He liked meeting cats with a similar background as he did; they were less likely to judge him for being born outside the Clan if they were as well. "I came to the Clan when I was two moons old, two moons ago! My brother came with me." He frowned a moment and looked down. "Our mother died saving us from a dog that was chasing us.

Mistkit shook her head,” I was born in the clan.”she nervously objected hoping it wouldn’t anger him. (Sorry it’s short, on mobile)

No worries

Coonkit ducked his head in embarrassment. He had been listening, despite what she may be thinking after he told her his background and how it was similar to hers. "O-oh, He meowed. "I think I misheard you." He flicked his tail and gave her a sheepish grin. "Well, now you know a little about me!" He tried to lighten his embarrassed mood by an attempt at carefree cheerfulness.

Mistkit nodded a little a bit embarressed that she found herself pointing out his error, she knew it was wrong,” I guess I do.” She mumbled embarrassed that she chose to correct him a little bit. She knew she should have stayed quiet instead. She sighed a little

He had in fact joined the Clan two moons ago, when he was half the age he is now. He and his brother, Hollowkit, both had the lean body and brown and grey fur that many of the WindClan cats had; the two had blended right in once their scent had adjusted to those around them. He couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The moor was his home now. He had thought about the other clans often but was glad that's his mother's had directed the movie to WindClan. Coonkit definitely wouldn't want to live in the trees; they were much too tall, and besides, he liked being able to see the sun.
The young brown tom copied the apprentice, crouching down into his own race-ready position. He tipped his head forward towards a large rock, smoothed down and weathered by the constant wind and rain. "Let's race to that big, smooth rock over there!" Coonkit looked up at her. "You can say when to go." He offered, attempting to be polite. She was older, after all.

Morningpaw followed the tom’s gaze over to the rock and smiled. This would be a pretty short race - but that was fine by her, she was sort of out of practice anyways. ”Ready… set…” She adjusted her own position a little bit, so that she wouldn’t spring forwards quite as fast. She wanted this to be an even match, after all. ”Go!” Morningpaw sprang forwards with less of a headstart than she would have gotten if she hadn’t adjusted her position, and just as she had thought, was thrown off balance. She didn’t quite hit the ground - she was more experienced than that, and managed to catch herself - but it took her a second to regain her balance and continue running. A soft breeze seemed to play with her fur, and gave Morningpaw an overall good feeling. It had been a while since she’d gotten to do this. This was nice, different, it was… something exciting. At last, a little bit of excitement from her boring everyday life - well, it was boring recently - and something that Morningpaw planned to do more often. Maybe it wasn’t her old friends that was the problem, maybe she just needed some new ones.




There were times Pineneedle wondered why he wasn’t more accepting towards his clanmates. After all, they were all on the same team, all supposed to work together… right? But Pineneedle would have preferred that not to be true. He would have preferred that cats split up, little groups within the Clans, so that you could choose who you liked. Of course… Pineneedle knew that a group like that wouldn’t function very well. He was smart enough to know that it was stupid to imagine it could work any other way. And yet, the only cat he voluntarily spent time with (even now) was Adderheart. She’d been his best friends since they were kits. She’d been his best friend since he’d started to feel guilty about using her, and things had changed. He had gotten lucky. Pineneedle was sure that she should’ve walked away and never looked back, choosing to ignore him, to realize that he was bad news. She had saved him, in a way. It had taken Pineneedle a while to change - an insanely long amount of time - but he was different now. He was… better.
He still didn’t like other cats, and he still had a tendency to treat them like dirt when they irritated him, but he no longer used anyone to his advantage. He no longer treated cats he hated with respect, simply because they had something he wanted, and he no longer held his temper in so that he could befriend someone and later ditch them when they had run out of use to him. Adderheart had been too close of a call for Pineneedle to do that again. So yes, she might be the only cat he would voluntarily spend time with, but there was a good reason for that. And that was why now, in the middle of the day, Pineneedle was sitting alone in the clearing, his tail twitching back and forth in the dust, making little patterns and sweeping them away out of boredom.
It had been a while since he’d spoken to Adderheart, and… he wanted to talk to her. It felt like it had been moons since they’d last gotten to play, and although they were warriors now, it didn’t mean that they had to brush their fun aside. They were still allowed to act like kits from time to time, which was something that Pineneedle was grateful for. Only for her. He would only make a fool out of himself for Adderheart - which was why they were best friends. They’d managed to hang on for this long, and they would manage to hang on for longer. He was sure of it.

"I caught three rabbits!" she said. "And together they are a lot bigger than that one of yours!" She didn't want to be mean, but she wanted to see the look on his face when he realized he wasn't the best cat in the world.

Jaggedspring stuck his tongue out. "Only three? Ha, good luck trying to beat my record" He snorted. "I've caught four in one hunting session. My goal is five" He smiled waiting for her reaction to him after continuing to boast.

"Well, I've caught 6 once!" she said. "It was a long time ago, but I did!

Jaggedspring sat out on the moor. He couldn't sit still he was so excited to show his apprentice all he knew. He was also being impatient while waiting for Patchpaw to show up. Jaggedspring murmured "How long does it take for her to get over here? He closed his eyes in hope that when he opened them his apprentice would be here and ready to get started. There was only one thing Jaggedspring was worried about. He was worried that he wouldn't be a great mentor to Patchpaw because he might spend a bit of time bragging, but he shook it off. Jaggedspring thought that if he starts to brag or boast then just shut it off and think about how great his apprentice would do. Shaking off all of his thoughts he got ready to hear his apprentice's paw steps or voice.

"Lier! Your just saying that to make me jealous. I know it. Plus you said it was a long time ago so how do you remember? Huh? Oh that's right you don't"He laughed.

Patchpaw awoke with a fright "oh no I'm late," she said to herself in sheer terror of what may come, she hopped out of her nest and ran as fast as she could to the moor. She searched around for her mentor, Jaggedspring, a spotted tom. Once she saw him she ran towards him. "I'm so sorry I'm late Jaggedspring it won't happen again," she said with sincerity in her voice and apologetic eyes. Her shoulders protruded from her back as she hung her head low; as though she was waiting for a well-meaning lecture. She kept her tail curled tightly around her paws and her ears back wondering how stupid she had to be to be late for the first day of practice.
