Finchpaw growled and went on her way to camp....

With a long-suffering sigh, Sparrowflight follows behind the two apprentices and hurds them back towards camp and their duties.

[ I'd say this is a good point to close this. Make sure to get your posts done before May 6th! @Silverdream @Rogueheart ]

Jaystride waved his tail in farewell to Bluefox before he went to work, grabbing the nest and pulling it back to camp.

Cindersky
Often she did not come out here, mainly due to the pungent smell and the ominous hissing that could be detected. But as Cindersky exited camp she knew all of her current go-to spots would be tainted. Memories would wash up that she wished to keep at bay and emotions would flare when she needed to have clear thinking. The Mire had been the first option to seemingly have neither of those, so her paws set off from the camp entrance towards the humid bog.

Thoughts ran aplenty in her mind as the tree tops above her swayed in the wind. She was finding it more difficult by the day to avoid the den in which Nectarflame slept. How easily it would be to crawl into it in the darkness and carefully curl up around. . .

No. Any chance she could have had at a life with such bliss flittered out of reach the moment she had declined the branch Nectarflame extended her. And why? Because she wanted what was best for the Clan? Because she wanted to be strong for her Clanmates? Because if they ever found out how much she truly cared for a cat they saw as a traitor...

Shaking her head Cindersky reeled herself back to the present as the scents of the bog danced under her nose. None of the muskrats that cast shadows over this part of the territory were out and about which gave the warrior a sense of relief. A chilly breeze swept up around her, reminding her that they were still very much in newleaf and that greenleaf would not be showing itself anytime soon.

With a soft sigh, Cindersky took a seat on a rather large rock that protruded from the ground and jutted out over the boggy area, her paws sticking out from her as she placed her head onto them. At least she knew that no other cats would venture out here, because as her ears fell back a little and her gaze drooped, the last thing she wanted ThunderClan to see her like was... well, this.

[ open for another warrior or queen! preferably someone cindersky could find herself confiding in and who she's spoken to before ]

~ Beastflame ~
@marni

He didn't usually come here, but today he didn't have much to do with his time, so hunting was a pleasant activity right now. And when it came to hunting, it was always good to switch up where one went, as not to drive out all the prey in other areas. Besides, few patrols would be sent here since apprentices were semi-not-allowed to come here. So the change in scenery was good.

Crouching down, the large russet tom crept through the undergrowth, trying to focus his ears, as well as doing his best to smell anything over the different scent that hanged over this part of Thunderclan. Then his large ears picked up the slight rustle in front and a bit to the right of him. It was a... vole! Yes, that was good prey. Licking his jaws, he began to stalk it, pounced, and caught the little creature in his jaws.

A good catch for a solo patrol. He stood up and shook some leaves and dirt for his already messy fur before starting to head back. But something made him stop and look around with the odd feeling that he wasn't alone. And he wasn't, but it wasn't a badger, fox, or other things that could be bad, no it was Cindersky... alone on a rock?

Since he didn't have any task in mind after this, Beastflame chose to go and talk to her a little bit, she didn't seem too happy anyway. "Hey, Cindersky!" While his voice was cheerful, he refrained both from the nickname his mind had placed on her, as well as the excitement he usually carried with him wherever he went. No, today he was just calm and happy. "How.... ya doin?" Was she sad? She seemed kinda sad. "You... wanna talk, we could share this?" He pointed to the round vole. "Not like Im busy"

Cindersky
Hearing another voice was not something the silver she-cat had expected so it jostled her out of her thoughts as she sat up with a start. Her fur ruffled she turned, only to relax a moment later as she discovered it was Beastflame. "Hello, Beastflame," she returned, though her voice was lackluster at best, try as she might to paint it otherwise. The smile she gave him did not reach her eyes as she shuffled herself into a more seated position.

His catch was surprising around this area - Cindersky usually never had any luck with the prey here - and she found that a broken purr rumbled in her chest shortly before dwindling out. "That is a good catch," she commented with a nod to the vole. As he offered to share it with her, hesitation gripped her. Only for a moment though - because they fresh-kill pile was stocked with the recent patrols and warriors on their solo hunting trips.

"...That sounds lovely." Scooting over just a bit so that her Clanmate could join her on the surface of the rock, Cindersky let out a sigh. "I truly do not mean to worry you... The past moon has just been rather tough." ...Could she confide in the large tom about what troubled her? Her care for Nectarflame despite all of the cats around her so keen on watching her demise? Would he threaten to cast her out, just as her sister had?

Gaze flickering from her paws where it had fallen, she offered a curious tilt of her head. "Most cats do not find themselves out here. You have not seen any muskrats, have you?" There was a bit of humor in her tone if only an attempt to lighten the mood as she gave a half-hearted chuckle.

After some walking, Meadowsplash stopped. "Goldenpaw! Are you ready for your first lesson?"

>> Icicleripple
she/they - blue-grey molly with tabby markings and green eyes

Just like that, with the okay from Rosepaw the she-cat quite literally almost sprinted out of camp. The patrols were going in now, and even if the herb storage was full- it wouldn't hurt to have extra just in case. Icicleripple obviously trusted those fighting for the cause in their skills, as opposed to her own little or otherwise .. non-existent memory of moves. If the stars-dammed rouge that,, did .. . yeah- if that rouge 'fight' was proof of anything. (she'd tried of course, but the basic self defense taught by Thunderchaser wasn't exactly enough for a full grown cat). At least .., I'll be learning soon enough- ..

Yet now she could be of help elsewhere, with the herbal knowledge- that had, even throughout her stay in the sky, happened to be stuck strong. More marigold was probably needed, and while it was getting warmer these moons that shouldn't be a problem. Deciding to steer clear of where the fighting was going to happen, paws carried her to Sunkissed Creek. Though she had not in fact traveled through the territory further after The Return too much. Besides to wash the now gone twoleg stench out of her fur further downstream of the present location. There, the same tree leaned slightly over a rather deep part of the stream- she'd actually once seen some fish there but wasn't brave enough to go in. The almost green-leaf leafage was providing shade to the bank, creating quite an ideal situation for marigold to grow. And sure enough, there were a medium sized clump of the sunrise colored flower growing right there. Picking three up in her jaws, Icicleripple looked around for a little before finding a decent leaf as to keep them safer from accidental wreckage.

As she journeyed back to camp, intending to look for more cobwebs, the though occurred to the young she-cat on the chances of poison claws version two [electric boogaloo]. It,, would RiverClan have the time to gather more deathberries? Or did Snakeheart always have some handy.. . I,,- it cannot happen again,, can't let it, won't let it.,, if they decide to play dirty for a second time, then we are going to be prepared. So off to search for some yarrow she went, still carefully carrying the three marigold. It happened to take a little longer than expected, considering that the white flowering plant was more often found in Firefly cove and other clearings. She'd heard something about coyotes in the one other real clearing she defiantly knew how to get to.. so that was out of the options immediately.

After some looking though, the tall steamed plant was found, and two were promptly taken. The leaves were really all that was needed in case of poison, but even just one plant was quite large to carry. Only being able to take one steam would do though considering there were around five ish leaves Icicleripple could spot already. Now, time to get back to camp- who knew how long it would take for someone to get injured in fighting.

[ Herb gathering permission given by @/Shade.] [+3 marigold, +1 large yarrow ]

Sneaking into ThunderClan territory with her daughter Cinderpaw and her brother Darkscar was no easy task. Ashtail had known to meet them east from ThunderClan camp and then go with them. "Cinderpaw, quiet. You're going to get the border patrol here." Snowstorm whispered. @spirit free

[taillow]

Cindersky
"Get out, RiverClanner." Stepping out from the undergrowth Cindersky fixed the two RiverClan cats with a glare, stalking forward until she was near them. Soon enough they would launch their planned attack on RiverClan, but these border trespassings had to stop.
