(Okay!)
Nestled in the warriors' den, Soostripe awoke to the gray light of early morning trickling through the grassy roof. "Mmf," he groaned to no one in particular, flopping onto his side before finally mustering the willpower to lift himself to his paws. Despite the lingering tendrils of tiredness dragging his muscles, however, he slipped from the den and out into the main clearing. Someone has to be on the dawn patrol, and if I'm awake anyway... Ever-optimistic, he shucked away the worst of his sleepiness and glanced around camp, curious which of his clanmates were up at this hour.
By some miracle, Firestrike woke at dawn, all traces of tiredness vanishing from his body as the events of the day before filtered back into his sleep-muddled mind. Snapping to attention, he hastily shook the moss from his ginger pelt and did his best to navigate the path to the den's entrance without stepping on any of his clanmates' tails. He paused just outside the entrance to the nursery, nervousness roiling in his belly—but only at the thought of accidentally waking the kits and queens, of course.

(haha keep telling yourself that Firestrike)
Goldenkit watched the entrance to the den with an excited gaze. She couldn't wait for Firestrike to come visit. She didn't even notice her still sleeping mother. The little she-kit saw a figure at the den entrance and rose to her paws, hoping it was the warrior that promised to visit.

(Ah, I totally forgot my plans for Leafpelt! I need help with this. Should I have Leafpelt find a kit and adopt it as her own, or shall I, to add a bit of drama, have her actually be pregnant and have kits of her own? This currently doesn't affect this patrol, I just want opinions. ) Leafpelt stretched and yawned. A patch of soft morning sunshine fell on her, highlighting her bright green eyes so they looked like morning dew on a green leaf. She stood and looked around the camp, catching Sootstripe, she padded over to him. "Morning, Sootstripe. What are you doing awake at this hour?"

( Cloud we're going to find a kit in the forest on this patrol, so if it's okay with Jade, you could adopt that one?) Duskstorm awoke slowly, blinking her eyes at the light peeking through the warriors den from Leafpelt leaving. She squints as she stretches, getting up to her paws, and walking out of the den. Duskstorm sees Leafpelt walk over to Sootstripe, and she follows in suit, seeing how no one else is awake.

Mistyfur padded back into camp from one of her typical nocturnal strolls around the territory. Noticing the crowd starting to grow around Sootstripe, she padded over, leaping upon the excuse to be around him. "Good morning." She meowed so quietly that more than likely no one heard.

(It’s up to you guys, but it’s totally fine with me!)
Firestrike squinted into the dimly-lit den, searching for any sign of Moonshadow or Goldenkit. A moment later, he let out a hushed purr of greeting as his eyes picked out a small figure among the shadows. “Hello, Goldenkit,” he whispered, grinning amiably. “Ready to train?”
Sootstripe’s ear twitched at the sound of a voice, and a wide, almost goofy smile began to spread across his face as he turned and identified Mistyfur among the approaching clanmates. Noticing his mistake, he hastily schooled his face back to his best attempt at nonchalance and waved his tail in greeting. “Hey!” He purred to the small crowd. “You’re all up early!”

Goldenkit nodded eagerly and tumbled out of the nursery, "Absolutely!" She giggled with an excited purr.

Mistyfur purred slightly at the grin that Sootstripe was so hasty to hide. She tried to nonchalantly slide closer to him in a way that wouldn't make anyone else suspicious. "The same goes for you." She said once she was closer.

(Dovesong is open, Here is a starter) Dovesong pounce lightly on her paws with delight, and walked to fresh-kill pile, taking the dove that lay on the top "anyone want to share" she scout but her voice sound like a normal cat voice.

Firestrike let out a rumbling purr. He glanced around for Moonshadow, but the queen was nowhere in sight. “All right, then. What should we start with—hunting or battle moves?”
Sootstripe felt his ears grow warm as Mistyfur approached. “Yeah, the sun was shining right in my eyes this morning. It just had to go and ruin my sleep!” He joked, though his voice was slightly strained.

"Blaming the sun huh?" Mistyfur purred, stopping her casual advance a safe distance from him. She was honestly just happy to be closer to him, but she wasn't about to show that to everyone. "Can't say thats ever happened to me though."

(Great!)
"I've never understood early risers," Sootstripe grumbled, feigning disgust, though his yellow-green eyes sparkled with humor. "I'm not goingto lie, it's impressive, I just don't understand why you would want to be awake when you could just—" He paused and stretched his jaws wide in a yawn, chuckling—"keep sleeping."

Mistyfur smiled and flicked her tail at Sootstripe. "Well some of us don't sleep like a rock." She teased him.

A smirk spread across Sootstripe's face at Mistyfur's comment. "Wow, someone's cheerful in the morning! I—" he began before the sound of Dovesong's voice pulled his attention away. "Hello!" He purred, waving his tail cheerily at the she-cat.

Mistyfur nodded towards Dovesong as she approached.

Duskstorm looked around at the warriors all talking and having fun. Just then, she saw Dovesong jumping around out of the corner of her eye. She laughed to herself, admiring all of her friends, and waiting to leave for the morning patrol.

"Battle moves!" Goldenkit squeaked excitedly. She saw him looking around and giggled. "If you're looking for my momma, she's still sleeping."

(No worries, Bramble! See you then!)
(Sootstripe is just going to hang out for the moment until Hope gets back on x3)
Firestrike’s eyes widened slightly at Goldenkit’s words, and he felt his ears grow hot beneath his ginger fur. “Oh, uh- that’s what I assumed,” he stammered before hastily reining in his scattered focus as best he could. “All right, uh—let’s try a new move. You have to start in the battle crouch I showed you, though. Do you remember it?” A wave of calm settled over the tom as he stepped back into the role of mentor. Thank Starclan, he thought to himself.

Goldenkit nodded and dropped into the crouch, wiggling her haunches a bit excitedly. "Like this Firestrike?" She asked, looking up at the warrior.

“Good job!” Firestrike purred. “That’s even better than yesterday’s! Now, I want you to try the swipe that we practiced—but curve around and aim for my side this time. The point is to make your opponent think that they dodged you, and then you catch them off-guard. It takes a lot of balance, though,” he added gravely. “Do you think you can do it?”

Post by Tigerlily on Jul 11, 2018 8:11:32 GMT -5
Goldenkit hesitated a little but prepared her balance and nodded determinedly, "I can do it." She mewed, getting ready and then doing as she was told. The little golden she-kit lost her balance a little but didn't stumble this time as she quickly regained her balance afterwards.
By this time, Moonshadow had awoken and sat just outside the nursery, watching Firestrike and Goldenkit interacting.

Firestrike scrutinized Goldenkit's form intently, not even noticing Moonshadow's approach beyond the object of his focus. "Good job!" He barked when Goldenkit had finished. "You stayed pretty steady. It'll take some practice to be able to attack fully without losing your balancel, but that will come with time if you practice every day. How did it feel to you?" He asked.

"it felt really weird." Goldenkit mewed. "I felt like I should fall..." She looked at her paws and shook her head, then looked back up past Firestrike and saw her mother. She said nothing, but her expression showed that she'd seen someone.

Firestrike opened his mouth to reply but paused when he noticed Goldenkit's change of expression. "What's—" he murmured, tracing the line of her gaze and finally catching sight of Moonshadow. His eyes widened with involuntary surprise, and he immediately set about wrestling his voice into a casual tone. "Oh, good morning," he called, inclining his head to the she-cat, and smiled. "I'm just fulfilling my promise to Goldenkit."

Moonshadow purred and approached, "and I expect that Goldenkit is very grateful for that." She murmured. "How are you Firestrike." The young queen meowed, her gentle gaze meeting his.
Goldenkit held back a giggle as she scampered away a distance while her mother and Firestrike were distracted talking to each other.
