WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Pluto]

[ @Beau @Wings @Socks @space ace. - sorry for taking so long! ]

The kit was glad for the sudden milk filling her belly. Though she was young she felt like her stomach yearned for the amount of food a full grown cat much older than herself would receive and eat. She ate until she was full, and then some. While her mother might think of the kit greedy, she was in fact just glad for food and attention she was receiving. And then she was too full too eat anymore and she was left without attention. Her Littermate began mewling beside her, and from the lack of attention and chilly pelt, she began mewling loudly like before with her. Maybe this would get her more attention than before and she could finally be warm and rest.

Ummm well, I plan on taking Reedpaw training soon, he seems like a very nice apprentice...i-i hope." She meowed. Cloudfluff looked at the tom, then smiled. "Hm, can I make him my friend?" She thought curiously. "I hope so, he seems nice."

"Yep, the one and only." Quicksilver laughed a bit, not surprised that the she-cat had known that fact. Pumapaw made it loud and clear to everyone that she was mentored by Quicksilver, the so-called "worst mentor ever" and an "annoying mouse-brained idiot." Thankfully at this point Quicksilver could care less what she called him. His social interactions never went very far anyways, so Pumapaw spoiling them right from the start with her biased opinions actually saved him some awkward conversations and frustration.
At the mention of Cloudfluff's apprentice, Quicksilver perked his ears, nodding a bit in response as he sat himself next to one of the tree trunks, scratching his back against it. "Maybe we should do like... a joint training session some time? I think you and Pumapaw would have quite a lot of fun together. And Reedpaw and I can be... bros, maybe?" Great Starclan Quicksilver, why are you so cringey? The silver tom hadn't used lingo like that since his young warrior moons. It sounded really weird coming out of his mouth now. But he simply just gave a small smile and shrug, waiting for Cloudfluff to respond to his offer. Hopefully she hadn't picked up on his weird phrase.

That was always when it got complicated.... A not so forced smile twitched at her muzzle with his joke. He had done well enough so far. With his suggestion she nodded patting the ground beside her. It would be nice to hang out with someone... even if they made it awkward and she didn't know him. Silentwhisper wasn't really sure what to do after that. This would most likely continue to be awkward. Good going Silent, your just adding to the awkwardness...

Snakewillow relaxed just a bit, his nervous laughter easing up. It especially helped when he noticed a smile pulling at her lips at his joke. So he wasn’t just talking to a wall, that was good. Taking the sign and sitting down closer to his Clanmate, Snakewillow took a bite of his meal, not really noticing the lingering awkwardness. With a quick deep breath, he started. "Well, I’ll tell ya a bit about myself, I guess. Might as well." Gesturing for her to start eating, he spoke. "Mm, what am I supposed to start with, 'I’m a WindClan warrior?' Like you didn’t know that." he laughed at his own joke quietly. "Erm, I’m going to be having some kits here soon, that’s news. I just hope I’m a good dad for ‘em. Whis— my, uh, mate doesn’t exactly like the idea, but I’m sure she’ll warm up to ‘em, aha..." At least, he hoped she’d warm up to them. Poor kits. "Anything big going on with you?" He would try his best to understand whatever she’d communicate to him. She may not be able to talk, but he wanted to make Silentwhisper know that he cared about what she had to "say".

Snakewillow huffed softly. Her logic may have been... extremely harsh, but at least he could name the last two kittens. Their pelts mimicked his, but that didn’t mean he loved them any more than Scrapkit. The poor thing.

Although they were still shivering and damp, he could tell a difference between his two remaining daughters. Turning his attention toward the kitten with nearly the exact same pelt as him, he made sure to fully groom her and let out soft purrs to reassure the kit. She wasn’t quite making a good case for herself. Hopefully his care would quiet her wails. Once he was finished, he gently put the kit down next to her mother. "Nightingalekit,” he said quietly. "They’re shrill and annoying, right?" Snakewillow hoped she’d take that as his reasoning, though he was lying. He felt Nightingale fit this kitten not only because she was loud, but because she was strong and would prove herself. So he hoped.

Flinging yet again when the last unnamed kit began wailing, he immediately picked her up and began grooming her. Doing about the same for her, he decided on a name. "Magpiekit." He didn’t feel a need to explain this one. Magpies were relatively ordinary birds, though he hoped she would outgrow her name in that sense.

Finally, that left Scrapkit. Dear, Snakewillow had to find a better nickname for her. Picking her up, he made sure to dry her off and give her just a bit of extra attention before setting her down with her siblings. He assumed Whisperwillow was about fed up with him, so he began to crawl out. "I’m leaving, unless you want me to stay, Whisperwillow. Take care." 'of them,' he’s wanted to add.

Those poor kittens.

Cedarpaw smiled, he was just so sweet! "Why wouldn't I?" she mewed. "So, quillkit, how has your day been?" she politely asked him. Sure, they were friends now, but that didn't mean she couldn't be polite!

Cloudfluff erupted in giggles. "I'm sure Reedpaw would love you--well, not love you, but you get what I mean." The molly giggled again. "But sure, that sounds great! Errr, lets hope Pumapaw doesn't ummm get...aggressive?"
Cloudfluff sat by the tree. As long as it wasn't multiple, she was fine. Cloudfluff looked at the pretty tom, and admired his pelt.

Basilpaw nodded,” That’s fair.“ she meowed gazing into his eyes unsure of what to say.

"T-Thank you for bringing me t-th-the bird but uh, I don't know. I should be helping the clan, not hiding away..." He breathed the heavy words out as he started to pluck the bird, pushing some of the softer feathers into the elders den for his nest later.

Breezefeather nodded and let out a small breath. "Everyone needs to take their time to settle in. Your anxiety, I assume?" he didn't want to judge wrongly but for this... example... theory to work properly he would have to just carry on, "will probably cause you more troubles if you start up with your duties. Hunting is not without it risks, and as you probably already know, require focus. That's what you'll be lacking if you don't take this time off to just... calm down. Get a hold on your problems and try to turn it into a strength rather than a weakness." He hoped what he was saying made sense and nodded at the feathers, "if you want to try to at least be of some use, once you've finished plucking feathers for your own nest, I know there are probably some kits and queens who might appreciate them too. If you do want to that is."

@wren @Rainquail

The tabby watched silently as the Medicine Cat placed his leaves down. Looking up at Shockpaw for a few moments before shooting the other a smile. It felt nice not to be bombarded by a bunch of other Apprentices and Warriors and other Clanmates he didn't really know. That event was a super smart idea by the Deputy and the other pawfull of warriors that helped. It was...well he wasn't sure what was happening and he surely didn't like that Weaselstep or whatever her name was. Bossy. Uppity. Easily getting on his nerves. OH just thinking about it ticked off the usually sleepy feline. His smile was now sour as he pouted thinking about the events. She constantly ignored him! CONSTANTLY!

Letting out a huff he lashed his tail, brows furrowed together. "Okey dokey. Also! Double checking. Marigold's that really pretty yellow flower right?" he asked, tipping his head to the side. Honeypaw was almost positive, but he didn't really trust himself too much, he's been wrong many times before. "Also...we'll probably be very busy, never mind about the honey. It's not like it's going anywhere..." he paused, looking down at his own leaf for a few moments before giving Coyotesnarl a worried glance. "Right?" but before he could hear the answer his companion popped up.

Aggitated expression now melted away as he gave the other Apprentice a smile. "I'd much rather tag along with you...if...if you don't mind that is. Don't really know how to fight all that good yet and....it's still a little scary to go out into the territory alone." he muttered, that last part mostly a whisper beneath his breath.

With a grunt, Aspenbreeze rose to her paws and flicked her tail towards her apprentice, then scanned the crowd to try and find Heatherspirit. Honestly, she couldn't even remember what the feline looked like so.. hopefully. Either way, she made her way towards the entrance of camp,

"Smolderpaw, Heatherspirit, let's go! No slacking. We'll head out towards ThunderClan's border... I've got a hankering for mouse for some reason." Without another word, she made her way out of camp and into the territory.
