Sagefoot caught sight of Juniperberry leaving camp, she bounded over to the warrior dipping her head. "Juniperberry! If you're going out, would you mind checking the border with Skyclan? Fallowmeadow and Amberpaw can go with you."
Fallowmeadow padded over to Sagefoot, nodding her head to the deputy and Juniperberry.

Breezekit woke up and left the cozy nursery. Walking not too far from it she started to breathe deeply and sense the nature of her surroundings. She felt the breeze, the cold snow and the birds singing. Breezekit felt refreshed for other day.

Jasmineheart padded through camp, looking for Siltpath. Sagefoot had asked her to find the tom for a patrol.
Larkpaw dragged a rabbit over to the elder's den, peaking her head inside.
Wolfstep looked for Hazelear, hoping to spend some time with her after his dawn patrol.
Sandfall looked for cats to go on a border patrol with him.

Siltpath was pacing slowly near the nursery again, seeming to worry for the kits. He knew that Brownleaf would have a hard time getting the clan to accept his and Meadowbrook's kits, and he hated to see his friend in such a distraught position. He turned when he saw Jasmineheart approaching, pausing in his pacing as he exclaimed. "Oh! Sorry, were you looking for me?"
Blacktail was laying in his nest, though it was clear that the Elder wasn't sleeping. If anything, he looked at the nest around him with a hint of a calm frown. So used to sleeping outside beneath the beautiful stars, he felt that the nest and den were not the same. He did perk up when he saw Larkpaw though, looking at his nephew's daughter with a warm purr. "Come for a visit?"
"I'm here, ready for patrol, all that." Furyflame mewed to Sandfall with a big stretch of her legs before she grunted. "Where are we heading to?"

Jasmineheart nodded, smiling shyly at him. "Sagefoot asked me to get you to check the tunnels near highstones with me. She's worried now that the ground is softening as it gets warmer some of the tunnels we don't check as much may be falling in a bit."
Larkpaw presented him her rabbit with a grin, "I brought you this, I caught it myself!" she mewed proudly, nudging it closer to him.
Sandfall dipped his head in greeting to Furyflame, "Riverclan border, think we can manage just the two of us?"

Just the two of us?” Siltpath asked, his voice a bit flustered, though his small delight at the prospect clear with how he seemed to brighten a bit. There was no denying that he liked spending time with her, and she was always so kind. It was hard not to be smitten by her. “That’s a brilliant catch.” Blacktail praised, lifting to his paws to inspect the rabbit. “Rosefeather and I can share it. You should be very proud, Larkpaw, I’ve been watching you and Juniperpaw progress in your training.” “Hmph! I could manage it by myself if you wanted me to.” Furyflame decided, giving Sandfall a small smirk before she continued. “Riverclan would be foolish to go through the gorge just to mess with us anyway.”

Dashclaw shook the sand out of his fur from where he'd been resting. He looked around for Sagefoot, wanting to offer to take a patrol out.
Beankit was digging in the sand, looking for 'treasures.'
Harewhisker returned to camp from one of the tunnels, having missed the whole kit fiasco. He squinted and blinked a couple times when he exited the tunnel before carrying his rabbit over to the prey pile.

Jasmineheart blinked, feeling her fur heat up at his flustered appearance. "Oh yes, just the two of us. Is that a problem?" she asked, nervous that maybe he thought she wasn't good enough to help him.
Larkpaw's eyes shined at the praise, she settled down across from him, "Sagefoot told me you were her mentor when she was an apprentice. That's so cool that a deputy got to train another deputy!" She giggled, leaning in towards the elder, "Did she ever cause you trouble?"
Sandfall swished his tail, seeming unphased by her snark. He had Stormfury and Goldheart for brothers after all. "Alright then, let's get going. The gorge may keep them from coming here too often, but we gotta make sure those fishbrains know we're not slacking on our border duties."
Sagefoot waved her tail to Fallowmeadow, Amberpaw and Juniperberry as they set off. She turned looking towards Dashclaw as he approached, "Dashclaw! I need one more patrol to go out and check the border near fourtrees, perhaps you can take Goldheart and Soarshadow with you."
Goldheart huffed as he heard his sister call his name, begrudgingly walking over to them.

Dashclaw smiled when he heard Sagefoot. A patrol with his kit? He liked the sound of that. "Soarshadow, Goldheart, you ready to go?" He idly wondered if they'd run into any ShadowClan cats since ShadowClan still claimed Fourtrees.

Breezekit stared to nowhere, thinking: "I'm don't to be a moor runner, neither a tunneler. What I would want to be?" Looking for advices about it, Breezekit padded near the elders' den and asked: "Anyone is here?"

Goldheart huffed as he heard his sister call his name, begrudgingly walking over to them. "Not a problem at all! It's... it's nice, really. Sometimes big patrols get uh... too big." Siltpath stumbled over his words, before a sheepish laugh escaped him. "Besides, you're always great to tunnel with. I'd even say you're the best one to tunnel with!" Siltpath admitted, before he froze up with a fluster and coughed. "S-should we go then?" "Trouble? Starclan, no." Blacktail chuckled fondly. "Trouble and Sagefoot do not go together. She was an absolute joy to train, with a dedicated heart and a kind soul. Though, I was lucky enough to have very amenable apprentices." He admitted, before he continued. "Your mother was the only one of her siblings to want to become a tunneler. She never let it show much, but I could tell it was hard for her to train without them all at her side. Even so, she exceeded every expectation. She didn't need me to become worthy of being deputy after me. She was always suited for caring for all the Clan." "Sounds good to me. Maybe if we're lucky, we can get a good banter in with some fish-pelts." Furyflame clearly wanted to push away her own Riverclan lineage by expressing her distaste for them, having always identified only with her Windclan blood. It was something she tried to do, lest anyone in the Clan doubted her loyalty. Soarshadow approached Goldheart and Dashclaw with a small smile, the new Warrior looking at his father with a dutiful and anticipating look. "You think you can keep up with me?" He asked with a rare show of boldness, though it was clear there was a soft teasing undertone.

We can send Sand & Fury to the border page and Dash, Soar and Gold to the fourtrees page so we post on both? ) Jasmineheart smiled, pleased with his answer. "I enjoy tunneling with you too Siltpath. Let's get a move on, we might have a lot of work to do!" she mewed cheerily as she headed for the nearest tunnel entrance. Sandfall headed out of camp towards the gorge, he was able to move faster again now that the weather was warming. "They can be there as long as they don't cause any trouble. Sagefoot will shred my ears if she finds out I'm the reason Riverclan's got a grudge against us." Goldheart said nothing as he followed Dashclaw and Soarshadow out of camp. The tom had been rather prickly before, but ever since Patchriver had succumbed to greencough last moon, the tom had been nearly insufferable. He radiated anger and hostility as he stalked toward fourtrees. Larkpaw listened to Blacktail, hanging on every word. She hoped she could live up to her mother's name, she wasn't much for causing trouble either unless it was harmless. Playing small harmless pranks on Juniperpaw never got old. "I can't imagine training alone like that, I love going out with Juniperpaw!" She turned as she heard Breezekit's voice, "Oh hello Breezekit, come to visit the elders too?" Shadowfire

"Not really, I need a advice from them. The other cats tell me that the elders are the most wise of the clan." Breezekit said to Larkpaw, with a calm voice.

Siltpath followed quickly after Jasmineheart, heart beating quickly as he hoped to impress her, or at least see her laughing and smiling. Jasmineheart’s laugh was the nicest noise he could think of. He admitted. “The highstones tunnels are always the coolest ones. Especially when they start going upwards into the mountains themselves!”
Blacktail’s attention was drawn to Breezekit as he mewed. “Well, I can certainly offer advice to you. What can I help you with, Breezekit?”
(Sounds good! I’ll post there!)

"Well, I don't to be a tunneler, neither a moor-runner. What can I do of my life?" Breezekit explained everything to Blacktail. Her family was made of tunnelers so, she don't have too much choice

"Well, I don't to be a tunneler, neither a moor-runner. What can I do of my life?" Breezekit explained everything to Blacktail. Her family was made of tunnelers so, she don't have too much choice Blacktail was silent for a long moment, before a small smile crept across his muzzle, and a knowing look filled his eyes. “Well. If Swiftstar is anything like the leader before him, like my former mentor, Scarstar, then I would say you have a path that is the same as my son’s. Cobblepaw expresses to me the same mindset all the time, and I know it well, because I was the exact same as you. So. You do all you can, to do them both.” He said simply.

Breezekit thought, and gives thanks to Blacktail. The she-kit was happy, knowing she could do both as hard as she works for it.

Larkpaw nodded, smiling kindly at Breezekit, "My mother has shown interest in learning some moor-runner skills now that she's deputy. I think more and more cats may start learning skills in both roles."

“I would be so happy to see such a thing… when I was your age, there was an even greater divide than there is now…” Blacktail admitted, remembering how that same divide had torn his family apart, and made his apprenticeship and kithood miserable. He had been ashamed, when his mother and father would argue so brutally because of his father’s insistence he be a tunneler, while his mother wanted him to be a moor-runner.
He shook the memory away. “I shocked the Clan when Swiftstar, a moor-runner, trained me as a Tunneler. She said that her leadership meant that she was to lead all of Windclan, so she learned to do Tunneling duties and allowed me to train with the Tunnelers, before taking me Moor-Running in the evenings. It was perfect, and I always loved her deeply for doing that for me. I couldn’t bear to be forced to love only one role, when I loved them both. Now, these days, I hope to see that choice become an option, and the divide to one day dissolve between Tunnelers and Moor-Runners.”

Larkpaw nodded, smiling kindly at Breezekit, "My mother has shown interest in learning some moor-runner skills now that she's deputy. I think more and more cats may start learning skills in both roles." "Do i need to tell the leader that I want to be both?" Breezekit asked, to Larkpaw and Blacktail. She imagined: "two roles, two mentors, too many confusion..."

Larkpaw looked at Breezekit sympathetically, "I think most cats train in one skill than the other. I can't imagine trying to learn both at once! You're still young, you can tell Swiftstar your decision when it's time for your ceremony."

You're still young, you can tell Swiftstar your decision when it's time for your ceremony." "That's true! Thank you Larkpaw, thank you Blacktail." Breezekit ran happily in the camp, but tripped on rock and fell. It doesn't hurt so she got up and continued running.

Blacktail nearly surged up to go check on the kit, but he quickly calmed and stilled when she got up and continued running. A small chuckle escaped him. “Starclan, that age is always the most exciting, hm? She reminds me of Rainfeather, when she was her age.” He sighed wistfully at the memory of her, missing his friend more than ever. Some days, he missed all his old clanmates so deeply that it ached.

Larkpaw turned back to look at Blacktail, a new curiosity sparking in her eyes. "Rainfeather, she died with my grandmother. I don't remember much about Swallowfeather." she mewed honestly, her voice somber. "What can you tell me about her? Sagefoot never talks about her father either! Do you know who it is?" she asked, eyes wide.
