Risingstorm - 27 Moons - Warrior - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Stonefell, Sootheart, Addermask, Rainblossom, Open!

Risingstorm averted his gaze when Stonefell and Sootheart took turns bashing in the ex-medicine cat's skull, which was luckily for him easier to do as he was firmly grasping his hind end. His ears and whiskers twitched every time he felt their paws connect with his squishy brain and soft skull; it was a similar sound to the crunching of his prey's bones, yet there was something particularly gruesome about these sounds. It greatly perturbed him, yet he was glad that they were putting him out of his undead misery. Such a respected cat -- any cat, really -- didn't deserve such a fate of unrest.

Hearing his leader's summons was a welcome relief, as he most certainly needed his mind to be pulled away from the unfortunate situation he had just resolved with the help of his fellow warriors. He was rather impressed by Addermask's strength and discipline from holding him down. His eyes briefly narrowed in satisfaction, remarking to himself the equal show of discipline, loyalty, and responsibility upheld by both Stonefell and Sootheart.

While he did not approach Talltree and remained by the sides of the small group and Maplestream's cooling body, he proudly shouted Rainblossom's name to the treetops. What a beautiful warrior name, he thought to himself, one that is very fitting for her. Welcome to our ranks! What a wonderful turn of events after all of these troubling events. And Oakpaw is next!

His gaze softly rested on Stonefell, his whiskers twitching once again with a semblance of delight and pleasure that she mentioned his name as well as showed her resilience on conquering her disquieting emotions over the disposal of Maplestream; it was a side of her he had not yet seen. "Yes, I agree," he began, his gaze unwavering from her, "I think it would be best to bury him first. He deserves our respect, and final peace. Then we absolutely must find water among Twolegplace; it's a shame we can't invite Rainblossom, though, for this trip. I'm sure she would appreciate some fresh water as a reward for her promotion. Tomorrow, though, I'm sure!"

He most certainly felt a sinking feeling as Terrastar left camp with Owlpaw, but he knew it was of the utmost importance for the young apprentice to receive his medicine cat name. He just hoped they would make it to the moonpool without any trouble.

Sootheart - 14 moons - Warrior - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Stonefell, Risingstorm, Addermask


Sootheart's ears pull back when Stonefell says she'll leave with the two toms. Does that mean she isn't invited too? Sootheart tries not to be upset and shakes off the feelings eating at her. Her flame colored eyes study Risingstorm as he speaks, noting that his eyes never leave Stonefell. Does he like her? Sootheart decides it is none of her business if Risingstorm likes how brave and awesome Stonefell is and it definitely isn't her business if Stonefell likes Risingstorm's kindness. She doesn't care. She frowns as she bends down and tries to get some of Maplestream's body on hers to carry out of camp. Her eyes avoid the other three cats, still a little hurt that she's apparently not invited on their water retrieval. Her throat constricts from thirst and something else. She grits her teeth and ignores it. She's just being weak and wild cats aren't weak. So she has to toughen up.

Stonefell cocked her head to the side and nodded, "Yes, perhaps we should wait until morning to find water then?" Dipping down to assist Sootheart with carrying Maplestream's body, she noted how sad the shecat looked. Was it something she said? Stonefell had hoped Sootheart would be happy to go find water.

Misreading the mood, Stonefell nudged Sootheart and attempted a smile. "You don't have to come along tomorrow, if you don't want to. I know...dealing with all the undead cats has been hard."

His gaze wandered to Sootheart's disappointed face, her flame colored eyes briefly betraying her disheartened feelings. His emerald and blue-tinted eyes softened upon the younger warrior, knowing all too well what it feels like to be disappointed. He hoped he or Stonefell didn't say anything out of turn to offend her! Perhaps all of her bravado that was mustered up for the slaying of Maplestream had passed? She certainly was a brave young warrior, one he certainly already found himself respecting her greatly already. So young, and so full of promise. He could hardly stifle a purr while ruminating about her, so instead he lashed his tail briefly in amusement.

"I think would be a wise idea," Risingstorm agreed, returning his gaze back to Stonefell. "Birchheart is still here, but now that Terrastar left for the moonpool and Rainblossom is standing vigil, I'm sure it wouldn't be wise to leave camp now. Besides, I'm sure we're all tired after the long day we've had, and burying Maplestream will take even more out of us. I'm you you might agree with that, too, Addermask?" He certainly didn't wish to leave the tom out of the conversation. Especially when he still planned on attempting to make amends with him.

The young warrior is thankful when Stonefell takes some of the weight of Maplestream's body. He's heavier than she expected. "Thank you," she sighs. Sootheart turns to Stonefell when she feels a nudge and the feeble smile directed at her makes her feel worse. Apparently it was noticed that she was upset. Sootstep's ears pull back, imagining how weak she seems to her new idol. "No! I want to go. I-I'm fine," she says in a rush, a little louder than she meant to. She winces, hoping she didn't come off as desperate as she thinks she did. After a moment, she realizes how Stonefell had worded that last sentence. "Are you okay, Stonefell? I didn't know Maplestream, but he was your medicine cat..."

Her ears perk at hearing Risingstorm speak. Hmm. She didn't even think about the danger the camp could be in with Terrastar and Oakpaw out of camp. Sootheart glances the other cats over. They didn't look too tired to her, but she doesn't complain. Carrying this body is hard and she is getting a bit tired.

While Risingstorm speaks to Addermask, Sootheart smiles. She never known a more polite cat than Risingstorm. All the kittypets she grew up around were selfish. It was just how things were. Seeing a cat being so sincerely nice is unusual to her, which peaks her interest. She doesn't realize she's staring as she studies him, wondering if she can find his secret to being nice.

Birchheart - 26 Moons - Deputy - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: anyone, Open!

Birchheart trotted around the camp. She carefully watched as her clanmates buried Maplestream. She noticed Sootheart standing around, staring at Risingstorm. She quickly padded over to Sootheart. “Hey! I don’t think we’ve formally met, but I’m Birchheart!” She meowed cheerily. She watched carefully. She wanted to seem relaxed, even though she was on constant alert. The she-cat knew that her clan couldn’t handle an attack form Aetherclan without their leader. She shook her head, and patiently waited for Sootheart’s response.

Blinking, Sootheart notices Birchheart had come up to her. She smiles, waving her tail at the cheerful she. She hasn't met the deputy, but she's only heard good things about her. "Hello Birchheart. I'm Sootheart. It's nice to meet you," she replies, her eyes taking in a small hint of worry behind the easygoing smile, but doesn't say anything about it. She's probably worried like everyone is about the rising tensions between the clans.

"Do you need help with anything? I can assist with anything," the grey warrior says, maybe a bit too enthusiastically. It would definitely show her loyalty if she helps the deputy with tasks, right? Her flame colored eyes flick back to Stonefell, Risingstorm, and Addermask, seeing if they need her for anything before turning back to Birchheart.

"Hello, Birchheart," Stonefell meowed, respectfully dipping her head at the other shecat. She listened as Birchheart and Sootheart spoke and smiled at Sootheart's enthusiasm. Seeing Sootheart look back at her for approval, Stonefell flashed her a smile. "Go ahead," she said, sitting back, "we'll head out to find water in the morning."

As she watched Sootheart and Birchheart trot away, Stonefell turned to Addermask and Risingstorm. "Rest up," she meowed, "we had a rough day so we need all the rest we can get before heading to Twolegplace."

He smiled at Birchheart's approach. The flirty, bubbly, friendly she-cat was always a welcome sight to witness. He was most certainly proud to see his friend handle her new status so smoothly in the light of the attack by Fernstar against their leader, and the eerie words that the undead cats were preaching. We might soon be attacked, yet you so easily keep your chin up. I can only respect that, he thought to himself as he finished watching her approach of the foursome.

The greeting between Sootheart and Birchheart was swift and courteous; all of which Risingstorm would ever hope for between civil cats. He dipped his head toward the deputy as the greeting passed, and then set his emerald and blue-tinted gaze back to the youngest warrior of the group. How refreshing to see such friendliness being shared, even though she was seemingly cold while disposing of their previous medicine cat. It must be that youthful energy; not to say that that I'm not young. Yet I remember those days when I certainly felt like it!

His gaze rested back on Stonefell, purring in acceptance at her words. "Indeed you're right; we'll have quite the long day tomorrow!" Noticing her seemingly eagerness to retire for the evening, he inquired, "are you going to the warrior's den now to turn in for the night?"

Stonefell smiled slightly, amused by the tom's positive attitude. Considering they had just buried Maplestream for the second time, Risingstorm seemed pretty unfazed.

"Yes, I am," Stonefell meowed, wiggling her nub tail idly. "Twolegplace can be rather dangerous, so we need to be in tip-top shape before we can safely mark a path to the Twolegs' water." Her ears flattened slightly as she added, "And.. it has been rather stressful over these past few days. Even if we weren't leaving on a patrol at dawn, I need the rest."

Mintwhisper - 34 moons - Warrior - Hot - Territory - Mentions: Ratpelt

Mintwhisper slipped silently from camp and into the shady forest. She wasn't really needed in camp at the moment and while saving her energy could be useful the red she-cat was quite bored. Maybe she could find some plants that had water in them, she smiled lazily at the thought. It was highly unlikely in this heat, she hoped the water patrol would find something soon. She shook her head. The heat was making her sleepy. Was there anyway she could, she didn't know, shave her pelt? Twolegs did that to kittypets didn't they? But the poor things always looked horrendous after, she would not sacrifice her dignity like that. "Je déteste qu'il fait chaud." She grumbled to herself. She was pretty sure she had made that apparent though.

As she padded along the sun patched forest floor she found herself heading in the direction of the lake, or what was left of it. She stepped out from the shade and grimaced before walking down the the shoreline, tapping the now dry lake floor with a paw. The white speckled warrior ventured into the lake bed a few feet, tracing along the border of Terraclan before returning to the forest. So maybe she was hoping there was at least some mud but it was completely dry from what she could see. Sighing she paused, surprised to see that she had stumbled upon Ratpelt. "Ratpelt?" She moved closer to talk to the young warrior, she had wondered about his weird habbit to just up and leave camp to go on walks. She was curious as to why though. "How are you doing?"

Birchheart gazed at Sootheart. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m not really sure what needs to be done. I’m more concerned with Aetherclan. Fernstar attacked Terrastar when he went to meet with her. And the fact that he is with Oakpaw at the Dreampool, we’re extra vulnerable.” Birchheart rambled on. Her brain was frazzled. She was incredibly anxious about a possible attack from Aetherclan. Not only that, but Rubypaw’s words rang in her ears as she thought. How could Terrastar be “dark”? Why didn’t he trust him? She had way too much on her mind.

Finally, Birchheart turned to Sootheart, “Perhaps you could see what the others are doing, and take a small group of cats on a hunting patrol? The lack of water must also mean that prey is scarce, so we better start gathering prey. Maybe you could take Risingstorm with you?” Birchheart told her clanmate. She needed some time to clear her head. She twitched her ears, in attempt to soothe some agitation. She soon became lost in her thoughts of worry again. What if Fernstar attacked Terrastar and Oakpaw directly? Surely Oakpaw ran for help? The answers to these questions she did not know; and she tried not to worry herself over them for any longer. She stared into nothingness, praying to the Dark Forest that Terrastar and Oakpaw would return unharmed.

Sootheart is surprisingly patient as Birchheart speaks, knowing that the deputy's thoughts are swirled and seeing the visible anxiety she is going through. She brightens when Birchheart gives her a task. Hunting isn't one of her strong suits, but she's good enough to get by. Sootheart goes to turn around, but hesitates a moment. She should say something to cheer up the deputy. After all, the leader is also her mate and he was attacked just recently. She must be going through a lot right now. Sootheart places her black tail on Birchheart's shoulder and gives a comforting smile. "Terrastar is one of the strongest cats I know. No Aetherclan cat could measure up."

After that, Sootheart turns from her and pads up to Risingstorm and Stonefell. Once again, the grey warrior can see something between the two. She forms a small frown, not knowing why the relationship between two other cats affects her so much. Sootheart clears her throat and forces a smile while she turns to Risingstorm. "Pardon me, but would you wanna go hunting with me?"
