Softpaw Softpaw was acutely aware of the tom's change in comfort level, being someone who was also usually anxious she was able to very easily pick out the telltale signs of discomfort and she immediately felt bad for breaking the peaceful silence the two were sharing. Her gaze fell to her small grey paws as he spoke feeling terrible for putting Windpaw into a situation where he felt uncomfortable. Despite her own feelings she found herself nodding along as the other tom spoke, she had also been awed by the sheer amount of territory the clan held, her first time out of the camp was an experience that she would have a hard time forgetting. As Windpaw returned her question back to her the molly's head lifted slightly, "Uh, well it's been pretty good so far too. I'm not as good as my brother but I do enjoy hunting quite a lot." The she-cat found herself smiling as she began to talk about her passions. Pearkit Grunting as she tried to escape from underneath the weight of her brother Pearkit replied to her dad without even glancing at him as she was very focused on the task at hand, "Okie dokie Dad!" As her fate was sealed as she was pinned sharply beneath Stagkit and he proclaimed his victory she pouted momentarily before breaking into a wide grin, "Fiine, but I'm still smarter than you! You can be the muscles and I'll be the brain." Her tiny face suddenly lit up, "We would be unstoppable!" She broke into a fit of laughter, her tiny voice bouncing ff the nursery's walls as her joy bubbled out. As her giggling died down she tilted her head as she stared up at her brother a mischievous smile dancing on her face, "Well, are you going to let me up or do I have to tattle?" Moosecharge Sensing his mate's hesitation, Moosecharge rested his tail comfortingly against her side and pressed his nose into her cheek, "If they have half the strength you do I know that they will be fine." His voice was soft but his purring rumbled loudly from deep within his chest. Moving a tail length away and glancing back at his mate he smiled encouragingly, "Let's go for a walk Eveningbreeze, I know you miss the feeling of the forest floor beneath your paws." Rockshard Rockshard had a hard time believing what Owlstar said but he decided to drop the subject and move on to something else. Bringing his focus back to the patrol and glanced around the camp for anyone who might be able to accompany them. His gaze very quickly fell on his beautiful mate and he couldn't help but purr. He was so incredibly happy to be raising a family with his childhood best friend and the love of his life, he found himself thanking StarClan for every day he got to spend by her side. Noticing Addersmoke by her side the deputy felt a slight pang in his chest but he very quickly brushed it aside, they were just friends. "Cherryleaf, Addersmoke, do you want to join Owlstar and I for a morning hunting patrol?" His purr was very evident as he spoke and his heart fluttered slightly at the idea of being able to spend time with his mate once again, between the new duties as a deputy and the kits there wasn't much time for the two to spend together. Featherflight Laughing heartily at the younger warrior's comment Featherflight couldn't help but smile. As someone who thrived off of her companionship with others this conversation gave the grey molly such life. "Please let me know if you ever need help with that, I haven't been a pest to my brother for a long time. Funny how growing older and starting a family and becoming a deputy changes someone." Her voice trailed off as her gaze fell to her brother as he crossed the clearing in stride with Owlstar. Her gaze fell to the ground for a moment before she turned back to Batnose, her bright smile once again returning to her face. "Are you and your siblings close?"

Heathernose shakes her head at this. "If it happens again, Owlstar should address the clan and possibly set up a guard or two." This was her suggestion at least. The clan needed these herbs! She takes a few more bites out of her mouse before pulling back to chew.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Firehawk lets out a small huff and straightens himself up. He gives his paw a few licks before swiping his paw over his head and ears. Firehawk glances around one more time before heading towards the entrance. Might as well go out and hunt right? His goal was to find the biggest and fastest piece of prey he could find.

Rockshard Out of the corner of his eye Rockshard noticed Firehawk beginning to slip out of camp by himself. Taking a couple strides after the other warrior, the deputy flicked his tail in greeting, "Firehawk! A group of us are about to depart on a hunting patrol, would you care to join us?" A part of Rockshard was impressed with how easily talking to others came to him now, prior to meeting Cherryleaf and the rouge attack he would have never in his wildest dreams been able to do something like that. If he had been told all those moons ago that this was the cat he would become one day, he would have never believed it.

Oakheart
"I'm so proud of them," Oakheart mewed. He glanced over and, with a start, recognized the signs that Raincloud's anxiety was bubbling up, trying to take hold and pulled her close. "What's on your mind?" he asked gently, licking her ears. Orchidbloom
Orchidbloom nodded. "Yea, we're going to need to act fast," she mewed, flicking her tail. "I've heard coughing in the warrior den recently."
Stagkit "Oh yea?" Stagkit leaped off his sister with a laugh. "We'll be unstoppable! Let's make up a team name!" He said, excitedly bouncing around.
Eveningbreeze
With her mates' kind and comforting words in mind, Eveningbreeze nodded. "You're right. And Carrotleaf and Dovebreeze are right inside," she mewed, almost as if talking to herself. She smiled at her kits and licked the one last time before nodding to Moosecharge to lead the way- and to do so quickly before her mother instincts took over again.Owlstar Owlstar looked around at the cats who had gathered for the hunting patrol "While we're out," he mewed, "let's keep an eye out for any catmint. Snowfall's supplies are gone and we have a few cats with coughs. With the wet season here, these coughs can quickly turn into Greencough." Pumawhisker Pumawhisker thought for a moment and then nodded. "Yes, um.. thank you for sharing," he mewed. The long, lanky tom practically slithered off the warriors' den not unlike a snake. He sat beside Cloverleap and took a bite of the mouse.

Swallowpaw with Boulderpaw and Snowfall || Forest
Snowfall didn't notice Boulderpaw was speaking as she was a bit a head of the two apprentices, leading the way. She knew they'd simply tap her if there was any trouble or if they needed to ask her something. As for Swallowpaw, she looked to her denmate like he was insane. "What do you mean," she started off with a small chuckle, "you're not ready to be a warrior. If you are, then so am I we're the same age after all." The she-cat's head titled slightly, mostly in confusion. Why did he feel the need to bring that up now? They weren't even discussing warrior-ship.
Flameflicker with Honeyhawk || Camp
Flameflicker took only a few more moments to reach the ground. Landing with a short "oof" and a few pawsteps from his friend. Taking in couple of deep breaths as he trots over to her "You look awfully bored, did it take me that long?" he asked, sitting down next to her, catching his breath. He wasn't too far worn out though, and if Honeyhawk still wanted to go out and hunt for a bit, he'd surely be up for it.

Firehawk turned his head towards Rockshard and listens to his proposition. "Sure, I don't mind coming along." He said twitching the tip of his tail. Going with a group was better than hunting alone. "Who is apart of this patrol?" Firehawk questioned wondering who he would be hunting with.
Heathernose had heard the coughing but figured it was just a cold. She would have to keep an eye on her health. She wasn't as young as she used to be. "I'll keep an eye out that might be useful." Heathernose had no idea what she would be looking for but she would try to look for something.

Cloverleap - w/ Pumawhisker
Cloverleap smiled softly as she watched Pumawhisker take a bite, happy to see her invite to share the meal wasn’t too weird. Her positive reaction was short lived as she wondered how to continue their conversation. What else is there to talk about? The weather? she thought before rolling her eyes at herself at the basic suggestion. Well, they had just been talking about fighting practice, so maybe it would just be easier to keep with the topic? Before her brain had time to think about what she was going to say, Cloverleap blurted out, “Do you want to practice together one day?” Her heart began to pound, why had she just extended another invitation to spend more time with another cat? She would never trust herself to have a conversation again.

Pearkit Pearkit's small pink nose crinkled up slightly as she lost herself in thought. Now that she had declared herself the smarter one of the two the pressure was on when it came to offering up a name worthy of their fame. "Umm, how abooout..." her voice trailed off as her mind scrambled trying to grasp at straws and think of a very clever name. 'Stag-Pear? Pear-Stag? Peag? Stear? Pinky and the Brain?' She wasn't entirely sure where the last name idea came from. Her multi-coloured eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of what she believed was the best name idea ever, "Stare! It's like stag and pear combined but, like, an actual word!" She beamed happily as she basked in the glory of her clever idea.Moosecharge With a slight spring in his step Moosecharge bounded out of the nursery casting a glance over his should to make sure Eveningbreeze was following, his smile widening as he saw her familiar white pelt emerging from the den's entrance. Rushing to her side he pressed his cheek against her forehead before motioning towards the camp's exit. The burly tom was acting like a young apprentice in love and he loved it. Before meeting Eveningbreeze he would have looked down at anyone he saw acting like this but now he was in their paws and completely understand the feeling of being completely lost in love with someone else and he never wanted things to change. Rockshard The deupty nodded lightly as Firehawk accepted his invitation and began meandering back to the group as he answered the other tom's question, "Owlstar, myself, you and possibly Adderheart and Cherryleaf." As they neared the group Rockshard caught Owlstar's request and made a mental note to keep his eyes open, the clan needed all the herbs they could get, especially if Owlstar's cough was worse than what the older tom was passing it off as.

So sorry these kind of suck) Orchidbloom
"I'll let Snowfall know that you're going to help out," Orchidbloom mewed with a nod. "Hey, do you want to go for a walk or something?" she asked, feeling a bit restless.
Eveningbreeze
Eveningbreeze purred, laughing as her mate bounced around excitedly. As she exited camp she let out a deep breath, feeling a weight leave her body and she too, began to bounce along at her mates' side.Pumawhisker Pumawhisker looked at the shecat and nodded. "I would like that," he mewed truthfully, "we can go now, if you like." He took the last few bites of the prey and sat up to groom his fur.

Moosecharge Falling in pace beside his mate and feeling her snowy white press against his own the large tom sighed happily. This was his happy place, walking through the forest with Eveningbreeze by his side, and he had missed this. He steered the two of them slowly towards the hill that they had rolled down all those moons ago. The sun filtered through the leaves of the tree canopy above them and dappled their coats as they walked and he couldn't take his eyes off of Eveningbreeze, "I'm so lucky to have you in my life, you're gorgeous."

Eveningbreeze
"Aww you are so sweet," Eveningbreeze purred, rubbing her side against Moosecharge's. She was grateful to have this moment together as mates instead of as parents. When the kits were around they took all her energy and focus, having inherited her rambunctious spirit. Though the four of them often spent time together as a family, Eveningbreeze often felt guilty that she neglected the one on one time spent with her mate. "I'm sorry I've been too busy with the kits to spend time with you," she mewed, "I've missed our walks."

Moosecharge "Please never apologize for being such an amazing mother to our kits. It's me who should be apologizing for not giving you more days off. All the responsibility shouldn't just fall onto your shoulders, we're a team." As she rubbed against him he softly licked the top of her head before looking ahead at the sight that slowly emerged as they pushed through the undergrowth. Smiling at her he arched his eyebrow mischievously, "Do you remember this hill? This is where I realized just how much you meant to me and that my life would never be the same."

"I'd like that." Heathernose takes a moment to finish her mouse and bury the remains before standing to her paws. She takes a moment to stretch and shake fur fur. "Ready to go?" She asked eager to get her paws moving. Heathernose wasn't sure where they would go but would let Orchidbloom lead the way.

"I seem to remember you not being a big fan rolling." "I'd like that." Heathernose takes a moment to finish her mouse and bury the remains before standing to her paws. She takes a moment to stretch and shake fur fur. "Ready to go?" She asked eager to get her paws moving. Heathernose wasn't sure where they would go but would let Orchidbloom lead the way. Orchidbloom nodded and walked out of camp. "How about down to the gorge? I could use some time sunning on the rocks if the river isn't too high," she mewed to her mother as they left camp behind.

Moosecharge "I might not have been a big fan of rolling, but I was a big fan of you." Letting himself relax and laugh, Moosecharge lightly bumped his mate with his burly shoulder, "Are you up for round two? Or has becoming a mother made you too serious for rolling down a hill? C'mon! Let go!" The large tom bounded over to the crest of the hill and lay down waiting for Eveningbreeze to join him.

Eveningbreeze
"Me, serious?" Eveningbreeze asked with a playful scoff, "Never!" She crouched beside Moosecharge and laid flat, before rolling herself down the hill, laughing all the way. Leaves and twigs stuck in her long, thick fur and poked a little but she didn't mind. She made a mental note to bring the kits out one day before their apprenticeship began.

Cloverleap - w/ Pumawhisker
Cloverleap’s eyebrows rose in surprise at Pumawhisker’s suggestion. She had already done her daily practice, but she supposed it wouldn’t hurt to squeeze in some extra practice. She felt much better after her meal and felt another surge of energy running through her body. But, the only thing stopping her from answering right away, was the fact that she would have to spend even more time with another cat. But we’ll be practicing for most of the time… Cloverleap thought to herself before giving a small nod. “Yeah, if you’re up for it,” the she-cat meowed, standing up and giving her fur a quick shake.

"I could use a good rest on the rocks." Heathernose remarked as they headed towards the gorge. She takes in a deep breath and exhales as the wind gently blows against her face. Heathernose loved this territory and hoped Sunclan would never travel again.

Orchidbloom
Orchidbloom turned her paws towards the gorge, following her mother. "With all this rain I wonder how high the rivier is going to be," she commented. She glanced up towards where the mountain loomed beside the territory, knowing Crestclans' rivers fed the one in the gorge. She wondered if the rains down here in Sunclan, ever affected their rivers too?Pumawhisker Pumawhisker stood and stretched his long, lanky body; his muscles rippling like snakes under his pelt. The tom nodded to Cloverleap, "whenever you're ready," he mewed, his voice returning to the smooth, syrupy purr he often used.

Owlstar Owlstar left camp one morning, his mind racing with multiple different trains of thought. He wanted to find prey for his clanmates who were beginning to go hungry as more cats getting sick meant fewer cats hunting. The most recent cat to fall ill was Carrotleaf, who was heartbroken to have to leave her kittens in the nursery but even more heartbroken when little Peachkit began showing symptoms and joined her in the medicine den.
Owlstar himself was ill and was not getting better in the slightest, though that was partly due to his refusal to accept the few herbs Snowfall could offer him, insisting she give those to another cat who needed it more. A cat who didn't have nine lives to fall back on like he did. Owlstar gave a growl and slapped the earth with his paw. It was times like these that he hated having the ability to come back after death that his clanmates did not. It was selfish and made him powerless to help his clanmates. That was another reason he'd come out here, to look for herbs though he knew it was in vain. Not even the weird, abandoned twoleg nest where catmint grew abundantly had a single leaf to be found.
A movement caught Owlstar's eye and he turned just in time to see the familiar green-ish pelt of the cat who'd been haunting his dreams since the first case of the illness. "Wait stop! I need answers!" Owlstar called to the empty air and receiving the response he'd gotten used to: silence. Or so he thought... as he took a step towards where the mangy tom had disappeared, he was surprised to walk straight into a bush with tiny purple flowers. A blossoming catmint bush had seemingly come out of nowhere and Owlstar gave a yelp of triumph. It wasn't much but the leaves would keep his clanmates alive for another day. He quickly gathered what he could, leaving some behind to allow the plant to regrow- though part of him knew the plant would mysteriously disappear by nightfall just as the others had- and rushed back to camp.

"I imagine pretty high." Heathernose remarked twitching her whiskers. "We should watch our step the edge might be slippery." She knew Orchidblossom knew but Heathernose couldn't help but me a mother. Wasn't long until she could hear the sound of rushing water nearby.

Orchidbloom began to pick her way carefully down the gorge. Heathernose was right, the river swelled much higher and quicker than normal, almost up to the cave where Full Moon Gatherings were held. She glanced back at her mother and led the way down towards a large flat boulder that would be perfect for sunning on.

Heathernose flicks her tail feeling nervous. There has been a few times during the clan's travels where she had almost been swept away by a raging river. "I hope the water goes down before the next gathering." She remarked as she eyed the rough waters.
