Wolfstar takes a couple of deep breathes as he focuses on who he would chose as his next deputy. His wounds stung but he didn't care at the moment. Sageflower would throw a fit at this. However, he wasn't nearly as hurt as his clanmates. He goes through most of the warriors that could potentially be deputy. Falconfrost meant well yet he was fighter first and would let his hunger for a fight drive him. The same for Screechfang. Both toms meant well, but they were better as warriors. He needed someone with a clear head and potentially someone younger.
Snowfeather bends down and lightly licks Shellkit and Rosekit's heads. Seemed only yesterday her kits were that small.
As Sageflower walked back to the medicine cat's den, her gaze rests to Blazestorm's lifeless form. If there were no more cats to treat, she and Owlpaw would need to prepare Blazestorm's body to be buried. She has had to bury way to many cats in her time as an apprentice and as a proper medicine cat. She hoped that wouldn't be the same for Owlpaw.
Falconfrost rests his head on his paws and lets out a huff. He hated that the rogues took his nephew away from them. Seeing his brother in so much pain hurt him and reminded him of when Morningshine died.

Oakstrike brushed against Badgerclaw and walked out of the nursery. I should tell Wolfstar about the kits he thought, he trotted over to Wolfstar "Hello Wolfstar" he said, dipping his head in respect. "Our kits have been born, I'm happy to report that the three of them are healthy"

Wolfstar snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention to Oakstrike. He blinked a few times as he processed what the tom said. "Oh okay thank you for telling me." Least there was good news out of all of this.

Oakstrike nodded "Your welcome, if you don't mind me asking, what should I do now?"

Wolfstar stares for a few minutes unsure himself before coming up with something. "I would say." He paused to think and speaks again with a little more confidence. "Check the fresh kill pile and see if anything if any of the prey has been ruined by the rain. If so bury them and maybe get a small hunting patrol to get more. Head more towards the western side of the territory. I don't want anyone going near the campground or near the lake."

Oakstrike walked towards the pile, seeing a soaked finch, taking to the edge of camp he buried it. Looking around camp he saw Briareyes sitting idly "Briareyes! We need a hunting patrol. How would you like to come?" he said.

Briareyes had been busy cleaning herself, both to calm herself and get some mud off of her fur, when she was approached "Of course." She was itching to do something after the fight with the rogues. She was lucky to get out of it without too many injuries, and none that she was worried about. She was quite grateful about this. Her clan would need cats who were ready to hunt and fight while the others rested "Are there others who are able to join? Or is it just the two of us?" She stood up, shaking her fur a bit.

"I think just us, a lot are busy with cleaning up and, ya know, not dying from injuries. Wolfstar told me to head to the western side" he said, trotting out of camp.

(So for fun since I was trying to figure out who would be apprentices with who I sorted out the cat ages by year and there were some baby-booms that happen like once every two years in the clan. Thought it was fairly interesting)
(Also since they were both clan born, and realistically were apprentices together (reason I even started to look into cat ages, when Oakstrike was 6 moons, Briareyes was 10 moons old) I was wondering if you wouldn't mine me rping Briareyes with this fact in mind)
Briareyes was quick to follow after Oakstrike, happy that they were going to avoid the lake, and by proxy the rogues. Both sides had suffered heavy damage so there was little chance of them being attacked by a rogue patrol, but she didn't really want to risk it. "I saw Sageflower go into the nursery earlier. Do you have some good news from that?" She decided to make a bit of small talk as she was also curious on Badgerclaw was doing.

"The kits, and Badgerclaw are healthy" he said, pausing to sniff the air "Those rouges really tore the plca up didn't they, I wonder who Wolfstar will choose as deputy. My bets on Falconfrost or Mudfall"

(Interesting however I think it makes sense. I could see maybe a few cats having kits just so there are future warriors for the clan since cats end up dying so much)

(Were you okay with me rping as if Oakstrike and Briareyes were apprentices together?)
Briareyes purred a bit at the good news "Congratulations" she said to the younger tom. She knew how excited the pair was for this litter, she couldn't think of any lengthy period of time where Oakstrike didn't fret over his mate. She gave pause with the mention of the next deputy "I think there are plenty of cats who would be able to take on the role, I do think what you said would be some good choices. Whoever is chosen has big paws to fill, though" Briareyes had quite liked Blazestorm as deputy, the job was suited for him. She felt a pang of sadness thinking of the previous deputy, the battle had been quick and it felt like one instant Blazestorm was standing defiantly and the next he was gone. "If I had to choose I would personally pick Poppyfall." Even if she doesn't become deputy today, Briareyes could picture her in that position someday.

"Hmm y- wait!" he said, pausing once more. "A finch! You go left and scare it to me" he said creeping forward.

(also seeing if it was alright with Kittyking. I would have to do a lot of research on ages and such to find out who was apprentices together (looking at backstories and all as well) and that is a rabbit hole that I am willing to go down at some point)
Briareyes nodded silently to Oakstrike, keeping her steps light as she stalked to the left. She enjoyed hunting, though she was never as good as her sister was. She pushed any thoughts of that away as soon as they came to mind. She chased the finch over, though still being poised to jump up to the bird in case it flew away from Oakstrike rather than towards him.

(so I kinda guessed on what season it is and went down the rabbit hole. If my math is right I have a few fun facts...
at one point there were 9 apprentices in training
There was a period of 5 moons where Leafshine was the only apprentice
When Wolfstar was born, Blazestorm just became a warrior
The largest 'baby boom' was 9 kits born in a period of 7 moons
Twistedear sees all, if my math was right with him he was a warrior well before any of the other cats were born (at least cats with profiles in the rp))
(My math may be wrong, I intend to relook at my data tomorrow with a clear head to make sure I actually did it right lol)

(Your math seems good, Twistedear is the only elder, so she is a loooot older than the others. It would be fun to rp like they were apprentices together)
The finch took off toward Oakstrike, just like he planned. Oakstrike leaped into the air batting the finch down before landing the final blow. He picked it up in his mouth and buried it. "Do you remember the first prey you caught?" asked Oakstrike

Briareyes thought for a moment "Hm can't say I remember exactly what it was. It was quite a while ago." She purred a bit, relaxing slightly but still trying to find the scent of other prey "probably was a mouse? I really don't know" She turned her head a bit, ears twitching slightly. After a second, she quietly stalked forward and disappeared into the bushes. When she returned she had a single mouse in her jaws. She set it down next to where Oakstrike buried the finch and added it to the growing pile "Speaking of which" she laughed quietly. "What about you? I assume you know since you asked me"

"It was a vole. I remember that day. It was in new-leaf. I was just made an apprentice" Oakstrike said. "I can't wait until my kits get to experience their first kill"

( Ziotsu made me realize that poor silverleaf was pretty much a lone apprentice, Cedarstorm is four moons younger than her. No wonder she's so awkward, she had no kits or other apprentice to play/hang out with. :/ ) |

( Reden : Silverleaf and Spruceblossom were apprentices at the same time. They are both 20 moons old) (If you want I can share the sheets I used to calculate all of this, there may be some mistakes in math but it is at least fairly close) |

(It happens, sometimes it is easy to forget the age of some of the other characters.
Just let me know if you ever want to see the sheets (on google), since I have it filled up I'm thinking of updating it as time goes on)
"They have to be kits first" Briareyes could sympathize with the idea of wanting to see your kits succeed. All she could think about when Crowpaw was a kit was how much she couldn't wait to see what kind of warrior he would become. "Don't worry, though. It's a feeling I am very familiar with, but thinking on it won't make the day come sooner" She only had one litter so far, but she was sure if she ever became an expecting queen again she would go through the same process of imagining what kind of warriors her kits would become.

"Your right, no need to rush it" he said, before dropping into a crouch and stalking toward a vole, he leaped and caught it. "We should head back and take this stuff back to camp, before a badger or something scents it" he said, walking toward the buried prey.

(one of the reasons I did it, I was curious on who Briareyes was an apprentice with so I started to look into it. Like I realized how much Blazestorm saw when I noticed that he literally was a warrior before the next oldest cat in the clan was born (other than Twistedear and Bearstar, Twistedear is old and I have no idea how old Bearstar was/is))
Briareyes thought for a second, trying to think on if they should go back. It was likely that the prey that lives in holes were still out of their homes if they collapsed, but it wasn't a guarantee. Having a few extra pieces of prey available to the clan would be good "Were there any pieces of prey destroyed by the storm?" She asked, if only a couple of pieces were destroyed, then this could be enough. However, if most of the pile was destroyed, she would like to continue. "We can drop off what we caught so far, though" She added.

"Two mice and a finch were ruined. Now that I think about we should hunt some more while we are here" he said, pausing to sniff the air. "Nothing" he said shaking his head,"Let's head towards the gushing river, some water voles ought to be there"
