dreampaw beamed. she'd made him chuckle!!! repeat: SHE'D MADE HIM CHUCKLE!!! she felt so... accomplished. look at her go! "sitty thingy = hunty crouch.. sitty thingy = hunty crouch," she murmured to herself to help her remember, still amazed that this was working. when blackpaw used his nose to position her paws, dreampaw's heart died. this was it. this was the end. goodbye world. her heart couldn't take it, plus he had such a nice nose. it was so.... blackpaw-y! "thankkk youuuuuu, blackpawwwww!!~" she exclaimed. oh, he didn't need to tell her. she was very much paying attention to her surroundings. mostly to blackpaw, since he was technically part of her surroundings, and she was definitely paying attention to him.

hmm.. she wiggled herself into position, then started doing as he'd instructed. step. step. step. bONK. gah, oops. she hadn't noticed the biG TREE in front of her. that wasn't there before!! there was some wicked evil trying to SABOTAGE her plans!!! "i did that on purpose!!! just making sure i.... can still feel stuff bonking on my head!! to make sure i can stay alert and stuff, obVIOUSLY!!"

"Blackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkpeeeeelllllllllllllllllt. Where arrrrrrrrrrrre yooooooooooou?" Forestfrost had brough Blazestep back to camp, and needed someone to lift his spirits,
--
"Forestfrost! You're scaring all the prey away from here! What is it?"
"Well," he looked sheepish, "I was walking along the border, and I saw this cute Thunderclan she-cat. Her name is Morninglily."
"I know Morninglily! She's so nice! If she was in Shadowclan, you two would probably be mates."
--
"Well, er," Forestfrost didn't know how to say that he wanted Morninglily to be his mate right now,
--
"What is it Forestfrost? You know you can tell me anything. That's what best friends are for!"
--
"Well... I went to see her one night. Not on any territories of course." he hastily added, "ANd she is really nice. What I'm trying to say is, well I want her to be my mate. Now."
--
Blackpelt was stunned, "Wha-? Forestfrost. I am not hooking the two of you up. You had your one night in paradise, that's it."

“No problem.” He said. He couldn’t help but laugh when she bonked her head on the tree before quickly stopping, “Your surroundings Dreampaw.” he said in a tone that wasn’t mean but still meant that she needed to remember. “Come on, try again.”

Right, how could she have forgotten? their original meeting place was a much better place to wait for him-- since it was their original meeting place. Maybe she should consider getting more sleep after all, if that wasn't just an excuse for having forgotten about it. Oh well, "ri-right! le-et's go th-then" Nightpaw answered before padding of with a small smile, feeling less worried at the thought of the meeting place. If anything, Fallenheart might already be there and looking for them! Fallenheart… yeah, he was Jaypaw's mentor if she remembered correctly; a quick thought that flew threw her mind as they walked.

To no surprise it wasn't long before Nightpaw found herself taking in the sight of their surroundings, specifically the trees, and getting lost in some small thoughts. "d-do yo-ou thi-think Fa-llenhea-heart m-might al-already be the-ere?" she eventually questioned the other white apprentice. Giving it more thought, it was less likely the warrior would unles having taken a de-tour, but it still was possible nevertheless. But either way, they'd find out soon; the molly recognized the area and knew that they were close- close to where she had buried her mouse atleast, it was on the way.
So once they got in sights reach of the tiny spot, Nightpaw padded ahead to get the piece of prey. She didn't find it right away, to say the least, but eventually she did and that was what mattered. Digging up the lifeless mouse body and carefully picking it up, she padded a few steps back to Frostpaw, still unable to hide that she was very happy with the catch.
Now, all was left was Frostpaw's bird and Fallenheart- hopefully unharmed.

"The door won't budge.."

The apprentice meowed, saddened he hadn't been able to do anything.

[One Question, how do you plan Beastspark to be captured? You said for everybody that goes out to get captured and not be able to escape so-]

Beastspark gave a frustrated growl when it didn't seem Whitepaw had enough strength to push the door open. He knew how the opening and closing of the twoleg kittypet entrances work so this had to do it. However, unlike earlier, he did feel the opening move a bit. "Try pushing it with your weight, not ramming." He meowed to the tom. "Lean in with all your weight.

(Beast ain't getting capture, as soon he's done with this he's gathering a few cats from the clan and heading to the outskirts with Frecklepaw leading the way since he escaped from where the cats are being held.
Door should open, by the way, Beast is pushing on the lock.)

[nocturnal]

"Perhaps," Frostpaw replied to Nightpaw's question. The tom wasn't sure, although it seemed fairly likely. He and Nightpaw had spent a lot of time hunting and walking. It had slipped his mind that Fallenheart might already be waiting for them. If that was the case, then... whoops. He should've decided to go straight back to the designated meeting place instead of attempting to scent the warrior and dragging Nightpaw along with him.

The white apprentice caught Nightpaw's smile as she dug up her mouse and he let a smirk curl up his maw in return. There was a certain nice feeling associated with meeting checkpoints that he couldn't name. Few things beat the pride of a first catch. Even Frostpaw, who had been terrified out of his pelt while trying to kill that snake, had felt a jolt of pride, no matter how small and sudden it had been.

Soon enough, the two apprentices reached the area where Frostpaw had buried his bird. He hadn't tried to make conversation along the way - it would be a bit difficult for Nightpaw to respond with a mouse between her jaws. The white apprentice dug up his bird quickly, then meowed, "We're almost at the clearing." He lifted up the skylark, careful of its wings, then began walking again, motioning with his tail for Nightpaw to follow.

Elsewhere, a dark tabby leapt along swiftly through the trees. He was getting closer. Fallenheart could tell that he was traveling faster than the two apprentices. Their scents lingered in certain areas, as if they were stopping for something. From the turned earth on the ground - remnants of holes - the warrior assumed that they were digging up buried prey. Smart apprentices, they were. Fallenheart had been right that they could be trusted to themselves without any stray eyes watching.

Two forms appeared up ahead and Fallenheart mentally grinned. There they were - and it seemed that they were heading back to the original meeting place. Good decision. The warrior's scent must've been too vague for them to track him down, so they resorted to waiting for him instead.

The black tabby pounced down from the final tree before the clearing and dropped the bushy, red squirrel from his mouth. Fallenheart smiled at the two apprentices. "Sorry about that - as you might have noticed, I got a bit too caught up in my own chase. Not very responsible of me, I know. Hopefully, you two didn't worry too much or anything."

You just push off the ground and then you're in a different spot on the ground. "Don't need perfection, just good enough." He mumbled, trying to go unheard. He glanced towards the fern Lightbubble directed towards, lowering back into the crouch he'd been instructed to do. Moving his paws a bit before he started moving, he set his sights on the crinkly green plant. It took a moment to get his legs moving in a way that left his pawsteps silent, but when he got into it it became natural, gliding along the ground with little sound. When he figured he was close enough to reach in a leap, he readied himself, flexing his muscles in anticipation. In one swift push of his hind legs, he was launched forward, his front paws landing just ahead of the fern. He landed, his paws skidding forward. "Huh?"

"Denying perfection is denying the hard work to get there." Lightbubble meowed, tilting his head a little. "And that's not exactly the best way to become a warrior but well... you do you kid." The creamy tom shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He would give advice and wise words but he wasn't going to force them upon Littlepaw. If the tom wanted to be "just good enough," then that was his problem and his thing to deal with. Not Lightbubble's.
The tom fell silent to watch his apprentice pounce at the fern, his ears flattening as he missed the fern. "Well, if you're aiming to kill your prey by squishing it, then do it that way." Lightbubble meowed, glancing at the ferns now crushed underneath Littlepaw's stomach and back legs. "If you want to jump with more power like that, then the aim is to jump higher and land closer and harder. Not jump farther and land softer. Your goal is to stalk as close to the prey as you can, you know. So you don't have to jump like that and possibly twist a leg." Lightbubble twitched his tail, glancing around before pointing his paw towards a clump of wildflowers. "Try that one now. Remember, get close, and jump less."

She glanced down her slightly swollen stomach, a small bite to her lil. "I've had kittens. Not recently but they're safe with their father. I've just... been travelling, Dogpaw joined me recently and it's been nice. It made me crave my family... It made me crave seeing you again," She meowed her heavy words, a small motherly lick to Scorchpaws forehead.

"KITTENS?" Scorchpaw yowled in surprise, glancing at Houndsong's stomach for a moment with wide eyes before looking back up at her. "Again? You seem to just keep getting yourself into trouble huh?" He laughed, though it wasn't quite at Houndsong, just a laugh about the situation. "Isn't Dogpaw that one cat who just like... hated everyone for no reason at all?" Scorchpaw meowed at the mention of her name, tilting his head a bit. "But yes... family is good... At least the one's you've got left!" He smiled at this though he could feel a bit of the sadness pressing in the back of his mind. His parents were gone, they were family but now... they weren't around. His family was small and very sparse.

[gotcha' c:]

A chuckle arose from his maw at his spunky and excited apprentice. "Haha, almost have it," a small fib but who can it hurt? "I'll demonstrate for you." The big warrior lowers down his embodiment where the blades of grass almost touch his stomach, paws kept close together, and tail straight and still in the air. He focused on a rock, imagining its prey and launch forward, smacking his paw against it. If it was real, that would've been the end of that prey. "Okay, try to copy that and do it a couple of times if you can."

Houndsong chuckled softly at the generalisation of her daughter. She hummed, shaking her hear with a fun smile. "Oh she had her reasons... just needed someone close to her, someone stable. Dogpaws getting better," She said with a chirp, starting to groom Scorchpaw as she fell back into her own motherly ways towards him. "The kittens are thriving! Maybe one day you'll meet them," She hummed happily, her energetic exterior beginning to settle now she had a reason to.
