The molly blushed a tiny but at her daughters joke about her mom jokes. "I'll keep working on them." She chuckles softly, then turned to tap noses with Lightningpaw. She was lucky that her first ThunderClan apprentice was this little sweetheart. "I can't wait to train you! And I promise I'll keep those mom jokes at a minimum." She purred with a glance over at her daughter as she departed.

The tiny Siamese-Abyssinian mix let out a soft huff as her mentor wrapped her up in a tight hug, maneuvering herself so she could get a good view of the pebble hitting Bumblystar in the face. Her actual face!! Even though she hadn't been involved in the pebble attack, she still backed up to avoid being in the leaders line of side, hiding in her large mentors thick fur.

As Muddyhound sprinted away, the four and a half moon old stumbled at first, then ran after them with a small giggle. Her mentor was so fun!!

*stormpaw*

Stormpaw listened to the meeting shouting out the names and such the tom listened carefully, a sudden shock came as he stood up really fast"Bumblestar no! Please don't send him he's my best friend he's the only one I love to hang out please I beg you!" he shouted with desperate dad eyes towards the leader" if you still send him send me to go with him please he's the only friend I have" he urged with ears back and sad eyes staring at the leader. It couldn't be happening could it Blazepaw was a special cat why couldn't they find someone to train him? The tom began to tear up as he kept staring.

*Blazepaw*


Blazepaw hung out in the back of the crowd but the tom paused on what he was doing and just stood there silently having a feel something was terribly wrong.

Mapleface
She/Her

"Give him to me."

The words seemed to burst out of nowhere .. a motherly instinct, she presumed. But Mapleface didn't take them back. No, she wouldn't back out of it now.

--- Hhhhhh, time to rewind to this post . and start from there because Rose replies very late, whoops. ---

Turning to look at Sharpclaw [ @Woodlow ] as he spoke out, Mapleface tamped down a flare of annoyance and bewilderment as the warrior took her words all wrong. In fact, at this point, he was putting words in her mouth. She hadn't- hadn't meant it that way! "I didn't say you needed to be replaced, Sharpclaw-" However, Mapleface cut off her words as Sharpclaw went on, brow furrowing as a spark of annoyance lit in her heart. He was taking this all wrong. She hadn't called him incompetent. She'd merely told Bumblestar [ @dino. ] that accompanying Sharpclaw and Blazepaw [ @Queen_Coral ] to the border was the best thing to do. Either that, or sending a Hornet with them. It was a way to show the Clan that you cared what happened to them.

Except, Bumblestar's answer was entirely saddening. The leader didn't seem to have seen reason, and Mapleface's mouth tightened at Bumblestar's blatant disregard for the youth who couldn't even hear to defend himself. One of these days, the leader was going to dig herself a hole so deep even her nine lives wouldn't let her claw her way out of. As much as Mapleface despised thinking bad of others... this... she truly didn't understand Bumblestar and her ways.

Shaking her head, the red and white queen didn't even say anything to her leader, instead turning her emerald gaze to Sharpclaw once more. "I'll-" A brief glance, here, towards her kits; Rosekit [ @xavier. ] and Redkit [ @jupiter ]. And then, to her half-brother, Cracklepaw [ @Leafí ]. "Crackles, watch my kids until I get back, will you?" She asked softly, and then moved towards Sharpclaw and Blazepaw. "I'll tag along, then. But not because I doubt you, Sharpclaw." Her voice softened considerably. This tom was only a moon older than her dear Crackles. She could ascertain the similarities. Both of them were stubborn as hell. "I'm joining the two of you because stars knows how many dangers lurk out in the wild."

And... well, it was time to address something else, since Stormpaw was practically begging Bumblestar to let Blazepaw stay. Which brought on the initial words she'd blurted.

"Give him to me."

"I'm a queen, I have kits, I know. But if no one else will step forward to try and mentor him, then I am required to. Give me a chance, let me try to train Blazepaw."

[dino.]

Or... not.

Bumblestar turned quite a few pawsteps away from the entrance to her den. She hadn't missed Mudhound's hurried escape, now she knew who the culprit is—but Mapleface and Stormpaw took her attention.

In response to Stormpaw [ @Queen_Coral ], she shrugged. "If you want to go with him, I won't stop you. Not gonna force cats to stay who don't want to."

Her gaze flickered to Mapleface [ @Rose ] next, and for a moment she studied the queen before exhaling quietly and trying to reign in her irritation. This needed a more delicate approach, clearly, and she moved forward to stand close to the red and white she-cat.

"Look," she said quietly, trying to be as gentle with this as possible. "I get the- the desire to try this, I do. But you need to understand that he can't see or hear. I'm not at all saying that in a bad way, it's just the facts. There's not much that can be done in terms of training. At best, he'll be stuck in camp all day unable to do much of anything; at worst, he's an easy target for predators or enemy warriors who might slip through our defenses. That's not to say we aren't capable of protecting him, but Twolegs have far better resources than we could ever hope to come up with. Some cats just aren't suited for the wild life, 'n Blazepaw just happens to be one of 'em."

She tossed a brief glance toward Mapleface's kits. "Like I said. You're welcome to join Sharpclaw in delivering him. Just... be careful, yeah? I'm not expecting anything to happen, both of you are plenty capable, but you've got kits to come back to who don't need to know what growin' up without a mom is like."

v-Cracklepaw-v

Seeing that Maples scooped her demons away, Cracklepaw was able to calm himself. Giving a couple of pathetic coughs, the mania slowly left his eyes as he came back to earth. Reality settling back in, the apprentice finally took in what was happening. First off he realized that both Goldenpaw AND Hazelpaw got THEIR WARRIOR NAMES! THIS WASN'T FAIR! Any serenity that he collected began to seep away as anger and dread clouded his vision. Anger because, this wasn't RIGHT! HE WAS A BETTER FIGHTER THAN BOTH OF THEM COMBINED! And dread because he could already here their gloating! He could hear EVERY SINGLE snide comment that they would spew! And speaking of the devil, it seemed it was already happening. NO!! NOOOO! Seeing Hazelpaws smug look, Cracklepaw ground his teeth together in an attempt to keep his cool. But it was so, so, so, so, SOOOO, DIFFICULT WHEN THAT IDIOT WAS RUBBING SALT IN HIS WOUND!
Keeping smiling you NO GOOD, LOWLIFE, SLIME EATING, ASS HOLE! He fumed mentally. He'd show her! HE'D SHOW HER! Exhaling violently, the lanky apprentice dug his shaking claws into the ground while he watched the molly pass him. What a stuck up SNOB! He hoped she had a seizure while watching over camp tonight...

The rapid breathing, had sent him into another hacking fit while he tried to ignore the terrible string of events. Alright... Uh what else was said? Oh, uh... Something about exiling an apprentice named Blazepaw. He didn't know who they were, or why they were getting kicked from Thunderclan...but he was sure it was for a good reason. Right? Well, apparently not, because for the first time ever, he noticed that Mapleface was upset. And Mapleface was NEVER upset! Blinking in confusion, he turned a now befuddled gaze towards the queen. He didn't like seeing Mapleface upset! She didn't deserve to be upset! Everyone else could be wallowing in misery and he wouldn't care, but if it was Maples who was sad, then there was a BIG problem. Forgetting about his past turmoil, Cracklepaw scooted a bit closer towards his sister. And for the first time ever, his angular features twisted into concern as she got to her paws. Giving a simple command in his direction, Maples went to face what ever was happening head on. Biting back any form of complaint, he nodded stoically. He may not like her ugly children, but he did love her! And he would successfully complete the task she gave him! Even if that meant digging a hole and tossing the two kits inside so they wouldn't interrupt their mother!

Sitting up straight, he cleared his voice and stretched out his front legs in attempt to scoop up Rosekit and Redkit and press the against his belly. So this way the wild beast would be pinned behind totally awesome leg muscles. " If you rats even try to misbehave," he growled "I'll bite off your toes and feed what's left to a fox! Do you understand? " this threat was very necessary. It would show the kits who was now in charge! And that was him! He had a important task to complete, so your going to bet that he was going to be the most overbearing uncle in ALL of existence!

Redkit

The round bobtail was on top, and then she was being bounced around. Uncle Crackles was giving her a ride!! She let out a delighted scream, with broke off as her mother grabbed her just as Uncle Crackles started to roll around
The goofy goober! Not realizing that her uncle didn't like her, and not realizing that her mother had saved her from inevitable squashing, the kitten hopped back up and scampered out of her mamas grip just as Maplemom left.

"Buh-bye mama! We'll be good!" She giggled, not sensing the tone of the situation, then looked up as Uncle Crackles pull her under his belly. The kitten reached and and tried to tickle the big guys tummy with her tiny red paws with a wild suppression of laughter. "Uncle Cwackles! Come catch me!" The child howled, and leaped over his paws, making a mad dash for the apprentices den. "I'm gonna mess up your neeeeeeest!" And this wasn't a bluff. The kid, too young to realize that he might not like that, was fully intending to go best digging. She was going to dig a hole. Right in the middle of his best.

Fudge wasn't surprised when he wasn't called out for patrol, yet he still couldn't help the gulp that escaped him. Was he already being seen as useless? He hoped not. He never wanted to go back to the city. He had almost died there. Starved there. And no housefolk wanted him anyway. He wasn't warm and cuddly enough for their tastes. Didn't conform to their every will to be worthy of being fed and given some shelter by them. No matter how much he'd looked like them, he and his littermates had always differed in that regard.

Schooling his face into its usual look of disinterest, the three moon old apprentice stood, giving one cautious look across the clearing once more. No one seemed to be looking for him. Maybe Tigerface wasn't here? He wouldn't know. He didn't know anyone. Part of that whole not being warm and cuddly thing, he supposed. If he had nothing to do with these cats, he really didn't see a reason to get to know them. A fact that hadn't changed, but unfortunately he desperately seemed to need to get to know Tigerdefinitelyhadasecondnamehere if he wanted to get anywhere with that whole self sustenance thing he'd been hoping to get in this place.

Flattening his ears for only a second, the chocolate point kit headed towards the nursery. He knew enough to know that he no longer belonged there. He was no longer identified by the -kit in his clan given name. But there were some things in there that he preferred taking with him to his new nest. Namely a red feather, a crumpled up, dead flower, and two little moss figures that had been his constant meal companions since his fateful encounter with Lamb.

ThunderClan | Warrior | He/Him | 12 moons

Huh, seemed not a lot of warriors wanted to help search for territory. Sharpclaw, at least, had an excuse as to why he couldn't participate. He had hoped Mapleface would've volunteered instead of taking his offer literally. She took it literally of course, but strangely tried to take Blazepaw on as her apprentice at the last second. Seriously?

What could she have hoped to teach the little waste of space? He wouldn't be able to pick the ticks off an elder's back even with a lifetime of her training. Her attempt proved futile, as Bumblestar coldly shut her down, only affirming her earlier option to join Sharpclaw in getting rid of the useless apprentice.

He turned his attention to Bumblestar as she finished speaking to Mapleface.

"Ugh, fine. She can come too. But it's not like I need her to tag along. I would have been just fine on my own," he grumbled. Sharpclaw wasn't happy to do this with the stubborn queen. She would only drag this out longer than it needed to be. Plus, he was more than capable of doing this himself. He didn't need her help for this, but since Bumblestar allowed it Sharpclaw would just have to put up with her.

With a look of growing annoyance, he turned to Mapleface. "C'mon, let's get a move on. The sooner this little brat is gone the sooner I can get back to real clan duties." He scanned the cats in the clearing, searching for Blazepaw. Then he found him sitting in the back, oblivious to what was about to happen to him. Sharpclaw stormed over and bent down, attempting to grab him by the scruff of his neck.

He couldn't expect the deaf and blind apprentice to follow him and decided carrying him was the better option.

(do we start this exile roleplay in the territory thread or a private thread? I'm not really sure where to start it)

They/them

Rosekit had watched as their uncle Crackles bucked around with sissy on his head. This made the masked kit want a turn. The little kit bounced around with their uncle letting out giggles.

"I wants a turn! I wants a turn!"

Rosekit chirped before Redkit was scooped up by mama and placed back onto the ground.

"No ride? No ride."

Rosekit said the second part to confirm to themself. Oh well, maybe next time! Yes yes next time! Rosekit went to attempt to tackle their sissy but stopped when they heard mama start speaking to the big cat that was lookin down at all of them. Rosekit didnt.. exactly understand with Mama. They have never heard her sound.. so.. what was the word?? Rosekit didn't even know. Rosekit tilted their head watching their mama. Soon enough they saw mama turn to face uncle crackles and all the questioning Rosekit was doing washed away.

Rosekit bounced around. Uncle Crackles was going to watch them!! This meant they can play play play!! Rosekit looked up at uncle Crackles after he had pulled them and sissy to his belly letting out a small giggle at his funny words.

"You're so silly, Uncle crackles"

Rosekit said before looking back at sissy trying to tickle their uncle and then leap over his paws running to the big little cats den. Rosekit looked up at uncle crackles with a giant grin on their face.

"We gonna catch her? Yes yes? Catch her?"

Oh, thank the stars, the meeting was over. Alderstep barely managed to nod, aware that he was leading a patrol back to the old camp. Can't wait for what sort of nightmare fuel he'd find there. Something to consider after his nap, though.

With a double glance at his two apprentices, Alderstep rose to his white paws. "Gonna go sleep," he mumbled, giving his head a shake. "M'alright, though," he added, just in case they were worried about him, which was unlikely. He got the urge to, dunno, say more to the two, but he didn't know why, which was scary, so he just padded away. To go sleep. Sleep was nice.

@SuspiciousMindz @jupiter for the sweet babies, don't feel a need to reply tho
