Dandelionstem had figured that maybe if they had some time alone together, everything would work out. She and Brambleheart were perfect for each other, at least according to what every other cat in the clan was telling her. They belonged together. The irony of a former mentor and apprentice becoming mates was all too real but she got over the fact. Brambleheart meant a lot to her, and she hoped so vice versa. Did he care about her? Surely he did if he had agreed to meet her here in the forest. This was her time to confess and here she was, sitting alone and feeling like she had been stood up. She had come here around sun high and figured he would meet her here. Her white dainty paws were tucked perfectly underneath her fluffy tail. The molly lapped at her chest fur a bit to smooth it down, since it was prickling with a twinge of annoyance that he must have forgotten about her. But she couldn't say that she blamed him. Her green eyes stared off into the trees, wishing he would show up.

Her mind flashed back to the day she and her brother had received their warrior names. The younger apprentices were jealous and eager to finish their training so they could receive a ceremony as well. Goldenheart had been anxious and so had she, but she had found Brambleheart's proud gaze in the crowd and realised that this was how her life would be spent. But she wanted to spend it with him. They had gotten so close, they would share prey and even have late night talks out in the forest about what their lives would consist of. She missed those nights and hoped that they could have another one. But this time, as mates. "Oh, Brambleheart. Where are you?" she huffed softly to herself, switching her emerald look to the ground.

Coldnose's voice nearly startled the smoke tabby tom awake. He slowly sat up and shook out his fur, watching as the warrior slipped back out of the apprentices den. So much for sleeping in as much as possible. With a soft sigh, the apprentice stood up to his paws, stretching carefully as he made his way out of the den. It looked like he was the last apprentice to get out of his nest. Snorting, he shook his head. Smokepaw slipped out of the den and looked at Coldnose, licking his forepaw. "M'up, now. What are the training plans for today, Coldnose? Are we hunting? Battle practice?" Smokepaw asked, trying his hardest to act interested in everything that would happen. He was unimaginative- so he couldn't help it. He could only think of things when he was doing them. It left him with a rather bad flaw, but the apprentice could care less. He was hoping it'd change when he became a warrior.

Marshclaw was rather glad that Brackenpaw was up so quickly. It left them more time to hunt. He turned a quickly trotted towards the camp entrance, carefully slipping out as he looked back at Brackenpaw. "Yes, we're hunting. The freshkill pile could use it. I want your hunting to be top notch for when your assessment comes around. I'm sure Blizzardstar will be looking into it sooner or later." The senior warrior mewed as he looked around slowly before taking off towards the top of the gorge. "You'll be hunting on the top of the gorge, this time. I'm sure plenty of prey will be sunning themselves up there. Sound good, Brackenpaw?" Marshclaw asked, twitching his tail as he climbed his way up to the the top of the gorge.

The ginger and white fluffy ticked tabby quickly picked up his pace and tried to stay in step with his sister. Feeling the wind in his fur and whiskers left the tom purring in excitement as he dodged bushes and trees, slowly starting to lag behind his sister. He was getting caught up in all of the surroundings. When Mouseberry began speaking he shook his head and raced foreward to catch up with his sister purring softly. "Prey sounds sooooo mazing, Mouseberry! Is your camp far from here? I dunno how much longer my legs will keep me running!" The tom mewed, his eyes glittering in amusement. He was, though, quite enjoying this run, and his time with his sister. Something he hadn't done in forever.

[     I was going to appoint her in a Clan meeting soon, but I'm waiting on Fae to come back and have Henry tell Blizzardstar that Nightpaw was taken. Then afterwards, she can probably take her out to see what's up as a distraction and getting to know Sweetpaw. :3]

His apprentice seemed to give attitude, but he really hoped by the time she was a warrior that she would be much more..mature. He'd mentored an apprentice before Crowpaw- Aloesniff- who had become an wonderful warrior. Blizzardstar had hoped that with Bumblesting as Crowpaw's mentor, things would turn out the same. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Brambleheart, who had seemed to forget that he was supposed to meet Dandelionstem. A look of confusion crossed his features before turning soft, knowing what it was like to moon over a she-cat. However, he couldn't look soft in front of the two rowdy apprentices. He turned a stern look on and faced the molly and the tom, twitching his whisker in annoyance. "Just because Brambleheart is supposed to meet his mat- I mean Dandelionstem, doesn't mean we get to stop training. You both are getting old enough, meaning you will have your warrior assements soon. But you still have a lot to learn."

He knew that these two apprentices would listen to him. He wasn't known for being too lenient when it came to mucking around and playing. They could do that in their own time- not his. "Today is battle training. There will be a day where you two WILL be in battle and be forced to face an opponent that may have more skill than you. he told them sternly and gazed at them with his almost dead like golden look. "Crowpaw," he figured he'd start with his apprentice. "Say Badgerpaw is a warrior from another clan. They have stolen our territory and have killed off some loyal warriors. He has you pinned." he motioned for Boulderpaw to pin down Crowpaw, hoping they wouldn't start to scuffle. He had a plan in mind. "Crowpaw, he has you pinned. What do you do? He is a malicious killer who isn't afraid of a rough fight. However, this is training- claws sheathed. Go." he sat down at the edge of the clearing and wrapped his striped tail around his paws. He watched the two, waiting for their reactions.

tbh I can’t wait for school to be over with. I’m so done with high school xD
Maybe then, my activity will increase. Yeah. Hopefully.
Anyways. I’ll get in a reply sometime soon. Dunno when since today I can’t really do anything like that.

[ Camp & Leaf Fall ]

     Padding on into the den, the male sat down and flicked his tail over his paws in a cavalier manner, if it was not for the agitated flicking of his tail tip. "You seen Nightpaw around today?" He asked somewhat airily, before getting to the point. No reason to beat around the bush when a little one could be in danger. "Well on my way here, I scented her at the border. Seemed there'd been a bit of a scuffle. Tried to follow the scent but it was broken in the way of a monster's tracks. Led deeper into the twoleg place tho. Farther than I'd like to go normally. Anyway, I figure the little lass might be in dire need of some assistance." Henry's ears flicked back at the thought of what could happen to the sweet medicine cat apprentice. 'Oh her mentor is gonna throw a right ol' fit, as he should.' He thought with a slow furrowing brow.
