Badgerstripe rolled his eyes and smacked her upside the head again. "Collect the moss, Mulberrypaw," he said firmly. "You will learn much but you must listen to me first."

He then went to another small area of moss nearby, and started rolling it up nice and neat, hoping she was watching so she could do it the same way.

Bane of Hunters gave his small wish and rose his head back up to give the cat a perked ear and causing a fumble in his words. "Yes...the uhh...Lights, they those live before. Guide good cats along paths, test heart's strength."

It was near the end of his statement that he seemed to collect himself, his ears perking high and emerald eyes gleaming. "Snow of the Wind told son Lights lead this one better home. True family." He had to explain this before and he awaited the usual response of them not understanding him.

The tom stood up from his seat, seeing the friendly words and questions as a open way but his paws stopped from proceeding as he remembered his words of not entering the Shadowclan lands. Retracting his movements, he took a seat and asked another question. "Ivythorn, warrior of Shadowclan? What Warrior? What Shadowclan?"

Ivythorn listened deeply to the tom's words, and once he finished, she sort of understood. "Oh, so your father told you to follow Starclan to find your true home?" she asked.

"Oh, it's just a rank. Shadowclan, they are my clanmates. They, well they are supposed to be my family," she said with a fake smile. She shifted her paws nervously, and hoped he hadn't noticed.

Mulberrypaw again rubbed her head, then started rolling the moss. That was mean! I don't need to be rolling moss, I need to be training! She rolled it up quickly, not caring much about the quality versus the quantity, and little pieces of moss stuck up in places. "Done," She said once she'd done five. "I used up all the moss, too." Honestly, she'd used about half of it, and shoved the rest behind a tree. I need to be doing something productive, so let's get to the point, fast!

The loner shook his head, "No, Snow of the Wind mother." He corrected but he could guess the kind of name would throw off any cat as did his own.

But a word she used made him look at her quizzically and so did her later words. "Starclan?" He asked, but it was soft like a kitten or atleast as much as a kitten with a deep and struggled voice could muster.

"Supposed be family? Ivythorn not feel Shadowclan family?" As the inquiries left his muzzle, Bane of Hunters imagined the she-cat amongst other cats.

The very shadows of cats moved around the she-cat before him, none of which either acknowledged or interacted with her. Ivythorn not cared? No strong heart in clans either? Bane of Hunters' ears twitched at the thought, pushing it away. This one made promise. Help all cats who heart needs help.

Penny has no idea where she is. She's surrounded by fragrant pine trees in a territory that is clearly inhabited by other cats. She limps over the pine needle-strewn ground, hoping that she can find one of these cats soon...and that they'll be friendly.

Badgerstripe glanced over at the apprentice, padded over, and rolled his eyes. "You have balls of moss alright, and also of mud, twigs, stones, and who knows what else," he said unamused, while also swatting her over the head.

He padded back to his ball, beckoning his apprentice with his tail. "Watch how I do it, then go back and do the other half you left laying there," he said, almost growling. He barely dug his claws into the moss, and only got the moss and a small amount of dirt with them as he drug his claws back, forming a ball with the soft green plant.

Ivythorn pinned her ears at so many questions, though it was only really two or three. She didn't mean to allow her feelings to come into explaining her clan, but... Oh well, what had been done had been done.

"Starclan are the four clans' ancestors. There's Thunderclan, the best prey stalkers in the forest, Windclan, the speedy cats of the moores, Riverclan, the best and generally only swimmers in the clans, and Shadowclan, the, well.. Shadows, of the other clans.." she said with an empty heart. "Don't get me wrong, Shadowclan was great once. We've just had a kind of, falling out?" she couldn't grasp at the right word for it.

"I, uh..." she sighed when he mentioned her not enjoying her time in Shadowclan. "I used to get picked on a lot growing up. Shadowclan's not anywhere near the friendliest of clans, and as of right now, not nearly the strongest, though, if you ask anyone else in the clan, they'll say otherwise. They still have their clan spirit. I'm not even sure if there is a Starclan anymore..." she said, then pricked her ears and gave her chest fur a couple embarrassed licks. "Sorry, I didn't mean to poor all that on you. You're very easy to talk to.." she said, curling her tail around her paws and sitting up straight.

Penny continues to limp through the forest. She can hear and smell prey moving around her, but knows not to hunt in populated territory. She learned that lesson the hard way while crossing through the Cold Lands.
Her paw is aching more and more with every step, and Penny starts to feel that she won't be able to keep walking for much longer.

Mulberrypaw rolled her eyes again, only kind of watching her mentor. Sighing, she took the other half of the moss and tried to do it just like Badgerstripe. If he's gonna smack me every time I do something wrong, I'd rather just do what he says! Doing her best, she managed to avoid getting most if the dirt in the ball, but it wasn't as clean as she knew it should've been. "Ok, now I'm done, for real this time." The young apprentice backed away slightly now, just a bit worries Badgerstripe might hit her again.

Pain suddenly shoots through Penny's injured paw, and she falls with a loud screech. "Ow!"

Bane of Hunters blinked a few times from her confession, his head tilted to the side as the words played about his ears. This one...easy talk to? It took him a few moments till hit made his entire form to perk up straight. This one meet Ivythorn...meant to help?

He shook his head till he rested his gleaming eyes on her, "This one sorry. Life such as Ivythorn's not be remembered such. Brings pain to heart." The tom rose to his paws and padded over to her.

As he got merely a tail length away, he sat down. The loner sat as straight as he could as brought his long tail about, allowing to rest on the ground than on his paws. Upon his visage was a brighten expression, hearty and warm. "This one be Ivythorn's heart to come to when need strength. Mew or claw, friend or guardian. By Lights Bane of Hunters promise on heart to Ivythorn."

Forestpelt padded into the territory, her brother with her, and her expression calm and unreadable in the shadows. She often looked like that, it was surprising how easily she was able to disguise her emotions, really. She gave a quick flick of her tail, turning her green hues onto Amberstrike. "So, it seems we have some catching up to do...how have you been doing these past few moons?" She asked, her tail twitching again. It was surprising how random the movements were, but they were there. She kept her hues fixed on him in an almost unnerving way, although for him she was sure it wasn't a big deal. Mainly because he was used to it by now, the two of them had grown up together after all...and mainly because it really wasn't that unnerving at all, unless you were scared of her or being stared at. And...he's not scared of either, she thought to herself with a slight smirk.
