"I know, I know, you have nothing more to say so you repeat yourself, for you've said I'm dumb... how many times now? I think I get the point. Sadly, I'm not deaf, so I am burdened with the curse of listening to your gibberish, but then again, so is everybody else." He shrugged, licking one paw to draw it behind his ear. "Disappointing, really. No matter how many times I have to tell you, a small, and simple 'no' to your ignorantly stupid question, you just keep blabbering on." Sighing, he shook his head. "And I thought you were just another, respectful warrior, but clearly not." He said blatantly, wondering when his opponent was going to catch the hint that he was despising him and every cell in his body, for it was taking all his energy just to not snap his neck, right then and there.

His stomach gave a growl, notifying him that this mini spar was useless and he should probably go eat something. Smiling to himself, he gave a small step back, hoping to avoid the angry fire of his idiotic associate.

"Ha! Oh well, great talking with you. I retreat for now, as this is pointless, but heed this. I won. Look how close you are to attempting to absolutely ruin me. You are practically shaking. Good day, and thanks for being ever so entertaining."

Ravenkit stared, embarrassed then confused, Twilightstar looked… thoughtful, forgiving-- not the hard looks she usually gave kits. He bushed out his fur, about to go into non-stop apology mode before she asked him a question, "What happened, are you okay?" the question seemed surprising and strange, even if he had been asked it so much, it was coming from his leader, which just made it oddly strange. He wanted to shake his head, wanted to tell her that he wasn't okay because he was scared, and he had so many insecurities, but that wasn't Twilightstar's problem, and he couldn't say he was scared, he'd sound like a coward.

It didn't matter what he thought, his thoughts were private, it wasn't like she was Peonykit, Peonykit could tell what he was thinking all the time. Even with that, he thought that maybe Twilightstar could read him, could read how frightened and confused he was, and how he had left and gotten lost again for a few hours. He flicked his tail, realizing it had been tucked under him, symbolizing he was scared. " I-I-I, uh, sorry! Sorry, I just got a little side-tracked and got lost. Sorry to cause any trouble, and thanks for finding me. " Ravenkit stuttered, clearing his throat mid-sentence.

It obviously wasn't like she wouldn't accept him back into the clan-- right? He sat down, curling his tail around his cold paws. It was dark, cold, and wet in the clearing they were in, Leaf-bare was starting which made everything colder and more miserable but come to think of it-- he hadn't ever really experienced it, he just knew it was cold and wet, he had never been in snow, he had only heard bad things from elders. He sat there, letting his mind drift farther and farther from Twilightstar, only being brought back from an abrupt chirp, which he flinched at which made him immediately self-conscious of it, looking away from her and flexing his claws, digging them in the hard dirt.

That face you are making at me is weirding me out, and, if I may point out, you look like a lovestruck fool to the surrounding cats.” He said, gesturing to them all with his tail. He realized what he was saying and his expression got warmer. “Sorry, that was too sharp. I have a habit of speaking my mind so....” he said with a slightly embarrassed tone.

She nodded, "I understand! I do things like that sometimes." She mewed, slightly embarrassed. She turned her head over as she left camp, flicking her tail quickly as the gentle breeze pushed against her, blowing her white and golden fur back. She lowered her head to keep dirt out of her eyes until the breeze calmed down. She lifted her head again and perked her ears.

(Could you transfer it to the territory?)

"So, what do you scent? I'll go check the usual places, such as moor holes, but I haven't explored much of this place in all honesty. Thanks partially to us, and mostly to ShadowClan. I'd like to know if you've found any special spots!" he says. " Erm..What is your opinion on the state of the Shadow and Wind Clans? Would you like to hear mine?"

"I-I, there was just to much going on." She looked
to the ground with dread. That wasn't a good response,
but it was the truth.

He snorted "You are so petty. You think you won? Is this really a winning game? Is this even a game? And your right, I was pretty close, wasn't I? Also, what in all Starclan do you mean 'shaking'? Eh, whatever! If it makes no sense, it's bound to come to leave your mouth!" He mewed, giving his retreating acquaintance an matter-of-fact look.

"Oh, and goodbye! I hope there is somecat smarter than me who will avoid you at all costs! Thanks for giving me this horrendous experience!" He holler, giving a short wave of his tail before strutting away, giving Elderflare one last irritated glance.

Generally if Crowtooth had reason to enter the leaders den he'd announce himself and wait to be invited in out of simple respect.... That wasnt an option this time. His mewling bundle couldnt stay out in the cold for long and with his mouth occupied with carrying her he could only scuff his paw along the floor to notify the leader of his presence before ducking in, confident she'd understand why once she saw him.


A two day old at most kitten all alone with no scent to tell her origins but defiantly not windclan left in the cold. Crowtooth had been meticulous in his covering of the kits once shadowclan scent until nothing but the smell of sweet grass that grew on the moor remained and he'd similarly constructed an airtight story he wouldnt let fail to ensure Brookkit would stay. She was his sister now, his, shadowclan obviously didnt take proper care of the kitten and she'd live much better here as a windclan cat then she'd ever live as one of those heartless beasts. Besides he'd take good care of her, he'd been a great brother until.... Well, moving on.


Carefully placing the kitten between his paws Crowtooth settled in to bring her close to his fluffy chest for warmth and finally spoke. "Im sorry to disturb you Twilightstar but... Well I was hunting on the moor to refill prey stores after that storm and I found her in the middle of the territory with no signs of where she came from. I hunted around but I couldnt find another cat or kittens that might be her kin and she bears no scent marker of anyone. I... Well I couldnt leave her there shes so small and would defiantly die alone out there and well I wanted to ask... Can she please stay in windclan? Ill hunt for her and find a queen to nurse her until shes weaned and I'd be happy to look for her kin until she's an apprentice (I figured if I cant find them by then they're gone) anything I just..... I've been calling her Brookkit already anyways..." He was sure Twilightstar would make the connection between her name and Creekdash. "I just dont think she has family elsewhere and I think she'd be happy here." The tom had been gently curling around the kitten as he spoke emotion in his voice thickening the rasp and obscuring all signs of the falsehoods in his voice. He felt terrible about lying to her even though he hid every sign of that with the same skills he'd used to disguise his sneaking about in the tunnels as an apprentice but he couldnt allow even a single chance of not being able to keep his new sister.

Tunnel time tunnel time! It was time for Crowtooth to gather the tunneler trainees that remained and finally get them that training they really couldve used during the storm.... Ah well the tom didnt control the weather or starclans whims and he'd been so busy teaching came as a second fiddle to kit minding and hunting. They mightve learned a few things by doing though? The skunk striped tom didnt know, all that mattered was the prey store needed restocking and the trainees needed training so today was a two in one! Voles rabbits and groundhogs were the prime meat in the deep so he'd go over them before the group would cart everything back.


"Alrigh' Dawnstreak @mystical Jaypaw @Singing Jay and Cobwebpaw @Naiad we need food and this information is gonna be really important when winter hits so hunting is first on the menu. If youre too busy you dont have to come but you'll have ta come to me at some point later when youre not ta get this lesson before I decide youre ready for your assessment. Now does anyone know the biggest difference between how prey acts on the moor verses below?"

It was finally over. The storm that had rampaged in their land had finally moved on or settled, Jaypaw wasn’t sure which but they didn’t care, as long as they never had to be a part of something like that ever again.

They had planned to get some sleep back but heard Crowtooths call. They were tired, but not busy, and training was important to get whenever they could. So even if their whole body protested they rose up and padded over, trying to smile even though their tail dragged on the ground like a withering flower stem.

Their small ears pricked as Crowtooth asked them all something, about the difference with prey underground verses above it. Jaypaw had no idea about how prey really worked, and really, really didn’t want to talk. All the other cats here seemed nice but still, what if they messed up their speech and made a fool of themselves again…

After a deep breath the blue cat opened their tiny jaws and spoke, as clearly as they cloud, just trying to say it right. ”In thhe thunnels it’s dark.. and shound thravels diffhrently… ” That wasn’t right, but they couldn’t really stop now ”So use your nhose and watch your step?”

Confession time. The kit actually felt pretty bad, and the worst thing was, she wasn’t going to be an apprentice with her friends.She sighed, looking up to her leader. Petalkit would be Petalpaw, and she would still be Duskkit. “Well, I wanted to explore the Windclan territory, and I was impatient, I just kinda wanted to look around, see the open horizon. Then, I saw pretty flowers, and I went over to them, next moment I’m lost, and can’t find my way back to camp. I eventually found it, as you can see. I’m really sorry. My curiosity got the better of me, and I got lost.” The kit would’ve requested to have her punishment be after her apprentice ceremony, but she didn’t. She knew this was the cause for her impatience. Her lips pressed together, as she waited for Twilightstar’s response.
