Roseskip felt overjoyed to have an apprentice, but as usual, they were doubting their abilities as both a warrior and a mentor. They locked eyes with Wrenpaw, wondering whether they should walk over or if Wrenpaw should. @Oobleck

Gingerheart looked shocked. She wasn't expecting to become a mentor, but she was quite excited to. She stood quickly and dipped her head to Twilightstar as a thank you. She touched noses with her new apprentice, Blossompaw.

Blossompaw touched her nose to her mentors happily, “I will do my best for you!” She whispered to her mentor, her eyes shimmering with joy as the wind blew in her pelt, despite the loss this was the perfect day for her ceremony, “I know you will be the best mentor ever!” She whispered again and shut her eyes, enjoying the moment

FireflyMeadow padded out onto the moor swiftly,the wind blowing on the short short cats fur. ‘Lionpaw should be here by now’ A soft tune played in the demigirls head. She softly hummed the tune out loud as they paced the moor lightly while waiting for the lilac Shecat apprentice. What was Lionpaw? Almost a warrior now? That was quick to say the least- FireflyMeadow had managed to get the younger cat away from her brother for once. FireflyMeadow lightly giggle at the constant playful bickering between the two apprentices.
They heard paw steps behind her and turned around swiftly.
{ Quick Starter For This }

Lionpaw yawned as she scrambled out of the apprentices' den, tail shot straight up in the air and her fur fluffed up. She was late! She was late for a very important hunting date. Actually, it wasn't that important, one of the warriors, Fireflymeadow, had asked her if she wanted to go hunting earlier and Lionpaw said yes because why not?! She loved hunting. But then she took a nap in the apprentice den because she also loved napes, not as much as her sister, but close enough. Then! She fell asleep and honestly just forgot until she woke up from a hunting dream and recalled that she could actually go out hunting!
Crazy, right? She was not going to tell Leechpaw any of this because he'd tease her for the rest of her life. The small, chunky lilac-gray apprentice ran out of camp as fast as her legs would carry her and found the warrior pretty fast, she was about to call out to Fireflymeadow until the she-cat whipped around to face. Lionpaw paused, flinching before smoothing the fur that stood up on her back with some quick tongue swipes. At least she hadn't yowled, that would have been embarrassing.
"Sorry! I forgot you said we'd go hunting. I was sleeping and I had a dream I was chasing a mouse, and I caught it... or well I think I did I'm not sure since I woke up. But anyway, then I remembered that I could actually go hunting, 'cause you asked if I wanted to go hunting earlier, and then I came out here and found you, and turned around really fast and startled me." Lionpaw narrated everything up to the current point with an adorable smile on her face as if Fireflymeadow hadn't been a part of it. "Oh, don't tell Leechpaw any of that, he'll tease me." She added after a second thought. Lionpaw had her assessment coming up with her brother in the next couple of days and she didn't need him being a butthead.

This is my chance to prove to Twilightstar I can live in WindClan, I can't mess up! he puffed out his chest fur and smirked, it didn't take him long for him to taste the air just as Twilightstar had just done. It was fairly easy to detect a mouse or two- not too far away from where the group was standing. Crouching down, the tuxedo tom began to stalk, remembering to stay as quiet as possible. It was actually the easiest thing he found that the Clans did.
Keeping his tail as still as possible and his haunches as low as they could go, Badgerpaw let the wind carry his scent toward camp. It was easy enough, how hard could hunting a mouse be? He had plenty of experience from the twoleg place! Opening his jaws to take in the scent, double-checking his surroundings, the tom made his move and slowed down ever so slightly. Narrowing his eyes (which is something he hardly ever does), Badgerpaw unsheathed his claws and sprinted forward, jumping after only two bounds. A mouse's tail ended up being directly under his paw, so Badgerpaw quickly snapped its neck with a quick blow from his other paw. That was very simple, though he possibly allowed the other animals in the area to know that they were being hunted. Oops... oh well, Twilightstar will be happy with this mouse. I'm not too far away, am I?
The WindClan apprentice looked back to see that Twilightstar and Laurelpaw were having a conversation. Something regarding Laurelpaw's behavior, he assumed. The only thing he could do was grab his catch and walk as slow as he could to give them both time to themselves in case it was something that wasn't meant for his ears. So that's what he did, though he got closer to them faster than he expected, so he just sat down and began to clean his chest fur smooth. It bothered him to have it ruffled, that was for sure.

Maybe he was too slow to catch rabbits, in which case he wouldn't last too long in WindClan. That would be perfectly fine with her; perhaps while they were kicking him out they could also put that same energy towards finding her mom.
Soon enough the tom was off doing as he was told, and the black and white she-cat let out a hefty sigh. Twilightstar was asking her a question, but the apprentice knew better than to open her mouth while Badger-loudmouth was still around. For all she knew, he'd been the one to insist the leader and his mentor take her along with them. Once he was far enough away, she swung her annoyed gaze towards the lilac leader. "Well for one, I'm willing to bet he's too slow to catch any of the rabbits that run along this moor, so good luck trying to turn him into any kind of warrior," she scoffed with an equally disgusted eyeroll.
She had more to add, that was sure, but the blundering bumble of fur came back quickly as if he wanted to eavesdrop. Laurelpaw shot him a glare and stood up. "Oh, if you wanted to hear what I said so badly it's that you're too slow to be a WindClanner, and that you'll probably get kicked out soon. Next time don't pretend to walk back slowly, eavesdropper." And with that the she-cat stalked off to catch something of her own. A rabbit. Yeah. She'd catch a rabbit, and that would get both of these cats off her back.
Scenting the air, Laurelpaw was able to pick up on a trace of rabbit not too far off. Her head turned, body remaining still as ever. Just ahead the two fluffy ears of a rabbit poked up from the bland moorland and she ducked low, keeping herself level with the ground and stalking forward slowly. Thankfully the wind was blowing in her direction which meant the rabbit likely wouldn't smell her yet. Carefully, each paw was moved as slow as possible as she inched closer and closer, bringing her within sprinting range.
A slow breath out, and then the young she-cat exploded from the bushes to give chase to the rabbit just as it sprang to its own feet. Paws drumming the moorland Laurelpaw did her best to keep up with the rabbit as it zigged one way and zagged the other. Seeing the rabbit take a sharp turn, the apprentice skidded where she was - throwing up dirt in the process - and tried to veer her course so that she could cut it off. Slowly but surely she was gaining on it, just a few more paw steps and -
Suddenly the sky swooped down and the ground came up fast, over and over in a circular succession. Dirt clouded her gaze and filled her lungs until she finally stopped tumbling, landing on her back and looking up at the sky. Had she... tripped?? Embarrassment made her pelt go hot as she quickly got to her paws. The rabbit was long gone, but Laurelpaw was no longer interested in that. Instead she flattened her ears and avoided looking at either the leader or Badgerpaw as she limped back over. Not a single word came from her as she sat down once more, grimacing but resisting the urge to hiss as a sharp jolt of pain erupted in her forepaw as she sat down.
[ I am deeply, deeply sorry about the delay in this. I had a dip in motivation for Laurelpaw but it's back now! ]
Her green eye followed her apprentice as he began to stalk away. She kept her eye glued to his paws, watching how he balanced his weight, and what he did with his tail. His crouch and stalking were too bad for a former kittypet. She was impressed to see that he knew to stay downwind of what he was hunting. Perhaps Twilightstar had simply judged kittypets too harshly or Badgerpaw was merely different. She did find it a little strange how he ran and then pounced at his prey instead of finishing closing the distances between them and pouncing. The running at the prey could alert too soon and give it a chance to escape.
Or not? Hmm, it was a strange way to hunt but Badgerpaw had caught the mouse so she guessed to each their own. She angled her ear toward Laurelpaw who had started chatting once Badgerpa was out of earshot. The leader swung her head back over to the apprentice as she picked up the snark and the disdain for Badgerpaw when she commented about his hunting. It didn't seem the she-cat was nearly as impressed as Twilightstar had been with her new denmate. Badgerpaw's return seemed to disrupt any type of discussion she would have liked to have with Laurelpaw. The agitated apprentice belittled Badgerpaw and then darted off presumably to go hunting herself.
"Well, that could have gone better." Twilightstar huffed, she'd have to take Laurelpaw out again on her own time to better discuss her issues without Badgerpaw around to be an outlet for her temper. "You hunted wonderfully, by the way, far better than I had expected with your background. Don't pay any mind to Laurelpaw, I haven't the faintest clue what her problem with you is. I doubt it's personal you seemed to be the easiest target to bully at the moment." She told him, eye shining as she peered at his mouse. He was anything but a bad hunter, like everyone he just needed some time and a little extra training. "I"ll teach you how to run after rabbits and you'll be hunting them in no time."
Twilightstar turned her head to make sure that Laurelpaw was in her line of sight. She found the apprentice not too far off, stalking some rabbit ahead of her. Intrigued, yet dubious that the apprentice would be able to chase it down the second she sprinted out of her hiding place, Twilightstar rose and signaled to Badgerpaw to stay where he was with a jerky motion of her tail. Twilightstar felt like Laurelpaw was pushing too hard, and so sprang after her on swift, yet controlled paws. The leader keeps her distance, watching Laurelpaw out of the side of her single eye, and wasn't surprised to see her take a spill not long after the rabbit changed direction.
Instead of slowing to check on the apprentice, Twilightstar pelted after the rabbit as it bolted down the moor. The leader focused on each bound, curving her spine, and reached out with her forepaws as she ran instead of taking notice of the distance between herself and the rabbit. The molly moved with the practiced ease of a huntress who chased down speedy prey a multitude of times. As if the wind was carrying her itself, Twilightstar gained ground and closed the distance between herself and the prey. It tried to veer in a different direction, as it turned she leaped and sank her claws into its back and brought her fangs down into its neck.
Panting softly, Twilightstar grabbed the large critter and padded back to the apprentices, dropping Laurelpaw's rabbit nearby the paw with an inquisitive glint in her green eye. "If you're going to hunt, focus on hunting, not showing off. Your paw-work needs attention and if you length your strides as you run, you'll cover more distance than just trying to move your legs fast, you need to control. I'm surprised you didn't get a cramp running like that." Twilightstar told Laurelpaw, before ducking her head to sniff at the apprentice in search of any injuries or swelling.
"Anything broken, sprained, or bruised?" This question was directed at Laurelpaw in an authoritative tone, obviously, the leader expected an answer from her and a truthful one. While she waited for Laurelpaw, she looked over at Badgerpaw wondering what he made of Laurelpaw's little display.
Fallownose bowed his head at the announcement of Bravebird's death. Even though he had been there when her body was brought into camp, it still sent a fresh jab of pain into his heart to be reminded of her fate. The dark gray tom couldn't help but blame himself for not trying to talk to Bravebird when something had been so obviously wrong. If he had reached out to her, would things be different now? But there was no point in wondering over "what ifs". The fiery young molly was dead, and nothing could be done.
Barkpaw's death caused the deputy to draw a sharp breath in. Another life was taken too soon, and he had only been an apprentice. Fallownose murmured a quiet prayer for both Bravebird and Barkpaw before lifting his head again to listen to the rest of Twilightstar's announcements. The first half was about her den being open, and he nodded in agreement with the part about being willing to listen.
"As Twilightstar said, I am always available to listen and help to the best of my abilities if you ever wish to speak to me." Hopefully, some cats would take him up on it. He'd like to know how the Clan he was eventually going to lead thought and get to know many on a more personal level.
The meeting moved on to a lighter note with the naming of new apprentices, and Fallownose cheered for them eagerly. "Patchpaw! Blossompaw! Fawnpaw!" It was always a joy when kits began training to become a warrior, and hopefully these three would make it all the way.

Ashflight perked up slightly when he heard his name being called, it seemed like he was given an apprentice. His tail waved slightly in joy before he stood up and moved to greet his new apprentice, Fawnpaw. They leaned down to touch their noses together before they took a spot next to Fawnpaw his tail flicking slightly as he listened to the rest of the meeting.
As Fawnpaw took a seat, she let out a small squeal of excitment, one of the few things she was doing to show her excitment about becoming an apprentice. The most noticable though, was her tail was bushed out decently despite her being a short hair and the fact she wasn’t exactly sitting still.

"heh... I guess.." She mewed "My name is Hollow and I want to join for a better home for my kits. I was told about the clans by an old friend of mine. They told me that the clan on the moors would be friendly... So what do i have to lose" She mewed.
Twilightstar really didn't fully understand what it was about outsiders and their desires to join clans they knew little to nothing about. "Well, Hollow, your lucky your friend was mostly right. I wouldn't call my clan friendly, but we're not as hostile as some. You said you wanted a better home, and for your kits?" She repeated eyeing the she-cat's belly. "Where'd you live before?" Twilightstar asked, wondering if that would help her understand why she-cat who knew nothing about the clans was willing to take a chance and join one.

Well, this was getting her nowhere. Twilightstar would be tempted to leave the cat to her delirium, but alas she wasn't that cold-hearted. However, she wasn't willing to risk bringing the cat to her camp either. The cat didn't seem injured, just malnourished and dehydrated, it wasn't even leaf-bare yet how cats could get this sickly made little sense to her. Groaning softly, Twilightstar turned away from the cat and darted off.
It didn't take her long to find a small mouse, dispatch it, and bring it back to the weak outsider. She wordlessly dropped the prey near the cat begrudgingly. She'd go out and hunt down a large rabbit in return for wasting prey like this after. Regardless of how small, that mouse could be sitting in a kit's belly.
"Eat it." She ordered, bluntly and then padded off again, returning not long after with some moss dipped in water and set that down near the cat as well. From there, Twilightstar sat and waited to see if the cat regained some of her senses or if she was going to have to go and find Cowpaw. The cat didn't smell sick, but Twilightstar could never be too certain.

"I need to help out, who knows if a war with any of the other clans may happen, or maybe food will be scarce by the next leaf-bare, I have lived as a rouge, and has lived thru leaf-bare, there are animals further down that we can hunt then staying in our boundaries when the snow falls. Or when it is time for two-legs to cut the trees, or maybe green cough may come around! Tiwilight'star please, let me back in! I can be a great help, I have lived the rouge life and i can help with lots of things the clan may need!
.....If you can't let me back in, may I at least see my former apprentice....I wanna see if they became a warrior yet," he said smiling sadly at Twilight'star. @Moonraven
Her fur bristled and her lips curled in a warning snarl at the tone the tom dared to use with her. It seemed time away from the clan had resulted in him forgetting his place and his respect. Mossnose seemed to remember himself and fixed his tone as he went on. The leader stopped snarling, but her fur remained standing on end. Nothing of what he said made much sense to her, aside from new pretty to hunt. Everything else sounded like nonsense.
"When I want space, I go into the moor to be alone, not abandon my clan to go live by myself for myself." It seemed like Mossnose wasn't understand what she was trying to emphasize here. "You could have helped out by staying with the clan, training your apprentice, and hunting and patrolling the borders. Your concerns are far-fetched and far off." The leader wasn't done being upset with the tom but did let some of her anger go while shaking her head.
"I have no idea where Tigerpaw has gone, I haven't seen nor heard from she went missing." She informed him. "Nothing you've said has convinced me that you even deserve a chance back into WindClan, I'll still give you one. You need to return to the basics, get your priorities straight, and your head straighter. So I'm demoting you as an apprentice for the next moon. Perhaps some time as an apprentice will teach you something called loyalty."
[We're pretty much done here, I'll return him to WindClan as Mosspaw. He can get his rank returned in the middle of September, by visiting Twilight's den.]

He hadn't seen his mates reation to what he said so he was slightly confused when Twilightstar mentioned thats she didn't seem to agree with him. BlueLeap nodded as Twilightstar began to adress her, however when she brang up that she should have spoken to FurzeShine before leaving she felt slightly irritated, but just nodded once more.
Thank starclan, we've been accepted back. FurzeShine thought and sighed with relief, BlueLeap tapped him with the tip of her tail to signal to the tom that Twilightstar hadn't finished speaking yet, and FurzeShine quickly sat up straight, attentively. As the leader continued BlueLeap was now giving two questions, one of which she didn't quite know how to word the answer too. FurzeShine's gaze shifted to the molly, both these questions he wanted to know the answer to as well.
She took a breath before meowing "FurzeShine and my relationship is a bit.. complicated.
"We became mates within three moons of our warrior ceremony, and it was great for a while, but then we started arguing, mostly about little things, but it kept escalating. FurzeShine kept suggesting that we should start a family, I didn't want to, I kept making this clear but he kept pushing it." FurzeShines ear flicked slightly with embarrassment, BlueLeap was making it sound like he was some kind of fox-hearted tom who only wanted kits. "Eventually he stopped, our arguing began to slow down too, it started to feel like we were actually starting to get on our paws in this relationship, and things were going our way. But," she paused for a moment
"when my mother passed away we started arguing once more, this carried on for a moon and a half. However, on one night when we were arguing he broke down into tears, I realised that I had been being too hard on him and immediately ran to comfort him." FurzeShine shuttered, he didn't like remembering their arguments. "About five or six days after that night I found I out I was pregnant. I told FurzeShine and he was over the moon, but I never wanted them. I wanted to figure out a way to get rid of them, but of course I didn't want them to be without a parent, the first logical place for me to think of besides a Windclan cat fostering them was a kittypet." she nodded acknowledging that it was dumb.
"As for the other question the reason why I didn't like what he said just before was because we never agreed that we would raise the kits, we will be discussing that later today." The last part she looked over at her mate for, "Thank you Twilightstar for allowing us back into Windclan, now that Ive told you the full situation may we return to camp? her voice was calm as she addressed the leader, but it sounded slightly impatient.
[ @Moonraven ]
[ Sorry if that didn't quite make sense, Im not great with coming up with backstories on the go ]
Her whiskers twitched as Blueleap mentioned a complicated relationship with Furzeshine. The leader could tell that the two didn't see eye to eye much through this small interaction which made her wonder why they were mates in the first place. But it wasn't her place to ask, so she kept her mouth shut. As Blueleap went into detail about an argument, the sudden litter, and then again not seeing eye to eye on the kits, somehow that resulted in Blueleap wanting to bring them to a twoleg?!
That part didn't make sense, but it was nice to know at least the two were going to talk about it. At the impatient question to return to camp, Twilightstar finally nodded and jerked her head indicating they should follow her as she rose. Twilightstar made a mental note to keep an eye on Blueleap and Furzeshine. The pair could literally do anything they wanted with the kits, such as adopt them to someone in the clan that actually wanted to raise them. She doubted whoever took them would tell Furzeshine to hit the road and never talk or care for his kits again. If Blueleap and Furzeshine had as many issues as it seemed they did, they should probably find new mates, but again, not Twilightstar's problem unless it was disrupting her clan.
[All done, I'll put them back into WindClan.]

Shaking off a few brambles that stuck to her pelt, Twilightstar slipped out of an old rabbit trail and caught sight of a ginger pelt cat who was covered in muck. It took some staring to figure out who the cat was. "Vixenjump?" Twilightstar called, blinking her only eye as she moved closer to the cat. "What happened to you?"

FireflyMeadow was a Cat To Normally Plan out their actions,but now that was thrown to the wind. With Fallownose basically just tearing her ears off. The Shecat sighed,She sighed. As they softly waited for the leader appear out of the blue. They tapped their paw on the earth,clearly getting annoyed. “Haven and Daisy. You Two Know Full Well You Can’t Just Walk Onto The Territory,Right? That’s Up To Twilightstar and when she gets here I would Highly Recommend Apologizing-” That was all they would say until Fallownose ripped her ears off entirely. They were at the boarder now- FireflyMeadow was going to take the fall for Both Her And Deertrot,With They Were Completely Fine With.
Daisy rolled her eyes, ignoring the warrior and pressing onward.
Out on her usual patrol and checking the outskirts border, Twilightstar was rather surprised to see one of her warriors with two unfamiliar faces in the territory. Thoroughly confused, Tilightstar picked up her pace and called out to Fireflymeadow. "Why do you have two outsiders with you?" She questioned, eyeing both strangers with a touch of suspicion. They clearly weren't hostile if they being led around by Fireflymeadow, but that did not explain why there were here and not on the other side of the border.

The orange tabby looked at Twillightstar with sorrow in his green eyes. "I suppose your right, Twillightstar. Windclan may not be my home, and my heart may lie with my kin. But I was always loyal to you and this clan. Witch is why this is a hard decision." Ashbaze responded, looking her in the eyes. "I'm sorry for all I did. But if I'm not allowed back into Windclan, I'll go and join my sister in Thunderclan. Farewell, Twillightstar." The tom smiled and bowed his head to his former leader before he set off towards Thunderclan. Hoping he doesn't get lost again.
Twilightstar tail twitched back and forth as she watched Ashblaze depart with a farewell. If he was truly loyal to WindClan and would have fought harder to stay, the leader couldn't say she was sad to see him go. Cats who put their kin of another clan before their own clan did not know true loyalty. Once the tom was off her territory, she got up and began heading back home.
