(yes! Sorry about that midnight, i'd meant to answer your questions but had forgotten. I was also going to ask what Stormecho's rank in the clan was before she'd been a queen and for the history section you could just say they were born in the clan to whatever parents and mention if they had, or currently have any siblings, things like that. You're totally welcome to create cats that are related to your characters but leave them up to be claimed. like, for example, if you wanted Shadowspirit to have had kits, you could mention them in his history and make those characters claimable, or just mention that he had X amount of sons and/or X amount of daughters and leave full creativity for anyone trying to claim them
I hope that makes sense?)

(gosh highprince i would die for Honeybee, also i love all of our queens lol there's going to be so many kits in the clan soon! also...i wasn't super planning on having Tiderunner finding an interest in anyone romantically, i could see him and Honeybee having a rather interesting compatibility. So, if you'd be interested then I can absolutely offer him up to her mate i also just think the idea of him having another mate who's expecting kits would absolutely make the poor tom a nervous wreck, but constantly reminding himself that Honey can take care of herself and is perfectly capable of fighting for herself )

Sharkpaw with Conchpaw // in camp โ๏ธโ๏ธโโ๏ธโ๏ธ
It was clearly a few ticks past dawn, the heat not quite settled in and the breeze still rushing through the camp, ruffling furs and causing small shivers. The tom's cautious slid around the nests of his clan mates, quietly worried that someone had seen or heard his weakness. His claws churned in the reeds and sand beneath his paws, clearly displaying his displeasure at that thought.
A shiver trailed along his own spine but the fault was purely his own. He'd chosen to place his nest on the far end of his siblings, away from Plumeriabreeze in order to make a statement. He was an apprentice now and didn't need the coddling of his mother. This was certainly not always the case. His siblings were curled together beside him, sending a pang of longing through his heart - along with the familiar sting of guilt.
A heavy sigh weighed down his chest before his gaze slipped back towards the others, blankly searching for nothing in particular. He certainly hadn't expected to meet the yellow eyes of another cat peering back at him in the soft light. Sharkpaw tilted his head, his chin jutting out in a bit of challenge, as though daring Conchpaw to call him out for his crying and trashing. The other tom quickly averted his gaze however and the gray and white tom sat up to lick at his chest fur. Good.
So caught up in his thoughts, the hiss startled him, bringing his amber eyes flashing back open to lock on the slightly younger apprentice. "Why do we have to go all the way to Velvet Dunes?" the tom hissed back, narrowing his eyes in question. That didn't stop him from getting to his paws however and taking a few steps in the direction of the entrance, impatiently tossing his head to signal 'come on'. Seagullstar with Shellsplash // just outside camp โ๏ธโ๏ธโโ๏ธโ๏ธ
His mind was full of too many thoughts, almost feeling as though his mind would split if he couldn't quiet some of the voices crying out. Sometimes looking at the waves helped and other times it just was too quiet. Logic told him to enjoy the moment, as it was some of the only down time he'd probably get once the clan was awake, but he just... couldn't. Seagullstar took in a deep breath of air, his flanks shuddering, before he let it all out, deflating like a balloon. The sound of paws sliding through sand reached him a few moments before the familiar scent of Shellsplash washed over him. A wry smile tugged his lips and the tom resisted the urge to shake his head. He should have known getting up this early would lead to her following after him. His fur brushed her own as she settled beside him, her chin resting on his shoulder. A quiet purr built in his throat as he gently placed his cheek upon her forehead. "Unfortunately. My mind ran away with me," he admitted, letting his eyes drift half-way closed. Shellsplash's presence helped to quiet some of the rampant thoughts, soothing the pounding ache in his head. She'd always had this effect on him, being able to focus his buzzing mind like no one else really could. His tail rested over hers, twining around hers carefully.

Part of Honeybee's bickering might have been "I don't know how to tell you that I like you, so this is the next best thing". She definitely wouldn't expect him to be into her at all, that's for sure

(haha oh im sure, i also do not doubt that while Tiderunner was the first one to confess, it also took him so long because he has traumaโข i can see him making a lot of parallels between his past relationship with Petalrush and comparing it with his and Hoenybee's - i assume both were expecting kits pretty soon after their courtship, and he is constantly having to remind himself that they're not the same and that he's not going to lose Honeybee)

mantispawyou, the little flowers by the side of the road. you keep singing along to that song i hate. stop singing. (road music, richard silken) Let us imagine that you are an elder. The sun is shining and the day is so beautiful such that even you, the grumpiest of all the cats in the clan, have nothing to complain about. To celebrate this glorious morning, you have decided to nap ever-so-peacefully on top of one of the large rocks decorating your camp. The sun warms your unconscious back. You are dreaming of your younger years, of beautiful young she-cats and spry mice, of beautiful mice and spry she-cats. And then, suddenly โ
โAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHโ โ
Your slumber is disrupted by a screech so unholy that those in the Deep Dark are covering their ears. A sandpiper lights from where it had landed among the grasses. A kit cries in protest. If you were an elder who existed and was tangible, you may scream: โFor the love of StarClan, shut up!โ You would have every right to do this. The she-cat dashing out of the Apprenticeโs den, long fur swaying behind her, is still screaming.
โCONCHPAW! Oh my StarClan, Conchpaw. You will not believe the dream I had last nightโ, her mouth hangs open in a wild grin. โWhew, give me a second. Iโve got to. Man I canโt even think about it without wanting to laugh. Dovepaw and Sharkpaw were, get this, at a mating ceremony! A mating ceremony! And I was, in the dream, I was the deputy! Can you imagine! Dovepaw and Sharkpaw. StarClan would EXPLODE. Theyโd be like. Anger-shipping. Grumpy-shipping. Iโm โ StarClan, Iโm not over it. Conchpaw isnโt that-โ
Mantispaw finally seems to see the situation displayed in front of her. Conchpaw is standing several tail-lengths away from Sharkpaw. They are standing together. Almost together. Several tail-lengths apart from together. Her eyes dart between them. Conchpaw. Sharkpaw. Conchpaw. Sharkpaw. โEheheh, oops. Sorry, uh, Sharkpaw. I was so, ya know, from the dream I didnโt. Er. See you there.โ
She swiftly turns her back to them and tilts her head, trying and failing to be subtle, at Conchpaw. She purses her lips. If she had an eyebrow to raise, she would have raised it.
โAaaaaaanyways. Uh. Hope you guys have fun whatever youโre doing! Find me later, Conchpaw!โ
She swiftly exits. And by exits, I mean that she walks over towards the other side of camp looking for the next victim to regale with retellings of her dreams. Maybe Screepaw. Screepaw might tell her to shut up, and that itโs not funny, and honestly, Mantispaw loves her for it. Sheโs so grounded. And like, Mantispaw knows she needs that. But Screepaw is also, like, totally a great training partner and since Mantispaw wants to be the Very Best, Like No One Ever Was, itโs super pragmatic and fun to be her friend. Well, maybe not like, fun fun. Not like it would to be Chiapawโs friend. But fun fun. Like, fun fun with no italics. Do you get it? Probably not. Screepaw doesnโt seem to be around, so maybe sheโll have to go for a second choice. Pearlpaw? Third choice. Tumblepaw? Whoever she finds first.

tallfin Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
Can you tell me the name of the ocean? What it calls itself, if you sit on the shore and ask it. Is it the crash of waves upon the shore, or the lull between them? Is it the churning of the undertow, dragging ground into the water and renaming it suspended? The ground still calls itself ground. Different ground, but the same ground. Only deeper.
Or โ does the ocean call itself by the silence of the rip current? Identified by its most dangerous element. Isolating it as it isolates you. One of the first things you learn as a fisher trainee is how to survive the rip current. Tallfin is not a fisher, but he knows. He has been told. He has seen the rip current steal cats out to sea. He sees a black and white she-cat thrashing against the water. The hunter was untrained. The hunter was unprepared. The hunter slips under and repeats the name of the sea. Silence. Tallfin reported Lilycloudโs death to her sister and he can still hear the screams. Her name haunts him like a wave crash. A thunder crash. He watched it happen. She was too far out. He could not save her. Tallfin is plagued by this. He stares down into the wilds and two paths confront him; one less traveled on, on worn by the paw. He looks and the paths divide. Once. Twice. Again, and again, and again, until his entire field of vision is paths. He could have saved her. Maybe. More likely, she would have drowned him as well. Maybe.
Tallfin stares at the sea.
The wind rustles the sea oats behind him. He, like his brother, is perched on a dune. He, unlike his brother, sits alone. He, unlike his brother, is poignantly aware of his aloneness; he is not constantly comforted by those who want his attention, or would offer their attention to him. Tallfin is a golem on the dunes. He turns around and wanders back into camp. Is he retreating? Maybe. From what? Can you name it?
Camp is both busy and lazy at the same time. Mantispaw was loquacious as ever, screaming over the comfortable noises of camp at two toms who seemed content to not have her there. Tallfin would not be surprised if she had inserted herself into their interaction. They were a story, and she was the bookmark. She didnโt belong there; she was simply marking a place. Wrasseslip pokes his head out of the the long grass, twitching his nose, to see what was amuck. He turns his head towards Mantispaw. His shoulders visibly relax. Yes, itโs just her, Tallfin wants to say. Heโs familiar with the guard trainee. She tends to hang around with his apprentice, Screepaw who is, unsurprisingly, not immediately visible. Screepaw is quiet; she tends to blend in both in social situations and into the landscape. This does not mean that she is simply a part of the landscape, though. No, one of the reasons Tallfin loves being her mentor is that, even in her silence, Screepaw is thinking. And over-thinking. And thinking things over. She is watching to see how others move before she plays her hand. There are no cards here, though. And there is no Screepaw.
Instead, there is an Albatrossdive. The deputy trots over to Tallfin โ he is one of the few cats in the clan taller than Tallfin, though that is not saying much because almost no one is larger than Albatrossdive. Heโs โ well โ big.
โHey!โ The tom-cat flicks an ear in welcome. โI know this is a bit unofficial, but Iโm in a hurry. Can you take out a hunting patrol? Just a small one, the freshkill pile is getting low, I trust your judgement on who goes.โ
Before Tallfin has time to reply, Albatrossdive has already walked away. He is walking out of camp, as if he is on a mission. No one follows him. Tallfin is curious, but says nothing. Fine. Hunting patrol it is. Tallfin simply turns his head over to where Mangotuft was eating breakfast.
โIโm sure you heard thatโ, he says. โWould you care to come? I was thinking we could ask Lioncrest and Ternwing if they were interested. Maybe bring one of the younger apprentices, Chiapaw or Berrypaw, perhaps?โ He flicks his ears softly. โIt would give them a chance to see more of the territory.โ

C O N C H P A W If Conchpaw was hoping to leave the camp unnoticed, his plans were dashed the moment that Mantispaw woke up.
Her screech caused his paws leave the ground. His fur stood on end, and his eyes turned to yellow bubbles as he turned wildly in search of her. He didn't have to look for very long, however, as the she-cat dashed towards him from the other side of camp.
'Sharkpaw,' 'Dovepaw,' 'Conchpaw!'
Her words tumbled out of her like a wave, so fast and strong that he could practically feel them crashing into him. He stood, flustered and blinking, as she detailed her dream to him. He felt his ears and nose flush red as Sharkpaw was mentioned, and his gaze flicked towards him apprehensively.
It seemed like Mantispaw noticed him at the same time. Suddenly, her enthusiasm stumbled, and her babbling turned to stammering. He felt a slight pang of sympathy for her, so as she backed away, he made a point of calling after her.
"Y-Yeah!" he stammered. "See youโ!" He ducked his head sheepishly as he noticed Tallfin and Wrasseslip watching them. "See you later...!" he called in a quieter tone.
Swallowing hard, Conchpaw didn't move for a moment. His pelt was warm. He wasn't used to being the center of attention. More often than not, he was a quiet voice on the sidelines, and he was content like that. Now, he felt eyes on his fur.
His voice wobbled bashfully when he spoke. "I-I won't tell Dovepaw, if you don't..."
