MoonClan: Woodflower nodded. Ravenwing was making sense. "You make a fair point. I still think we should try to discus something, though. We could try to set up a conversation between the leaders, although it might be better if we had someone like Wavestep or one of us talk with Emberstar, as dont think hed be willing to talk with Briarstar, for whatever reason. So, later today? I can go with or without you.". She finished. (That last bit there wasn't an aggressive statement.)

Ravenwing | with Woodflower
The medicine cat looked thoughtful before saying "I would suggest we let things cool down. I do not believe that talk between clans will do any good while tempers are high." they were glad that Woodflower was eager to do something, but they were also worried how the other cats would react to the push to come up with a solution. Letting things calm down might serve them better "Pushing for this could also put you at risk. I don't want you getting hurt." Emberstar wouldn't likely do anything, but they still worried.

MoonClan: Woodflower looked at her former mentor. "Ok, without you then. I respect your opinion, but Pinestripes kits wont wait for everyone to cool down. Im not saying we have to do it immediately, but it does need to be discussed." Woodflower glanced around, looking for jobs to do. "Now, im going to see if anyone needs help, and I'll talk to Briarstar when she comes back to camp.

Ravenwing | with Woodflower
Their eyes narrowed "Woodflower, you may have your full name but it would still do you good to respect me. If you act like this all the time, it is only a matter of time before someone doesn't respect you. Your duty to Moonclan should come first, even if someone in Sunclan could benefit from your help." they stood and stretched "You may have your full name, but you are still my apprentice. A medicine cat that acts on emotions alone will eventually become useless to their clan." they were bluntly honest about the truth, or at least what they had learned to be the truth. One day Woodflower would learn. Ravenwing turned and headed back towards the den, planning on checking their herb supply before heading out to check the growth of nearby patches.

MoonClan: Woodflower stood in the clearing in shock. "Acting like what?" she called. "A person who cares about cats who need their help? Im doing the right thing here! Your too bound by Clan borders to see that we need to act on this!" She turned around and walked away. She would talk to Briarstar anyway, no matter what Ravenwing said. She was a medicine cat now, and she could make her own decisions.

βοΈ Tigerpaw watched Pinestripe walk away with Meadowsweet before she turned her gaze back to Amberpaw. βWhat happened?β She asked, noting the look of concern on his face. Her tail twitched nervously. Sheβd only be able to pick up Emberstarβs last words and her motherβs distressed face. She could piece together what probably went down but she wanted to hear the full story. It didnβt seem like a medicine cat from Moonclan would come over to help out, of that she was sure. What did that mean for her mother and the kits she carried with her? No. She told herself to stop her from worrying prematurely, she had to hear Amberpaw out first. Maybe it wasnβt that bad, right?
βοΈ Pinestripe forcefully swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as Meadowsweet spoke of what was said at the gathering. It was silent between the she-cats for a moment before Pinestripe lifted her head to look at her clanmate. βThank you Meadowsweet. I really appreciate you telling me.β She paused for a heartbeat, her mind racing. What could she do? βIβ¦ I just donβt know what to do. I donβt want to leave my clan, my home and all my clanmates. I will miss Tigerpaw and Amberpawβs warrior ceremonies..β She trailed off, searching the ground for answers. Her heart wrenched at the thought of not being able to be there for the apprentices. She had a special place in her heart for them, Tigerpaw being her first kit and Amberpaw who she considered to be one of her own too. Would they be okay without her? Probably.. but would she be okay without them? And to give birth without the love and support of her beloved mate.. Nothing seemed to work out the way she hoped. βWhat do you think I should do?β The queen asked Meadowsweet, turning her worried green gaze back to her again. Her voice laced thick with a desperate undertone.

βοΈ
Amberpaw Amberpaw sighed. "For whatever reason, we aren't getting any help from Moonclan." He shook his head, his tail-tip twitching back and forth. There was confusion beneath his anxiety. He still didn't understand what had happened at the gathering. "That leaves us with no medicine cat and Pinestripe..." He trailed off and glanced once more at Meadowsweet and Pinestripe. Having no medicine cat was always going to be awful, but even more so when they had an expectant queen. "But, I'm sure Emberstar has a plan, right? And Willowsong? She said they were going to find a solution."Meadowsweet The question made Meadowsweet wince. What a terrible choice to have to make. One she shouldn't have to make, she realised, feeling a surprising stab of resentment towards Emberstar. A long moment passed as she tried to decide how she was going to answer her. "If it were me, I would go," she answered gently, sympathy in her green eyes and in her voice. "If you go...well, you could always come back once the kits are strong enough to walk, right? Staying here, without a medicine cat? I wouldn't feel safe..." Her heart ached for her clanmate and what she would have to leave behind, but both Pinestripe and her kits would be safer on the other side of the island. Of that she was sure. "I don't know about Tigerpaw and Amberpaw... but maybe they would allow Ripplecatcher to come with you?" She offered though she was uncertain as to whether Briarstar would welcome both cats. |

βοΈ Tigerpaw looked puzzled. βI donβt understand.. Why wouldnβt they help us?β Her fur prickled with unease. She knew how scared her mother was to lose kits. When Tigerpaw was a kit sheβd felt smothered by her motherβs love and protective nature but as she had gotten older she understood why. Sometimes Tigerpaw had even complained about not having siblings. A pang of guilt shot through her at the memory of it. She would put her hope in Emberstar and Willowsong coming up with a plan, making sure her mother and half-siblings would be healthy and well.. alive. βI hope so.. I mean, they canβt leave her to give birth without a medicine cat, right? Emberstar wouldnβt do that.β She sounded unsure and just the thought of it made her anxious.
βοΈ Pinestipe contemplated Meadowsweetβs answer. The she-cat was right. It would be the safest option to leave to Moonclan for the time being. And the truth was she didnβt feel safe without a medicine cat to monitor the health of her kits. With a medicine cat around she had already been stressed, without one could only be worse. It was just hard to comprehend that the leader sheβd looked up to for moons refused help when she needed it the most. And now she would have to leave her home and the clanmates she cared about deeply.. What would happen to them? If Emberstar denied help to a pregnant queen she was sure every little injury of her clanmates could become fatal since it wouldnβt get the medical attention it needed. A shudder went along her spine at the thought. βI think youβre right.β She sighed. βIβm afraid Moonclan wouldnβt want more mouths to feed though..β Even though she was unhappy with the whole situation she was grateful Meadowsweet took the time to think with her. It comforted her to know that while Emberstar might not care about her well-being too much, she could always rely on her clanmates.

βοΈ
Amberpaw "I don't know," Amberpaw mewed helplessly. Briarstar had always seemed reasonable, hadn't she? So why were they no better off than before the gathering? "You're right." He calmed down a bit and had to stifle a yawn. This was the longest he had stayed up in a good while and new-found anxiety had certainly added to his fatigue. "They'll work something out and it'll turn out that we were all worrying over nothing." He tried to sound confident despite the doubts nagging at the back of his mind. He didn't want to say that everything was going to be alright when he wasn't sure of that himself but if the leader and deputy were working on a solution, he had to believe that they were going to find one. "I'm sorry for panicking, Tigerpaw."Meadowsweet
Meadowsweet looked down at her paws. Pinestripe wasn't someone she had spoken to often, however, she was her clanmate and seeing her so distressed was hard to watch. "Did... you want to leave it for a few days? Or...?" Or leave tonight, she finished silently, guilt prickling the fur on the back of her neck. If Pinestripe left for Moonclan and something bad happened, she knew she would feel awful about it. And what if Emberstar did come up with a plan that meant Pinestripe could stay and give birth safely? Am I just meddling in a situation that'll solve itself? |

Sunclan
Emberstar looked to Willowsong when they got inside his den. "I didn't appreciate what you did at the gathering," he spoke, with a glare. "We need to stand untied on what I think is best for our clan." He flicked his tail, as he settled into a sitting position. "Now we need to figure out what to do with the expecting queen." He licked at his paw. "What cat do you think will be a good choice to ask to be the medicine cat, or even just a she cat that has had kits that could help Pinestripe when the time comes."

βοΈ Tigerpaw nodded at Amberpaw, she really hoped the tom was right. They were worrying over nothing and a solution would probably present itself soon β is what she printed in her mind to keep her from stressing. βDonβt worry about it. Iβm kinda scared too..β She admitted the last part softly, hoping it wouldnβt add too much to Amberpawβs worries. Emberstar had always looked like a strong reliable leader to her, surely heβd know what to doβ¦ βLet get back to our den and get some sleep. Maybe everything will work out tomorrow.β Tigerpaw meowed and comfortingly touched her tail to Amberpawβs. She didnβt want to think of what could happen to her mother and she tried her hardest to push her worries to the back of her mind.
βοΈ Pinestripe thought for a moment. βI think I will sleep on it for tonight. Hopefully tomorrow Emberstar and Willowsong will have thought of something. If not.. well, then Iβd have to leave for Moonclan that night. I guess that would be the best plan.β She meowed, her tone more decisive now. βThank you so much Meadowsweet, for helping me. Iβll let you know if and when Iβd leave. I just need a few moments to process this.β The queen meowed. She wanted to talk it over with Ripplecatcher too, they were his kits as well.
βοΈ βItβs not that we arenβt united, because I hope we still serve the same shared goal. Which is to ensure the safety of Sunclan.β Willowsong meowed, her tailtip twitching softly. βI was trying to find a solution and not to divide us, I hope you know that.β She gestured with her tail from Emberstar to herself.
βAbout the medicine cat. Honestly the cat I know who has a lot of knowledge about common injuries would be, ironically, Pinestripe. However, she cannot take that role right now. Maybe Koipaw could learn basic herb knowledge from Ravenwing and Woodflower? Heβs young and doensβt seem to be very skilled at fighting and hunting yet. Even if heβd rather stay a warriorβs apprentice this knowledge could always come in handy. What do you think?β She paused, thinking for a moment.
βBut that wonβt be a short-term solution for Pinestripe. I think we should leave her to make her own choice, whether that would be staying here or travelling to Moonclan. None of our current warriors have kitted before, so they wouldnβt know what to do.β Willowsong tried to read Emberstar's face, curious for his opinion on her suggestions. She was worried he'd be reluctant to have anything to do with Moonclan. If Pinestripe made the choice to leave for Moonclan by herself it wouldn't look like Emberstar was crawling back; it would be the best move to keep Emberstar happy and to keep Pinestripe and her kits safe.

βοΈ
Amberpaw Amberpaw set off towards the apprentice's den, letting his fur brush hers slightly in what he hoped would be a comforting gesture. There was no point in worrying themselves sick over something they couldn't control. He sunk down into his nest nearby Tigerpaw's, thankful for the warmth of the moss and bracken on his fur. "Good night," he meowed quietly. He had thought that sleep would be hard to come by after the night's events. Even so, he could already feel himself slipping into rest.Meadowsweet Meadowsweet blinked in understanding. "Yes, of course. I'll see you tomorrow, Pinestripe." The she-cat rose to her paws to start to head back to the warrior's den. "Sleep well," she mewed and left the piece of prey she had taken for the other she-cat next to her. She put her own back on the pile as she passed. Pinestripe's decision to wait had left her with a surge of relief - this would give Emberstar time to think of a plan, something less drastic than a queen leaving her clan. |

π Pinkpaw | with Briarstar
The apprentice perked up at the idea of doing some training "Yeah! Let's go!" she jumped to her paws. Pinkpaw was still mad, but still young enough that just the mention of training did wonders for her mood. Even with everything going on, she was still as eager as always to keep her position as the most promising apprentice, self appointed.
The tortoiseshell she-cat gave a small smile before heading towards the camp's entrance , resting her tail on Pinkpaw's shoulder . " I could see by the look on your face you weren't exactly thrilled about what I had to say earlier , " she almost seemed to smirk , " Why is that ? "
Her gaze was calm as she looked forward , curious to hear her answer , though she was certain she already knew why . She was young once too , once upon a time . Still , she was curious , and thought it might be a good moment to share with her apprentice as they made their way to one of the training patches . |

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar
The apprentice huffed and lashed her tail "I don't know why you're offering to help them." she meowed, frowning "All Emberstar does is look down on us, if he wants his clan to fall we should let it." Pinkpaw did consider Moonclan to be better, and after seeing the other leader disrespect her mentor she obviously wasn't happy with how this had all ended up. Why help a clan with a leader that did nothing but show distain and distrust towards them?

Pinkpaw did consider Moonclan to be better, and after seeing the other leader disrespect her mentor she obviously wasn't happy with how this had all ended up. Why help a clan with a leader that did nothing but show distain and distrust towards them? Of course , Briarstar wasn't surprised ; she was the same way when she was young . Still , she wasn't frustrated with Pinkpaw - when your world was so small yet , it was hard to imagine what was outside of it and to see how one thing affected another and another ...
" Hmm , I see . " She seemed as though she were in though , swishing her tail from side to side slowly as she headed down the slope to the flatland . " Well , think about it this way ; what would happen if Dawn decided one day to never lower the sun to make way for the moon ? The wildlife and herbs would die out , and the lake would run dry . " Briarstar tipped her head to the side as she stepped over a tree root . " And if Midnight never lowered the moon , nothing would grow in the first place - and no cat would be able to grow strong and healthy . Think of it kind of like that , "
Briarstar and Pinkpaw had made it to the training spot , and Briarstar crouched down , almost seeming to regain some last splinters of youth , " Without one , the other would fall . Sunclan may not be in the right frame of mind , but not extending a paw would be the downfall for both clans . I understand why you see it the way you do , and if I didn't have all these years on my pelt I'd probably agree with you , " She chuckled , " But there's more to it than you think . You're smart , Pinkpaw , you'll see it some day . "
In a moment , she leaped over Pinkpaw and aimed a clawless swipe at her paws in attempts to knock her off her feet . " And don't forget , we're training and talking ! " She grinned . |

moonclan
Creeksplash grumpily sat, mentally ridiculing Sunclan's leader as he thought over Briarstar's clan gathering. What a mousebrain for refusing our help! he thought, clawing at the ground beneath him with annoyance. "He'll only end up regretting it once it's too late.." He murmured to himself. Boredom itched at his fur as he laid down, fixed on the leader's words.

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar
Pinkpaw still didn't look convinced "Moonclan would survive. We're strong!" if everyone was just half as good as she considered herself to be, then they'd have no trouble. The apprentice seemed to be thinking when Briarstar suddenly lunged at her. She squawked in surprise and dove to the side, just managing to dodge. Pinkpaw moved with the momentum, rolling to her paws and ending in a low attack position. She swished her tail to the side to balance out the movement before jumping towards her mentor.
Morningleap | open
Everyone one else may have been awake, but Morningleap had already been awake and gone back to snoozing away. He was often moving earlier than anyone, but when everyone else had awoken he'd gone back to sleep. The golden furred warrior had found a nice patch of grass to curl up on, the suns rays shining off his clean pelt. His form raised and fell slowly, showing that he was deep in sleep. The warrior was the picture of 'comfortable'.
βοΈ
Mallowpool | open
The incident with Emberstar and Briarstar was still fresh on Mallowpools mind. But she was looking around for her apprentice this morning. She thought doing some hunting would do them all some good. Get her mind off things, train her apprentice, and get food for a clan that was full of worry and uncertainty. Plus hunting was fun! Who would want to turn that down? Mallowpool may have a deep love for combat, but she also found fun in a good hunt.
Koipaw | open
Things were still heavy and Koipaw hadn't done much interaction with the rest of the clan. He was currently sat at the fresh kill pile, slowly chipping away at a fish. He didn't have the same unease as the rest of the clan, but he also felt even more out of place. Shaking his head he finished off the fish and stood, stretching out his limbs. Things would eventually get back to normal, or at least what he had learned to consider normal.

βοΈ βGood night Amberpaw.β Tigerpaw meowed as she curled up in the nest next to the tom, drifting off into her dreamworld again. Sleeping her worries away for the night. When she woke up again in the morning she was still a little drowzy and the fuzzy memories from yesterday flooded back to her mind. She shook her head. First sheβd need to train today, then sheβd see how the rest of the day went. Sheβd make sure to see how her mom was doing after training. Emerging from the apprentices den she glanced around for Mallowpool.
βοΈ Pinestripe meowed a soft βgood nightβ after the she-cat, thankful for their conversation. She took a moment to eat the prey Meadowsweet brought, only now realising how hungry she had been. After she finished eating and gave herself a few swipes over her ear with her paw she returned to the nursery for some much needed sleep. Once she laid in her nest it was hard to drift off, worries clouding her mind.
π Wolfmist had woken up today feeling better and fitter. Determined to be her full self again. Sheβd listened to Briarstarβs recap from last night with great interest, filling the gaps from what sheβd missed. She could hear Creeksplashβs annoyed grumble from nearby. βDo you think Emberstar will come crawling back with a tail between his legs or would he just let Sunclan crumble to keep his pride?β She offered the tom a rhethoric question β ofcourse it would be the second option, knowing the Sunclan leader. The warrior stretched casually as she awaited Creeksplashβs reply.

Briarstar seemed to raise up onto her back paws , letting Pinkpaw collide with her - but as she did , she grabbed her with her paws and flipped her up and over onto her back with her hind legs . Of course , she did her best not to be too rough to the young cat as she dropped back to the ground .
" No one can survive without the night , sure , but no one can survive without the sun , either . Now - " She stood up and shook out her pelt , " You can expect that cats are going to underestimate you because you're a bit on the skinnier side , as I am , " She lifted a paw , " They'll think they can throw you around like a little pinecone . However , you can use your lightness to your benefit . You'll be quicker on your feet , and you'll be able to slip under them and attack vulnerable spots , like their bellies , "
She crouched down , swishing her tail , " I want you to find a way to get your sheathed , " She smirked , " claws to my belly . Think about how you can counter someone who's bigger than you using your own stature . It'll be one of your best assets , so don't underestimate it . " |

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar
The apprentice narrowed her eyes and considered her options. Ideally, she'd be quick enough to never get pinned, but Briarstar was right. She needed to learn how to get out of this situation "I can slip out from under them, or to the side." she suggested after a moment of thought "Or attack their legs and stomach." she heard of a warrior that had the back of their paw cut and wasn't able to use it anymore. Not that it was in her nature to be cruel with her attacks, but it would still technically work.
She pushed up with her paws as an example. Pinkpaw used just enough strength to escape, not looking to hurt her mentor. Pinkpaw adored Briarstar after all and would feel terrible hurting the older she-cat.
βοΈ
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
"Tigerpaw!! Good morning!" Mallowpool greeted, trotting over to the apprentice "How do you feel about a hunt? Because I am craving a squirrel and they're so fun to hunt." snapping her attention back she added "It's good to practice catching them as well." it seemed Mallowpool had her heart set on the idea, but she did pause and give Tigerpaw a chance to reply. Hunting or training with someone who didn't want to was no fun after all.

Sunclan Emberstar scoffed at the she cat's words slightly, of course his goal was the safety of his clan. He just didn't want the help of Briarstar, he didn't trust nor any of the cats in that clan, he would rather get the help of a fox, the russet creatures were far more trustworthy. "We could always have Koipaw take over yes, he commented licking a paw. "Mabye even have his mentor help out in there as well, that way an older cat is with him to prevent him from making mistakes." He gave no comment as to sending him to learn from the two Moonclan medicine cats on purpose, hoping the deputy would get the message he had no desire to turn to Moonclan. "As for Pinestripe," he said, fixing a sharp gaze on her. "She is to stay in the camp where it is safe. if she leaves, and I mean these words, as long as I am still leader, she and her kits will not be welcomed back to this clan." He meant the words, if the queen choose to leave for Moonclan, he didn't care for the Sunclan blood in the she cat's veins, she would be a traitor in his eyes and he will ensure that she would be seen the same in his clanmates eyes. hehe yea that wont last long for you emberstar considering how this plot will end  i'll get some stuff up for my other cats in a bit, this covid shot be slowly activating its symptoms) |

(I'll sort out starters for Wavestep and Brightpaw in a bit ^^) βοΈ
Amberpaw
Amberpaw left the den shortly after Tigerpaw. Today would be his first training session with Willowsong and he had to admit that he was a little nervous about it. He didn't dislike the older she-cat, but he also didn't know her like he did Pinestripe. And... she's kinda intimidating. Still, he would give it his all and hope to impress her. Who knew, maybe he would be able to find out what they were going to do about Pinestripe.
Meadowsweet
Meadowsweet walked up to Koipaw, trying to hide a yawn. Last night's sleep had been restless, full of unpleasant images of injuries and blood-stained fur. "Good morning, Koipaw," she greeted him brightly, hoping to compensate for the tiredness that dragged at her fur like water. There was nothing like a good training session to wake her up. "Are you ready to leave? I was thinking we could do some swimming today."
Swanfeather
Swanfeather sat by the fresh kill pile, licking a paw and drawing it over her face. Since the first time she had met Alderfang by the border, she had been going to see him most nights. With everything that was going on within the clans, his presence was a comfort to her, a respite from politics and the frayed nerves of her clanmates. She had not met up with him on the night of the gathering, however, and so, today, she was feeling better rested than usual. |

( Donβt worry about it Ember34 , I hope the symptoms from the shot arenβt too bad!) βοΈ βMorning Mallowpool!β Tigerpaw smiled, Mallowpoolβs enthousiasm always managed to cheer her up. βWell, I guess weβll have to go with hunting squirrels then.β She didnβt mind, hunting would be good to practice anyway and hopefully they could return to camp with a few nice squirrels to share with the clan - and especially with Amberpaw. She stretched her white legs. βRace ya to the forest?β The apprentice grinned as she trotted in place, ready to take off. βοΈ Willowsong raised her eyebrows in surprise at his last words. βDonβt you think thatβs a little harsh for a cat that has been loyal to Sunclan all her life, trained loyal warriors under her and provides us with a next generation of warriors?β She didnβt even want to go back to the subject of Koipaw not learning from the Moonclan medicine cats; heβd just have to get the medical knowledge from some magical talking trees apparently. Pausing for a moment, she eyed the tom up and down, her pale blue gaze sporting a hint of worry. Sometimes it felt like the Sunclan leader was losing his grip on reality and just lived in his own world. βWhat is your problem with Briarstar? Why does she rustle you fur so much?β There had to be a reason for Emberstar to dislike her so much that heβd refuse to have anything to do with her β or even her clanmates. βοΈ Pinestripe woke up from an unsatisfying sleep, she didnβt really want to leave the nursery today. She was scared at what this day would bring. It was hard to stay positive and hope for the best when the one cat that decided over her fate and that of her kits didnβt seem to care too much about it. Emberstarβs words had felt like a stab in the back and Willowsong hadnβt given her much comfort either. Pinestripe slowly got up and poked her head out of the den, looking for Ripplecatcher. Maybe he knew what to do and if he didnβt she could at least bury her head in his soft fur to get away from it all. Even if it was only for a heartbeat. |

Sunclan:
Emberstar flicked his tail calmly. "Which is why she would not be allowed back, if she is so willing to leave all that behind," he commented. He watched her through narrowed eyes. "Briarstar knows what she did," he spoke. The tom flicked his ear as he debated on telling what was the reason for his dislike for Briarstar. "She is the reason my mother is dead." He looked to the deputy before out to the entrance of the den. He hadn't realized the sun was coming up, already. "Sort out the morning patrols and get some rest."
Russeststep exited the warrior's den, the tom stretching before moving out of the way of the entrance. The quiet tom watched the clan slowly stirring to life. H had heard about what had happened at the gathering from what the cats that went had said, and the yelling from last night gave a clear idea. He moved to lay down to groom his fur as he waited to see if patrols would head out, the tom hoping to go out hunting.
Ripplecatcher exited the warrior's den. He had heard what happened between Pinestripe and Emberstar, but the tom had been unable to comfort his mate at the time. He noticed her leaving the nursery and headed over to her, giving a gentle lick on her head when he reached her. "hey, you doing okay," he asked with a worried frown. "Can I do anything for you? Get you something to eat" He wanted to make her feel better but wasn't certain how she wanted him to.
Scorchmist exited the warrior's den. The she cat was disappointed with how the gathering went last night. She still had quite a few shells, but maybe she could give them out to her clanmates or she could always save them should she get to go to the next gathering. She moved away from the warrior's den to go and grab something to eat before stopping, she should wait till Pinestripe had eaten.
I'll get Moonclan cats up in a bit)

Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
The warrior nodded and jumped into a crouched position. She made sure Tigerpaw knew where they were going before "Three, two one, go!" Mallowpool took off, charging out of the camp and into the forest. Mallowpool certianly wasn't as swift as some other warriors, but she was quick enough. Though, Tigerpaw seemed to be keeping up well with her.
Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
Koipaw didn't notice the warrior approaching him and jumped a little when she spoke. He glanced over and nodded his head "Oh, yes." the calico tom stood and stretched out before standing straight. He followed after Meadowsweet. As they walked, he shuffled his paws a bit "Are you... alright?" he questioned eventually, noticing that the she-cat seemed a bit tired. He may suck at hunting and fighting, but he was good at noticing small details.

Moonclan:
Flashpaw exited the apprentice den. She looked around the clearing hoping to spot her mentor, wanting to be able to go out and train, or at the very least ask the questions that she had in regards to how she heard the gathering went. She saw her menotr talking with another warrior, and choose to stay away and let the warrior converse, it was probably annoying having a young cat constantly hanging around her all the time.
Feathersong was still fast asleep in her nest. Her tail curled around her form, as she tucked her nose under her paws. She didn't notice when her adoptive brother had tripped on her. The dark grey she cat was dreaming of the mainland, she had never been on it, so she didn't have much of an idea of what the place was like, apart from what she had heard of it from her clanmates.
Iceleap was out in the clearing, the small tom was eager to get out into the forest. "Maybe I could just go out on my own," he commented to himself. He had done so in the past, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal if he did the same now. He debated on asking someone if they wanted to join him, as he did know that more than one cat was better as more prey could be caught, and they could work together to catch something such as a rabbit.
Alderfang had tripped on Feathersong, the tom yawning sleepily. He offered a vague apology, as he continued on his way out. He stretched when he exited the warrior's den. He thought over what Briarstar had said, he felt worry running through him. Was Swanfeather going to be okay? Hopefully he could meet her whether it just be on a passing border patrol, to be able to check on her, granted yes he was concerned for the other cats in Sunclan, not having a medicine cat was dangerous.

Meadowsweet
Meadowsweet looked at Koipaw and smiled faintly. "Yes, I'm alright, don't worry," she meowed back, not sure if she had simply done a bad job at hiding her weariness or if her apprentice was more observant than she gave him credit for. She guessed it was the latter. "You've probably noticed that everyone's been tense lately." How confusing it all must be for Koipaw. I don't expect him to understand the significance of recent events. "Do you have any questions?" As a member of Sunclan, he deserved to know what was going on. If he had any questions, she was happy to answer them.
Swanfeather
Swanfeather, noticing Russetstep sitting on his own, paused in her washing and padded over to him. "Morning, Russetstep." The white and brown tom was much quieter than she was and so, they hadn't spoken often. They had been apprentices together though, being around the same age. "How are things?" |

A black , red , and white mass moved through the water without a sound , and hauled itself out and onto the shore with long , thick claws that never seemed to slip back into their paws . Rosethorn shook out her pelt vigorously , and it almost appeared as though it hadn't gotten wet to begin with ... The massive calico shecat smirked as she sniffed the air , picking up a familiar scent that clung to a few of those cats that came from the Island to the mainland . As she crept her way up the side of the Island towards the scent she'd been picking up , her lip curled . Certainly smelled like an odd combination - something collecting dust and kitten fur . Must be a young cat and an older cat . I wonder ... She crouched and slowly began to creep towards the voices that started to grow in volume ... It didn't sound like those healer cats she'd let get battered around by badgers - she chuckled to herself at the memory . It had been easy .
Too easy .
And where was the fun in it ? She hadn't even gotten the chance to get her paws dirty . No , she let them do the dirty work , her time had yet to come .
Pushing through the undergrowth , her vivid green eyes narrowed as she finally found what she'd been looking for . A young black and white cat , and an older tortoiseshell , just as she'd expected . She knew what she came here for , but watching the two interact lead Rosethorn to believe that the older cat was quite a bit smarter than she seemed . She held herself in a way that Rosethorn had seen before , and she knew this was going to be an interesting turn of events . Nonetheless , everything would go according to plan .
" Hello ? ... Hello ? " She called out quietly , making sure to make more noise that previously . She made herself sound small , unassuming ...
-
Briarstar was about to respond to Pinkpaw when she suddenly went on high alert , leaping over top of her and resting her paw on her apprentice's head . " Who's there ? " She demanded , though tried not to sound too abrasive . It didn't sound like any cat she knew , and how had they managed to get this close without being detected ? Briarstar's eyes narrowed , only to widen as she caught sight of the large cat pushing her way through the ferns and low hanging branches . Great Starclan ...
" You'd better have an awfully good reason to be trespassing on Moonclan territory , stranger , " She flicked her tail and stepped in front of Pinkpaw . The poor apprentice looked like she might get squished by the large cat's tail alone .
" This is Moonclan territory ? Oh dear , I'm so sorry , I came here in search of Sunclan - "
Briarstar looked to Pinkpaw before she looked back to the calico .
" What do you know of Sunclan ? Who are you ? "
" My name is Rosethorn , and I came here on account of a very interesting dream one of my Sisters had not too long ago . She spoke of a clan on a beach that was suffering terribly , cats were sick and dying ... I wanted to see for myself if her dream was true . " Rosethorn looked down to the small apprentice , seemingly with an unreadable expression . She didn't seem to let any sort of emotion slip into her eyes as she looked between the two . This tortoiseshell seemed very protective of her , yet the two looked nothing alike . The chances of them being kin were slim , she concluded .
Briarstar seemed confused and offput ; she had a Warrior's name , but she didn't say she belonged to a clan , and she'd certainly didn't know of any nearby . Her pelt spiked at the thought ; had Sunclan really gotten that bad since the gathering only a few days ago ? Surely that was impossible , and certainly she would know before some strange band of cats ... and yet part of her couldn't shake the feeling that maybe this was the sign from Starclan that Sunclan had been looking for ... Only she just managed to bump into it first .

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar & Rosethorn
When the strange she-cat appeared, Pinkpaw was immedietly on edge. She listened to the two of them interact, eyes narrowed. Since she was proud, and just a little bit stupid, Pinkpaw asked "If there are cat's injured and sick you could attack them. Why should we trust you?" she was just spunky enough that the other she-cats size didn't quite scare her off.

Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
"Oh, ok." Koipaw nodded, seemingly glad that she was doing fine. He must have just thought about it wrong. When asked about questions he did speak "Why doesn't Emberstar accept the help?" with kittypets, everyone went to the same twoleg that healed. He thought it was weird that the clans had their own healers and didn't seem to share or help each other.
