The softness of the molly's voice seemed to calm the apprentices nerves. "Yeah, that sounds nice.. I'm sorry about your mate." Acornpaw mewed softly, making eye contact.
(Sorry for the short post, I've been having a bit of problems with motivation lately- also, its alright, you aren't late, and Acornpaw doesnt have a training tracker, but he only has one training, and that was a hunting patrol) @Apollo.
Leafnight
Leafnight felt a pang of sadness, Rainyspirit just disappeared without a trace and never told her, she had been meaning to go out looking for her but she just hadn't had time to due to the kits, but now that they were getting older she would probably have time to go out searching. "We can start training tomorrow, sound good?" she asked and gave the apprentice a reassuring smile, "That way you can have full energy before hand."
[Ah okay, Would you like me to make them a tracker? If not thats fine, just please make one soon as that way its easier to keep all of his training together ^^]
"It's fine if you're nervous," Bumbleflight said in a reassuring tone, offering his new apprentice what he hoped was a calming smile. He remembered his own apprentice ceremony and, while he was more excited than nervous then, he certainly understood how Rainpaw felt. "We'll be working hard. So be ready!"
His right ear then picked up the sound of cats approaching and twitched, and the dark brown tabby looked over to see Ashpaw and Darkpetal approach, congratulating the both of them. Bumbleflight felt a bit flustered when Ashpaw started praising him like he was some great warrior, joined with Darkpetal's, simply for helping train him. Was it really that special? Eh... He didn't know how to take compliments so, instead, he licked his cream-colored chest in an attempt to cool down.
"Thanks you two," Bumbleflight said after a few moments. "Perhaps we could have a training session together, if you'd like. What do you think, Rainpaw?"

Ashpaw dipped his head to Bumbleflight, grateful for the chance to train with another apprentice even if he was younger than him. "I would really like to do that. If Rainpaw feels comfortable trying, of course." He threw the newly appointed apprentice a sympathetic look, but soon enough Sparrowstar continued with more announcements.
Three cats had gone missing, and one of that was Nectarflame. Poor her, Ashpaw thought that after Cinderksky's death she had lost every hope and even the role of Keeper didn't help her going on. As soon as their leader reported the last ominous event when a rogue had dared entering in their camp and kidnapping a kit. A growl rumbled deep in his throat, and he couldn't stop himself from commenting in low voice, more to himself than to the cats around him: "The worst thing is that she managed to flee... We should've stopped her."
Ashpaw was determined to get a turn into guarding the camp, day or night, whatever Batblood would choose. Wait, why do we follow him? Shouldn't Copperfire organize the turns? Oh, he's a Keeper. Right. He wondered if Flamepaw would be interested in helping, but he could already guess the answer. She'd been very involved with the rogue problem, and maybe she'd even already asked Sparrowstar to do the job. Yes, I shall speak with Batblood. As soon as the meeting was dismissed, he got up and stretched his legs before looking around for the dark bengal tom.
Green eyes flicked down to Hazelpaw and their littermate as Juniperkit made his punishment for sneaking out known to his sister after she called for his promotion. Hmmm. She would have thought the young tom would have told her earlier, but no matter. At least this was cleared up now.
“If Juniperkit doesn’t break the rules for the next half-moon, I’m sure he’ll be joining you in the apprentice den shortly,” Sparrowstar stated before turning to a rather disgruntled looking Goldleaf. That wasn’t what warriors were supposed to look like after being given one of the most important tasks in the clan… Most were elated or a tad nervous, not bristling at the prospect. “Goldleaf, if you have questions or concerns come see me in my den AFTER the meeting.”
She couldn’t very well have ever cat yowling out when she was trying to talk, or nothing would get done around here.
“For my final announcements,” she stated, adjusting her position on the branch she was seated on as her tone turned stony. “I am sure many of you have noticed our recent rogue problem. Attacks and attempted kitnappings have exploded in frequency recently and I expect every warrior of this clan to be on guard for further attackers. I have set up a rotating guard system at the entrance, the nursery and dirt-place. If you find yourself lacking a job, I expect you to take one of those positions to help watch over the camp or ask Batblood if he needs assistance.”
Glancing over towards the young Keeper dutifully guarding the nursery, Sparrowstar gave him a respectful nod before continuing.
“Potentially related to this issue, Emberkit and Winterkit have gone missing. If you find any trace of them out in the territory I expect you to report back immediately. Alongside those kits, Nectarflame… has also gone missing.”
Pausing to take a steadying breath, Sparrowstar tried not to let the sorrow she felt over yet another loss around her personal life sink in too deep before continuing.
“I managed to trace them to the border, however, her trail ended with a rather thick scent of rogue and the area looked as if a scuffle had happened. If any of you manage to find her, please bring them back to camp… Whatever their state.”
Every fiber of her being prayed that a body wouldn’t be found. She couldn’t handle another permanent loss so soon. Forcibly blinking herself back to the present, Sparrowstar prepped her final remarks as a fresh idea came to mind.
“If anyone has any further concerns, please speak to me or one of the Keepers later. And Moosecrash,” she turned to the large Keeper sitting amongst the crowd. “Please come see me in my den. This meeting is dismissed.”
With a quick leap, Sparrowflight descended the tree before padding over to the den nestled among its roots.
Rainpaw was grateful for the smile and the company of a fellow apprentice. Perhaps Ashpaw could help him get accustomed to all the duties and chores. That would certainly help, and possibly even distract the tom from Quietkit's disappearance. He didn't mind having a training session with Ashpaw.
"I'd like that," the small tom nodded and looked at the gray tabby with eyes full of determination. Maybe being an apprentice wasn't as scary as he imagined. Obviously, it still came with dangers, but nothing compared to that of a warrior. At least apprenticeship prepared cats for what's to come. Turning to what else Sparrowstar had to say, his eyes grew with disappointment and (temporary) anger. Why had his sister not been mentioned? Shouldn't she have been mentioned since she disappeared too?
His brows furrowed into an angry look, Rainpaw growled, "AND QUIETKIT!!! MY SISTER WENT MISSING TOO!!!"
//Apologies for the lack of substance, I have very little motivation right now!

Re: ThunderClan Apprentices' Den
Sycamorepaw | @Wintersun A lithe, calico she-cat with hazel eyes | Afab, She/Her | 7 Moons
______________________________________________
"Watching the moon." Her voice was seriously boring, and for a moment it made Sycamorepaw consider whether or not Dawnpaw actually liked watching the moon. Certainly didn't sound like it.
Conjuring up a flat, unimpressed smile, the girl nodded a few times. "Well, that's great, Dawnpaw. Really great," What else was she supposed to say? 'You sound depressed?' What if she was depressed? What if she was missing a loved one?
Perhaps it was Cinderstar's death that was doing something to her. Sycamorepaw knew that she'd grieved over the death of their leader, but no, Dawnpaw just seems... tired, and bored, both things that Sycamorepaw did not want to be right now.
"Alright, well, I'm going out. Cya." And with that, she'd turn back to the den entrance, her tail swaying sassily as she walked.
– Attempted Exit!
Acornpaw took in Willowpaws expression, and backed up a bit to give her space. He suddenly looked more reserved. "Sorry, I can come on a little strong. Should we go now?" He broke eye contact, looking at the ground. @Wintersun @Fenixwolf

Acornpaw nodded eagerly, a nervous smile spreading across his face. He looked towards the apprentice den- it was probably a good idea to go to bed early, so he was fresh in the morning. "Thanks Leafnight!" He started to walk away, before looking over his shoulder back at them. "I look forward to training with you." He mewed, in an oddly sincere tone. The tom then disappeared into the confines of the apprentice den. @Apollo. (Sure, if its not a hassle- thank you)

Dawnpaw
Dawnpaw looked at the she-cat with an expression that could almost considered annoyed. "No. No you're not. Not alone at least. I'm coming with you." Dawnpaw slitted her eyes into an icy glare, one some would say belonged in ShadowClan. She didn't need an apprentice getting attacked by a badger while out. She had to fight one when she was an average apprentice and she had her mentor. Both of them nearly died that day. She wouldn't have a death on her paws. Dawnpaw didn't pay attention to the calico she-cat and briskly walked off to the exit.

"I see," Her voice was an icy purr; almost snake-like as Dawnpaw decided she'd lead the way. "Of course. Go right ahead." And with a bratty eyeroll, the girl would follow close behind.

Dawnpaw
The she-cat knew the new apprentice couldn't see her and she allowed herself a smug smile, "Oh come on little kit. You think I can't here the eyerolls by now?" She retorted, amusment hiding in her voice.

Sycamorepaw remained silent. She just wanted to get out of camp for a bit. Was Dawnpaw suggesting they go without telling anyone? Surely not, right? The she-cat surely hoped not, as she didn't want to get in trouble for someone else's actions."Let's just go." She huffed. Would Dawnpaw ever get a move on?
