I know that is difficult for you with your size." Icestar also noted Badgerpaw's lack of tail--that alone made her look much smaller, if she couldn't use her tail to make herself look bigger. Really, the large black she-cat didn't think this little apprentice would stand a ghost of a chance against a fox. But, that's why training sessions existed.

"Foxes are bigger than you, which means they are slower. Use that to your advantage. Tell me, what is one advantage you, a small cat, have against a tall, slow predator?" She hoped Badgerpaw would be able to answer this one properly. She wanted to at least see if the little cat knew anything at all before she launched into full combat training.

[ SO SORRY for the long wait!! it got buried when i was rlly busy, but im free now if you still want to continue!]

"Oh." Badgerpaw mumbled, awkwardly rising to her paws, only to quickly drop down at Icestar's next question. An advantage for small-sized cats? Did such a thing even exist? Shifting her weight side to side as she thought, Badgerpaw let her mind wander. Her ear flicked irritably after a few moments of silence. I have to say something!

"Um...would my agility count? Foxes are fast, but not as agile as felines. And they're kinda dumb..." Badgerpaw pipped up, still shifting her weight nervously on the occasion. "I also assume I would be harder to hit, since I'm such a small target...right?" She looked up at Icestar with hopeful and clueless eyes.

So, with an elegant air about her, the ginger she-cat made her way towards Cascadespirit, giving him a friendly smirk. “I’m ready!” She purred, not able to hide her excitement at the prospect of a simple patrol.

Cascadespirit's eyes grew excited as Strawberrythorn spoke, swishing his tail in eagerness. He looked around. "Looks as if Jaywing isn't going to show. C'mon then." And with that, he rushed out of camp.

Shadestripe padded into the Leader´s den, feeling oddly calm. Bearpaw was not with him: He had told the young tom to hide outside of camp so he could get a chance to explain the situation to Icestar. He laughed inwardly. Starclan, If Bearpaw had followed me in, he´d be ripped to shreds! His green eyes searched the shadows of the den, at first unable to see Icestar because of her dark coloring. When he spotted her, he sat down and called out; ¨Icestar. I need to speak with you.¨ I hope she´s not in a bad mood. then again, it doesn´t really matter. She wouldn´t let anger cloud her mind. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, awaiting a response.

Shadestripe might have just overestimated Icestar.

Oh well.

"Alright, let's go," Daintybird demanded, under her breath inaudibly adding an irked "you oafish lump" as she essentially tried to body-slam this stranger the rest of the way into Icestar's den. It wasn't a shock to see Shadestripe already inside, as Daintybird had watched a part of the scene unfold from the clearing: the medicine cat slithering away into here while leaving his baggage in the clearing.

It had been questionable but not alarming, at least until the RiverClan stink hit her nose. Daintybird didn't trust Shadestripe, and much less some RiverClan warrior he was bringing in. Now that she'd stuffed him into the den, Daintybird shoved to the front with haughty mutters of, "Move, move, I'm here."

Puffing her chest to stand taller, Daintybird met Icestar's gaze. "Icestar," she spoke with a side-eye toward Shadestripe, "I'm afraid we have an intruder in the camp." RiverClan, obviously. He reeked of it. "Though Shadestripe may disagree, since it seems he invited it in."

"I'm not even fighting you, quick shovin'! Hey, wait, no don't –" Bearpaw whimpered as Daintybird practically threw him into the den, landing flat on his face. Great StarClan! For a such tiny lady, she can pack a punch... Picking himself off the ground, the poor RiverClanner shamefully faced everyone crammed inside. He smiled sheepishly up at the so-called medicine cat, who told him to stay hidden outside the camp, but the smile quickly faded when he laid eyes on a large dark feline. "Oh, heh...hello. Full den, huh? You must be Frozenfacestar?" Bearpaw mewed, straightening himself, before dipping his head respectfully.

When the blame was turned towards Shadestripe, Bearpaw kept quiet, stiffly turning his attention to Icestar when it was her turn to speak. His pelt puffed up embarassingly when he realized his mistake. Shadestripe? Icestar? Geez, I need to keep up with these names. I could have sworn her name was Frozenface or something.

"Very good," Icestar praised flatly, giving her apprentice a nod. "Since you are small, you have speed and agility on your side. Use that to outwit the fox." She squared herself up to look impossibly larger and readied her attack stance.

"Alright, pretend I'm a fox. React quickly and efficiently. Now!" The leader tensed her muscles and sprang at the smaller cat, aiming to pin her to the ground by her shoulders. She knew Badgerpaw was a timid creature, and did not expect her to get it right on the first try.

Icestar's ears perked up at the sound of Shadestripe entering her lair.
"At last, you've returned. What news have you brought me?" She asked, her voice piqued with a tone of interest. Her face instinctively scrunched into a vicious snarl when she then caught a sickening whiff of RiverClan scent, and she only allowed her pelt to flatten a bit when she heard Daintybird's shrill voice.

Heard, specifically, because she could barely see her little warrior from behind the massive clod of fur that had just blocked off all light from the entrance to the den.
"What in StarClan's name is this about?" she hissed ferociously, eyes darting from Shadestripe to Bearpaw. Her rage only ingnited further when Bearpaw opened his big, stupid mouth. Frozenfacestar? Frozenfacestar! Are you kidding me!?

"LIONSTAR!" The huge she-cat yowled, thinking she knew exactly what was going on. "You'd better explain yourself right quick, you absolute oaf! That's Icestar to you! What, did Yellowbelly just send you here to make sure I get humiliated in front of my clan once more? Hmm? What other business could a mangy otter have on my land?" She was seething with rage and hatred. She could normally keep her composure a bit better than this, but it was just the sheer influx of things all happening at the same time, all contrasting each other so greatly, that just sent her neurons firing all over the place. She was practically steaming with fury.

Crowtail moved over to a corner in the clan clearing, watching to make sure the patrols were going out. They won't want to disobey him when he was in his foul mood. The tom was tired of cats not listening to him. The black tom was also tired of those cats who sit and do absolutely nothing. It mostly tired him when they don't do anything all day. If a cat had already been hunting then he was fine with it.

The Shadowclan deputy looked around the clearing, his eyes glowing in the dark with anticipation. Crowtail was starting to feel like his old self again from when he wasn't a shadowclan cat, which was good since he needed to start being more tougher on cats.

'Should I go out for another hunt. Maybe I'll go by myself and get some fresh air.', the deputy thought. The tom stood up and crept out of the shadows, so that his clanmates could see his face. The white spot on his chest was the only white part he had on his entire body. It was strange, but normal for his cat breed.

(Since this rp is getting quiet I believe the kittens have been bumped up a moon so I think this rp can get more active.)

(I was waiting for Rose to respond but He hasn't answered yet...)

Fawnpetal woke up, her motherly instinct told her to make sure her kits were okay. "They are getting so big!" She Thought in astonishment. What was it, 1 moon ago they were the size of her paw! They had grown twice their size in a moon, which was amazing to her. She thought about waking them up, but decided not to. She was just so bored, she had no idea what to do. Then she heard a few rumbles. "Everyone's hungry" She thought. She wondered where Blackcover was, She hadn't seen him for the whole day. Which was unlike him. She wanted to call out to him to come, but then the kits would wake up. Fawnpetal, as much as she wanted too, would never wake them up. Fawnpetal started to groom Minkkit, Nightkit, and Honeykit simultaneously to try to wake them up, without scaring them.
