But at least, he was walking! and moving forward, despite some obvious difficulties. Stag himself was not a big fan of being out in this clearing and didn't exactly like interacting with other kits. Because last time, he'd been abandoned and left alone despite Oogly telling the other kit multiple times not to abandon him! Yet now Stag had Twiglight... If anyone abandoned him again or said mean stuff... Stag would go to Twiglight. Twiglight was safe... and Twiglight would solve Stag's problems. However, the little limping kit spotted another kit... that looked a bit older than him piling some rocks up. Maybe... this one wouldn't abandon him again? So slowly hobbling over he picked up a small pebble and began rolling it towards the bigger kit. "Hello!" He didn't exactly know how else to start. "I am... Stagkit!" he proclaimed with a small smile. "I can help... build pile too!" He hoped the other kit wouldn't disregard him. Just because he only had three working paws didn't mean he was useless! "Who are... you?"

Cornkit stared speechless at the other kit, his mouth wide open in shock that anyone wanted to approach him. Had Starclan listened to his thoughts about wanting a friend? Shut your mouth you absolute dumb fox. Cornkit shook his head. He was so in awe that there was an actual real kit in front of him he hadn't even noticed Stagkit's lack of mobility. Although he did realize he was staring. You're so unbelievably rude! You'll scare him off! The toxic thoughts were rapid firing through his brain as Cornkit's anxiety rose slowly. He looked to his paws shyly, but moved half of his hefty pile of stones over to Stagkit with a swish of his tail. "I'm- I'm Cornkit." He stuttered out. He dug a shallow line in the dirt. "This is the stream. Let's - Let's make a bridge." He offered. The kit honestly wasn't even sure if Stagkit was even still there, he was staring so intently at the ground. He knew he should make eye contact otherwise Stagkit might think he's was weird but his head felt like a boulder. Gravity was claiming it, and Cornkit was helpless to it's pull. So his paws are where his eyeballs stayed.

Littlewish tilted his head curiously, his amber gaze flickering with interest. A...rogue? He's not clan-born? He narrowed his eyes carefully, recalling the arrival of a queen and her kits a few moons before Eaglepaw was apprenticed. Perhaps he'd arrived then...? Windclan had taken in a large influx of rogues and loners lately, probably because it wanted to 'strengthen itself'. After all, it was pretty obvious that they were low on the strength leaderboard, if that was a thing. Shadowclan and Riverclan taking up first, Thunderclan in second, and little old Windclan taking up the last slot. It wasn't their fault. Those stupid dogs had come and decided to mess everything up.
"That's pretty cool, kiddo. D'ya want to continue on these mives, or move on?"

She didn't necessarily know whether that cat was a medicine cat, a cat from a different clan, or both. But really, who cares if a cat likes a cat from another clan? as Long as they're loyal to their clan above all else, there wasn't really a problem, "If you don't mind me asking, who is it?" she asked, her gaze focused on Weaselskip.

The grey molly let out a soft smile, thinking back to her last meeting with the love of her life... Moonbird. Yet she had to focus, had to not let her thoughts drift too far off the train she was going. Weaselskip's clanmate was being surprisingly calm but she didn't know if it was due to the fact that they were surprised but suppressing it or in general not caring at all. She didn't know. And it confused her! She used to know what she could about her clanmates, used to be able to make them feel all giddy and flustered and she felt strange being on the receiving side of it for once. "Oh my love? My dearest, the taker of my ever flowing and plusing heart?" she tried to let out a small laugh, "It's Moonbird. Ya ever heard of her? Small pretty cute grey molly. Diluted tortie. Well... she is from Thunderclan as well. Ran her over quite a few times on... trips."

Heatherspirit padded into the WindClan territory, looking up at the clear sky, no trees to block her view. She glanced back to make sure Cloudpaw was following.

Eaglepaw saw that Littlewish's gaze flick with interest when he mentioned the Rouge."Can we move on? And if you're really interested, I guess I could tell you about myself before I joined WindClan" he offered.

Thornleaf padded out of the warriors den to enjoy some time out of the den. It was a good day to just lay in the camp until he felt like hunting. He would do some later on today, but as of right now he would just relax. The grey tabby Maine Coon mix settled down near a patch of the sun. Thornleaf just adored the sun and was glad it was finally out.

Weaselskip was out and about, the warrior just returning from her battle training with that intriguing new apprentice... Lilypaw? Yeah, that was about right. She did feel completely beaten up though, the former Shadowclan warrior was no weak pushover by any means despite their demoted status. Despite feeling wrecked, she wanted to go out on a hunt, not liking to spend her time sleeping or drowsing. It wasn't in her nature. Tail flicking she walked over to, who was it, Thornleaf? What a weird name. Hmph. Hers was weird too. But did thorns really have leaves? Yet then you could ask the questions if weasels did skip along the ground. She didn't know either. So approaching them she flopped onto the ground in dramatic fair and rolled onto her stomach staring them directly into their eyes. "Wanna go hunting lazybones? Or are you too busy soaking up this wonderful sun and refusing to get along with my oh so pretty self?"

His ears flicked as he heard something about a run, and the tom stopped in his pacing, considering for a moment. He usually didn't enjoy going on runs with his clanmates... they just slowed him down, but he supposed this one time couldn't hurt. "I'll go." He meowed as he padded up to Cloudfluff, giving her a small half-smile and a nod.

"Oh, yay!"Cloudfluff grinned, and then started to bounce out of the camp. When she was on the moor, she gave a chase to a group of rabbits. "HAHAAAAAAA!" She called to the prey, and bit down on the biggest one's neck. "Too slow!" She muttered, her tail lashing playfully. She carefully buried the prey, and dashed around the moor, looking for rabbits, or any stray birds.

Seedkit jumped when she heard a kit pad up to her. The little kitten hid her face in the shadows. "Hey.", she meowed in a weird way. She talked differently then most cats and that was due to her crooked muzzle and nose.

Nightkit watched as Seedkit moved her head into the shadows. "You don't need to h-hide your face," he said, scolding himself for stuttering. "Everyone's d-different." He looked at her crooked muzzle. "A-and wouldn't it be boring if we were all th-the same?" Nightkit took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, trying to stop stuttering, though that was just who he was. He paused, realizing he was basically doing the opposite of what he was saying to her. "I, uh, stutter a lot. It's n-nothing physical, but it's part of what m-makes me, me."

But needing to focus, she shook her head in frustration. Every other word out of Weaselskips mouth seemed like some kind of complement. It could also serve as an apparently great distraction for someone like her not use to it.

Thank the stars she is never going to actually meet Weasel on the battlefield as an opponent. Lilypaw doesn't know what would be worse, dying from catching fire in her shocked embarrasment, or being so distracted by words she's never had to deflect before that she gets a claw to the throat.

"I have not actually had a training session with the warrior in charge of me yet, so I only have what i already know to work off of." she informed.

"But yes...I agreed to learn your ways." she conceded to her lecture. She hummed then.

"Should you find yourself in a fight with any Shadowclan warrior, there is more than sneak attacks you will have to watch out for she admitted. A part of her worried if it was wise to talk about her home clan and their own ways. But she was Windclan now, and she wanted to serve and protect this clan more than she ever had her own home. Letting them be prepared after such hardships and Icestars play for power seemed wiser than staying silent.

The demoted she-cat listened intently to Weaselskips words. Her mind trying to work out what she knows, what she can adapt in open grounds, and what she will honestly just have to make up on the fly. An idea formed, and Weasel told her to knock her down.

The calico recalled the way the Windclan cats ran and changed up her stance a bit before bolting to the grey warriors side. However, instead of running right past, the molly twisted her body, digging her front claws into the ground and used the momentum to lift her back legs to aim a kick out at Weaselskips side.

Weaselskip needed more battle fighting lessons. She really really needed more battle lessons. She was so goddamn awful at this! And that was why the hit from the Shadowclan warrior once again hit her side... How was she meant in truth to teach someone who were better than you? She wanted to flop on the ground in her extremely dramatic way but the older 'apprentice' would probably not 'appreciate' said gesture. She was over extremely tired of constantly getting hit. It was bash, bash, bash on her always. Was it meant to be this always? Someone should've expected a warrior with Weaselskip's build and fiery attitude to be successful at fighting, however her extremely uncoordinated legs when interacting with others kept screwing her over and making her trip and fall... And that was not exactly something you wanted when you were fighting. "Good job, little pretty flower!" she called out nonetheless. "Didn't knock me over though, just gave me a good hit to the side." That hurt more than she was willing to admit. But despite being knocked down, she was here to teach not to complain, and she would do that, shaking the dust out of her fur and continuing to move. "I am not the best at battle training, which seems to be quite obvious, pretty flower" she let out a small laugh at that, "but I am more focused on how you move. By digging your claws in so deep, you're making yourself stuck," and with that she sped around the she-cat and in a quick move was aiming herself for the she-cat's back.
