Featherspark forced her expression to remain carefully neutral, though the twitch of her whiskers and the triumphant gleam in her eyes did little to contribute to the success of her performance. "Certain others, hmm...?" She mused, tilting her head thoughtfully. "Who might that be? Duskstorm, Blizzardsky, have you two noticed any 'certain others' who might be worthy of attention?" She asked, leaning forward to grin conspiratorially at her companions.
Firestrike huffed a laugh. "Sounds like fun! That's practically what I do for Featherspark now," he admitted. Though he kept his demeanor lighthearted, the knot in his chest loosened slightly at Moonshadow's words. "Helping out, I mean—when I can. At least since Dustleap..." He let his voice trail off at the mention of his sister's lost mate and drew his gaze determinedly back to the kits just as Goldenkit barreled into him. "Careful!" He purred, his voice immediately softening as he gently steadied the she-kit with a paw. "You're strong!"
"Okay, okay," Fishkit replied with a good-natured laugh, going limp beneath Mistkit's paws. His eyes gleamed as he prepared to launch himself back up, searching for the perfect moment to hopefully catch Mistkit off-guard. "I'm caught! I surrender!"

Moonshadow gently nuzzled his shoulder when he became sad for a moment. "You know... You can let yourself be sad sometimes." She meowed softly. Her gaze was then distracted by her kit bumping into him.
Goldenkit looked up at Firestrike and purred when he called her strong. "Thanks Firestrike!" She squeaked, jumping on his pelt and clinging on, trying to climb up him.
Mistkit giggled in victory and loosened her attack on him. "I won!"

"Probably not." Mistyfur said, flicking her tail nonchalantly.

Duskstorm laughed at the conversation, before adding, "Don't look at me! I sleep all day!" she laughs. "That's probably the only thing I do besides eat and go out on the occasional partrol." Duskstorm replies.

Featherspark laughed and gazed expectantly at Mistyfur.
Firestrike chuckled, stifling a good-natured wince as Goldenkit’s tiny claws connected with his shoulder. “I’m under attack!” He wailed with as much dramaticism as he could muster, even as he subtly leaned forward to give her a better angle.
“Never!” Fishkit yowled, squirming a bit to shift his weight to a better position before kicking out wildly with his hind paws and launching himself at Mistkit. Though he intended to tackle the she-kit smoothly, he let out a yelp of surprise as his paws caught beneath him and he tumbled toward her in a tangle of limbs.

Moonshadow purred softly as she watched Firestrike give Goldenkit an easier angle to climb. This just made her like him more because of how good he was with her kits already.
Goldenkit giggles and crawled higher until she reached his head. The little she-kit purred and batted lightly at his ears. “I’ll defeat you! You big badger!"
(Totally loving the Fishkit and Mistkit dynamic tbh)
Mistkit yelped when she was kicked off of him and again as she fell into a tangle of limbs with him. By the time they were both tangled on the ground, she was laughing.

"Whether a cat has or hasn't isn't important. I'm more curious about whether I have caught a certain cats attention." Mistyfur said, trying to sound aloof.

(Have fun, Cloud!)
Featherspark whipped her head around as she processed Mistyfur's words, her eyes sharpening with playful interest. "And who might that be?"
"No one can defeat me!" Firestrike growled, dipping his head and bucking a bit as if to throw Goldenkit off, though he was careful to keep his movements as gentle as he could—not an easy task for a rather large and occasionally clumsy warrior. He cast an embarassed glance at Moonshadow, acutely aware of how silly he must look.
(Lol me too x3 They're so cute!!)
"Hey!" Fishkit whined, feigning an air of offense that was softened by the laughter bubbling behind his words. "That was supposed to be really cool! You should have seen the apprentices do it! I just didn't think it would be so complicated..." He added with a sheepish grin.

Goldenkit giggled, clinging on as much as she could. When he stopped moving she batted again at his ears. "You're too weak for me!" She squeaked.
Moonshadow purred softly, he may have looked silly but he was making Goldenkit so happy. She had to physically stop herself from.nuzzling him because of what he was doing.
Mistkit looked at their tangle of paws, "I wonder how the apprentices do it? I've never seen it before."

"Okay, okay. Enough with this going back and forth." She laughed, jokingly, rolling her eyes. "You two have said "Who is it?" and then "I don't know, who?" like five times already." Duskstorm says, realizing that they were probably doing that on purpose as a joke. "Ah, actually," she pauses, "go on with your business."

“Okay, okay, I give in!” Firestrike conceded, grinning at Goldenkit atop his back. He let his paws go limp beneath him, dropping suddenly—though carefully—to the ground and collapsing in a pile. “No badger can stand up to you, the great Goldenstar!”
Fishkit narrowed his eyes in concentration, trying to call back the image of his clanmates’ practice. “I can’t remember. I was just watching, and they all seemed to know how to do it already.” He settled back with a shrug, doing his best to begin collecting his paws again, his ears still burning every time he glanced at Mistkit. “I wish we could just ask them, but I could never,” he admitted shyly.
Featherspark smirked good-naturedly at Duskstorm. “You’re right. If someone would just give us an answer...” Still, she made a mental note to back off if Mistyfur refused to share again. It was her business, after all, and Featherspark did have a habit of being nosy.

Mistyfur looked around to make sure that no one else was listening, then whispered just loud enough for the three she-cats around her to hear. "If you promise you won't tell anyone else I'll tell you."

Goldenkit sat perched atop his head proudly, "I am the mighty Goldenstar." She squeaked out. She finally slid down his back and ran around front to look up at him, "I could see everything from on top of your head!"
Moonshadow glanced away, realizing she was staring at Firestrike. She knew that it was dangerous for her to fall for him. She'd known that he once loved another and lost her, something like that wouldn't make it easy for him to love someone else so easily.
Mistkit shrugged, "I'll do it!" She mewed, looking around for an apprentice to ask. "Maybe an apprentice can teach us how to do it." She suggested.
(Do I see a romance blooming between Fish and Mist? Is Fish interested in her? Is Tiger (me) gonna possibly mess it up by having Mist friendzone Fish as apprentices and beyond? Maybe make it harder for Fish and Mist to be a thing. But maybe Fish will break through and Mist will fall for him.)

Featherspark's blue eyes shot wide, and she leaned closer. "I swear!" She purred, forcing back the eager laugh threatening to creep into her voice.
"Could you, now?" Firestrike replied, gratefully taking the opportunity to rise back to his paws as Goldenkit scampered away. He swept his tail across his back as best he could to dispel the dust that had settled in his ginger fur. "Someday, you'll be big enough to see like that all by yourself," he promised with a conspiratorial wink. "Trust me; I know these things."
(Ooh, it seems that poor Fishkit has a long road ahead of him x3 Because he's definitely falling for her!) Fishkit smiled shyly, his eyes sparking with hope at the chance to assuage his curiosity. "That would be awesome!" He purred gratefully. It never ceased to amaze him that other cats could simply go up to their older clanmates—or any clanmates at all, really—without worrying; it seemed like a superpower. "Th- there are a couple over there," he added hastily, blinking to clear his head and flicking his tail toward the apprentices' den.
(Does anyone have an apprentice open and want to teach the kits some battle moves? Otherwise, I'm happy to use Jadepaw :3)

"really?" Goldenkit squeaked. "Will I be as big as you some day?" She asked with wonder filled eyes.
Mistkit noticed the apprentices too, "let's go!" She mewed, leading the way as she started towards them excitedly.
(OMG THIS IS SO EXCITING!)

(Jade, Bumble has been open for so he has nothing left to hide xD)
Mistyfur leaned closer so that only Featherspark could hear her. "Sootstripe." Was all she said. It honestly felt like she didn't need to say more.

(Bramble--lol xD Do you want to use him, then?)
Fishkit nodded, shoving down the nerves bubbling in his stomach, and trotted after Mistkit.
"Well, that's a lofty goal," Firestrike replied with a prideful lift of his head, his eyes sparkling warmly. "Not many cats get the honor of being as big and strong as the great Firestrike. Still," he amended, making a show of scrutinizing Goldenkit thoughtfully. "I think you can do it. You've already got the strength to take down a badger, after all!"
"Soot—" Featherspark started to echo before she hastily clamped her jaws shut, not wanting to accidentally spread the word. She glanced around eagerly, searching for the gray-and-black tom. "Oh, you two would be perfect!" She purred. "And I can't say I'm particularly surprised; he trots after you everywhere you go!"

Mistkit padded up to Bumblepaw with an excited squeak, "hey Bumblepaw I! Can you show us that move that Fishkit's been seeing the apprentices do? The one when you knock the cat off of you and then pin them down?" She sounded extremely eager to learn.
Goldenkit jumped in front of him. "I can do it!" She mewed. "I'll be big and strong, just like you some day!" The little golden she-kit seemed sure that she could.
(How cute would it be if Firestrike ended up mentoring her?)

Bumblepaw nearly jumped out of his skin with shock. "Huh, what was that. Sorry, my mind was elsewhere." He said. Elsewhere. As in Cloudpaw.
Mistyfur flushed under her fur. "Hey, he doesn't follow me everywhere. B-Besides, he probably doesn't think of me as anything more than just a good friend." She finished, putting her ears back and sliding her eyes off to the side in embarrassment.

Duskstorm laughs at Mistyfur's comment. "He's just a good friend??? Are you trying to push him away? Everyone can tell that he's basically in love with you." she says just quiet enough for only them to hear her.

Mistyfur flushed even more and lashed her tail with embarrassment. "W-w-what makes you say that?" She asked, silently cursing her stuttering.

“You can just see it!” Featherspark assured Mistyfur, flicking the she-cat fondly with her tail. “Duskstorm is right! Don’t tell me you honestly don’t notice!”
(tigerlily—Ahh that would be so cute!) “That’s the spirit!” Firestrike purred, leaning down so that he could look directly at the eager she-kit and grinning at her. “But you’ll have to work very hard and get an early start. What battle moves do you know so far?” He prompted.

Mistyfur slowly shifted her paws and dropped her gaze to the ground. As if that wasn't enough of an answer, she replied to Featherspark's comment with "N-no. I never noticed."

Featherspark paused, her eyes softening apologetically, and rested her tail comfortingly on Mistyfur’s shoulder. “It can be hard to see when you’re so close to it,” she murmured. “Starclan knows I took long enough to realize with Dustleap...” Despite herself, she chuckled slightly, her heart warming with the memory. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if Sootstripe is just waiting for a way to tell you right now.”

"Are you sure about that?" Mistyfur asked hesitantly. "Still, why me? I'm sure there are pleanty of better cats than me in the clan." She continued, letting self doubt creep in. "Besides, when it comes to you and Dustleap, its like you two were made for each other. It just seems natural for the two of you."

"Trust me: it didn't feel that way at first," Featherspark replied, closing her eyes for a moment as the bittersweet ache of missing of her mate rushed over her, then chuckling as fond memories settled in its place. "It took me moons to figure out that when he dragged me out on patrols and made a fool of himself trying to learn to swim, he was trying to tell me that he was interested. Why he didn't just ask me straight-out...but we all know that toms are ridiculous!" She wrinkled her nose playfully before letting her tone soften to a more serious note. "You two are made for each other, too. Don't sell yourself short, mousebrain; this clan would fall apart without you, and Sootstripe is smart enough to see it."
