What was next? Did she already mention the healers? The elder had forgot if she had. "Did I say anything about healers?" She asked to confirm if she did or not.
After explaining the ranks, what could she tell Specklekit? She tried to conjure up a memory from her younger moons, though she couldn't think of anything really that interesting. Most of that spanned from when she was basically a kit all the way to joining WindClan. I guess I could tell her how I was blinded. She decided.

"I don't think so." The kitten meowed.

Crinklekit felt her ears draw back with a quick 'hmph' as she stared down the offending queen. As her younger brother, Jaykit, hissed at the meanie, she instead gave her a death glare. Something she was very happy to offer, honestly. If she didn't love her kits, why should she like her? There was no reason to. She paused for a few moments, then lay off of her as Momma scolded Jaykit for doing so. She wanted to avoid trouble with her as she knew she could get scary when she was angry. She didn't like angry Momma very much. But did she say something about new siblings? She felt her eyes widen in innocence and decided to contribute to the meanie-queen and Momma's conversation. "I want new siblings." it might not help, but at least she'd said so.
As her mother pointed out Twi...Twilightstar, she felt her jaw gape at the magnificent she-cat. She stood her ground so strongly, and delivered her messages with a sense of pride. And the Breezerock, it was huge!
"Woah..." She breathed, Turning back to her Momma. She seemed almost uncomfortable for reasons she didn't know. "Awe you okay, Momma?" Turning as Jaykit threw another hissy fit, she lowered her eyelids as if saying, 'are you kidding me?' Didn't Jaykit get it, that he was their big brother? It wasn't a difficult concept for her to grasp, as she'd seen cats like that around camp before, with lots of tiny brothers and sisters.
"Jaykit, Palekit, Momma can be more than one cat's momma. 'Cause she's awesome and she can do anything!" She squeaked in protest, grinning at the cat who claimed to be Momma's son, "You too, Daddy!" She purred, gazing up lovingly at the tom. Perhaps it was a stupid idea, saying what she'd said, because Jaykit seemed to snap. Shock rippled through her as he barked harsh, harsh words at her, and she felt her little grin cease to exist. She let out a small growl, puffing out her small chest as much as she could with her luggy legs.
"You meanie! Momma's wight, I can speak howevew I want! And hah, look! That cat is ouw big bwoder. Dum-dum." She spat, her tiny pelt bristling. She didn't like her little brother very much. Turning to Creekpaw, she frowned for a second before breaking out into a soft smile.
"Hello Cweekpaw!"

Rosepaw sniffed as the kit walked away, not saying anything. She might not be able to turn this kit against Twistedpaw, so that dumb Outsider was worthless. Turning to Twistedpaw, she gave the apprentice a certain “look” before standing up and padding away.

Twistedpaw was confused for a moment. She really did feel bad for Thornkit, but suddenly, it dawned on her. The apprentice’s eyes widened with horror, but she stayed in her nest, silent. That would only make things worse.

Twistedpaw startled a bit at the tiny voice and turned, surprised to hear somebody calling her jaw... cool. “Thanks, but... i-it’s not very fun to deal with,” she admitted in a distorted voice. Her mouth moved oddly. “And... I’m Twistedpaw,” she replied. She didn’t want to bother the kit by telling her to get out of the apprentices’ den.

Emberkit walked into the nursery, fluffing out his fur a bit. He walked over to his sister, Hivekit, and gently nudged her. "Come on Hivekit, why don't we go for a little walk around a bit of the camp, then we can come back, share some fresh kill, and talk hm? Doesn't that sound nice?" He wanted to cheer her up, and he had to mature a lot to be the brother she deserved and needed.

Heathernose gave an encouraging smile to Quiverpaw. She definitely didn’t want the younger cat to get injured- no mentor did! At the question, Heathernose grinned and answered,

“I don’t know if it has a name but it’s a great move to utilize to counter attack someone pushing you upward. You don’t need to use it as a counter, though- many cats will tear back and drop on their opponents as an offensive maneuver. It can be risky if you are fighting a very fast cat as they have a momentarily opening to your belly but it is useful for disorienting one’s opponent when done right. It’s especially liked by large and or strong cats. Would you like to try it before we head back?”

Quiverpaw nodded thankfully at her first statement, glad Heathernose didn't want to beat the knowledge into her - Quiv definitely wouldn't have taken that strategy well. Though, she would admit doing live-action mock fights were fun, at least until she got knocked upside the head.

She listened carefully as her mentor explained what that had been, closing her eyes to picture it once more - her imaginative mind coming in handy. "Yeah, let's see..." After a moment, she gave it a try. The apprentice reared up on her back legs, but went wobbly and off-balance, which would make sense since it wasn't a natural position to take. She barely landed back on her paws, almost falling sideways mid-rear. Embarrassed, she tried to laugh it off. "Could I possibly see it again? Maybe slower?" Maybe if she got a better look at it, that'd help - though it would probably take some more practicing on her own to get it right.

Wolfwhisper was getting close enough to pounce. She flicked her ears, feeling some of the dirt move behind her paw as she ran.

Sparrowkit tilted her head as she pondered Twistedpaw's words. Oh, yeah - it must be hard to speak and eat like that. And hunt - wait, didn't cats use their teeth to hunt? Huh. "Were you born like that?" Sparrowkit asked curiously. Then she blinked and frowned, remembering what her daddy had said about personal questions. Um. "Uh, you don't have to answer that," the kitten meowed quickly. "What's your favorite part about being an apprentice?"

It was quite a pretty day, Hailpaw had to admit, though a feeling of discomfort faintly followed the apprentice as she stept out of the apprentice den. There was a simple reason for it, really, some of her den-mates seemed to continuously glance her way every so often within the middle of their conversation. To her it was a mystery why, mostly, but she did her best on ignoring it despite more frequently noticing such acts. But oh well, it wasn't like their whispers were anything important. For all she knew they could've been discussing a resemblance to someone, like her father even though that would be a bit unusual.

Shaking the thought off, the silver apprentice rather decided on putting her energy into her training and the day's activities; first things first though, her fur was in need of a finished off grooming-- which was quickly done with just a few licks to her back once she settled down within the clearing. Now that was done, what would be next? She knew there should already be one or two apprentices cleaning either the nests in the elder's den or nursery- and there was no way she would be going on tick duty. Nuh uh. Perhaps she could just wait a small moment, get a little bit of extra rest after yet another few short nights. Not to long though.

Twistedpaw gave a tiny shrug. “It’s okay,” she meowed quietly. “I was born with it, yes... and I do like training. Especially with my mentor.” She glanced down at her paws, a pang of sadness running through her.

Dawnpaw perked her ears, hearing the ground move and visioning her mentors paws. When her mentor was directly behind her, she flipped around, showing her teeth. @RainbowQuail
