Puddlepaw frowned a bit as Basilpaw began giggling at him. For such an intelligent cat, he sure didn't know a whole lot about emotions. And he did know what love was, but did he know any of the specifics of it? No. All he knew was that cats that loved each other romantically became mates and often had kits. But he didn't know what love really felt like, or how to tell when he was in love with someone. Though, he supposed that he was sort of starting to understand what his friend was implying. "Yeah, I know about mates and parents. But I don't know how romance and love feels. I only know the type of love for your family and friends, but not the love for...y'know...mates and stuff. And from the way you've been acting, I'm kind of getting the feeling that..." Ohhhh! It finally hit him out of nowhere. That strange feeling he had? Could it have been love? Was that it? No wonder Dawnpaw had seemed so upset when he ran out of the elders' den. It must have felt to her like he didn't feel the same way. If this was really the case, then Puddlepaw felt even more terrible. But he just had to confirm with the "expert" first. "So...do you think...me and Dawnpaw are...?" He didn't quite finish the last part of his sentence. It was much too embarrassing to say out loud, but he knew Basilpaw would probably understand.

Brightflame walked back in at her call. "Hivekit- it's ok.. you're just special.." She mewed assuringly. "I need to talk to the leader, just, calm down.. it'll be ok.." She mewed, and touched her tail onto her kits shoulders, slowly padding out with a worried glance back. @TeamRiverRipple @Dawneye @Chasepaw

Dawnpaw trudged onto the moor behind her mentor. "So, we're doing some battle moves?" She said, her voice a bit blank. @RainbowQuail

[MEAT ANGELS]

@Chasepaw @SparrowSoar
[sure! a small warning that she will be very anxious.]

Hivekit nodded, and pointed her nose up. She could smell her mother; a small cloud drifting in the air. Following that, she felt her legs bop against the mollies tail. "ma..mama? cawn I expwor?"

Wolfwhisper nodded. A part of her wanted to talk to Dawnpaw about her problem but there was a problem. She didn’t really know how to talk about. Perhaps later? She could just not be ready or comfortable to talk about it. She was getting side tracked. So... the first thing to do.... vulnerable parts. Right. She needed to know where the vulnerabilities of her enemy were. That should probably be the first thing she should teach her. “What are the vulnerable parts to strike at?”

"Well, their eyes, tail, scruff, ears, and their throat and underbelly." She mewed a bit plainly. @RainbowQuail

[Quasar]

Boulderclaw padded back into the nursery, a rabbit clutched in his jaws. Padding back over to Asterpaw and Softfeather, he dropped it at her paws. "Here ya go" he softly grunted, his tail waving behind him. He looked back at Asterpaw, "Once we're done here, we're going to tour the territory. You better not waste my time!" he rumbled, narrowing his eyes slightly at the younger tom. Taking another look at Blizzardkit and Bluekit, he noticed that their eyes had opened, and that they were already squirming around and interacting with each other, "Softfeather, their eyes opened." he mewed, a deep purr following his words. He leaned down to his kits, "you're going to be the best warriors the clan has ever seen." he said with a small, barely noticeable smile.

She nodded. Dawnpaw was right but she didn’t like how she lacked her enthusiasm. At least she was paying attention although she hoped she’d still try. Wolfwhisper swayed her tail, observing her. “And the eyes and spine.” Hmm... perhaps.... she needed to start off with a basic fighting move. Frontal paw blow? Yeah, that’d work. “We’re going to be starting off with the frontal paw blow. Remember to keep your claws sheathed. Now, all you need to do is hit your opponent hard on the head.” She got into a defensive position. “Try it on me.”

[lucidense]

Dawnpaw felt it would feel good to fight, get all of that emotion out. She slid her leg back, doing a zig zag motion around her mentor to confuse her. She sped around her mentor with suprising speed. She swept around her mentor from every side to confuse her. @RainbowQuail

He tried to think of a good defense for himself but honestly came back up with nothing. So it was no surprise he had a blank but weary face when she asked her question. "Not really... I just kinda, well, stumbled into their group while trying to hunt..." Well at least he hadn't lied, though it would have been hard to do that in the first place. As she dropped the prey in front of him, he looked up to her thankfully and tried to eat it quickly but politely. Not that he did, but he tried. After finishing, he scraped the bones underneath him to bury later on.

"I'm honestly sorry Twilightstar, I thought if I brought back some prey..." he trailed off, realizing his plan had been stupid from the beginning. Sighing, he looked pleadingly into her eyes hoping she would let him back in, even after making the same stupid mistake twice.

A hint of disappointment twinkled and vanished in her eyes as Shrewpaw somewhat explained himself. She couldn't exactly yell at him for running into rogues again, but there had to be some sort of punishment here. Twilightstar thought as he ate, holding back his warrior ceremony seemed a little cruel considering he had gotten his butt kicked apparently.
"It's nice that you're so thoughtful, but you really should not be going outside of camp without a warrior or mentor. You know that." Her voice was a mixture of compassion and sternness.
"You can come back to WindClan, but three tasks must be done in camp and you can do some extra hunting patrols to make it to the Clan for a week." She should confine him to the camp yet he was probably behind on training and so she wouldn't be that mean.
"Head to Coyotesnarl's den and have him look at your wounds." Twilightstar'll have to talk to Brindlejaw about rogues on the territory.

@Pepperkins - I'll get him placed back on the allegiance, make sure he does at least three chores around camp.
