Not wanting to embarrass her any more, he held back any teasing remarks that came to mind. "I might even get to spend a whole day relaxing," he laughed, tail swaying gently behind him. "That's something I haven't done in... ever, actually." Even as a kit, when he obviously couldn't work, he'd always end up having something to do during the day - typically playing with his sister or other kits in the nursery with them.

"Ah, he does look similar to you." The tom nodded. "I don't believe I've ever spoken to him, though. Sunmist fell quiet as he recalled the day where Whisperbranch had come back to camp after the fateful battle that resulted in his injury. He actually hadn't seen much, as he'd been watching a litter of kits for one of the queens and quickly rushed them into the nursery - both so they wouldn't have to see anything too scarring, and so that they wouldn't get under anyone's paws as Whisperbranch was taken care of. "Well, I'm happy that he's got some cats to speak to. I'm sure he'll get to be more like his old self as time grows on, so long as he has the support of friends and family." He gave a hopeful smile; even if he didn't know Duskwing's brother personally, he still wished the best for his clanmates.

The tabby watched Duskwing carefully, trying to see her reaction, but her expression was blank and he had no luck in guessing her thoughts. She hadn't lashed out, at least, so Sunmist took that as a good sign. "No cat can really blame you for being closed off, though it will drive others away." He gave a quick pause in his words. "I'm glad we've been able to have this chat. It's nice to see you opening up to others." The tom gave a smile and nudged her back. "Of course. I've been looking for an excuse to bring out Stern Sunmist," he joked, laughing quietly.

Sunmist nodded in agreement. "So am I. Really. Not to brag or anything, but I think I turned out pretty okay thanks to that." He gave another chuckle before abruptly quieting down to listen to what the molly had to say. He nodded along, showing he was listening as she spoke, and didn't say anything until he was sure she was finished. "Most apprentices aren't great right off the start. All that matters is that you learned what you had to do, and you're a great warrior now." Pausing as his whiskers twitched, he tried to recall the gathering where Duskwing fought with another apprentice, but he must not have been to that gathering as nothing came to mind. "Okay, I need to hear that story!" He laughed and fixed his gaze on the molly, an expectant look on his face.

Duskwing couldn't remember the last time she had truly relaxed. Sure, she had time like this to chat and walk around, but there was always something for her to do before or after. "As nice as it sounds to just lay back and relax, I can't help but feel as though I'd go a little crazy doing that. I always feel the need to be doing something productive." She chuckled. "At least with going on walks I can hunt along the way." Even when she was younger, she needed things to do. Albeit being shy and timid at such an early age, she enjoyed playing with her brother and chasing the nifty toys that they had made with moss and leaves.

"Yeah.. As I said, he always was on the shy side like me." She offered a small smile at the thought of how quiet her brother was. He used to hide behind their mother when they were kits and couldn't stand up for his poor sister, let alone himself. It never bothered Duskwing much, seeing as they were still able to confide in each other back then. "Slowly but surely.." The molly hummed, thoughts of her brother's overall improvement flooding her head. He was getting better, but it was still going to take some time.

"Stern Sunmist?" Duskwing eyed Sunmist over and snorted out loud. "I'd love to see that." As the tom questioned her gathering situation, she felt her fur heat up with embarrassment. "You do? ..Well. I suppose it's only fair since you told yours." She thought back to the day it happened and cringed. "It was my first gathering.. I had been a fairly new apprentice at the time along with my brother. I remember going with him and a couple other apprentices with all of our mentors." She paused, trying to recall the exact details. "This Thunderclan apprentice walked up to me and started insulting our clan. I still don't know why he was pestering me specifically about it-- must have thought he was some big-shot or whatever."

With an amused eyeroll, Duskwing continued. "Anyways, it got to the point where he made a comment about how Shadowclan was full of cowards and mousebrains. He tried to drag my brother into it and something just.. I don't know.. Set me off? I tackled him and we started tumbling around before the gathering had officially started. We were pulled away from each other and I got stuck with changing the Elders' nests for most of my apprentice-hood as punishment. It was the first time I ever stood up for anyone, including myself." Memories came racing back, the image of two angry apprentices rolling around like a tumbleweed and batting at each other had been.. Pretty funny now that she thought about it. It was like watching two kits fight over who got to be the leader and the deputy during playtime. "I, uh, ended up really embarrassing everyone there." She broke into a fit of laughter at the end of her story, the shame from it washing away. It had been such a petty fight that even she could laugh at it.

Rabbitpaw dashed into the territory, cringing as he heard the screeches and yowls fading behind him. He wasn't prepared for the battle. In fact, he didn't even believe in all of that Starclan nonsense up until now. The young tom skidded to a halt once he was sure he was far enough. Am I safe? He looked over his shoulder, fur on end. Can they get me? Will they get me? He took a few steps forward before stopping beside a tree. "Are we going to loose?" He muttered to himself. "Will they take over the clans? Why are they doing this, why are they attacking their own clanmates?" He looked up, quickly remembering that no one was there. And I'm... Talking to myself again..

Cinder'Paw bolted through the territory looking behind her as she ran.'I-Is this my fault for getting into a stupid fight with the riverclan cat?! Oh, starclan I don't wanna die!'. She then felt a sudden impact from in front of her, she landed with a thump on the ground."O-Ow....".She stood up and shook her pelt before she jumped a bit in fear at the other apprentice."P-Please Don't hurt me!".She said frantically her grey and blue eyes stared at the tom.

“Are we all going to- Ah!” Rabbitpaw turned and darted up the tree, frightened that the was going to get killed. “Please don’t hurt me!” He screeched, not able to hear whatever the other apprentice was saying. “Whatever I did I’m sorry! Just please, please don’t hurt me! I’ll- I’ll do anything! I won’t tell, I- I promise! I’ll even leave the clan if you want, just please, please don’t hurt me!” He clung onto the tree branch, terrified of what the apprentice might do.

Cinder'Paw blinked a bit in surprise coming to her senses when she saw the other apprentice bolt up the tree, he looked terrified."H-Hey I-I'm not going to hurt you! S-so please come down!". She forced on a bubbly smile but she was still shaken from the recent events and she felt her legs tremble.

Rabbitpaw stayed where he was. “I... I don’t believe you!” The black tom dug his claws into the bark as he began to tremble. Should I trust her? No, I can’t, what if she is one of them? He looked away from Cinderpaw. If I stay here she might kill me... But if I go down she can also attack me, but if I stay up here I’ll be caught.. After a few moments he scrambled down the tree and darted away. I’ve gotta get out of here! I’ve gotta run before she kills me!

Cinder'Paw looked on in shock now feel on edge due to being alone."W-Wait up!".She darted after him, goving occasional glances over her shoulder.'I don't think he's apart of the traitors...it will be better to stick together!'. Thinking this she tripped on a rock and knocked into the Tom,the two of them tumbled down to the Forrest floor."Ow...".

Rabbitpaw gasped as he was pushed forward. I knew it, I’m going to die! He crashed into the ground, shocked. He laid there for a few moments, thinking about his clan, then he placed his paws over his eyes, still trembling. “P-please.. I- I- I don’t wanna die, please don’t hurt me..” Rabbitpaw flattened his ears. I can’t believe I won’t become a warrior..

Cinder'Paw shook her pelt and went over to the Tom, she gave a kind smile as she spoke as softly and wholeheartedly as she possibly could, trying to keep her bubbly personality alive."I-It's okay! I'm not going to hurt you! Don't you think that if I wanted to hurt you I would of done that already?". She said in a half bubbly tone and half nervous tone.

Seathorn was angry, brows furrowed as she padded out from the camp. The tortoiseshell had once again gotten angry, because she couldn't get her nest just perfect. Thinking about it made her hiss to herself, fury pricked at her pads as she walked. Sea flicked her tail, calming down a bit, but a feline caught her eye. It was a molly, who'd she'd seen before...just never talked to. So she technically didn't know her. But the molly always seemed to be a bit abnormal, and a big flirt. Though this time, she'd seemed calm, and collected.
