"I'd think that a kit like you could be a little more... Unique." Spicepaw let a small smirk cross his face at his own words. The tom wasn't usually one to mess around with other cat's heads, but there can be exceptions. "Besides... I don't think my father would appreciate it much if I took a kit outside of camp."

The words 'took a kit outside of camp' attracted Skywatcher's attention.
It's fair to say that she had made more than one attempt to escape the place in her past. But she was very young and had no concept of the danger she would have been in.
"Heh. If he honestly thinks he can do it," she muttered to herself, "Then he'll be the one sorting out the consequences."

Never before had he noticed that ain't had two legs more than he did, and it fascinated him. He was having way more fun than he would've been having if he'd taken up the offer to go hunting, since his mentor was missing and he hadn't been assigned a new one yet. He flicked his gray tipped ears and touched his nose the ant then flinched away as it tried to bite him. He was wondering how painful an ant bite would be when a paw planted itself on the ant, nearly causing Geyserpaw to jump with surprise.

He looked up at the new cat, who was a rather unusual looking tom about his age. He nodded. “Hi!” he said to the apprentice who'd introduced themselves as Littlepaw. “I'm Geyserpaw.” he gave a little bounce, then bent his head, licking the ant. It stuck to his tongue and was in his mouth in a heartbeat. He hadn't expected that, and he tried to spit it out, but ended up accidentally swallowing it. It had no taste since he'd not killers it, so it was like swallowing a clump of wriggling dirt or a couple grains of sand. He sat down, his gray and white pelt sticking up, somewhat due to his displeasure of eating the ant alive. Geyserpaw shook himself then grinned, his tail tapping the ground and paws moving. He was being his usual self and finding it nearly impossible to hold still. It always was quite hard, and he wished that he could at least stay still while hunting. “That ant tastes like sand.” he said, shaking his head. That was his way of telling the curly furred apprentice that he should never, never eat an ant alive. He stood up, subconsciously lifting and raising each of his paws in turn, as if he was walking in pace almost.

A grin spread across Littlepaw’s face, eyebrows raised in amusement at the other apprentice’s antics. Barely a heartbeat after Geyserpaw had swallowed the ant, Littlepaw made a face, sticking his tongue out in mock disgust. Listening to his clanmate, expression returning to his neutral, ready-to-smile-at-any-moment look, he nodded in acknowledgement of Geyserpaw’s disguised advice. His whiskers twitched as he noticed what the apprentice was doing with his paws. The LaPerm tilted his head to the side, observing the movements. “Why do you move you paws like--” he paused, mimicking what Geyserpaw was doing, “like that?” Of course, being a young apprentice, Littlepaw had no understanding of being polite and using proper manners. He wanted to know everything, anything that someone may be doing at that exact moment in time. It frustrated him to no end if he was unable to receive an answer he deemed correct, and he would ponder it for days.

Well, at least Geyserpaw seemed to be sociable. He’d probably get an easier answer through him; the elders were very difficult in that sense, he realized. They spoke in riddles, it seemed, whereas younger cats were as straightforward as could be. Maybe that sense of mystery grew with age; maybe it depended on how wise you were. Littlepaw would ask the elders when he got the chance. “How long have you been an apprentice?” The apprentice cocked his head back upright, observing Geyserpaw with glimmering optics. His first moon of training had not been all that fun—again, Pineneedle was rather tough—but maybe older apprentices grew to like the swift pace after a while. Geyserpaw could have an easier mentor, though… that would definitely change things if he were to ask. And even if he had a strict mentor like his, he could be as young as or even younger than him.

The tom had had a weird dream before he left, something telling him that he needed to go, be he knew he would return. He was happy to be home, and excited to introduce Shiverkit to the tom. His body felt heavy, after so much walking and traveling all in one day his paws ached and he was left exhausted, but he still sped into the clearing to find the certain ginger leader he was looking for. ¨Alright Shiverkit, were home. Im going to introduce you to the other cat that will be helping to take care of you, I promise he´ll take very good care of you and try to help.¨ he smiled and glanced back at the grey kit that was snugged in his fur warmly,holding on to balance himself. ¨This is your new home. After I find who Im looking for well settle to get some sleep,okay?¨ he was sure the kit was tired, as thi had been a very long,interesting day for them both. Whisper didnt expect to be a father again. Russet was one to stand out a bt due to his swirled markings, so finding him was no hard task. Whisperblaze approached his mate, a bright mile on his face. He hadnt noticed Shellfeather yet. ¨Russet- oh am I so glad to see you.¨

"Whisper-- I missed you!" He laughed, nuzzling the warrior with a rumbling purr. However, it seemed like there wasn't only one cat in front of him- looking down towards the small gray kitten which Whisperblaze was escorting, giving the small tomkit a friendly smile. "Hey, who's this little guy?" He laughed, nuzzling the kitten's cheek as well with fondness. Turning back towards his mate with a playful gaze, his thin-furred tail flicked back and forth as his paws shuffled awkwardly. "It's really nice to have you back- I thought you'd left for good." He loved Whisperblaze with all of his heart, and if he'd left the clan for a second time he wouldn't be able to bear any of it. Pausing for a few seconds to let the tom reply, he suddenly found himself distracted by a scent he hadn't been faced with for moons, something he knew quite dearly. Oh my StarClan- she can't be back here, not now! A panicked expression suddenly stretching onto his face, he froze with fear as he caught sight of his ex-mate Shellfeather having arrived in camp. His son, Spicepaw, had also arrived, but he didn't scare him quite as much as his mother did- he thought he would never see again, and he'd finally been able to move on. "Whisper... don't look behind you." He mumbled to his mate, pressing his nose against his cheek for a few seconds, the leader's expression paralyzed with worry.

Rabbitpaw was too late.

Even if it was olny two days I was gone it felt like moons.¨ he gave a soft chuckle. He looked on his back to where the kit was settled, ¨This is Shiverkit,I wanted to raise him myself, I know Im not queen but hes old enough to eat pray and-¨ his rambling stopped when his mate thought he was gone. He gave a soft smile, ¨Im never leaving for good, I promise you.¨ his voice was sincere. he knew a lot had happened to Russet in his life time, apprentices dying,kits dying, and exiling his own sister. And then Shellfeather had left. It seemed everything important had left his mate, and he didnt want him to think the same of him. He felt slight guilt for when he left for Thunderclan, and how scary that had been for the both of them. ¨I promise.¨ he whispered as a quiet promise between them. When his mate leaned close, he was expecting sweet nothings whispered in his ears or something,not words of pure fear. Dont look...behind me? ¨Russet, whats wrong? You look terrified...whats behind me?¨ his voice was unsure, quiet and searching for more detail.

(forgot this rp existed for a moment and i am apart of the chaos but i'll keep to the sidelines)

Shiverkit was a bit still on Whisperblaze's back, the mute kitten in awe at how many other cats were in the same place. Even if the camp here reeked of fish and water, Shiverkit was happy that the older tom allowed him to come here. He could be happy here with so many cats that all seemed pretty happy. The small kit wanted to make friends with everyone, even if he was terrified of the fact that no one would accept him. Still, Shiverkit had more to worry about in the moment. He blinked and burrowed more into Whisperblaze's back fluff as the new tom nuzzled him, finding the fact that a new cat was so close to him being a bit odd and terrifying. The small tomkit just rested, or well hung, onto Whisper's back as he silently listened to conversation between the two males. Though, hearing the slight fear pickup in Russetstar's voice, Shiverkit began to get a bit scared. He became on edge soon after hearing the echoing unease in Whisperblaze's voice. Seeing how the tom he lied on had been right about most things so far, enough to save his life, Shiverkit thought that i he was uneasy then he should too. Even if he had no idea what was going on or why either tom was scared and off put.

She knew she rubbed a small portion of her nose raw and it was obvious to other cats because it was red and a small amount of blood came from it. However, her pink tongue flicked over her nose and removed the blood, leaving an angry looking raw patch behind. She didn't mind it though. Normally the queen was covered in kit scratches and teeth marks so this was nothing compared to it. Once the other tom started speaking, she made sure her posture was neat and her green hues were bright despite what had just occurred. "Oh no no no, you're fine! I was silly and wasn't checking where I was placing my paws! Don't worry about me though! The medicine cat already has enough to worry about, I don't need to go bother her about a little raw patch on my nose. It'll heal over in a few days!" she gave a small chuckle before her tongue flicked over her nose again. Lotusheart gave him a genuine smile, hoping that he would stop fretting over her. It really was nothing in her mind.

Fogleaps eyes still flickered with worry, "I should've been paying attention." He said. He felt terrible but was glad she wasn't anymore hurt then she already was. He laughed nervously, "So. I don't know if you know my name but I am Fogleap." He said. The two cats had never spoken before so he doubted she really knew who he was, she might of known his name but he wanted to go ahead an introduce himself. He did trip her after all so he thought she deserve an introduction from him.

The off-white tomcat padded into the clearing, hoping to avoid everyone in sight. He attempted to sit by the shady corner, which was covered in shadow. That way, not many cats would see him. And he'd be alone.

Perfect.

Waspwhisker bit into the flesh of his fresh-kill, a mouse. He sighed in content and gazed out into the area, where cats were chatting and debates were held. There was always so much drama in the clan. Why couldn't things just settle down for once?

(I could roleplay with you!)

Aluminumpaw looked and saw an off white cat in a dark corner. Some one to speak too! The mottled black and white she-cat bounded over. "Hi!" She said. She sat down in front of the tom. "How are you?" She asked. She didn't seem to notice the toms antisocial mood. Aluminumpaw fixed her bright amber gaze on the tom, waiting for a reply.

Silentshade lazily watched her clan go about their business, kits playing, elders complaining, and warriors just doing their daily activities. "Life couldn't get better!" She purred, and from beside her two of her friends nodded. "Yes! I couldn't agree more!" Clovershine mewed. "Yes, for once no one is on our tails about something!" Brackenheart said happily. "Well I really don't have anyone that hates me, and I know most of the clan so right now, nothing could make my day bad!" Silentshade declared, not knowing how wrong she was.

" I think someone is getting sleepy!" Silentshade sing-song as Thornkit dozed off. She smiled as Brackenheart tried to cut off a yawn. "I think both of you are tired!" Gently she picked Thornkit up by his scruff and started carrying him to the nursery. "Good night!" She called to Brackenheart, who waved his tail in good night.

Brackenheart watched Silentshade carry Thornkit to the nursery, and forced back a yawn. Great StarClan am I tired! he thought as he walked to the warriors' den, hardly waiting for the dreams he would have.


(next post about Silentshade and Thornkit will most likely be in the Nursery Forum)

Owlkit sat in the clearing, her ears pricked as she watched a feather float through the air. The young cat crouched, pouncing onto the object and landing near Silentshade. "Oh, hello!" She mewed, paw on the feather.

Silentshade looked up once she heard a little voice say hello. "Oh, Hello sweetie! And who are you?" She paused before continuing. "This is my best friends Clovershine and Brackenheart!" She smiled a huge smile. "And I'm Silentshade, the one and only!"

"I'm Owlkit!" She squeaked, twitching her tail.
