Brightpaw curiously bounced around the open field of which was windclan territory. They knew that they shouldn't be out here without a warrior but the ignored that information. Brightpaw had to get out of camp, and that they did. Amazed at the open expanse of land they sat down, paying attention to all the little details.

Fallenstorm moved softly across the territory. She was bored until she saw something. Sighing the cream warrior changed her direction to walk towards the apprentice. Stopping Fallenstorm sat down and studied the moor where they where. “Why risk getting in trouble?” She asked simply. Not offering her name. Not asking the apprentices. Fallenstorm wasn’t even truly paying attention. @Saltyteardrops

The apprentice was only the tiniest bit of surprised to have the warrior approach them from behind. "What's the point of living a life with no risks?" They countered, continuing their veiwing of the scenery. Brightpaw watched rabbit that was many fox-lengths away. They pondered what that rabbit was thinking, and if it knew that it was in danger by just being on this side of the border.

Fallenstorm thought for a few seconds. “There is no such thing as a life without risk. If there is no risk your apparently not living. But punishment and risk are different.” She said. Seeing the rabbit Fallenstorm studied it narrowing her eyes. “Can you catch it?” She asked suddenly. No reason besides curiosity edged this question on. @Saltyteardrops

Shockholly, mid application, completely blanked as they saw Croak8ngtoad offer water to Echopaw. Never once did they think to ask if she was thirsty.
They had to force themself to go back to work, and in the end, they ended up using 2 of the 3 marigold Beepaw had picked up and all of the cobwebs brought with them.
Once they were done (Beepaw seemed to have occupied herself with a pat h of grass), they looked to Croakingtoad.
"You took a while to catch up. I'm glad you did, though. I was too busy thinking about the treatment, it never crossed my mind she might need nourishment. "
Their tail wrapped uncomfortably around their hind leg as they sat up and straightened themself.
"Thank you, both of you."
They looked to Beepaw to see her reaction, who had glanced up long enough to look embarrassed and went back to watching the grass.

The tom heard a smack and padded forwards, concerned. "It doesn't matter if you got the rabbit ... are you okay?" the apprentice asked, unable to see his mentor through the calming darkness. Eaglepaw fell silent, waiting for the warrior to reply to his question.

(Sorry this reply took so long. I kind of lost motivation for a while)

[so, so, so sorry! this got lost under all my quotes <3]

Littlewish coughed, head spinning from the sudden impact. He...he seemed fine. Nothing seemed broken. His head just really, really hurt. He released a string of colourful words before nodding to his apprentice. Not as though he could see him in the dark tunnel. But it was the thought that counted, no?

"I'm doing fine. I'm just splendid." He insisted, though his usually perky tone had been pricked with hesitancy. Just splendid. I'm in a small, cramped tunnel, with a sore head and no sense of direction. I'm doing jolly well. Nabbing the rabbit by its scruff, he whipped around to turn back.
"Ready for the light, champ?"

Why is he so happy? Echowind thought with an annoyed flick of her tail. Simple. He was probably glad that he succeeded at irritating her. She wished she could smack that smug grin off his stupid face. But that wouldn't look very good for her, and it certainly wouldn't get her Coyotesnarl's place when he dies or becomes leader. She sheathed and unsheathed her claws, trying to keep her bottled up emotions from exploding. This cat wasn't Whispertail. She couldn't let him know anything about her. No one knew anything about her, at least not the real her.

"Don't call me that," she hissed, narrowing her yellow eyes. Why did I agree to this? I'm probably the most socially awkward cat in the Clan! Waiting for Littlewish to take the small seat she had left over for him, she internally laughed. As a really tiny cat, she was used to having the small seats! Toms, hm? "It depends who. If they're like you then I want to rip their throat out," she answered, maybe a little too honestly. She had to stop herself from saying But if they're like My Whispertail than I don't mind. She glared at the tom, awaiting his reply.

[so sorry! this got buried under all my quotes <3]

Littlewish grinned at the annoyance on her features. Everything was going according to plan. Honestly, happiness was so easily manipulated into cats. Tease them and taunt them enough and you'd always get a laugh out of them. It always worked...well, almost always. He felt Echowind's pelt tense up beside him. Lowering his gaze to her paws, he noticed the sharp flicks of ivory sliding inwards and outwards. In, and out. In, and out. In- The tom placed a gentle paw atop of hers, eyeing her claws with a raised brow. She needed to take a chill pill. Honestly, this would never work if she didn't let the magic happen.

"I must protest- I have free speech, ma'am. If you are not satisfied, I will call you Cuddles." He declared, his tone formalizing. An ironic nickname for a perfectly unpleasant cat. She needed to lighten up. Huddling closer just to get a groan, a dreamy smile slid into his maw.
"I knew a tom, once. But he was taken from me. Alas, I have not seen him since our last meeting. And he was such a handsome one, too." The cream tom emitted a heavy sigh and rested his head against Cuddles' shoulder. "You must have a tragic love story too, no? If ya dont, I can get into all the wonderful details about mine."

--I'ma say she's not pregnant yet because i cloned her bc i forgot about this lol--
-Echowind-

Echowind wanted to explode. Why, StarClan? Of all cats to be 'talking to' why Littlewish? Today she had learned why she shouldn't talk to annoying cats. The molly continued to sheathe and unsheathe her claws. Why? She didn't know, she just... Did. She hissed when Stupid put a paw on top of hers, hoping
he'd get that he should stop. As much as she wanted to hurt him, she also didn't. She knew how difficult it would be for her, which is why she struggled with fighting.

"No, no you won't. That is, if you'd like me to stay." She growled and moved away a little when he slid closer to her. "That's... Great, I guess... No wonder he couldn't hold on to someone. She could barely stand seeing him just once. "I..." The she-cat wasn't quite sure what to say to that. "I... I do," she finally admitted. "But I can't tell." As much as she'd love to spill the whole thing, she couldn't. She couldn't risk her relationship with Whispertail. She loved him to much. She shrugged away from the annoying tom. "But I can assure you, I do not want to hear yours."

@Mal
"I doubt it." Brightpaw replied, their blue eyes still intently focused on the little creature. But I don't think I'd want to anyway, They were slightly confused as this thought crossed their mind. The lynx-point normally wouldn't hesitate to hunt prey, besides the fact that they didn't know anything other then the basic hunter crouch. The apprentice let out a small sigh as the rabbit disappeared down it's hole.
