Longstar stuck his head into the medicine den, checking on the medicine cats as a part of his usual rounds. "How are the herbs looking?" He asked, "Should I find someone to get anything for you?" "I'm pretty well-stocked on most of them," Weaselfoot replied. "I could do with some more catmint and juniper, though."

"I'm pretty well-stocked on most of them," Weaselfoot replied. "I could do with some more catmint and juniper, though." Longstar nodded thoughtfully - although he was pretty familiar with where to find many of the herbs thanks to his friendship with Weaselfoot, he tended to forget some of them. "Where do you usually find those, again?" He asked, laughing in spite of himself.

Shorttail follows after her clanmate, making her way up next to the she-cat as they walk along. Shorttail doubted there was a rogue but it its always fun to look.
--
Maskedpaw looks to Icepaw and follows, walking next to him but also just slightly behind. Her mind begins to wonder and worry again. What if a twoleg finds them or something? Oh, that would just be awful! Or a dog. She doesn't want to die so young. What if they fall into a river or something or maybe, well... she was running out of possible ends to her life.
--
Nettlekit smiled but wasn't going to make the same mistake and become distracted by her mother's pride. She paws at her brother as she tackles him in an attempt to pin him down.

Sorrelpatch clambered up a hill and into the forest, and then she paused to look around. "Hm... If you were a rogue, where would you hide around here?" She asked, half to herself, half to Shorttail.
Icepaw snickered as he caught Maskedpaw's expression, his head tilting toward her. "You look like you ate some crowfood right now," He commented.
Maplekit, feeling winded from the fight and from laughing, fought against Nettlekit's pin, but was ultimately too tired to push her off. Instead, he decided to give up with a show. "Noooooo! Nettlestar has killed me!" He mewed, throwing his head back dramatically.

Shorttail hums and thinks on the question for a second before replying "The trees maybe?" she offered that up as a solution to the question.
--
Maskedpaw looked to him "Well I'm just a little scared! Aren't you? We don't have out mentors out here with us.." she keeps her voice quiet but it's evident she's a little frustrated.
--
Nettlekit smiles. "Mama did you see!?" she says looking to her mother quickly. The name Nettlestar fit her perfectly in her own mind. She'd be the greatest leader ever if she was! Everyone would love her and she'd make her mom so proud!!

Sorrelpatch's ears perked up at the thought. "Hey! What if we looked around by climbing up a tall tree and seeing if we can find any cats roaming around?" She suggested, flexing her claws as though she was already digging her claws into the bark of a tree to climb it.
Icepaw snorted, and seemed to get all the more chipper by the thought of being out on his own. "Come on, there's nothing out here that can hurt us? And even if there was, don't you want a chance to actually use what our mentors have been teaching us?" He meowed.
Maplekit good-naturedly turned his gaze to see how their mother would react to their game, eager to hear her response even though he lost.
Whiteblaze nodded, her yellow eyes bright with deep pride in her kits, but particularly Nettlekit in her deep persistence. She flicked her tail to beckon the two kits over.

((Maskedpaw: Icepaw's new conscience that he still will never listen too))
Shorttail thinks on it but nods eventually "We've just got to be careful about falling." she says, approaching a few trees and looking for way up them, attempting to find the easiest one to climb.
Maskedpaw sighs "We aren't warriors though we could get ourselves killed...but I mean, I guess yeah?" she shrugs as they continue their walk. Icepaw had a point, it was kind of boring to just train but never use their fighting abilities. However, it was also dangerous.
Nettlekit happily bounced over towards her mother with her own pride in herself practically rolling off of her as if it was a scent.

(Yes xD)
Sorrelpatch darted toward the nearest tree with a low branch and scrambled up the tree high enough to reach the branch, as though she were chasing a squirrel. She perched on the branch and waited for Shorttail, her tail held out rigid to help her stay balanced.
Icepaw paused again to scent the air, emphasizing it by breathing in loudly. "The trick is to actually keep your nose open." He meowed, flicking her pelt with his tail. "We're gonna be warriors eventually, so we might as well get used to this." He added, and his whiskers twitched as he caught the scent of a squirrel. "Hey, you smell that?"
Maplekit clumsily got up to his paws and ran to join Nettlekit with their mother, bowling into her side with a cheerful squeak.
Whiteblaze touched her nose to the two of her kits, not one to go overboard with affection even with her own offspring. "Nettlekit, you have excellent focus and persistence. It's important you don't give up in a fight until its over. But you shouldn't assume you've won until its over either." She meowed, "Maplekit, you have your size and strength to use for your full advantage, don't be afraid to use it. I can see you won't lose your head in action, either. Your father will be very proud of both of you."

Shorttail sighed with a small shrug "Guess we're goin up that one!" the she-cat says as she follows after her clanmate, balancing herself around the same branch.
--
Maskedpaw gave off a short sigh but scented the air anyways, nodding to Icepaw "Yeah.." the she-cat looks around for the source of the smell. She doesn't particularly want to hunt but she supposes if Icepaw does then he can.
--
Nettlekit bounces in victory to herself "I'll make sure to work on that then! I'm gonna be the best warrior this clan has ever seen!" the she-kit announces rather loudly but excitedly nonetheless.

Sorrelpatch turned her gaze around the nearest branches of closer trees, looking for a close but higher branch so she could get an even higher vantage point. "With the leaves falling, we'll be able to see to the ground depending on where we are." She mewed, excited at the thought of gazing down on their territory from up high. Finding a close by branch, she cautiously eased down the branch and then jumped over to the next. She wasn't really thinking ahead over how dangerous it would be to get higher.
Icepaw, seeing Maskedpaw's lack of interest, decided to show off a little and go after it himself. "Watch this," He meowed quietly, and he crept forward, lowering himself into a hunter's crouch before following after the scent on quiet paws as Stormsong had taught him.
Maplekit purred at Whiteblaze's praise, pressing himself closer into her flank. "You will!" He mewed, "You're so good at fighting."
Whiteblaze nodded solemnly, appreciating Nettlekit's ambition. "There might be times when it feels like the hard training your mentors will give you are preparation for nothing, but battles strike at any time... And it's more important than anything else that you are prepared to defend your clan to the best of your abilities." She meowed, recalling the past battles with Dayclan, and the lives lost by the claws of the enemy warriors. "There's no telling when the truce between us and Dayclan may dissolve."
(Icepaw's gonna get stuck in a bush or something lol)

((Icepaw trying to impress people by getting stuck in bushes))
Shorttail continues following Sorrelpatch up the tree's trunk and branches. She makes sure to remain careful though, seeing as the higher the go the much more dangerous the fall.
--
Maskedpaw quietly observes the toms movement, simply watching and waiting for him to catch the prey. She takes a seat quietly, as not to disturb the hunt. She shuffles a bit but remains slow and paced.
--
Nettlekit nods intently as her mother speaks. She listens to every word, soaking it in. She was determined to be the best warrior for this clan, and not just the clan but for her mother and herself. Though, mostly her mother. She'd push herself til she couldn't move if she must!

Sorrelpatch continued to climb up further by jumping to different branches, and she finally stopped once they were high enough to gaze past the dwindling leaves and see relatively far along. "Wow, look!" She gasped, marveling at the view.
Icepaw quietly followed the scent until he could hear the prey in question just beyond a tangle of bushes, and without thinking, the apprentice rushed into the bush at full speed, only to be forced to a halt by the sharp branches catching his fur, and the thicker branches closing in on his limbs as his speed had forced him into a tight space. He tried to pull himself out by pulling himself backwards, but that only seemed to get him more stuck. He growled in frustration.

Maskedpaw couldn't help but stifle her giggling as she approached the now stuck Icepaw. What a great hunter huh. "You okay there?" she asks him with a small and somewhat cleverly almost smug smile with another stifled giggle. She was actually worried though. The poor apprentice was probably really embarrassed too.
Shorttail nods in silent awe at the view as she intakes the scene unfolding around her as her gaze travels across the elegant landscape lying before her.

Icepaw felt his ears burn in embarrassment, but he didn't want to lose his image by losing his temper or anything. "I'm fine!" He replied, stifling a growl as he tried to pull himself out backwards, "It's just... The bush is more tangly than it looked!"
Sorreltail chirruped in excitement as she commented, "Imagine if we found a rogue, if we make sure to climb down at just the right distance, we could jump right down on top of them. They wouldn't know what hit them!"

"Hmm. You're right but we'd have to be careful so we don't get injured." the warrior replies to her clanmate. It was exciting. As she scented to air she could smell nothing but birds and something that smells like carried scents from the wind.
"Do you want help Icepaw? the she-cat asks him with just mild concern. She felt bad for her stifled giggles too

Sorrelpatch turned her nose to scent the air as well, humming quietly at the scent of birds. Her head tilted at the other scents carried their way. "Huh. Smell that?" She asked the fellow warrior, her eyes narrowing.
Icepaw, feeling rather miserable now that the state of his being stuck, stopped in his struggles against the branches to try to think of a way out of his trap. He postponed answering Maskedpaw while he looked for any potential way to get himself out. "I guess so..." He mumbled after a long moment.

She nods moving around the brambles before she began to try and pull him fron them, carefully of course. She doesnt want to rip his fur or injure him.
Shorttail scented the air a second time go confirm the scent, she then nodded silently to her clanmate
((Sorry theyre so short

Icepaw kept still while Maskedpaw pulled some of the brambles out for a moment, as much as it made his ears burn in shame to be helpless. Once he felt some of his fur loosen from the thorns' grasp - granted while some of the thorns took some of his fur with them - he started to try and pull himself out again, loosened a lot more thanks to the she-cat's help.
Sorrelpatch followed the scent, cautiously climbing and hopping along branches while surveying the ground for the smell, and as she drew closer, she realized she recognized it full well. "Hey, those are our apprentices!" She mewed, her eyes widening indignantly. There was no sign of their mentors' scents.

Maskedpaw nodded and pulled a few more brambles away and stepped back to let the tom free himself fully from the thorny grasp. She sat back and idled around, quietly scenting the air. her ears flickered at the sound of a familiar voice and then they lowered. "I knew it, we've been found. We'll get in so much trouble." she frets in a hushed voice
"What?" shorttail looks around and hears rustling and she can indefinitely smell the apprentices. "We should check that out, make sure they are okay."

Icepaw could scent them too, but he wasn't going to let his internal panic break through to the surface. His first thoughts were to run and hide now that he was free from the bush. "Don't worry, we can, uh..." He looked around for a quick path to dart off to, but he wasn't about to push himself through any more overgrowth...
"Yeah." Sorrelpatch agreed, quickly making her way closer to the scents and climbing down lower, seeming to enjoy tracking the apprentices down a little too much than she should have. When she was at a low enough branch to jump down, she made it a point to pounce down close to the apprentices, even though with her small size it wasn't very intimidating. "Hah!" She growled, practically triumphant.

Maskedpaw still jumped but regained her balance and stance, lowering her ears again. Shorttail came down after Sorrelpatch, she seemed concerned for the two apprentices rather than angry with either of them. "What are you two doing out here?"

Icepaw jumped at first, afraid of getting in trouble by being caught by Nightclan warriors, but seeing it being Sorrelpatch and Shorttail made him feel a little more relieved. He still had a fighting chance. He blurted out the first impulsive lie that came into his mind. "Stormsong and Warblerwing sent us out hunting." He meowed, channeling his usual pride with a curl of his tail.

((yeah))
Shorttail looks from Maskedpaw to Icepaw "Why would they send you out on your own. That's kind of irresponsible of a mentor isn't it?" the she-cat says

Post by 👻videocassette👻 on Nov 7, 2018 16:06:10 GMT -5
Sorrelpatch nodded in agreement with Shorttail, her eyes narrowing with suspicion at the two apprentices.
Icepaw smirked as a retort came to him, the apprentice lifting his head in satisfaction. "It's called a solo hunting mission." He meowed, "Did your mentors not trust you enough to send you on one?" He challenged.

Post by Voidastral on Nov 7, 2018 18:14:46 GMT -5
Shorttail wasn't going to take his bait. "No, my mentor just wasn't stupid enough to send me out alone in a dangerous place where at any time a fox could come up from behind and kill me or my clanmate." her snarkier side was showing. "Clearly, if your mentors did send you out here, they weren't the smartest of the bunch." Maskedpaw couldn't help but snicker just a bit but mostly she remained silent.

Post by 👻videocassette👻 on Nov 9, 2018 20:26:55 GMT -5
Icepaw snorted. "You know you're talking about Stormsong and Warblerwing, right?" He snided, looking as though he thought he had already won. "I wouldn't be caught dead talking that way about the clan deputy and his brother, but maybe that's just me."
"Yeah, and that deputy is going to have your fur once we tell him you two were out sneaking around!" Sorrelpatch meowed. For all of Icepaw's confidence, he was clearly lying the whole time. "It's a good thing we found you before you both got yourselves into trouble!"

Maskedpaw huffs "I told you so, Icepaw." she says with a huff. Her tone wasn't teasing it was more disappointed than anything else. Shorttail frowned but sighed "You can't blame Icepaw. Both of you left." Maskedpaw looked as if she was going to retort but Shorttail shook her head to her.
