"That stick saved my life."Sprucemask answered coldly,stopping dead and glaring at Bouldersplash."Once when the camp flooded,I was a kit and the only thing keeping me from falling in was that stick."

"Simple is the loser's way of showing up Ashpelt. No, this name has to make everyone's mouth drop open in awe, cats will be envy of this name and most importantly, Ashpelt will forget Eldermoon's name. Which, by the way, is a beautiful name and you won't change my mind on it." Fogstar grunted and turned to go get Shadefang. "Either way, Snailpaw, we are going out with Kitepaw and his mentor so suck it up, you're an apprentice not a kit." He felt somewhat...okay with his answer, it felt good. Rolled off the tongue nicely. He was almost a tail length away from them when he noted the eagle. Good catch, great catch...perhaps no hunting training then? Battle would be good, but haven't the apprentice's seen enough battles already? The voice began in his head

Bouldersplash stared for a second, small laughs still in the back of his throat "Look" He couldn't help a small snicker escape "not meant for" He had to pause for another second "any offense" He took a deep breath, forcing the remaining laughter back down though a smile still on his face "Everyone has something they don't want to lose, it just caught me off guard"

"What'd you expect it was,a mouse?Or maybe a feather?Oh!A rock perhaps?"Sprucemask retorted."It's not my fault it's a stick."He turned his head back towards the path and continued on."You wanna explain?"

βIt's a technique I like to call hook, and reel. Where you use your tail to catch the fish.β Palemouse explained to Emberpaw. Her tail twitched back and forth on the surface mimicking the motion of an insect. Straining her eye, she caught the glint of silver scales. She swished her tail faster as if taunting the fish to come closer. Foolishly enough, it fell for the trick. Palemouse paw swiped down, hooking onto the carp. Lifting it up, she tossed it to the side allowing it to flail helplessly in the grass."It's pretty simple trick," she added before delivering the killing bite.

Shadefang decided to leave the eagle in front of the nursery, hoping at least Eldermoon would spot it and dig in. She turned to Fawnstep and gave her another lick on the cheek. "I'm taking Kitepaw out now," she meowed. "Save some prey for us for when I get back." She gave a purr before turning and padding up to her apprentice. "Kitepaw, we're going training."

Bouldersplash's tail flicked back and forth angerly for a second, half debating on what he should say. He didn't move a muscle when Sprucemask started to walk, half in defiance and half because he wasn't sure how eager he was to help out anymore if this is how he was acting. "Maybe YOU want to explain" He kept his voice as calm as possible, despite how eager he was to just let it out how he felt "Because apparently I committed a heinous crime when I dared to laugh at something unexpected, and then topped it off with understanding. Sorry if I'm a little lost here, because I MUST be missing the obvious crime." Bouldersplash's voice had started to rise in pitch a bit at the end, finding a bit hard to keep himself calm after verbally attacked like this.

Emberpaw's eyes lit up when she saw the technique in action. For a moment it sounded crazy and she doubted that would work at all. Eager to try it out herself, so she retrained her eyes on the river, letting her tail droop over the side. She kept taking a few quick glances up at Palemouse "is this right?" she whispered, trying to flick her tail back and forth subtly, but really noticing it seemed to move a lot more than what Palemouse did.

Nudging her catch to the side Palmouse observed Emberpaw's attempt. Automatically a frown appeared on her face when she noticed an error. The tail needed to move fluidly in the water not sweep back, and forth.βRelax your tail muscle your movement is too unnatural β she pointed out.βYou want to catch the fish not scare it off β.

Fogstar finally found the words in his head to speak. "Oh, Shadefang. I was wanting you to join me with Snailpaw on training together. We could do some kind of battle training, test their skills together." They're the same amount of moons, so it makes sense, doesn't it? Well that's quite the relief. Didn't even think that far ahead. Further makes Snailpaw weird though, scared of a cat her same age? Strange thing, but not entirely bad. "Are you up for the challenge?" He asked, trying to force a small smile on his face, it obviously faltered and he turned his face away.

"No."Sprucmask started laughing."No no no no no.I want you to explain why your front legs are half submerged in the mud." You're just lucky I don't leave you.I'm not going to help you next time you're caught in something.He thought bitterly.

Sweeetmaple sat boredly at the edge of the camp, she knew she should go hunting or something but the patrols had already been sent out and she hated to hunt alone and so carefully standing up she decided to visit the nursery and maybe give some tired queen a break.
she poked her head through the entrance to the nursery "hello?" she said tentatively, the smell of milk and moss reminding of her of when she was a kit in Cedarclan.

Bouldersplash's face only fell when he heard that. Nononono, he was not going to just pull that nonsense and pretend he wasn't upset not even a few breaths ago. He was honestly tempted to just leave at this point, not wanting to be made a fool of any longer "Funny, cause you pretend you were not upset when obviously you were, I'm not some mousebrain" He only picked his paws up and moved them to the side away from the mud, it honestly not bothering him at all at the moment. He didn't move forward though, standing his ground. "But you are being a jerk for getting upset over something trivial and then acting 'oh I was just going to tell you that your paws were in the mud' the moment I decide that I don't want to be treated like that"

Emberpaw nodded lightly, eyes flickering across the water during her attempt at relaxing her tail. That was easier said than done, some of her movements stiff when she became more aware of the movements of her tail. It took quite a bit for her to finally feel like she was getting the hang of it, mostly letting the gentle flow of the river move it and merely slowly bringing it back towards her. She took a quick glance up at Palemouse, trying to get another hint or a good to go on her technique. What she didn't notice is that apparently a fish had seen her tail and was locked on. She only was aware of this fact when it jumped from the water and latched on. Emberpaw let out a loud yowl in surprise and backed up quickly, managing to just barely get the fish on land before it let go. She could only stare at the flopping fish heart pounding louder than she ever thought possible. "Do-" she paused, finally taking a brave step forward to actually kill the fish instead of letting it flop around pitifully "does that count?"

"Oh no,I'm not pretending.If I were you wouldn't be able to tell a difference."Sprucemask replied calmly."I just want you to stop thinking you know what I'm going to say.I tell you to explain,and after leaving one part of the conversation,and you still think I'm talking about the stick."He glared at Bouldersplash,his voice raising to a yell."So don't think I'm a mouse brain just because I don't think like any of the rest of you.Don't think I'm a mouse brain because I like to drop a subject mid conversation!The fact that you cats always try and make it seem like you're right is the worst thing I've ever heard."Oh,he's Sprucemask.He won't be able to process what's going on.He's Sprucemask,he'll just go back to playing with his sticks or his prey."Well news flash!I'm not shallow and I do in fact know what you guys are talking about when you do crazy crap like that!"
He huffed,shoulders rising and falling.You're all wrong.I'll prove it!He darted off into the under brush,not looking back.He ran through the trees,not caring when he ran into bushes,when he hit a tree,or even when he tripped in a hole and sprained his ankle.He kept running until he found a clearing with just one tree:A spruce tree with honey suckles growing on it,weaving around with briars.Home.

Bouldersplash huffed, walking back in the direction of the camp. He always found it annoying how Sprucemask failed to explain what he thinks, and always goes off about how 'oh boo hoo, no one understands me. feel sorry for me because I think different'. Such a defeatist way of thinking, it did the clan no favors acting like a kit who was just told they cant leave the camp. Not to mention him just running off whenever he feels like, or how about how he acts like majority of the clan is his enemy who doesn't care about him. With every step, Bouldersplash grew more and more angry, fuming at basically every thought. All he wanted to do was tackle that jerk to the ground and forcefully explain every single thought that he had so maybe something would get through that thick skull. Part of him knew this was a terrible idea, part of him knew he should leave and cool off before he makes things worse, but he didn't care about that part. He turned tail and started back towards the spot Sprucemask had left, carefully sniffing out the other warrior to track him down. He was lucky that Sprucemask had run into a lot of things apparently-the fact not quite registering to him-and made it a lot easier to follow. He stopped at some clearing, and quickly noticing Sprucemask he yowled "THEN EXPLAIN HOW YOU THINK MORE OFTEN YOU SCAREDY-MOUSE" was all he managed to get out from his fuming thoughts. He stood with muscles contracted, as if ready to pounce on some invisible enemy, his fur was bristled making his tail resemble that of a squirrel, ears were flat against his head and his teeth were barred. After half a breath he continued "Here's some news for you: THE CLAN DOESN'T HATE YOU" If they do, then he will have to fight some cats.
(literally the cat version of (ΰΈ'Μ-'Μ)ΰΈ rn xD This is not going to end well. RIP. Bouldersplash is literally the exact wrong guy for this.) (though we probably should have some plan to not have the conversation end with a literal fight xD)

Palemouse nodded her head in encouragement watching Emberpaw. Her eyes gleamed with pride. She always wanted to teach her apprentice this secret technique. Briefly Palemouse eyes flickered to the stream for a moment, seeing something shiny caught her eye. She didn't have time to react when the fish leapt out aiming for Emberpaw tail. Jumping slightly she stood bugged eyed βAre you okay Emberpaw did it bite you?β She asked. Pausing for a second she winced noticing how dumb the question was. Brushing it off, she glanced at the fish and then Emberpaw.βI guess it does? I mean you did use your tailβ.

DUCKFOOT Duckfoot was admittedly less than pleased at having to lead the morning's hunting patrol, considering he was a poor hunter on a good day. However, it was an order from Ashpelt so it wasn't as though he could disobey. He glanced around the camp, eyes drifting between his Clanmates as he tried to work out who would be best suited to accompany him. Willowpatch and Waspwing were good hunters but he couldn't spot either she-cat as he looked around. Hollycloud or Robinsong might be up for it, he considered. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced around for at least one of the two.
KITEPAW Kitepaw glanced up as Shadefang approached and immediately his chest was seized by nerves. "Are we going out with anybody else?" he asked quietly, his expression betraying his uncertainty. He spotted Snailpaw and- wait, Fogstar's out of his den? He hadn't seen the FogClan leader at all since the battle, and had been wondering about his well-being. The pair were seemingly headed towards them and Kitepaw gulped; Snailpaw had been avoiding him all moon, and he wasn't quite sure why. Maybe she's mad at me...But what did I do wrong?
SMOKEKIT "Coming!" Smokekit immediately bounded after his brother, his ears pricked and short tail stuck up straight in the air. "What are you going to teach us, pa?" he asked loudly, already beaming from ear to ear. He was so excited to learn from Flintfur; he could be like a real apprentice way before any of the other kits! Honeykit didn't know how to properly pounce yet, he thought, a smug grin creeping onto his face.

"Alright now, crouch down, keep your tails straight behind you kits." He mewed as he made his way out of the nursery and towards the clearing. They would be safe to practice here but he'd have to find something for them to pounce on, what could it be? He looked around and quickly ran off for a moment, returning with a piece of moss, he laid it down and stepped back waiting for them. "Make sure to step forward lightly, try not to make a sound."

(Sprucemask is just the right cat to fix this....Said no one ever) Sprucemask started laughing again,not looking at Bouldersplash."You really don't get it do you?You think cats will explain what they're thinking?That they'll just let you know when they leave something?You're the stupidest cat on the face of the Earth if you live that way.Maybe it didn't occur to you,maybe it didn't register,but not all cats are the same.We don't have the same mindset.You just stroll in here all torn up because I solved my own problem my own way and then have the audacity to blame it on me."By this point he had turned around and was glaring at Bouldersplash with something in his eyes.It wasn't the same baleful look they usually had."I don't think the clan hates me.No no,I don't.I think that their way of thinking is wack.I think they need to learn not to hold everyone to the same standard as some of the others."The brown tom then walked over to the tree,falling at its roots.

"Of course I should have known that is the way you deal with me. What a piece of foxdung I am." Bouldersplash retorted sarcastically, his voice rising even more "You never explain how you think so OF COURSE NO ONE IS GOING TO KNOW when you decide to leave a conversation! We cant just read your mind like some super-cat!" He took a few more steps forward till he was standing a single mouse-length from Sprucemask "Of COURSE I don't think ever cat is the same, if they were OUR CLAN WOULD BE GONE. That is WHY I am asking YOU to explain your thoughts. Oh and I wouldn't have asked you to explain your thoughts if I was certain I knew what was going on in your head you mousebrain. I would have just been 'la-di-dah he probably just going to go catch some birds' if I thought that way." He could only get angrier at his next comment "Oh so you get upset when someone says your way of thinking is different, but you go right ahead and do the same to them. Oh let's talk about this double standard, why don't we" He laughed, turning around just a bit before facing Sprucemask once more "If you think their way of thinking is wack, why don't you ask them how they think? It would make things a WHOLE lot easier for you to understand your clanmates. If they get pissed at you for asking that, I'll fight someone just let me know" At this point, Bouldersplash had lost any filter he once had, relying on pure instinct when replying to this conversation.

Emberpaw laughed a bit, putting the fish next to the one that Palemouse had caught "just to be sure I'm going to try to catch one normally" she barely said between the spurts of embarrassed laughter. She prayed that no cat would ask her how she caught that fish, and if they did she could think of some believable story that didn't involve her being assaulted. She peered by the water, hesitating on putting her tail back towards it in case another fish decides to make lunch out of her fur again. She slowly let it fall back towards the water, flinching back slightly as she felt the gentle stream. Pleasepleaseplease don't go after her tail while she was distracted.

"What was that?I think I heard a little nagging voice telling me he actually gives a shit about what's going through my head.That's real funny,considering the fact that he thinks he's in the right."Spurcemask looked up at Bouldersplash."DO YOU THINK I DON'T EXPLAIN MY THINKING?DO YOU THINK I'D BE STUPID ENOUGH AS TO START TALKING TO ANYONE WITHOUT THEM FIRST KNOWING HOW I THINK?Think back to all those moons ago,after every liter was born I'd tell them my thinking.That the way you guys perceive things is different than mine.YOU WERE THERE MOUSEBRAIN!YOU'VE HEARD HOW MY THINKING WORK AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES!BUT THE FACT THAT YOU USE MY LACK OF ADRESSING SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN DRILLED INTO YOUR HEAD BY NOW AS AN EXCUSE TO GET MAD IS A LOAD OF FOX DUNG.YOU THINK I CAN'T TELL WHEN I'M TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO'S LOST THEIR BRAIN WITH THEIR TEMPER!?LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU:MY.BRAIN.IS.SO.LOST.THAT.WHEN.OTHERS.LOSE.THEIR.MINDS.I.STILL.THINK.STRAIGHT."He climbed weakly up the tree and settled down in a split in the branches."I'm sorry,friend,this mouse brain wasn't supposed to follow me."The tom stroked a baby rabbit's head while it shivered from all the noise."Everything's all right.It'll be just fine."He reassured the rabbit,his voice wavering."Then you can help me find my stick"

Something must have snapped in Bouldersplash cause his fur calmed down and he resumed a more relaxed stance "You think I remember that? As a kit? really?" He laughed shaking his head, that's it. He didn't care anymore "You know, you do a good job pushing blame on others, at least I acknowledge that my temper gets the better of me and I know it's my fault." Bouldersplash turned around and started to walk away "Also" His voice rose a bit to make sure Sprucemask heard him "One of these days, the clan is just going to give up on you. One of these days you won't have the excuse of 'you all should know' because no one is going to care. The only cat you will have to blame for it is yourself" With that he gave up, leaving the clearing to go do better things with his time.

Palemouse's whiskers twitched in amusement."Just keep your eyes on the stream don't look nowhere else." Backing away she partially covered their catch with grass ,and dirt. It's best to be safe than sorry she thought to herself. She turned back settling tail-length away,"Focus Emberpaw" Palemouse whispered.

Sprucemask turned his head."I guess you didn't listen to the other times I said it then."He then picked up the rabbit and retreated into a hole in the tree."Just don't think it's going to be the clan that gave up first."He laughed,not caring if he wasn't heard.
