Sunclan: Ripplecatcher took a bit from his vole. "Well if you do decide I'll join you if you would like?" He bit into the vole again, as a small smile was on his face. He usually wasn't one to enjoy relaxing but in the moment it felt nice. He glanced around the clearing briefly before turning his attention back to the conversation he was having.

OOC ;; Not me ,, sitting here for two hours not realizing we had a new page :^))) I am a fool ALSO Sussuru I think perhaps if we go with the cats having to leave the Island , this is when Briarstar will uh ,, well she gonna die , not to spoil it all but So hopefully Seastep will be prepared for that , I just wanted to run it by ya - it won't happen for a little yet but !! }} (Oh, wow. Hopefully I can do a good job of rping leader when the time comes then. That said, aww, I like Briarstar already heh It'll be a great plot point though!)
I love her , she's like , very much the stern mom but the good mom of the group ;o; I'll be so sad when she passes but I feel like she's already pretty old ( not like Mistystar old , but gettin up there ) and the journey or challenges that lie ahead are better in the paws of someone else , and she knows and trusts Seastep to follow through with that , I think . I would love to see them grow and have a solid homie to homie relationship before she inevitably kicks the bucket ))

Woodpaw walked alongside her, glad to be of use. "Should I go over to the tansy patch over there?", she pointed with her paw.

Moonclan:
Cricketshine turned her head to where Woodpaw was pointing. "Yes, grab as much as you can. I'm going to search for some thyme." She meowed to her apprentice. Cricketshine padded away, but not too far, from her apprentice. She searched through the bushes and undergrowth until she found thyme. When she did, she grabbed a large bundle of it and started to carry it back to where Woodpaw was.
Sunclan:
"I'd like that." Jupitersplash meowed as Ripplecather suggested going with her. She finished her vole in a few quick bites, then stood up and streched. "I'm ready to go when you are!" she meowed as she swished her tail happily

(You bet Seastep's going to be crushed by it - all for the plot as they say - but hopefully he'll be a good leader. Tbh, I should probably work out the exact ages of my cats. I think I'd need Briarstar's as a marker.)
Sunclan;
Amberpaw murmured affirmatively at Minnowpaw's words. He'd heard that the tip of the island was good for more inexperienced cats and he didn't really mind where they went. He turned back to look up at Russetstep, hoping he'd agree. It would be nice to get out of camp, get some fresh air and hone his skills.

(I was wondering if I should start out my character as Driftkit, make him miss the usual sixth-moon initiation as an apprentice because of, say, an extra long pneumonia cough? What do you all think?)

Woodpaw softly padded over to the patch and grabbed as much as her mouth could carry. She walked back and mubled something inaudible through the tansy."Mhmhmhm!"

Pinkpaw pouted a bit, but nodded "Yes Briarstar." it looks like she'd just have to prove herself even further. When her mentor crouched she followed, ears perking up to listen. At the others order she listened closely and took a deep breath, trying to catch the scent of whatever Briarstar had caught onto. There was another short breeze, and she smelled something... finally she opened her eyes and swiveled her ears towards the direction she thought it was coming from "Over there." she whispered.
Sunclan
Koipaw watched the other apprentice stumble over some roots and felt for her. He'd been pretty disoriented when first arriving, and knew how it felt to end up with a face full of sand in front of other clan mates. Koipaw hadn't been to the tip of the island yet, so he fell behind the others, following them and committing the path to memory.

Sunclan: Russetstep glanced to Minnowpaw. "Are..you alright," he had a worried look on his face . "And I have to agree the tip of the island would be a good place to start especially for Koipaw." He glanced at the other apprentices. "Sound good to you two?"
Moonclan: Flashpaw was grateful that she was allowed to join and followed after her leader. She kept her pace to a walk despite her desire to run but had to remind herself she wasn't with Wolfmist. She crouched when she saw Briarstar fleck her tail. She sniffed at the air upon the older she cat's direction. She glanced in the direction that Pinkpaw pointed out.

Moonclan:
Cricketshine flicked her tail for Woodpaw to follow her as she padded back towards camp. She stopped occasionally to make sure her apprentice was following her. Once she got to camp she padded into her den and set the thyme down.

(Reposting this so it doesn't get buried.)
Moonclan;
"Yes," Seastep mewed in answer to Wolfmist's question, "Briarstar is concerned that they might be getting closer to the island." He walked through the forested terrain, wondering what exactly they'd be able to do about it if that was indeed the case. No-furs...were unpleasant to deal with and unpredictable. What could they even want? They had the mainland. Shaking these thoughts from his mind, he turned his attention to Morningleap and Thistlepaw, quietly listening.
Sunclan;
Amberpaw dropped behind Minnowpaw and Russetpelt a little, nodding when Russetstep prompted them. It was probably a good idea to let the warrior and his apprentice lead. Seeing Koipaw at the back, he considered slowing to walk beside him, but decided against it. He probably didn't want to be bothered and Amberpaw was worried about overloading him. He was sure he could ask about the mainland later when he was more comfortable. He drew in a breath of fresh forest air. "Our first gathering is tomorrow," he murmured gently, almost to himself, feeling his paws thrill with excitement.

OOC ;; So if for arguement's sake we say the average elder retires to the elder's den at say , the cat equivalent of 55-60 and pass around like 70-80 , Briarstar is probably in her early to mid 50s , but I like to think that leaders just age slower in little ways because they have their 9 lives }}

( Mayhemβ’ Alright, good to know. I felt Seastep was relatively young, but I wasn't sure how much because he's presumably had an apprentice before ππππππππππππ That'd be an interesting pair to have interact - sounds fun. )

Koipaw watched the other apprentice stumble over some roots and felt for her. He'd been pretty disoriented when first arriving, and knew how it felt to end up with a face full of sand in front of other clan mates. Koipaw hadn't been to the tip of the island yet, so he fell behind the others, following them and committing the path to memory. βοΈ Minnowpaw shook away her embarrassment and pressed on , leaping out of the brush and onto the rest of the beach . She beckoned the other apprentices with her tail and stepped into the water , feeling a sense of relief . " Emberstar told me once that the water is your best friend and your worst enemy when you're trying to fish , " she chuckled , " You want to make sure you're deep enough to catch something , but not so deep that it slows you down , " she waded through the surprisingly clear water , trying not to wobble on the large stones , resting her tail just on top of the water to steady her until she was up to her elbows .
π Briarstar nodded ; a squirrel was sitting on the ground a pawful of tail - lengths ahead of Pinkpaw and Flashpaw . " While it's nice to be responsible for a catch , you need to know when you're in a position to ask for help , " She looked over her shoulder to Flashpaw , " Flashpaw , I want you to go around Pinkpaw and I to the left . When Pinkpaw is close enough , it's going to run , and you and I are going to surround it . Understood ? " She gave her a comforting smile ; she knew she used to struggle with those pesky squirrels when she was young ; they could be intimidating - they weren't exactly the size of mice . But she had faith these two could take it down together . She hoped Pinkpaw would gain the ability to work well with others without her pride getting in the way , and perhaps Flashpaw would benefit from a confidence boost . Briarstar chuckled inwardly ; perhaps these two would balance each other out .
After instructing the apprentices , Briarstar slipped back and let them go ahead of her while she moved around both of them to surround the squirrel from another side , moving silently through the mossy ground . Unluckily for this squirrel , the cats were in prime territory for taking him down ; they were downwind , and the ground was soft and quiet .

(Sorry guys I donβt have much time to reply today π©)
π Wolfmist nodded. βHopefully they mean no harm.β The she-cat shrugged lightly, not worrying about it yet. βLetβs get going.β She meowed and started to move into the territory, watching behind her to see if the others were following. Wolfmist wanted to get a move on and see if those monsters were still out there.
βSo.. uh.. did you have a fun morning?β Thislepaw asked Morningleap, shuffling his paws awkwardly under him. He could feel Seastepβs gaze burning in his back and it made him feel uneasy. Was he doing something wrong? Or did he have something in his fur? His ears flicked softly, while he hoped Morningleap could continue the conversation.

Moonclan
Pinkpaw -- training The apprentice nodded, but she was almost certain she could catch it on her own. She slowly made her way to where she'd been instructed to go, keeping low to the ground and her pawsteps quiet. If she could just get a bit closer, and a bit to the side... Pinkpaw moved just beyond where she was suppose to go and lunged, claws outstretched. The angle she had charged at had gotten her closer, just missing the squirrel by a whisker, but it also would probably make it flee in a slightly different direction than her mentor and the other apprentice. Pinkpaw cursed when she just missed the prey, practically feeling it's fur against her paws.
Morningleap -- patrol The warrior almost jumped in surprise when the apprentice spoke up. He'd been enjoying the quiet territory and fresh air, forgetting that he was supposed to be a mentor "Oh, um. Yes. I was going to help with some herb gathering, but this patrol is also important." he nodded, glancing at Seastep out of the corner of his eye. Ok ok, time to be a mentor. He remembered his mentor quizzing him on things as they travelled during patrols so he asked "Now Thistlepaw, I want you to guess what weather we'll be having." he looked up to the sky "The ocean is quite important to us, but it's fickle and dangerous in the wrong conditions. What ways do you know of to predict the weather? Don't worry if you don't know. Just take a guess."
The warrior wasn't good at battling, not a fantastic hunter either. But he spent a lot of time lounging around and watching the sky, the sea, and the land. He'd picked up on a lot of things that changed in the environment when storms were coming, or if the day was going to be clear. There was no way to tell for sure, but there were signs you could find to give you a general idea.
Sunclan
Koipaw -- fishing patrol Koipaw stared down at the water before pushing in after the rest of their small group. After the storm that had swept him out here he'd never been truly comfortable in it. But this wasn't too deep. He'd manage.

all good jademist) Moonclan: Flashpaw gave a nod. "A-alright,' she said as she moved to the left going around the other two cats, staying low to the ground. She kept her eyes focused on the ground were she put her paws not wanting to make the mistake of stepping a branch, occasionally her gaze would drift to the others cats and the prey to make sure she was in the position she was needed in.

Moonclan:
Cricketshine looked at the herbs scattered on the floor of the den. "Yes, and after you're done you can get started on the thyme." She meowed to Woodpaw as she started to put the tansy away. She found a few old withering strands and pulled them out to put in a pile.

π Thistlepaw nodded and his pale blue gaze scanned his surroundings as if the answers were written somewhere in front of him. The leaves of the trees rustled above them and a few clouds slowly passed over. After a moment of pondering he finally spoke up. βI think you can take a guess by the way the wind is blowing the leaves? And the height of the waves, maybe also the shape of the clouds.β The young tom suggested as he tried to come up with more answers. His whiskers trembled softly in the salty breeze that came from the ocean. He loved the fresh smell of the sea and the feeling of the wind through his black fur. Thistlepaw turned his hopeful gaze to Morningleap, eagerly awaiting his answer. It seemed like he would learn a lot of stuff today after all.

π The squirrel let out a shriek as Pinkpaw hit the ground next to him , and he immediately scrambled to find his footing . As he took off , he saw Flashpaw approaching and attempted to bolt in another direction . Unfortunately for him , Briarstar was already on the move ; she bolted forward with surprising speed for her age , winding her tail around in a circle to help her keep her balance . She reached out her claws and raked the side of him , sending it back towards Pinkpaw , " Go for the back of the neck with your teeth ! " She yowled .

Moonclan;
Seastep was a little surprised to hear Morningleap question Thistlepaw about the weather. It was something not enough warriors paid attention to as far as he was concerned, and the deputy was impressed that he was already explaining it's importance to his apprentice.Perhaps I judged Morningleap too quickly, he mused. The fickleness of the weather and the great impact it could have on ordinary activities was something he himself had stressed to Antnibble - then Antpaw. Seastep couldn't help but think of Dawnpaw for a brief moment. He hadn't meant to...it was just that...had they payed more attention to the weather that day...maybe... The blue-furred tom looked up to see the shoreline, glimmering in the sunshine ahead.
Sunclan;
Amberpaw gingerly followed the others into the water and, following Minnowpaw's lead, rested his kinked tail gently on top of the water. He felt himself stumble a little from the still fairly new sensation of his paws against stone and cold water seeping into his fur. He sighed softly, regaining his composure. "Emberstar also says we should make sure our shadows don't cover the fish we're trying to catch, right?" he mewed after a moment's thought.
