<---------------------------------------->
The tortoiseshell apprentice wasn't exactly feeling like he was on great terms with Darkpaw. "I can't belive you didn't tell us you were a cavedweller-in-training! You cam't go out hunting- You're supposed to stay here. Darkpaw, you can't switch to be a landhunter! It was decided you're a cavedweller, and nothing should change that." Adderpaw snapped, feeling a bit sympathetic, but he couldn't let Darkpaw switch over to something he wasn't just to be on a hunting patrol. "The clan needs more caedwellers," he added cautiously. "I don't think you should come hunting with us."

Nettlefang - Unusually curious about Weaselbite.
TheKeenGlint <-------------------------------------> Nettlefang could feel the breeze brush past his brown-white pelt, as he peered past the mountains, spotting the place where the forest once was. Itching to get his paws out for a hunt, he slipped back into the cave from where he sat on the large rock cleft that stuck out from the cave's entrance. There was a stair-like tunnel passageway that led toward the bottom of the mountain, in which they used to hunt and patrol. He ducked under the edge of the cave entrance, and spotting Weasealbite, he padded over to them. "Greetings, Weaselbite, I was sort of hoping you'd like to come by stream down by the bottom of the mountain with me for a bit of a hunt. What do you say?" He eagerly meowed to the she-cat, in hopes she'd give an approving nod or a promising mew. Although he'd never say it aloud, or tell anyone, he sort of liked Weasealbite in the "I'd like to be mates" sort of way, and was hopinh he'd get to know her better. |

"Okay." Said a sad Darkpaw surprised at Adderpaws temper then sad again."I'll just go back to my nest if you want to see me." She had never felt so rejected in her life. she left with her tail trailing behind her.

Adderpaw - Trying to apologize to Darkpaw. <--------------------------------------->
"Darkpaw..." The words seemed to slip out blankly. He raced after the she-cat. "Darkpaw, I'm sorry. But you shouldn't change your position for anyone. I'm sure you can still hunt as a cavedweller. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been rude like that. Can you... Forgive me?" Adderpaw explained to her, feeling his heart stiffen with regret. He sighed. "Can we still be friends?" |

Being a Cavedweller had its perks, Weaselbite mused. A well-maintained cave or tunnel was a great place to train, so she took pride in keeping them clean and safe, especially in the areas where light struggled to reach. So when Nettlefang padded over to the entrance of the tunnels, she assumed it was to commend her and the other Cavedwellers on their hard work.
Instead, here he was, asking her to accompany him on a hunting trip.
Althought Weaselbite's expression remained neutral and friendly, her heart skipped a beat at the suggestion. All those moons of pining came flooding back... Her feelings for Nettlefang were a closely-guarded secret; while she was able to interact with him as a friend and as warrior and deputy, she wondered if there was an ulterior motive to this little trip. Regardless, she unknowingly gave him a firm nod. Quick and to the point.
"Y-yeah, sure," she mewed, trying to keep her tail not too high up. No use coming on too strong. "Caves are looking tidy today, so I've got some time to kill. Might as well make myself useful and catch something."

((OOC: I assumed Mallowblossom and Nettlefang were mates, judging by their earlier interactions.)) |

Spicepaw (talking to Adderpaw)
Spicepaw watched Darkpaw pad away sadly and stared accusingly at Adderpaw. She had heard the tom's rude words to Darkpaw. "You shouldn't have done that. It's not like cavedwellers can't hunt. Or do you think that now?"

Darkpaw talking to Adderpaw
"I...I" the words didn't come out. She looked away feeling sad all over again. Adderpaw gave a wince and Darkpaw immediately felt terrible that she had done that. "Adderpaw wait!" she called but the tom had already left looking sad as ever.
She curled up in her nest and fell into a sad, guilty sleep.

Pineshade walkes out of the nursery
She approached Eagletuft and she sat beside him. " Hey Eagletuft." Do you want to go on a hunt with me?" "I hear there is quite a bit of prey around." She said nervously. "Maybe just us ." She was really hoping for a yes.

Adderpaw - Going hunting with Eagletuft and Spicepaw (and Darkpaw possibly) x------------------------------------------x
Adderpaw glanced at Spicepaw, his eyes dim with unsureness. "Everyone knows Cavedwellers don't hunt unless the leader or deputy asks," He sniffed. Ignoring Spicepaw's assumed glare. He padded over to Eagletuft. "Are we going hunting or what?" Adderpaw hissed eagerly.x------------------------------------------x Nettlefang - Hunting with Weaselbite.
"Perfect!" Nettlefang exclaimed gleefully. He bounded toward the cave entrance. Turning around to see if Weaselbite had followed, he gave a little teasing mew, "last one to the stream is a piece of crow-food!" He teased, bounding away to gain a head start. |

Adderpaw - Slightly annoyed. "Eagletuft, hurry up! Please, I want to sink my teeth into a rabbit or a bird." Adderpaw pleaded, feeling rather annoyed with Pineshade since she was holding up the operation. He was also annoyed Eagletuft couldn't clearly see Pineshade wanted to be mates with him, but he wasn't about to get into relationship drama now. Perhaps he'd tell Eagletuft what he thought during hunting? He knew what it was like to have a crush on a cat and not being ready to admit it... "Ugh, Pineshade can come, let's just go." |

As she walked out of the cave with Spicepaw Adderpaw and Eagletuft she apologized "sorry for holding up you guys up." She meowed. "I can see that Adderpaw is a bit ... Impatient" "Anyways where are we hunting?"

Darkpaw
"Wait for me!"she mewed racing after the cats at the entrance of the cave. She still wanted to be friends with Adderpaw. She decided to tell him when they started hunting.
She wanted to tell him she wanted to be ... more than a friend but she didn't have the courage to say that, well not yet.

Spicepaw let out an annoyed huff before turning around to meet Darkpaw. "Where do you want to hunt?" she asked the she-cat. She could see Eagletuft, Adderpaw, and Pineshade padding outside the cave. Spicepaw bounded outside, glancing back to see if Darkpaw was following.

Adderpaw - Ready to Hunt with Eagletuft, Spicepaw, Darkpaw and Pineshade. Adderpaw let out a snort and narrowed his eyes on Pineshade. " I think I can fairly be impatient." He sniffed to the she-cat, annoyed she was letting her feelings get in between hunting. Turning to Eagletuft, he hissed, "can we please, please, please just go already? I know exactly when I want to hunt and where. Were all set, so let's just go!" He was now heavily itching to let his paws feel the grass, and his claws sink into prey. Just then, he noticed Darkpaw bound up. "Darkpaw! I'm glad you changed your mind. Listen, I think I was seriously rude back there, and of course cavedwellers can hunt. If you still want to be one, that is." He added the last part hastily. Smiling, he beckoned her and the rest of the patrol over. "Spicepaw, remember that training session we had last moon? It was the time Appletalon tripped over that rock when he was demonstrating a hunting crouch." He quietly shared the memory with his denmate, recalling when the pale warrior had tripped over a rock when demonstrating a hunter's crouch. He missed having training sessions with Spicepaw, as by now their mentors hardly decided to train together. Suppressing a sigh he waited patiently. |

"Sounds good to me." Eagletuft answered. "We could use a little bit of teamwork to catch some rabbits." He leads the way out of camp and heads in the direction of the plain reign.

Gleeful he'd been happily forgiven by Darkpaw, he made his way down the mountain slope, still talking with Spicepaw about the hilarious incident they'd encountered during their training session. "We should ask out mentors if we can train together more," Adderpaw murmured suggestively. "I've missed all the times we spent training together dearly. Like the time you caught your first rabbit, and we ate it together afterwards." Adderpaw meowed wistfully, staring off into the distance to recreate the moment in his mind. Turning back to Spicepaw, he gave a soft smile. "I'd love to be made warriors together. Training hard, fighting battles side-by-side, mourning lost clanmates and cherishing new births. It all seemes to be within the grasp of our paws." His wistful expression faded as they felt grass soothe their tired paws, as they came to the realization they'd made it to the bottom of the mountain, where the rabbit's he'd promised were. "First one to catch a rabbit gets first pick of fresh-kill!" Adderpaw yelled playfully, and using his tail, he beckoned Spicepaw to a race to the rabbit patch.

"Lively bunch aren't they." Eagletuft remarked looking over at Pineshade. He wondered if the apprentices realized that they needed to be quiet in order to catch their prey. "Reminds me of my own apprentice days."

Spicepaw nodded. "I wonder what our warrior names will be," she meowed thoughtfully. She, too, had fond memories of training with Adderpaw. The second we get back to camp, I'm asking Eagletuft if I can train with Adderpaw! "I want to be named something fierce. Like Spicestorm or Spiceclaw!" The dark ginger she-cat bounded toward the rabbit patch, skidding on the grass as she reached it and scanned the grassy clearing for rabbits. |

Adderpaw - Hunting with Spicepaw
He nodded in agreement with Spicepaw. "I'd like a name like, hmm, Adderstrike! Or maybe Adderclaw? Either way, I hope they'll be cool!" Adderpaw meowed, his tone deeper than usual in a way that makes him sound like a warrior already.
Parting his mouth to taste the air, he scented a rabbit burrowing way off. "I've got one!" Adderpaw called out to Eagletuft. He quickly forced himself into a hunter's crouch, and luckily for him, he had done it well, so it was an easy and swift catch. The rabbit hadn't heard or seen the predator stalking them, but the rabbit must have scented him, because just as it turned around to see what the scent was, Adderpaw made a leap and killed it in a swift bite on the neck, preventing it from harming Adderpaw with it's sharp teeth and claws. "I think I caught the first one!" Adderpaw called out prudly through a muffled voice of rabbit.
Suddenly, he saw Darkpaw. "Darkpaw! How's your hunting going, catch anything yet?"

Darkpaw
"I think I see one over there" she went into a crouch then launched herself in full speed over to the rabbit then neatly ended it with a swift bite to the neck. "It's a plump one too." She exclaimed happily eyeing her kill. "That's a nice rabbit Adderpaw!"

"Perfect!" Nettlefang exclaimed gleefully. He bounded toward the cave entrance. Turning around to see if Weaselbite had followed, he gave a little teasing mew, "last one to the stream is a piece of crow-food!" He teased, bounding away to gain a head start.Weaselbite
Well, if nothing else, Weaselbite accepting Nettlefang's invitation made the deputy happy, she mused. If this trip goes to pot, at least she could have that to fall back on. She was about to make a comment on how chipper he looked today when he ran off out the cave, egging her on to follow him.
"Oh, you're on!" She meowed, revelling in the opportunity for some healthy competition. She launched forward after him, gaining speed until the two cats were just about neck-and-neck as they passed through the cave's mouth.
