Stormtangle blinked. "Oh, right. I was thinking it could be just us two," she shuffled her paws. "Anyways, perhaps a hunting patrol? We could try down by the stream or in the forest." The she-cat fluffed her pelt out as another cold breeze swept through camp. "With this cold weather it may be harder to find prey, but it's worth a shot." she mewed, glancing at the depleted fresh-kill-pile. She suppressed a giggle as the wind blew the fur around Softlight's face. What a furball. She thought to herself, turning to make her way towards the camp entrance. "Oh... oh!" Softlight said, now slightly nervous, and his chest fur puffed up unconsciously as he quickly grew embarrassed. He had known Stormtangle for his entire life, as they were born hardly any time apart, and he only now felt this anxiousness towards the young she-cat. "T-that's fine, I don't mind," he said cheerily, giving his denmate a reassuring smile as he followed behind her.

Smallpaw purred loudly, pleased with her mentors praise. Nodding quickly, she sat down and listened, glad the mud from earlier was drying over the white parts of her fur. Keeping an eye out, she listened and watched for birds, trying to silence her purrs. "I can't hear or see any birds close enough to the ground." She murmured, disappointed. Deerleg tilted his head slightly, eyes looking no where in particular as he thought for a moment. "Hmm... maybe we could... try some regular, nimble prey then...?" he thought out loud. As if the forest knew what he had meant, a small mouse appeared down a path in front of them. He became silent immediately and stalk-still. He looked to Smallpaw and then to the mouse, motioning for her to go and try her stalking and pouncing on it instead.

"Good!" Robinwhisper called as she thudded to the ground. Flightpaw's ability to throw her off had shocked her, normally cats just tried to shake but Flightpaw had known to roll. Robinwhisper took a second to gather herself, digging her claws into the earth for better balance. She silently planned her next attack, a side swipe to Flightpaw's left part of his muzzle. She approached rapidly, swinging out a small paw swiftly in the air. Flightpaw by this time had grown a little bit more accustomed to his new mentor's speed and agility. He was able to predict where she would hit at the last moment when he noticed how her body and elbow moved. Though, being the big cat that he is, he felt Robinwhisper's paw slightly graze his muzzle and whiskers as he lunged backwards.

Duskwhisker smirked at her. βThatβs true,β he said, whiskers twitching. He leaned down for another bite, before he heard the loners come in. His fur bristled, and he turned his head to the entrance. Hawkjaw was already confronting them, so he simply watched with narrowed eyes. Rosestorm got to her paws, claws digging into the dirt as the loners barged in, but when Duskwhisker did nothing, she relaxed and sat back next to the tom. Duskwhisker had always been Hawkjaw's den mate being only four moons apart, she'd trust Duskwhisker's judgement, taking a bite of the bird to distract herself. "So many exciting things happening, our clan is getting too big." (Question, are their random death events and stuff? Random events and stuff) Duskwhisker flicked his tail back and forth rhythmically. βAt least itβs not boring all the time, I guess,β he mused, then looked at Rosestorm. βBut it would be nice to have some stagnancy, right?β Then he smiled. βThat may just be us old cats complaining, though,β he chuckled.

Dreamwave had dropped what she was doing and padded over to behind where Hawkjaw was quickly. She didn't say anything yet, and was observing these two strange cats. She could tell neither of them seemed like they were the cat that had been scented around their borders lately, but that didn't mean they weren't a threat. Eyes narrowed, she waited for them to speak to the deputy again.

Stormtangle purred, glancing behind her and smiling before quickly turning and beginning to run the rest of the way out of camp. "I'll race you!" She called over her shoulder, shooting out of camp and dashing through the underbrush. She zigzagged over tree roots and crashed through piles of fallen leaves, leaving them scattered in her wake. The crisp leaf-fall air burned her lungs and filled her with newfound energy as her paws pounded down the slope towards the Slumbering Stream.

(lmao I had the reply but it didn't save.Also I think somewhere towards the end of the month I'm going to Georgia so IDK what'll happen then)
The two loners acknowledged the clan cat in charge and replied"Or name our Squirrel and Chipmunk."Chipmunk said.Squirrel stepped forward to get closer to the tom."Alls we came here for is safe passage through your territory.We have no need for food so you won't have to worry about missing any prey from us."She explained,trying to give as much information to let them safely through the territory.

Softlight did his best to try and keep up with the she-cat after she challenged him. The only thing he ever felt like he was good at was hunting, and occasionally could hold his own in a fight or two, but he found that Stormtangle could easily outrun him at this time in the morning.
He arrived at the stream after the she-cat and it took him a moment to compose himself before he looked at Stormtangle again, ears hot. "Uh... I uh, tripped over a branch so..." he said lamely, as to why he was so much slower.

Skystar returned to camp as these cats said this, and his eyes sparked with surprise when he entered. He padded over to his deputy's side, studying these cats. "From where to where are you going?" he asked. "What border did you enter our territory from?"

Hawkjaw silently stared as Skystar approached. He kept his stance prepared for anything, sheathing and unsheathing his claws anxiously. He wouldn't need to speak while Skystar was present, but he could observe. These cats were unlike any he had encountered before.

Robinwhisper paused for a moment, assessing Flightpaw's movements. She decided now was a good point to stop and give him a few pointers. "Okay!" she mewed sharply, "that was good! You're more agile than you give yourself credit for." She looked admirably at Flightpaw for a second before continuing. "There are some things, though, I see you could benefit from doing differently." She smiled, not wanting to sound bossy, "Such as counterattacks. When i lashed my paw at you, instead of lunging backwards next time place a paw in the air to knock your opponent's paw out of the way. It will give you a leg up because they'll be confused and you can attack swiftly." She felt the words she had heard Hawkjaw say to her flow from her mouth with ease.

"We came from the north border and we're heading south."Squirrel answered."We were following the scents of our friends but lost them when we got here.We figured they'd be somewhere in here so we just decided to go south knowing they'd be there."

Flightpaw flushed at the compliment and his fur puffed out, but he made it look like it was due to the wind. He listened intently to Robinwhisper's advice, nodding understandingly. "Okay, that sounds great! It would probably be more effective with my size, huh?" he said, no realizing it would have been the better option for him to do that in the first place than risk losing a whisker.

"You came from the gorge?" Skystar asked, trying to confirm their story. He felt much more suspicious of these cats than Cinderlight and Falconwing, and he considered that it may be because neither of these two were Clan cats, which in turn made him uneasy. Nonchalantly, he placed himself in front of the view of the nursery, forcing his fur to lie flat along his spine and his tone neutral. He gave a glance to Hawkjaw before turning his eyes back towards the two cats.

"Yes, exactly!" Robinwhisper agreed enthusiastically. She love dhubtig just as much as the next cat, but battle training was definitely her strong suit as an apprentice. She was excited to be able to do it once more. "Use your size to your advantage here." she crouched low to the ground, ready to spring.

[small.hope : Yes! Random deaths and events are so fun, right? I am telling you right now that I've decided only one of my main cats will live to be an elder :') xfogpathx : Yes, as small.hope said, we are accepting! ] Sweet, I'm down to cats dying xD I can always make more if I get lonely after all. Also, if Duskwhisker dies, Rosestorm's showing up pregnant xD)) Strawberryleaf stood on the other side of Skystar, also guarding the view of the nursery, her fur still ruffled as she watched the strangers, listening to Skystar and learning a bit. Making a face, she dug her claws into the dirt, glancing over at Hawkjaw worriedly.

Flightpaw felt much more loosened up now, after doing a bit of sparing with Robinwhisper. She's basically a younger, smaller Hawkjaw! he thought to himself comically. He put the force into his hind legs, ready to move based on how Robinwhisper did. He remembered what she had said, and would perform his next counter based off of the decision best suited for his stature.

Hawkjaw noticed Skystar's change of stance and immediately followed in suit, but his body blocking the view of the medicine den. Why did they come through the territory, instead of just going around? He furrowed his brows thoughtfully The cats had to have smelled the border markers. He darted his eyes around camp, making sure of his cat's whereabouts before his mind could be put at ease. He noticed Dreamwave and Strawberryleaf stiffly stationed beside he and Skystar.

He remembered what she had said, and would base his next counter based off of the decision best suited for his stature. Robinwhisper lashed her tail determinedly before springing into the air, front paws outstretched in preparation to grab Flightpaw by wrapping her paws around the back of his neck. It felt as though she flew through the air for several moments before she finally reached him. She wrapped her paws around him, body dangling near his chest in an attempt to bring him to the ground.

Smallpaw noticed Deerleg become silent and dropped as well. Nodding quickly, she kept her eyes on the prey and stalked forwards, scenting the air with her mouth slightly open. Narrowing her gold eyes, she kept her tail still and slid forwards. Keeping a bit away, since the point of this training was to leap. She crouched, hesitated, then jumped. Pouncing on the mouse, she landed easily and killed it, purring, proud of herself for making the leap again.

"Maybe you should." Hawkjaw spoke at last. "Not without an escort, however." He turned his head to Dreamwave and Strawberryleaf, "Will you two accompany me in escorting these cats from our territory?" He stood tall, taking control of the situation. He turned his steady gaze back on the cats. "Which way are you heading, we will make sure you get there swiftly." He made sure the cats knew he wanted them out as soon as possible.

Instinctively, Flightpaw knew what to do, but how to do it with his dangling mentor, he was unsure. So, the tom awkwardly went to the ground, putting half of his weight on Robinwhisper instead of all if it, not wanting to squash her like a beetle. Awkwardly, he stammered, "Uh... sorry, I didn't want to kill you," he meowed, trying not to laugh at the whole silly situation.

Rosestorm laughed, nodding slowly. "I guess that makes sense. We're getting too old for all this craziness, but it isn't boring, thats for sure." She purred gently, settling down and just watching now that there were plenty of cats around the loners to keep the camp safe, her ears pricked. "Why don't we finish this for now."
