Hawkpaw padded over to Emberpaw and curled up beside her, pressing her side against her sister comfortingly, “It’s not just your fault Emberpaw. We’re both to blame for our recklessness.” She mewed quietly, ears flattening against her head and eyes staring down at her paws.. “I… I was so scared I was going to lose you, and I didn’t want to leave you alone there. I’m sorry I left you alone, Emberpaw.” She whispered. Firepaw stood up and gave a shrug of his shoulders, “It’s fine. What are we doing today?” He asked, ready to get out camp for awhile. The recent tension in the apprentice den had made things a bit uncomfortable and some time away would definitely be nice. Frostlight was laying in a patch of sunlight, resting after a recent border patrol. Her eyes roamed around the camp lazily, wondering where Withermist had gone off to. “If you hadn’t, I would have been the one dead.” Emberpaw murmured, not wanting her sister to feel like she had any blame. After all, Hawpaw had wanted to go down many times, and Emberpaw hadn’t headed her sister’s nervousness. Instead, Emberpaw tried not to think about how a part of her wishes it had been her who fell, not Spiritstar. “You did the right thing.” “Climbing lessons. I know with… what happened, the Clan is weary right now, but it only motivates me to want to make sure you are prepared for anything. So, we’ll see your progress on your climbing.” Buzzardfall explained. Withermist was still glancing towards the nursery, paw still brushing past his own belly every few moments. His smoky silver eyes seemed locked into an uncomfortable sort of wonder, before he finally seemed to snap out of his trance. He could feel eyes on him. Turning, he caught Frostlight’s eyes with his own, and he tilted his head softly from the shade of the high ledge. |

"A lot of fun to be around," Warblerpaw chimed in. "Well, whoever it is, they'll have to pass my judgement to be allowed the honor of being my great mentor's mate!" he joked. "I really haven't thought about it. Toms, she-cats, any cat at all... I guess they're all cool," he said. "I've just been so focused on training and being the best!"

"I really haven't thought about it. Toms, she-cats, any cat at all... I guess they're all cool," he said. "I've just been so focused on training and being the best!" “Well. Just know, that you never have to rush. In fact, if you end up never wanting a mate, that’s perfectly fine too! I’m convinced Poppyclaw has never wanted a mate. He’s always been handsome, but… untouchable.” Plumwillow gave a small and slightly guilty glance. “But I can’t assume, of course. So, I can’t tell Shadespots that her quick glances just might not amount to much. I’m a gossip, I know. It’s a bad habit! So, please don’t mention anything, at least until I can say for certain!” She explained, before her head turned quickly at the sound of rustling underbrush. |

Warblerpaw was about to admit that gossip was his favorite, call him shallow, when the noise of the brush moving caught his attention, too. His head whipped toward the sound, green eyes laser-focused and ears straight forward. His muscles were coiled like an adder ready to strike.

Willowkit was crouched in the nursery, her eyes wide as she soaked in the darkness. 'Where was she? Who were these cats?' Millions of questions raced through her mind, the young kitten would've tried escaping, but seeing how many muscular cats were there...she didn't want to try. Plus, they brought her food.

(For thistle and @angelfire) Plumwillow waited for the noise to come closer, eyes brightened as she spotted the bushy tail of a squirrel. It looked like Starclan was certainly being kind to them today. She flicked her tail towards it, nodding for Warblerpaw to prepare himself while she attempted to circle around and spook it towards him. --- "You're staring again!" Sunnykit giggled as she paused in her tussle with her mossball to look at Willowkit quizzically. While Willowkit was older than her, Sunnykit knew that her mother had let Willowkit into her nest when she appeared on the territory and was brought to camp. Sunnykit tilted her head. "Did something spook you? Was it a beetle?" She exclaimed. |

MoonblazerThe she-kit pounced, tail swishing back and forth as her muscular body fell upon the younger cat. "A warrior knows when to strike!" She hissed playfully, her eyes glowing with mischief. The shadows darkened her blue coat, and she felt her heart race, as if she was in a real battle.

Ledgekit watched them quietly from Tricklefrost’s nest, nice and comfortable in his spot. |

Warblerpaw flicked his ear, sinking into a crouch against the patchy earth. Though SkyClan cats didn't stalk like ThunderClan, he still knew how to blend seamlessly into his surroundings. He waited, pupils narrowed to slits as Plumwillow traced a wide arc around the squirrel.

Plumwillow positioned herself before she crouched low, and sprang up into an arch, purposefully missing to startle the squirrel right towards Warblerpaw’s clever hiding place. |

MoonblazerWillowkit purred and bounded away, squeezing away from her littermate's grasp. "Can't catch me!" She teased, sticking out her tongue. She was a fluffy blur as she leaped towards the entrance, kicking up loose pebbles and dirt as she ran.

Pond padded in the new forest she had stumbled upon. She found it strange as it looked much different then the normal forests she wandered in. She stumbled forward, tripping over a rock. There are sure plenty of them here, Pond thought to herself. Her stomach rumbled, informing her that it was time to hunt. Her gaze shifted to the ground around her as she crouched and searched for mice. Suddenly, she scented prey overhead. She stood up and looked up. A bird fluttered ahead. Hey, a bird would do just fine as well she thought as she crouched back and thrusted herself into the air. Pond stretched out a paw that she threw onto the bird. She unsheathed her claws as she fell to the ground. She landed and killed the bird with a swift bite. Her paw rested on her prey as she suddenly smelled a unfamiliar scent closing on her.

From behind her, Tricklefrost looked up calmly from her nest, though her voice was light and stern as she called. "Don't stray far! And I don't want to hear any of the cats in the clan coming to me saying that you two disrupted any clan work, got it?" She shook her head with a sigh, yet it was clear there was fondness in her eyes for the kits. |

Moonblazer"Mhmm!" She purred, bouncing quickly off the stone walls and to Tricklefrost. "Can we go explore the camp if we don't bother anycat?" Willowkit asked, scratchng behind and ear, it flopped to one side, it was still itchy. Her paws tapped as anxiously awaited her foster mother's response.

Tricklefrost hummed, standing to her paws as she stretched for a moment, before she gently nudged Ledgekit and Rainkit up. "We can all go out and explore together. I need some air, anyway. That way I can make sure you two don't go running off into the medicine den." She mewed knowingly, looking down at Sunnykit and Willowkit. Sunnykit mewed brightly. "Yay! You're coming with us, mama?" "Sure. Why not." Tricklefrost humored, flicking her daughter's nose with her long tail. |

“I’m glad you’re okay, Emberpaw.” Hawkpaw mewed, giving her sister’s shoulder a lick.
Firepaw gave a nod, following after his mentor, “Where are we going to practice?” He asked, looking at Buzzardfall.
Frostlight gave a yawn and stood up, stretching her legs out as she got up from her spot. Giving a shake of her white fur, she padded towards Withermist, “What are you up to?” She mewed, settling down beside him.
Rainkit was curled up next to her mother, watching as Sunnykit and Willowkit play.

Her dark gold eyes glowing as she looked around camp. "So beautiful!" She squeled, instantly dashing around to look and sniff at everything.

Rainkit was curled up next to her mother, watching as Sunnykit and Willowkit play. "I'm glad you're okay, Hawkpaw." Emberpaw admitted, more than anything, she was glad that Hawkpaw hadn't had to be in that kind of danger, or be responsible for Spiritstar losing two lives. She appreciated her sister's comfort, but her heart still ached deeply as she stared forwards. "Well. There's not all that much left to show you, really." Buzzardfall admitted with a sudden hint of seriousness and wistfulness, as though already missing their time together. "I want to see just how well you can climb before you face your greatest challenge yet. The assessment of climbing Sky Oak." She admitted, looking at Firepaw. "I hope you know, that I've been so proud to be your mentor so far." Withermist was silent for a long moment, before his raspy voice whispered out. "Mmm. Briarpatch. I think... hm..." He trailed off thoughtfully before he spoke again, pawing at his belly. "Something here. Um. I don't... it feels like a sharp stone. Bad?" He tried to make word of what he was feeling, before he frowned softly. Tricklefrost looked back at Ledgekit and Rainkit, flicking her tail with a small hum. "Come on you two. We can sleep later. Sunnykit and Willowkit will get into everything if we don't keep an eye on them." She snorted lightly, knowing her more shy kits probably needed to get out more. "Okay." Ledgekit shrugged, lifting to his paws and scampering quietly after his mother. |

Sunnykit caught up to Willowkit, looking at the older kit with a bright look. She often found herself trailing after Willowkit, or getting into adventures with her. The camp was peaceful, even while Spiritstar was recovering in the medicine den. |

Moonblazer Willowkit tapped her paw against her chin, her eyes flickering between the warriors' and elders' dens, before she jumped up and started hopping towards the warriors' den. "C'mon!" She shouted, even though she had already been just beside her foster sister, but now she was leaps and bounds away. "We can probably learn something interesting!"

Hawkpaw flicked her ear, resting her head on her paws, “Did Spiritstar say anything before she left?” She asked, looking at Emberpaw.
Firepaw blinked at Buzzardfall, not used to seeing her so serious. “Yeah. I know.” He said, giving a flick of his tail, “I’m glad you were my mentor, Buzzardfall.” He added a bit awkwardly, the grumpy apprentice having never really been one to be sentimental.
Frostlight tilted her head and looked over at the nursery before turning her gaze back to Withermist, “Are you worried about Briarpatch’s kits?” She asked him, blinking.
Rainkit huffed and got to her paws, following after her mother and siblings. The little pale grey and white kit would much rather stay in her nest then to socialize with the others.

You’ll probably be made a Warrior without me, I’ll be held back.” Emberpaw murmured lightly, before shaking her head. “It… it’s okay though. I deserve it.” She averted her eyes once again, defeated but accepting. “But, she was glad that I was okay. I just… don’t understand why, I… Hawkpaw, it’s all my fault she…” She choked. Buzzardfall brightened at that, purring deeply. “Thank you, Firepaw. You’ll be ready for your assessment in no time. Let’s go see how well you can climb the more difficult trees.” “The kitsss…” Withermist hummed, extending the word thoughtfully, before he suddenly shook his head sharply. “No no. Uhm… Her. Briarpatch. For her.” He corrected, now shifting anxiously before he looked at Frostlight and purred softly. “I’m happy to see you. Makes me feel better.” “It won’t be long, Rainkit.” Tricklefrost promised as she slowly followed Sunnykit and Willowkit’s movements with her eyes. She looked down at her son and daughter, offering. “Would you like to try solid prey? You both should certainly be old enough now to start.” |

Moonblazer "Yeah!" She leaped after Sunnykit, her ears and tail low as she pushed herself into the den. It was dark, much darker than the nursery. "I'm almost an apprentice, so he will defiantly have to say yes!" She boasted, puffing out her chest and raising her stubby tail.

(Sounds good! I'll wait for thistle to respond and they can spot Pond!) "And it's two against one, so-" Sunnykit exclaimed, only to give a breathless "oof" as she bumped right into the side of a flank. The mound of fur she ran into slowly rose to his paws, yawning deeply, only to blink wide-eyed at the kits. Cobrafang's long teeth quickly were hidden away behind his muzzle once more, to not frighten the kits. He gave a small chuckle. "Looks like we've got some invaders in the Warrior's den. Does Tricklefrost know you two have swooped the nest again?" He asked, humored and gentle with the kits. |

"That's right! We can do anything we like since we're Warriors!" Sunnykit puffed her chest, only to puff out her cheeks and pout when Tricklefrost's calm voice called from the den entrance moments later. "I know they're here. Don't worry, Cobrafang. Besides, you've got no right to complain, you and I used to do the same thing when we were in the nursery together." The sassy Queen smirked as she looked at the tom. Cobrafang gave a humored roll of his eyes, remembering when he had played often with her, being that he had been the only kit in his mother's first litter, well before Quickwing and Blackfire were born and could keep him company. For a moment, he missed Lostwing deeply, as he spotted Rainkit near her mother, a near perfect image of him. "Yeah yeah. Why do you think I haven't scolded them like Poppyclaw would have? Watch out for him, you two. He can be real scary, with that serious face of his all the time." Cobrafang warned with a spooky tone to his voice, trying to keep the mood light. He purred. "Oh, great Warriors." |
