(I can’t be online much today sorry!)
Sealpaw’s ears perked up at Softpaw’s call and after he quickly sorted the last pair of herbs he trotted over to his friend. “Hey Softpaw!” The tom greeted her happily. “How did your training go?”
Darksky nodded and made sure they settled slowly on the sunny spot Dartfoot had pointed at. She put the squirrel down in front of him. Darksky had noticed his gaze lingering on the camp entrance. “Do you miss home?” The she-cat asked when she sat down, her tail curled over her paws. She felt sorry for him and she felt very responsible for the situation. Hopefully she could help make him feel better.

Cypresspaw bristled with excitement, copper eyes widening. "Really?" he trembled. A warrior soon. Part of him was still thinking of dreaming of StarClan, and he wondered if he ever would dream of StarClan in his life. "Thank you! How long until we leave for the Moon Hollow?" he asked, sure Stagstar had already said that but he hadn't caught it. He gave a sidelong glance at the fresh-kill pile.

Darksky perked her ears with interest. It must be a great feeling to be so passionate about something. “I believe you are. I’d like to see you run on your own territory. I bet it’s a sight to see.” She smiled and took a bite from the squirrel, still wondering what Steppeclan territory would really be like. After she swallowed her bite she shoved it over to the tom, signaling that he could finish it if he wanted. “No problem. I hope I can make you feel a little at home for the time being. I’m sure it’s strange to stay in another clan.” She looked up with squinred eyes, enjoying the warm sun on her black pelt.

(I also wrote a reply for Softpaw earlier Fallen!)
“Ha ha, I’ll settle for that.” Darksky grinned and gave Dartfoot a playful nudge. “You can always call me when you need food.” She twitched her whiskers is amusement. “Or company.” She had one eye open and one eye closed against the sunlight.

(It’s okay, don’t worry 😊)
“Really?!” Sealpaw’s eyes widened. “That’s great!” The young tom exclaimed, feeling uplifted from hearing the good news. He knew Softpaw wanted to be leader someday and becoming a warrior would be the first step. “I’m so happy for you.” Sealpaw mewed and headbutted her flank. “You’ll be the greatest warrior!”
As Dartfoot started tickling her feet, Darksky rolled over on to her back and started patting his tail with her paws. “Well, I’m not really as passionate about something as you to be honest.” The she-cat admitted thoughtfully. “I guess I like to hunt. Our territory has some great huntingspots.” She stretched out her black legs to the sun and smiled. “I can show you when you can walk a little better.”

“I’d be the greatest guide!” She exclaimed while her paws determinedly patted afterd Dartfoot’s tail. “If only I knew what a guide exactly was.” Darksky smiled and her eyes gleamed with curiosity. Steppeclan seemed to not only look very different, but had different ranks as well. She was intreagued as to why that clan worked so differently from Mistclan.
Sealpaw purred excitedly at Softpaw’s comments. “Thanks Softpaw. I’ll get right to it.” He was glad she trusted him in his role as a medicine cat. With Sweetmeadow by his side he was sure nothing could go wrong. The apprentice started sorting through the herbs. “I wonder what your warriorname will be.” He pondered out loud while he gently picked up a few leaves.

Dartfoot purred in amusement. “I didn’t mean that type of guide.” He tried to imagine Darksky as a guide, her having Maplestar’s ear just seemed strange. But he could imagine her on the grassland’s with him, racing and play and hunting. “I don’t know if it’d suit you but it would definitely be amusing either way. You are an amusing cat after all.”
Softpaw gave a little huff as she hopped after Sealpaw, her tail straight up in the air. “Doesn’t matter in the end I’ll be Softstar!”
Sweetmeadow gave a soft, amused snort. “Alright Softstar, how many will be taking this journey with you?” She waited beside Sealpaw, watching in approval as he pulled out the correct bundles of herbs for traveling.
“Well, there will be three of us!” Softpaw meowed, thinking of Cypresspaw. “Cypresspaw will be getting his warrior name soon, maybe I will too!”
She’d never really given her warrior name much thought but she had the utter most faith in Stagstar. “Whatever our leader picks will be good enough for me!” She remarked before taking a cautionary sniff of the herbs at Sealpaw’s feet.

Darsky rolled back onto her paws, her blue eyes sparkling with amusement at her own misunderstanding. "I think being a Steppeclan guide would be too serious for me. A least if guides are like Frostwhisper." She smiled, she'd heard the Steppeclan cats vaguely talking about their ranks so she naturally assumed he meant 'guide' in the Steppeclan sense of the word. "But I can guide you trough the Mistclan territory and that would definitely be fun. I'd like to see you have a swim." She could imagine the tom would be a good swimmer with his long legs, but first times swimming were always clumsy and lots of fun with the right company.
"I bet you will." Sealpaw smiled. It was great to see Softpaw so happy. He worked thoughtfully on the first bundle of herbs. Sweetmeadow had shown him before how to go about it. When he finished the first bundle he waited for his mentor's approval, giving her a hopeful look. "Is this right Sweetmeadow?" He asked, gesturing to the travellingbundle with his tail. His whiskers twitching in anticipation as he waited for her reaction.

Darksky's whiskers twitched with amusement. "I can relate to that - at least your part. I'm sure Frostwhisper has a funny side too, when she's in a comfortable environment like her own clan." She mewed and sat up, tilting her head in surprise. "You have a lake? I thought your territory was as dry as the dust on my back." She grinned and ruffled her fur, sending sandparticles flying through the air. "You know, if you're feeling well enough we could go over to one of the 'kittypools'. Maybe it'll be nice for your paw to wade in the water. There's a shallow one nearby the camp. Or do you think that would stupid?"
Sealpaw beamed at the praise from his mentor and Softpaw. "I did!" He mewed proudly. "I'll get the other two ready as well. When will you be going Softpaw? At dusk or at dawn?" He asked his friend while he worked on the next bundle. The young tom felt great, he and Softpaw started as apprentices around the same time and now they were both on different paths but it also felt like they had both found the right place in the clan. He hoped they could continue to be good friends, even though they were so different. He greatly appreciated her support and he hoped he could offer her the same.

Ofcourse Darksky didn't really think of Steppeclan as a wasteland, it was just surreal for her to form a picture in her mind of a territory so far away. "Alright Stupidfoot of Wasteclan, I will escort you to the kittypool." Darksky laughed and leaped after the tom. He could hop off surprisingly fast on three paws. She walked by his side, ready to offer her support if needed. "Don't go too fast. I don't want to anger Rosepath or Sweetmeadow by delaying your recovery." Steadily she guided him past twigs and other rubble, towards the location of the shallow pond.
"Well, it's not like magic stuff Softpaw." Sealpaw giggled at the she-cat. "But hopefully it'll keep you healthy for the journey." The apprentice started working on the last bundle, picking the same herbs as he did before.

Dartfoot purred in amusement at Darksky’s joke, “I should have known this place wouldn’t be boring with your company.” He looked around at the land surrounding them. It was so green and the wet trees so dark, so different from the white sands and golden grasses of his own land. It was beautiful though strange, he looked to the she-cat beside him and her different shape as well. Most of Steppeclan we’re tall and lanky, even more so himself but she was all curved muscle and rounded fur. She too was beautiful and strange like this land.
The moss beneath his feet was damp and he nearly slipped were it not for Darksky’s steady shoulder. As they approached the water he laughed again at her mention of his sister. “The only one Rosepath’s going to claw is me, your medicine cat seems clawless so I wouldn’t worry.” He looked over the dark water, it made him a little nervous that he couldn’t exactly see the bottom but he waded in nonetheless.
“By the stars!” Dartfoot yelped, his tail tip flicking sporadically. “This water is so cold!” He looked up to see the dark figures of limbs in the mist, no pure sunlight penetrated the overcast canopy. It was so different from the lake, the clear water at the edge always warmed up under the bright sun.

(lowkey shipping dart and dark tbh lol. also so sorry my accounts been giving me horrible issues logging in and not kicking me off. im getting replies up tonight!)
StagStar tilted his head to gaze up at the sky. "we travel at sunrise tomorrow, so you will need to get your herbs before then." he replied with a mreow. he wondered if SweetMeadow and SealPaw knew yet of their travels, and he got to his paws. "eat well tonight as we will not have time to eat before we leave in the morning" he advised CypressPaw before padding off towards the medicine cat den. his apprentice was overeager at times, and he wanted to ensure that the right number of travel herbs were prepared and set aside for the their journey. and to remind SoftPaw to eat as well. ducking his head into the medicine cat den, he heard the voices of SweetMeadow, SealPaw, and SoftPaw , and followed them through to the back of the den. "i see youre already here" he meowed to his apprentice.

"Just wanted to ensure the herbs were in order, but I see SoftPaw already beat me to it. " StagStar meowed with amusement, butting his head affectionately with SweetMeadow. "Thank you for that. I know she can be overwhelming sometimes" He murmured as he sniffed each bundle of herbs, his whiskers twitching at the sharp scents. "I think SealPaw will be fantastic. After all he's got the best mentor" His comments were all in good nature and he glanced up at the she cat with a purr. He loved their companionship, and he often didn't know where he'd be without his close friend.

Cypresspaw took a mouse from the fresh-kill pile and resisted the urge to play with it like a kit, though he did bat it once, hooking it with his claws then bringing it up to hold it in his mouth. Going to be a warrior soon and the excitement has me wanting to run around like it's my first time out of the nursery, he thought and sat down in a random, open spot towards the side of camp to eat.

Sweetmeadow felt her ears warm at the praise. Stagstar has always made sure to affirm her place as Medicine Cat when others had doubt such a young cat could be trusted. She was endlessly grateful to him for that.
“I think spirit is needed for someone who hopes to be leader and I think she has the best mentor to achieve those dreams.” Sweetmeadow purred feeling as though her heart was aglow with warmth as they butted heads.
“Be careful on your journey, I-.” Sweetmeadow stopped herself, she shouldn’t worry the tom with her little dreams. For she was sure that was all it was, she’d always known when she was being visited by Starclan.
A dream of endless rain was just of her own mind conjuring, just as was the dream that came before it. She flushed under her fur; remembering the warm nest, the squirming of young kits against her belly, and the feel of a large from at her back.
“Just be careful, for all our sakes.” She meowed softly and touched her nose to his chin, unable to reach any higher. Under his warm gaze and his towering figure she felt as though she were an apprentice again. Being comforted by his words and presence. [mention]angelheart [/mention]

"Always" StagStar murmured with a purr. "This clan would be lost without you" Her nose on his chin made him purr, and he flicked his tail over her ear gently before gettin to his paws again. "Thank you for taking care of DartFoot" He added as he gathered the herb bundles in his mouth, before heading towards the entrance. it was important for him to make sure the apprentices were eating and to make sure they got the sleep then needed this night. plus, the tom was hungry himself.
