☘︎ Crap. Yet again, her apprentice disappeared. It hurt but it was nothing new. It almost feels normal to Pebblesplash at this point. She picks up a large minnow from the fresh kill pile, one she had caught a day prior, and carried it to her first business of her day; talking with Stormstar. Pebblesplash liked Stormstar. Not in a bestie sort of way, but in a way that she had full respect for the newest RiverClan leader. It seems the two might have some similar views and thus, Pebblesplash finds it easy to like the leader. The younger cats in RiverClan were surely growing mature nowadays. The she-cat enters the leaders den, minnow in her jaws.

☘︎ “Mornin’ Stormstar,” she chirps a bit, placing the minnow in front of her leader, “I have something quick to discuss with you, thought I’d bring you breakfast too, if nobody beat me to it…” Pebblesplash took a seat, tail curling over her paws. “As you may know, my apprentice went missing. I didn’t even get to interact with em’ at the meeting, as they just ignored me. After that, they disappeared. I don’t know to where but I’m hoping they’re okay…” Even though the cat clearly didn’t seem responsible enough to even be in a clan, Pebblesplash was still concerned. They were just a kid after all, and no kid deserved to experience pain or danger. “I’m a bit bummed about it. It’s always a little sad to lose a young one, you know…? But even so, even though I’m a bit sad, I want another apprentice as soon as possible,” she gave Stormstar a serious look.

☘︎ “There are so many young cats in this clan with mentors that don’t train them, and there are so many kits that deserve to have a mentor that treats them right the first time. I promise to dedicate myself to making sure the youth of RiverClan are properly trained…” She took a moment to pause, sighing softly. “I’m getting old. I know it. I’m not as seasoned as the other cats in RiverClan and as I get older, I’ll only be getting weaker. However, I know that I have experience that cats even 10 moons younger than me won’t have, and I want to teach it before I can’t teach anymore. That’s why I want an apprentice so badly, that’s why I want to train cats so badly,” she stood up shaking her fur. “I’ll be looking out for cats that aren’t being trained, and if you see an apprentice with a bad mentor, or a mentor that won’t train them right, I really hope that you’ll come find me so I can help out in whatever way is necessary.”

Stormstar - RiverClan Leader

Truthfully, the leader had been meaning to seek out Pebblesplash, but hearing her voice near her den made her tick that off her list of things to do. Turning her head with an annoyed glance as the warrior just waltzed in like the den belonged to her, Stormstar simply grunted at the offering. It would've been more well received if Pebblesplash had waited at the entrance and announced her arrival - there were only a pawful of cats that could just enter the den like that, and she certainly wasn't one of them.

"Sure," she replied as she leaned down to sniff at the fish before taking a small bite. She couldn't recall the last time she had actually eaten a full meal outside of a couple of bites. Her ears were angled forward, listening as Pebblesplash spoke. A shame about the 'paw, but if there was one thing being leader was quickly teaching Stormstar, it was that crying over every cat that went missing was futile. It happened too often, and she couldn't allow herself to get too attached - though it always hurt. Always.

And then the request. Stormstar couldn't stop the way her eyes widened, surprise glistening in them as they landed on Pebblesplash. She was joking... right? She had to be. "...Please tell me you're jokin'." Swallowing the second bite that was in her mouth, the leader stared at the warrior ahead of her. "You've done nothin' but sit on your tail ever since my brother let you back into this Clan. In the mountains you did nothin', 'n so far I haven't seen you go out of your way to train any 'paw. I gave you Shorepaw in the hopes that you'd step it up, but even if they went missin' you still could've worked to train other 'paws - 'n you didn't."

With the tip of her tail tapping against the ground, the leader shook her head. "'Ve been meanin' to come talk to you. You made a whole bunch of promises upon bein' let back into this Clan, 'n not once have you upheld them. So no, I won't be lookin' for you if I have a 'paw in trainin', I'll be lookin' for the cats who actually are helpin'." By the time she finished her eyes were narrowed, disappointment flashing in them. "'N now that we've gotten that out of the way, there is one thing I've wanted to speak to you about. If you keep continuin' to lounge around, not do anythin' to support this Clan you claim to love so much, I'll drag you out of here by your ears. You did nothin' of merit before you went 'n disappeared, 'n you've done nothin' of merit since." A scoff as Stormstar stood and stretched. "Comin' to ask me for a 'paw when you haven't done so much as train a kit since you've been back. Please."

[ disclaimer for all: IC does not equal OOC. please do not take stormstar's words as a reflection of my opinions (i beg). every time i post her having to discipline a cat i feel the need to write this since people keep taking IC personally ;w; ]
