"That's true," Fawnpaw replied thoughtfully. A solemn crease formed on her brow as she considered the issue; she'd never really taken the time to consider the fact that Bramblepath had only ever seen a winter or two more than she had. "He does seem old! How is it that he seems to know so much more aboutโwell, everythingโthan the rest of us do?" She wondered out loud.

(Owlspots: Don't worry about it . As Jade has already told you, nothing significant has happened. And I know from personal experience that sometimes it's difficult to keep up with every thread your on. I also have the medicine cat, and a rogue open if you want to rp.) Mistyfur sat down and got comfortable at the edge of the stream. She carefully lifted a paw, making sure that her shadow wouldn't fall on the water by doing so. Then she waited for the telltale flash of silver. Nightheart smiled, not entirely sure how to answer Fawnpaw. "I don't know. I guess it comes with speaking to Starclan," he said, flicking his tail in the general direction of the medicine cat's den. "Even if he himself is not naturally wise, I'm sure they share enough wisdom with him to outmatch even the oldest in our clan. They are Starclan afterall.

Moonwing sat slightly behind her and whispered."Can you swim?"

โThatโs true...โ Fawnpaw mused. She raised her eyes to the roof of the den as if she could see straight through the stars not-yet-twinkling in the sky above. โI think Iโd like to meet Starclan,โ she decided. โI never have. Let me know if you figure out how to get them to visit me,โ she added with a laugh.

Mistyfur eyed Moonwing cautiously. "I can swim, but if I'm going in you're certainly going in with me," she said, grinning at the other cat.
Nightheart watched as Fawnpaw looked up at the sky. Despite what he thought he was prepared for, her comment caught him off guard and he was laughing before he could stop himself. When he finally got it under control, he he tapped her with his tail and said "I think that anything short of becoming a medicine cat yourself wouldn't work to convince Starclan to meet with you. Sorry to burst your bubble."

Fawnpaw wrinkled her nose and bared her teeth in mock-frustration. Still, the persistent glimmer in her eyes was enough to give away her act. "Hey, Starclan has talked to non-medicine cats before!" She protested gently. "At least, I think they have. Honestly, I'm surprised that you've never spoken to them, what with all of your moons of 'wisdom and adventure.'" Though her tone was teasing, genuine admiration lay beneath it. Fawnpaw couldn't imagine anything better than Nightheart's life of adventureโan undoubtedly simplistic view of the situation, but one that she couldn't help but cherish all the same.

"I don't doubt they have. I just doubt that they've talked to an apprentice just because she wanted to talk to them. Although at the same time, I'm sure Starclan has a sense of humor, so they might very well have spoken to an apprentice just for the heck of it. Who knows?" Nightheart said, before pausing to consider her second statement. "As for them speaking to me, I'm sure they will when they need someone to stop Bramblepath from working himself to death. Other than that, they probably can wait for my stories until I join them."

``Really then?``She purred. She looked around for a tree and when she spotted a medium sized oak. She jumped onto its trunk and dug in her front claws. She stalked up to the tree hoping to make Mistyfur think she left.

"Well, more stories for me, then," Fawnpaw teased, playfully twitching the tip of her tail and sending a few clumps of moss skittering across the den's floor. "Did you always know that Bramblepath would be a medicine cat? Or did you want him to be a warrior?" After a moment, she let her head tilt to the side and fixed her gaze loosely on the corner of the den. "Sometimes I wonder whetherโwith three kitsโmy mother wanted one of us to take that path, too," she admitted quietly.

Mistyfur twitched her ear behind her. Moonwing hadn't exactly been stealthy when jumping onto the tree, and Mistyfur was more observant than some. However, she decided that there was no harm in letting what happens happen.
Nightheart nodded. "I didn't want him to be anything. No, I didn't know that he would become a medicine cat, but at the same time I didn't specifically want him to be a warrior... I thought he was going to be one though. I regret to say that if his mother hadn't died when she had, I bet he would have ended up like me. Probably for the best he decided to be a medicine cat, albeit for slightly depressing reasons," he said. He then allowed himself to think back to Fawnpaw's mother. From what he could remember of her, she hadn't seemed like the kind of cat to have a plan set out for her kits. For that reason, he decided to say, "And I think your mother would have been the same way I was. She would have supported you regardless of your choice, and wouldn't want you to be anything that you didn't want to be."

Fawnpaw smiled gently. "I think so, too," she admitted. She blinked hastily, fighting the bittersweet prickle that sprung up at the corners of her eyes. (Because cats can totally cry cx) "Or, at least, I hope so. She's always known that I wanted to be a warrior; I've been chattering on about it or just about as long as I can speak. She coudn't wait to see my apprentice ceremony," she added, her accompanying laugh coming out as more of a cough than anything else. After a momnt, she dipped her head and added softly, "Does thinking about the ones you've lost ever get easy?"
(Just a warning, I probably won't be on tomorrow because I'll be with my crew team at a regatta all day :3)

Moonwing realized how loud she had been and jumped down with a loud meow onto Mistyfur trying to push her in the river.

(Dawn Rising: Don't worry about it ) Mistyfur didn't fight the pressure of Moonwing landing on her back. Instead, she rolled with it and, as she had said earlier, sent both of them flying into the stream. As she landed, she saw a flicker of silver and slashed a fish out of the water almost instinctively. Nightheart gently shook his head. "No. Not really. It will always be hard. Eventually, you just learn how to continue on in spite of it. It's easier if instead of focusing on the fact that their gone, you tell their stories so that they are remembered," he meowed softly. He tapped Fawnpaw's nose with his tail. "With that being said, I'm sure you have a story or two that are at least as good as the ones I've been telling."

Moonwing yowled in surprise and jumped out of the stream. She shook her fur and turned on MistyFur a playful glint in her eyes. (May I change Moonwingโs name to SilverโWind?))

(Wow, that's awesome, Dawn! Congratulations!)
(@lunis: Yeah, sure! I'll go change it on the front page)
Fawnpaw smiled gratefully at Nightheart's attempts to cheer her up. His words felt comforting, even if they didn't promise any reprise from the ache of loneliness that burrowed through her chest at every mention of her mother. If Nightheart could learn to continue on, then she could find a way to do it, tooโsomeday. "You want me to tell a story?" Fawnpaw replied with an impish smile. "I could never out-do all of your moons of adventure. Still, there was the one time that Bumblepaw and I got a little bit too excited about a game of hide-and-seek when we were still kits..." She shook her head, chuckling. "The queens nearly had my tailโafter they finally managed to find me, that is."

Mistyfur flashed past Silverwind (she is called that now, right?) to kill off the fish. She then calmly turned, more or less expecting another play attack.
Nightheart grinned. "You see, I was always far to serious, even as a kit. As such, I don't have those kinds of stories. Lets hear it. It sounds interesting," he said, settling down to listen to Fawnpaw's story.
(Sorry for short replies, I'm really tired right now.)

Yeah)) SilverโWind, instead of launching a play attack flicked her ear in the direction of a blue jay. Perched on a broken branch on the forest floor. She crouched and took a step towards it.

(No worries, Bramble! Trust meโI know what you mean ) "Well..." Fawnpaw replied, straightening up in her nest, "In my defense, it was the first really nice day after leafbareโand the first time that I saw the piles of snow finally start to melt." She chuckled to herself, remembering her first taste of the thrill of warm pelts and muddy paws that could only mean spring. "Bumblepaw and Iโwell, mostly Iโdecided to wander a little bit further in our game of hide-and-seek. Bumblepaw wasn't the biggest fan," she teased. "He thought we would get in troubleโbut when I strode right out of camp, he said he had to come along to 'make sure I didn't wander straight into a badger's den'."

(Applescent: I have an apprentice, a rogue, and the medicine cat open right now.)
Nightheart grinned. "Of course he would. He's a responsible cat, isn't he. Besides, I'm sure that it seemed like an amazing idea at the time," he said, allowing humor to creep into his voice. It might not be unusual for kits to sneak out of camp, but the stories never cease to bring a sense of amusment with them. Some cats might complain about it being "the same old story", but Nightheart had lived long enough to know that that isn't exactly the case.
Mistyfur flicked her tail in acknowledgement and turned back toward the stream. She perched herself on the edge of the bank again and waited for the telltale flash of silver.

She took 3 more cautious steps and launched herself at the bird, she aimed for the space between the sky and itโs head. She sunk her teeth in itโs soft flesh, killing it. She looked at the feathers scattered on the ground and picked two up, having a sudden idea, she wore them between then fur on her ear and turn to MistyโFur.``Like it?``

(Welcome, Applescent! ^-^)
"Oh, it did," Fawnpaw laughed. Her whiskers twitched as she triedโwith very little successโto garner up a serious expression. "And, just in case you were wonderng, I didn't try to hide in a single badger's den. Everything would have been fine if we hadn't come across one of our border patrols. Bumblepaw just stood there like a mousebrain, but I jumped straight into the nearest pile of snow and burrowed in...it was the coldest that Iโve ever been in my life,โ she snickered.

((I am back! ;w; ))
Bumblepaw let a wry grin creep onto his face as he answered Blizzardpaw's question. "I was going out to help the medicine cat with my sister. Then she hurt her paw, so we had to come back here. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't find it amusing if she hurt herself, but leave it to her to injure herself while we're out with the medicine cat. It's kind of ironic."
-
Hollowpaw scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Oh brother!" he mewed, stiffing a laugh. Blizzardpaw nudged his brother. "At least she was with the best cat to hurt herself around. Easy care, right?" he offered. Blizzardpaw was a little relieved the she-cat wasn't alone when it happened, at the very least. "How did she hurt her paw?" he asked. Honeykit licked her whiskers and looked up calmly, now noticing Bumplepaw's presence.
-----
Featherspark felt a soft smile settle over her face. โYouโre right! I remember when your kits were born; I had hardly even met Dustleap yet, and now here I am.โ Something in her chest gave a gentle tug at the thought of her lost mate, and she shook her head. โItโs amazing how quickly things changeโfor all of us.โ Shaking off the wistfulness that had begun to settle over her, the silver she-cat garnered up a brighter tone. โWell, if nothing else, I guess it will be nice to find myself in the warriorsโ den again. Howโs the transition back for you?โ
-
Lilyshower laughed softly. "I will admit, it's been quite a change," the she-cat said, looking back to the queen. "One day I'm caring for my kits, the next I'm back on patrols and hunting duties." Lilyshower had certainly long to be out in the forest, of course. But curling up in the nursery with her soft bundles of fur by her side... There was nothing she wouldn't miss. "It took a few days for it to just sink in," Lilyshower mewed after a moments silence. "I sure did miss being brought my meals!" she added, jokingly.

(Applescent, the rogue option sounds good. Do you want to start?)
Mistyfur chuckled a bit at the sight of her clanmate with feathers in her fur. "Well, surprisingly it doesn't look horrible. I will admit that I never thought to see feathers used that way. But hey, maybe other cats will pick it up to. Who knows."
"Are you sure that you were the smart one? Maybe Bumblepaw realized ahead of time that it would freeze his whiskers off if he jumped into the snowpile," Nightheart teased Fawnpaw, flicking her nose with his tail. He paused for a moment to let himself imagine the two apprentices when they were kits hiding in a pile of snow. His whiskers twitched with amusment at the thought.
Bumblepaw paused to take in the comments from all of the other cats. He decided to answer Blizzardpaw's comment first. "You're right. If she was destined to get hurt, she had the right cat near her. I guess that is what makes it amusing. As for how she hurt her paw," he said, starting on to Honeykit's comment. "She decided to try and cheat on a race with me, and in her rush she managed to step in the only hole within sight."

(Bramble: Yeah i'll start )
Coldbreeze traveled up one of the smaller hills outside of camp, noting some of melting piles of snow as he walked by them. The black and white fur of his paws stuck to the ground in certain spots due to the melting snow making the ground softer than usual. He parted his jaw and began tasting the air, checking the area for any foreign scents in the territory. His yellow eyes scanning the surrounding area while his paws led him forward. Part of him hoped he'd find an outsider, been too long since he got into a fight with some rogue or loner. Just the thought of it made his claws twitch from being sheathed to unsheathed.
