(Of course, Gingy. Maybe Honeysilver and Ravenfall can head off on the hunting patrol seperately?)
Ravenfall led the way to the lower forest. "Let's split up into some smaller groups, come back together in a little while here. How about...Swiftfox and Mintpaw, head that way-" she motioned to the distance due south, "Owlflight and Dustdapple down that way," pointing west, towards the forest along the stream, "Runningstorm and Stormstrike go to Oak Roots, and Honeysilver and I will head upwards into the treetops," she suggested.

Flurryheart looked down, her leader's anxiety over the whole situation making the fur on the back of her neck prickle. She tilted her head after a moment of thought. "If he is going to act like a kit throwing a tantrum, maybe you should treat him like one." She paused. "If he makes a scene, I'd be okay to stay here and you can leave him in the lower camp, or you can switch him with me," she offered.
Mistberry's eyes grew wide as the fawn rushed passed them. She looked at Echoheart, then the younger apprentices, before sprinting after Sharpear. Wolfpaw was right on Twilightpaw's paws, his bad leg making it look like he was skipping, but he was keeping up.
Hollowpaw looked up at Rowanpaw. "Hunt..?" She had never hunted before. "Um... I'd have to ask," she said, shuffling her paws.
Kirk looked away from Candy, his meow still harsh despite his now calm expression. "I'm not scared. I just don't see a reason to leave."

Coppertuft smiled slowly. "Why of course, my deputy," he drawled quietly, with a dip of his head. "I would love to help. After all, Galegust is expecting, and Aurorastar is being fantastically petty about this whole thing. I have the perfect thing in mind, considering she's pregnant. However, to convince Aurorastar we may have to ah, simulate some of the symptoms, so you have to convince Galegust to be alright with that."

Galegust perked up very suddenly, awaking from her slumber. Hearing Coppertuft's words, she sat up, saying, "I'm getting to go back to the Upper Camp? Of course! I'd do anything to make that happen!" she purred, looking excited. "Oh, Darknight, I can feel the kits yearning for the mountains now!" she cooed, leaning into her mate. "Do whatever you must," Darknight concluded to Coppertuft. "I'll make sure you benefit from it."
Aurorastar nodded. "I am making him move without Galegust. If he wants to undermine me then we will see what happens. Darknight is a good deputy, and much of the clan looks up to him. I don't want to lose that, or there may well be a mutiny on our paws," she told the head warrior. "Let's leave now, if you're ready," she spoke.
Rowanpaw: "Why? Clearly there's not much to do here," he concluded, motioning to where Zinniapetal was sleeping in front of the medicine-den several taillengths away, sprawled out on the rock floor. "Come on, it will be fun. I can teach you everything I know," he tried to appeal to her.
Sharpear let out a barking order as he ran behind them, "Wolfpaw, jump! Hit the back legs, trip it! Grab onto the hindquarters if you can!" Twilightpaw, not receiving instruction from her mentor- a cat she had no particular interest in, honestly- followed Sharpear's words, trying to go for a running leap, but missed the fawn's back end, landing hard on her paws but not missing a beat. Perhaps Wolfpaw's longer stride was just better suited for it. Echoheart growled, as the two young apprentices were unable to keep up, not used to the footing of the valley. She began to slow, to stay with the two. There was no reason to even waste so much energy on this fawn! The clan had plenty of food, and this was basically a lost cause. They weren't even supposed to be hunting.
Candy rolled her eyes. "Because all of the fun things are in the forest. Like trees, and birds, and mice; the beach is out there too, and the ocean. I even hear there's a stream, but the other rogues tell me not to go there, that there's 'clan cats' and they own that territory. So I haven't seen that in person yet," she explained to the two toms.

Scorchdust stood up, ready to assist the young cats. "Emberpaw! Are you okay?" He meowed

Fluryheart nodded, understanding the situation. "I'm ready."
Hollowpaw looked over at Zinniapetal, then down at the herbs she had been sorting. She shuffled her paws again. "Well... if you help me finish this real quick... then I'll go with you."
Wolfpaw sped up, lengthening his strides to surpass Twilightpaw. When he was close enough he swept his front paw in an arc, trying to catch it on the fawns back leg, and cursed when it didn't work. He sped up again, but this time he leapt, digging his front claws into the fawns hindquarters to latch on and using his hind legs to batter at the fawns back legs.
Kirk sat up as Candy finished talking, looking the slightest bit interested.

(Hopefully! Lol I can't imagine having to be an outdoor cat eating wild things!) Indigoleaf smiled, excited to see the little kit look cheery for once. "Right in front of the nursery. There's a big enough space clear of any rocks in the floor." She led the way over, her belly full from the hare, and contented. "It has been a really long time since I have mentored, so bare with me! First, show me your hunters' crouch; we need the basics before we do power-training," she told him, remembering watching the kit practice in play in the past.Soulkit nodded and followed the elder before crouching down in a sloppy hunter's crouch. He was off-balance, tail laying on the floor, and paws lumbering any time he moved. Mystic soul nodded and asked in her quiet voice,"Yes. We should listen in quiet now, yeah?"

"Look who's the rotten mouse!" Breezesong joked as Coldsun joined them. She splashed around a bit just for the sake of it, figuring she might as well have a little fun.

Emberpaw huffed, eyes wide, looking terrified. He had eaten fawn before, and quiet enjoyed it; but now, after encountering the beast in person, he sure didn't think it was worth it to hunt those. He let out a curt nod, but it was clear from his expression that he was not okay. He watched the other cats chasing it down from the sidelines, hiding in the grass, crouched down. Twilightpaw lurched out of the way as the fawn went down, barely escaping the fall. Then she scrambled back to her paws, spinning in the ground, reaching for the animal's neck in time before it could get up and dash away again; she bit down, hard, holding there as the animal struggled against her, until it had no more air left. "Wow, that was amazing, Wolfpaw!" she exclaimed, eyes bright as she padded to him, licking his cheek. Sharpear was quiet, observing.
Indigoleaf: "Very nice, but tuck your tail in; hold your paws out to the side more so you can keep steady. Now cross the ground gently, on your toes so as to stay quiet," she explained, watching the kit closely.
Moondust nodded, letting Spiritvoid move forward and continue, gulping anxiously. She waited, fur pricking from her nerves.
Aurorastar led the way out of the den, but stopped upon overhearing a conversation taking place not too far away; two warriors, Petalstorm and Bramblewatcher, were padding back into camp from a trip to check the borders. "I swear I smelt fox though!" she was saying, her gut telling her so. But, she doubted herself; what if all that time she spent in the lower camp had made her forget the scent of fox? Her fellow clanmate didn't seem so sure. Aurorastar's ears perked, going alert. "Fox?" she questioned, heading to the two cats.
Thunderbolt smiled, but quickly remembered why they were here; "Hey, don't scare all the fish away. Play time is for when the clan is fed," he reminded the new warrior gently, voice soft. "Let's hunt," he remarked, heading for a good spot in the stream where the fish may swim by him, once the small-brained creatures forgot there were predators in the water.
Rowanpaw had a big, goofy grin on his face. "Great! What do I do?" he asked, before taking one of the herbs in his mouth, upon which point he dropped it, his face going sour. "GROSS!" he spat, slobbering everywhere.
Candy: "Maybe if you tried..." she murmured, "you might find you like it outside." She turned to Spock. "And one day we can go visit the stream. If we're all together." She shrugged. "But forgive me, I'm just a silly she-cat," she began, acting apologetic, before she smirked and said, "and you all are scardy-kits." Her face held humor.

Hai))
Airpaw had snuck up beside Emberpaw. "You know what to do in moments like these? BURN IT DOWN WITH FIRE!!!" she exclaimed, biting her tongue in the process. "It's so cool being an apprentice..." After finishing her sentence, she dashed off with the other, chasing the fawn.

(Hiii Snow)
Wolfpaw let go of the fawn, scrambling to his paws as he tried to calm his beating heart. He was panting hard and his eyes were wide and glowing. He looked over at his mentor to see his reaction.
Spiritvoid sat down, closing his eyes and perking his ears. "Who should we contact?" he called back to the other death cats.
Flurryheart's ears perked as well, following Aurorastar.
Hollowpaw hissed a bit as Rowanpaw slobbered all over, but her hiss quickly turned into a giggle. "Don't put it in your mouth, mousebrain," she said with another giggle. "Use your paws to separate the different herbs. Look." She showed him how she pushed around the different herbs, pointing out the differences in the herbs as she did.
Spock was unfazed by the taunt. Kirk, however, froze, narrowing his eyes at Candy.

Scorchdust glanced sternly at Airpaw before stalking over to Emberpaw," But don't just burn the creature, if you aim fire carelessly without a specific goal or target, you can end up hurting someone, or cruelly kill a creature in a horrible way. When dealing with prey as big as a fawn, go for a specific body part, like it's legs or feet. Burn that and it will be difficult for the creature to run away." The large black Tom placed his tail on the apprentices shoulders.
Coldsun chuckled, he enjoyed the young cats enthusiasm "Don't be too serious! She's excited. But he is right, the fish will be gone"

Breezesong scrambled out, embarrassed but grateful for the reminder. She didn't want to end her first hunt as a warrior empty-pawed. "Oops. Well, at least I smell more like water than cat so maybe the fish will be attracted to me."

"Ohhhhhh," Rowanpaw let out, then followed her instruction. "Nowwwwwwww can we go?" he asked when they were finished, bored. "Herbs stink."
A voice let out, "Jadepaw. We spent so muck time with her in the middle camp..." Moondust nodded, though she had never been particularly fond of Jadepaw. But certainly her time with her ancestors had changed her...
Candy padded towards the back of the den, through the see-through entrance way that was left open, into their yard. "Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me," she told the toms, hopping up on top of the fence. "The other side," she reminded, before disappearing over the edge.
Sharpear gave no praise; as unlikely of a catch that was, he just hollered behind his shoulder as he turned around, "Carry it! Let's go." Echoheart let out a snap at Airpaw, "Stop!" she ordered. "We don't go running around. We weren't supposed to be hunting that anyways. Fawn are too advanced for you, you're small and inexperienced; you haven't even seen the whole territory yet, so let's go. Sharpear, Mistberry, Twilightpaw and Wolfpaw can take that back to camp." She frowned at Airpaw, trying to remind herself that apprentices were often excitable and impatient on their first time out. Still, she was angry at the way the tour had gone thus far, mostly angry with Sharpear. "I-" Emberpaw let out. "I don't know how to burn it!" The farthest he had ever gotten with his powers was scorching his mother's belly when he nursed one time, but it didn't even leave a mark. The only fire he created with his paws was small embers.
Thunderbolt nodded, before staying still in the water; the currents flowed around him, and before long, fish were swimming past again; minnows, all minnows. He waited for something larger, front right paw held up above the water, claws extended, prepared to wait, and ready. His eyes were on Breezesong, who was just a few tail lengths away. "Pike," he warned her, noticing the movement in the clearwater upstream. In just a few short moments, it would be swimming their way, down the mountain slope far, far away...

Coldsun rolled his eyes, amused. He quietly went up to the waters edge and sat. He formed a sharp shard of ice and poised it above the water, he stared intensely, and waited

Airpaw skidded to a stop, at Echoheart's command. "Okay!" She bounded back towards her mentor, giving no detailed thoughts about the rest of what her mentor had said. It was too difficult for her to understand, with her simple mind. "Let's go explore, now!"

Coppertuft smirked at his comment. "No worries, I'm glad to help. And just to let you know," he looked around and lowered his voice, "I'd be more than happy to assist you with, ahem, Aurorastar, some other time," he said slyly, implying that Darknight might want to get rid of her at some point. He padded over to Galegust. "Here Galegust, if you want to move back to the Upper Camp, you'll need to do something for me," he said quietly.

Pantherpaw stared out at his surroundings, not even closing his eyes. He could already sense the spirits around him, restless and ever-moving, shifting. Come to me, my friends, he thought, trying to project his thoughts. I see you, I understand you. The apprentice already knew that spirits often longed to share their woes with living cats, longed to speak of their past life and their vast knowledge. Suddenly, the tom jerked upright. "I see them," he whispered, his voice slow and dreamy. "Don't you?"

Breezesong got into a ready position too, unsheathing her claws and poising it above the water, ready to strike.

Thunderbolt, as the pike reached the three cats, struck his paw out, claws stabbing into the creature; this wouldn't be enough to catch it, however, so he threw his weight into it with a leap, slamming it into the rocky bottom of the shallow stream. It struggled, to strong for him alone, and he anxiously waited for his fellow warriors to assist him.
Galegust looked uneasy. "And what is that?" she questioned, unsure. Darknight ignored the tom, as though he had no clue what he was saying, before padding away, leaving the medicine-cat with his mate.
Suddenly, around the Death cats, a voice called out, "Boo!" Before them stood Jadepaw, her regular smirking smile. She cocked her head at Pantherpaw, remembering him quickly. She was in spirit form; wispy soul-material, faint and transparent. Details not there, but easily identifiable as Jadepaw nonetheless. Moondust stared, not seeing or hearing the spirit, looking over to Mysticsoul, waiting and wondering.
Echoheart batted her on the head lightly. "This isn't time we explore. This is to show you the territory, so you may learn how to be apart of it to aid your clan." She told her gently. "Learning to become a warrior isn't about fun, Airpaw. It's about taking care of your fellow clanmates," she reminded. Emberpaw looked up, not responding to Scorchdust. He was plenty confident; he knew exactly what he could and couldn't do, and so far, he couldn't imagine just throwing flames out of his paws. He had seen others do it, sure. But him? Everyones powers were different, surely that ability didn't hide within him...?

After realizing Thunderbolt needed help Breezesong splashed in too. The water flew into her eyes and blinded her for a second, and for a moment was remembered the shark battle. She managed to wade over to her clanmate and stab the pike too, hopefully killing it.

Coppertuft leaned over her, making sure his tone and expression were friendly and reassuring. "I'm so sorry to ask this of you, but when Aurorastar comes I'll need you to eat some yarrow. You see, so you can return to the Upper Camp we have to make everyone thinks you have Morning Sickness from your pregnancy." The crafty tom said this slowly, as if talking to a young kit."You need to act nauseated and sick. If and when you do get to the Upper Camp, you still need to act sick, but not quite as bad to convince everyone that you need to stay there."
Pantherpaw dipped his head. "Hello, Jadepaw," he meowed, seemingly more comfortable talking-to spirits than live cats. He met the spirit-cat's eyes squarely, seemingly unafraid. Already, the young cat's powers seemed unusually strong. "How are you? Have you come bringing news to us? Please, we need your help." The apprentice gestured around to the circle of cats.

(Hello and welcome!!! I don't think I have a problem with that, I'm very open to LGBT but you will have to explain what "cisgender panromatic" is because I don't have a clue lol. Otherwise your form looks great! Just make sure you like the front page Well, one-on-one and small rps are still there for that reason! Just get some cats together and have at it anytime ) Darknight rolled to sit up, getting to his paws. "Well, as you may have heard, Galegust had a falling out with Aurorastar, because she chose to leave the Upper Camp to be with her mate," he answered with a hiss, "And Aurorastar is not allowing her to return with me. But I am not moving without her. So I would like it if you can come up with a good reason why she would need to be in the Cave. Something healthwise, perhaps..." he prodded, hinting at something but not directly requesting that Coppertuft lie.
Aurorastar licked her paw anxiously. "Darknight is going to put up a scene. He always wanted to move back to the Upper Camp, accusing me of staying there too long, being selfish. And now that I am letting him, he is demanding Galegust be allowed to move back," she said to Flurrynight. "I want you to be with your son at the Lower Camp, and I need to put Darknight in his place. We have to do something."
Emberpaw rushed out of the way as a young deer came crashing through the grasses, flowers being thrown in the air as it whizzed by them. The tom blinked, surprised and feeling vulnerable at the sight of such a large animal in comparison to his size. Sharpear grumbled something, as the two apprentices had failed to get close enough to it before scaring it in their direction. He stumbled forward, chasing after the animal. Twilightpaw was cursing, following the fawn and racing after it.
Rowanpaw grinned. "Ah," he said with a chuckle. "Seems boring. Want to come hunt with me?" he asked, cocking his head to the side as he waited for her answer.
Candy purred, letting out a laugh. "Fair enough," though she wondered what the big deal was, since the Twolegs could just hunt for more of it. They seemed to have plenty of hunting skills for this weird food. "So," she began, looking over at Kirk, "What do you all do for fun? I've never seen you leave your 'yard' and all the fun stuff is outside of Twolegplace. Are you too scared to leave?" she teased.[ Cisgender means that the cats wants to stay as their original / natal gender and panromantic means that they are romantically attracted to all genders or lack thereof {Not to be confused with pansexual} and homosexual means that they want kits only with their own gender ]
