WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

His second night in the elders den hadnt been... too bad. He had felt calmer, more at peace, as if the den offered a safe haven from the thundering life that the clan had to offer. It was his burrow, away from the anxieties everything offered.
Puffinhop almost squeaked when he was was approached. Why? What was so speical about him that caught this other cats attention? The freckled feline cleared his throat, his tummy rumbling quietly at the sight of the bird between them. Puffinhop paused, refraining from taking the first bite, but he let his head dip in respect to the older warrior -- even if Puffinhop was the elder out of them both. Temporarily anyway.
"O-Oh sorry, yes no! I'm fine, y-yes," He tumbled over his stuttering words like they were some sort of obstacle course.

This was bad and Breezefeather felt an ounce of pity for the small tom before he pushed it away. Pity did no one good, and it just made you feel worse when it came to yourself. Tail twitching, the silver tom looked back to the bird and then back to the young warrior... elder. Yet when he realised he was being respected Breezefeather let out a soft laugh of amusement. "I may be old, but I am not the elder here, young one. No need to be that respectful." He wasn't even that old and let out a puff of amusement again. He was so nervous, worse than the silver tom himself had been when he'd just returned from the clan. At least back then... times ago.. he'd had Roansplash and Buttercupbreeze to help him through his issues, this youngster did not seem to have anyone around to at least support him in anyway. So instead of nudging the bird towards the other cat, Breezefeather pulled the flighty tom in beside him and pulled him into a hug. Hugs were comforting but it also made you aware of how the other cat was feeling, based on the shakiness, if they drew strength from the comfort of it they resented it. "You're going to be fine. Now eat the bird. I am sure, it'll help you." He hoped the other cat didn't feel like he was talking down to them, but after dealing with Cornkit's shyness this was just... something he knew worked around more nervous cats. Instead of yelling at them that was for sure.

[inform me if this a bit too late and the others are walking already. super late reply.]

[others aren’t walking yet, frankly i’m surprised they aren’t walking yet]
Gentlemoo gave a careful lick to his ginger daughter how he loved her dearly.

Flamingkit wriggled away from the soft thing, getting use to the odd cool air that surrounds them. She kicked her legs out moving to a corner and turned again wiggling to the entrance side.

Gentlemoo was happy to see that Flamingkit was active, it was something that relieved him. This one might be a pawful in his mind, but he wouldn’t pay much mind to it.

Maybe Pumapaw was just stupid though. Yeah, that was probably it.
"Okay note taken. I've got to use simple language with you." Quicksilver meowed as he padded after her. The two walked in silence for a moment, before Quicksilver put his paw out in front of Pumapaw to stop her. Her angled his ears forwards, dropping down into a loose crouch. The rabbit they had been stalking was a few fox-lengths away, happily munching away at the grass on the moors. Turning to Pumapaw, he gave a toothy grin. "Rabbit. Chase." He meowed. Hopefully he'd dumbed it down enough to get it through her thick skull.

So finally she was actually going to chase something? Quickass had taken his sweet ass time hadn't he? Pumapaw shook her head but gazed ahead, eyes focused directly on the rabbit. She was the best hunter, this would be easy... Or so she hoped. But did he mean just run directly at it or actually try to hunt it? Sighing she shook her head ad then began moving forward in an imitation of the crouch that Qucksilver had dropped down into. Slowly, ever so slowly, she crept forward and balancing her weight in her hind legs, the short legged apprentice knew she wasn't as fast as everyone else - despite not liking to admit it! - and therefore would have to get closer before she went in for the run. The chase? Was there a difference, she would have to ask Quicksilver later. Yet she was there and would now try... to like actually go for this. Tail straight, eyes focused, the little molly pounced and managed to grab onto the rabbit, but before she could the rabbit was off again and running. It wasn't going to get away! Pumapaw hurried after it and the molly managed to throw herself at it - not exactly gracefully - but she got it down to the ground and instinct set in as she bit down on its neck until she heard the crunch. Looking at the rabbit at her feet she just smiled at Quicksilver. "I'm not as useless as you would think."

Mumbling through the rabbit fur, he nodded "Yeah, it looks good." Taking the lead, he padded over to the spot. It was comfortable with short grass and the morning sun rays beating down onto the apprentice's fur. Settling down, he put the rabbit in front of him, hopefully between the two apprentices. Creekpaw hoped this interaction with Rosepaw went differently than his with Moonpaw. Moonpaw was just a weird cat, flirting with him when they first met.

The tom laughed a bit at her comment. He still couldn't wait to meet them. Their little faces would be so cute! "You better!" He hoped Mountainmist would be the first to congratulate him. Sitting down in front of her, "of course! Moving a little bit away as Mountainmist started to groom his pelt, he draw his paw over her ear. "Hey! I can groom myself!" Being a warrior didn't sound as scary as his own mind was making it seem. He would still be able to hunt with Mountainmist and hopefully he would be able to mentor Crowkit. Crowkit! Right, he wanted to tell Mountainmist about him. The two toms had just clicked and became good friends. "Oh Mountainmist! Guess what!"

She did feel completely beaten up though, the former Shadowclan warrior was no weak pushover by any means despite their demoted status. Despite feeling wrecked, she wanted to go out on a hunt, not liking to spend her time sleeping or drowsing. It wasn't in her nature. Tail flicking she walked over to, who was it, Thornleaf? What a weird name. Hmph. Hers was weird too. But did thorns really have leaves? Yet then you could ask the questions if weasels did skip along the ground. She didn't know either. So approaching them she flopped onto the ground in dramatic fair and rolled onto her stomach staring them directly into their eyes. "Wanna go hunting lazybones? Or are you too busy soaking up this wonderful sun and refusing to get along with my oh so pretty self?"

Thornleaf continued to enjoy the sun when a cat that just acme into camp padded over to him. The tom sat up rather quickly and looked at Weaselskip. "I was going to do some hunting later, but i guess it wouldn't hurt to go now.", he meowed. The sun did felt nice, but he wouldn't just lay here for hours or he might get a sun burn underneath his fur. He had one before and never again would he if he could help it.

Seedkit looked at her. "Sure. I have nothing better to do and a game will really wake me up.", she meowed. The molly didn't know what to play though. maybe Cherrykit might have some ideas.

"Why don't we grab something to eat. You must be hungry" Eaglepaw suggested.
