Beechkit
Roused from a dream where he had just been about to sink his tiny claws into an even tinier mouse, Beechkit groggily lifted his head. Blue eyes blinking away sleep they struggled to focus on the world around him. Bright, dazzling, beautiful... the nursery seemed large as ever, and the young tom felt struck with a sudden sense of wonderment. This was his home! ThunderClan was his home!

A smile softened his features before jaws parted in a yawn to reveal tiny white teeth. He couldn't sense his mother nearby, so the young tom scrambled out from the captivity of moss, landing with an 'oof!' onto his paws. "That hurt..." he whined, rubbing his head with one paw while the other attempted to steady him. Chagrin heated his cheeks as he prayed to StarClan no one had seen his tumble.

CrowKit smiled as the watched the young cat stumble out of its nesting. It wasnt too long ago that he was in the same spot, trying to figure out where he was and a bit too clumsy to move gracefully.
CrowKit carefully removed himself from his new friend, a queen named ClearLight, and aproach the young kit.
As CrowKit approached, he realized just how much hes geown in the last couple of moons. This young kit was so small compared to him.
uhh.... CrowKit began hesitantly, H-hi there. Im CrowKit. Whats your name?
{CrowKit is a very large Kitten, with black and grey fur. His most defining features is his bright amber eyes}
(Howdy! Im still pretty new to this site and RP'ing too. Welcome to the site )

He blinked his eyes with surprise at the tom's rude comments. Perhaps he had bothered him at the wrong time. He thought about whether he should be insulted or scared. The insults didn't really faze him he heard worse from his mother. There was a hint of annoyance in the toms voice ask he glared at them. Could he possibly be annoyed that he was trying to be friendly? He stared at the ground with nervousness and started kneading it out of habit. I'll just make a tactical retreat then see if he wants to talk at a later time... Oh but I wonder if he's gotten a tour of camp yet! "Oh well, I just wanted to say hello! Who did you get as your mentor?" Silkheart hoped he wasn't being too nosey. He threw a glance at Halfbite wondering how he would respond to the new tom's comments. Am I that short?!

HALFBITE

Halfbite frowned, distaste written all over his maw. Alright then. he thought, taken aback as the words flew out of Vulturefang's muzzle. He blinked a few times before parting his jaw to speak. "I'm Halbite." he said bluntly, stepping forward to meet Silkheart's side. As he did so, he caught the tom's nervous gaze, and offered a slight smile in response. Looking back to Vulturefang. he begun to size him up, making a mental note of his attitude. Instead of responding with any hostility, Halfbite continued to gaze quietly at the stranger, his ear flicking impatiently while he waited for a response to Silkheart's inquiry.

Rootspark took a deep breath. Alright. Alright! Double training. He was ready. Hopefully. "Thrushpaw! Vulturefang!" he called. He didn't really know what Vulturefang knew about being a clan cat, so he couldn't really make strict plans. With a little luck, he could train both of them at once.

On the positive side he was probably much more skilled than this 'Thrush'paw'. But then again, only time would tell.

The gray tom padded up to Rootspark, his mentor, not wanting to look at Vulturefang. ``Well? When will we start?`` He asked bluntly, his eyes dull. He liked being the only apprentice of Rootspark, now this rouge? Well, he couldn't say much. His father was a rouge, but he shook that thought out of his head.

Bogkit | he/him | @Green beans

The small kitten grumbled quietly to himself as he tottered into the den, his body low to the ground and his head hanging. Large dark backs were under his eyes, with shone out from his fur like small beacons. The nursery was way too loud for his liking, especially now. The elders den was probably the quietest in camp, so he logically chose to go there to get some sleep instead. He huffed, immediately collapsing into a nest and curling up, covering his nose with his long tail. Just before he was about to close his eyes he noticed Cherrybramble, the only elder currently in the den. "Tell me a story" he flatly mewed, his voice monotone.

Houndpaw couldn't help but snicker at Lionsmoke's theatrics. "Oh, dear. You were named after your fur." She mocked him playfully, glad to have such a warm, good-natured mentor. He was smart and funny, but not in that stupid, over the top way that she absolutely detested with all her soul. "Reinforcing my earlier statement, Lionsmoke is like, the coolest name. Except for mine, obviously." She added that last part on a whim, unable to allow him the small victory of her denouncing herself in his gain. Not that his goals or amusement were drawn from the suffering of others, but still. She wouldn't do that to Rainypaw, so she refused to do it to herself!

Shallowshiver | she/her | @littlelove

The large she-cat stepped out of the warriors den, a small yawn leaving her. How late in the day was it? It was definitely before sunhigh, so at least she hadn't slept in too much. Stretching out her limbs one by one to rid them of their soreness, she popped her neck and shoulders before continuing on. What should she do today? It's not like she really had an apprentice to train. Huffing lightly to herself, she sat down in the shade and began grooming her thick fur. Maybe she could take her daughter out training? They hadn't been all that close, sadly, so she wanted to at least try to mend their frankly patchy relationship.

As Shallowshiver finished grooming herself, she got up and started glancing around the clearing in search of Cinderpaw, seeking out the familiar grey pelt. The mollies large ears perked slightly as she picked out the smaller she-cat from the rest of the clan. She...didn't seem to be doing anything important, so Shallowshiver decided to pad over. Its not like she would really be interrupting anything. Clearing her throat, she tapped the apprentice on the shoulder and offered a warm look, "Cinderpaw, do you have any training plans today?" she asked, her gruff voice slightly more gentle than usual.

"Sorry, Vulturefang," Rootspark said, seeing him look upset. "I didn't want to be so strict with your 'training', but I wanted to do the first lesson with both of you." He looked to Thrushpaw. "That's the thing, Thrushpaw. I don't know how much Vulturefang already knows about clan life, so I couldn't really make plans." Looking back to Vulturefang, he added, "So I figured you'd know what you're lacking in. And even though I think a border patrol would be best, I haven't really asked to be in one yet. I didn't want to surprise you. So, what do you think, Vulturefang? Hunting or fighting? I think Thrushpaw needs both, so it's your call."

Secretly, Rootspark hoped that he wouldn't choose hunting. He couldn't hunt the way that they needed to learn, so it would be hard to organize that. He would have to find another cat to help train them…

My favorite subject.. he thought to himself, awkwardly shifting his paws. Thought it was hard to see underneath his fur, a watchful eye could see that his claws did not retract all the way.
Rootspark laid down, curling his paws underneath him. His fur was so long, it made him look as if he was laying a puddle. Rest assured, when leaf-bare came, he'd never be cold.

Larkstorm looked at him with worry. “Well, does Icicleripple know?” She asked. She was worried for her friend’s well-being. It couldn’t be healthy to have such long claws. “I’m sure she could help you.” Larkstorm also noticed he tucked his paw underneath him, almost as if he was hiding something. Strange.

Cinderpaw's ear perked at her name being called. It seemed that Tawnybird had finally admitted to himself that he was a coward and deserted the clan, huh? Good. She wouldn't have to deal with him or Bumblepaw anymore. Even if Bumblepaw really wasn't tha--

Ah, again?

Cinderpaw found herself not as angry as she assumed she would be as she was reassigned along with Bumblepaw to Dripberry. That perplexed her; weren't they enemies? Wasn't she supposed to hate him? The fact that she couldn't find it in her heart to be enraged was odd, but there were more important things to think about right now.

She padded over to Dripberry, who almost seemed more ecstatic than them to have two apprentices. Keyword, almost; Cinderpaw would outclass him soon enough. The fact that she could finally start her training set her excitement off. "You're that Dripberry guy, right?! When are we gonna start our training?! Ooooh, I'm so excited, are we gonna go out to fight? I wanna go and learn some battle moves so I can whack Bumblepaw on the head better!"

small footsteps caused cherrybramble to raise her head from her slumber in the elders den. Blinking a few times she realized a kit was in the den the bags beneath his eyes where proof that the nursery was as loud as ever. As she watched him totter to a nest and collapse inside wrapping his tail around his nose before huffing that he wanted a story. A small smile stretched across her face as she rose and stretched before settling down once again. Very well young one, but after my story you must gets some sleep feel free to come in here and get rest anytime you please. she croaked. Lifting her hairless tail she wrapped it gently around her slightly twisted foot, her eyes seamed to darken as she began on her story. The day had started off with a little breeze that carried the scents of the forest right into the center of camp I remember it like it was yesterday. a rusty purr rumbled from her chest as she gazed into the distance I was a young warrior back then quite agile and strong plus I had fur on my tail her hairless tail flicked back and forth at her side as she continued on as I wasn’t doing patrols that day so I decided to go hunting and hunt I did. I caught a crow and a few mice but I wasn’t going to stop there for I had caught scent of a rogue on thunderclan territory. I followed the trail leading me to the two leg place. The nosy cat was eating thunderclan prey when I found him and I wasn’t going to let him get away with it either she huffed I taught him a lesson but at a cost I shredded his ears and left some nasty scars on him but in return my tail got to close to a large metal thing with fire in it and my tail caught. It was painful but luckily there was a puddle beside their house so I was able to put it out the only problem was my tail didn’t have any fur and it never grew back. she sighed shaking her head. Once you get some sleep if you’d like I’d tell you another story. she gently pushed some feathers into the small kits nest trying to make it comfortable for her little companion in the elders den.
