(Hey guys!)
"Sometimes being young is a good thing," Redwind replied, nodding his head as if agreeing with himself. "And with this new litter of kits you'd be able to gain experience if you mentor one." Upon the mention of his brothers names, he let out a quick laugh. "I'd say you're just as qualified...maybe even more." He thought of their rogue father, and his mood dampened. "Tricklestone would surely lose his mind if one of them was deputy."

Leopardcloud looked at him with pity, and thought of her own sister Dawnshine who was also had a father outside of the clan. Her sister never showed doubt in herself, but Leopardcloud wondered how Redwind and his brothers, and Dawnshine must feel. She thought to herself how maybe he is right, and a young mind with fresh ideas might be a good thing. She flicked Redwind's ear lightly in a playful way, "Maybe I'll be your leader one day fuzzball," she chuckled. "Oh, we're here," Leopardcloud explained and stopped suddenly, her paws skidding in front of her.

Red wind smirked as he swatted playfully at her. "I'll tell Ebonystar that her deputy gives warriors mean nicknames," he joked, his sentence trailing off as he surveyed the swamp. Being more alert, he scanned around for any alligators. "Seems quiet today," he noted.

"That's good, right?" She tipped her head at him. Leopardcloud looked around, her ears perked and body still. She could hear the rustle of plants, a bird calling, her heart beat slowing, and she strained to hear anything that had gone unnoticed. "Where should we look?".

"Maybe we can check the reeds," he said, heading cautiously over towards the edge of the water. With gentle paws, he began parting the reeds and peering in. "The alligators probably hid them somewhere in case cats like us came looking."

OCC:RP: Graywind smiled wickedly and was about to dart away when she heard Ebonystar, she instantly regretted getting drawn away when she felt her best friend tackle her to the ground. "Oof! Oh by star clan you are heavy!" She mewed and pretended to be winded with his weight. As fur connected with fur, a surge of emotions pulsed throughout Nightweb's head. It has been far too long since he was able to chase and pin down Graywind so easily! The bliss that came with this accomplishment and realization was countered by worrisome thoughts however... Since it was that easy, was he just getting better, or was she getting worse? He hoped dearly that it wasn't the latter of the two options, the tom would hate to see such a dear friend start to lose her edge. Especially since the pair were still young warriors... there would be nothing good about that situation. These pulses blocked out the outside world: he didn't hear the leader's call, the tunes of nature were blocked out, other cats were made silent. All that he focused on now was what just happened, and mostly on the positive side of the situation. No need to be negative now... "Me, heavy? It is about time I gained some weight, Graywind! Do you know how boring it is to be average?" The speckled tom purred with delight, not moving off of her to relish in his accomplish for longer. "Besides! This is fun."

Leopardcloud nodded silently, focusing her attention on pawing gently through wet plants and mud. She would be surprised if there were eggs around, since alligator mother's usually protect their nests except to feed. The silence unsettled her, but looking at Redwind's focus and bravery soothed her, and she shuffled through more muck. Soon, Leopardcloud gasped and lightly pawed away a wad of muddy sticks to reveal a few eggs. Odd, considering nests usually carry enough eggs for two clans. "Redwind!" She called excitedly. "I think I found a few that got knocked out from another nest," a purr rose in her throat. The kits would be so thrilled.

(Hunting patrol with Brambleflight, Longclaw and Dawnshine?)

( very sorry for the late response! school is swamping me with hw :< ) Vineheart heads out of camp, accompanied by those who had wished to join her. She wears a relaxed, half-lidded expression as she pads through the tall grass of the territory, occasionally stopping to crunch a leaf beneath her paws curiously. "What do you all think of this weather?" she meows, turning behind her to face Dawnshine, Brambleflight, Lotuspaw and Longclaw. A fine patrol, she thinks. And a strategic opportunity to teach Lotuspaw some hunting skills. Good one, Vineheart. After her little inward compliment towards herself, she sits down and curls her tail over her paws, swiveling her ears. "Lotuspaw, which direction is the wind blowing?" she asks quietly, looking at her with a patient smile. She's fully aware that her slowness might agitate her companions, so she tries to speak with mild urgency. "If you two would like, you could go ahead and we'll catch up."

Dawnshine padded along behind her clanmates, soaking in the warmth and light winds flowing through her pelt. She purrs happily at Vineheart and Lotuspaw's training, and thinks of her own apprentice Crowpaw back at camp. "I should have brought Crowpaw along," she thinks to herself. Maybe next time. She dips her head to Vineheart and goes on ahead, staying on high alert for the scuffling sound of prey.

Redwind's ears perked up as he bounded over to Leopardcloud, peering over the sticks to look at the eggs. "Good eye!" Redwind said as he gently picked one up in his mouth. Placing it on sturdier ground, he shuffled through more of the sticks. "There's a few more," he told Leopardcloud."How many do you think we can carry?"

RP: "Thats a good rule, you should follow that until you go to the Elders den," Redmoon purred as she walked with the young kits. She paused as she watched the medicine cats move past going to the nursery. "Looks like you guys will have some company." She smiled happily, "More kits is a good thing."

Longclaw remained silent as he walked a bit behind the patrol, his eyes scanning for any prey. Faintly listening to Vineheart, his eyes briefly flickered over to the she-cat's apprentice. "It's fine," he responded to Vineheart. He didn't mind if the patrol went a little slow so that Lotuspaw could learn. He had remembered how frustrating hunting could be as an apprentice.

( while im online im going to throw another apprentice into the mix ^-^ )
--✿ Mintpaw ✿ Tom ✿ 8 moons ✿ scritchscratch ✿ ✿ Mintpaw is a pale silver tabby, his fur nearly snow-white and stripes lightly colored. His build is dainty and rather lanky, as he's tall but not burly. Mintpaw is very doubtful in personality, often contradicting what others say and being a bit hard to converse with. He purposely makes himself stubborn and hot-headed, as he hates socializing and doesn't want to grow close to anyone as he's afraid he'll simply drive them away. However, he gets flustered very easily. ✿ Apprentice ✿

Leopardcloud looked at the eggs with a flustered expression. She stifled a laugh, "Well I don't think we can tuck these under our chins like moss for the elders, so we'll have to either find some kind of big holder for the eggs to scoot all the way back to camp or carry two in each of our mouths".

Vineheart nods and smiles warmly at Dawnshine as she pads ahead, then turns to Longclaw. "Thanks," she says gratefully, appreciating the knowledge that she's not holding back the patrol. It's nothing against Lotuspaw, of course- she rather enjoys teaching her apprentice, but it's easy to make her anxious about situations like this. She'd never admit it, of course. "Would you like to help me?"

The sound of her clanmates soon died down and she prowled for prey. Dawnshine froze, her ears swiveling in the direction of the screaming call of a mink. She dropped down, not letting her fur touch the ground and keeping her tail barely hovering. Her breathing shallowed and steadied as she stalked forward and caught sight of the brown mink. It had not spotted her, and seemed to be scouring for something to eat. Dawnshine tensed up her muscles and launched forward, her paw landing squarely on the mink and she delivered the killing bite.

"Hmm," Redwind looked at the water, searching for any movement beneath the surface. He batted his paw lightly over the watery surface, watching it ripple. When he still saw no movement, he relaxed a bit. "There isn't any alligator, at least near us, so we can try finding a holder."

( thank you, koi! ) She nods proudly, grinning a tad. "Yes, you're right," she starts, standing up and flicking her tail on Longclaw's shoulder in a 'follow my lead' gesture. "Can you tell me what that means for us?" I don't expect her to get this right... it's her first time out, after all. It's impressive that she was able to tell me the exact cardinal direction of the wind, though... her mother must have taught her well. She draws in the scents of the air, closing her eyes.

Longclaw went to respond to Vineheart, but stopped as he saw Dawnshine hunting. Waiting until the mink was caught, he then turned back to Vineheart and Lotuspaw. "There's a good example of the hunting position," he said. "It seems like you already are a decent mentor." He added, nodding in approval as Lotuspaw answered her mentor's question.

"Aw I was looking forward to seeing you try to fit an egg in your mouth," she teased. Leopardcloud nodded, "let's see what could work. We need something that curls up on the edges so they don't roll out". She padded away from the water to look in the drier parts of the swamp.

Vineheart raises her eyebrow at Longclaw. "You doubted me in the first place, eh?" she says, but her tone is light and teasing. She then nods solemnly, turning back to the two. "Yes, Dawnshine's provided an excellent example! Follow how she keeps her entire body low, but hind muscles tense."
