Silverspirit sat flicking her tail outside of the warrior's den. Would Swiftstar return with her brother? Would Stormfury come home? Her eyes were trained on the camp entrance and her paws worked the ground unconsciously as nerves crept through her body.
Frostpetal laid near what remained of the nursery. A few burnt briars provided a little shelter, but their charred scent kept the queen from getting too close. She licked her belly, lost in thought. The kits would be born soon.

Antpaw padded towards the nursery, his eyes hesitant as he noticed Frostpetal. "Uhm..." He hesitated. "Did you want me to get you anything? I know that you're gonna have kits soon, and I bet you're hungry or something." He offered, the fire having quieted his spunky attitude for a while.

Hi Fox! Swift is talking to Dawn on the last page haha))
Frostpetal purred at the apprentice. "Well that's really kind of you to offer Antpaw." she glanced over at the prey heap. There were a couple rabbits that had been caught after the fire, but not nearly enough for the whole clan. "I'll be alright." She said as she turned back to the apprentice. "Maybe you could keep me company for awhile....if you don't have anything more important to do that is."

(Hello my fox friendo)
Ravenkit gave a little pout, trying his best to catch Heathersky's tail between his tiny paws. The young kit was already curious, constantly looking around for new things to play with. He squeaked out quietly. "Mama...I almost caught it." He looked up at her, blue eyes wide with curiousity.

"Oh! Company?...Yeah, sure. I can do that! I'm good at that." Antpaw perked up, sitting down in front of the Queen with a small and almost skittish look. He shuffled his paws and swallowed. "You uh...don't think Meadowbrook is going to come back, right? I don't want to get caught down in a tunnel or something." He admitted quietly.

Frostpetal let out a small sigh. "I wish I knew Antpaw." she admitted. "I never woul dhave thought Meadowbrook was capable of doing this...I don't know what else she could be capable of." she paused for a moment, not wanting to scare the apprentice. "But she would have to be more than rabbit-brained to come back here now that the clan knows what she's done."

"I thought about what she said when she left..." Antpaw sighed lightly, shrugging as he averted his eyes for a moment. "I think alot of the tunnelers don't want to admit that we feel pushed out sometimes. I know that Windclan isn't about Moor Runner or Tunneler, but...I dunno. I can't see myself ever being a good Moor-runner...but Cobblepaw's been really wanting to do both lately, and well, maybe I could try it out sometime?" He wondered aloud. "I think Soarpaw would feel less lonely then." He admitted.

Frostpetal nodded. "I think there have been several warriors of WindClan who have chosen either moor-runner or tunneler when they would have been very capable at either." she agreed. "As for myself, I could never be a tunneler, but I can see the appeal. I think Swiftstar training as a tunneler could open the door for an era of WindClan that may be unlike any other in our history. Who knows, maybe someday there won't be moor runners and tunnelers, maybe WindClan will have warriors who are equally as proficient in both."

"That's what Cobblepaw says alot." Antpaw hummed with agreement. "He said that Blacktail was like that, but if Swiftstar could do it, then surely Starclan has no problem with other cats doing both too." He was quiet for a moment, before he looked up at the Queen.
"I can't see you going in tunnels. I feel like you'd bounce against the walls and get caught on a rock." He joked, a small chuckle escaping him. "Especially since your belly is so big."

Frostpetal glanced at her belly and let out a mrrow of laughter. "Antpaw I don't think I would fit in a tunnel with my belly this big, let alone have room to bounce!" She purred at the thought of her normally lithe body stuck in a tunnel entrance like an overweight rabbit. "You'd have to come dig me out."

Brownleaf stumbled out of the tunnels, exhaustion taking over his body. He had been working for hours, and only stopped when Spottedclaw forced him too. He felt safe down there, the tunnels seemed so disconnected from the rest of the clan he found it easy to just focus on work and forget everything. Well, try to forget everything. He padded in the camp and wordlessly flopped onto ground, not even bothering to clean off the clay and ash that plastered his pelt and caked his claws. He stared numbly ahead, refusing to sleep. He was deathly afraid of dreaming about Meadowbrook. He wouldn’t be able to handle seeing her again.

She purred at the thought of her normally lithe body stuck in a tunnel entrance like an overweight rabbit. "You'd have to come dig me out." "I'd dig you out quicker than you could imagine. I've got good digging paws." Antpaw bragged, his spunky nature slowly but surely returning. He had always liked Frostpetal's kindness, talking to her made him feel much better. "If your kits come soon, maybe when they're older I could mentor one." He mewed hopefully. "That would be fun." |

((Hi Moon! Sorry for the poof everyone!))
Frostpetal purred. "Maybe, if Swiftstar gives you your warrior name by then...have you given any thought to what you want it to be? I remember when I was an apprentice I would spend way too much time trying to guess what I thought my name might be. Frostshard was always a favorite." Her tail flicked happily as she thought back to her days as an apprentice and her warrior ceremony.

Swift will be back soon, and he and Hare can go training? Otherwise I have a bunch of free characters and I think we're just fixing camp and otherwise being shocked about Meadowbrook)

Swiftstar slowly padded into the WindClan camp. It was still mostly charred, but he was thankful to see the clan had continued to rebuild in his absence. Glancing over at the prey heap he noticed it was looking a little low and frowned. He would have to speak to Blacktail about it. Were patrols still going out but there was nothing to catch? How much of the prey would return after the fire? He glanced around for Harewhisker.

(No worries Fire! I went to bed shortly after)
Harewhisker stood up when he spotted Swiftstar entering the camp. He had been taking a break and cleaning his paws, but with the Clan leader's return, he knew there was work to be done. Harewhisker started over to Swiftstar and flicked his tail in greeting. "Everything go well in ShadowClan?" He looked past the leader, noticing Stormfury hadn't returned with him.

Swiftstar nodded. "About as well as it could have gone I suspect." he said, thinking back to his meeting with Cedarstar. "Stormfury has made the decision to stay in ShadowClan, but perhaps I have made some progress to rekindle the mutual respect that Northstar and Scarstar once had. Only time will tell." He flicked his tail, lost in thought for a moment. He wouldn't tell the clan about the state of ShadowClan's camp. The Great Fire had affected all the clans it seemed, but either WindClan was much better off than the others, or ShadowClan was much worse off. In any case the last thing he needed was some battle hungry apprentice finding out and stirring up the clan. There was enough to be done in their own camp. He looked back at his tunneling mentor. "Until then, I think I have some tunneling to learn." he twitched his whiskers in amusement.

Harewhisker nodded in agreement. He couldn't say he was surprised Stormfury remained behind, especially after the life he had built there, but it was good to know that the respect once held between WindClan and ShadowClan was returning little by little. "After how Cedarstar sent his warriors to warn us and your humble apology. I think there might be hope for good relations between our clans." He flicked his tail for Swiftstar to follow him and started over to the nearest tunnel. "First things first about tunneling tho, you gotta make sure you're okay with closed in spaces."

Swiftstar nodded and followed after Harewhisker. "I'll admit after Cloverleaf's death the tunnels make me a little wary." he said, trying not to think about the feeling of the weight of the tunnel collapse that had taken his first life. "I should be okay, but it will take some adjustment." He padded along after the tom, keeping his chin held high. He needed to do this...for his clan.

"I'm sure you'll have no problem getting the hang of it, Swiftstar." Harewhiskers nodded to the leader and paused briefly at the tunnel entrance. "Keep track of my scent as we go and if you need too, keep your nose against my tail. We have a lot of work to do on the tunnels after that fire. So, I'm going to lead you to an area that needs repairs. We'll work on you getting to know the tunnels later."

Swiftstar flicked his tail. "The tunnels under repair...they're safe for us to be in, right?" He glanced down at the tunnel entrance, then back at Harewhisker. Worry pricked at the back of his mind and he tried his best to push it away.
