Fly

(Alright! I'll add her as soon as i have time, then. This is probably my last post today, cause I am severely behind on homework xD)

Springpaw's ears perked up and she mewed excitedly, "Fighting! Can we fight with Firepaw and Echopool and Summerpaw and Hollyfire?"

Rippleclaw blinked in surprise and peered down at the little kit. "Grumpy?" he growled, half in play and half serious, "Since when am I grumpy?" He couldn't help but smile slightly inside at Dustkit. Though they are annoying, kits sure can be cute. Occasionally. 

Dustkit looked at Rippleclaw, her face serious, "You look grumpy." She said very mater-of-factly.

"Alright, why don't we just take all the apprentice's and the mentors?" Windflight suggested.

Hallowpaw steps out of the apprentices den looking like she had just fought a battle, her fur puffed up with bits of moss embeded in it.

Willowwater grins "We will see about that..." she giggles softly and pads over to copperpaw "hey, we are going out on a hunting patrol today.... so i want to see your style out there! and maybe i'll teach you how to fish!" her eyes gleam with excitement.

Firepaw grins as he watches Springpaw for a moment before looking around camp "Hey Summerpaw, where is your mentor? Hollyfires never around to teach you... shes always at that dumb stream..." He frowns.

(Hey Mirage, who's the leader? Autum went inactive a little before we closed the sight, so idk if you wanna have Blackstar or what.)

Hailstorm nodded and smiled at Tanglefoot. "I'll check on the plants today and if everything is growing well i'll collect some in a few days and i'll be happy to have you help. Now i'm gonna see about patrols." He said, giving Tanglefoot a nod before  bounding lightly over to Willowwater. "Hey, you guys knows who's going out on patrol?"

"Okay." Copperpaw said, "Where are we going?"

Windflight trotted over to Willowwater and Copperpaw, "How about we take all the apprentice's out and work on hunting then maybe a night ambush practice." She suggested to the Willowwater

Willowwater nods "Thats a good idea, Windfilight." She turns to Hailpaw "Skyfleck, Windflight, Echopool, and myself are going out hunting with Springpaw, Firepaw, Summerpaw, and Copperpaw.... Why?" she glances over at Hallowpaw for a moment, feeling bad for her.

(Really? That's too bad. How about we keep Blackstar for a little bit and see who is interested in being leader? Then when he dies that person will be the deputy and go through the whole process)

Springpaw's already large eyes seemed to enlargen drastically in excitement. "Night ambush?" she all but squealed, "Like, late at night? When? So we can stay up super late? Who are we ambushing? Can we pick our own teams? Ooh, can I be a team leader?!" The little tabby apprentice was all but bouncing up and down, speaking so rapidly it sounded more like: lilaanighwhesostaupsulawhoaweamshingcawepiowteamooocaibteamleadah?

Skyfleck frowned slightly as the training was organized. At this rate, it would be way too crowded for him to go. And with all of these other warriors, there would be no time to spend time with the pretty she-cat. The flirt shrugged and searched the camp for another she-cat, this time one without an apprentice. He blinked, aghast. Only Briarrose and Raindrop were left, and while Briarrose is simply unapproachable, Raindrop is too serious for a player like him. But.. wait! He heard his name and grinned as he trotted over to join them.

Rippleclaw cracked a slight smile at Dustkit, then heard the discussion. Four of the apprentices were going out.... He made a quick decision that he would have Riverpaw join in the night ambush, but could help with Clan duties today. Flicking Dustkit lightly with his tail, he mewed a goodbye and padded over to his apprentice. "Riverpaw, I need you to check that Curlyfur is comfortable and get her some food, then help with clearing out any old bedding. As soon as you finish, you can grab a bite to eat and I might bring you out to patrol the borders if you are fast enough. Get to it." Nodding briskly, the rugged silver warrior turned to get his own duties done. 

Grasswhisker bounded quickly over to the gathered cats. "Can I come with Hallowpaw?" the handsome tabby asked, ignoring the angry look Skyfleck flashed him for intruding on the all-she-cat warrior patrol. 

Duskclaw lifted his head to the sound of his name and gave a little bit of a start as he saw who was approaching. Composing himself, he nodded, making sure to hide his emotions at least for the time being. "It indeed is. They prey sure will be running soon. This leaf-bare was an especially cold one; it seemed to go on for quite awile." Duskclaw said, glancing back over to the she-cat, getting caught by her beauty. 

Summerpaw's tail slightly drooped at the mentor of her mentor, also noticing the disappearence as well. Her ears perked up at the mention of training with the others, her tail flicking back and forth as she glanced over at Firepaw and Springpaw, smiling as did usually around these two cats.

Riverpaw gave a nodd to his mentor and picked himself up from where he was sitting, dreading a bit the prospect of waking of Curlyfur if she wasn't already awake. Sticking his head silently into the Elder's den, he murmered softly to the elder, knowing that he shouldn't let his bad mood get in the way of his duties. "Curlyfur? Are you alright?" He asked, his voice hardly above a whisper but loud enough that she could hear.

Echopool smiled brightly and tucked her tail around her paws, her nerves going down as she surronded by her clanmates with the sun warming her fur. 

(Alright, I updated the Mentors/Apprentices a bit now that Kai is back with us. Please check the box!)

The seal point beauty sat down next to the tom barely a mouselength away, giving him a stunning smile. "I really can't stand the cold," Briarrose mewed, shuddering delicately at the thought of the rough leaf-bare, "Though snow is very pretty, after the first time it just becomes an overly freezing bother. I think Newleaf is the best, not too hot but not cold." Lifting her head skyward, she closed her brilliant eyes and gave a gentle sigh, relishing the feeling of the warm sunlight on her face.

Inside the elders den, two infamously large and sharp-hearing ears pricked up out of the mass of curly red and white fur, and a grumble replied the inquiery. Sitting up, Curlyfur opened her large, sky blue eyes to regard the much larger apprentice. In her old age, the already small she-cat had seemed to shrink, seeming skin and bones under her curly fur. Still, her wits were bright and she could keep a somewhat civil manner about her. "Course I'm alright," she grumbled sharply, giving her thin body a shake, "You cats worry too much." Her eyes softened slightly as she added, "Yes, I'm fine, dear." She hauled herself to her feet, trembling softly before finding her ground. My legs sure aren't what they used to be, she thought ruefully to herself, before attempting to shove past the much larger and younger cat in front of her into camp.

(( Hey Scar, did Duskclaw and Leafblaze still have a thing going on? If not, we could say that they had a falling out of sorts or something if you'd rather. Or just start without them having anything. ))

Leafblaze sat in the clearing and she picked up one small paw and lapped at it before drawing it over her face, giving herself a quick groom. Flicking her tail tip, she continued to groom as her leafy green eyes scanned the clearing, watching the camp in the warming new-leaf weather.

Runningpaw slipped out of the apprentice's den, giving his long furred coat a shake. He looked around with hesitant eyes, his pale green gaze filled with a wariness. His ear flicked with nervousness as he paused near the entrance of the den. 'These are your Clanmates, Runningpaw. They always have been, always will be...' he thought. He hated being so insecure, but he just couldn't help it.

Mosspaw blinked open her eyes only to squint them. "Urgh....so bright.." she mumbled, burying her head back in her paws. Then that sunk in. "Oh!" Scrambling up to her paws, she darted out of the den, hoping that she hadn't slept in too late. Her gaze still bleary with sleep, she careened straight into a fluffy white form outside the den. She tumbled into an undignafied heap, her fur in wild tangles as she shook her head. "S-sorry!" she stammered, seeing it was Runningpaw whom she had just slammed into.

Runningpaw heard scrambling behind him and was about to turn around when he was carried off his paws. He let out a startled yowl and rolled across the ground. Springing up to his paws, fur fluffed up and a wild look in his eyes, Runningpaw swallowed loudly, heart hammering. As a voice apologized, his head swung around to see Mosspaw, lying in a heap, looking quite embarrassed. "S'alright..." he mumbled, staring at her wide-eyed.

Hearing a commotion and tired of being ignored, Springpaw bounded over to the apprentices den. "What happe-" she began, then froze, narrowing her eyes slightly. Oh. Him. "Runtpaw," she muttered for his ears only as she stalked past the tom to Mosspaw (although she really isn't one to talk about being small). "What happened?" she asked, head cocked to the side and silvery eyes bright in curiousity.

Runningpaw ears swiveled and a small frown flashed across his face as he heard Springpaw, but he quickly whiped it away. He watched Springpaw go over to Mosspaw and he had to force himself to stay standing where he was, awkward as it was.

Mosspaw looked at Springpaw and stood up, shaking out her fur. "Well, eh-heh... I sort of, might have crashed into Runningpaw." she said sheepishly, grinning her embarrassment. She had heard no remark from Springpaw, nor had she seen the flash of sadness across Runningpaw's face. "Guess I'm still as clutzy as a kit, huh?" she poked fun at herself.

"Tonight, yes, that will be decided, yes and maybe." Windflight told Springpaw "Sure Grasswhisker you can come."  (Does Runningpaw have a mentor?)

Littlesquirrel lifts her head drowsily, wha?

(He will as soon as I see who doesn't have an apprentice. I want everyone to be evenly matched up. I might give him to one of your new cats, if that's ok)

"Thank you!" Springpaw called over her shoulder to her mentor before turning her attention back to Mosspaw.Imagining the scene, she grinned and nudged a paw at the grey apprentice. "Hey, he was the one standing in your way. Don't worry, I can promise there are cats more clumsy then you!" A mischeiviously secretive look came over her face and she leaned forward slightly. "You should have seen Firepaw when he was first made into an apprentice! On our first day out, he managed to run into three trees and fell into the stream!" She laughed at the memory of her friend, then asked, "Are you coming hunting with us?"

Getting up, Littlesquirrel shook her head. The sun cast ray of Light onto the ground, making her Tabby pelt glimmer. Sighing she padded into the Clearing, a dumb smile plastered on her lips.

Hailstorm twistched his ear. "Well, actually i was hoping to go out with a patrol, but you've already got a huge patrol so i'll join in on one later." He meowed, heading back towards his den. He passed near the apprentice's den and  waved his tail to Mosspaw as he passed.

Littlesquirrel looked at Hailstorm, and Closed her Soft Green eyes.

Ashclaw stalked out of the warriors' den, already in a foul mood. He'd rolled onto a thorn from his nest in his sleep, and now he had an annoying itch in his side. Letting his yellow eyes range around camp, he was surprised at the number of cats. Sitting down a few yards from the entrance, he let out a yawn before grooming his short grey fur.

Angelwing appeared a few moments after her brother from the den, though a pretty, eager smile was on her face. The ginger she-cat glanced around, assuming a patrol had already gone.
