'There's already chaos.' Fox reasoned, swishing her tail and blinking slowly back. 'How do we know there isn't somebody more qualified here? Just being in the royal family does not guarantee your ability to rule.' She said, nodding slowly. "Well, who can you think of right now that's capable to rule?" Oak realized that sounded hostile and winced. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to attack you. But I really am curious. Who can you see ruling us?" He purred. "Duskstorm could be King of the Kits. Although he wouldn't know how to handle grown cats!" He ducked his head, eyes narrowed in amusement, and gave his chest fur a quick lick. 'I have no idea.' Fox chirped. 'I'd like a she-cat, I think, so perhaps Dewfern.' She purred loudly at his joke, finding amusement in it, her tail curling around the branch they sat on. |

"Oh I uh just feel really uncomfortable around other cats and hate having any attention on me." Rosebriar sputtered while turning a lovely shade of red. |

She purred loudly at his joke, finding amusement in it, her tail curling around the branch they sat on. "I guess so. She's royal. But I've never seen her--how do we know what she's like?" He groaned and flopped his head on his paws. "That's why I don't try getting all twisted up with this politics stuff. I'm not very good at it." He flicked his tail and looked up at Fox. "Do you know what your mentor thinks?" |

'I believe he's loyal to the king.' Fox replied, looking up at the castle. 'I've never seen Dewfern myself, either... what about Duskstorm? What does he think? Or does he not... say much?' She questioned, tilting her head down at him.

She questioned, tilting her head down at him. "she doesn't say a whole lot," Oak replied slowly, then looked down as if afraid there was a cat listening among the roots of the tree. "I mean, he doesn't really--he's not the type of cat to go sharing his allegiance with his apprentice. But I think he's disloyal. Not enough to do something--not yet--but he gets a little grumpy when I mention the royals." |

Fox giggled, pushing Oak lightly with her paw, eyes twinkling with amusement. She then nodded and looked away. 'I can understand why the other cats might be disloyal to the king at least.' She began to groom the fur on her toes. 'He doesn't seem to be all there when you see him.' |

"Oh I uh just feel really uncomfortable around other cats and hate having any attention on me." Rosebriar sputtered while turning a lovely shade of red. "Well that I understand..," she mewed, looking back away. "I'm not exactly a social butterfly either." Tawnyclaw craned her head to lick her chest fur. She knew she was antisocial, but she enjoyed her solitude. Other cats mostly misunderstood her, she guessed. |

Rosebriar looked at the other cat. She couldn't think of anything to say so she layed down and looked for dancing dust mites in beams of sunlight.

"You know it's okay to be, right?" Tawnyclaw turned her gaze onto Rosebriar for a moment. "Don't get caught up on what others think. I'm getting the sense you have been." She leaned against the couch and basked in the sun filtering through the old stone windows. In a more narrow hall across the room there were stained glass pictures that reflected in the setting sun.

She began to groom the fur on her toes. 'He doesn't seem to be all there when you see him.' "And nobody's ever seen Dewfern," Oak went on, sighing. He raised himself up again and stared at the ground below. "We'll just have to see how it works out. Promise to stick together?" He turned and cocked his head at the other apprentice. Having someone else to deal with all this tension with seemed like the best bet. And he could always use someone to trust no matter what. |

Fox blinked at him slowly, then gently bumped her forehead against his. 'Promise.' She purred, rubbing her body slowly beneath his chin as she pushed past to reach the tree trunk. 'I'll show you how to get down.' She said. 'Watch closely.' She wiggles her butt a little to gain her balance, then dug her front claws in and jumped down the tree in two bounds, before landing neatly on her four paws and looking up at him with a small chirrup, tail curling prettily over her back. 'Think you can do it?' |

(Later tonight the mealtime will be set up. Everyone is typically expected to be there, but their cats can ignore it if they please. That's a good time for Duskstorm to talk to Dewfern if you want. *winks* Artemis will be there then.)

Wolfbite jumped slightly and cursed his lack of notice of the other Tom, and looked at him, licking down his fur to try and smooth it over as it had stood on end.
'Hello, Alderstripes.' He sighed, before he came to a halt, and sat down. 'You can if you'd like; I've not really anywhere to be.'

"Sorry I scared you." Alderstripes settles down beside him. He didn't mean to make the other jump. "How are you doing today"?

'I'm alright, I suppose. It's been a slow day as of far.' Wolfbite replied, cleaning behind his ears and yawning again. 'I've spent most of the morning sunning myself. And you?' He asked, blinking slowly at his senior.

(Sunpetal and Maplefall are open)
Oak sighed and shook his head.
"This can't end well," he meowed, but he tried to copy Fx's movements. He leaped forward, digging in his front claws, and yelped as one didn't stick. He began to fall and kicked off the tree, ended up tumbling down and managing to land on three of his paws. "Ancestors above, I'm not doing that again!" He exclaimed, shaking out his paws and tail. "You're supposed to be he if belt guard, not the tree-climber!" He sighed and padded up to Fox's side. "Mealtime's soon."

She said, swishing her tail a little. 'Should we start to head to the hall?' |

(If anyone wants. :3)
- - Flamewhisker
As the orange tabby padded across the stone bridge, he frequently had to steady himself on the slippery tile. He put his paws up on a smashed in section of the side and turned his gaze to the setting sun. He felt his stomach quietly growl in anticipation of the next mealtime.
- - Lighttail
The she-cat growled as she yanked another thorny weed out of the ground. Lighttail felt a thorn slightly scratch her cheek, but she ignored it and continued to attempt to garden the patch of herbs and plants.

"It's hard not to. I feel judgement even if it's my imagination burning into my fur all the time. It doesn't matter who is around." Rosebriar said in a low voice.

"Went for a walk and reminiscing about the good old days." Alderstripes mewed chuckling softly. While he liked being a elder, he did miss being young and doing his duties for the clan.

Wolfbite sighed and nodded in agreement. His own retirement had been premature due to bad injuries, prohibiting him from being able to properly do his job. He shuffled a little closer to the other elder and began to quietly nose through his fur, cracking any fleas that he could find. 'Mealtime should be soon enough.' He said amiably. 'Perhaps we'll learn a little more on the situation with the king. I do hope he's bearing things alright.'
