She asked, her voice was calm as she sat up to look down at the two. It wasn't hard to tell that she wasn't overly happy with either of them considering how her tail swung back and forth in big displeases lashes.

@Hexict - whatever gender you assign your cat is the gender that I'll have my cat used, no confusion that way.

Newtflecks shifted uncomfortably, unable to meet Twilightstar's gaze. He knew that there was little chance that they would be accepted back, but the couple had decided to try nonetheless. It did sound bad; disappearing and then crawling back? Before he could say anything, if was Flashfury that continued to take the lead.

"I'm sorry for leaving without warning or explanation," he began. "But I cannot say that I'm sorry for leaving," although his words were certain, his expression and posture was more on the sheepish side. This was new for the tom. He stood by his words but knew that they could get them turned away. "Newtflecks became pregnant during the food shortage. There was barely enough prey for the clan, let alone a pregnant warrior. In the best interest of my mate and unborn kits I believed it was best if we left the clan and it's territory to find a place with more food." If newt didn't eat enough then the kits would die, or if by some miracle they didn't, Newt and the kits would be extremely weak during the birth and he could lose all of them. Flashfury was not going to let that happen.

"Twi-Twilightstar?" Newtflecks stepped forward, soft voice was shaking due to his nervousness. "I'm sorry w-we didn't say an-anything before we l-left. B-but we h-had to thi-think about the kits," looked at his belly, and anxious look growing on his face. "I am close t-to having the k-kits... I d-don't thinking I-I can have then out-outside the clan, I don't kn-know what will h-happen to them if there was a threat."

Clover stumbled forward, her mind foggy and scattered. ‘I'm so tired.....haven't eaten in days....haven't slept for longer...’ She tripped, landing with her face in the dirt. ‘Ow......Where...was I going again...?’ She slowly got to her feet, lurching forward a few more steps. ‘So tired....Maybe a quick nap...?’ A mouse ran in front of her, acting as if it knew she was weak and starving. ‘Mother and Father were right. I'm nothing without them....’ Clover fell again, knowing that she didn't have the energy to get up. ‘I'm going to die here...If only I had listened to Mother and Father....Kept my mouth shut....Hadn't spoken...’ She sighed, wishing something would come and finish her off quickly.

Another rabbit darted in his peripheral vision and caused hunter instinct to take control. He dropped down into a crouch, his bright green eyes gleamed with concentration as he approached the rabbit carefully. Holding his breath, he waited. And then he struck. Leaping into the air, he pounces right where he thought a rabbit was. Turns out the rabbit was smarter than Stonegaze had realized. He returned to Flowerleaf empty pawed but with a goofy smile on his face.

Flowerleaf smiled brightly. "Looks like we're just gonna have to try harder," she said. I wonder where we're gonna find one, she thought.

Ears perking up "no......I'm enjoying myself ...something I should have done in shadowclan...." he wasn't afraid of saying it. It's in his past now, even if the memories were still fresh in his mind. " who are you again?...I would like to get to know my future denmates..." Skypaw meowed. " it's Skypaw, my old name was Oakpaw.." he explained . Besides if he opened himself up more. ..maybe they would open themselves up to him!

Bushpaw seemed visibly disgusted. He hopped up and stepped back from the feline. "ShadowClan?" he said, lip curled in a snarl. He should’ve known something was off by the way this cat acted. Of course ShadowClan would send spies! Odd ones, at that. But this could be an opportunity to see what a rival Clan was up to and report it. "The name’s Bushpaw, and don’t you forget it." His voice took on a tone of authority and attitude. "Why in the name of StarClan would ShadowClan send someone like you to spy on WindClan?" He sat back down again pale yellow eyes staring straight into the other feline’s.

Stonegaze beamed at Flowerleaf with joy. He started farther away from camp to where s popular rabbit den was. "We should definitely get some here!"

just as twilightstar said....
He rolled back on to his stomach . Giving bushy a blank stare only for his ears and eyes to narrow in disappointment "really? You think I'm a....wow...I left for a reason . Because icestar has pushed her boundaries ...sending a raid on a clan all because of her ..attitude . Killing a cat that wanted nothing but peace in front of everyone , that warned the other of the raid for said peace.
" He explained. He forgot a ton....more than he wanted. But certain things he won't forget . Names, homes, reasons why. "would a shadowclan spy spill all of that ? No I doubt it " he meowed with bravery. He wasn't afraid of bushpaw. He was more afraid of icebutt. "I even washed away my scent in water before I came here,I will not become a kittypet, I will not go to thunderclan, I can't go to riverclan. SO. " he probably won't even take me seriously

Dimtail approached the nursery, a rabbit hanging from his jaws. He set the rabbit down and poked his head in. "Uh, Lynxstep?" He called. "Would you be comfortable with me visiting?"

Bushpaw snorted. ShadowClan sent a worse spy than he thought. The feline was spilling a bunch of information just to trick him into befriending Skypaw? He didn’t need friends. Letting the WindClan apprentice know that he washed away his scent? "Wow," he started, voice full of scorn and laugher. "ShadowClan really should’ve sent some cat else to spy, huh?" Bushpaw stood up, looking down on the other apprentice. "Maybe you should scurry back to the pines where you belong. You can’t keep up with us real WindClan cats."

He'd never met a cat that seemed so obsessed with the moon to the point where they cannot even talk about themself. There was a part of him that wasn't exactly surprised, though. Oddear was certainly...well, odd, so he didn't expect any more or less of him.

"So you like...worship it?" He decided to spread out on the ground beside Oddear, looking up at the sky. "What made you do that?"

Trauma wasn't exactly a decent answer, even if it was right. Oddear shrugged his long, thin shoulders back. His torn ear flicking as he relaxed more and more in the others company.

"I'm not sure," Oddear murmured, the topic of himself growing boring. He couldn't help but feel a little bashful. He glanced to the white cat, head tilted slightly. "I want to know about you, Coldsong."
