Stormfury watched his mate and her father interact, in a way reminded of his first few days in camp with Cloudscar. He lightly pressed himself against Cherryvine, hoping he could be of some comfort. Featherkit, not that easily calmed, turned toward Bumbleskip as a new scent washed over her. Struggling slightly she began to make her way towards the new scent. Cherryvine watched Featherkit closely, nervous about what her father might do to her daughter. Bumbleskip crouched as the she-kit came towards him. "Hello Featherkit." he mewed gently, a light that hadn't shown in the tom's eyes since the fire making an appearance as he took in his granddaughter.

“Good. I’d hate for you to divide your sappy attention with anyone else. I worked hard for your sappiness.” Spiderfang retorted, flicking Mouseclaw’s shoulder with her tail before she smirked and crouched, launching herself at her mate the moment she placed her frog down. She challenged, paws pressing at his pelt. “I think I’ve got enough energy for one more spar, if you can keep up.” Mouseclaw didn't fight as he was pushed to the ground by his mate, a small chuckle escaping him. "I thought we were hunting?"

"You say that like you're such a bore." Palepaw chuckled. He moved to sit next to Starrylight. "But you're a great warrior too!" "Yeah!" Whorlpaw pressed her nose against Starrylight's shoulder. "We love you!" Starrylight purred, "I was just teasing, but a reminder is always nice. I love each of you too. You are growing into fine warriors." she replied, pride shining in her eyes. Duskpaw snuggled up against her mother and siblings, "I feel like we're in the nursery again!" she mewed with a giggle.

"That's not a bad thing," Whorlpaw chuckled in response to her sister while Palepaw rolled his eyes.

"I think you're bolder than you think," Smokestorm chuckled, but then he shrugged. "I'm not sure. Maybe you should ask them about it?" Cedarstar blinked approvingly at the young apprentice and he started to follow her. "I..." Snakesong hesitated. Did he truly believe that she could be bolder? A part of her wanted to believe him, but the other part of her reminded her of all the times she had choked on her words, shaken in her own skin. She took in a breath. "If we ask, I would prefer it together...just...in case I say something wrong." Rustlepaw followed the scents of her parents through the clearing, stopping suddenly in front of a large stone. Her whiskers twitched as she tested the reach, lifting her paws to spring over the stone in her way. She landed on her paws with a small exhale, but found herself purring as she realized she had done it. This wasn't so bad!

"I know she will be. She has a strong father...both real and adopted," Songbreeze purred softly looking at her mate with warm and loving eyes as she moved to sit up fully. Her pelt pressing into his for comfort as she watched Pearlkit play with a leaf. The young kit giggled as she played under the watchful eyes of her family. Though her heart longed for there own kits to be here, to watch them play and giggle. Raccoonmask didnt notice her brother at first her gaze fully set on her paws just placing one in front of the other. She let out a shaky breath as she almost walked right into him, "Oh...Im...Im...," she lifted her head not knowing who it was at first. Once she did she pressed against him in greeting, "I...I didnt see you," she whispered. "Im just glad they are all learning well and have such great mentors not to mention the clan looking out for them," Swirlheart smiled softly, "They will make sure fine warriors I am sure of it," she nuzzled her mate giving him a lick on his cheek pressing close. "Falcontalon spends alot of time with her. Which is a very good thing. It makes it easier for me to join patrols, though I do hope to teach Pearlkit some practice moves as soon as she's old enough. With my teaching, she'll be a grand fighter." Lionscorch decided, puffing his chest proudly. He wrapped his long tail around Songbreeze's small frame, rumbling with a purr. "I love you so much, Songbreeze." "Raccoonmask..." Cardinalblaze murmured softly, his heart aching as he allowed her to press close to him. He brushed his muzzle to her ears, shaking his head. "You haven't been eating or sleeping well, have you?...I can't bear to see you like this." He admitted, wishing he could take his sister's pain away. "I'm sure of it too." Goldberry purred, always a bit flustered but also calmed by Swirlheart's steady affections. He looked at her and asked. "Have you spoken to them recently? Coalpaw's been practicing on his own recently. I tried to show him some hunting crouches...and I've noticed he's actually starting to get them up to speed. It's odd..."

Oakfall had been bracing himself for a much different answer, so he was doubly surprised. He inched closer to Lilywhisper and leaned in "Oh? Care to share more?" He asked, a devilish grin on his face. Lilywhisper rolled her eyes, lifting her paw to push at her brother's face as she snorted. "As if I'm going to make it that easy for you!" Her soft voice was full of indignation and something akin to embarrassment. "You're a somewhat smart tom, I'm sure you'll figure it out sooner or later..." She puffed, not keen on what she knew would happen once her brother and sister did find out. "And what about you, huh? Are you out galivanting with she-cats?"

"Together then." Smokestorm smiled. "I know we can do anything together, Snakesong. Talking to others is no different."
Cedarstar blinked in surprise when Rustlepaw jumped the boulder on her first try. He chuckled to himself. She was gutsier than the blind apprentice from his dreams, he'd give her that.

Duskpaw shook her head, "Well of course not! Wouldn't it have been fun if Cedarstar slept in the nursery with us too? Although I'm not sure he would fit." she mewed with another giggle.

Blazer:
There was a loving expression on the she-cats face as she nuzzled close to him, "I love you too so very much Lionscorch," she purred licking his cheek. She kept close to him feeling her body being protected as his tail curled around her. She kept against him though her eyes held sadness in them, "Our little ones should be playing with her....I can imagine there voices...there laughter," she whispered to him softly. ~ Raccoonmask didnt look at him for a moment as she stared at her paws. She sighed shaking her head slightly, he was correct she wasnt eating or sleeping. Through her pelt she felt skinnier then she had ever been. ~ Swirlheart looked at him her eyes twinkling as she purred happily keeping close to him, "I have but not today. Why is it odd though?" she asked him confused. ~

"I thought we were hunting?" "We are hunting. Think of this as an exercise before we go find a bird to take down." Spiderfang mused, perching precariously upon her mate's shoulders. She squared herself up to prepare to box at him, only to whip her head around as she heard a quiet rustle through the marsh grasses. She quickly moved off her mate, her claws extended and neck fur bristling, before she blinked in realization. "Rustlepaw? Cedarstar?" She called, her tail lifting as she straightened up her posture. "Oh!" Rustlepaw lifted her ears, speaking to Cedarstar. "I can hear them! Yes, it's us!" She called brightly.

"Y...you make it seem so easy." Snakesong stammered, trying to understand how he could always stay so relaxed. She tried to imitate his stance, letting her muscles ease and her fur lie flat. She swallowed. "Sometimes I can't help but avert my eyes. How can I keep them from moving to the side?"

Lionscorch murmured sadly, watching Pearlkit and imagining his daughters batting around and playing with her. His heart ached heavily then, but he did not shake. Instead, he pulled Songbreeze closer and sighed. "I hope that my brothers and sisters in Starclan are watching over them. I know they must be. They're playing and chasing mossballs in the stars." He assured. "Let's get you something to eat, yes? We can share it if you like, and you can talk to me about anything you like." Cardinalblaze urged his sister. "Let me groom your pelt as well. I bet you'll feel so much better after we do that, yeah?" He offered, resting his tail along her flank. "It's odd only because I do not see him going out with another Warrior to mentor him in those tactics, but it's as if he's begun learning them from nature. Do you suppose he's been watching the other apprentices while they're out of camp?" Goldberry hummed, trying to figure out what was going on.

He seemed different now, but Stormfury wasn't sure that would be enough to win his mate back over. Featherkit stumbled as she hobbled towards Bumbleskip, but she continued to press on. Once she got close enough to Bumbleskip she plopped down and let out a loud squeak.

Oakfall scoffed "Oh come on Lilywhisper, you can't just dangle information like that in front of me and then pull it away, that's not fair!" he rolled his eyes at her next question. "No I am not thank you very much, I've got better things to do at the moment than drool over a she-cat."

Bumbleskip looked at Featherkit in awe, he leaned down pressing his nose to the top of her head. "Hello, little one. You're going to grow up and be a good warrior right? Y-you're not going to leave your mama down here alone."
Cherryvine let out a tiny hiss, "Father that's enough. My kits are healthy and they're not going anywhere. You can stay and see them as long as you like but no more talk about death."
Bumbleskip flinched at Cherryvine's harsh tone, but gave a small nod, looking back down at Featherkit like a shunned apprentice.

Mouseclaw blinked in surprise as Rustlepaw and Cedarstar's voices carried through the trees, "What are you two doing here? Are you on your territory tour still?" He called, ruffling out his pelt. "We were practicing at the Burnt Sycamore." Rustlepaw explained, turning to stand in Mouseclaw's direction as she spoke towards him. "Cedarstar was giving me some really helpful advice so I know where I'm going better. The tour's going really great, I've never felt so many new things at once!" She purred.

She wished she had a longer tail so she could flick it across her brother's muzzle. Instead, she scoffed. "Yes, because I'm sure so many she-cats are just jumping at the chance to fawn over you in return." She smiled a little again at that. "You'll just have to figure it out. That's all the information you get from me."

"I decided to test Rustlepaw's tracking skills and it's safe to say she's already doing better than your average apprentice."

She swallowed. "Sometimes I can't help but avert my eyes. How can I keep them from moving to the side?" Smokestorm easily shrugged. "You stare at their nose or the space between their eyes." He gave his mate a toothy grin. "They say looking into a cat's eyes is looking into their soul, and I think that's what intimidates a lot of cats. So, if you look at the space between their eyes or just stare at their nose, you're not intimidated by what you see in their soul or what they see in you."

Starrylight purred, "It'd probably be a little too warm, especially with newleaf on the way. But perhaps in the middle of leafbare it would feel nice."
Duskpaw hummed taking a look at her siblings, "I think by next leaf-bare we'll definitely be too big. Who knows, we might even be warriors by next leaf-bare!"

He wished he could do more, but it wasn't his place to interfere in her family. Featherkit squeaked as Bumbleskip spoke, not sure of what he was talking about. When Bumbleskip looked back down at her the extended a paw to try and bop his nose.

Cherryvine turned, pressing her face into Stormfury's shoulder as she tried to calm herself.
Bumbleskip's eyes went wide as Featherkit smacked him in the nose. "A strong swipe Featherkit." he murmured quietly, "You keep those for the apprentice toms."

Blazer:
There were small tears on the edge of Songbreeze's eyes. She let out a small breath pressing her face against her mates chest feeling his fur against hers. The she-cat closed her eyes letting a few slip down her cheeks, "Do....do you....ever....want to...to try again....," she whispered her voice almost non existent. ~ Raccoonmask just nodded her head letting him guide her. The once brave and strong willed she-cat was a shadow of her former self. Her eyes hallow and blanks the emotion of grief and sadness rotating in and out of them. ~ "However he is training it is working. He will be a brave and strong warrior I just know it. The clan will be proud of him as well as our other sweet kits," Swirlheart purred happily looking at him lovingly.

(Heya Ice!)
Talltalon guarded the camp entrance with a trained eye, not moving a muscle as he monitored for any activity. For a moment, he thought of Ravenpaw, and of how much he actually missed her energy and how she would bounce at the entrance of camp...Always ready to explore, and learn. He swallowed down his pain, hiding it behind a steeled orange gaze.
