Jekyll oh goodness you're right lol)) Morninglight tried to dodge the water that came flying towards her face, but the water slowed her down, and she ended up getting water up her nose. "That was cheap!" she cried, bounding towards Bubblepop with her tail flicking, playfully chasing after her with laughter in her eyes.
Dovepaw blinked in understanding. "With my white fur, I'll have to hide in the white flowers that you did to hide myself and my scent," she murmured out loud, thinking through her strategy. She gave her mentor a sharp, determined nod before slinking off in the direction her mentor pointed her in. She opened her jaws, scents of the forest flooding her senses, but she was only focused on one. Canyonpaw. She caught a whiff of his scent and padded silently through the forest, making sure she didn't step on any loud leaves or brittle sticks.
Hawkflight nodded respectfully as he watched Dustpaw catch the vole. "Give thanks to StarClan for this gift. Bury it and try for some fish. If you need instructions, just ask." While Morninglight was off doing whatever she was doing, Hawkflight felt responsibility for this apprentice. Bubblepop laughed loudly as she moved fluidly through the water, her training as an Oceanclan cat helping her as she easily made her way through the liquid without it hindering her movement much. "You're gonna have to move faster than that Morninglight! Remember, I was trained in these waters!" She thought for a few moments before adding in, "Try lifting you paws above the water each time you take a step, but be sure you're toes are still in it. That'll make it easier to run and make you faster in it!" ---- Blessedflower gave a sharp nod and rushed off to a nearby tree, climbing up it's trunk before hurtling herself silently through the trees toward Canyonpaw's scent. Upon spotting the tom she hunkered down in a thick area of oak leaves and watched intently. The brown tom was currently a few tail lengths away, his eyes trained on a mouse that was nibbling at some seeds at the bottom of an ash tree on the other side of the clearing. ---- "Okay Hawkflight!" Quickly burying the vole the she-cat scampered up to the edge of the water and sat down, her eyes watching the fish that were darting beneath. She waited a few moments before striking out but her shadow had fallen on the water and she moved to slowly, the fish darting away with time to spare and causing the she-cat to come up empty pawed.

"Sounds like you need a nap." Minty joked as she twitches her tail back and forth slowly. "If you want, you can nap in my garden. It's pretty quiet place and my twolegs most likely wouldn't bother you."

Hawkeyes258 Jekyll Sure thing!)) King flicked his tail warily. "I dunno, I kinda like my freedom and wouldn't want them to take me in..." but his sleepiness won over him as he gazed at the garden. The soil looked soft and comfortable and it was nice and shady, so he wouldn't get too hot. "Maybe just a little nap." He conceeded.

Newsand was padding through the thick undergrowth that lined the territory beside the two-leg place, her jaws to draw scents over her glands as her ears were pricked to catch any sounds. The she-cat had ready hunted for the clan today and so now was out for herself, looking for a plump albino squirrel she had seen in this area a few days back. Finally she saw a flash of white and the scent of squirrel hit her, causing the she-cat to immediately hit the ground and begin to creep toward the creature that had stopped by a large bush and was pulling berries off of it. Her mouth was salivating at the thought of the sweet, soft, nutty flesh that she loved so much. Upon reaching a tail-length of space between herself and the prey she stopped, putting her strength into her back legs and shooting forward as quick as a snake, her jaws closing on the squirrel before it knew what was even happening. Purring in delight she picked up the white furred squirrel and began to head to find a nice sunny spot to eat, her pawsteps taking her closer to the two-leg place in the process.

Jekyll I was thinking about King's backstory a little. Maybe Newsand was a loner or rogue before and had a different name? Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense as to why he knows her. I was thinking they could have been friends in the past and King had always had a little crush on her but never told her. Then something happened and they were forced apart and King has been trying to find her ever since?? If you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them!)) Before King could jump down into the Two-leg garden, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent. He stood, rigid, his ears pricked and jaws open. Flicking his tail to Minty, King leaped off the fence in the direction of the forest, his eyes wide. His mind raced with the memories of his past, shock rippling through his fur as he realized where he remembered the scent from. It was a little different now, mixed with other cats and forest life, but it was her. He guaranteed it.

I can have it that she was stolen from the clan as a kit and lived as a loner before learning of her true past and so left to find her brother and her clan that she had been taken from. Her name as a loner will have been Vinata.)) Newsand had found a fat, smooth rock that was in the path of a beam of sunlight. Laying down on the warm stone she purred as the sunlight soaked into her fur as she got omfortable and laid her catch in front of her. "Now this is a great day to be out and about." The she-cat muttered her words before beginning to eat.

Jekyll Sounds good!)) King raced through the undergrowth, his tiredness seeping from his body as the scent grew stronger and stronger. He knew it was her. It had to be her. Vinata, he thought as his paws thrummed on the ground. it's been so long. Vinata. He got to a gap in the trees, sliding on the soft grass as he screeched to a stop. There she was, lying atop a flat rock eating a squirrel. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with emotion, and he backed away, turning tail and running far enough away that she wouldn't see him. His heart was thumping so loud, he was sure she could hear it, but he couldn't face her. It was too hard.

Honeyshine panted as she raced to catch up with the first hunting patrol, her paws leading her towards the Cascades where it was mentioned they would be. She keeps her pawsteps light, not wanting to scare away the prey they were about to catch, she also began to slow down the closer she got. Finally arriving at the falls, the ginger and white she-cat glanced around for Hawkflight, finding him and approaching the tom. "Alfalfaweevil sent me to join your patrol, I hope that's alright." She told him, panting between her words. Honeyshine wasn't sure why she was asking his permission as this was the deputy's decision, but it was just in her nature. The young molly added a smile after she finished talking, as if that would save her from Hawflight's bluntness, the sun glinting in her amber eyes and making them look more golden.

Newsand didn't hear the tom's heartbeat, but she did hear his pawsteps when he had come close and then ran off once more. Her nerves went on edge and she hid her lunch under a small lip of the stone she was lounging on before standing and beginning to follow the scent that had been left by the cat. It seemed familiar but she couldn't quite place it, her entire being only knowing that they were trespassing. There was a line of bushes between herself and the tom when she halted, her fur spiking and her claws out as she bared her teeth and spoke strongly. "Who's there?! You're trespassing on Sunclan territory and need to leave now!"

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 )) Hawkflight's eyes moved over the she-cat. "Fine," he said simply, turning back to the water. After a moment, he swiveled his head towards Honeyshine. "You can begin hunting any time," he meowed, his voice scathingly blunt. He never purposely tried to be harsh, but it always came out that way. "The prey won't leap into your paws."

Jekyll )) King's eyes widened. She had grown much fiercer than he remembered, but then again, she didn't know it was him. King smoothed down his fur, trying to look as non-threatening as possible. Slowly, he crept from his spot in the bushes, his heart quickening as he saw her once more. He didn't dare say anything to her; she may have forgotten him. Instead, he kept his tail low and submissive, eyes glancing up to meet hers.

"K-King... is it really you? I... haven't seen you since I left to find my birth home."

Honeyshine’s tail-tip twitches and she nods her head, her good eye widening just a bit as she smiles. She sort of just stands there for a moment until Hawkflight addresses her once more. Her fur raises a bit in surprise and she looks sheepishly at the tom. “Yes, sorry, Hawkflight” The younger she-cat said with a grin, bolting off and choosing to go further into the forest to find prey instead of fishing. Honeyshine opened her mouth slightly, nose to the air as she took in the scents around her. Her ear twitches as she catches on to the scent of a squirrel. Her paws move quickly as she follows the scent, soon spotting the fluffy-tailed creature perched on the forest floor. Honeyshine crouches down and stalks forward, her eye trained on her prey. Without the squirrel suspecting it, the small molly leaped forward, paws outstretched and scooping it up so she can deliver a bite to the squirrels neck, killing it instantly. Now with the dead squirrel in her mouth, Honeyshine trots over to the others to bury her prey, sending a silent thanks to Starclan.

Jekyll)) King's whiskers twitched as Vinata recognized him. He began to purr, wrapping his body around hers. "I thought I'd never see you again! I've been looking for you everywhere -" King stopped. "You smell different. Does that mean you've found them? You've found your family?" He took a small step back, not wanting to take her from her home once again.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight nodded in praise. "Good catch. But if you want to be a SunClan warrior, you should learn how to fish. Dustpaw here is learning as well." He flicked his tail towards the apprentice. "You can learn with her if necessary." He didn't want to be an acting mentor to both of these she-cats, especially since one of them was a full grown warrior, but if it was for the good of the Clan, he was willing to do whatever it takes.

Minty was tempted to race after King but decided against it. She decided to wait in case the handsome tom decides to return. She had briefly smelled another cat nearby and wondered if maybe he was going to talk to him or her.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 )) Hawkflight was too focused on his own task to care about Honeyshine any longer. He waited patiently at the edge of the bank, his tail wrapped nicely around his paws. He had one paw raised, poised to strike, but before he could swing his paw down and snatch a fish out of the water, a splash from nearby caught his attention. He snapped his gaze towards Honeyshine, annoyance prickling at his fur. "If you needed someone to teach you how to fish, you could have just asked," he snipped, his eyes narrowing. "Thanks to your mistake, you've cost not only me, but the entire Clan two pieces of fresh-kill today!"

Honeyshine flinched as Hawkflight came her way, raising his voice at her. She feels her chest tighten, the fur on the back of her neck beginning to raise as she takes a couple of pawsteps back. Normally, Honeyshine would concede and apologize, not one to be confrontational. However, a spark of confidence surged through the young she-cat. "I don't need someone to teach me! I am perfectly capable of fishing and was one of the best fishers in my clan!" Honeyshine argues back, her tail bristling. "It's not fair for you to put that kind of blame on me, we all make mistakes, Hawkflight. I'm sure you've made some before, even in your seasons of being warrior. Why...Why can't you just stop acting like you're so much better than everyone!" Honeyshine huffed, taking a moment to inhale slowly and forcing her fur to lie flat. After her head has cleared a little she frowns and starts to tuck her tail, avoiding his gaze. "Hawkflight I, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have had an outburst like that...It's just I've been...struggling lately, I guess. And I'm sorry." She's not sure if that's enough but she braces herself for his sharp tone once more.

"You smell different. Does that mean you've found them? You've found your family?" He took a small step back, not wanting to take her from her home once again. The she-cat looked back at where she had been eating before leading the way over. "Come along, I'll tell you everything that happened after we parted ways." Settling down the she-cat pulled out her albino squirrel and ate a bite of it before launching into her story. "As you know my 'mother' finally came clean about kitnapping me from my original home with a large clan of cats because she wasn't able to have kits of her own. I was furious and left her behind to find my real home and my real family... parting ways with you in the process. I traveled for moons, only stopping to eat, drink, or to get a quick rest. By the time I reached this land I was exhausted and had seen enough to last several lifetimes, and yet I pushed on. I found my way to Sandclan, which is one of the four clans that were in the area when I arrived." The she-cat paused in her story and took a bite of her meal, pushing it toward King afterwards as a signal that he was welcome to have some as well. Swallowing, she continued. "The cats were hostile at first but I wouldn't give in and I forced them to allow me to speak. I told them of my past, my life, and everything I had gone through on my journey to make it back to my true home. The leader found that my story reminded him of something that had happened in the clan and through a process of questioning and investigation, we found out that it was Sandclan I was stolen from. I was part of a litter of two and after I was stolen my parents searched for two moons for me before succumbing to sickness and hunger, having refused any help at finding their lost kit. They left my brother with no one in the process, but then I came home. My brother's name is Fallengale and he's the fastest cat in these lands! My mother was called Newmoon while my father's name was Sandydune. In rememberance of them I asked to be renamed Newsand and I've lived here with the clan and my brother ever since." The she-cat took a breath and took a bite of the squirrel once more, chewing the soft meat as she looked at King, waiting for his response to what happened to her and to her new name.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Is this a budding romance I see??)) Hawkflight froze at Honeyshine's outburst, his lashing tail settling and his bristling fur flattening. No cat had ever spoken back to him like that. As he looked at her, his eyes softened, and he went to her side. "I'm sorry for being so harsh with you," he meowed gently. "I just want the Clan to eat well, that's all. You scared my fish away too, so I got a little angry, but I have faith in your abilities." Hawkflight dipped his head in a deep, respectful manner. "Please forgive me."

Jekyll)) King's chest tightened as he heard Vinata tell her story. She seemed so happy to be back - he didn't want to take her away from that. "That's... wonderful, Vina- I mean, Newsand." The name felt foreign on his tongue. "I'm glad you found your brother. I bet he was happy to see you." Regret began filling him from his paws to his ears. "I don't want to keep you. I should be heading out now."
