Yes, technically he was supposed to wait until he had brought back his own prey, but what was the point in being hungry during a hunt?! Tilting his head to the side, Pebblepaw gave a small shrug,

"I certainly feel bad for her. I don't know what I would do if my own mother wanted me to leave the clan... though, not sure what danger a kit would pose..." Pebblepaw hummed in thought, a cheeky smile resting on his maw, "I can't say I think much of her.. don't know her! How can I judge someone I don't know... ya know?"

@Kitty Mama

For a cat that was only a bit hungry, Pebblepaw was sure wolfing down the fish. Omenshade would've been impressed if they were not concentrating on the responses to their questioning. "I'm hearing that you feel sympathetic, and it's good that you're able to put yourself in your former clan mate's paws." They weren't drawing any conclusions from what Pebblepaw offered, though his reported feelings certainly weren't positive ones. "Sootflare... do you know him? What do you think of him?" Again, they were hoping Pebblepaw didn't have any prior experiences to color his answer. Purely operating on gut feeling, or possibly the influence of having a tasty snack associated with good things...

Hickoryblaze felt his pelt prickle at the she-cat's insolence. How rude was she?! She would have to be whipped into shape. Ship-shape. A warrior didn't go around rolling eyes and flicking tails. What a pity it was, that she wasn't born as perfect and fabulous as him. He flaunted his golden brown fur, fluffing it out angrily. His forehead dressed slightly, and his eyes grew hard, but he painted a thin smile on his face. He didn't like to yell, more like order, and he would refuse to until the situation got drastic. Plastering on a bigger from painfully, he speedwalked over to the equally golden she-cat, what a poor, confused soul she was. If she wasn't so dark and depressing, he'd pity her.
"Nice sass, fish-head. Let's get on with this, shall we? We don't like each other very much, as far as I can see." He snorted. Padding away from the Streamstone and the clearing, he began to exit through the tunnel. They would train in the territory.
"Come on, sass queen."

[Could you make the next post in the territory?]

"I'm sorry," she suddenly blurted, then added quickly to clarify, "I'm probably being kind of rude. Um, sure, we can do a session after this." Great StarClan! Why did her voice have to sound this squeaky? She was making a fool of herself!

slivershade offer a soft smile, she did seem nervous which slivershade didn't blame if she was. mentors,, were always a 50/50 chance of being good or bad. or just,, non-existence. they blink, tilting his head in confusion at the sudden sorry. however the next follow up statement cleared it up for the warrior.

"don't be! i understand if you don't like me at the start, it's perfectly fine. we'll just have to get to each other, " slivershade stated-- guilt trickling into their heart. it was best to not get too close. for multiple reasons. so, they would gently pat darkpaw on the head with their sheathed paw. ''now lets listen to the rest of what lionstar has to say, " they whispered in a hushed tone.

RiverClan Announcement [#liontalks]

Letting the congratulations die down, Lionstar didn't wait any longer to continue.

"Today is a very special day for one of our apprentices, and I am proud to announce we will be conducting a warrior ceremony.

"This apprentice has gone against the odds to make it here. I recall vividly one of my first interactions with her.. where Icebrains herself decided to trespass in escorting this cat and her brother back to camp. It's nice to see she's come far from that night, and I hope she will continue to flourish as a warrior.

"Pigeonpaw [ @Casper], step forward."

Darkpaw nodded quickly, a bit of relief flooding through her as she turned her gaze back to Lionstar.

Pigeonpaw's heart raced when she heard Lionstar start talking about warrior ceremonies. This is it, this is my moment, she thought hurriedly as she padded up to the streamstone.

Even in her excitement, she couldn't shake the awful feeling of loneliness as she stood beneath the streamstone. Graypaw was supposed to be standing here with her. But he was gone, and he was never coming back. She was going to become a warrior alone today.

RiverClan Announcement [#liontalks]

With Pigeonpaw stepping forward, Lionstar beamed. It took her a moment but he understood the hesitation: the loneliness that came from wanting someone to be beside him, but... for no one to be there.

"Pigeonpaw, you have completed your apprentice training and are now prepared for the next step in life.

"I, Lionstar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in her turn.

"Pigeonpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Lionstar watched her patiently, eager for her reaction-- to see how it differed from the few other cats he had made warriors.

[pidgeon]

Pigeonpaw found herself trembling. Whether it was from excitement or fear, she wasn't sure. But she listened as the leader spoke, and met his gaze unwaveringly.

"I do," she uttered with forced confidence, aware of all the eyes of her clanmates that were trained on her.

Hahahaha. She was like a mouse with how much she was shaking beneath him! What a contrast-- with Fawn having been rigid and Eagleflower prepared to accept his new position.

"Pigeonpaw, from this day forth you will be known as Pigeonchirp. I have always known you to be an outspoken cat, Pigeonchirp-- very loud! .. and I hope you don't let that fade. I know it's been hard this last moon with what happened to your skinnier brother, but your courage and enthusiasm should not waver during this time of mourning." Lionstar would pause for a moment to allow his words to sink in, watching the newly named warrior intently. "RiverClan welcomes you as our newest warrior."

With his announcement done, he was bored of this meeting and wanted it over with. The patrols could wait.

"This meeting is dismissed."

And he sprang down to head into his den, expecting Sootflare to follow once he was done congratulating Pigeonchirp.

@Blissie Bliss

Fennelheart sighed as the new deputy was chosen, but forced herself to cheer as if he was her own clanmate.

I'm sure he'll make a good deputy, even if he isn't Skyclan.

~

The white she-cat brightened at the prospect of Pigeonpaw becoming a warrior. She could remember in vivid detail how excited she was at her own ceremony!

Heh. Yeah, and then Grousestar gave me a boring name! At least Pigeonchirp's name is slightly original.

She grinned down at her kit after cheering; 'Pigeonchirp! Pigeonchirp!' and said;

"Someday that'll be you, and I can't wait!"

...............

Hawktalon tried to cheer for the new deputy and warrior, he really did, but he just couldn't concentrate with the announcement about Dirtfur's exile.

Did he really do all that? My brother?

Instead, the brown tabby just dipped his head and walked away from the crowd.
