"I can't wait either." Frogleap smiled softly and laid down next to her. "It's not the same without you."
Kinkfire chuckled along with him. "As long as you remind me as well."

"Well maybe you can take this time to be Houndthroat's friend." She teased him. "You get along so well after all."

Frogleap rolled his eyes, but his lip curled in amusement. "Houndthroat be my friend? I think Frogs would fly by then."

"I wouldn't dare harm clanmate!" Ashrock lashed his tail, glaring down at Honeypaw. "All I did was give Cedarstorm a few harmless doses of poppy seeds! What? You think I'd suddenly start stuffing deathberries into prey? I wouldn't kill my own brother! I'm not Adderstar!" He looked firmly at Goldberry. "And I'm not responsible for the rogues that attacked Coalpaw. I thought he was doing his chores, not sneaking out of camp! I may have neglected his training, but I caused him no harm! How do we know that even if I had continued to work with him that the results of the fight would change? We don't know how many or how strong those rogues are! I can still be his mentor!" "SILENCE!" Northstar shouted above the arguing, usually not one to raise her voice. She lashed her tail, narrow eyes looking to each cat in the den. "Honeypaw, you will learn to control that wild anger of yours. I know you're upset about your brother, but blindly lashing out at cats does only harm and no good! Ashrock, as his mentor, Coalpaw is your responsibility. I will take the time to determine whether or not you're still fit to be his mentor, but first, you need to begin your punishment. Go find Snowdance and ask her what you can do to help her." The gray warrior opened his mouth to protest, his eyes glancing briefly at Coalpaw. Yet, with a sigh in his throat and his ears fallen back, he turned and left the den. Northstar turned to Goldberry. "Be with your sons. What's done is done." “He doesn’t care about Coalpaw.” Honeypaw rasped coldly, his eyes piercing past Northstar to look to where Ashrock had left. He then looked at Northstar not daring to argue with her, but refusing to show any kind of forgiveness or care for the grey tom. ‘I hate him.’ He thought to himself, burning and hollow. Goldberry looked at Northstar, assuring desperately. “Honeypaw doesn’t mean what he’s saying. He’ll calm down. We just...we need time, please.” He begged his leader, ushering Honeypaw back towards Coalpaw. Honeypaw turned sharply away from Northstar, and Goldberry mewed. “We can handle it.” Inwardly, the warrior was ticked and bothered that Ashrock didn’t seem to comprehend the severity of his actions. Goldberry wondered if he even took any responsibility or felt any guilt for what he did.

Stormfury and Cloudscar remained locked in conversation. Finally the two toms seemed to reach and agreement. Cloudscar stood, stretched, and padded off, leaving Stormfury to finish the lizard, which he did quickly before padding away as well.

Northstar eyed the young apprentice for long moments before turning her gaze back to Goldberry. "I'll handle Ashrock, just worry about your sons, Goldberry." Without another word, she turned and left the den.
Ashrock looked around for Snowdance, his tail lashing behind him.
Cedarstorm caught Northstar when she exited the medicine den, informing her of what they found at the border where Coalpaw was attacked. They didn't speak any more of Ashrock and only spoke of increasing patrols to that side of the territory. Cedarstorm remained there, watching Northstar retire to her den, weariness breathing off her shoulders.

Hollowpool laughed softly. "Come on you said it yourself that he doesn't have many friends." She spoke.

Stormfury padded over to Cedarstorm after Northstar walked away. "Are you okay?" He asked, hoping he hadn't somehow angered the tom by ousting his brother.

Goldberry turned back to Coalpaw and Honeypaw, and while Honeypaw angrily tried to push away, he finally let himself be pulled close to his father. Honeypaw pushed next to Coalpaw, glued to his side and he listened to his brother’s tired and pained breaths. It made the usually firm and controlled apprentice twitch with sadness and emotion. It wasn’t fair...Coalpaw was upset, knowing Ashrock would be in trouble. At least Cedarstorm and Stormfury’s secet they shared was still safe.

Snowdance padded out of the elder’s den, having finished seeing if they needed anything.
Shademoon sighed, “I hope this is the last of this drama.” He said.
Stormcloud smiled and stood up, “I don’t suppose you would be up for a hunt?” He asked.

"Well, yeah." Frogleap shrugged. "It's because he's so grouchy and arrogant all the time. No one wants to be friends with a cat like that."
Cedarstorm flicked his ear when Stormfury padded up, but he didn't look at the warrior. "I suppose I should thank you." His tone was an eerie neutral, guarded from the emotions that wanted to rage inside of him. "And apologize for not believing you."
Ashrock padded over to the medicine cat. He spoke through gritted teeth. "How can I help you, Snowdance?"
Kinkfire blinked at him, but surprisingly smiled. "Yeah, I could use the distraction."

Stormfury shook his head. "You don't need to apologize Cedarstorm, I wouldn't have believed me either. "And you don't need to thank me either." He flicked his ear. "I'm sorry this happened to you...if there's anything I can do, please let me know."

Pinefeather nodded. "I hope it is the last of the drama also." She sighed. "It never ends." She spoke.
Hollowpool watched him. "The perfect cat for you to hang with while I'm stuck in here." She teased him softly.

(I got tons of cats open, Blazer: Rat, Whorl, Scorch, Cliff, Pale, Hound, Smoke, Eagle, etc. etc. Pick one!)
Cedarstorm shook his head, though it was hard to tell if he even heard Stormfury. "The night hunting patrols need to get sent out. You can join one if you want." His gaze lingered across the camp where his kits were playing, but then he turned away to pad toward the warrior's den. "Excuse me."

"The night hunting patrols need to get sent out. You can join one if you want." His gaze lingered across the camp where his kits were playing, but then he turned away to pad toward the warrior's den. "Excuse me." (I’ll do some starters!) Raggedthorn wheezed from his nest, his dull orange eyes sparking with thought. He rasped to the other elders. “Well this isn’t the kind of leafbare I expected so far. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at what kits do these days.” Lilypaw looked for Ratmask, wanting to distract herself from the image of her cousin bloody and in pain through training.

Closesky idly glanced at the older tom. "What is that supposed to mean?"
Ratmask was actually tucked away in the warrior's den, curled tightly up in his nest. He wasn't sleeping, he couldn't even if he tried. He was just trying to get as bundled as he could, his body violently shivering from the cold.

Stormfury called after Cedarstorm. "I talked to my father." He said. "We agreed to keep his identity a secret for now. Tensions are high enough right now. I'm sorry."

Cedarstorm paused only briefly when Stormfury called out to him. He was quiet for a few moments after what the warrior said. "Fine." Without another word, he continued on to send out the night hunts.
(If anyone wants their character to go hunting, go for it. Otherwise, I'm just gonna jump Cedar to what he does after sending out the patrols and just say the patrols went out. I think I have enough idle characters to fill them anyway xD)

He wasn't sleeping, he couldn't even if he tried. He was just trying to get as bundled as he could, his body violently shivering from the cold. “Agh. Overthrows, border squabbles, possessions, and now using poppy seeds to put your brother to sleep. Honestly this whole thing is tame compared to past choices made by cats in the clan. No offense.” Raggedthorn shrugged. He moved to shakily lift to his paws, stretching with care. “Sons can be brash.” He sighed. Lilypaw stuck her head into the warrior’s den. She paused when she spotted the shivering form of her mentor. She crept towards him, pawing him gently. “Ratmask?...Are you okay?”

Closesky flicked his ear and looked away from Raggedthorn, not saying anything.
Ratmask snapped his eyes up at Lilypaw. His ears were already back from trying to preserve what heat he could. "F-fine," he stated rather bluntly. He pulled himself to his paws, trembling like a leaf. "I s-suppose you-you're ready to t-train?"

Raggedthorn puffed at the silence, flopping back into his nest with a grunt. Lilypaw stood still and watched her mentor. She assured. “You look ready to freeze...Why don’t I help patch dens and you can get some warmth? I can go get Leaffrost is you want.” She fretted lightly.

"I-I've dealt w-with l-l-leaf-b-bares before." Ratmask shook his head. "Cl-Cliffheart already r-reinforced th-the den a-anyway. I-I can't n-neglect your t-tr-training." He pushed past Lilypaw. "C-come on."

"C-come on." Lilypaw gave an unsure look, but found gratitude that he was so dedicated to train her. She mewed. “At least let us compromise and train very close to camp. I don’t want you drowning in snow.”

Ratmask paused and gave her a narrow look for many long moments. "F-fine." with a lash of his whip-like tail he padded out of the den, shivering harder when he stepped outside.

“Appears so.” Shademoon said, nudging her, “But, it’ll work out. Always does.”
Stormcloud nodded and led the way out of camp, “Hopefully we can find some out in this cold.” He said, shaking his pelt out.
Snowdance looked at Ashrock and flicked her tail, “Follow me.” She said, leading him back to her den. Once inside, she started pulling herbs out, “I need you to tak this Coltsfoot, celadine and Alder to Raggedthorn. Make sure he eats all of it. And then I want you to check on Coalpaw, make sure he doesn’t need anything before giving him some poppy seeds. I’m sure you know where they are and what they look like.”

Kinkfire nodded in agreement. "I sure hope so. I've been coming back empty-pawed so many times that I'm starting to wonder if prey even exists in the territory."
Ashrock kept his ears back, delivering herbs to the elder's den? Raggedthorn would likely talk his ear off and he didn't even want to see the look on Closesky's face when he got there. He ignored her comment about the poppy seeds. "Perhaps I could check on Coalpaw now? He's in a worse state than the elders are."

Stormcloud sighed, “It’s going to be a tough one, that’s for sure.” He grumbled as he scented the air, still picking nothing up, “Maybe we’ll pick something up around Carrionplace.” He suggested.
Snowdance flicked her tail in slight annoyance, “Medically wise, Coalpaw is fine. What he needs now is encouragement, but that can wait. Right now, Raggedthorn needs these herbs.” She said.
