(( Darkpaw needs a mentor if anyone wants to hop in with him )) Ashpaw did her best to contain her laughter. She knew Robinkit would find them eventually, since the kit was young but not stupid, but this was still fun. "I don't know, maybe." She whispered softly when Tigerpaw brought up hunting. "I need to find Softbreeze." Having the deputy as her mentor was exciting, but it also had it's downside. Like when the older she-cat was performing her duties and Ashpaw didn't have time to train with her. Darkpae woke up with a start, glancing around the apprentices den and realizing that many of his denmates were already gone, including Ashpaw. He briefly wondered why she didn't wake him up, shaking off the thought as she gave his pelt a quick and thorough groom before heading out into camp. The dark tom arched his back and yawned as he stretched, glancing around camp to look for his mentor. Featherleap / ( Corax ) Featherleap spotted Pyrefrost enter camp with a sparrow hanging from his jaws, his sides heaving and breath short as if he'd just gotten back from a run. The calico she-cat stood up from where she'd been resting near the warriors den and trotted over to the other. "Pyrefrost," She greeted with a friendly purr, head tilting curiously as she looked him over. "You went out for a run?" She remembered that he often went on runs to clear his mind, so she wondered if something was bothering him.

Halfpaw Halfpaw sat quiet for a moment, while Shinestar and Softbreeze confronted her mentor. But, as Softbreeze glanced at her, she knew it was better for her to leave for the time being. “I’ll be around, Pigeonfeather. See you in a bit.” Halfpaw said, getting up and wandering off into the camp.
She milled about in camp for a few moments before settling down near the camp entrance. She had decided to wait for patrols to return. Maybe a few of them would bring back some herbs. Or, at the very least, she could help carry freshkill.

Pyrefrost jumped a little at Quailshine's jab and rolled his eyes at her playfully, purring slightly. He kneaded the ground slightly with his paws. "I woke up this morning and was cold, so I figured that it might be a good idea to go for a run." The tom stretched his neck a little and smiled at them. "You guys should come with me some time. I'd like to see if you can keep up." Though his tone was smooth, there was a concern behind his eyes that gave away that something was still on his mind.
Andromeda's ear twitched slightly and she cleared her throat a little before laughing. "Hello? I'm right here!" The she-cat stood up and waved her tail in greeting, closing her eyes and tilting her eyes to show she was friendly. "I caught the clan some prey. I figured that you guys might need it." She mewed calmly, sitting back down and gesturing to the kill with her forepaw
(I have Dawnlight available, she could mentor Blackpaw)
Dawnlight lifted her eyes from the ground when she saw some shuffling at the apprentice den, trotting over with a slight purr. "Good morning, Blackpaw. Slept in?" Her whiskers twitched slightly in amusement, her eyes bright. She overslept many a day and her mentor hadn't been at all pleased so she wanted to be different. The last thing she wanted was for her apprentice to fear her.

“There’s only one thing that we’d wish to discuss right now, Pigeonfeather, and I think you know what it is,” Softbreeze answered, touching her tail-tip to the small medicine cat’s flank to soothe her. She held Pigeonfeather’s gaze for a moment, then glanced meaningfully at Halfpaw. While Softbreeze understood that Halfpaw, being the medicine cat in training, was different from other apprentices, she still felt that such an important discussion should be left to the three of them. Pigeonfeather watched as her apprentice nodded and headed out or thier den. Her gaze flicked back to Shinestar and Softbreeze. "Halfpaw and I were going to go visit the Star Stone soon. Starclan wasnt very clear on thier prophecy." Pigeonfeather said this all very quietly.

(Robinkit, Ashpaw, and Tigerpaw)
Robinkit crouched low to the ground as he neared the nursery. He could hear his two firends chattering quietly. He crawled over to the entrance of the nursery and with a mighty roar he leaped through the entrance. "I found you two!" He squeaked loudly.

Lemonbelly slowly made her way through the entrance a crow hanging from her muzzle. Her reddish orange gaze flicking to Halfpaw. "Hello Halfpaw." She purred through her catch. "Did Pigeonfeather kick you out of the medicine cats den?" She asked softly.

Tigerpaw | Robinkit Ashpaw
Tigerpaw flinched as the kit leaped through the entrance. “Good job.” he mewed to him:He gave a glance at Ashpaw, “You going to look for Softbreeze now?” he asked.He wanted to hunt to with her,but if she needed to do something then Tigerpaw respected that.

The last thing she wanted was for her apprentice to fear her. Quailshine watched her firend for a second before flopping down next to him. She had noticed how concerned he was. "What has your fur all in a ruffle? Did Lemonbelly push you around again." Quailshine chuckled softly. Quailshine had always been a rather motherly she-cat. Even to warriors twice her age. Badger leaped back from the she-cat that stood just mouse lengths away. His fur fluffing out as he stared this mysterious she-cat down. His gaze flicked down to the two small birds before him. "Oh." He said quietly. "Uhh, thank you." His gaze flicked back up to the she-cat. He was very curious about this she-cat. "Do you stand here often?" He asked quietly.

Pyrefrost sighed deeply, his sides still recovering from his run. The tom batted at the grass with his paw slightly before looking up at the sky. "Just your average Leafbare anxieties," He mumbled, "Something seems different this time. I mean, it's always caused a knot in my stomach but it just feels like something is coming..." Turning his ears outwards he looked out over the camp, his posture slumping. "I don't think I'm the only one who feels it."
Andromeda purred in amusement sitting back down, her tail tip twitching slightly. "It's a pass time," She mewed, "Sometimes I stand at that fallen tree over there." The she-cat gestured to the aforementioned tree. "Maybe if I'm feeling bold I'll go sit on one of the rounded rocks by the stream."

Halfpaw (/w Lemonbelly) Halfpaw nodded at Lemonbelly. “Er, well, sort of.” she said. “It was more Softbreeze kicked me out. She and Shinestar need to talk to Pigeonfeather.” She understood why. Even though she was a medicine cat apprentice, there were some things that were better left to those that were in charge.

"Yeah, I have had the same feeling." Her gaze flicked back to her firend. "I saw Shinestar storming out of Pigeonfeathers den today. I hope everything is alright." Quailshine shrugged softly. Badger's gaze flicked over to the tree then over to stream. He looked confused. "But why?" He questioned softly. "The onlything your going to see is clan cats and if your lucky a deer or two." Badger looked utterly confused.

"Well if your bored do you want to go out and look for herbs? I bet Pigeonfeather would love the extra herbs. Plus I can show you what I learned when I was a medicine cat." Lemonbelly smiled slightly. Lemonbelly didnt bring up her old training that much.

Robinkit looked a little crestfallen as the apprentices were talking about leaving. "Could we play one more game?" He asked softly. "I will you count this time!" He added quickly.

Pyrefrost felt his stomach twist at the thought of Greencough and Whitecough, his mind drifting back to when he lost his mother and sister to the sickness. He sunk his claws into the frozen ground. The tom stood up, trying to shake his fear. "We should see if we can find catmint," His eyes were dark as he stretched attempting to uncurl the claws gripping his stomach. "Just in case..."
Andromeda shrugged her shoulders. "The simple answer is that I'm lonely." She looked at him with a small, sad smile. "I live alone, so I use this chance to talk to anyone that I can." The she-cat's ear twitched once, then again. "But I guess I enjoy seeing you guys and your life style."

Quailshine watched him for a second. She smiled and pulled herself to her paws. "Sure! I heard the best place to look for it is around the lightning struck boulder." Quailshine smiled softly. "Maybe we will find something intriguing on our walk." With that she started towards the camps entrance.
"Oh." Badger understood that feeling well. When he was a loner he would spend weeks without seeing any cat and was a very lonely life. "Well um I have some time to burn." He paused. "I could spend some time with you if you wish." Badger smiled.

Pyrefrost smiled softly at his friend and followed after her. Seeing her bright attitude was helping him to feel a little more at ease. One paw over another, he padded after her. "I sure hope so," He mewed, "I'd love to see something more interesting then the rock I found earlier. It was a neat rock."
Andromeda grinned and jumped up and down. "That would be great! It would make my day!" She turned a circle and laughed a little before clearing her throat. "Sorry. I get overexcited sometimes." The she-cat sat back down and played it cool. "So, what do you want to do?"

Quailshine chuckled softly. "Maybe we will find someone trespassing on clan territory." That would be the most interesting thing Quailshine had seen in a couple weeks.
Badger smiled. "Hmmm, I'm not sure." He paused and glanced around. "Is there anything you would like to do?" He asked softy. Bager wasnt sure if he should tell this strange she-cat onto Gorgeclan territory. That could get both of them in trouble.

Pyrefrost snorted a little padding in front of her slightly. "Conflict seems exciting, yes." He raised his head and parted his jaws slightly sniffing the air for any signs of trespassers, the cold making it harder to detect anything. "The implications of it would troubling though. The last thing that we need is someone trying to steal our territory."
Andromeda scrunched her nose in thought for a moment, thinking. "Not really, I'm not really a great fighter." She looked over her shoulder, recalling a fox that she had seen a few days ago that had chased her up a tree. "Maybe you could teach me how to defend myself?"

Quailshine nodded softly. "That would be troubling." Soon the pair reached the lightning struck boulder. Quailshine sniffed the air as she reached it. "It looks like Shinestar and Softbreeze was here at one point." She said softly.
Badger seemed excited suddenly. He had not had a apprentice yet and this would be great practice when he got one. "I would love too!" Badger got to his paws. "But we should practice away from the boarder."

Halfpaw's ears perked up. "You were a medicine cat?" she asked, curiosity clear in her voice. She never knew this about Lemonbelly. Halfpaw stood up, in case Lemonbelly still had intentions on going to look for herbs with her. "Why are you a warrior now?" she asked, tilting her head. "Did something happen?"

Tigerpaw let out a small laugh at the kits beg. “Okay.....one more game.” Tigerpaw put his tail on the kits shoulders before going to count.He put his face in his paws and closed his eyes.

Lemonbelly smiled at Halfpaw as she turned and headed back out of the camp. She rarely told anyone this story. "When I was a kit, my brother and I got very sick. So I spent a lot of time with Pigeonfeather, I learned a lot about herbs and I absolutely fell in love with helping and healing cats." Lemonbelly paused to glance over to Halfpaw. "But soon after I was apprenticed, I just felt trapped. My brother and my firends all went out and did cool things while I was stuck inside a small den counting herbs. I got restless, hot headed and snappy. Soon I realized I was better suited to be a warrior than a med cat. That's also when Badger came along and we became close firends then mates." Lemonbelly chuckled and ducked under a low hanging branch. "Its not a cool story or anything. I was destined to be a warrior." Lemonbelly paused "and a mother." Lemonbelly winked at Halfpaw.

Robinkit nodded vigorously. "Thank you Tigerpaw!" He squeaked before taking off. He hurled himself across the camp and buried himself in a small pile of maple leaves he had scraped together that morning.

Pyrefrost prodded around the area and sat at the base of the rock for a moment. "That would explain where they ran off to." He scanned the foliage for catmint the scent of it threatening to bring back the memories of his family. Begrudgingly he followed the scent until he prodded up a few decent pawfuls of it before stopping and looking at the herb. They were buried not far from here. Maybe he should visit? The tom shook his head and looked to Quailshine. "After this, wanna go for a walk around the territory?"
(I'm worried that I'm making a mistake by starting to ship Pyrefrost and Quailshine in my mind)
The loner nodded her head eagerly in agreement. "Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want to get you into trouble with the clan." She padded back the way she came, getting closer to her den and stopping in a small clearing by a stream next to the big tree she built her den under. "This should work. This is where I live." Andromeda pawed at some of the dying grass and sighed, looking back up at the tom. "How do you guys survive the winter? I'm worried I'm going to freeze."

Quailshine padded up to a small patch of leaves and gave them a sniff. Her gaze flicking over to Pyrefrost. "That sounds nice. I have been stuck in the camp all morning." Quailshine lifted her head and looked around. She didn't spot any catmint right away. The early frost had killed a lot of the plants around this area. "I think we should look somewhere else." She said softly as she trotted up to her friend. (Quainshine doesn't have a mate yet ) Badgers gaze flicked around the small clearing. "Its nice." He said warmly. His gaze flicked back to Andromeda. "We share a large den together to stay warm." He said softly. Badger watched Andromeda for a long seconded, He wondered if Shinestar would left her join. She seemed utterly alone out here and she was a good hunter. But she was another mouth to feed. "After we train i can teach you how to made your den walls much more thicker."

He nodded after a moment of thought, grabbing what he could in his mouth. Pale blue eyes flickered out in the direction of the border as the tom wrestled with himself on whether to go and visit his family. Pyrefrost swallowed his feelings and trotted in the other direction. "Do you have any other ideas as to where it might be?" He mumbled through the leaves still clamped in his jaws.
(Well then maybe Pyrefrost may be getting a crush if ya catch my drift)
The she-cat nodded and stretched her muscles a little bit. "I would love that. I have no idea what leafbare will bring." Andromeda looked at the sky for a moment before looking back to Badger warmly. "Thank you so much for doing this. If there's a way I can make it up to you, let me know." She got down into what she though was a battle stance. "So where do we start?"

Halfpaw (/w Lemonbelly) Halfpaw trotted after Lemonbelly. Her ears were perked up high as she listened to the warriors story intently. Even if the story was “boring” she was still interested. Getting to know her clanmates was always fun. Meanwhile, her eyes flicked to and fro in search of whatever herbs might still be lingering in the cold weather of leafbare. Suddenly her attention shifted fully to Lemonbelly. “A mother??” she asked. “Does Badger know?”

Quailshine thought for a long second. "Pigeonfeather told me once that Catmint likes sunny areas." She turned around quickly to face Pyrefrost. "Oh! What about the small clearing near the gorge?" Quailshine looked exited now
(I catch ya drift. Hehe)
Badger smiled softly and watched his new friend. "Hmm, your stance is a little off." He got down into a battle stance. "You need to pull in your back legs a little. If you need to leap at your attacker your leap will not be as strong." It felt nice to be doing somthing diffrent for a change. Especially if it was to help someone.

Lemonbelly chuckled softly. "No, I haven't told him yet." The ginger she cat stopped to sniff at a small bundle of horsetail. She plucked the small bundle carefully and held it softly in her muzzle. "Badger is terrified of being a father." She said softly.
