Jealousy? "Could you elaborate?" he asked, ears perked up. (Oops lol. Didn’t see it) “I mean, you acting sweetly with Ospreystrike to get him to realize that he doesn’t have time to waste or that he’s not the only cat who could want to impress her.” Stonegaze shrugged casually. “Though, you and I both know you wouldn’t be seriously interested in her, but your brother won’t know that.” He smirked knowingly at the tom. "and say i do this, hypothetically would she be aware of this little plan" he asked mischievously. |

"I'll make Crookedstalk or Arcticflower move over just for you." Silentshade purred, grinning at him. "Of course, they might kick up a fuss, but they'll get over it." She added, her ear flicking in amusement. "I'm honored that you chose me as your mate." Thawfrost said, smiling fondly at her. He thanked StarClan every day that Orchidnight had agreed to be his mate, "You're stuck with me now, so I'm glad that you're happy with your decision." “Your siblings are cool. I’m sure they’d understand.” Puddlepaw assured casually, inwardly jumping at the chance to be close to her. Silentshade’s confidence and strength made him feel like an absolute mess, and he liked that feeling alot. “You say it like being stuck with you is a bad thing. I’d say it was the opposite.” Orchidnight looked up at him with a glimmer in her eyes, love and playfulness there that she reserved just for him. Silentshade gave a small shrug, "They're alright. They wouldn't let something like moving nests upset them, that's for sure." She mewed, glancing over her shoulder at her littermates. "We get along pretty well. What about you and your siblings? Airpaw and Stormpaw seem fairly level-headed." Thawfrost laughed, enjoying this rare moment with his mate. "Well, good, I'm glad you think so." He purred, nudging her playfully. "We should go on a walk sometime together soon, I miss spending time like this with you. I'm sure that one of the queens will be willing to watch the kits for a bit." Thawfrost suggested, looking at Orchidnight hopefully. |

But if she likes him too, she’d totally go with whatever got her what she wanted.” Stonegaze assured. |

Thawfrost suggested, looking at Orchidnight hopefully. Puddlepaw seemed to falter for a moment, inwardly conflicted. Airpaw and Stormpaw were off getting the training that Puddlepaw had wanted. He somewhat envied how they didn’t have such a strict yet important cat mentoring them. If Puddlepaw failed, he’d make Nightflame look bad, and that was practically unheard of. He shrugged, mewing as casually as possible. “We’re fine, the usual with littermates, you know? They wouldn’t care what I did with my nest.” “I’d love to go and stretch my legs. I love our kits, but Finkit alone wears me out.” Orchidnight sighed, though she spoke fondly and humorously about their daughter. Now that Smallkit was here too, she was sure it would only get more active. |

Birchtail stretched each limb out, scraping her claws against the pebbly ground. In the recent storm, she’d noticed some of the stones around camp had shifted to expose rough edges. Not wanting to see any scraped pads, she’d started flipping a few back over, particularly by the nursery. But the whole process was a little embarrassing, digging around in the dirt, so she was going at a very slow rate and fixing them only when others weren’t looking. But her paws were getting muddier and muddier, and it was getting harder and harder to avoid attention. Skystorm padded over to Birchtail, flicking his ear with curiosity. "What are you up to Birchtail?" he asked, slightly amused as he glanced at all the mud accumulating on her paws. ”Oh!” She turned at the sound of her name and sheepishly tried tucking her paws a little closer. “Hey Skystorm.” She looked around a minute, searching for the words. It was a genuinely good thing she was doing, but just messy enough to want to go unnoticed. Birchtail sighed, “I noticed some of the rocks near the nursery were a little sharp after they got flipped over. I was trying to turn them over or bury them a little so none of the kits would get scraped. It’s just still a little more muddy than I expected,” she gestured toward her paws. |

Stonegaze humored, his eyes flashing with a hint of mirth as he hummed thoughtfully. "I'm partial to carp or minnows, and as for my favorite color, I can't go wrong with a green. But specifically the green of the lilypads that grow in the lazy sections of the river, where the medicine cats get their Watermint." He explained. "What about you, Rippleshine?" |

Coppersky had hung back after the apprentice's ceremony, glancing around awkwardly. Diamondheart had instructed him to lead his first patrol but how was he supposed to get other cats to come with him? His ears perked up as he noticed Petalcreek's familiar face. He trotted over, dipping his head in greeting. "Petalcreek, Diamondheart asked me to take out a patrol to the Thunderclan border. Would you mind coming with me?" Petalcreek looked up when she spotted Coppersky heading her way and gave him a friendly smile, "Sure! I was actually just thinking about seeing if there were any patrols that I could join. Do you have anyone else in mind to have join us?" She asked, tilting her head. "That's great! I still don't know many cats around here very well so I was glad to see you weren't busy." Coppersky replied, glancing around the camp for anyone else that looked like they could join them. "Do you know of anyone that still needs to join a patrol today?" |

Skystorm snickered quietly, giving the she-cat a good-natured smile. "Well with greenleaf coming soon, I'm sure the kits will all be frolicking out here soon enough, I admire your effort." He pawed idly at one of the stones near her paw, his own white and gray fur staining with mud. "I know my sisters's kits were just apprenticed, but I'd be willing to give you a paw if you need it." |

Earthstar jumped down from the Reed Rock. He caught Alder's gaze and flicked his tail in indication that he wanted to speak to the loner, but he also saw Iciclestep and Snowflower waiting for him. Flicking his ear, he turned to address the warriors first. "Is there something wrong?"

Iciclestep perked up quickly as his grandfather noticed him and Snowflower's hesitant approach in wait for him. He lifted his muzzle, reporting quickly. "Out on patrol at our outer border into No-Cat's land, Snowflower and I spotted a Twoleg acting very unusual. He was walking around and holding up an odd, shiny rock at plants and rocks in the territory. He also seemed to be making markings on tree bark with a stick. He moved back off the territory without either of us being spotted. The only reason we didn't call for a patrol was because the Twolegs left our territory all-together. But we wanted to report it, it might be a concern for the future." He glanced at Snowflower, in case she wanted to add anything. |

With hunting, the shiny things I like are the fish, so I want to catch them anyway." He explained. |

Birchtail bobbed her head in agreement. “I think the queens would appreciate it,” she replied. Then, feeling a little less embarrassed now that someone had joined her, she dug back into the dirt and started on another group of stones. “How’s your sister adjusting back to warrior duties?” She asked lightly, having not been paired with the she-cat for any recent tasks. “And are the apprentices getting along with their mentors?” |

Skystorm set to work beside her, using his large paws to scoop under a heavier stone and flip it to a rounded side."The kits are very excited to have started their training. They have been babbling off Minnowtail's ear about their lessons. She was never much of a strong warrior type, I think she liked being a queen. Especially during leafbare. Our brother fell through the ice and drowned when we were apprentices. Since then, she's always been scared of the river when it's frozen over." mintleaf2 |

That must be comforting for Minnowtail to know they won’t be on the ice until they’re stronger swimmers.” |

Skystorm hummed in agreement, "We had two other littermates, I just told you about Reedpaw, but we had another sister Mistcloud as well. She was struck by a falling tree branch in a huge storm. I always said if I had a mate and kits one day I would name them after one or both of them. You're right about Minnowtail though, she was relieved when she found out she would have her kits in leafbare. That way they would have all newleaf and greenleaf to learn how to swim before leafbare came back around."
(Reedpaw and Mistcloud were rped by someone who left the forums, that's why they both died :/ )

She flicked her eyes over to where Snowflower was debriefing Earthstar with the report. She couldn’t imagine having had other siblings she loved as much as Snowflower and having lost them. “That’s a lovely idea though. I hope you’re able to make that dream come true someday.” After a few moments of work and the ground starting to look better, she added, “You two must be close.” |

Skystorm flipped another stone, "I suppose, I know you and Snowflower are very close too. I'd say it's about the same." he mewed flashing her a smile. "I don't think we were this close though until after Minnowtail had her kits, I liked to play with them and watch them while she was tired and Ripplepath was out on patrol. It's nice to have more kin again."

Her paws itched with the drying, flaky mud, but the conversation had grabbed her more than the urge to rush to the river compelled her. “Do you wish you’d been able to mentor one of the kits? Or do you think you would’ve been too nice to them?” She asked with a laugh. “If Snowflower ever has kits, I think I’ll spoil them rotten.” |

Skystorm brought a paw to his face, attempting to lick off the drying mud. His nose wrinkled at the taste, he knew it was too much to do on his own. "Let's go to the river bank and get washed off. It'll take ages to do it ourselves." He got to his paws, waiting for her to join him. "It would have been fun to mentor them, but I have Lakepaw as an apprentice to worry about. And you're right, I would be worried I'd go too soft on them. Any cat in the clan cat Snowflower's eye? Perhaps kits are more likely than you think." he mewed with a snicker. mintleaf2 |

He only held up that odd rock and scratched his bark with a stick. Then, he just… padded off.” He explained. “He just seemed curious, like a kit. He seemed to be pretty relaxed, maybe he was a medicine twoleg, and was looking at plants?” He tried to theorize, before he shook his head. “I’m not sure, Grandfather.” |

Earthstar relaxed at that. However, he was unsure if medicine twolegs existed, or any sort of reasoning behind their odd behaviors in general. "Thank you, Iciclestep. It sounds like this is something we should keep an eye on." he mewed, glancing at Snowflower in acknowledgement. "Did you notice anything else?"

Minkstep was quiet as she listened to his story. She moved closer o I’m, pressing against him briefly for comfort. “He sounds like he was pretty special.” She spoke softly. Her heart aches for him, seeing him so sad. She let out a shirt sigh. “Come on, let’s go for a walk.” Foxripple blinked in surprise as Minkstep pressed close to him. He wanted to tense up, but found himself unable to deny the comfort she gave him just by being there. The hollowness he felt with most cats he had cozied up to after Graysplash’s death was not present with Minkstep. Instead, she genuinely filled a hole in him, enough to terrify him. He nodded numbly, knowing he would go anywhere she asked. He tried to tease. “Ooh, a walk with just us? You’re a charmer, Minkstep, what will the Clan think?” (Here ya go, Fox!) |
