Saying this, the soft gray tabby truly beams at Yewbark. What she said was no lie or stretch of truth, she genuinely admired her denmate's maturity over her own. Maybe they didn't know one another so well- Eldersky probably made a few incorrect assumptions by now- But, the emotion was there. Her grin recedes into a gentle smile, though, and she relaxes to listen to the rest of the meeting.

"We're not all deputies, though," she whispers. "She needs to appoint one! We can't all know what to do- I sure don't."
She'd said what she felt like saying on the matter, and it seemed like Twilightstar was satisfied with the scolding as well. Because they'd moved on to some kits who were ready to become apprentices. Eldersky watches them happily, her tail tip twitching about. She liked kits. As an apprentice, she liked to play with them when she had the chance to. And even now, the tabby felt inclined to share the same take. It wasn't that she wanted her own- Heeeeeell no. That was out of the question! But the lil fuzzbuckets were great in every other way. A little smile rests on her face as she watches them proudly receive their names. How cute.

And then she hears hers.

Twilightstar was addressing her. Speaking to her. Giving one of the new apprentices to HER. Eldersky stares blankly at their leader, then slowly drops her gaze to Lionpaw. "I gotta go," the tabby utters to Yewbark as she stands slowly and pads over to say hello to her very own new apprentice, almost dazed.
As she steps up to Lionpaw, she feels the happiness course through her veins like blood. Her eyes had become round, almost starry as she regards the little feisty thing before her, shouting about becoming deputy, becoming a warrior in a single moon. She was perfect. So perfect! "AAaaaAAaAAh."
Eldersky hadn't meant to say that, in her head she'd actually said "Hello, Lionpaw," but things often never go perfectly.

"AAaAAh Lionpaw!" There! She got the name! Grinning happily, and purring about as loud as possible for a cat, maybe, she dips her head and touches noses with the new apprentice.
"Thanks, Twilightstar!" The warrior manages to squeak out before nudging Lionpaw to move. "C'mon! I have to show you to my friend!" Hopefully Yewbark would like her!

The warrior had a feeling that she, in fact, didn't get it. But Yewbark wasn't going to create an issue over that. It wasn't worth the energy to try and explain. Instead, she sat quietly as Twilightstar moved on, only shifting when Eldersky's name was called.

She flinched away, almost violently, as Eldersky jumped up in exclamation and rushed away to the front of the crowd. Yewbark was happy for her, truly, but stars, did the lady have to be so excited about it? Once the immediate shock subsided, she settled down once more and waited for Twilightstar to continue. Except for the fact that Eldersky was heading back this way. With her equally loud apprentice in tow. Wonderful. Just wonderful. As they were nearing, the next announcement drew her attention. Breezefeather was deputy, huh?

"Ick." she meowed, not entirely of her own fruition. That was an in-the-head thought that made it's way to being an out-of-the-head thought when it wasn't meant to. Hopefully Eldersky hadn't been close enough to catch it. Or any of the cats around them, for that matter.

Lionpaw didnt mind the cry of joy, not at all! In fact, she decided to join in on the fun, her voice blending with her mentors in a weird sort of harmony. It was fun! She liked using her voice to make sounds! ¨AAAAAAHHHHH!¨ She cried out, a large smile on her face. Even as she was nudged over to Yewbark, she continued on with they cry, and she started to sprint over to the other she-cat. ¨YEWTREEEEEEE!¨ She called out, jumping up to cling onto the shoulders of the she-cat. They were totally going to be best friends, that was guaranteed!

Her ears perked at the next announcement, her cry abruptly stopping as she swung her head around to stare at the leader. Had she heard that right? She wasnt deputy? That wasnt right! She thought Twileader was trying to surprise her with the rank, and that she was just playing along! A pout made its way onto her face, she she stamped her paws in frustration, ¨BREEZEEGUY, IM GONNA SHOW YOU THAT IM WAY BETTER AT BEING DEPUTY! JUST YOU WAIT!¨ she hollered, her gaze focused onto the tom. She didnt bother adding ´deputy´ to the end of his name, because in her eyes he had to prove himself to her before she bestowed the holy name upon him!

He shook his head. I already did that... Go into the warriors den? No... Hear a story... NO! He sat down. He laided in his nest. Bumblekit wanted to go outside.

5 moons little Strikekit aproached Bublekit "Hi" It said. (Strikes pronouns are "it")

[Dovey]

// @Russetstorm It isn't the pronoun. It is like a object, like "The doll looked at her. It looked very real" it should be "they"
Well... "It" can be used, but you should say they, for 1 they looks better and 2 they is more respectful for transgender. I don't think I would like to be called a "it"

"Hi!" Bumblekit mew'd. "What are you doing?" He asked the older kit. "Can I join? I'm. so. BORED. I have done EVERYTHING!"

(Strike doens't like they. Strike will only really accept it, as Strike is a weird confused kit who thinks its not a gener, even they.)
"I'm not doing anything really". Mewed Strikekit. "But maybe we can play?" Strikekit asked Bumblekit.

[Dovey]

// @Russetstorm

"Alright! Let's play hide n' seek. I'll seek first!" Bumblekit didn't wait for Strikekit's approval and ran to a wall. "One... Two... Three... ten... five.... twenty three.... eleven...." He miss counted. "Hurry up!"

Strikekit hurryied into a little crack in the stone wall, and itself in with a rock. Bumblekit will never find me! It thought to itself

"IF YOU'RE READY OR NOT I'LL FIND YOU!!!!!!!" Bumblekit darted under moss, then over Swiftsnap, the expecting queen grumbled. Swiftsnap quickly bopped his head and then let him run away. He looked under Strikekit's nest. No. He looked into a differnt crack. No. He looked into the clearing, but no Strikekit. He squeeked back inside and looked into the crack. "Found you!" Bumblekit bounced.

Swiftsnap sat down and sighed. Her kits were due in 2 moons, and she was worried. How could she leave behind her warrior life? What if Shadowclan attacked? What if she couldn't help? It's nothing to worry about! She breathed in and out. What if the birth goes wrong and they die? What if I die at birth, and the kits don't have a mother or a father? She shook her head. I'll be fine.

Sparkfrost dipped his head in gratitude, “Sometimes.” he joked lightly, “I certainly wouldn’t mind being out of camp for a little while longer. “ he admitted. He was still favoring his left leg, but the young warrior seemed mostly oblivious.

"I can imagine," Sagebrook purred. She had almost forgotten he was injured, though. "How is your leg feeling?" She asked, and eyed him as if to say, And don't you dare lie to me. He wouldn't be straining himself-- not on her watch.
