Wolfkit nodded at that. "True, but Palepaw and Honeypaw might become warriors soon. Maybe he's free to train one of us then." He kept his eyes on the moss ball as he said that and when Gazekit sent it over to him he lunged for it. The force of his jump sent him tumbling head over paws and after the initial surprise he just laughed. He had caught the ball between his paws when he landed but had tossed it into the air when he fell. Foxkit smiled at the thought. "Yeah, Elmsong sounds nice." When Wolfkit sent the ball flying Foxkit stepped back and watched closely, anticipating where it would land. Then he shot forward and flung it at Weaselkit. He turned back to Wishkit again. "What about you? Anyone you're hoping for?" The moss ball flew past Weaselkit but she had immediately chased after it so it wouldn't roll too far away. To Wolfkit she meowed "Maybe, but I don't think he and Basilwhisker will get a new apprentice so shortly after that." She pretended to swat the moss ball in Gazekit's direction but sent it to Wishkit instead. (Hm. Adderheart would be only 15 moons old by then I think. She would do her best to prove herself until then and out of my warriors she is the one who would want an apprentice the most but yeah, she'd still be a bit too young for that so I guess she won't get one just yet? At what age do cats become warriors anyway in this clan? On average, I mean. Some time between their 12th and 13th moon?) I would say about 12 moons is good/ by the 13th moon ) "Hmmm maybe Mothstripe or Duskpelt" Wishkit said. She watched as Wolfkit fell over. And grabbed the ball as it came to her and sent it to Foxkit. Gazekit tensed thinking the ball was coming to him. |

(Yeah, Sakura's sarcasm is fun to write out.) Sakura checked her shadow as she sat down near Basilwhisker. She then lifted a paw and bent to grab at a silver flash that flickered below the surface. All she grabbed was a pawful of water. "Fox dung!" she mewed, crouching to search for another fish. "try to hook around the far edge of the reflection. The water bends the image." Basilwhisker instructed. He indicated another fish that appeared. "Then bite it when it hits the ground " |

Foxkit was getting ready to toss the ball back to Wishkit but before he could grab it Weaselkit had jumped in between him and the ball. "Hey, no fair!" yowled Foxkit but he was grinning. Weaselkit let go of the ball before Foxkit could retaliate and let him grab it. She squeaked in surprise as he tossed it straight at her. With a laugh she pretended to back away, then she passed the ball over to Gazekit. "Mothstripe or Duskpelt, huh...," said Wolfkit. "Well, I just hope we get the mentors we want. Not that we have a say in this but a cat can dream."

Icewhisper has blue eyes and mostly white fur. Her left ear, three of her paws and a stripe on her back are light gray.

(Wait, really? I had no idea. I just wanted a cat with the -whisper suffix and I've also played with the idea of making a cat with the Ice prefix for a while xD)
(The kits are just tossing that ball around xD Maybe I'll have Darkclaw "attack" them, making them fight another "fox"? Anyway, that's all for today. Good night ^^)

( Mother Dark ) Sakura nodded, reaching outwards toward another silver fish. She cupped her paw around it and scooped it toward her. As it hit the ground, she bent to grab it between her jaws. She bite into it, feeling it wriggle before falling still. Dropping it on the ground, she exclaimed, “I caught a fish! Thank you, Master of Flopping Fish.” She lowered herself into a bow, glancing up at Basilwhisker with a gleam in her eye. |

Gazekit rolled over trying to get the ball. He stumbled around trying to get his bearings. He jumped back to his feet and batted the ball a couple times before sending it over to Wolfkit. |

Yarrowfur watched her race away into the clearing and dive into the pond in surprise. He padded to the pond's edge then waded in, looking for sign of her pelt through the water. His fur prickled at the cold water so he took it slow to adjust to it. DuskPelt popped up near where YarrowFur stood, and splashed him playfully. "Oh cmon. Too cold for ya? " She teased him, paddling into deeper water. Keeping her eyes peeled, she watched for any silver flashes of scales, hoping to catch something early on. Her tail acted as a rutter to steer her as she navigated the chilly water. |

Thymestar Thymestar walked out of his den and looked around the camp. He could see that he had woken early as there were few other cats out yet. He blinked and went back in his den to sleep for longer. Ivysplash Ivysplash came back into camp a little ragged looking. He carried a vole and a few rolls of moss that were nice and dry. He dropped the vole in the fresh kill pile and then set the moss by the elder's den. He dragged himself then to his nest and fell into a deep sleep. Turtlepool Turtlepool woke from a broken sleep. She had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep the night before. She yawned and streched before walking out and seeing Ivysplash drop off moss rolls and stagger off to his nest. She sighed and shook her head. It seemed someone else had a rough night as well. She yawned and looked around camp before settling into watching the kits play. Snowdapple "Its easiest to feed the kits and myself with a rabbit." Snowdapple said. She leaned against Wovensight. "Your sister is so lucky to have you." Open charries and Snowdapple for Zz)) |

Yarrowfur shied back when she splashed him, shivering from the cold water. "I don't have your thicker pelt." he said. He took a deep breath in anticipation then forced himself to dive under the water, coming up a second later and swimming after Duskpelt. "They should call you Duckpelt." He teased, watching her swim.

"We don't stay in camp all the time. We take turns hunting and fishing and patrolling. If we choose to stay in camp for longer its usually because we want to rest or guard the camp. Plus most of us have grown up with the clan around us so it feels right." Basilwhisker explained glancing up at Sakura before sighting another fish. This time he lost his balancd and splashed into the stream.

Basilwhisker looked up with a fish in his mouth. He got up and dropped it on the bank and bit it. "I think we should take this back to camp. After I dry off some again" He stepped a few tail lengths away and shook out his fur. Then he grabbed three fish by the tail.

The she cat gasped in mock offense "how dare you" She meowed back, turning and splashing at him with a front paw before paddling out of reach. "Just because I enjoy the water doesn't make me prey" She retorted with a snort of amusement. As DuskPelt paddled along, she noticed a silver flash ahead and under her. With lightning reflexes, she dove, sinking her teeth into the scaly body of a fish before coming up fast for air, her prize clamped in her jaws.

LightBringer "I meant your pelt is like a duck's feathers." Yarrowfur paddled to keep his head above the water. "I don't think I've ever seen a duck on the fresh-kill pile before." He blinked a few times, trying to watch her dive under and after a fish. He dove under when he spotted another one by the flash of its silver scales in the sunlight. Yarrowfur gripped the bottom of the pond with his claws, then pushed himself forward with claws outstretched to swipe at the fish. He missed it completely and it swam away. Quickly he was forced to resurface for air, huffing in frustration.

Unable to reply, DuskPelt swam to the edge of the pond, and dropped her catch on the bank. "That's one!" She turned and faced her friend, noticing his frustration. "Did you miss? " She asked, paddling back towards YarrowFur. "I'm sure you'll get the next one! " She encouraged, her tail flicking in the water. Her pelt slicked back, and the comment about not seeing a duck on the prey pile. "Well, we don't see ducks here often do we" She chuckled.

Yarrowfur didn't hear her for a moment, looking down into the water. Were we talking about ducks? He thought and shook his head. He paddled after her to the bank of the pond where his paws could reach the bottom. "Aiming underwater is hard. How many do you think you can catch?" he asked. LightBringer |

Wolfkit lashed his tail as he watched the ball closely. He had to stop himself from jumping forward a few times when Gazekit just batted at the ball at first. Still, he couldn't quite guess just when Gazekit would pass the ball to someone and he almost missed the ball when it came his way. Then he flung it to Wishkit. Silverpaw was now walking around camp, looking for Nightwhisker. As an apprentice he couldn't leave camp without permission after all. He still felt too tired to properly focus on training but sitting around all day wasn't really an option either.
(open to anyone)
Heronflight watched the kits play and laughed to herself. It was good that the clan had such cheerful and excitable kits. And once Malvina's kits were old enough there wouldn't be any quiet moments anymore. Adderheart had waited for any news from the nursery and once she heard Wovensight announce that Malvina had five healthy kits the young warrior sighed with relief. With that out of the way she could either hunt some more or check the territory for any signs of predators or other unwelcome guests without having to worry about Malvina. She headed for the camp's entrance but waited for a moment in case anyone wanted to join her. Rainsong still sat near the camp's entrance, having yet to decide on whether he should hunt or check one of the borders. Right now he just sat still, his thoughts elsewhere. Icewhisper walked through the camp's entrance and headed straight for her den, carrying herbs she had gathered this morning. Once she had stored them properly she went outside again and observed her clanmates. She knew she should probably check on Thymestar but something else came first. When she had stocked up some of the herbs just now she had noticed that some borage leaves were missing. Had Malvina started kitting sooner than anyone had expected? It seemed that way. Icewhisper knew that her clanmates wouldn't just take her herbs unless they had a very good reason. Judging by the way the cats acted right now everything had gone well. Still, maybe she should check on Malvina and her kits.

Elmsong sat up from where he laid in the sun as soon as he saw Icewhisper. He padded over to the medicine cat quickly. "I took borage leaves from your den for Malvina's kitting." he said. "Just so you're aware." he dipped his head to her respectfully.

Icewhisper nodded at Elmsong's explanation. She had expected as much but it was still good that he had come forward about it. "Thank you for telling me," she meowed. "I know none of you would take my herbs without a really good reason but it's good to know." She cast a glance towards the nursery. "A shame I've been gathering herbs the same morning Malvina would have her kits. Looks like they are doing well, at least neither Wovensight nor Snowdapple look worried, but I'll still go check on them later today."

Elmsong looked to the nursery when she mentioned it. "It's great there are so many kits in the Clan." he said. "Are you going out to fetch more borage leaves?" Elmsong asked.

"And we already had a good number even before Malvina came home," said Icewhisper. "There will be a lot of apprentices. And not just for warrior training." She flicked her tail in the direction of the older kits and smiled. "I have yet to discuss it with Thymestar but Gazekit has chosen a different path than his denmates." At Elmsong's question she thought about it for a second. There were still some leaves left but who could say if that was still enough? Maybe there was not much need for them when Malvina produced enough milk for her kits but it was better to be safe than sorry. "I think I will. It's good to have them, just in case. Things are looking good for now but I don't like taking chances."

"That's great! Soon you'll have an apprentice. Could I come with you, help you carry more leaves back?" Elmsong asked, quickly adding, "I haven't been assigned to any patrol and there's nothing to do around camp."

"Of course," Icewhisper meowed, thankful for the offer. "I'd appreciate your help. So we're looking for- oh, you already know what borage leaves look like," she added with a chuckle as she was walking towards the camp's entrance "It's rare to have someone along who knows a thing or two about herbs."

Elmsong smiled and followed her. "I wanted to be a medicine cat when I was a kit, but there was already a medicine cat apprentice." he explained, following her towards the camp entrance.

Icewhisper smiled at that. "Ah, that must have been my old mentor who claimed that spot first," she gave a quiet laugh but still managed to sound sympathetic. "Still, it couldn't have been easy, not being able to follow your dream. And yet you don't seem to actually dislike being a warrior." As she said this she kept looking out for the borage leaves, not wanting to miss them. While this wasn't the only part of the territory where they grew it was closest to the camp. Icewhisper slowed down a little when they got closer to where the herbs grew.
