"Can you blame us for looking so protective over our family?" Skystar asked. "There have been foxes and other trouble up there. I recommend staying away. Also, our markers are over near the gorge, so I'd also recommend staying away from here." He didn't know if these cats had no conception of borders, but that didn't mean he was going to let their actions slide. "If you absolutely have to go through our territory, we'll give you an escort to the southern edge of the lake. However, take this as a warning. I won't be so considerate again." His blue eyes were icy and cold. He had little tolerance for cats that deliberately ignored their Clan markers, as it endangered all of his cats if these two just decided to wander into their camp.

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. Standing awkwardly, Robinwhisper couldn't conceal her smile. "No, that was great!" She beamed at Flightpaw, "In battle, you could do serious damage to a cat with that move. Most try to shake me off..." she trailed off, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. "I'm pretty tired after that one, however." She licked her chest to hide the embarrassment that she was getting exhausted easily these days. "Should we head back to camp and do some hunting on the way?"

Brokennose looked up when he heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Chipmunk."CHIP."He called as he ran up to him and nuzzled him.Chipmunk looked at the cat"Ash?"
(Ash was his name before he came to the clan)

Duskwhisker slowly nodded, peeling his eyes away from the loners, then took his bite of prey. They took a few more turns before they were finished. The tom swiped his paw over his mouth a few times, then blinked warmly at Rosestorm. βThank you for hunting with me,β he said. βAnd sharing prey.β
((oops I was waiting for an ice cream order lol))

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. Stormtangle took a moment to catch her breath, her heavy pants leaving puffs of white condensation in the cold morning air. "I win!" she exclaimed loudly, holding her tail high in the air. "Better luck next time," she purred, brushing against Softlight. "Now, shall we get some hunting done?"

"I enjoy spending time with you. You're easy to talk to and have just enough energy for me to keep up with." She pointed out, pressing her nose to his shoulder before settling down on her belly, back legs stretched out behind her lazily.

[GEE ROBINWHISPER WHY ARE YOU GETTING TIRED HMMM!??!?! ARE YOU FAT TOO??!?!]
Flightpaw looked at Robinwhisper curiously, a light smile on his face. "Hmm... okay," he said, whiskers twitching. He felt good after their training session, more confident on his moves. He padded alongside her gleefully, turning towards the direction of camp, heightening his senses as he listened and scented for prey. He looked like a tower with his ears straight up and alert.

Skystar watched with a blank expression. He waited for Brokennose to continue to converse with this "Chip" character. He knew that neither Brokennose nor Waterfur were clan-born, and their Clan had accepted them knowing this fact, but if their future was to lie with GroveClan, so would their loyalty.

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. [Sorry forgot to reply to this one qq]
"Well done!" Deerleg purred. Smallpaw had shown great potential with her small size with both hunting and leaping. "I'm sure you'll become the best hunter... in the whole Clan," he said softly, his eyes bright with pride and hope for this young she-cat. Nodding, he said, "Go ahead and bury it near your bird... We'll keep hunting and practicing for a while longer. You're doing great."

A shiver went through Softlight's body, and he told himself it was due to the chilliness. "Y-yes, lets. Though, if you're planning on telling me to fish... you're out of your mind!" he exclaimed, a light chuckle escaping him before his teeth chattered. He held his eyes shut for a brief moment, trying to huddle into himself. "I hate the cold..." he muttered.

"Y'know, I was nervous to be your mentor." she admitted, turning to look at Flightpaw. "Just because I've never had to train any cat that towers over me...But today was fun! I'm glad Hawkjaw trusted me to finish your training." She had a smile on her face, sure that hunting with Flightpaw would go just as well as battle training. He would make a fine warrior.

Smallpaw grabbed the mouse and buried it near her bird, yawning as she looked up at the sky. "Can we just hunt for now? I didn't sleep too well because of the storm last night and I'm getting tired from all the jumping." She pleaded softly, walking back over to her mentor tiredly.

[Haha, I try to pair apprentices and mentors based on personality and stuff. Plus if a cat is less than 24 moons its unlikely I'll be giving that cat an apprentice, so I have to consider age too. There's also people who request their cats to not have an apprentice for a while/at all, so there's that too lol. I think Skystar would be able to handle Cobwebpaw the best lol. Yeah okay RW LOL]

Duskwhisker purred and nosed her back. βThe same with you,β he said simply, then got to his paws and stretched for a moment. His eye gazed around before looking back at Rosestorm. βI should find my apprentice for some training, itβll get us away from these loners for a while.β

"Haha, you shouldn't have been," Flightpaw said, smiling gently at Robinwhisper as they padded along. "I'm pretty easy; I'm almost a warrior already!" He kicked a few pebbles along the path as they walked, feeling refreshed and calm again since the fox attack. "Yes, training with Hawkjaw was like two boulders rolling around... so tustling with you was a new experience for me as well."
As the orange tom finished his sentence, he heard a scuttling among some fallen leaves from the season. He slowly got into a crouching position, tucking in his large body to prevent it from touching the ground as he slunk towards the creature. He pounced once he was close enough and realized he had caught a fat mouse, killing it quickly after he had moved the leaves off of it.

I didn't sleep too well because of the storm last night and I'm getting tired from all the jumping." She pleaded softly, walking back over to her mentor tiredly. "Oh... yes, that's fine." Deerleg had almost forgotten about the storm, having done his best to channel all of his effort and thoughts into training Smallpaw. When Smallpaw had mentioned in, his mind wandered once again to Robinwhisper and knowing that she hadn't returned to camp that night. His heart sunk once more, wondering if he'd ever find the courage to be around her again.
The tom led the way down a path quietly, trying to put his efforts into hunting with all of his might.

Brokennose turned to his leader."These two are the two that took care of me and Waterfur after we left our home."He replied and turned to Chipmunk."My name is Brokennose now,and Blue is now Waterfur."The tom explained.

"Have fun, be careful. Seems theres a lot of loners and predators around these days." She warned gently, her voice warm towards the tom. "Don't run him weary with your boundless amounts of energy."

He held his eyes shut for a brief moment, trying to huddle into himself. "I hate the cold..." he muttered. Stormtangle nodded in agreement. "It's much too cold to do any fishing. Let's concentrate on the shore for now." She dropped into a hunter's crouch, her tail flicking back and forth. She carefully slid her paws along the sandy ground, trying to stay as silent as possible. She tasted the air several times before the strong scent of mouse began to fill her nostrils. Suddenly, she spotted movement in a pile of reeds and noiselessly began to creep towards that.

Smallpaw yawned quietly again and followed her mentor, listening and looking out for prey, not wanting to miss anything while they were still technically training. Her stomach growled and she ignored it, shaking her head clear. "Do you want to split up perhaps?" She asked Deerleg, noticing he seemed distracted like her.

A half-hearted screech sounded from the apprentice's den before two streaks of white and gray bolted from the yew bush. "Come back, you mouse-heart! Face me!" Cobwebpaw crowed as her paws raced after the still faster form of her brother. Tricklepaw looked over his shoulder to see her leap off the ground, landing onto his back with a huff. She crouched on top of his back, heavier than the lanky tom, with a smug grin and a swish of her tail. "Say the magic words and I'll let you up." she purred.
"Never, you big snowball!" he hissed back playfully and used all his strength to push up. She gasped as he lifted onto his hind legs before letting himself fall backward onto her, squashing the air out of her in the process. "Take that!" he said before rolling off his sister.
"Oh! I'm gonna get you for th-." Cobwebpaw stopped as she got to her paws to face her brother. There were strange cats here. She could see them stalking to Skystar. ANd she had only just noticed! What a warrior she would make. "Who are they?" Tricklepaw followed her gaze but shrugged, turning away from the strangers.
"No clue but none of our business. Let Skystar handle it and keep your mouthshut." he warned. He knew that look in his sister's eye. She was gonna get herself into trouble some day.
--
Crookedpounce winced at the pain in his back foot. This weather was going to drive him insane. Still, he wasn't going to complain about a little joint pain when there was still duties that needed to be done. He stalked past a sleepy Pinemouse who was absent-mindedly nibbling on a mouse. She had a late patrol last night and was always a slow starter. He scoffed at the young warrior without any real malice before looking around anyone willing to do a patrol.

Skystar remained still and silent as he observed the interaction between Brokennose and Chipmunk. It was several moments before he said anything. "Brokennose, did you mention to them that you and Waterfur were going to become Clan cats?" he asked the young tom, still keeping his eyes on the loners.
