Rainkit hadn't noticed the purr rumbling in his throat until after it became audible but he wasn't too quick to silence himself. "It's ok, I'm sure whatever it was was just too scared to face us." There was a flicker of amusement in his eyes along with actual pride, resorting to his juvenile kitten personality. As usual his ears went back to being perked as he scoped the wide moors. Rainkit picked his pace up into a trot when he realized Heartkit was eager to get back to camp. The tom was also eager to get back, anxious to see if anything important had happened while the two were gone. I hope she doesn't get in trouble... He flicked her shoulder with his tail like he had done just before they left, "I think we're close to the camp, this way looks familiar. Smell Windclan?" He asked staring at her with wonder and anticipation.

(For Patroclus)
Lilypelt froze and stopped rummaging through the pile as she heard another voice. She looked up and saw Redtooth standing beside her. She stared at Redtooth for a moment before snapping back into reality and remembering what Redtooth had just ask her. Lilypelt a gave a small nod, looking down at her paws. She didn't like talking to other cats. Well, more or less she was scared of it. Since it was also Redtooth she was talking to, things didn't get any better. She hadn't really seen that much of Redtooth before but taking a good look at her, Lilypelt noticed she had seen her a few times before. She was quite sure Redtooth wasn't the nicest cat on earth by what she had seen in her scans around the camp. Though maybe if you got to know her things got better? Who knows...... Anyway, Lilypelt nosed through the fresh kill pile again, making sure to not make eye contact with Redtooth. The older she cat seemed rather intimidating in Lilypelts opinion. Don't make eye contact with the scary cat Lilypelt, Lilypelt reminded herself in her mind. Obviously she wouldn't say it out loud, that'd just be embarrasing! As Lilypelt looked around she noticed her rabbit lying beside the fresh kill pile. It must've tumbled down, she thought. With that she bent down and picked it up, her mouth watering at the scent of the plump rabbit. She straightened up, the rabbit dangling from her jaws though she didn't move.

Shaking herself, sending small particles of dirt this way and that, Adderkit decided to swivel her head and survey the clearing with a quiet huff, her tail twitching and flicking, it almost appeared as if she had ADD and couldn't quite sit still in one place for long, it was impressive actually, that she had stayed still for that long just to talk with Pinekit. "Oh sure, I'd love to do something, anything!" Meowed the kit quickly, looking back to Pinekit with wide eyes, forgetting all of her thoughts about him, she was just desperate to do something now, nothing else really mattered. Kneading the ground restlessly, she began to think of things that they could perhaps do, most of the time she was stuck doing the same things over and over, being 6 moons old, she had done and explored just about anything and everything a kit could, there was nothing new left to do, and sure it didn't exactly bother her, but she thought about it sometimes. "Yeah me too, but I'm also excited about hunting because then everyone could be happy and well-fed and they'll know that I did it!" Saying this, she almost seemed to puff out her chest in pride, a tiny purr rumbling through her as she thought about cats thanking her for the food she provided, perhaps some recognition, not much, but something that got her name around the camp. Like bringing home the biggest rabbit.. Or maybe even a hawk! Blinking, she shook her head a bit and looked back at Pinekit with a grin. Though that grin faltered a bit at the next question he asked, her head tilting a bit and her eyes dawning a confused look in them. "Gone outside the camp..? Well of course not, I'm not allowed to, and well, neither are you! You haven't.. Gone outside the camp have you?" She said, narrowing her eyes at him, despite wanting her name known, Adderkit most definitely did not want to associate herself with rule-breaking cats and didn't want to be one either, because she knew it would put her at risk for having to wait even longer to become an apprentice. Should he say that he has snuck outside the camp, she would immediately want to break any sort of connection with him, she will not be friends with a rule-breaker. Wrinkling her nose, she eyed him carefully, waiting for that answer that would determine if she would continue to associate with him or not.

As his eyes looked up to track the wispy clouds of the sky above, her yellow eyes remained glued to him, her thoughts begin to swirl again about how this kit is not to be trusted, that something seemed off about him; when Pinekit swatted at the clouds, another look of confusion passed over her, but she didn't say anything, it was a strange action, but nothing to really cause her to accuse him of anything. Shifting her weight a bit, she licked her lips, beginning a quiver a bit, energy building up inside of her as it usually did when she just stood around like this.

He grunted. "Im here." He muttered, trying to not look too embaressed from his failed attempt to pounce on her. Getting up, he lashed out a sheathed paw at her chest aiming for her fluffy chest fur. He really needed to practice his pounces more.

Crestpaw's ear flicked subconsciously as she heard a low growl. Before she could process the sound, however, a large mass slammed into the ground beside her. The apprentice jumped with a surprised mew and fluffed up her fur before realizing that she recognized the tan fur beside her. Flattening her fur, Crestpaw looked at Soaringcrane questioningly as he muttered that he was there. The she-cat was not prepared when he lashed out a paw, and the blow hit her square in the chest, knocking the wind out of her. Coughing, Crestpaw regained her composure and glared at Soaringcrane, crouching down and flicking her tail back and forth across the ground like a snake. The tortoiseshell hissed and sprang at her mentor, all four paws extended towards his face.

Soaringcrane was taken back by how fierce she looked. In fact so shocked that he was caught off guard and let her pounce at his face. Her paws slamed into his muzzle, making the poor tom bite his tongue and draw blood from it. That awoke him from his senses. He flailed, his paws waving wildly in the air like stalks of rye on a particularly windy day. Shes beautiful as she is dangerous He thought dreamily to himself.

Crestpaw was honestly a bit surprised that Soaringcrane didn't stop her from slamming into his face, but she didn't let her surprise cloud her thoughts. After she hit his face, Crestpaw landed neatly to the side behind him and turned on her paws. She laughed for a second at Soaringcrane's flailing paws before one of them struck her and she went down. The apprentice landed on a sharp stone, cutting her flank. She hissed in pain but forced herself to her paws. Blinking, Crestpaw gasped at the blood trickling from Soaringcrane's mouth and stayed where she was, foolishly leaving herself open for attack in her surprise at Soaringcrane's injury.
