"Uh, yes." Said Leaf embarrased. "Well, anyone in specific, though I would have prefered Fireleg." "He's my mate". Leaf added and gestured to her belly. "I was wondering if.. I could join your clan because of this, and rasie my family there?" She asked

Stripeseed glanced about the clearing. Another sunrise, another patrol. He supposed he pitied Breezefeather for having the difficult job of dealing with such a lazy Clan, but if he had been deputy, he would have spread out the tasks so that the camp wouldn't be left vulnerable. Lashing his tufted tail in irritation, he sighed. It would be so much more efficient if he was running the Clan.

Glancing around, he spotted his young partner at one end of camp. He resisted the urge to arch his brow skeptically; didn't the deputy think better of him to send him alone with an unexperienced 'paw? But he kept his tone cool as he addressed the younger cat.

"Greetings," he mewed with a shallow dip of his head. "I assume you're ready to hunt? Daylight won't save itself," he added brusquely. Not waiting for a reply and turned as if to pad towards the entrance. "Coming?"


(Sorry for the late reply and that he's such a grump... I think he'll soften up eventually Do you want to move the next post to the training moor?)

"So we're headed towards the training moor?", Seedheart asked, wanting to make sure. She saw the apprentice nod and give out a twitch. She felt sorry for the young tom. He seemed to do it all of the time. It was better than having three legs at least to her it was. The warrior lead the apprentice on and once they got to a good spot she parted her jaws to get a scent. She scented rabbit and hoped he found it too.

Twitchpaw scented the rabbit as well.

(You can still join our patrol)

(Oh, sorry I didn't see this when I replied to the first thread! I won't be as late to reply in the future; I'm sorry you had to wait this weekend )

Stripeseed noticed Twitchpaw slipping out of camp with Seedheart, heading towards the moor. He sat up in stretched. Apprentices these days, he thought with an irritable flick of his tail. No patience for the warriors. He stood and followed the pair noiselessly out onto the moor.

The day was warm for so late in leaf-fall, and he let the breeze rustle his fur with a little smile of pleasure. He had always been more peaceful alone than with any of his Clanmates, code-lax as they were. He trailed behind the other cats at a small distance, content to let them talk as he prepared himself to enter the patrol.

The moor neared. Parting his jaws and raising his face to the wind, the tortoiseshell warrior caught a hint of rabbit in the air. By his clanmates' pricked ears and perked tails, he could tell they scented it too.

He bounded over in a few quick leaps. "I'm here," he pointed out helpfully. "Should we scout out the hare, and then circle it?" He was too excited by the prospect of a hunt to let any of his usual acid penetrate his tone.

“I—of course...but I was wondering...well—or maybe—perhaps I could join you?” The young warrior stammered, looking surprisingly guileless as he fumbled with the request.

(Sorry this was late )

Sagebrook's ear twitched in affection as he stammered out his request. Eloquent as he usually was, it was endearing to see him being so adorable. Trying not to let her face show her delight that he had asked, she only had to consider the proposition briefly-- she already knew the answer. For a moment she didn't speak, but when she did her tone was light, with a hint of a purr. "Of course you can, furball," she said. "I would be honored." Tentatively, she snaked her light gray tabby tail around to twine with his.

(No worries!)

Sparkfrost exhaled in relief, his icy eyes bright with admiration. He brushed his head against the she-cat's pelt, a deep, rumbling purr rising from his throat, "Thank you," he mewed. He felt almost lightheaded, his black and white pelt emanating warmth. He felt...safe, and sincere. He had never been vulnerable or viewed as anything but an asset to the clan. He was a prodigal warrior, and for most of his life, that had been his only identity. For the first time, he was more than that--a friend, a companion, a...his thoughts drifted. A mate? The idea further softened the young cat's expression, and he reluctantly pulled away from Sagebrook, comely features gentled and guileless, "Let's get some sleep." he decided, his voice low and reverberating with a residual purr.

Sagebrook had never been more comfortable with any other cat in the clan, she reflected as she padded after Sparkfrost into the warriors' den. The feeling of his fur pressed against hers, the gentle expression in his brilliant blue eyes... she knew that if there was any cat she would want to be her mate, it was Sparkfrost. She breathed in his heathery scent as they slipped into the shadows of the den, and even as her paws sagged with fatigue, her heart was light with hope. "Goodnight, Sparkfrost," she murmured sleepily as with curled into the nest for the night, and the last sensation she had before falling asleep was the tom's steady breathing as he pressed close beside her.

(I guess we can just move the next post into the morning if you want )

"Sure!" Skykit squeaked happily. "Me and Blazingkit(@Checkmate) Are trying to catch Hedgekit (@Shadeleaf)!" "It's because she pawed em' in the face, so we gotta get her back! Also, is that what the figting game is called? Mossball?" She asked, confused. What was a mossball anyway? Was it another word for fight? Was it another weird clan name? (I hope you don't mind that Skykit is kinda sucking up Leafkit into all the Kit Battle Royale crazieness... I forgot to close that roleplay I think, I don't know if I'm supposed to do that, or RP in two places at once, very confusing- this will probaly all make since to me when I get better at roleplaying..)

Bun-Bun blinked in shock,” So you are one of those savage wild cats my mama warned me about, you don’t seem savage! I’m Bun-Bun!” she squeaked ruffling her fur out so she would look less like a kit, since the savage wild cats ate kittens like her. She was being so brave, her mother and housefolks would be so proud.

@Beyond_Carrot

(Sure!)

"Goodnight." Sparkfrost mewed softly. He curled up next to her, savoring her closeness, and finding himself almost immediately lulled to sleep--no pervasive thoughts, no worries whatsoever...just sincere feeling of peace and comfort that he had never felt before. Sunrise brought frost and amber light to the WindClan camp, the brisk air carrying a warning of snow in the coming future. The silken blades of prairie grass were crusted with a crystalline later of ice, the wind gently rattling the brittle stalks. Sparkfrost, who normally would have been wide awake, was curled up next to Sagebrook, snoring softly, a forepaw occasionally twitching as he dozed.

They were going fishing, great. Most windclan cats never even got their paws wet. "Yup", he sighed. He wasn't looking forward to this, but he knew he had to do it anyway.

(He'll probably know. Also, does Wolffang know how to fish, because Tidepaw doesn't)
@TheNyanCatMinecart

(No, Wolffang was never taught how to fish. Or actually, he might’ve heard of it from a story or something. So maybe they’d be able to do something. Also, Wolffang isn’t going to fall into another stream. XD)

Wolffang nodded. He agreed with Tidepaw even though the tom hadn’t been born in WindClan. Seriously, more than half of their members weren’t pure WindClan anymore. And he hated it! “Alright, then let’s go,” he muttered. Stuck with a non-Clan apprentice on an assignment that they both didn’t know how to do. Then he thought determinedly, I could at least try, as much as I hate getting my paws wet. Show Tidepaw that a true WindClan warrior doesn’t give up! He began to head for the entrance.

(You can post a follow-up, then I’ll make a post where we’ll patrol.)
