Stoatpaw - Medicine Den - with Mintpaw, Patchpaw, Peonypaw, Hollyfeather and Freckecloud (Ember34 , bluewonder , 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 , Dark , moonclaw400 )Stoatpaw nodded at Mintpaw's words. "Yeah, we really didn't do much. Oriolehop told us to hide behind him before the badger could get to us but it already took Mintpaw down before we could do so," she meowed to Peonypaw. She didn't mention Mintpaw's foolish attempt of getting closer to the badger or how he had ignored her when she had tried to get him to stay out of the way. Nor did she bring up that he had allowed himself to get distracted by a leaf. He already felt bad enough. If he didn't remember on his own she'd tell him eventually but that could wait. And she certainly didn't want to say all that in front of the other apprentices. While they wouldn't think less of him Mintpaw probably would. "And while I didn't get hit by that badger I also don't think I contributed much. I did shoot two blasts of earth at it but it didn't even feel them." She didn't really care that it was something apprentices, not four moon old kits, learned. So what if she learned new skills faster? It didn't do her any good if her attacks weren't strong enough or she quickly tired out during regular battle training. "But Grumpyfang seemed impressed anyway and said we'd focus on my earth throwing powers next time." She gave a light chuckle at Patchpaw's laughter and grinned a bit when he seemed confused about her comment about Peonypaw being excited to see him. The older apprentice had literally been calling out to Patchpaw when she had entered and only then had she focused her attention on Mintpaw. He seemed to be oblivious about Peonypaw's rather obvious interest but Stoatpaw wasn't going to embarrass either of them. She could be blunt sometimes but not that tactless. Fortunately she also didn't have to focus on that particular topic. "I'm sure we all wish we could have done more," she meowed. "But we're still apprentices, right? We did what we could and next time we'll do better!" She also briefly glanced at Hollyfeather and nodded. "Yeah, as long as Mintpaw isn't bothered by it you should stay," she meowed to both Patchpaw and Peonypaw.

Swiftclaw - In Camp w/Icepaw - OPEN"Are you mad?!" Swiftclaw snapped back into reality as soon as the words dripped from his father's lips. Before he could say anything else though, Brambletalon looked back at him with a stern look in his eyes showing how serious he was. Swiftclaw swallowed whatever spit he had in his mouth almost choking and nodded before padding over to his sister's side. "How about we go over to the river. The water always helps you to relax, hmm?" He tried to give his best smile hiding the concern and worry his father just bestowed upon him. Icepaw - In Camp w/Swiftclaw - OPENIcepaw glanced up at her father and then to Swiftclaw as he came to her side wrapping his tail around her. What is he doing? Speaking to her after... After that? I trust him, but what if he makes things worse for us? For you? For me? What if he says just one wrong word to Thistlestar and she takes all her current frustration out on him? "Do you have to?" She meowed standing up glancing back at her father with worry. Brambletalon simply responded, "I have to. Even if things don't get better, I need to know I at least tried." After that he padded off towards Thistlestar. Icepaw watched in worry as her father padded off, but broke her concentration as her brother rubbed his tail across her back and simply said, "Follow me. He'll be fine, I promise." (Bumping this for 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢) |

Peonypaw with Patchpaw, Mintpaw, Stoatpaw, & Hollyfeather ; mentions Mothdapple
exiting medicine cat's den
@ bluewonder , Ember34 , Pineclaw , Dark The urge to argue was on the tip of her tongue, to try and convince Mintpaw that he must've been somewhat useful in the badger fight, but she stopped herself after remembering how upset Thistlestar got when he couldn't even sneeze smoke. A chill ran through her as she tried to imagine the little silvery tabby running straight at an earth badger who was much more skilled than the too young apprentice. It seemed to finally dawn on Peonypaw just how lucky Mintpaw was to make it back alive, Stoatpaw too. Thistlestar had no business turning these kits into apprentices and instilling false confidence in them that they'll perform their elementals at the same caliber as the appropriately aged apprentices. Now she had the gall to blame the clan for her mistake and use StarClan's name to justify her actions.
Noticing Mintpaw's slight smile warmed her heart, as did the way he accepted her self-invite to the group training session. The fuzzy feeling faltered at Patchpaw's hesitancy, making Peonypaw frown and turn her attention on him once again. She could've been reading into it too much, but his earlier avoidance and now hesitation were hitting harder than it normally would. Dejected wasn't close to how the blue molly looked and felt. "Mintpaw said it was group training. Two apprentices hardly seems like a group. Why would it be too many if I joined?" She asked him, trying to keep her voice steady.
Peonypaw stepped aside, watching as Hollyfeather applied the poultice to Patchpaw's cracked paws while Stoatpaw explained what really happened with the badger encounter. Unfortunately the little she-cat's words went in one ear and out the other as Peonypaw tried to sort through her emotionally charged thoughts. When Patchpaw began to stand, she stood up as well and was about to exit with him when Hollyfeather called only him back. It was the echo of Stoatpaw's encouragement that stopped the older apprentice in her tracks. She turned and looked at the others in the den, having already convinced herself that it didn't make sense for her to stay.
With a stiff smile, Peonypaw shook her head and slowly began to back up towards the den's exit. "No, it's alright. I should go and see if Mothdapple has anything for me to do anyways. Feel better soon, Mintpaw." Her expression warmed when she glanced to the young tom, but her stare lingered on Patchpaw when she addressed him. "You too."
She waited until she was fully out of sight from those in the den to let her shoulders deflate and head hang, wondering just where she went wrong with that whole interaction. Peonypaw meandered towards the camps small waterfall, letting the soft roar of the water drown out her spiraling thoughts. The worst part was how dismissive Patchpaw was of her, which felt a little strange. Sure she had feelings for him and didn't even try to hide them, but at the very least she thought they were friends. They'd grown up together for StarClan's sake. Peonypaw huffed, hating the way she was feeling right now and didn't want to wallow in self-pity anymore. So, she stood up again and started weaving through the thin crowd of cats, looking for her mentor and trying to avoid the small group confronting Thistlestar. |

Honeyblaze with Swiftclaw, & Icepaw
camp
@ Brambletalon Had Honeyblaze not deemed it a waste of time she might be part of the small group trying to argue with Thistlestar to reverse the punishment she had instilled only moments ago. There was no point in trying to convince someone with bees for brains that what they did was wrong. Only StarClan knows when Thistlestar's greed ate too much away at her character, tossing aside her clan's well-being and the sacred warrior code. She watched, almost in pity, as Brambletalon and Shadecreek confronted the corrupt leader, the latter obviously upset about having his apprentice being taken away. Honeyblaze would be lying if she said she didn't feel a small sense of pride when her sister, Dapplesky, had been named as one of the replacement mentors. Her sleek, black-furred tail was wrapped tightly around her paws, black ears swiveling to catch the several other conversation surrounding her. Swiftclaw's voice stood out from the rest when she heard mention of going to the river.
"Headed to the river?" She asked as she approached the two, "mind if I join?" Honeyblaze flashed a rather charming smile, mainly to Swiftclaw. He looked concerned, his smile not at all convincing to the black and white she-cat. While she wasn't keen on going to the river, she was looking for an excuse to get out of camp. She didn't mind Swiftclaw's company, and Icepaw was easy enough to deal with. While she preferred her sisters presence above all, she noticed the calico molly already speaking with Brightmist and knew how easily overwhelmed Dapplesky could get. When they returned, Honeyblaze would make it a point to check in on her, maybe do some convincing that taking on an apprentice was a great honor, even if they way she received one was inherently orthodox. |

Shadecreek - In Camp with Mossyleap - Dark“I’ve been worse,” he croaked, “Help me to the medicine cats’ den, please? I need to get up early to take Pebblepaw out training…” The tom was very dedicated to his apprentice, and was very eager to prove to Thistlestar that he the only cat able to handle Pebblepaw. The apprentice, despite his history of reluctance with using his element, thrived best with Shadecreek’s method of teaching. There was also the matter of his engagement at moonhigh tomorrow, he didn’t want to make Silverdawn anymore worried for him than she already was.

Pineheart with open
camp
@ Tag
"Well, that was something." Pineheart spoke under his breath, having a hard time believing what he'd just witnessed. He thought the retirement of Ebonywhisker was a little dramatic, only for Thistlestar to outdo herself when she apprenticed Foxskip's kits way too early, then to surpass herself again with this malarkey of switching mentors. The older tom shook his head and dragged his paws over to the warriors den, seeking out a small sunny spot close to the oak. He curled up on the soft mossy floor and tried to drown out the confrontation that was happening not too far from him. Pineheart let out a heavy sigh and rested his chin on the tops of his large, white paws. There had yet to be any truly peaceful days as of late, and he was afraid they would become more few and far between with a battle coming up. He was fearful of the direction that IvyClan was headed. ————- ❦ ————-
Slowripple with open
camp
@ Tag
Slowripple could only watch in horror the entire clan meeting, first with the blame of the entire clan for not easily taking down an earth badger, and then when Mintpaw had a change in mentor. Wasn't it already bad enough that his kittenhood was stolen away from him and his siblings? She thought as she watched her sister, Foxstep from afar. Her heart sank in pain as she thought of what the tabico must be going through. The somewhat fluffy molly wanted to run to her side in support, but her paws were frozen where they were until the whole clan was dismissed. By then, Slowripple had lost her in the crowd and didn't know what to do. She thought to visit her niece and nephew in the medicine cat's den, but it looked to be getting full and even fuller as she spotted Mossyleap escorting her brother towards the den. So, the mostly white feline stood helplessly, unsure of what she should do. Getting out of camp was the first thing that came to mind, but it didn't seem safe to go out on her own. Bright, copper eyes scanned the crowd, searching for a familiar face in the sea of colorful pelts to approach. |

I should be on all day tomorrow and I'll make sure to get a reply up first thing in the morning.  ) Swiftclaw - About to Leave Camp - w/Honeyblaze; 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Swiftclaw glanced over at Honeyblaze as she padded over and gave her a smile. "Yeah, of course. Probably better to have three of us out there anyways." As his gaze met hers he almost got lost in her eyes for a moment with a little bit of his concern for Brambletalon fading away. Blinking a couple times to bring himself back, he glanced down to Icepaw next. "We uh, we thought it might be best to get some fresh air from camp for a bit. Especially after everything that just happened." He meowed looking back up to Honeyblaze. " Icepaw's mostly just worried right now because her Warrior ceremony is only a couple moons away." He was honestly happy that someone else had offered to tag along. Even though he had what it took to watch over his sister for a small trip to the river, he knew it would probably get boring with it just being the two of them. The idea of getting to know another cat also seemed like a good idea at this point since he usually kept to himself most the time. Something about Honeyblaze intrigued him as well and he looked forward to the trip ahead. Icepaw - About to Leave Camp - w/Honeyblaze; 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Icepaw's gaze held on her father and Shadecreek while they talked to Thistlestar, but turned to face Honeybreeze as she padded over and spoke. She did her best to raise her own smile, but kept silent for the moment. The she-cat was definitely pretty and she was half tempted to try an embarrass her brother before deciding to save the opportunity till they were out of camp. |

Honeyblaze with Swiftclaw, & Icepaw
leaving camp
@ Brambletalon Swiftclaw's stare was hard to miss as he held eye contact with her a little longer than she thought was normal. Her whiskers twitching in amusement was the only indication that she'd noticed at all, a small motion that could've been easily missed. Standing before the tuxedo tom, Honeyblaze was reminded of her height as she realized she could look over his head if she wanted to. Probably didn't help that the slightly younger warrior fell on the shorter side. Another amusing thing she'd just noticed. Not that it wasn't common for the sleek furred she-cat to be taller than most, it was just usually with other mollies that she noticed the difference in stature. "Everything that just happened? What do you mean by that?" Honeyblaze asked, her voice feigning ignorance. She waited just long enough for their reactions before letting out a short giggle. "I'm just pulling both of your tails. It is getting a bit...heated, if I do say so myself."
Casting a quick glance in Icepaw's direction, she responded to the apprentice's smile with a curt nod. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Thistlestar demanded her trial early. If she's going to apprentice kits too soon, what's to stop her from appointing warriors prematurely." It dawned on Honeyblaze not long after that her comment could be taken as an insult. Her orange eyes settled on the white she-cat as she finally offered a smile of her own. "I wouldn't be too worried about it, Icepaw." Not exactly an apology if the 'paw had taken offense to her earlier comment, but it was the closest thing to one.
Honeyblaze was quick to turn towards the camp entrance after, waving her tail for the two to follow as she moved forward in a light trot. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." |

[can’t do code right now because desktop on mobile is a tragedy to society.] Cedarstorm — Ivy Forest — with Pebblepaw Cedarstorm was a bit impressed by Pebblepaw’s mimicking his movements of gathering the herbs. He’s proven himself to be useful, he thought with a slight smile. He was about to grab his bundle when Pebblepaw asked him a question. A very important one at that. ”Of course. These herbs are meant to help Shadecreek and Mintpaw. They will also help other cats that have minor injuries from the badger attack,” he explained, hoping it wasn’t too confusing. ”It may take time for them to heal, but Mintpaw and Shadecreek will live. That’s what matters.”The umber brown tabby was curious as to why Pebblepaw had questions. Like most cats, he seemed concerned for his denmate and the warrior. It was normal to question the medicine cat, even at a young age. He’d done the same as an apprentice with Craneflight. Fond memories of his mentor were always present. In some way, he missed the white Persian she-cat. ”You know, I used to ask my mentor the same questions,” he mewed, picking up his bundle. ”It’s normal to ask. Are you worried by any chance?”He flicked his tail at the black and white apprentice, signaling to move forward. He began padding to camp, unsure of what waited for them. (Tags: bluewonder) |

Mossyleap w/ Shadecreek- JunospowerMossyleap let the tom lean on her and let out a small huff as the whole of his weight was against her. "Have you been eating extra prey from the fresh-kill pile?" she teased, knowing full well that the 'weight' her brother gained was more muscle than fat. She helped guide him to his nest in the medicine den, walking carefully. Mothdapple w/ Peonypaw- 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢(Mothdapple is technically out hunting but uhh the replies lowkey died so he'll be in camp :3 also I feel so bad for poor Peonypaw ;-;) Spotting the familiar small figure of his apprentice rushing around, Mothdapple headed over with a flick of his tail.

 Thistlestar narrowed her eyes as Shadecreek departed and Brambletalon had his last words. The two had seemed too jubilant, as though they didn't see her overall scheme. Or as though they did, and they weren't worried about it. She knew she would get the last laugh in the end, but Brambletalon's smug assurance had bothered her. "Of course you're dismissed. You were dismissed before this conversation even started." Thistlestar growled at Brambletalon, flicking her paw like she had a nasty piece of crowfood stuck on it. "And Brambletalon, do not speak to me again unless it's something of actual importance, understand?" She stood without waiting for his reply and headed towards Shatterfrost.

With Oatstream, Dark
 Dapplesky watched him with wide eyes as he rambled, his words growing her anxiety rather than abating it. She had only been concerned with the dramatic handoff of apprentice from one cat to the next, and here was Brightmist, reminding her that she actually had to succeed in training him. As he came to the conclusion of what had originally upset her, she shook her head, ignoring his words. Frecklecloud had always been kind, though Dapplesky was concerned that the anger she saw displayed today against their leader might transfer to her. "Honestly, I.... I don't want an apprentice!" She mewed, exploding in emotion. "I don't want Thistlestar breathing down my back- she already thinks I'm a failure, and that's just on my own! How much more will she think I'm a failure when Mintpaw is struggling because he's young or because of his injuries or because I'm a terrible mentor! I just became a warrior eight moons ago, I can't do this!" She started breathing short, rapid breaths, but still felt like she had no air. "And Mintpaw is going to hate me, and Frecklecloud is going to hate me, and Foxskip is going to hate me, and-" She tried to catch her breath for a moment.

Shatterfrost w/ Thistlestar- bluewonderWhile Shatterfrost was looking around the camp for anything he could do, he realized Thistlestar stalking toward him out of the corner of his eye and turned around. "What is it, Thistlestar?" he asked politely, dipping his head in respect. (Trying not to anger Thistlestar be like:) Oatstream w/ Lizardeye- bluewonderOatstream glanced over at her. "I hope you're right... I doubt that Hollyfeather has received any signs. Based on her reaction to Thistlestar during the clan meeting, I feel she would've shared any mention of a vision of some sort," he sighed.

Shadecreek - Medicine Cats’ Den with Mossyleap - Dark“Oh you’re the worst, you know that?” he laughed softly as they made their way back to the den. His temporary nest calling for him once again. If he was forced to named one good thing about Thistlestar’s reign, it’s that with the constant training she had forced onto the clan, he wouldn’t have to stay long. As he settled himself back down, his thoughts went back to the conversation he and his sister had earlier. Thistlestar was becoming more and more unhinged. More paranoid. His brow furrowed in deep thought.

Peonypaw with Mothdapple, & Patchpaw
camp
@ Dark , bluewonder The relief that washed over her like a wave when Mothdapple appeared was StarClan-sent, cleansing her of any negative feelings that had been wrecking havoc. She could almost breathe a little better, but her chest tightened when he asked her what was wrong. Peonypaw honestly wasn't sure what to say, not keen on telling Mothdapple that she had felt left out in the medicine cat's den by the cat she was basically in love with. In fact, she didn't really want to divulge in her feelings about Patchpaw at all, or at the very least talk about him. Her mentor didn't need to know every little thing like that, so she tried to play her discomfort off on something else. "The clan meeting has left me a little shaken I guess." Peonypaw spoke with a nervous smile, casting a wary glance over to Thistlestar. "I saw Mintpaw too and I think it put some things into perspective for me." Not a lie, but she was withholding more information. "There was talk of group battle training when he gets better, do you think we could join?" While she wasn't technically invited, Mintpaw said he was fine with her joining.
Then the call of her name made her ears perk and she looked over to see Patchpaw approaching them. Her excitement spiked, heart fluttering because he'd uttered her name, but she very quickly turned crestfallen as she remembered his treatment of her only moments ago. It's a wonder how the mere sight of him could make her forget so easily, but that's just what it was like when the young tom was around. He was a breath of fresh air and his smile could turn anyone's bad day around. He could make even the grumpiest of cats laugh with one of his jokes, and he was the best at telling stories. She might recall a time in the nursery when he was retelling one of Lizardeye's tales, mimicking the old she-cat's voice as the narrator while creating entirely new impressions of its characters and acting them out however he saw fit. Peonypaw was sure her stomach was going to split from how hard she had laughed. Patchpaw had always been a delight and she felt lucky to call him a friend, so who could blame her when her fondness for him turned romantic. Not every cat had been kind to Peonypaw when she was brought into the clan as a kit, but Patchpaw always was. His kindness towards her never faltered, except for a few awkward encounters and the especially tense one that recently occurred. That had to be the reason why the hurt hit so hard. She couldn't help but think that he'd become embarrassed of her recently.
There was a moment of silence that had gone on for almost too long before Peonypaw finally responded, nearly forgetting that he was addressing her. "Oh, Patchpaw. What is it?" She asked somewhat nervously, having turned more towards the black and white tom. A sense of dread and anticipation began to rise as she waited to hear what Patchpaw had to say to her. (lol you guys are so sweet, it's really just adolescent angst so don't feel too bad for her 🤭 also, blue, your heart dying is entirely your fault, this is your subplot after all 😂🫶 also also, i hope you dont mind me taking some liberties when discussing their friendship. i figured they'd at least be good friends since they grew up together - or at the very least Peony considers him to be a good friend and just assumes Patchpaw considers her the same way) |

Stoatpaw - Medicine Den - with Mintpaw and Hollyfeather (Ember34 , Dark ), briefly with Peonypaw and Patchpaw (𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 , bluewonder )
Stoatpaw nodded at Patchpaw, once again confirming that he could stay. She also wanted to reassure Peonypaw but before she could say anything the older apprentice was already excusing herself. Somehow her sudden departure felt a little off. Peonypaw had given a good reason but something was gnawing at Stoatpaw. She exchanged a concerned glance with Patchpaw and Mintpaw and didn't protest when the former was leaving too, giving an affirmative nod instead. "Alright. I'll wait here with Mintpaw," she meowed. At her brother's question she glanced towards the entrance with a small sigh. "I hope so," she said. "Let's trust Patchpaw to handle this for now. If he takes too long I can go check on them."

Brambletalon - Survived Encounter with the Mad Catter, Brief Encounter w/Pebblepaw; bluewonder Brambletalon watched as Thistlestar padded off and the moment she turned away he couldn't help, but smile. "Just remember when this is all said and done if things don't work out you way, don't say I didn't try to warn you." He muttered under his breath quiet enough for Thistlestar to not catch what he said. Heaving himself up he turned around and padded towards the camp entrance whistling to the tune of Molly Malone. (Or at least whatever the cat equivalent of the song would be. lol ) As he approached the entrance he noticed Pebblepaw and Cedarstorm returning. Walking over to them with a smile he stopped a brief second to talk to Pebblepaw before heading off on a small hunting trip. "Pebblepaw," He began giving a nod towards where Shadecreek last was. "Theres no need to rush, but you'll want to speak to Shadecreek at some point. I believe he's trying to rest right now though." He gave the apprentice a quick look up and down letting out a small sigh. He may have helped make things right, but that didn't mean it would necessarily end up being better. "Look uh, Shadecreek cares deeply about you. He knows the potential you have and so do I. Make him proud, you're a strong cat." He gave Pebblepaw a wink and then continued to make his way out of camp before the apprentice could speak not wanting to interrupt the task he was currently helping with. His whistling then resumed to where he left off to the tune before speaking. Swiftclaw - Leaving Camp w/Honeyblaze; 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 At Honeyblaze's first comment, him and his sister both glanced at each other confused thinking the she-cat had watched the meeting unfold in to chaos. When she finally responding showing it off as a joke though, he let out a small laugh while his sister gave a quick smile again. Swiftclaw listened intently to Honeyblaze as she spoke about Thistlestar next and a few thoughts zipped through his mind about his sister's future. He admitted that she did have a little growing up to do, but most of it was simply because she was shy as a kit. She's done a good job at changing that since becoming an apprentice, but every now and then things would still get to her. His thoughts cleared rather quickly as he caught Honeyblaze's attempt at an apology or at least an attempt to help his sister not worry despite her last comment. His gaze then quickly followed her as she zipped around them and towards the cave entrance waving them over. He smiled once more and gave a small laugh as he padded off to join her. Icepaw - Leaving Camp w/Honeyblaze; 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Icepaw gave a small smile at the joke even though confused at first like her brother. A part of Honeyblaze's energy felt contagious and she couldn't help, but feel a little bit better. When Honeyblaze spoke about Thistlestar next however, her heart sank just a little again thinking about what it'd be like become a Warrior early. Even though a part of her did feel ready, she didn't feel like it would meet Thistlestar's expectations. As the black and white molly then tried to make a quick attempt at an apology, Icepaw tried to make an effort at a bigger smile this time. She liked the she-cat so far and was sure she meant well. All the tension going on had to be released somehow and with Swiftclaw and Honeyblaze with her, things should turn out just fine. As the molly made her way out of camp, Icepaw turned to followed her brother and catch up. ( 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Probably want to move over to the border page next to rp.) |

Mossyleap w/ Shadecreek- Junospower Mossyleap let out a purr at the sound of her brother's laugh. She was glad to be able to lift his spirits at a tough time like this. She helped him get settled into his nest, glancing briefly at Peonypaw exiting, then Patchpaw a little after. She didn't question it, however, and instead turned to Shadecreek, who seemed to be thinking intently. "Want me to fetch you a piece of prey?" Mothdapple w/ Peonypaw & Patchpaw- 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢; bluewonder"I think that meeting left everyone a little on edge," Mothdapple reassured his seemingly distressed apprentice. The tom flicked his feathery tail, pausing for a brief moment before answering Peonypaw's question. "I don't see why not, it's always good practice to train with your fellow apprentices." His ears pricked as Patchpaw called out and approached Peonypaw, though they both seemed to look awkward about it. He didn't say anything to barge in, there wasn't a reason to, after all.

Brightmist - Camp - with Dapplesky (bluewonder )Brightmist stepped a bit closer but remained silent as she vented. He nodded as she admitted that she didn't even want an apprentice. It wasn't something he would be ready for either and Dapplesky was older than him. Her fear of Thistlestar was all too justified, their leader was anything but reasonable. She'd take any excuse to view her warriors as failures. When Dapplesky rambled on about how everyone would hate her Brightmist wanted to interrupt but thought better of it. He waited for her to run out of breath and after a moment he flicked his tail before she could continue. "No. They won't," he meowed firmly. "They are not going to hate you for something Thistlestar did. You didn't ask for this." His expression softened after that and more quietly he said "I'm sorry, Dapplesky. You shouldn't have to put up with any of this. None of you deserve what Thistlestar has done with her mousebrained decision. She should never have dumped this on you." He lowered his gaze a little and stayed quiet for a while. Dapplesky seemed to need to get all of this out of her system and while he didn't have a solution to her problems at least he could listen.
He blinked. A solution, huh? What if there was a way to solve this? He glanced at Dapplesky and gave a quick encouraging nod to show that he was still paying attention. So she didn't want to have to train an apprentice, for multiple reasons. And it caused her great distress. Brightmist hated seeing any of his clanmates like this. Was there really no way to help her? If she can't do this then maybe someone else could train Mintpaw instead. Was there any cat who could do this? Mentally he went over all the other fire elementals in Ivyclan. Amberrose wasn't an option. She was already training Poppypaw. Foxskip was Mintpaw's mother. Thistlestar would never let her train her kit. Especially with how against this she was. Frecklecloud of course wasn't an option either. She just had her position as Mintpaw's mentor taken from her. Weaselflare has become a warrior only recently. And she had also spoken out against Thistlestar. Their leader would never pick her for this.
Is there no one else? With a sad look he watched Dapplesky. Would she really have to do this? Was there really no cat who could be made Mintpaw's new mentor instead, whether officially or in secret? There was no other fire elemental that hadn't spoken out against Thistlestar or didn't already have an apprentice. Dapplesky really was the only- Wait... Brightmist's eyes widened and he slowly looked directly at the anxious she-cat. Could he really suggest this? She was right, it was a terrifying task. And she was two moons older than him, had more experience. But she feared it more than anyone else. Brightmist took a deep breath and met her gaze, looking determined. "If you really dread it that much then let me help you," he meowed. "Let me train him for you."

Weaselflare - Camp - with Slowripple (𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 )Weaselflare still hadn't decided on what to do once she left camp and had began to glance around, looking at what her clanmates were doing. Many were talking or sitting by themselves. Others, like Swiftclaw, Honeyblaze and Icepaw, were leaving camp. After a moment her gaze rested on Slowripple. The other she-cat looked a little unsure, as if she didn't really know what she should do. So just like her. Weaseflare smiled to herself at that. She weaved through the crowd and approached Slowripple. "Hey there," she meowed and smiled at her. "You look like you don't really know what to do with yourself either."

Shadecreek - with Mossyleap - Dark“That would be great, thank you,” he yawned, slipping back into thought. Sooner or later, something would need to be done about Thistlestar. The fresh-kill pile is always low, unnecessary training is always scheduled. And now, even though he had missed it when he had met Silverdawn, there was talks about attacking WillowClan. He still had time to warn the silver tabby at least. Perhaps… Perhaps there’s something that could be done? Perhaps he could talk to anyone else who shares his views on their leader… (I thought that it would be natural the Shade’s the one who at least gets the idea of dethroning Thistle, but obviously he’s not going to launch an attack now, just see if anyone else is sick and tired of Queen Paranoia. So you’re safe Thistlestar… for now (:< )

Mossyleap- Getting prey for Shadecreek- JunospowerMossyleap raced out of the medicine den and bounded over to the fresh-kill pile, grabbing the first piece of prey she saw: a squirrel. She carried it back to the den in her jaws, and placed it beside her brother’s nest.

Patchpaw Camp
With Peonypaw, 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 ; and Mothdapple, Dark
( I know I did Rainy, but I didn't expect it to make me have ~feelings~! I blame you and your compelling writing style D:<
And yeah, the backstory is great! Patchpaw means well, he just doesn't understand the intensity of her emotions and he wants to just be friends, so it's confusing to him haha. ) Thistlestar approached her deputy, a little bit irritated after the last conversation. "There's been a slight change in plans. Shadecreek is retaining his apprentice, though you still are to supervise trainings. I want to know every detail of his trainings- every slip up. Should he fail to have Pebblepaw meet my standards when the young tom turns twelve moons, Pebblepaw will be held back, and Shadecreek will be punished." Her eyes glinted, wanting as much dirt on the obstinate tom that she could gain. "Don't take your eyes off of him." She ordered.
(hehhehe making Shadey work for his illicit love affair <3 ) Lizardeye nodded, knowing Oatstream's words, as always, held wisdom, though wisdom she didn't quite want to hear. They had made it to the flower fields. She looked around, taking in the colors of the fresh blooms. Though some were losing their color as the harsh sun of greenleaf burned on, most were bright and beautiful. It took away some of the hardships of the day. "Oatstream, do you remember that time you picked me a mouthful of flowers from the flower fields?" She purred at the memory, looking around at the white, gold, and red buds around her. "And when you brought them to me, a big, hairy caterpillar fell out!" He laughed, giving him a playful headbutt. Those were simpler, more beautiful times.
(If Lizardeye and Oatstream had a super edition, I would drop everything to go buy it lol I love them) (Will reply with Pebble and Dapple in a bit! ) |

Mintpaw look3d as the two warriors entered the den, giving a wave of greeting with his tail. "Hope you two are right," he said looking between Hollyfeather and Stoatpaw. He hated the idea of his denmates fighting.

Shatterfrost w/ Thistlestar- bluewonder Shatterfrost silently questioned the sudden change in things, but considering the expression on Thistlestar's face, he decided not to voice his thoughts. "Don't worry, I'll make sure the two of them work to their full potential," he replied. Oatstream w/ Lizardeye- bluewonder Oatstream let out a rough mrrow of laughter, remembering the moment like it was only a moon ago. "Of course I do," his whiskers twitched in amusement. "I can't forget the look of shock on your face when it fell into your nest and started squirming around." He attempted to display the act by crouching and wriggling his flank. "And you thought I had put it there on purpose!" he exclaimed. (I agree, Blue, I love them both so much <3 )
