Ah, this was one of the outsiders that Splashleap had brought in while he had been gone - Bramblepaw. While he had been part of the Clan for awhile, Kestrelstar had only just announced him as an apprentice at the last meeting. ”Not training you?” he questioned, head tipping to the side. That was disheartening and frustrating to hear. He had assigned... ah yes, Skysplash. He’d have to speak with her later about why Bramblepaw hadn’t been trained.

”Very well. You’re much newer than the other apprentices so we can’t afford to have you fall behind on your training,” Kestrelstar continued, scooting his dinner to the side for now and standing up. Going through the list of warriors, one particular warrior came to mind. Something about the tom made the leader questioned if he actually liked Kestrelstar at all, but personal feelings aside he was a good warrior who hadn’t done anything yet to create feeling of distrust.

Giving a nod to Bramblepaw, Kestrelstar strode past him to stand at the entrance of his den, yellow eyes sweeping across the camp clearing. ”Floodfrost! Come here for a moment.”

"Oh you saw it.", she meowed. She had kind of forgot that she had dropped it off while he was missing. It now all came back to her. Of course! The molly was a bit surprised at the thanks though, but didn't want yo mention it. It was a bit awkward.

Petuniapaw loomed at her leg. Was it that bad? She didn't think it was which is why she was here instead of there. Snakeheart scared her a little. "Oh I was just about to head over there. I just needed to talk to you first about a cat.", she meowed. It was really important to her.

Inquisitive yellow eyes peered closer at Petuniapaw. Something about her definitely seemed changed. More... grown up. Each passing day the young molly reminded Kestrelstar more of her aunt who had been a casualty in the past war with ThunderClan. Petuniaflame had been one of the first cats to see past the dense armor that he had worn as a warrior... he hoped that she had found peace and that the stars had welcomed her.

”And who would this be?” the gray tabby questioned as the tip of his tail flopped back and forth beside him. Was it someone in the Clan? A cat she had met outside the camp walls on whatever journey she had been on? RiverClan could always use more bodies...

Sat who was Floodfrost? He barely even knew his own new name.

Was there just a cat? No there were two cats she wanted to talk about. First Flyfur the nice elder cat who had showed hee two-leg place and whatever that one cats name is. The one that said he had fought against Kestrelstar at the battle. She wanted to know what truly happened there. And maybe just maybe see if they could try to rejoin.

"There are actually two cats. One her name was Flyfur. She said she was a former Riverclan queen and warrior. She helped me to find two-leg place to look for you. I told her I'd talk to you for a spot if she ever tries to come back. She probably wouldn't come back, but I promised her I'd talk to you for if she ever changed her mind.", meowed Petuniapaw. She'd get to the former apprentice next. Right now she wanted to focus on just the one.

Floodfrost He/Him

Keeping his pelt clean was task he liked to repeat often but he was just getting done with it as he heard his name being yelled through the camp. Making a small mental comment before getting up What does angry bird need now Floodfrost let out a slight sigh and got up,walking into the den to see Kestrelstar and achild right next to him. What do you need sir? Flood gave in a unsurprised tone and kept his face neutral. lashing his tail once Flood turned to look at the app in front of his face. Hello Bramblepaw,I'm going to guess i'm his new mentor or something like that,sir?

An apprentice? But why now,he was just 6 moons older than when he got to become a warrior,at 14 moons. He never dared to giv either of them,mainly Kestrelstar any sign of his emotions or feelings. Welp,Nice to meet you Bramblepaw,I have no clue what I'm gonna be doing here anyways so lets get this river flowing.

While Kestrelstar demanded a certain level of respect, the 'sir' reminded him too much of Petuniaflame and her polite way of speaking. Memories of the white and orange warrior danced through his mind briefly, though yellow eyes were devoid of any hint to them.

Brushing it off, the gray tabby gave a nod. "He recently joined our Clan and I don't believe he's had any training yet. Make sure to show him around the territory, where the borders are. Be careful near the ShadowClan border - you know how Dawnstar is with the loose leash she keeps on her warriors." A snort. "If you have any questions about how to train an apprentice," the leader added, yellow eyes narrowing slightly as Floodfrost admitted to not knowing what to do - was this the right choice in mentor? - "let me know and I can supervise a training session or two."

Turning to Bramblepaw now, Kestrelstar gestured with his head towards Floodfrost. "Floodfrost will be your new mentor. I'll speak with Skysplash to figure out why she didn't train you. In the meantime, you two better get stared as soon as you can. Is there anything else either of you need?"

Although he didn't remember the former queen too well, Kestrelstar was aware of the name. It was one he'd heard spoken of, though she had been long since missing when he took over RiverClan's leadership. "Of course, any cat that wasn't exiled for a good reason is always welcome to return to RiverClan, so long as they pledge their loyalty to us." He gave a nod at that, then fell silent once more as his head tipped to the side, wondering who the next cat was.

~Stormfur and Dewfur~

Stormfur and Dewfur both waited outside the den as the two good friends were waiting the meowed together. "Kestrelstar!" Stormfur felt his fur go hot he was doing a bad choice his friend did need an apprentice for her own. The two warriors looked at each other. Would Ivypaw be in good hands?

@spooky spade

Sleep was beginning to become few and far in between, what with how much time Kestrelstar was spending at his mother's grave. A constant state of exhaustion seemed to creep its way into him, parting his jaws in a yawn as two voices were heard in unison, yowling for him. Flattening his ears against his head, the RiverClan leader lifted himself from his nest and stretched each leg in turn before padding forward. "Come in," he called, beginning to groom a patch of fur on his shoulder as he waited for the two warriors outside to come in.

- - - - - -

After having finished a small trout - his dinner for the evening - Kestrelstar swiped his tongue across his maw and stood up, arching his back in a huge stretch. As much as he wanted to simply lay down in his own nest and attempt to sleep, a thought had been weighing heavily on him for a couple days. Irritated, annoyed, though he would try to not let it show - at least for now.

Padding forward to the entrance of his den, yellow eyes scanned the clearing for the cat he was looking for. "Skysplash, if you've got a moment," he called for the warrior, beckoning for her to follow him into his den as he turned to disappear back inside.

Skysplash opened her eyes, her tongue still on her paw from washing. "O... okay, Kestrelstar!" she stammered, letting her pelt stay ruffled as she exited the welcoming shade of the warriors den and entered the den of Riverclan's leader. "You requested me?"
@spooky spade

[plum]

Kestrelstar could kiss her ass.

Or demote her.

Or, he would be sensible!!!! Yeah. Sensible!

Plumstorm took a very brief break between Snakeheart's den and this one, to cough and sneeze and maybe cry a little bit (who's to judge?) but her respite couldn't be long. Kestrelstar was MIA and she didn't want to risk taking too long. So, she hauled her last five cattails in to his den with urgency.

The warrior didn't marvel at being in the leader's den. There was no awed looks, no weird "i'm gonna sit here and pretend to be leader" some cats might have done. She'd been here before, when Lionstorm dwelled within. She knew what it was like, and had no desire to play make believe.

She knew what Hell was like after first experiencing the cattail before, in the medicine den. She knew what to expect.

That didn't mean it was easier.

Chomping down was like signing her own death warrant all over again, but she had to keep on going. She had to be strong.

Their lives were on the line!

And soon, Kestrelstar's den looked like the same dreamscape Hell that Snakeheart's dwelling had turned into. Except this was worst because the den was a little smaller and less.... big... Yeah, Plumstorm. That's right. Smaller, less big.

After all five cattails are again exhausted, she hops through the cloudy wall of fuzz and makes her escape, sneezing on the way to freedom.

@spooky spade

Seeing that Skysplash had come at his request, Kestrelstar motioned with his paw for her to take a seat. ”I spoke with Bramblepaw the other day - and he came with the request of switching mentors. He didn’t elaborate much, but stated that you hadn’t been training him. Care to tell me what’s been going on?” For now, the leader would withhold judgement. Bramblepaw was new to the Clan, didn’t quite understand how things worked yet. Perhaps there had been a misunderstanding - something that would also need to get worked out.
