Their scent couldn't be detected anywhere around camp, and though the leader had gone searching for them the first few days of being back, he also knew he couldn't be out of camp too long with how fragile the Clan's trust was in him now.

In the midst of his self-pity, the gray tabby managed to pull himself out of his own head as he spotted a rather late warrior. With a grin he trotted over to Plumstorm, nodding to her. Since their conversation at the border, he felt a little more comfortable around her. "I did, did I?" he replied, having caught her words. A cocky smirk appeared on his face as he surveyed the scene with yellow eyes once more. Everyone appeared to be having a good time - or at least were curious about the water. "Don't you want to take a dip? It might be a nice distraction from those," he mentioned, pointing a nose to the marks that were already in the healing process.

Slowly circling the hot springs proved to be a little tougher than she thought, and the shield was hardly even half-way around the edges when the leader approaches. He looked quite happy today, trotting and smiling and waving his tail feathers for everyone. Plumstorm looks up at him and chuckles. She'd have shrugged, if Yarrowshade hadn't scored her claws there during their skirmish. Tail curling over into a wide arc, the silver cat hums. "Hmmmm."

It was the best she could do to possibly keep the guy on his toes. "Take a dip?" his question made sense, obviously, but still took her off-guard. Glancing at the water and watching the steam unfurl from the surface, Plumstorm's lips tighten into a straight line. "I don't..." What, was she supposed to admit to her leader that she didn't like water? RiverClan shield hates the feel of water? "I was told not to swim until I heal a little more," Plumstorm finally says with a swallow, looking at Kestrelstar again. "Medicine cat's orders, yup. No need to ask Snakeheart or anything though- He looks like he's having fun." Believe me, believe me, believe me.

"Too bad" She said, pouncing at him. She hoped to pin him down, so she could say, 'Well, it seems the mighty Ivypaw has won against the not-so-mighty Bramblepaw'

Falling under the water he gluped coming back up. "Suprise attack? Good job!" he meowed.

She grinned at him. @Mr.Cheese

HE smiled back. Purring he meowed "How do you think Kestrelstar won this place?" he meowed

a small brown ginger shape slid through that shadows as a short fluffy tom poked his head around a corner. Dull blue eyes gazed at the hot springs in wonder, then as if time turned back on itself as he stepped out from the shadows. His bobbed tail flicked back and forth in nervous anticipation as Fawnspring took a few more hesitant steps forward bringing him up to the waters edge. Peering down at his reflection in the steaming warm water the short molly smiled happily as he darted a paw out and splashed the surface creating ripples that warped his reflection. To him this peaceful place was like wonderland but there where many dangers to this place as well. Chasing off his dark thoughts with barred fangs in his mind he happily walked around pleased to see his clan mates playing around.

His eyes trailed every pelt every face every shadow looking for his friend. Would he even be there no one knew it was up to wormbite to come. Even if his friend wasn’t here he would sure make the best of it that was certain. The warm air was surly different from the cool breeze he felt before but his long fur didn’t go well with the humid air floating around him. With a pleased smile he walked over towards a shadowed dip slightly away from where everyone else seamed to enjoy themselves. As he lay himself down his mind was filled with the images of wormbite his only true friend he could count on. From his gentle smile to his soothing voice Fawnspring just couldn’t get the tom out of his mind.

Some time had passed when he reopened his eyes, he was positive he had been away but he must have dozed off. Blinking awake, he yawned then got up to stretch his stiffening muscles before taking one last glance around. He was fairly certain that wormbite would love this place, maybe he could bring him here one night and stay up telling joes and stories with each other. It was days like those that kept the young tom happy most of the time at least. He let his paws carry him up the cliff careful not to dislodge any rocks on his way up, as he finally made it to the top. A breeze blew through his long fur causing it to fluff out making him look like a small cotton ball.

{Maplepaw}

Relaxing in the warm pool felt great, she might've just slept there unless another apprentice bumped into her. She looked to the other cat, ears perked. "Oh, I'm Maplepaw! I've been in Riverclan for only a bit, but, you are?" She quirked her brow curiously, she hadn't seemed to meet this other apprentice before, but that wasn't much of a suprise. She hadn't completely dedicated herself to learning about the other apprentices.

HA! HAHAHAHA! She got Sunsetbloom, she got her GOOD! Irrationally pleased to see the large molly shaking out her fur, flinging droplets everywhere, Splashleap chuckled at the 'haughty' challenge. Do not tempt me further to do so, for if you are not careful I will return with the full might of the fish! she huffed, treading water near the center of the pool. And now, to make good on her promise! As the droplets splattered on her nose she turned tail, swimming in the direction of a face that looked up for a battle.

Ryebelly! We have an issue! she called, hoping that her genial tone would prevent any real alarm from being spread. An evil giant has taken part of the pool, and we must defeat her! Want to help? Splashleap explained, deciding that it would be much more fun to stick to the little story they were fast constructing than explaining what was ACTUALLY going on. Look, she launches another attack even now! she cried, as another volley of water droplets pattered against her nose, before turning to swim back towards the 'battlefield'. Hopefully Ryebelly would join in the battle, because she was badly outsized!

But that was no excuse not to dunk the massive golden molly, especially with the cheers from Kestrelstar who seemed to be having just as good of a time as she was. Paddling swiftly back to Sunsetbloom, Splashleap slapped a paw against the water. Which backfired quickly as the splash went in all directions, including straight back into her face! NOT ideal! Huffing with annoyance, she tried again, this time managing to direct the splash in the general direction of her opponent with a slightly angled paw. THIS was better! @Rani @vcrdant

Ryebelly jerked his head up, a playful gleam in his eye. He let out a small chuckle, paddling forward in the water alongside Splashleap. “Yeah!! Let’s show ‘em who’s boss!” The young warrior’s heart pounded with excitement and energy. After moons of stress and crazy events, he finally had the chance to simply let loose and be himself. Of course, he nearly always acted like a kit, but this time felt more... normal. Everyone was acting a bit immature, so he didn’t have to be embarrassed or worried about what others thought of his manner. Upon reaching Sunsetbloom, the tom did his best fake hiss that he could, and slammed his paw forward with an outstretched forepaw, sending a splash to the opponent.

*Bearspot*

"Yeah Plumstorm's right." Bearspot meowed with a nod, still knee-deep in the warm water, "She still needs to heal, and I'm pretty sure with all of these cats in the water that there might be some dirt and foliage that you defiantly don't want in your still healing scars."

He dipped his head back into the water, enjoying the warm feeling around his muzzle. It was also a way to hide his smirk from Kestrelstar, hoping that he had believed him and Plumstorm. He understood the conundrum that Plumstorm was having from personal experience. It's horrible to be humiliated in front of a cat you look up to.

(If you couldn't tell already, Bearspot is lowkey trying to make up for the event that happened at the last gathering.)
