ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

[Mauve]

Emberwing had finally decided to go get her pelt checked over. It had been put off long enough, and she knew that her friends in the Clan would've been furious with her if she'd put it off any longer. She couldn't shake the frightened feeling she got, however, when thinking of putting her care in the hands of an apprentice. An untrained apprentice. She missed the old days, where ThunderClan's medicine cats had experience, and knowledge, and knew how to take care of wounds other than thorns in pads, or brambles caught in pelts. Nonetheless, in she padded into the medicine cat's den, letting out a soft sigh as she attempted to push those thoughts to the back of her mind. After all, Caliapaw was her Clanmate, and she would always love each member of her beloved Clan. Perhaps it was time to give her a chance. Maybe...

"Caliapaw?" Emberwing called shortly after clearing her throat. She sincerely hoped she would be able to help - after all, it was a rather large gash on her side, and had been a couple days since the battle. Already the wound was starting to scab, and StarClan only knew if it had become infected in the time between the end of the battle and now. Not that Emberwing would've noticed. She was trained in the art of being a warrior, not a medicine cat. "Hopefully Caliapaw will have already been taught about infection. I'd hate for it to go unnoticed, if it is there," Emberwing murmured under her breath as her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the den. She couldn't quite tell if others of her Clanmates were present, but she wouldn't be surprised - after all, the aftermath of a battle was usually displayed best in the Clan's medicine cat's den.

Honeykit slicked her tail, settling down beside him. She cast her cloudy gaze off to the distant trees at the far side of the camp, merely blurred shapes in the distance. "I'm Honeykit. Are you a warrior?" She couldn't tell whether he was, but the deeper sound of his voice made her quite positive that he was. Nonetheless, one could never assume such a thing as age; it could be deceiving.

Bingo nodded,"That's a nice name," but then he laughed as she asked if he was a warrior,"Do I really seem that much older than I am?! I'm only a newly appointed apprentice," he twitched his whiskers, amused.

The young medicine cat padded out of the corner of the medicine cat’s den, sighing as she heard her name being called. Another patient from the battle… the seemingly never-ending stream had slowed, and almost stopped, thankfully - Caliapaw was glad that this was over now. This stupid feud with WindClan would be no more eventually, and the she cat couldn’t wait for that day. ”Battle injury?” She guessed, taking a look at the gash on Emberwing’s side. The she cat hadn’t come originally - or perhaps she had, it was hard for the feline to remember all the names and the faces they belonged to, some cats she hadn’t even bothered asking the names of - her brothers had come in, both of them, with reckless injuries - she wished there was something she could do to make these cats understand that what they were doing was stupid. But… she understood.

Sometimes fighting was necessary and she definitely wasn’t against it herself - if only she had been trained more. Caliapaw had only had about a moon of warrior training, so her battle skills were sloppy and her hunting skills were even worse. What a shame. ”I’m just going to treat it for infection real quick. To be on the safe side.” She couldn’t sense anything wrong at the moment, but it was better safe than sorry with infections - besides, it would just sting for a minute, rather than risking a lot more. Caliapaw wished she was shown more trust and respect within the Clan, but she knew both had to be earned - and as she already knew, she definitely hadn’t earned them yet.

She was nothing more than a semi-experienced apprentice in age, about ten moons old now, and it was strange for her to be in charge of the healing of the whole Clan. She wanted to talk to Snowstar - but the leader had not returned, and Caliapaw felt a little sorry. She’d liked the Siamese well enough, and now she was going to have to get used to the new leader and deputy… neither of which she really wanted to “get used to.” This wasn’t even to mention she hadn’t met any of the other medicine cats yet. She was the newbie, the inexperienced one, and of course she wouldn’t fit in with them… she already knew she wouldn’t. Caliapaw grabbed some marigold and began to chew, going through the familiar motions for the treatment.

At least this was one thing that wouldn’t change.

Honeykit smiled at his compliment. That was nice of him! As he laughed and replied to her question, a bud of embarrassment prickled into existence. How was she to know? "Oh..." she trailed off, unsure of what to say next. "Umm, do you, ya know, like training and stuff?"

Bingo tilted his head,"Well, I mean, who doesn't?" He smiled at her,"Are you excited to train Honeykit?" He asked the tiny she-kit politely, nodding his head.

Boulderdust glanced up at the roof of the den, starting to get lost in thought as he waited for Redpaw to finish up. "Kittypet's can definetly become warriors. You have totally shown me that." purred the elderly tom.

@Mayflower(we haven't really rp'd Boulderdust and Bumbleleap)
Boulderdust walked into the Thunderclan elders den, carrying a mouse in his jaws. He made his way over to his mate, setting down the freshly killed mouse in front of Bumbleleap. "I thought you might be hungry." meowed the elderly tom with a deep purr.

The smile was more subtle, but it was plastered on his maw, his golden eyes half lidded for a moment as he scoped the area. As he got farther, his pawsteps become much slower. And, the smile was replaced by a frown. For his eyes had met a...depressing sight, it seemed. A ginger and white tom was in a corner, his head down, but even though Passionblaze couldn't see his expression, the dark flames tom knew exactly what could be wrong. Well, he didn't know what the Tom was sulking about, but he knew a face like that, must be having a hard time. So, Passionblaze gingerly padded over, hoping that the noise of his heavy paws didn't disturb him. Albeit it must had! For...who was this..? Passionblaze squinted his eyes, getting a good look at his peer. He didn't know every name, like they knew his. Some, he seen around, many he knew from his own apprentices moons, so those name stuck in his name. "Harmony...blade," Passionblaze mutters softly, slowly to make sure he said the name right. Once he was confident enough, he offered a small smile to the Tom. "I'm doing fine, thank you for the courtesy." Passionblaze dipped his head. "Though, nevermind about me - what about you? You look more...sullen, like someone took the last of your favorite prey from the food pile," He joked, his ears flicked back, and he let out a short awkward laugh. Just s little to lighten the mood. "Is something bothering you?" To Passionblaze, there was more to being a deputy than carrying out orders. Though Passionblaze didn't want his new 'title' or 'rank' to make his clan mates feel belittled. As far as he knew, he was a regular cat within the clan, that also wanted to be a friend to all.

HarmonyBlade smiled awkwardly for a few moments. He stared at the dusty ground, rolling a stone between his paws as he tried to compose himself and gather his thoughts. "PassionBlaze, I want to ask for your advice, and honestly, some reassurance." The Tom began. "Do you have kits? Or family that you love?"
Oh no, will he think I'm being too personal? Am I making him uncomfortable?

He smirked,” Yeah. My family is pretty spread out...parents idling around the twoleg place, my older littermates are in Shadowclan and two of my littermates in Windclan, and then Pinkpaw and Purplepaw are here...only two clans my kin isn’t in Skyclan and Riverclan.” He replied kinda suprised he admitted he was a former kittypet.
