Iriskit stared back at her father with round eyes, nodding at each word. He could have told her just about anything and she would have believed it. "Mama said the puddles aren't always here... where do they go?"
Sapkit grinned at Pondkit as his brother jumped in too! "It's fun isn't it?" he asked, jumping up and spraying more water about.
Littleshadow watched with shining eyes, "Go on and give another big jump too Pondkit. Getting used to the water is the first step of being a Riverclan warrior.

Or up in the air. Very slowly." Owlwhisker nodded, proud of his own explination. This wasn't so bad, this smart talk stuff! He chuckled. "You know, there are some Riverclan cats who don't swim as often as others do. I can't swim much during leafbare, because my fur is too short. So, I get to lead alot of land patrols." He admitted. "I like it." Pondkit nodded, voice soft as he watched his brother for a moment, before he quietly yet playfully began to scamper after him, splashing around whenever Sapkit did. He looked at his mother, before scuttling out of the puddle, and then jumping right back into it. "Like that, mama?"

Iriskit asked quietly. Littleshadow laughed, playfully splashing a paw into the water along with the kits "Yes Pondkit, just like that! When you're older, we'll take you to the river. It's like this puddle but much bigger! One day you'll learn to swim in it. I hope you both love it as much as I do."

We’ll teach you, but if you really don’t like it, then I think our leader and deputy are fair. They may have you do lots of land patrols and hunts, just like me.” Owlwhisker offered. “Oh! Well… if you like it, I’ll like it.” Pondkit decided as he waddled over to his mother’s side. He weaved between her legs, pawing curiously at the water. “Are we the only Clan that swims? Rosekit said there’s a… Windclan? What’s that?”

Iriskit hummed with a nod, "Okay, that sounds good. Do you like swimming Papa? Even if your fur doesn't?"
"There are five clans in the forest my love. But yes, we're the only ones that swim. Windclan lives on wide open land and hunts rabbits. Their warriors have thin fur and long tails and legs. The other clans are called Shadowclan, Thunderclan and Skyclan." Littleshadow said.
Sapkit stopped his splashing to listen to Littleshadow, interested in hearing about the clans. "That sounds like a lot of cats."

"That sounds like a lot of cats." “I like swimming in greenleaf, when it’s hot outside.” Owlwhisker explained. “But soon, it will be way too cold for me to swim, when all the leaves fall and white falls from the sky. That’s snow, by the way. But it gets too cold for me to swim.” He admitted. “Woah… does Shadowclan play shadow tag, like me and Iriskit and Sapkit?” Pondkit asked curiously.

Iriskit blinked owlishly at her father, "Will I like snow? Does the clan like snow?"
"I'm sure their kits probably play a similar game." Littleshadow answered honestly. "Perhaps when you're apprenticed and you go to your first gathering, you can ask the Shadowclan apprentices."

It’s super cold, but it sure is beautiful.” Owlwhisker purred, enamored every leafbare when it snowed. He adored it, remembering when he used to try and catch snowflakes with Tessa. “Oh! Yeah, I can do that.” Pondkit squeaked, before he looked expectantly up at his mother. “Can you be my mentor? I want you to be my mentor, mama.”

Iriskit looked up at the sky, squinting up at it skeptically. "Will it snow soon?"
Littleshadow shook her head. "No, little one, parents aren't allowed to mentor their kits. It's a clan rule. I won't be the main cat in charge of your training, but that doesn't mean I can't take you out sometimes. I would love to help you learn how to swim."

Sometimes it snows very early in leaffall. Sometimes it snows very late into leafbare. Snow falls when it wants to, not when we want it to." Owlwhisker humored, tapping his paw gently against Iriskit's nose and purring at her. "You sure are curious, huh?" "Aw... I want you to be my mentor. You're my favorite!" Pondkit pouted, before he quickly seemed interested in Littleshadow's words. "Can we take Sapkit and Iriskit with us? I want them to come too." He asked.

"Of course." Littleshadow purred, "We'll go out all together. It'll be a family event."

Way more than me when I was little like you.” Owlwhisker shook his head, turning to start grooming Iriskit’s ears. “My smart kit. I’m the proudest cat ever!” “Okay!” Pondkit nodded, before he began to sneakily wade towards Sapkit. He wiggled his haunches before he jumped at his brother. “Got you!”

Heyooo)
Petalcreek groomed her fur in a spot of weak sunlight, trying to enjoy the warmth as much as she could before leafbare. She had just finished eating a fish and was just thinking about if she should go out hunting or on a walk. Perhaps she could join a border patrol if they needed the extra paws.

Coppersky padded out of the warrior's den with a yawn, feeling much better after a nap following dawn patrol. He peered around the camp, stopping on Petalcreek's familiar face. He padded over to her with a smile, "Morning Petalcreek."

He wiggled his haunches before he jumped at his brother. “Got you!” Iriskit smiled, basking in her father's praise. "I'll be the smartest Riverclan cat ever then!" Sapkit who had been studying a pebble beneath the water jumped as Pondkit bowled him over. He yelped as he fell over into the water with a big splash. Sitting up he giggled, realizing both of their fur was plastered to their bodies. "Do cats always look like this when they get wet? We look so silly!"

Petalcreek looked up when she heard her name and gave Coppersky a friendly smile, “Morning, Coppersky. You just get up?” She asked, waving her tail for him to join her.

"Ah well, I went on dawn patrol then went back to my nest for a bit. I have to admit I'm not used to how cool the wind is off of the river. I felt like my bones were frozen when we got back, and it's not even leafbare yet." Coppersky replied.

“I know what you mean, it’s always worse when it’s early in the morning.” Petalcreek said with a small laugh. “I don’t blame you for wanting to warm up after that patrol. The sun’s out now though, so it should be a little warmer by the river now.”

"It does make a big difference." Coppersky rumbled, fluffing his fur out in the now sun-warmed air. "Have you been out yet today?"

“Not yet. I was actually just thinking about going out for a walk or do some hunting.” Petalcreek mewed, giving her fur a light shake. “You’re welcome to join me if you would like. Have you been practicing your fishing since the last time we went hunting together?” She asked, having enjoyed hunting with him last time.

"Sure, I'd be happy to! I have been out a couple of times, and I think I'm getting better. I've caught a couple of fish, but I could do with some more practice." Coppersky replied.

Yeah, you totally could be!” Owlwhisker brightened, optimistic for any hope his kits had for their future. He settled down on his belly, Iriskit on his back as he mused. “Have you and your brothers been playing with the other kits?” He asked. Pondkit looked down at his fur, giving a little giggle as he mewed. “Yeah, we do look funny!” Shaking his fur, he sent water everywhere before he blinked, now looking like a spiky chestnut as he squeaked. “My fur went everywhere! Is it gonna fall out?!”

Petalcreek stood up and started walking towards the camp entrance, giving Coppersky a small smile, "That's good to hear. I'm glad that it's starting to get a little easier for you." She said as they made their way out of camp. She started walking along a small pathway towards one of her favorite fishing spots, a smaller part of the river that had a slower current than the rest of it. "What about the rest of Clan life? Are you liking the patrols so far?" Petalcreek asked, glancing back at Copperky.

(I believe we don't have a left-off post, so I'll start some starters for ya, Ice!)
Orchidnight watched her kits playing with soft eyes, seeming to be in a better mood lately now that it was sure that prey would be running great. The relief knowing her kits wouldn't starve made all the agony she felt a little better. She purred lightly as Rosekit used her tail to hide from his sisters.
Puddlepaw stretched out his sore muscles, having woken up from a particularly brutal training session with his grandmother. Lotusbloom sure could pack a pawswipe in the sludgy rivers of the Dark Forest. Feeling invigorated though, he stood up proudly. Surely, Nightflame would take him out again today, and they could likely get Earthstar to remove his punishment once he saw how well he was doing.

He has white-tipped toes and short claws. He also has a lean but rather muscualr frame. Hazelsong is a popular, outgoing tom with a love for swimming. He's currently open for every kind of relationship, and he wants to begin a family of his own. He loves meeting new cats, and is a very social cat! Hazelsong was unfortunately born to a Riverclan father, but a rogue mother. His father pushed he and his littermate, Wrenkit, who drowned as a kit, away from his rogue mother, trying to get him to have a normal life as a Riverclan cat. He was always looked down upon for his rogue origin, but he has a true Riverclan bloodline through his father, Adderhiss. He wants nothing more than to forget his Father's forbidden romance. (Nettle )
Spiderweb- Spiderweb is a sleek but soft-pelted and young she-cat with a jet black and snow white coat. She has folded ears and bright yellow/amber eyes, with a sharp glare. She has a long and fluffy tail which allows her to propel herself through the water with ease. She also has sharp fangs, which allow her to bite through fish scales easily as well. Spiderweb is a outgoing, loyal, confident and leading she-cat who is loyal to her clan. Spiderweb is also a very welcoming cat who is open to speak to anyone. She is very sweet and sympathetic. But because of this, at times she can be a bit too much and be a little to annoying some cats. Spiderweb was born inside of Riverclan. When she was just a young kit, she was already learning much and running around the nursery happily. When a apprentice, Spiderweb was always enthusiastic and ready to serve her clan at all costs. A kind she-cat she was, who was also friendly and protective of the cats around her, as she cared for them dearly. A newly appointed warrior, she always volunteers for any kind of patrol, and is happy to watch kits, apprentices, etc for anyone. She is well liked by her clan because of how responsible and respectful she is. («-•spiderweb•-» )
Briarsong- Tortoiseshell and silver she-cat with pale blue eyes, think of the sky when it's halfway between blue and gray. Rather jumpy, but very sweet and cheerful. She is pretty clueless and playful, and any romantic moves are likely to go right over her head. She's very clumsy and might or might not end up in the medicine den at any time. Was born a kittypet, but after her housefolk abandoned her, she wandered into the forest at six moons old. She loves water and a Riverclan warrior saw her swimming and took her to the clan, where she grew incredibly enchanted with the idea of clan life and begged to join. (spiritwarriors )
Dappleshine- She is a light grey she cat with dark grey spots. She is kind quiet and beautiful and wants to be the best warrior for her clan but also wants kits of her own. She is quite popular with her clanmates but she secretly has a crush on salmonsplash. (aquatail )
Littlepaw- Small and lean black tom with one white paw one his left forepaw, white chin, and tail tip. The rest of his paws have white toes along with a small splash on his chest of the same color. His fur is short and sleek and has pale blue eyes. Littlepaw is a slightly nervous young cat. At times he over thinks and worries about others judging him for his cautious nature. Not one for battles, his passion lies more with hunting and fishing. Despite his hesitation to fight, he his still loyal to his clan and will protect his home with all his might. He is a kind and gentle tom, eager to please and a good friend to have. A former kittypet abandoned by his twolegs who could no longer care for him. (Junospower )
Silverpaw- She-cat, silver tabby fur, has some kitten fluff, grey stripes, blue eyes. Gets excited easily, always seems to have something on her mind, doesn't concentrate. Older sister is Lilystream. (MistShadow )
Bronzepaw- A golden brown tabby with golden amber eyes, she has long fur that water easily rolls off. She seems to keep to herself for the most part but she has an enthusiasm and a natural loyalty to her clan, she just enjoys the peace and quiet. Unlike most RiverClan cats she isn't the biggest fan of the water and tends to stay away from it unless necessary. She is filled with the natural curiosity that follows almost all apprentices. She was found in the territory as a young kit and was raised in the clan and never once felt a curiosity of where she had come from. Despite not being clan born she was too young to really know any different and that helped her to feel welcome in the clan and fit right in. (cloverhandread )
Snailkit- Snailkit, an elegant golden shekit with a pale gold belly, legs, ears and tail, along with a pale splotch on her spine. Her eyes are a rosy light amber, and her nose is orange-brown. Her ears are curled at the tips and her tail is exceptionally fluffy. Snailkit has an interesting personality, being quite smart for her age. She remembers useless things in detail, but not important things. She is willing to do whatever it takes to prove herself and to make things right. Her voice is squeaky and high-pitched. She was found unconscious under the bridge, and smelt of twolegs. Her relatives are unknown. (WanderingWeevil~ )
Hazelkit- Dark brown tabby with an orange face and white mittens. she has green-gray eyes. She was always a feisty kit. Getting into trouble and play fighting other cats. Hazelkit's only desire is to become a great apprentice and warrior. She is energetic, positive, confident, and ambitious. She tries to display her skills every chance she gets. Whether that's catching bugs or play fighting with other kits. Unfortunately, being a kit, sometimes this leads her to making a fool of herself. But she shakes it off and doesn't let it get to her. Hazelkit is also friendly and talkative. She loves to talk to new cats. She doesn't always like being told what to do, so she can be snarky sometimes. Clan-born. She got a fracture in one of her hind legs a moon ago, when she was hunting an unsuspecting warrior's tail. So the fracture still bothers her. (Jaggedbreeze )
Streamkit- A white long furred she kit with blue eyes resembling streams during new leaf, she has gray at the tip of her chest and tail, she has spots all along her body and on her tail that look like small bubbles, she has gray socks and muscular front and hind legs, she has a love for swimming and play fighting, she can be shy at times but very Cunning and loyal, she has a sharp tongue and she is very swift due to her front and hind legs, her parents are Ottermask and Smogstream of RiverClan. (✧˚ · . ~ Astra`Rise ~ . · ˚✧ )
Sagesight- A she-cat, golden-furred with green eyes with light pink pads, crippled hind leg. Loves to gossip, extrovert, enjoys sunning herself. Mate is Leopardtail, kits are Stormclaw and Dusklight, she crippled one of her hind legs when she ran onto a thunderpath and a monster drove over her leg, she joined the elders after that. (MistShadow )

Rosemist's cream-colored paws paddled in the water as she swam towards the shore. She reveled in the weightlessness of being in the water, felt the coolness of it lap at her pelt. Her jaws were clamped around an exceptionally large fish, and she couldn't wait to bring her prize back to camp. As her paws scraped dirt, she felt the warm glow of satisfaction for catching such a fish, chasing away the coolness of the clinging water. She shook herself, spraying droplets over the reeds, and began trotting lightly back towards camp, her peach-and-gray fur clumping together as it dried.
