Brookheart warmed at the compliment, and he turned to give Salmonpaw a humored hum. “Your paws are placed unevenly. Remember, the banks crumble easily. Stay away from any pile pebbles and spread your paws out. Keep your tail extended out for balance.”

"Nice catch," Ottermask purred from down river. He flicked his tail and smirked at the deputy.

"Nice catch," Ottermask purred from down river. He flicked his tail and smirked at the deputy. “Thank you.” Diamondheart purred towards Ottermask,scooting back a bit to hide his light fur from the water. He then nodded to Deadpath. “Let’s see what you can remember.”

"Oh..." Deadpath flattened his ears, but took a deep breath. "O-Okay." He slowly got up and limped toward the water, staring down into its depths. He had always enjoyed feeling the water on his fur, but it had been so long...
"Don't worry, Deadpath." Ottermask smiled in encouragement at the younger tom. "It's a skill you never forget once you learn it." Almost as if to emphasize, he struck his paw into the water with blinding speed, pulling up a silver, wiggling fish.

“And it’s okay to miss. Every trained warrior misses plenty of catches.” Diamondheart assured calmly, his fur flat and warm through the gentle cold around him. He watched Deadpath lightly.

The crippled warrior took a deep breath and nodded. At the encouragement of the two beside him, Deadpath crouched beside the water, single eye training on the shadows beneath the surface. He waited patiently for a shadow to come his way.
Ottermask padded up beside Diamondheart, placing his fish on the ground. He smiled quite contently at the deputy. It was so nice to have Deadpath back in the Clan.
Frostlake cleaned Earthstar's pelt, enjoying spending time with him.

"I'll try again." He took Brookheart's advice and spread his paws out, helping him keep balance. Troutfang nodded in approval at Salmonpaw's improvement.

Diamondheart glanced at Ottermask, glad to see the tom so much happier now that Deadpath was back.
Brookheart swished his tail as he nodded in approval. “Good form. The fish will always swim away if they see you moving alot. So keep patient and calm, and do not wave your tail.”

Salmonpaw nodded. "Thank you, Brookheart." he said earnestly.
Koipaw listened to herself and followed along, even though she had been doing it correctly.

In a sudden splash, Deadpath shot his paw toward the water at a shadow that drew closer; however, his balance was offset with being unable to move his tail and he ended up falling forward and into the river.
Ottermask perked toward Deadpath in alarm when the younger tom suddenly went in. He rushed to the river's side, fully prepared to jump into the freezing water to save his half-nephew, but a sigh of relief breathed from his throat when the younger warrior only corrected himself and began swimming back toward shore. "S-sorry." Deadpath was shivering from the cold water, his stutter only growing worse because of it. Ottermask reached out to help him back onto shore.

Diamondheart had sprung to his paws with concern, relieved the tom was alright. Even so, the deputy moved quickly to press his thick pelt to Deadpath’s, assuring. “No need to apologize. You’ll get right back into it in no time. Are you alright?”
Brookheart nodded to Salmonpaw, happy to see how he was progressing. He glanced at Troutfang, knowing Salmonpaw was as eager as his father had been at his age.

"He'll make a great warrior." Troutfang looked proudly at Salmonpaw. "You too, Koipaw."
"You think so?" Salmonpaw questioned, eyes lighting up at his father's praise.
"Of course we will. We have the best parents." Koipaw lightly nudged her brother.
Earthstar looked over at Frostlake. "So, how far along are you?" he asked.

Deadpath nodded, a course of shivering traveling down his spine. "I-I g-guess I m-miss cal-calculated by w-w-weight."
Ottermask twitched his whisker in amusement, pressing his fur to Deadpath's other side. "That's alright, Deadpath, maybe next time we should try the shallower parts of the river? We need to get you warmed up."

Frostlake flicked her ears. "Oh." She shook her head in amusement. "I feel so far along that I could just pop. I never realized how uncomfortable it is to have kits inside me."

“Of course. You and your siblings are progressing wonderfully.” Brookheart assured as he looked at Koipaw and Salmonpaw.
Diamondheart gave a nod of agreement, moving to pick up his fish and glance at the two warriors beside him.

Ottermask grabbed the fish he had caught and walked with Deadpath back to camp, keeping close to the younger warrior to help him keep warm.

"If you notice anything odd, go to Specklepaw right away." Earthstar ordered. "I don't want to risk anything bad happening to you." He pressed against Frostlake.
"We'll be warriors soon, won't we?" Salmonpaw looked at Koipaw, who shrugged.

Frostlake purred softly. "I appreciate your concern, Earthstar. I promise, if anything happens, you and Specklepaw will be the first to know."

Salmonpaw looked at Koipaw, who shrugged. “You’ve still got plenty to learn, but you’re making good progress.” Brookheart answered.

Specklepaw settled down into her nest, exhausted. Her eyelids closed heavily, and soon she was fast asleep.

Ospreypaw slipped away to let her sister rest, chest aching with pride for her family. She hoped her big brothers were watching from Starclan.

Specklecreek awoke, her eyes glistening. She bounded out of the medicine cat's den, looking for her sister...or Earthstar, whoever she ran into first.

Foxripple shook freezing water from his fur, scowling lightly as snow clung to his usually glossy pelt. A small fish was in his jaws. Diamondheart yawned as he continued working on patching up a hole the snow caused in the warrior’s den. Ospreypaw and Swanpaw worked at his side. Owlwhisker trembled in the cold, but kept his bright look.

Minkstep padded from the warriors den. She shivered softly, looking at the snow. The river would be freezing and prey harder to come by. She sighed and moved to see if she was assigned to a patrol.
Turtlefrost was sharing a small fish with Bassclaw, the two siblings chatting quietly.

Turtlefrost was sharing a small fish with Bassclaw, the two siblings chatting quietly. Finishing the den, Diamondheart nodded and dismissed the apprentices. Noticing Minkstep padding, he quickly remembered his next patrols and called. “Minkstep! I’m glad you’re nearby. I want you to lead a border patrol towards the Thunderclan border. Keep an eye for any freezing or Thunderclan scents. Take three cats of your choice.” The deputy offered. Owlwhisker, feeling social, looked towards Turtlefrost and Bassclaw. Padding towards them, he mewed. “Hello. Ah, may I join you? I’d rather be freezing with other cats than by myself.”

Minkstep looked up. "Oh uh ok Diamondheart. Her first patrol leader assignment! This was exciting!" She looked around for cats to join her. "Foxripple! Patrol." She spoke.
Bassclaw looked and nodded. "Sure." He agreed.
