WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

Crunch crunch- someone was eating bugs and Rushingmoor knew exactly who it was. Shaking his head and muttering under his breath about how that kid was going to choke and die, Mushy stomped over to Stagpaw and smacked a beetle out of his paw.

“Stop eating bugs, ya nut!”

Reaching out with the same paw, Rushingmoor tried to annoy the younger cat by attempting to rub his paw over his head vigorously.

Dimtail stopped, sniffing the air for prey, and catching a scent, crouched down. He flicked his tail to indicate Nightpaw to do the same. @Cocoa <3

Nightpaw did as he was told, glad to have something to take his mind off of Blackpaw.

The apprentice continued to prod. Curiosity taking over him as he shimmied his lanky frame closer. Angling to take a better look before once again meeting the other apprentice's eyes. His own hues a striking lime green.
"Well, I guess I should be asking why you have orange fur, rather than what it belongs to."

Graypaw's whiskered twitched at the mention of foxes. He hadn't really considered yet that Chickadeepaw could have been killed by a fox. But oddly enough the wound looked too...clean? Like it seemed like it came from a cat who had gotten a battle training session or two, Graypaw didn't know much about foxes but they didn't seem to live in clans with an organized system and battle training sessions, he assumed a wound from a fox would be more brutal and...okay he did not know how to describe it. It didn't look like it came from an animal.
"No, no. It's can't be from a fox." He said briskly. But how would he explain why? Should he tell this cat that he found a dead body and was trying to solve a murder? "I...it's...look it involves stuff that doesn't concern you. I mean unless you really want to know."

Antlerkit grinned at Hedgekit's quizzical look. Her sister could be such an oblivious idiot sometimes - focusing on the stuff that was important, instead of having fun. Seriously? "Playfight?" Antlerkit groaned. "Come on, we can do something better than that. Hey - do you want to make it a competition? I love competitions! Don't you, Hedgekit?"

"WOOHOO!!" Coyotepaw howled with glee, charging up to Lionkit with a bounce. "We're gonna be denmates! And you can go out in the territory and I can show you all the BEST bug spots that Weasel showed me!" She was so excited for her friend to join her adventures! She was pretty unaware of the age gap between them, as she was herself unaware that she was a little old to be an apprentice due to her slow learning. She didn't care! It wasn't what was important. What was important was all of the fun she could have while still being an apprentice.

Featherflames looked down at poor Snakekit as he snuggled up against her. "Yes dear, you are sick," she gently mewed to her adoptive son. Featherflames looked up at Shockholly, worry written all over her face. "It looks to me like Whitecough. Maybe even Greencough. He's coughing, and he's very hot." @Cocoa <3 @Rainquail
(Found out that you treat it with catmint, if there's a fever, you use tansy or borage as well. Apparently Whitecough is like a cough, and greencough is like pnemonea. Both are very contagious, and possibly deadly to kits or elders. I thought she might be able to identify it cause she's an experienced queen.)

Oblivious to the moments that Coyotepaw was remembering, she pretended to roll away from an imaginary hit, almost rolling straight into the other she-cat, though she stopped herself just before impact. Getting up and shaking out her thick pelt, she peered over the apprentices shoulder and watched in awe as the master worked her magic.

"Yeah!" Coyotepaw agreed with a nod. "Then there's gonna be TWO Lionstars, but you'll be the even better one!" she encouraged, continuing to turn over rocks. "What will your warrior name be, Lionkit? Something tough and cool! Like LIONSCREAM or LIONFIGHTER! and you'll kick Dawnleader's butt real good! She won't even know what hit her!" she mused, picking up a beetle and tucking it under her paw to keep.

"This is Beetleboy and I'm gonna keep him! I found my bug. Should we keep looking for more, you think?" She was always down to keep bug-hunting, but she wanted to ask what Lionkit wanted to do.

Hedgekit twiched her tail slightly. Sometimes, her sister was really dismissive of her interests, which made her mad.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO CONDESCENDING! I HAVE MY GOALS AND YOU HAVE YOUR INTERESTS!!!! WHO SAID YOUR IDEAS WERE BETTER THAN FIGHTING!!??!!!!!I do love competitions, though..." she finished after taking a long breath.

(LOL Hedge has some serious anger issues btw. She basically goes full on Bakugou when she's mad.)

[Cobra]

[ pfft, i get it, i have anger issues lmao ]

Antlerkit rolled her eyes, deciding she was going to start to aim blows at her sister's stupidity. Unfortunately, Hedgekit wanted to explode with anger. "Who me?" she gasped. "I am never like that at all." Antlerkit let out a quick purr. "C'mon, Hedge, it's not that big of a deal! Yeah, maybe my ideas are better than fighting, maybe they're not! (all I know is that fighting is really exhausting and boring) Yeah, competitions are GREAT! Want to do one? Whoever wins gets extra time with Dad! Good idea, amirite? Say yes say yes say yes!" Antlerkit excitedly widened her eyes at her sister.

@Cobra

Hedgekit twiched an ear thoughtfully, the anger gone from her face.
"OK, but what are we going to compete in? Running, jumping, anything? Like, we can't just sit and do nothing and call it a competition." she mewed. She'd let the comment about their dad slide. They were family and she knew he was busy being a warrior and had to make equal time for both of them.
