Soon enough, the wad of cobwebs on her stick was starting to fall apart, deciding that it was time to head back. She nodded at the others before turning back to camp. Leading the way up to camp, Foxpaw grinned her teeth together. She may have been satisfied that the other two had reappeared, but they were barely on time. Leaning towards late. She would be reporting. Hopefully, it would make her seem responsible.

Thinking back, hadn’t Sparrowflight said something before she showed up? She had caught the edge of a sentence mentioning Pineleap and some other cats. Did that mean she had been momentarily replaced? That wouldn’t do. Reporting was definitely what she was doing now. Engaging and taking the step forward. “Hello, Sparrowflight. We’re back.” She gestured with a paw to the pile of web covered stick she had abandoned by the medicine den. “Apologies for taking so long. We’ll do better next time.” Better to keep it brief and proper.

Pine’leap nodded, smiling. “Getting cobwebs were hard- kept on sticking on my paws…”

Rosepaw had been feeling...odd. Now that there was no murder and mutiny, things were...too quiet. She had actual time to think about things. And it made her ad. She could never get a hold of her siblings and she'd never managed to make any other friends. It felt...lonely.

Rosepaw's ears perked up as someone called out to her. Oh, another patient. She turned to face Moosecrash, confused about the mouse he was carrying.

"Oh, hi, can I help you with something?" she asked.

- Copperfire -
He/Him

As Mistheart approached him with something in her mouth, he pointedly didn't look at her. Fine, ignore my advice. See how that ends for you. The she-cat put something into his nest, talking about how it would help him relax. She was... giving him something? His eyes darted to whatever she placed into his nest.

Copperfire looked at the feather as if it had personally offended him, his fur raised to prove it had. Oh, I see what this is. He decided to remove the feather when the other had left. It was beautiful, but he couldn't keep it, could he? It would mean he had to repay her in some way. He didn't know how Mistheart would react to such a strong denial, but he could at least voice his refusal: "What, trying to gain a favor? I don't want it." It wasn't his first time having someone trick him into doing some favor while masking it as an innocent gift. He wasn't about to be tricked again.

The red tabby shot a glare at the younger, watching her rearrange her nest. Maybe I'll just return it. It'd be a waste to throw such a pretty trinket away. But he couldn't do that with her still here and he didn't want to keep the feather any longer than he had to, so trying to make her as uncomfortable with his staring as he could until she leaves, was his only option. Or she could fall asleep, that could work too.

All the queens seem to still be asleep… so are the other kits… the kit thought to herself as she positioned herself upright. Guess I’ll play with my moss ball again…
Looking down for her ‘pillow’, Flamekit smiled and rolled it back up into a ball after it had been squished with Flamekit’s head’s weight. She then rolled it back and forth between her paws, trying to keep it from going outside the den on occasion.

Flamekit’s game went on for quite a while, and soon, she began to feel drowsy again. Seizing the opportunity to see the sunrise, Flamekit placed the moss ball to the side so it didn’t get squished like the first time and laid her head down. She then drifted off to sleep, dreaming of her running through the ThunderClan camp in pursuit of a blue-jay. A rather peaceful sleep, Flamekit tucked her hind legs and tail in.

Thrushfur went and sat in the clearing, he felt the sunlight burning through his fur onto his pelt. He shifted uncomfortably turning behind him. Though relaxing wasn't the best thing on his mind right now. He flicked his tail tip gently just gazing at the clearing. His mind wandered off staring at the Weeping Tree from afar. The falling leaves made him feel teary as if the tree was crying for him, ironically for his name. His body wavered side to side, perhaps he's just a bit drowsy sitting in this heat. It was still Newleaf, but Greenleaf was coming nearer and nearer. He heaved a sigh as he shifted his gaze away from the Weeping Tree. Looking at his paws for what felt like a few sunrises.

If he could only have something snatch his mind away from such sentimental things. His calm simple exterior continued to flow out as he smothered in the sun.

Quailfur grumbled, her senses have woken as the nursery was in sight. Her eyes were blurry but started to clear up ever so slowly. Her belly bulged as she wiggled around for a big stretch with her legs. She moved herself to the side as her ears itched. She tried scratching behind her ear but her leg couldn't reach. Her second tactic was her paw, but it couldn't reach either! She stomped her paw in frustration.

Now what was she supposed to do with an itchy ear that will continue to stab at her multiple times. Relaxing herself, her steam cooling off. Her stomach rumbled that sounded like the growl of a dog. She frowned, though she didn't have enough strength to stand up right about now. The only thing she could do was ask one of the kits to fetch her some prey.

Flamekit still seemed to be sleeping, she grunted looking over to the other beds. She shook her head. Perhaps I should do it myself?

Touching muzzles the two cats reunited after what seemed like ages. "Wishkit how have you been?" The black tom sat down, it was about time he caught up on all the story's the young cat had. He wondered if she's be an apprentice soon. "Maybe after you tell me what's been going down in the nursery we could play a game, I'm sure we can be content with that," he purred. "Maybe a game of cat and mouse, I've got to say, I make a pretty good mouse," he smiled, imitating a mouse by squeaking and twitching his nose.

Songblossom|She/her

The sun shone high onto the dry grass, a soft breeze ruffled the fur on Songblossom’s pelt. She looked up, glancing at the sky. Ah, a squirrel! And a tree! She thought, identifying the shapes of the clouds. She turned around, looking at her clan mates. There her clan mates were sharing tongues, or eating prey. She watched as a mentor led his or her apprentice out towards the gorse tunnel. She smiled, remembering her early days as an apprentice. She was called Songpaw and she was lively and agile, always speeding off somewhere, and despised finding elder’s ticks, which she would often have to do for sneaking out of camp. ”Those were good days..” she murmured out loud.

Swankit was just laying down in the nursery. She was bored….but there wasn’t much of a reason to go out to the clearing. Bored, but unmotivated…what a strange combination of emotions. She wasn’t sure what to do next.

Vinekit played with her mossball to try and wash away her sadness
