They're actually getting things together, I was just visiting them to help out." It heightened his concern that Willowrose was recruiting for RiverClan despite being a newer member herself, and he wasn't sure if she'd checked with Lionstar prior to poaching from the other Clans. Now that they had assisted WindClan, it wasn't going to look great if they continued taking their warriors. "..Uh, yeah, probably. I'm sure." His mindless reply was evidence of his lack of attention, but he found this far more pressing in the grand scheme of things. "So, um... you can just tell him that WindClan is doing about the same as RiverClan," he said with the shakiest of smiles, "and he can stay right there with them. No need to Clan-hop."

Willowrose looked at him. He wasn't understanding, but of course he wasn't. He didn't know who Pricklebush was to him. Pricklebush knew that Windclan was doing just as good. He wanted to join to be with her. They had feelings still. "I didn't ask him to join. He said he wanted to join. We were mates and our feelings never really changed. He doesn't want to join Riverclan because Windclan's doing fine. Its because he wants to be with me.", she whispered. Willowrose didn't understand why they were talking about this. This was a clan meeting.

Fawnsqueak's expression fell, jaw going slack. His mind raced. Initially, he'd been under the impression this was easily solvable: tell Lionstar that Willowrose had a stalker problem with the ex-mate and then he wouldn't be joining, but that... It was more complicated as she said our. Our feelings -- not just his, and he was rendered tongue-tied while struggling to determine what to even say about this. Gaze darting, his cheeks heated with hurt and embarrassment because he should've known this was a bad idea and would backfire eventually, his stupid plan of allowing WindClan to join their ranks. Willowrose had been seeing someone behind her new Clan's back, a betrayal to them and a stab in the gut for more reasons than that. "I thought you said.. that you weren't," he tried to get the words out, choking on them, "that you guys weren't... y'know, right.. for each other." Fawnsqueak drew in a shuddering sigh as he separated his own heartbreak to mumble, "Maybe you should join him." If she was willing to break the code to see the guy, Fawnsqueak wasn't sure it was the right place for her.

Willowrose began to think about this a bit. Would she want him to join Riverclan. Of course not! She left him for a reason. This had to stop. The molly looked at Fawnsqueak. "Your right. I left him, because We weren't right for one another.", she meowed. The black and white molly would stop seeing him and be loyal to the clan that took her in. She had been much more happier here then there. She wouldn't leave to join them even if her life depended on it. "I guess I need to just forget about him. Theres other tom's here.", she meowed. Willowrose forced the thought of him out of her mind to enjoy being part of Riverclan. This was her home and she will be loyal to it no matter what.

Throat tight, Fawnsqueak could only eye her with caution. "Did you?" he asked, mildly dubious now that it seemed they'd been congregating at least once at the border. "I mean, I-- I was under the impression that you already were done." Literal moons ago, and if he'd thought she still had ties to WindClan, he wouldn't have suggested coming here. It was a blow to his trust to learn Willowrose was willing to risk everything for the ex-mate that she also hadn't bothered to mention when asked if she still had important figures in her life that lived in her previous Clan. Needless to say, Fawnsqueak was disbelieving and continued to inwardly berate himself himself for his dumb decision. "Yeah," he said, shakily exhaling a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, "I guess." Even after what was supposedly a promise to leave it behind, his head was reeling, drowning in its own doubts.

Willowrose hated Windclan and Twilightstar as the leader. She was lazy and Willowrose would rather become a rogue than to join back to the clan that brought her a bunch of problems. "I promise you I'll stop seeing him. I hate him!", she meowed. The black and white molly was starting to get irritated. She would never join Windclan. Everyone was right Pricklebush is a creep and is no good for her. This was her clan now not Windclan. Fawnsqueak couldn't see that. Willowrose was about to get up and walk away, but decided not to or it will cauyse trouble between her and Fawnsqueak. The last thing she wanted to do is have him no longer trust her or worse lose their friendship.

CHECK FOR MENTIONS CAREFULLY - YOU MAY HAVE REPEATS!

RiverClan Announcement [#liontalks]

Pleased to see they all had gathered-- and fairly timely, at that, Lionstar beamed at his little army of vicious babies.

"Alright, let's get started. Pebblekit, unfortunately we already have another Pebblepaw so your name is going to be temporarily changed to avoid confusion.. have no fear! I believe the fat Pebble is nearing the end of his training, so once he has his warrior name we'll return you to your Pebble status. Until that day, you will be known as Stonepaw [ @PebbleStorm], and Sagehawk [ @pathos] will be overseeing your training. Sagehawk, I know you to be a fiercely dedicated warrior and I trust you will pass on your reliability to Stonepaw.

"Fogkit [ @Blissie Bliss], let me be very clear about this: I don't give a damn about disabilities! If you have the capacity to provide for the Clan, you will. Until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Fogpaw, and Galedust [ @Jynx] will be your mentor. Galedust, I trust you can handle Fogpaw's training-- you may need to make some adjustments to your usual routine to ensure he can keep up. His deafness should make your experience as a mentor interesting!

"Marigoldkit [ @Blissie Bliss], from this day forth you will be known as Marigoldpaw. Brightwing [ @Turtle]... I haven't seen you around too recently, but I hope you can make an effort to greet your apprentice and get started on her training. I know you have been a solid warrior in the past, let's work to not let that change.

"Featherkit [ @Daylily Orchid], from this day forth you will be known as Featherpaw. Ripplestep [ @mochi], I trust you can handle this apprentice! I am aware you're more reliable with training and patrols than.. some other cats in this Clan," like her sister, who couldn't even keep track of the ugly apprentice, "so I hope you won't let me down."

Phew, they were barely halfway done!

"Moonkit [ @Miss kitty cat], until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Moonpaw. Gentlethunder [ @Starfall], I know you already lost your first apprentice.. try not to lose this one, too, jackass!

"Koikit [ @Fallenpine], until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Koipaw. Brambleblaze [ @SilentLamb], you've recently lost both your apprentices.. but I know it's not your fault, you've always been a fantastic warrior. I trust you will pass on your courage and stouthearted-ness to Koipaw.

"Willowkit [ @Starfall], from this moment forth you will be known as Willowpaw. Owlflight [ @Wings], keep Willowpaw close-- they already went missing once, we don't need a repeat! More seriously, I hope you will pass your cunning-ness and adaptability to Willowpaw.

"Greenkit [ @Greenleap], from this moment forth you will be known as Greenpaw. Willowrose [ @Blissie Bliss], I hope you're done talking with Fawnsqueak so you can greet this fiery bundle of gray! Your courage knows no bounds and I hope you can pass your spirit to Greenpaw."

He paused now, partially to take a breath and also let the apprentices be congratulated and greet their mentors. So many today! He was glad he did this-- it'd really cut down on the nursery count.

[The Shadow Flower]

StonePaw would bounce at her new name, she sounded so tough!
She’d look excitedly around for her new mentor @pathos

[Starfall]

The warrior lifted up a paw to his maw "Wasn't my fault she didn't show up, ass!" he called once Lionstar had finished with this first batch of announcements. Picking himself up with a grunt he made his way towards the center of the crowd in an attempt to meet with his apprentice.
@Miss kitty cat

--

Willowpaw beamed up at Lionstar. Oh this was so exciting! An apprentice now! He'd be sure to pay attention to where he was going from now on! Practically jumping up he ducked beneath the taller felines, swiftly making his way towards Owlflight.
@Wings

The tom's gaze wandered slowly through the crowd - taking stock of who was there and, more importantly, who wasn't - before moving up to Lionstar as the leader conducted the ceremonies. Eight ceremonies at that, quite a day indeed. He couldn't quite recall his own ceremony - it hadn't been terribly eventful and not quite as... crowded? His own brother hadn't been there to share the day, only one other kit who didn't last. Eight kits being promoted in one day was just... a lot. He watched as the newly-made apprentices found their way to their mentors with a certain warmth in his eyes despite the lack of a smile on his face.

[Madelaine]

Fogkit read the leaders lips as he became Fogpaw. The white tom dipped his head, understanding him. He wouldn't let his disability make him not be able to become a warrior. Fogpaw looked around the camp for his new mentor.

Marigoldpaw eyes shined as she looked up at Lionstar. She didn't care who her mentor was unless they didn't train her. The young molly turned to greet Brightwing. She was so excited to have finally became an apprentice.

Willowrose turned her head when Lionstar called her name. She was going to be a mentor? Thsi was something she wasn't expecting, but this would help her get her mind of of Pricklebush. Now she was going to be even more loyal to her new clan. Willowrose walked up to Greenpaw and touched noses. Her lower eye looked at him. "I'll be the best mentor I can be. I promise.", she meowed.
