Heyo) Stormpaw and Airpaw were practicing some battle moves outside the warriors den, but at times they’re practice turned into a playful scuffle before turning back into actual practice. Thawfrost padded into camp carrying a couple of fish in his jaws and dropped them on to the fresh-kill pile. He glanced around, wondering if Orchidnight was around anywhere. Blackmask was sharing some prey with his mother, Shininglight, and chatting about the day. Arcticpaw was sitting with Silentpaw, the sisters waiting for their mentors to gout training. “Silentpaw, there you are.” Orchidnight approached her apprentice with a flick of her ears. “I see you’re ready to go. Good! Though, it’s time we get to training. We’re going to do some swimming today.” She decided, before her eyes caught onto Thawfrost’s. She blinked, fur warming a bit before she righted herself again. Thawfrost gave Orchidnight a smile as he met her eyes, “Hey! You two going out training?” He asked, walking towards them. Silentpaw was about to respond to her mentor when she noticed Orchidnight falter at the sight of Thawfrost and flicked her ear in curiosity, “Yeah. Orchidnight is going to show me some swimming moves.” She said.

Winterfrost listened. “If anyone disliked you for that, they’d have to answer to all sorts of cats. Your mother and father, your siblings, me... that’s a good way of seeing it. Maybe that’s part of what kept me here.” she said. “Back when I was a loner, I was on my own... nobody to support me, nobody to help if anything went wrong.” “...Grandmother, did you...ever think about joining Thunderclan, back when you spent time with Papa’s father around there? It must have been as lonely back then as it was later on.” Bubblepaw asked lightly, having never met her grandfather. Diamondheart had never really known his father all that well, but he had said before that Quailsong had been gentle and curious, and a bit shy.

Swimming.” Orchidnight coughed to clear her throat, before she steadied herself as best as she could. “Silentpaw’s at the age where we should start swimming as much as possible...Would you care to join us?” She offered, looking at Thawfrost with a familiar look.

Thawfrost blinked in surprise, “Oh, are you sure? I don’t want to get in your way as your training Silentpaw.” He mewed, although he perked up at the idea of spending more time with the she-cat.
Silentpaw looked up at her mentor as she coughed before looking back at Thawfrost as he answered, realization suddenly dawning on her as to why the two were acting so strange. Her whiskers twitched in amusement as she waited for her mentor to finish up talking.

Diamondheart had never really known his father all that well, but he had said before that Quailsong had been gentle and curious, and a bit shy. "In some ways, yes." Winterfrost answered, curling her tail around her paws. "I was used to being on my own, but Quailsong was there, and I know he belonged there..." she mewed, thinking back to that time. "Ultimately it never happened. I don't know if I would fit in there anyway."

"We can use you as demonstration." Orchidnight decided, trying to sound as sophisticated as she could to hide the fact that she simply wanted him to spend time with her. She glanced at Silentpaw, still considering her as she inquired. "Would that be alright with you? Thawfrost is a skilled swimmer. He'll be able to help increase your training.

"Is it because you think swimming is totally better than all those land activities? Because it totally is better." Bubblepaw asked, humor creeping into he voice as she began to groom her thick coat free of leaves and other pesky things.

"Maybe." Winterfrost chuckled. "In reality, I couldn't see myself in a Clan at that time. I was used to being independent despite my love for Quailsong. But swimming is quite fun, and my pelt seems to work well with it."

But swimming is quite fun, and my pelt seems to work well with it." “...I never really think about it, but being in love. What does that feel like? I know mama and papa are really deeply in love, but I never got all that lovey-dovey stuff. I’d like to know what it feels like one day, though.” Bubblepaw asked, looking at Winterfrost’s pelt with approval at how pretty and pure it looked.

Winterfrost sighed. "It can be very powerful. Most cats would probably answer differently, but one thing is certain... it makes you want to do everything for the one you care about. It turned my world upside down, for sure." she spoke. "I was expecting to be a rogue all on my own my whole life until I met Quailsong."

He must have been pretty special, even if he was a smelly Thunderclan cat." Bubblepaw giggled, a joking edge filling her voice as she stared at her grandmother with wonder. She loved hearing stories, especially ones like these.

Winterfrost twitched her whiskers in amusement. "He was never really a smelly ThunderClan cat to me. But maybe he was a smelly Clan cat at first!" she joked. "Maybe you'll meet someone one day, but maybe not. Either way, you shouldn't rush it." she advised.

"Well..." Bubblepaw shuffled her paws, taking her grandmother's advice to heart. "I'm real sorry that he's not here anymore. But I'm sure he's watching over you and probably thinks you're still the prettiest she-cat he ever met. I'm even more glad that you found your sons again! It's like a reunion of fate! Like a story!" Bubblepaw exclaimed, delighted in her theatrics. She hid her laughter with her paw. "Sorry. I get really sappy sometimes. Applepaw says so at least."

Winterfrost felt her heart warm at her granddaughter's words. "I truly hope so. And maybe you'll have your own story once you become a warrior." she mewed. "The Clan could use some optimism."

"You're right about that! Some cats are so glum around here. What's the use in living if you're too down in the waters to do it?" Bubblepaw exclaimed, her optimism showing in the puff of her chest and the glimmer in her eyes. She brushed against Winerfrost warmly. "Thanks for keeping me company, and I hope you like that shell! I'll try and find more tomorrow after training."

Littleshadow yawned as she exited the warriors den, smiling to herself as she noticed how nice the weather is. She looked around, hoping to spot the lovely dark and cream pelt of her mate. It would be a lovely day to go swimming.
Tinypool and Stormsplash sat together, sharing a small fish.
Minnowtail was sitting outside the nursery, grooming Viperkit while Songkit danced around them.

Owlwhisker sat near the edge of camp, entertaining Mintkit as her mother was busy grooming Maskkit. Mintkit’s eyes were curious as she mewed. “You don’t have a big pelt. Did it fall off while you were swimming?”
The tom’s eyes were bright with humor as he joked. “Yup. A wave washed all of it off. Now I’m as skinny as a stick. That’s why you have to be careful and do everything you’re told when you’re learning to swim.” He chuckled, before he caught sight of Littleshadow and waved his tail brightly to her.

Littleshadow purred as she made her way over to Owlwhisker. "It's a beautiful day isn't it?" she greeted before turning to look at Mintkit, "Hello little one." she mewed warmly.

“The most beautifullest one of the season so far.” Owlwhisker declared, eyes sparkling with mirth as he touched his nose playfully to Littleshadow’s cheek. He turned to look back down at Mintkit, who was now properly distracted by Littleshadow.
“Hello! Owlwhisker’s pelt got stolen by a big wave. I don’t want mine to get stolen!” Mintkit fretted, lifting her hind leg to scratch at her ear.

Littleshadow's ear twitched in amusement, "Stolen by a big wave huh? That does sound pretty scary. The river can be scary if you don't know what you're doing. But once you learn how to swim correctly I'm sure your pelt will be completely safe."

But once you learn how to swim correctly I'm sure your pelt will be completely safe." “I think a wave also stole Littleshadow’s pelt too. She and I are pretty small Warriors, huh?” Owlwhisker nudged his mate playfully, which in turn caused Mintkit to giggle. “I’ll be bigger than both of you one day, then.” She decided, lifting her chin high like she had seen her father do before. “I’ll be stronger than a wave anyway.”

Littleshadow laughed, eyes bright with amusement. "I'm sure you will be Mintkit. You'll have to work hard though to be a strong warrior. Are you prepared to do that?"

Littleshadow laughed, eyes bright with amusement. "I'm sure you will be Mintkit. You'll have to work hard though to be a strong warrior. Are you prepared to do that?" “Of course! My parents work super hard.” Mintkit exclaimed. “I’m going to be just like them. Even if she can’t walk well, my mama is brave. And my papa is even braver. Earthstar himself will have to mentor me!” She decided.

Littleshadow looked up at Owlwhisker, slightly shocked at the kit's bold statement, "That would be quite the learning experience I'm sure." she mewed carefully. "Mentors can teach you a lot, but Earthstar is quite busy being leader as well, you want a mentor who has lots of time to devote themselves to you too. Not that Earthstar wouldn't." she supposed.

"I'll be extra special if Earthstar's teaching me though!" Mintkit exclaimed as if it was obvious. She smiled up at Owlwhisker and Littleshadow. "Did Earthstar mentor either of you?" "Hm? Oh, no, not me." Owlwhisker chuckled. "I was already old enough to be a Warrior when I joined, but I was Owlpaw for a little while. I was trained by Mistfall! In fact, she's the reason I'm even here today! She saved me from the river after a..." He hesitated, his eyes flashing with sadness for a second. "After a really big battle. She taught me everything I know." He smiled once again, the memory shaking away.

Littleshadow shook her head, "Not me either, I did learn a lot from my older siblings though, Tinypool and Stormsplash. Stormsplash is a very powerful swimmer. Perhaps one day you could ask him for a couple tips. He loves helping the younger cats." she mewed, trying to allow Owlwhisker a moment to recover.

"Stormsplash is huge!" Mintkit admitted. "How is he gonna hear me all the way up there?" She fretted, before she flicked her ears curiously. "My only sibling is Maskkit. I think that he's strong, but not as strong as me!" She was distracted by Owlwhisker's long tail then, trying to pounce at it.
Owlwhisker gave a giggle of laughter, waving his tail around wildly for Mintkit to chase. He mewed lightly to Littleshadow. "You have some pretty great siblings. I bet learning to swim with them was a real blast. Stuff like this makes me wish I was born here, all that going through clan kithood and apprenticeships and all that!" He admitted.

Littleshadow watched Mintkit for a moment, before looking back at Owlwhisker, a bittersweet smile on her face, "I love them with all my heart, that is true. But, I didn't always feel like I fit in with them considering they are my adoptive family. They accepted me right away, but I couldn't help but feel the loss of my own siblings and mother, which I know you understand" she mewed softly, hoping her somber statements wouldn't reach Mintkit.
