Silverdawn w/ Border Patrol; Pineclaw; Ember34; ๐ฆsilvermoon2๐ฆSilverdawn slowed her pace a little so that she was next to Sagepaw. "I know this is a border patrol, but do you scent any hints of prey around?" She flicked her tail. Cricketpaw w/ Foxpaw- PineclawThe molly continued to creep up on the squirrel- her brother- trying to keep as quiet as she could, stifling a giggle. When she thought she got close enough, she pounced at him, claws sheathed. "Gotcha!" she chirruped, holding Foxpaw down with a loose grip.

Pinepaw: Medicine Cat den with Whitefire bluewonder Pinepaw jumped when he suddenly heard the voice of Whitefire. He turns his head to watch as she sat down next to him. If the need called for it, maybe they could sneak into the rolling hills. However, he decided to keep that idea to himself at least for now. "At least we have a lot of cobwebs." He pointed out.

Newtkit-Leader's Den-Cranekit,Ryestar Newtkit sprang to action and darted after the 'mouse'. Pouncing into the pebble trying to pin it down, but instead just knocking the pebble further. "Quick Cranekit! Let's try trap it," he called to his brother. "We can't let the mouse keep bothering Ryestar!"
Crowpaw-Hunting Patrol-Poolwhisler, Honeyspeck, Russetpaw, Slatefur Crowpaw looked away to hide their amusement to the story. So even warriors made mistakes as apprentices it seemed. They glanced back to Slatefur noting the wounds opening up, giving the tom a frown. "Should you really be out here," they asked, flicking their ear. Perhaps they still made mistakes even know it seemed. Not that Crowpaw was trying to judge the warrior for choosing to come out, if he was able to do so Slatefur was allowed to do as he pleased.

Slatefur Hunting Patrol, Berry Fields With Honeyspeck, moonclaw400 ; Slatefur shook his head in good-humored defeat. "You're right, you're right." He mewed to Honeyspeck. "That's my point though- apprenticeship is the most fun time, the time where you can be stupid and get by with it." He flicked his tail at the two apprentices as though he had just given them the best life lesson. "Now, you cats hush up, I'm going to go feed our clan. Honeyspeck, I know you'll be watching Russetpaw's skills. Would you like me to watch over Crowpaw's? Or would you like to leave that to Poolwhisker?"
Whitefire rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Sure. We can stop them from bleeding out so they can endure a long and terrible death by infection instead." She flicked her tail. The gathering was still quite a ways away, and their journey to the Pure Stone in the Ancient Ruins wouldn't be for days still after that. Perhaps they'd need to make a special journey there before then, but they could decide that later. "Come on. " She mewed to Pinepaw. "We can go out to the Talon Mountains and see if we can find any burdock root. That can help with infection some." She sighed, not looking forward to the possibility of trudging through the mountains on what could be a fruitless quest, but she knew that they would need to use their time wisely. Hopefully no cat would need them while they were out.
(Going to give Silver time to reply with Cranekit before I post up Ryestar)

Foxpaw - Outside camp - with Cricketpaw (Dark )Foxpaw lowered his paws a little and sniffed the air. He turned his head to where he knew Cricketpaw was and dropped his "acorn" in mock terror, letting out a mixture between a squeak and a chitter at the sight of the dangerous hunter. He scrambled for a tree but before he could even make one leap towards it Cricketpaw pounced on him. His "frightened" noises soon turned into laughter. "That's one squirrel for the fresh-kill pile" he meowed before beginning to squirm beneath her. He managed to roll over a little so he could begin to push her with his paws and "clawed" at her belly with his hind paws, making sure to not unsheathe his claws so he wouldn't accidentally hurt her.

Ryestar purred and gently separated the two kits with a paw to avoid any unintentional headbutts. She batted at the stone again, letting them go after it once more, before mewing, "My my, your hunting skills are coming along so very well! Keep it up, and you'll be warriors in no time!"
Slatefur Hunting Patrol With Crowpaw, Ember34
Slatefur nodded his understanding, then turned to Crowpaw. "You heard the tom. You're with me, kid. Go ahead and do your thing, and I'll be watching from a distance." He waved Crowpaw off with a paw, gesturing that they could go ahead and begin to hunt.
Russetpaw heaved another sigh, as though every word Honeyspeck said was boring him. "Mice. Sure." He mewed. They were in fact easy- posing no real challenge like a bird or rabbit or fish would. With one last flick of his tail, Russetpaw dropped into a hunter's crouch. He moved forward several paces until he was in a new part of the undergrowth. The Berry Fields were full of crop, strawberries and blueberries and more Russetpaw couldn't name hanging down from the bushes they grew on. As tantalizing as the colors were, the smell of the mice that were taking advantage of the harvest was even moreso. Russetpaw soon located one- a brown little thing sniffing around a strawberry plant. With short, precise movements, Russetpaw put one paw in front of another, darting at the last minute and killing the mouse with a quick blow. He raised up and gestured to his kill, looking unimpressed. "Got one." He mewed dryly.
(Just really loving this idea of Russetpaw being a moody teenager type of character. Just the- 'no one gets me, stop it mom you're embarrassing me, this is so uncool/lame' type of guy hahaha)

He let out a mew of excitement'I got the mouse!' Cranekit felt ready to burst with pride at his leaders praise, he was going to be the best warrior in the forest and so would Newtkit!

Gett8ng my willowclan up and I will leave) Crowpaw-HuntingPatrol-Slatefur Criwpaw flicked their tail as they nodded to Slatefur's orders. They would need to do well, so that they didn't let down Ryestar. They headed off to start to hunt, listening around to their surroundings, as they scented the air for anything. Crouching close to the ground when thry caught scent of a bird, they continued to work to find its exact location before pressing onward towards the right.
Newtkit-Leader'sDen-Cranekit, Ryestar "We did it Ryestar," he said excitedly to his leader. Bounding over to Cranekit to indeed confirm that the mouse had been vanquished. "We helped with the mission!" The black and white tom beamed with pride at their accomplishment.

Russetpaw Hunting Patrol With Honeyspeck, moonclaw400 ; and the rest of the hunting patrol Russetpaw curled his lip at the thought of mousebile before quickly burying his catch. Should be easy enough. He thought, looking at the fertile fields in front of him. Feeling a bit like he was doing mundane work instead of something exciting, he tasted the air again before dropping once more into a crouch and scooting forward, ready for his next prey.
Slatefur Hunting Patrol With Crowpaw, Ember34
Slatefur watched as Crowpaw began their hunt, making sure to give the young cat plenty of room so as not to disturb their technique.
Ryestar gave another approving purr. "So you did." She affirmed. She adored kits, and enjoyed getting a chance to influence Willowclan's future. Though she wouldn't mind being a mother one day, she was more than content treating her clan as her kits, watching over them and nurturing them like her own. "Now you kits run along back to your mother, and be sure to tell her how well you've done." She nudged the small rock over to the two. "If you'd like, you can take the 'mouse' with you, to play with later." The rock was pretty, but she could find another later.

Glacierfjord - Entering Camp w/Ashfall - OPEN
Glacierfjord bent his head down and breathed frost on the ground in front of him before hopping on it to slide across. Making his way forward he, skated and paved a short path into camp before hoping off and turning to his brother with a quick laugh and smile. "Ha, that was great! I mean, did you see your face?" He laughed shaking his head. "I told you that fox den was occupied. Maybe if you're nostrils weren't so burnt you would have smelled it."
Ashfall - Entering Camp w/Glacierfjord - OPEN
"Uh huh," Ashfall flicked his paw in front of him causing a small carpet of fire to melt the frost his brother just put up. As the frost melted back into the ground he flicked his paw again snuffing out the flames. "At least we're both lucky they weren't in the mood to bother tailing us." He gave a slightly annoyed look at his brother, but honestly almost couldn't help but smile and laugh a little himself. "You know, it's scary to actually see you in a good mood." He finally brought up a smile of his own.

Rushingmist, having delicately placed the sleeping Marshkit in the nest of the nursery, was back out in the camp clearing once more, preparing to go scent out where her other two kits had gone off to. She wasn't really worried- it wasn't in her nature to be- but she figured it was best to find them before they got into too much mischief. Seeing the brothers antics in the camp entrance, the naturally chatty Rushingmist couldn't help but to stop by to speak to them. "Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here wondering when you kits are going to grow up."" She mewed lightheartedly. Her tone conveyed that she only meant it in jest- the toms hadn't done anything wrong. She was leaning back on her hindquarters while she spoke, her lithe tail twitching with amusement. "If you need pointers on how to behave when you enter camp, I'm sure one of my kits could help out."

Glacierfjord - In Camp w/Ashfall, Rushingmist: bluewonder - OPEN Glacierfjord gave a small bow and smile as Rushingmist padded up. "Why hello there. You know, maybe in a few more moons or so." He sat down shaking some frost off of his paws and then wrapped his tail across them. "I think Ashfall here could definitely use some pointers. His fiery curiosity seems to be clouding his oh so keen sense of smell." He replied giving a small prod to Ashfall's shoulder as he padded up next to him. Ashfall - In Camp w/Glacierfjord, Rushingmist: bluewonder - OPEN Ashfall rolled his eyes at his brothers nudge, but kept the smile he had on his face. "Well, you're only young once you know. Gotta have a little fun here and there when you're not hunting, fighting, or doing chores." He shrugged before nodding his head in slight agreement to Rushingmist. "Although you're not completely wrong." He meowed giving a side glance to Glacierfjord. "You're kits probably have better entrance manners than both of us." He let out a small chuckle giving his brother a little prod in the shoulder back before looking back to Rushingmist. "Speaking of kits though. How are yours doing?"

Crowpaw-Hunting Patrol-Slatefur Crowpaw approached the bird, keeping close to the ground. They waited for the right time before leaving forward to try to land on the bird, but had not put enough power and landed a whisker length short. The bird shot up, Crowpaw quickly sent a short blast of air at one of the bird's wings to knock it off balance, before leaping upward and managing to hook the bird. They delivered a quick bite to kill the bird.
Newtkit-Leader's Den-Cranekit, Ryestar Newtkit grinned eager to go tell his mother all about how they helped the leader! "Let's go tell mama," he said nudging against Cranekit, before picking up the 'mouse' and racing out of the den to proudly show their mother.

Fox squirrelpaw - outside camp - with Cricketpaw ( Dark ) "Oh no, that's one hungry warrior," he meowed, trying to look alarmed. Instead of leaping forward he spun around and raced for a nearby tree. He jumped up and dug his claws into it, climbing upwards a little, but not so high that he or Cricketpaw would hurt themselves if he fell off or she knocked him down. As he adjusted his grip, making sure he was holding on to the tree trunk correctly, he glanced down at his sister and let out a series of "angry" chitters.

The apprentice stopped at the base of the tree trunk and watched as Foxpaw climbed it. With another small wriggle, she leaped up onto the tree and began her "hunt".

Foxpaw - outside camp - with Cricketpaw (Dark )Chuckling to himself Foxpaw climbed a bit higher but still not too hight that it would make their game dangerous. At her yowl he glanced back down again and responded with another chitter of protest. He swished his tail a little, which soon was within reach of Cricketpaw. Darkclaw - Camp - OpenDarkclaw walked through the camp's entrance and made his way over to the fresh-kill pile. He dropped off two shrews and a robin and while he stepped back from it again he also dropped the moss he had carefully held under his chin. This time he grabbed it with his teeth and padded over to the nursery. While some apprentices had already brought fresh bedding for the kits and Rushingmist Darkclaw had still gathered something too. How it was used didn't really matter. Rushingmist could add some extra moss to the nests or the kits could use it to play moss ball. Darkclaw placed the moss down once he stood in front of the nursery and then sat down himself a bit off to the side, watching his clanmates. Scorchmask - Camp - OpenScorchmask followed after Darkclaw and also padded over to the fresh-kill pile. While only carrying one piece of fresh-kill it was a rather huge rabbit so he still considered this a successful hunt. With a snort he watched the other warrior making his way to the nursery but said nothing. To him it felt unnecessary to get the kits some extra moss for their nests or to play with, they never seemed to grow bored even with what they already had here. This seemed to be only confirmed by Newtkit racing out of Ryestar's den with a small rock, followed by Cranekit. They really could play with everything. He let out another snort, though this time one of amusement. Just as quick his expression darkened again when he glanced to where those two had come from. He wasn't too surprised that they have been allowed in there and he was of the opinion that kits should enjoy their time as such as much as possible before life became more serious for them. That part wasn't the problem. He did however feel annoyed at the thought of their leader spending her time looking after some kits instead of focusing on more pressing matters, namely Ivyclan's ever growing aggression towards Willowclan. Scorchmaks sighed and kept glancing towards Ryestar's den with impatience, wishing she would finally get her act together, call for a clan meeting and announce to everyone that they would be taking action against Ivyclan. But with each passing day it became more and more unlikely and he grew more and more resentful for it.

Cricketpaw w/ Foxpaw- PineclawCricketpaw began to climb the tree faster, trying to get as close to Foxpaw as she could. Her paw slipped for a moment, but she regained her grip and continued up the trunk. When she had almost caught up to her brother, Cricketpaw batted at his tail. โYou better watch out, squirrel! Iโm the best hunter in the forest!โ she growled playfully.

Foxpaw - outside camp - with Cricketpaw (Dark )Foxpaw flinched and was just about to climb back down when his sister's paw slipped but before he could try she had already regained her grip again. It wasn't really dangerous from where either of them was but that didn't mean he wanted for her or himself to fall down on accident. Seeing that she was continuing up the trunk he nodded and looked at the branch, half a tail-length above him. "Come get me," he meowed before slipping back into his role as squirrel. He hesitated when Cricketpaw batted his tail but then he took a short leap and reached the branch with his forepaws. Not wasting any time he immediately tried to get the rest of his body up on the branch, always aware of the fierce hunter just a few paws-widths below him.

Foxpaw - outside camp - with Cricketpaw (Dark )Foxpaw moved along the branch as far as he dared to and grinned up at Circketpaw as she reached down from above him. He ducked and crawled back towards the trunk. "Not today, mighty hunter!" he called out, quickly gripping onto the trunk, sliding down a bit and then just loosening his grip and dropping down the rest. With a chuckle he landed on his paws, staggering a little but quickly regaining his balance. (and then Cricketpaw just drops down too and squashes him xD)
