"A little too easily." Tumblefoot picked up his prey and padded over to his former mentor, he dropped it to bury it. "I think these rats are getting slow--hey, what happened to your paw?" He blinked in surprise seeing some blood on Goldberry's paw.
"If Leaffrost told her she wasn't to leave the den, then she shouldn't have left the den." Ratmask didn't look back at Brittlefoot, a growl escaping his throat. "If I leave this to you, you won't finish until halfway through the night! Shut up and keep working." He went for another bramble.
Longkit looked away from Strikekit when his sister returned. "That didn't look like it went well."

Strikekit tripped over his paws to avoid Longkit. “Sorry!” He squeaked. “I didn’t see you there.”
Hollowpool purred, looking at her mate. “How are you?” She asked him. “That frog for us?” She asked hopefully.

Snowdance bit back a growl, trying not to lose her patience with Cedarstar, “You’re blinded by your own stubbornness, Cedarstar. I’m your medicine cat, and I can only give you my advice, and I would hope that my leader would take that advice into consideration before ignoring it.” She lashed her tail in annoyance, “But what do I know, I’m just the medicine cat. If you need me, I’ll be collecting and sorting herbs, because apparently I know nothing about warrior duties.” She hissed, rising to her paws and storming off.

Songbreeze couldn’t help but purr moving slightly to nuzzle him, “I’m not and I won’t be. I’m fine and so are our kits,” she spoke happily. She couldn’t be happier, wanting so badly to see her little ones. She couldn’t wait to see what they look like. Would they look like herself or Lionscorch. Would they have her eyes or his? Maybe a mixture of both. She didn’t know but it was all in starclans paws now.
Crystalpaw looked at Honeypaw and frowned shaking I her head, “I’m sure he wouldn’t want me to intrude....,”she trailed off looking down at her paws, “Besides he already isn’t the nicest mentor around,” she shook her head.
—
Opalmist shook her head not responding to Ashrock she couldn’t explain it. Shaking her head she needed to calm down. Letting out a low breath she looked up towards the sky.
“Yes we do. And with the changing of seasons and prey coming back the clan will thrive and flourish,” Owlshadow purred happily leaning against him. Her pelt push and mingling with his own. She felt safe and warm by his side.

"What are you even doing?" Longkit tilted his head at Strikekit.
"I'm alright, and yes! I caught this just outside of camp for us." Frogleap settled down beside her. "Can you believe all the prey that's returned to the forest this new-leaf? I don't think I've seen so much!"
Cedarstar flattened his ears when Snowdance stormed off. Whatever he wanted to say was caught in his throat, and he suddenly became very aware of the gaze finding his pelt: his father's, Cliffheart's, Scorchfire and his border patrol. Cedarstar did his best to keep his fur flat so the others wouldn't think they unnerved him. What did Snowdance know what was going on? He tried to argue with himself. Didn't she realize what Ashrock had done to him? He shot a hardened look toward the medicine den. Ashrock was in there now under Opalmist's watchful eye. It made him nervous that his brother was around all the Clan's herbs especially after stealing poppy seeds, but he was in there to learn a respect for those herbs. He's probably hating every minute of it, Cedarstar snorted and turned around to head back to the leader's den. Back when they had been apprentices, he and Ashrock once wrestled and ended up in a bramble bush. The two of them had scratches all over the place and were kept in the medicine den for a while. With longer fur, Ashrock got tangled in the brambles and his skin was sore from them tearing his fur, Snowdance had to put an ointment on it. Ashrock had complained the entire time, and back then, Cedarstar had felt bad for him. He's changed since then. Cedarstar laid down outside his den and cleaned the pad of his paw, trying to act like he didn't notice the Clan's gazes. He's changed.

Ashrock huffed when Opalmist didn't respond. He lashed his tail, face dropping with disappointment when he realized that Cedarstar and Snowdance broke off their argument. Great. He was still stuck in this weed scented den. "What's got your fur all up in knots anyway?" Ashrock looked over at Opalmist. He got up and lashed his tail, moving to the herb stores to sort the leafs. If Snowdance was going to fetch more herbs, they'd need room for them. "Never seen you so huffy."
"Speaking of prey and flourishing." Cliffheart smiled down at her. "How about we go for a hunt? I'm sure Songbreeze and the other queens could use the prey."

Snowdance stormed out of the camp, her fur bristling and tail lashing as she padded into the forest, grumbling under her breath as she scented the air for herbs, “Might as well find some herbs,” she growled, “It’s all I’m good for if no one listens to me.”

“I was trying to hide from my mom.” Strikekit spoke. “I was gonna go in the elders den and see if Closesky or someone would hide me.”
“I know! It’s so much.” Hollowpool nodded with a purr. “And good too cause the nursery is full.” She added.

Foxshadow padded out of the warriors den, stretching and yawning. She was tired after a night of hunting. *poke*)

Closesky got up from where he laid and followed Snowdance out of the camp. He trotted up to her, clearing his throat. "You alright?"
"I'll hide you!" Longkit perked up. "Closesky's been doing nothing but laying around all day, but we can hide you in our nest." He pointed with his tail to the nest his mother, sister and him had been sleeping in.
Frogleap nodded in agreement. "I have a good feeling about the next coming moons. I mean the Clan has seen a lot of hardship with Northstar's passing, I think we're due for a good stretch of peace and prosperity."

“Perfect!” Strikekit beamed. “Thanks Longkit!” He moved towards the nest he had pointed to. “Russetshade will never find me here!” He said confidently.
Hollowpool nodded in agreement. “Starclan owes us that much.” She spoke. “A few healthy moons would be wonderful.”
Ferretclaw spotted her. ‘You can do this’ he told himself before starting over. He placed the frog next to her before saying, “I uh caught you this.”

"Why are you hiding from her?" Longkit followed after the older kit.
Russetshade was finally able to get Rowankit to settle down in the nursery, asking one of the other queens to watch him, she set out to find Strikekit.
Frogleap chuckled. "Yeah." He glanced over at the leader's den where Cedarstar was still cleaning his paw, the leader's pelt was prickled still from his argument with Snowdance. "What do you think of Cedarstar? He's no Northstar.."

"A little too easily." Tumblefoot picked up his prey and padded over to his former mentor, he dropped it to bury it. "I think these rats are getting slow--hey, what happened to your paw?" He blinked in surprise seeing some blood on Goldberry's paw. "If Leaffrost told her she wasn't to leave the den, then she shouldn't have left the den."

He went for another bramble. Longkit looked away from Strikekit when his sister returned. "That didn't look like it went well." "That just tells me that you've learned well." Goldberry chuckled, before he grimaced at his torn claw. "I struck my claw against a twoleg scrap. A rat sprang out at me. I managed to catch it though." He explained. "I should be alright, thought I might not be able to run as quickly for a while." Brittlefoot clicked his tongue at Ratmask's snap, puffing out some air from his nose. "Alright, alright, yeesh. No need to drag your teeth in my tail. Hey! I could finish it on my own!" He puffed, before he returned to his work. Inwardly, he felt rather bad for the kits. "It never goes well! He doesn't like me..." Lightkit complained, before a small scowl crossed her face. She shook her anger away and replaced it with a plead. "Longkit, you'll play with me, right?"

He watched all the kits in the nursery, giving his little brother and sister a purr of greeting as Spiderfang opened an eye before closing it in sleep again. Honeypaw tossed his eyes. "Don't let him hear you say that, he might try and act all tough." He mewed sarcastically, before he sighed with apology. "Another time then, sister. I would say visit Coalpaw in the medicine den, since clearly he's going to be stuck in there. I'll go see what my dear mentor has in store for me." He stood to his paws again, quickly pressing his muzzle to Crystalpaw's shoulder before he moved off towards Oakstalk.

Opalmist frowned slightly listening to Ashrock. Her eyes narrowed a bit staring at the ground in front of her. She didn’t know how to explain it, this feeling burning inside of her. She was a medicine cat for starclans sake she knew nothing about being a deputy and what it takes; so why was she so heated about it? Closing her eyes she let out a breath if she didn’t know them clearly she couldn’t make an excuse for herself and her behavior. Opening her eyes once more, “It’s nothing for you to worry yourself with. Now with Snowdance going out let’s see to it the store be entirely sorted through,” she meowed quickly changing the subject.
“I would like that,” Owlshadow purred happily licking his cheek softly pressing against her mate happily, “We can visit Songbreeze when we do I think Lionscorch went to go see her,” she purred so happy her daughter found such a great young tom to be fall in love with. He really loved her to the star in back she could tell.

"We could take these back to the clan and Snowdance could take a look at your paw." Tumblefoot stepped closer and peered at Goldberry's paw as if inspecting it for himself. "I know, when I came back with scratches, she wanted to tend to them right away to make sure they didn't get infected."
Ratmask lashed his tail once again, but didn't say anything further, keeping his focus on the camp wall.
"Don't worry, he doesn't like me either. I pressed against him last night and he just moved away." Longkit sighed softly, but then smiled at his sister. "Of course I'll play with you! What do you wanna do?"

Songbreeze purred happily, “I know you are.... trust me I understand your feelings,” she stopped letting out a soft breath nuzzling close to him. There was a pause in her purr as she sighed a bit, “But even with my small size and the things and stress I’ve been through both medicine cats think things will go as well as they can. Besides both medicine cats know what they are doing,” she nodded her head, “I’m in good paws,” she purred softly. She pressed against him resting her head on his shoulder.
“I will good luck Honeypaw,” Crystalpaw nodded her head before sighing slightly shaking her head looking down at her paws then towards the medicine cat’s den she didn’t really want to go over there after hearing a bit of loud arguing happening.

He really loved her to the star in back she could tell. "I'm already doing that." Ashrock stated pointedly. Wasn't she paying attention? "If it's something that keeps you this distracted, then must be important, but don't mind me." He gently shuffled a few herbs into their proper spots. "I'm just a warrior doomed to live as a medicine cat for the rest of his life. Isn't it you medicine cats who always say you have to deal with your feelings? They can be as infectious as bacteria to a wound?" StarClan, he almost gagged. Now he was talking like medicine cats? I gotta get out of this den..."Visiting sounds like a great idea." Cliffheart purred, his gaze flicking toward the nursery. He hadn't spoken much to Songbreeze since...well...since that dark time. It would be good to do so. "Let's hurry and catch something."

Snowdance jumped slightly when Closesky spoke. She took a deep breath before releasing it, calming herself and forcing her fur to lie flat, “What’s the point of being an advisor to the Clan leader, if that leader doesn’t listen to the advice I give?” She said, biting off the leaves of a borage plant. With all the new kits, her stock of borage was low. “I don’t know what else I can say to him. He’s too stuck in the idea that Ashrock is out to get him.”
Foxshadow blinked in surprise when Ferretclaw approached her with a frog, “Really? You caught it for me?” She asked. She felt her fur flush with heat, feeling warmth at the gesture, “Thanks, want to share?”

"Probably because Ashrock might still be," Closesky muttered mostly to himself, but he stepped up beside Snowdance to help her. "It's true that Cedarstar is far more stubborn than Northstar ever was, but he's not clueless." He sat up, not wanting to pull off too many leaves. "I'm sure he'll think about what you said and want to speak with you again. As for Ashrock..." he sighed. Of all his kits, Ashrock was the most hard-headed. "He's more of a seeing is believing kind of cat...It might take longer for him to come around."

"Ah...as much as I dislike stopping a hunt in the middle, I suppose you speak wisely. An infection would be quite bothersome." Goldberry sighed. He settled weight on his paw carefully before he nodded. "Get the rat you caught, this will have to suffice for now. You can go back out with other warriors if you wish to continue hunting." He promised. Brittlefoot gave a breath of exertion, having to lower back onto four paws after standing up a bit too long on his hind legs. "I guess it's good exercise..." He muttered. "Hm...Let's play Pinecone ball...uh. If we can find a good pinecone." Lightkit fretted, not seeing a good pinecone anywhere near where they were. She looked at her brother with a pout. "Where are we going to find the best pinecone?"

Opalmist stared at him for a moment before trying to hold back a laugh hearing him speak, it sounded like something Snowdance would say. Though suppressing that feeling she let out a breath before shaking her head, “It’s nothing to worry yourself over. Besides it’s just a feeling,” she shrugged. Looking around the den for a moment straightening a few things before frowning at the moss storage. Moving to fix it to take her mind off of her feelings.
“I knew you would like that idea,” Owlshadow purred happily smiling a bit nuzzling him before moving to head off. She was rather happy when she could make him smile.

(Anyone want their characters to talk to Cedarstar, feel free too!)
Tumblefoot nodded and quickly retrieved his rat. He waited until Goldberry was ready before heading back to camp.
Ratmask side-glanced at the older tom. "You want to take a break?"
"I saw one by the leader's den yesterday." Longkit perked up. "It was huge!" He looked at Strikekit. "You wanna play pinecone with us?"

“He needs to understand, by keeping Ashrock in this punishment, Cedarstar is only pushing him further away and into the idea that Cedarstar isn’t a fit leader.” Snowdance said, sitting back and sighing. She shook her head as she looked at the pile of borage leaves, “The whole clan can see the tension, Closesky, and it’s only going to make things worse.”

Ashrock immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Opalmist. "This isn't one of those StarClan sent, omen, we're all gonna die type feeling is it?"
Cliffheart chuckled and quickly hurried after his mate.

"I'm grateful, that our medicine cats are so skilled. I trust them both." Lionscorch sighed in agreement, looking down fondly at his mate. "I love you so much, you know? I can't remember a time that I didn't feel this way." He admitted with a chuckle, wrapping his tail around her. Coalpaw flopped on his stomach with a small breath, listening to Opalmist and Ashrock in the far corner of the den with a small hum of boredom. He noticed Crystalpaw padding by and perked his head up. Looking back quickly at his mentor and Opalmist, he quickly pulled to his paws and slipped out of the den as quietly as he could. "Psst! Crystalpaw!" He called to her in a loud whisper.

"I agree with you, Snowdance." Closesky gave the medicine cat a sympathetic look. "But unfortunately for us, Cedarstar is the type of tom that has to come to his own conclusions. Give him a chance to think it over and I know he won't let you down." He flicked his ear and huffed out a smile. "I used to be the same way when I was younger."

Closesky flicked his ear, huffing in light embarrassment. "I suppose I tell those stories quite often, now." He let out a sigh and glanced down at his paws. He still wasn't used to the idea of being an elder.

(Bet I gotchu.)
"You seem pretty wound up." Cardinalblaze had caught the tail end of Cedarstar's quarrel with Snowdance. He didn't know what the argument had been about, but he did know when Cedarstar was thinking and fretting about something. The golden and ginger tom approached the leader with a tilt of his head. "Are...you alright, Cedarstar?" He asked.
