As Charcoalpaw addressed them with a surprised expression, Ashpaw let himself smile proudly and puffed out his chest to confirm that. He winced slightly as the apprentice joked about them being Riverclan; he and Frostshade hadn't been born on Thunderclan, and every time someone mentioned their origin he felt at unease. He clamped his jaws shut, trying to get rid of the pathetic doubt. Of course he wasn't born in Riverclan! But the rumors abut his kittypet origins still haunted him, even though he had managed to get the thought off his mind for a while.
Ashpaw lashed his tail and pointed at the fish that Flamepaw was still carrying, his own already on the ground. "Yes, we caught them. Flamepaw had learnt it first, and today she taught me as well. Each of us got one." He turned briefly to Bumbleflight, who was evidently trying to sneak away while the three apprentices talked, and invited him to join with a quick nod. "Do you want to try one?" he asked hopefully to Charcoalpaw.

Flamepaw puffed out her chest just like Ashpaw had done, looking quite pleased with herself and her friend's job well done at providing a bit of prey to the Clan even if it wasn't something she and her Clanmates typically ate.
Eh. Oh well, it's not like we're depriving RiverClan of prey.
"I'm not RiverClan in any way, hehe," she laughed it off. "My former temporary mentor taught me how to fish. She might have RiverClan blood in her, but I don't really care."
The she-cat ushered a fish to Charcoalpaw after Ashpaw had asked the younger tom if he wanted to try one, hoping that it would steer the conversation away from the actual hunt so that Ashpaw didn't stink of discomfort.
'You okay?' she mouthed, looking toward her gray tabby friend, looking slightly concerned. She didn't know of all the rumors that surrounded the tom, but she wouldn't care even if she did. ThunderClan was full of mixed blood these days. And Flamepaw had pure kittypet blood as far as she was aware.

A low growl rumbled through the lithe molly's chest as she glanced around the clearing; empty excluding herself, the cats who initially responded to the disturbance and a smattering of stragglers who watched from the sidelines. Her warriors deserved better than that.
She barely registered the small voice of Rainpaw next to her... Blinking herself back to the present and quieting the tired frustration that seemed to seep from her very bones, Sparrowstar turned towards the young apprentice with a softening look.
"I will be fine Rainpaw, however... The gesture is appreciated. " she started, tongue rasping over her jaws once again to clear off a bit more of the rusty stain. This wasn't a place for young hearts to be, and her own heart cracked just a bit more as she spotted Brightkit racing towards Cloudyflight to comfort her. She needed a task. A distraction to pull young paws away from the grisly scene. "Although, perhaps you could do me a small favor; the queens have discovered a small hole in the nursery walls. Do you think you could repair it, and keep any other kits from wandering out before these warriors are taken to Willow's Rise?"
That should be a decent job to keep the clearing as calm as she could. Stars know she didn't need another pawful of traumatized kits to crack before they even began their training. Turning to Rainpaw's sire, the Thunderclan leader lowered her voice.
"And Thrushfur. Could you collect another warrior and assist with moving the bodies to our grave site? Let Cloudyflight mourn for... As long as she needs, but they need to be buried before moonhigh."
He seemed a trustworthy enough cat to lead the task, and had a decent head on his shoulders. Hopefully their wouldn't be a third body added anytime soon.

Rainpaw was glad to hear that his leader was okay despite looking frustrated. The last cat he wanted to worry about was Sparrowstar, considering she's the leader of ThunderClan now. Well... that wasn't entirely true, the last cat Rainpaw would worry about is himself. His attention was then brought solely to Sparrowstar instead of all the other cats around. She wanted him to do a task!
"Yep!" he said quite cheerfully despite the sad atmosphere. "Right away, Sparrowstar!"
After finishing his sentence, Rainpaw dashed over to the camp walls and gathered some leaves, mud (in a bundle of leaves), and a couple of sticks before disappearing into the nursery. The rest of the conversation was now inaudible, so he turned all his attention to doing the task he was charged with: fixing the small hole the queens discovered.
