Don't expect you to know what you're doing, and that's okay! I was planning on taking you out when we had more time... Sorry." The apology was half-assed, but a smile surely would help her case. Sending one Lionpaw's way, she wastes little time in seeing what prey was about. Sniffing around, she discovers that the deputy was right in his prediction- There was more prey around here than the rest of the chilly moor for sure!
"Thankfully we won't be out long, and then I can show you what we're doing now! But be careful, will you? Mind your step!"
The warrior turns her focus more on the hunt then- Shutting Lionpaw out, something she regretted a little but felt the urgency of needing prey more strongly. She would blame this on Breezebutt!
[ I'm really sorry this is so lame and bad but Arie will kill me if i dont report this jfsnfd @Mumble ]

Lionpaw bounded out alongside Eldersky, her eyes wide in wonder. Wow! There was so much to see! So much to do! When they arrived at the Swooping Cliffs, she gazed around hesitantly before carefully padding on, wary of the steep drops littering the ground. She may be impulsive, but even she knew that one wrong step could get you hurt - or worse! At the thought, the thick-furred apprentice felt a small shiver go down her spine. Yikes! When her mentor started speaking, she was briefly distracted by the impending doom that was just ahead of her. Ears pricking, she stamped her paws indignantly on the ground, ¨I know what i'm doing! I already know how to hunt an' everything! Don't worry, i know!¨ She huffed, her smile confident. She got this! As her mentor started sniffing the air, she did too. And, to her delight, there were just so many good smells around! Lots an' lots of em, too! Settling on watching Eldmentor first then trying, she slowly followed the other she-cat around, though still making sure to keep her distance, as not to distract her.
[its totally fine! I completely understand haha]

Sagebrook stood up, glancing around. It was certainly a shame that so many patrols had failed to do their jobs; although it was with a spark of satisfaction that she noticed Stripeseed was among the miscreants. But she was determined that she wouldn't fail her clan.

Where were her patrol partners? Her sage-green gaze swept the clearing, light gray tabby tail whisking the dust. Her paws were itching to get started.

[/B]He still really hated this part of the job but it had to be done... or else he would be failing in his place as deputy and he couldn't let the clan down like that.

Guilt gnawed at Stripeseed like a rock sitting in his belly. How had he gotten so off-track? Gruffly, he pushed through the gathered cats to approach Breezefeather.

"I'm-- sorry, Breezefeather." He forced down his pride in favor of assisting his Clan. "We did start out on the patrol; Twitchpaw and I caught a hare near the training moor. Seedheart came along with us as well. There were no other incidents."

Tail between his legs, the lanky tortie stood before his deputy. With all your talk about young cats these days, you can't even run a proper patrol. The biting comment-- even in his own ears-- stung. He knew things were bad when he started rebuking himself.

"I was born like this. What about you? Why does your face look all weird!", she snapped. Berrykit's day had been ruined by this kit. Now she just wanted to go back to sleep. No wonder why she didn't get up and move around.

(Don't mind her shes a lazy grump)

[ohhhhh, finch is the exact same haha]

Gasp! Oh no she DIDNT! She did NOT just call her face WEIRD. Oh ho ho, what a turn! Finchkit gasped loudly before sticking her face right in front on Berrykit's, blatantly ignoring the other kits personal space. She was about to get what was coming to her! ¨Well, you were born weird! Smushy faces are weird!¨ She shot back, wide hazel eyes staring right into those of berrykits. That sure showed her, for sure! She was untouchable! ¨I dont have a weird face, you do! And im always right, so ha!¨ She remarked, sticking out her tongue in a mocking way. Wow was she great! She was super good at this!

"Sagey! Let's go go go!" Radishpaw bounced. "I bet I'll catch a lot!" Because I'm a amazing hunter! She thought. I'll do the best! I'll try and Deerpawn here won't beat me! She smiled. "When are we leaving when are we leaving when are we leaving!" Radishpaw dashed around.

Late afternoon sun drew little Rainkit out of the nursery. The sun looked so warm and cozy, perfect for playing in! Most cats in the nursery were napping or relaxing but Rainkit was to board for that. Bouncing out of the nursery the slender black kitten looked around for a cat to appoint as her playmate. She guessed warriors wouldn’t want to play any of her games so Rainkit looked for a younger cat. Any cat would do, stager or friend she didn’t mind just as long as they played with her.

Spotting a tortoiseshell cat Rainkit ran over to her, in the process jumping at the apprentice. What better way than to start playing? “Hey! Hi!” Rainkit announced her presences loudly. “Do you wanna play with me? We can play tag, or ShadowClan attack, or maybe just wrestle! Or oh! Oh! We could play fox and warrior!” The young molly suggested grinning at the ideas. She was sure this would be fun and quite confident that this apprentice would play with her, why wouldn’t she? Games were so fun it was silly not to play them.

“Oh, yeah! I’m Rainkit! Who are you?” Rainkit asked realizing she didn’t know the tortoiseshell’s name. She really did need to learn who her Clanmates where, huh? She only really knew some of the cats in the nursery along with Twilightstar, Breezepelt, Coldamber, and Snailswirl but that was only because they were mentioned a lot being the high ranks and all. Anyway, she had plenty of time to learn them all though. Her whole life was ahead of her! So, she could take her time learning cats’ names. It wasn’t to important.

Lionpaw was BORED. Bored beyond belief! There was just nothing fun to do! Yotebug was out training (without her!) and even Eldmentor was nowhere to be seen! The travesty! The sheer betrayal! Throwing her front paws up in the air, she flopped onto her back, rolling around in the dirt. Well, there had to be something to do! For the first time in...who knows how long, she sent a plead up to starclan. Please send her something to do! Anything! Looking around gleefully, she spotted a kit bounding towards her! Her prayer was answered! Oh, this must be a sign that she was gonna make a new friend! Rolling back onto her paws, she wiggled her hind-quarters in an exaggerated hunters crouch before leaping out in an attempt to playfully tackle Rainkit. ¨RAH!¨ she exclaimed, grinning widely. ¨I AM THE GREAT LIONSTAR!¨ She announced loudly, puffing her chest out in pride. Sure, she wasn't actually a leader (yet), but she will be eventually! For now, though, she was LIONSTAR! The fearsome leader of Windclan!

Her eyes fluttered shut before snapping open as the scent. The WindClan leader staggered her paws and shook out her coat before leaving her den behind, eyes honing in on the molly that just walked in. She looked very round, pregnant? It seemed like her nose wasn't wrong.
"Stormstrike," her tone of voice was collective and calm as she-cat walked straight up to her. She's been gone for a while, she wasn't so round the last Twilightstar saw her and she didn't recall her having a mate? Or did she? It was hard to say. "That's great to hear, where are you back from?" Twilightstar gazed at the molly's belly with some curiosity but wouldn't question it too much if at all unless she felt it needed to become her business.

The dazed mollys ears pricked a bit at the question, and she sat down in front of the leader to catch her breath briefly before opening her mouth to answer. Where was she? That was quite hard to say. Even she didn't quite know the answer to that. Though...she knew that she was expected to at least answer with something. Stormstrike stared the leader in the eyes, gaze barely wavering, ¨I'm...not really sure i have an answer for that. But what i can say with certainty is that I was on a walk, and i felt something...a pull, if you will. Following it, i was lead to the outskirts. By then, a migraine had started growing, but i ignored it.¨ She slowly mewed, keeping her voice as steady as possible. Taking a couple deep breaths, she continued, ¨As I went, the headache kept growing, to the point where i was on the brink of blacking out. Still, I kept going. Why, I have no idea, but for some reason, i didn't question it. Eventually, i ended up actually blacking out. It has something to do with my pregnancy, i'm sure. I think i was out for around a day or two, and when i came to i was incredibly dazed, to the point where i could barely get up without toppling back over. When i was able to walk some-what consistently, i realized i was...lost. I know you've heard that hundreds of times, but this time I can assure you that its true.¨ She finished, closing her maw and waiting for what the leader had to say in response.

Wolffang padded back to camp, some fish hanging from his jaws. The smell was terrible, hitting the back of his throat and making him want to gag. The stinky fish could be saved for the former Outsiders and whoever else weirdly liked them. His paws were wet, yet he was somewhat proud of himself: he’d taught himself and Tidepaw how to do something not in their training. As he made his way over to Breezefeather, he realized with a jolt that he was late. Again? Oh, StarClan, he could feel his reputation dropping. Rolling his eyes - at himself - he gestured with his head for Tidepaw to come on. Then he padded to the deputy, sliding a little in his broad wet paws. He hated getting wet.
Once he had approached the deputy, Wolffang dropped the fish and dipped his head to him. “Hello, Breezefeather,” he meowed. “We caught some fish.” He didn’t know whether to be annoyed or proud by this factor. After all, WindClan cats didn’t fish. But then he knew better than to annoy the deputy, so he paused, waiting for either Tidepaw or Breezefeather to say something.

Tidepaw nodded, a smaller fish hanging from his jaws, and the spiky fur on his back sticking up a lot from the water on his fur. He hated getting wet, but he knew it was worth it, even though they were late "Sorry we're late", he mumbled, wrinkling his nose from the smell of the fish. He was determined not to be late next time.
