Chestnutfur smiled at Hickoryshade before padding away, heading towards the Warrior's den and ready to settle down in her nest and get some much needed rest.
Silverfox looked up from where she had dragged a mouse off of the fresh-kill pile, blinking tired eyes at Sprucetail. Picking up the mouse, she padded over to where he was laying, giving him a small nod, "Thanks." She mumbled around the mouse, flopping down next to him. "You would think that I would be refreshed after a nap, but I guess that isn't the case for me." She said with a sigh, looking down at her mouse.
---------
Specklefrost felt a warm flush go through her fur, blinking rapidly at Silvermask, "M-me? Pretty?" She squeaked, completely forgetting about the bird and the messy catch. "U-um, thanks. I-I... um, thanks." She mewed, shuffling her paws shyly.
"Things are getting tense in the city, it was good that you avoided going there." Echo said, glancing down at her healing wounds. "It wasn't always safe there, but lately it's even more dangerous than it usually is. A new group has been growing in power and taking over any of the unclaimed territories, as well as some of the smaller territories that belonged to other rogue communities. That's how I got injured, I wandered into a territory that had previously been safe before and ran into a patrol." She gave a frustrated shake of her head. Echo had always been careful to avoid the larger groups in the city, and it angered her that she had let her guard down like that.

He settled back down in his spot, eyeing Silverfox curiously. “I can understand it. All that’s happened the last few days. It’s been rough, for everyone.” He consoled.

Silverfox sighed as she stared down at her mouse, "I'm not sure really." She mewed, finally forcing herself to take a bite from her prey. "The thought of the Dark Forest killing us in our dreams terrifies me, even though I doubt the Dark Forest even has a reason to target me in the first place." She mewed, looking back at Sprucetail.

It's alright :) ) "If it happens again and Thunderclan is in the same spot it was in last time. I encourage you to flee to the other clans for help. If my sister and I had done that when we were young, perhaps she would have seen warriorhood." Shadowblossom mewed with a sigh, always missing Blossompaw whom she had chosen her warrior name for. Bramblefur nodded. "Okay, but hopefully the cats in the darkforest stay in the darkforest" He commented. The mention of Shadowblossoms sister intrigued him, Bramblefur didn't know that she had one! "I'm sorry" He said. He didn't had littermates, but losing his mother would crush him.

"You'd think I've lived long enough by now to not be spooked by cowards like those in the Dark Forest, but... Yarrowcloud was always so strong, it seemed like death could never take him. And suddenly, he's just... gone." He sighed, before he looked at Silverfox. "If you like, I can talk with you in the Warrior's den at night. Maybe it'll help us both sleep, if we distract eachother before we sleep."

dewbranch )) Dawnpaw paused for a second as they walked, before he softened once more and gave Yewpaw a soft sigh. He offered her an assuring smile, though he mewed honestly. "Admittedly, I'm just... kind of caught up on how much Scarletpaw and Tigerpaw seem to be bothered by me. I try my best to be a good brother, I've never slighted them or tried to hurt them, but... they just seem to not even like me." He averted his eyes. "We're supposed to be siblings, you know? And I'm trying, but I feel like they just don't want me around." Icefire15 )) Hickoryshade looked at the prey and offered Chestnutfur a calm and curious hum. "What would you like? I'm letting you call the shots on this one. We can continue, or go back, either way we'll have done more than enough hunting for the Clan, yes?" She reminded with a hint of a smirk. Yewpaw felt bad for Dawnpaw. Sure he was older, and he was almost a warrior, but she seemed, kind of sad and lonely. It made her realize that there was more to life than just being a warrior, like friendships and kin. "I'm sorry, that sounds horrible! Have you tried talking to them about it?" She asked. sorry for the super late reply!))

I hope you're right and the dark forest cats stay where they are. They've already been defeated once, there's no need to try again."

Sootpaw lifted up his bird proudly to show his mentor before setting it down, "Will we pick the squirrel up when we head back too?" He asked, remembering that he had caught one earlier before the mouse. "Well, of course!" Magpiewing reassured. "We wouldn't want to leave prey buried in the ground when it can be eaten. You deserve to bring this prey back with pride." she said, flicking her tail. "Well done today. Next time we train, we can refocus on your battle moves." She paused at that in consideration. If Lightningstar seriously wanted to consider taking back Sunningrocks, Sootpaw would need to be prepared for a potential fight. The idea made her want to shuffle her paws in apprehension.

I hope you're right and the dark forest cats stay where they are. They've already been defeated once, there's no need to try again." Bramblefur didn’t see himself as much as a fighter, and if Adderclan rose again, or even a group of Dark forest cats banded together, he would run, like Shadowblossom had told him to. “I hope not” He commented. “If something dies happen though, we could run together? Go to another clan or… or even leave them?” The thought of leaving the clans was not a welcome thought, but the thought of living through a major devastation might be too much. For him, and for her, to be honest. But if they left, would they be able to return? Or would they be disgraced? Do I even want to run? Would I have the guts? Maybe if my life was in danger, or somecat I cared about.

Shadowblossom glanced back at the warrior's den where she had recently seen her son and his mate disappear into. "As much as I would want to run. I will stay wherever my kits go. Midnightstream will have Darktail's kits within the next moon or two. They may be too small to escape with them. I will not leave my grandkits behind. I already lost Featherfoot once too. I will not lose him a second time."

The thought scared him more than the thought of the Dark Forest attacking the clans. Maybe because I would still have cats around whom agreed with me. But would they? Would all the cats that were good be dead? Would he? "It must be nice to have generations of family around" He said, hoping to talk about something lighter.

"It is nice, to know that half the clan is related to you in some way through my mother and aunts. I hope you find that some day Bramblefur. One day when you're much older, you'll look around and find yourself surrounded by your kin as well." Shadowblossom replied with a gentle smile.

(Posting for Ghostscreech, so we can finally bring the disastrous Twolegplace patrol home lol)
Ghostscreech sighed as they finally made his way back into the ThuderClan camp, looking back at the remains of the Twolegplace patrol. "Come with me, we'll go straight to Lightningstar and let him know what happened." He said, not even stopping in his pace as he made his way over to the leader's den.

She mewed, swallowing the bite of mouse. "Talking might help keep my mind off of such things, and hopefully put me more at ease." Silverfox added, giving him a small, but grateful smile. "Thank you for the offer, Sprucetail."

Frostmoon silently entered camp, her body thrumming for her to help search for Arcticbreeze, or to persuade Lightningstar to let them try. She held back, knowing that Ghostscreech would want Ravenshade and Nettlepatch in there, she would just take up needless room.
Noticing his daughter’s strain as soon as she came in, Hornetstrike stood up and made his way over to her. He blinked in shock as she explained what Flarestorm told them, and what the Twolegplace patrol had seen.

Sootpaw perked up at that and nodded excitedly, "Okay!" He purred, scampering back in the direction that he had buried his squirrel. Reaching the spot, he dropped his bird and quickly dug up the squirrel and added it in with his bird as well before looking back up at Magpiewing, "Ready!"

"Thank you for the offer, Sprucetail." “Of course. Anything that helps.” Sprucetail smiled a bit awkwardly at Silverfox, but remained friendly. Socializing was much easier for Hickoryshade, but Sprucetail was far kinder when it came to empathizing with others. He noticed the Twolegplace patrol returning. “Oh! They’re finally back!”

Nettlepatch followed after Ghostscreech toward Lightningstar's den. His heart pounded faster as they approached it, he had never been in the leader's den before.

One day when you're much older, you'll look around and find yourself surrounded by your kin as well." Shadowblossom replied with a gentle smile. "Thank you" Oh how he wished for it too, although he was still young, not quite ready to settle down yet. It seemed nice, knowing that most cats were bound to you by kin, and that you always had somecat there for you. "That seems nice"

I would offer a free cat to you for shipping dew but all my open cats are toms except for Stumppaw who is like a baby apprentice so she would be a warrior for a long time )
Shadowblossom looked away from Bramblefur as she spotted Nettlepatch and Ravenshade walk into camp with Ghostscreech. She frowned, ears flicking curiously. "Where is Arcticbreeze?" she murmured. She shook her head, hoping she had just gotten caught up somewhere. "That's the one downside of having so much kin. You're always worrying about someone or something. It's the price of loving them."

That should be soon shouldn't it?" She said, although it wasn't as enthusiastic as she wanted it to be with the mouse muffling most of her speech, as it came out slow and lispy.

Articbreeze must be out of camp. "That makes sense, but it must be very rewarding, knowing you have somecat there for you most of the time" He pointed out. Although, how much did it hurt when you lost them? Were you close to all of them? All these questions swirled in his mind, but he didn't want to ask them, afraid for an answer he didn't want.

night dew! )
Shadowblossom shook her head with a sad smile, "We were a mess to be honest. Both of us had lost so much in the war we had lost our faith in Starclan. We relied on each other heavily to get through that time and realized one day sitting by the stream that what we had was love. We pulled each other out of the darkness and back into the light and started our family. When Featherfoot was taken by the hawk as a kit, I thought maybe everything would fall apart again, but it didn't. It only made us stronger."

Silverfox looked up and watched as the patrol made their way over to Lightningstar's den, her ear twitching curiously, "They're not carrying any prey... and where's Arcticbreeze? Didn't she go with them?" She mewed, looking back at Sprucetail with a small frown. Had something happened while they were in the Twolegplace?
Ghostscreech came to a stop just outside Lightningstar's den and peered inside, wanting to make sure the leader was already up before he called in. "Lightningstar? The Twolegplace patrol just returned, there's some news." He mewed, eyes squinting as he looked inside the dim den.
