Mosspaw's ears twitched- combat training sounded like fun! But Larkeye definitely wouldn't approve.
"Let's just say we're heading out for hunting and do some training later. I don't think Larkeye and Strawberrypaw would go for it." He whispered, casting his gaze over at Strawberrypaw, who still seemed to be deciding.
"Well, what do you think?" He meowed, giving the she-cat a friendly nudge.
-------
Minnowheart padded back into camp, dropping her fish off at the fresh kill pile, except for one which she kept for herself. They weren't very big.. but she decided that the rest of the clan should have their fair share before she thought about getting seconds. She picked up her fish and waited for Speckleclaw to select his choices for Larkeye, hoping she might be able to eat with them.
------
Owlshadow padded back to the meeting spot, a mouse hanging from his jaws. He dropped it, scenting the air for the other cats. Surely by now those apprentices had managed to catch something? He decided to simply wait in their meeting spot- he would have them relay their experience when they had returned. Hopefully with prey, or they'd be cleaning out the elder's den as soon as they got back to camp.

Ripplestorm makes his way up to Owlshadow and places his prey on the ground. He glanced around for a moment before looking back at the deputy. "Are we waiting for the apprentices?" He asked.
Dawnripple and Littlespring drop their catches into the pile.

Owlshadow nodded at Ripplestorm, stifling yet another yawn. "Yes, I'm hoping they've learned something from this little lesson. Ivypaw doesn't seem to want to work with any cat. i worry about him when he gets older. How has your training with Mosspaw going?" He meowed curiously. The other apprentice seemed to have some sort of vendetta against Ivypaw- why, Owlshadow had no idea. Perhaps it was just apprentices being apprentices.

"No... Munestar, but we can always hope." He takes a moment, as if to recall the omen.
"Clouds shall cover the stars and darkness will shadow the clan. Only the light of dawn can bring an end to the night."
He makes a thoughtful sound, "As always, Starclan is vague with their words..."
~~~
Speckleclaw keeps the fatter fish with him. He wanted Rootkit to eat it, but knew she would share with her sibling anyways. Then.. something for him and Larkeye to share. There was a bird that would do nicely. He turns and sees Minnowheart waiting.
Perhaps she wanted to eat with him and Larkeye...? Or maybe she was waiting for him to move so she could grab something else.
"Join us?" he offers to Minnowheart. It was up to her to decide then, and he spots his mate, the kits, and a few apprentices surrounding them. Ah... He makes his way over and drops the fish in front of his kits and then the bird in front of Larkeye, "Hello apprentices."
~~~~
"...I suppose this could be good enough" They could catch something else and switch roles. Give them both a chance, but he could sense Ivypaw's impatience.
"..Let's just call it good then." Maybe just explaining their method to Owlshadow would be good enough.
Not that he felt anymore bonded to Ivypaw, but Mosspaw was the one that really had an issue with Ivypaw. Briarpaw just wanted to be on decent terms.. and not have the apprentice insult his mentor.

"Sounds good." Ivypaw turned on his heels and headed back to camp. He figured Briarpaw wouldn't mind carrying the prey back. Along the way, a flash of color caught Ivypaw's attention. He slowed and headed towards it. Lounging in a tree was Blazestep, fast asleep. The sunlight reflected against his red pelt. Ivypaw's whiskers twitched. Hanging beside him by their tails were two plump mice. Had the tom come across them together and managed to get both? Or did he find one, then the other? Either way, it wasn't half bad. Even if he decided to take a nap instead of bring them straight back to camp....Shaking his thoughts aside, Ivypaw continued on his way back.

Briarpaw follows after Ivypaw, prey delicately held in his mouth. He goes to ask what Ivypaw thought he was doing when he slowed off course, but there was Blazestep- at first his fur heats in embarrassment- surely Ivypaw thought the worst- but there were two fat mice right next to him. Good! He looks between Ivypaw who was heading back and his mentor who was sleeping, and quickly scurries up the tree. He'd catch up in a moment. He should wake up Blazestep. He prods at his mentor with a quick paw, "Blazestep" he mumbles around his mouse, "wake up, we're heading back"

Blazestep swat a paw at whatever was trying to rouse him. He was so used to sleeping in strange places and so keeping his balance across the branches he was lying on top of was fairly easy. He opened one eye. "Hm? Why?" He yawned, his ear twitching. He never seemed to be allowed to nap anymore. He did notice Ivypaw continue back to camp, though.

"Mosspaw's training is coming along really well. He can be a difficult but he is eager to learn." Ripplestorm said. He knew Mosspaw could do great things if he put his mind to it.

"I feel the same about Ivypaw. I only wish he was more sociable. Just because he was born outside the clan doesn't mean he gets an excuse not to care about it. Mosspaw on the other hand, at least he seems wiling to work with others" owlshadow commented, his gaze looking up towards the sky. It was certainly past sunhigh now, but there was no sign of the apprentices, or Blazestep. Owlshadow doubted something had happened, otherwise the other members of the patrol would have heard it, but his pelt still prickled uneasily.
"What do you think is taking them so long?" He meowed, half to himself.
--------
Minnowheart nodded brightly, her small fish still in her jaws "Yes please" she meowed, and followed behind Speckleclaw as he approached Larkeye. She twitched her tail in greeting, and leaned down to the kits "Hello all of you!" she meowed warmly, looking at their cute fuzzy faces "Have you guys been doing a good job protecting the camp while we've been away?"
Mosspaw nodded a greeting to Speckleclaw and Minnowheart. Good, he thought, now Larkeye will be distracted and we can take Strawberrypaw out, no problem.

Ripplestorm agreed with him. He had a feeling Ivypaw would open up once he made a friend or if he had a mate when he was older. If not then oh well. "Want to go looking for them?"

"Hmm. Perhaps we should" Owlshadow grumbled, feeling slightly irritated at himself for not keeping a better eye on them. "Their scent trail is still fresh, so it shouldn't be hard to follow them. Let's just hope they haven't gotten into trouble."
As for Blazestep... he could take care of himself, Owlshadow decided. Besides, it's not like the clan would be losing out on much if he didn't come back...

Heatherkit and Rootkit share a look, one which has Larkeye carefully nudging them. "They're..a bit shy at times. Hello Minnowheart."
Heaththerkit soon bounces forward, "We would, but we just got out of the den! Right Rootkit?"
"...right" the kit mews quietly.
"As a warrior you get to go out all the time.." Heatherkit droops.
Speckleclaw carefully nudges Strawberrypaw towards the other two apprentices, all the while he keeps his gaze on his family and Minnowheart. This was the apprentices best chance to get of camp.

Why doesn't she want to do anything fun?" Shadowpaw wondered, looking back at Mosspaw. |

Blazestep licked a paw before passing it over his ear. "Because I can't sleep peacefully back at camp." He yawned, but shrugged. He untied the two mice and let them fall to the ground before sliding down the branches himself. He collected them and started back for camp.

(It's been 3 days so I'll just let Strawberry decide where she wants her character to be when she gets back. )
Minnowheart twitched her whiskers, smiling at the kits "You guys will be able to leave camp soon, don't worry. For now I think your best duty to the clan is taking care of Larkeye, isn't that right? The nursery already feels so much more secure with you two in it" She purred, building the kit's confidence. She knew how hard it was to wait in camp until you reached your time to become an apprentice, and so when days were slow she tried to spend as much time as possible with the little ones- even Rootkit, who seemed more timid than most.
"I think she just feels bad because she isn't as good at fighting as the rest of us" Mosspaw meowed simply thinking back to how timid she had seemed during practice in the past. Then, Mosspaw took Speckleclaw's signal, blinking gratefully, and flicked Strawberrypaw's shoulder with his tail, signaling for her to follow if she wished. He and Shadowpaw crept quietly away, careful not to catch the protective queen's eye. Once out of sight, Mosspaw perked up, stepping excitedly out of the forest. "What do you want to do first, hunting practice or battle practice?" He asked Shadowpaw, letting her decide. He could go for either- he just didn't want to sit around camp all day.
-------
Owlshadow tracked the apprentice's scents around the area they had hunted in, grunting with satisfaction as a twinge of blood graced his nose. "Good, it smells of prey fear-scent here, along with blood. They must have actually caught something" He meowed, feeling satisfied. "The trail leads back towards camp- looks like the two of them just forgot to meet back up with us- they must have been excited about their catch"

Shadowpaw thought. He had perked his ears up when she had said combat, and she wanted to do the thing they were both going to be excited about. She concluded that this was the best option, and raised her head towards Mosspaw. "Uh, how about some combat training? It will be fun. But where should we go?" She asked, again wanting to do whatever he wanted. She took a step forwards, trying to show him that she wanted to go away from their current location.

(Dawnripple and Littlespring could start up some mischief in camp?)
"...I guess that's true" Briarpaw mumbles as he watches Blazesteps mice hit the ground. He quietly picks his and Ivypaw's back up and shimmies down the tree after his mentor. Blazestep was also going back to camp...? The apprentice shifts on his feet and hesitantly moves back to the meeting spot.
If absolutely none of the cats that had split up returned there, Owlshadow would have to think something was amiss... so if he waited for Owlshadow and Ripplestorm, at least there was someone to tell them that the others returned..
He curls his tail over his paws and sits with his ears perked.
~~~~
"Mhm... Larkeye is nervous." Rootkit smoothes her fur down with a quick lick.
"Nu uh! Larkeye is a strong warrior! She just needs us out of the den to show us!" That's why Heatherkit spent so much time trying to scare their mother out of the den. SHE thought it was a good idea, even if Rootkit disagreed. Rootkit usually said it was her idea anyways- even though Larkeye knew by now, any mischief was Heatherpaw's doing... well the times they were caught were. "And the camp will be even more secure when Rootkit and I are apprentices, we'll show Briarpaw what it means to be a real apprentice" Heatherkit puffs her chest out, Rootkit hisses scoldingly.

Blazestep's ears twitched. Was Briarpaw waiting for the others? How odd. He didn't recall being told to return there....but then again his attention to the conversation came and went. He slipped back into camp and dropped his kills on the pile and glanced around.

Hehe question is what kind)
"Well no point in going back to sleep." Littlespring mewed turning her head to look at her friend. "Any idea on what we should do?"
Dawnripple smirked and looks at her friend. "Simple we have a bit of fun." She scans the camp as she tried to come up with something.

(Sorry everyone! I'm on an orientation visitation away from home at my uni this weekend, so my replies will be sparse.)
"Hmm.. let's go to the training hollow and practice battle moves then. There's this one that Ivypaw used on me the other day.. even Owlshadow looked surprised! I want to see if I can copy it and surprise him next training session" Mosspaw meowed, his eyes shining with excitement.
His tail up in signal for her to follow, he lead the way a short distance off towards the training hollow.
-------
Minnowheart twitches her whiskers in amusement "Of course, Larkeye and Speckleclaw are fantastic warriors! That's how I know you will be too" She meowed, trying to smooth over the kits worries about their mother. Every cat who could see their whiskers on their face knew that Larkeye was a nervous worry-whisker, but with any luck her kits wouldn't have to worry about that until well after they were apprenticed.
"Your ceremonies are coming up soon- they have to be, with how big and ferocious you are. Is there any cat you two would like for your mentors?"

(and I'm sorry for not responding sooner, I got sick very suddenly and I'm getting my butt kicked)
"Larkeye or Speckleclaw should be my mentor!" Heatherkit pounces on a rock and begins to kick at it, "but they cant..." Because they were related. If she had to choose.. she always thought Dawnripple or Littlespring would be fun mentors. They could get into so much mischief... But the two cats weren't her sisters style.
"I always thought you'd make a good mentor..." Rootkit mumbles quietly before pawing at the fish her father brought for her.

"So, Mosspaw.... how good are you, with fighting? Will you make fun of me if I'm not good?" |
