Maybe it's time for whatever God that exists to take him. His time was coming, surely. He couldn't put up with the absolute lawlessness that was his Clan. He's killed, and maimed for them. Yet here they were, climbing all over him, pulling his tail. At least one seemed intimidated by him. Something he found a little amusing he'd keep them in mind.

Reaching over to bap Mudhound on the head as they scuttered past in an attempt to escape. A thought to huck a iceball at him strong. Until it felt as though he was being stabbed by little kitten claws. Lo and behold he was. A certain barnacle of the leader's clambering up his limbs, if he were a monkey, Spiderthroat would be nothing more than the vines that hung from the trees.

Letting out a grunt as the air got pushed out of him, the Apprentice deciding to latch on much to the older toms dismay. Gently, the deputy had to remind himself that murder was wrong, especially killing a kit. Naturally he would have gone for the parent's instead, but this leader is decent so far and he doesn't even know anything else about the squirt.

"Lookin for somethin or are you just here to be a nuisance?" he hummed, his chin resting on the lip of the den, letting his limbs droop off the sides. Sending the one Warrior laying directly beneath him a squinted look. Doing his best to seem as though he was judging them. He wasn't. But he was bored.

It seemed that Mudhound didn't care nearly as much about potentially getting eaten by their clan's deputy. The small grey warrior's eyes widened in horror as the goofy tripod gleefully yanked on Spiderthroats tail before racing past them out of the den and receiving a bap on the head for his efforts. Clearly they had some sort of death wish; who would even attempt something like that if they didn't?!?!

Hearing Spiderthroat's humming comment, Mistheart's ears flicked back flat against her head before carefully glancing up to see if it was meant to be directed at them... which was clearly a mistake.

Bumblestar's apprentice seemed to be latched onto the older tom's back like a leech, and she was met with a judging look from the deputy that seemed to convey that the black and white cat was about to decide on whether or not she could keep her ears (or some other life and death sentencing). Shrinking a bit further into her condensed loaf form, the grey molly quickly turned her face back towards Bumblestar and attempted to ignore the prickling of her fur on the back of her neck where she assumed his gaze continued to lay.

[ @Rani I adore Mudhound with every fiber of my being lmao ]

Dad was here, uh oh. Elkkit stopped his flailing as he and Mushroompaw were approached, and then Mushroompaw set him down. He teetered on his paws to catch his balance. Redhawk's offer was tempting... but he didn't really feel like getting in trouble right now.

He shot Redhawk an apologetic frown and scooted over to Lioncrest, stick abandoned.

At least his rambunctious son didn't seem to have a streak of rebellion mixed into his energetic nature. Giving Redhawk a small smile and a nod in return, Lioncrest settled onto his haunches next to Elkkit and moved his amber gaze across the cats that had gathered for Bumblestar's summons. He paid no heed to the frightened look that came from Mushroompaw (he was quite pleased with himself for scaring off the apprentice who was hauling around his son like a bundle of moss with only a look), but he did spot another one of his sons closer to the front of the crowd. They seemed to be behaving themselves, and perhaps making a new friend, but he'd keep an eye on them in case they decided to change that.

Fluffy tail flicked over to rest behind Elkkit as the golden tom listened to their leader's announcements and rumbled out the traditional calling of the new apprentice's names. More apprentices were always a welcome thing, and he looked forward to his kits reaching that age. Perhaps he would be allowed to mentor some of them himself, but whomever they were assigned to he would ensure that he also had a paw in their training.

"Soon that will be you up there," he hummed towards Elkkit, turning a glance his way. "Games are all well and good, but to become a truly impressive member of this clan you will need to work hard and prove your worth. I am certain you can channel your energy into much more productive tasks than attacking clanmates with a stick during meetings, hmmm? Perhaps, instead of surprising cats with a smack to the ankles you could improve your hunting crouch; it would be easier to surprise them, and you would also be more prepared for your apprenticeship."
