Thymeclan New members needed

Asterpaw nodded his head at Honeypaw’s offer. He didn’t feel like eating, however he didn’t want to waste fresh kill, or to be rude. As he took a bite, Elmsong’s words kept relaying in his head. He shook his head, trying to forgot what horrible of a day this has been. He tried to take his fellow apprentice’s advice, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that this was his fault. Thankfully, he has Honeypaw and Silverpaw here to comfort him, as well as his mentor Irisheart.

Silverpaw settled down beside the other two apprentices, meowing a thank you to Honeypaw for inviting him to share the piece of prey with her and Asterpaw. He took a bite out of it as he also tried to listen to Nightwhisker's announcement to the clan.

Icewhisper followed Nightwhisker when he went back to Thymestar. She took a moment to see how Wovensight was doing and then settled down beside the leader to keep an eye on him while Nightwhisker made his announcement. Once the deputy came back to sit beside Thymestar too Icewhisper glanced in the direction of her den. She would allow Honeypaw and Silverpaw to give Asterpaw some much needed company and support for now but she would probably ask them to leave later on since she wanted to escort Wovensight to the medicine den sooner rather than later. But maybe she could allow them to stay for a bit longer anyway, as long as Wovensight didn't feel bothered by them.

Adderheart listened to Nightwhisker's announcement and gave a slight nod in Sakura's direction as the deputy mentioned her. Then she moved a bit closer to the gathered cats and settled down near Thymestar. Meanwhile Darkclaw stayed where he was but kept watching his clanmates, wondering if he should walk over to them now or later.

Rainsong watched as Nightwhisker made his announcement and wondered what kind of leader he would be. Maybe it was still too early to think about this but Rainsong had no doubt that Thymestar would lose his remaining lives today and that not even StarClan could do anything about it. How would the clan adapt once that happened? But he didn't voice any of his thoughts, not wanting his clanmates to feel even more miserable and hopeless.

DuskPelt was about to reply when she heard the beginnings of an announcement, and the molly turned to listen closely. once NightWhisker had padded back to ThymeStars side, she turned back to Sakura, and dipped her head. "i should have realized that, with the knowledge of you growing up as a loner. i just.. wasnt expecting it. clan cats are raised to use their claws only against enemies, or prey, and never against your clanmates. it was quite a shock to my system to feel claws in a training session" the she cat paused, unsure how to continue before she murmured softly. "i apologize for snapping at you like that." her eyes traveled over the camp for a few moments before noticing the fresh kill pile. with so many injured, it would be a bit before they could truly stock up again, and she got to her paws. "im going to ask NightWhisker if i can go out hunting. the clan will need food. would... you like to join me? an extra set of paws would be a huge help" the she cat also intended to ask yarrowfur to join if he was up for it.

renaissance Morior)

DuskPelt padded over to where ThymeStar lay, wincing at his twitches. he was definitely not doing well, and she crouched beside her leader, pressing her nose into his fur respectfully before drawing back to watch for a few minutes with anguished eyes. Finally, she turned to NightWhisker, and dipped her head in greeting. "it seems like the fresh kill pile is low, i figured i could take a patrol hunting to stock up. we will need it with the injured and grieving. Sakura agreed to go with me with your approval, and id like to take YarrowFur" she explained her intentions quickly, her tail drooping slightly. while she loved her clan, she couldnt help but feel trapped by their grief as well as her own, and a hunting patrol would dual purpose of feeding the clan and getting her out of camp to work off her emotions .

Following Duskpelt's example, Yarrowfur got up and went to Thymestar, pressing his nose to the leader's shoulder. "You've done so much for this Clan. We will always respect and remember you." he said, hoping the leader could hear but Thymestar didn't seem conscious. He sat to the side and watched Duskpelt pad over to Nightwhisker.

(lol. duckpelt)

DuskPelt dipped her head, and padded over to YarrowFur. "i figured you could use the chance to stretch your legs, and the clan needs to be fed anyways." she murmured, glancing at towards to entrance. "sakura agreed to help as well" she added with a small flick of her ears as she turned to head out of camp, waiting momentarily to see if her mate would follow.

Yarrowfur fell into step beside Sakura. "I'm sorry for snapping at you when you and Duskpelt were sparring." he said. "Nightwhisker already said it, but you did very well today organizing the second patrol. I think you'll fit in well with the Clan." he said, his opinion of her having changed quite a bit.

"Alright." Yarrowfur nodded, still following Duskpelt slowly as he scented the air for signs of other prey. He turned off down a path when he heard the chirping of a wren sounding like it came from the ground. He crouched low, using the underbrush to hide his bright white pelt as he snuck closer to it. He leaped when he thought he was close enough, but completely misjudged the distance, landing and reaching his claws out a whisker-length short of the wren, and he could only watch in surprise as it flew away.

Yarrowfur kept stalking farther. I have to catch something this time, he thought, embarrassed by the idea of returning to Duskpelt and Sakura with nothing to show. He spotted a fat vole ahead and pounced quickly, catching it by surprise and killing it quickly. He could hear Duskpelt and Sakura moving through the woods, guessing they had caught things as well, and made for their direction. "A whole rabbit!" he said when he saw Duskpelt.

DuskPelt had stopped where they split up, placing her kill on the ground happily. "Well done you guys! I think if we can find one more piece each the clan would be set for the night, at least. What do you guys think? " The molly asked proudly. It helped to calm her nerves, to be caring for the clan, and she wasn't quite ready to go back to the camp yet.

Sakura nodded and dropped her vole in the hole Yarrowfur had dug. She walked a few paces away and sniffed at a nearby tree. She scented a squirrel and glanced up into the tree. She looked back at Duskpelt and Yarrowfur before leaping into the tree. She leaped silently through the branches in the direction she assumed the squirrel had gone. Suddenly, she saw leaves rustle up on a branch above her. She hesitated because she didn't want to go up too high, but she knew this squirrel could feed a bunch of her clanmates. She leaped up on to the branch and carefully stalked along the branch until she could peek between the leaves. There she saw a squirrel nibbling on an acorn. She leaped, grabbing the squirrel in her paws and slipping on the branch. She crashed onto the branch below her, but managed to save herself. Then she watched as the squirrel fell through the branches.

(Oop, didn't realize this reply would get so long lol)

Sakura looked down at Yarrowfur. "No, it's perfectly safe up here. I just slipped when I pounced, that's all. But I'll come down anyway." As she reached the bottom of the tree, she padded over the Yarrowfur and the squirrel. "Thanks for finishing it off for me." Then she grabbed it and set it down in the hole before they went farther into the forest.

Asterpaw felt like he was just about to be asleep before Strikepaw appeared. His question didn’t make much sense, but he felt like he should get used to it considering he was severely wounded and things like this were going to start happening often. He shrugged, “I don’t know, Do you mean the fox? Because it smelled like crow food and blood...” he muttered.
