The tom huffed and touched noses with the apprentice.

Or she supposed Mushroomkit just wanted to chat with her. She never spent much time with any of the kits, besides Stagkit, when he was younger. "My day has been full of visitors, but nothing too bad. How was your day? Have you taken to any warriors as your future mentor?" Getting comfortable in her nest, the molly rested her chin on her paws while watching the kit. It was nice to have company, even if she wasn't really looking for it.





"I've nothing more that I need at the moment," Twilightstar trilled as she padded over to the freshly made nest and purred softly at how nice it felt. Her ears perked up as she heard about Bravewind."I've yet to do my sweep around the territory, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for her while I'm out." It wasn't uncommon for warriors to get lost or something these days, Twilightstar knew to keep an eye out for them when she patrolled the land.



(I don't have a cat by this name in the clan, make sure you submit them. I don't have an Oakkit either)



Twilightstar peaked behind the warrior and noticed another little guest waiting outside. She waved her tail, beckoning for Sunkit to come and sit with her while Waterpelt spoke. The fear scent was a little concerning.




The lilac she-cat got the feeling that Coldamber was refraining from something, but couldn't say what and she wasn't the type to prop unless it was necessary. So she remained steady on their current predicament and could deal with the other bit later.

"You probably don't remember what that rank entitled." It made her wonder if she'd recall her medicine cat training as the moons went on or if the situation warranted it. Muscle memory was a thing. "There are a number of ranks in a clan, it's functions on a hierarchy of sorts. There are kits, queens, and elders, the ones that are protected and cared for, then there are warriors and apprentices, the ones that do the protecting and the caring. Every clan is led by a leader and that leader is assisted by a deputy. Finally, we have the cats that take care of the clan's health and speak to our ancestors in StarClans, the medicine cats." Twilightstar gave a very basic rundown of the clan's structure.

"You served as WindClan's medicine and you did a splendid job for a time, but since you no longer retrain that knowledge, I think it might be better to have you trained as a warrior. You'd need training, I believe Gulltwist would be the best mentor for you." Stopping there, Twilightstar waited to see how Coldamber took this.




Twilightstar lifted her head and looked over to tom as he entered her den. Moonsoot, not who she was expecting, but a nice face to see nonetheless. A mild smile formed on her maw when he relayed why he was here. "It wasn't your fault, I overexerted myself. A foolish mistake on my part." She explained as she sat up, Twilightstar certainly didn't blame him for that. "You look like you've had a busy day." Commented the leader after observing him for a moment longer. He looked like she did after she spent a day with Stagleech as an apprentice and Rushingmoor. They were fun times, but exhausting.



(Nightkit is currently missing and needs to do a rejoining.)



Her attention was drawn to Duskfrost as he walked in with something on his mind. "Go ahead, I'm listening," Twilightstar replied, curiously.

Sunkit sat and was under twilightstars paws she felt safe under the leader and had a flower in her mouth. She was worried about oakkit and what water had said to her but felt safer. With her dad brightstem and twilightstar

~Darkclaw~

Darkclaw held her head high. “Foxpaw! Dirtpaw! Rowanpaw! Echopaw! Snakepaw!” Darkclaw chanted the new apprentice names.

~Blackmist~

Oh no. He was assigned an apprentice. Blackmist slowly looked around for his new apprentice.

Cloversplash lifted her head with pride. Her first apprentice! Finally!

Rainpaw slipped out of the apprentices den, the moonlight filtering weakly through the clouds above. She sat, off to a corner, her yellow eyes turned towards the cloudy sky. Camp was basically silent at this time. So late the warriors were already asleep. The black apprentice knew she should be asleep, should have gone to sleep not long after sundown. Yet, she couldn't. Rainpaw knew why, she knew exactly why. It was almost a moon old wound, but Littlepaw's death had been the final straw.
She just felt cold. Her heart aching, mind gloomy. Rainpaw hated it, she hated all of it. Yet, after so many things she just couldn't help it. She didn't know what to do, she knew what she wanted to do but couldn't figure out how. How was she to go back to the way things were after so much happened? Her sister, her mother, her friends, they all either left or died. They were gone and she didn't know how she could keep a smile. The smile she had tried to share so much, just wouldn't come back
Her gaze found its way to her paws, studying the grass beneath them. Why was everything so confusing? So, hard... She just wanted to be a great warrior in WindClan, did the Stars have other plans? Did they want her to just, die? She didn't know and that made her want sigh. Things never go like they should. Never

Dovepaw fell behind and arrived later than the warrior, but she wasn't as far behind as her mentor who took just a bit longer even at a brisk walking pace.

Rosepaw decided to stand her ground. "W-well, if you don't get out of my nest, I'll claw you," she said, then quickly added, "only a little."

[Willow_Tree]

Echopaw padded over to her mentor, eyes shining with excitement. She touched noses with the warrior and sat by her.

@Dahliamoon

Rainpaw flinched at the sound of her name. She wasn't paying much attention to the meeting, caught up in her own world. New mentor? Oh. Was that why Hollowstep wasn't training her? He disappeared too, Rainpaw had assumed that the tom just didn't like her. She wasn't the same anymore. Not that she liked that but, she didn't know how to go back.
Stepping forward she forced a smile on her face. "Hi." Rainpaw greeted Cloversplash, her voice quiet. "I promise, I want to be trained, and I still want to be the best warrior in WindClan. So, I really do want to learn." The black furred molly promised, hopping she could learn something. Anything to keep her busy really. She wanted something to keep her mind off of everything it tried so hard to make her focus on.

Cloversplash walked out from the warriors' den, spotting Rainpaw immediately and walking over to sit beside her. "Hey... you doing okay...?" She sensed something wasn't right and tried to keep her voice calm and reassuring.
Rainpaw was her first apprentice, and all Cloversplash wanted to do was make sure she was a good mentor - the very best she could be - but it seemed that any time she saw Rainpaw, she was upset, which Cloversplash felt responsible for. What could she do to distract Rainpaw from Littlepaw's unfortunate death while still making sure she wasn't disregarding her apprentice's feelings?
Cloversplash rested her tail on Rainpaw's back, touching her nose to the younger cat's ear.
