Wrenwhisker glanced at him, returning the smile as to not seem rude, though she wasn't too happy . she sat down. "good hunt," she repeated, kind of keeping the conversation short , as her paws felt heavy and she wanted to lay down in her nest. it was quite hard to find the duck , as when she went to that one pond a few warriors were talking about, no ducks were there. "nope, nothing out of the usual, except i went to a pond where there's usually a lot of ducks, and nobody was there, just fear-scent, they probably sensed me from far away and decided to flee . "

Moonpaw
moonpaw quickly scrambled up, embarrassed. She couldn't be a medicine cat if she kept hurting herself, then mantispaw would have to do everything. "It's okay," she said quickly. "is there anything else to do?"

Hickorystar - Thistleclan camp - interacting with Wrenwhisker

He nodded slowly, biting his tongue. That wasnt good. Wrenwhisker's words only strengthened his worry, and yet, there was no chance anything would actually attack a bunch of cats.
Right?
He brushed it off as just a simple coincidence, with a simple explanation. Wrenwhisker didn't seem in the mood to talk so he'd try his best to reply then conclude the conversation. 'Probably just most of them migrating.' The tom meowed after a seconds thought, remembering his first leaf-bare and seeing the ducks soar over the old barn. He sounded more like he was trying to convince himself as well as Wrenwhisker. 'You're free to go, its a little late now..' The tom frowns, flicking his gaze to the sky. Having a conversation felt like trying to catch water in his claws. Ending one was even harder.

Wrenwhisker hesitantly nodded, she felt bad for ending the conversation so quick, she didn't want to make it seem like she didn't like Hickorystar, but she was soo tired. She trudged over to her nest , and sat in the loaf position. (sorry for short reply)

Sageleaf | Thistleclan Territory | Riverwhisper

Sageleaf felt her fur grow hot at Riverwhisper. ‘Pretty lady.’ She purred to herself, smiling. She never really considered herself pretty, besides her eyes. She had these intense, yellow-green eyes that were, in her opinion, the highlight of her appearance. The she-cat looked around, suddenly remembering where she was and why she was here. She couldn’t be kept in thought, she was supposed to be hunting. The tortoiseshell she-cat sniffed the air, besides the faint scent of her clanmates, she picked up a few different smells. The most prominent being some sort of amphibian. Either a road or frog, Sageleaf couldn’t often tell the difference. The Warrior dropped to a low crouch, belly fur barely touching to ground. She slunk forward, picking each step carefully. The world around her seemed to disappear as she focused on stalking her prey.

Mantispaw | Thistleclan Camp | Moonpaw

“Alright, if you insist.” Mantispaw replied, turning back to the herbs and picking up in his mouth. He motioned with his tail for Moonpaw to followb as he made his way over to Simverthorn’s herb stock. “ We don’t have much to do, especially since Silverthorn is out. However I can show you where the herbs go.” Mantispaw set down the stack of herbs and began sorting through them. Bundling like herbs together and setting the ones he wasn’t sure about to the side. Trying to make sure he was going slow for Moonpaw to follow.

Riverwhisper | Thristleclan territory | Sageleaf

The she cat was quite proud of her compliment to Sageleaf, well she was pretty after all so she saw it as the truth.” Anyway time to hunt.” She said quietly to herself as she trotted along happily her ears perking as she herd a frog. She crouched down taking Sageleafs advice she made sure to follow it to a t. However the moment she went to try and catch the frog she landed funny and missed. She lied on the ground feeling deeply embarrassed as she watched the frog hop off without a care in the world. She sighed, no matter she would just try again and do better this time.

Moonpaw
Moonpaw did her best to keep up with mantispaw and bundled up the herbs. While there were still enough to last the clan a while, the stock seemed much smaller than it used to. They were nearly out of marigold and ginger. Later, Moonpaw could go forage for some.

Hickorystar - Thistleclan camp - interacting with nobody because he's LONELY

Oh. The tom blinked, watching the she cat move off. He had let her go and he was glad she was able to rest, it was way too late to be up, and he didn't want to deprive his cats of sleep like Pond had. Sure it had been needed in the beginning, when cats needed to stand guard for any threats. There had only been a handful of cats then, enough to count on two paws. He sighed, brushing away the brief memory. No time to linger on nostalgia. The other cats he had send on patrol were taking longer than he had anticipated, worry overtaking his better judgement. Of course, it was not that he didn't have hope in his clan. Just the mere presence of danger in this area made him shudder.

Hickorystar crept silently out of the camp, dragging his tail behind him. Paw prints embedded deep into the wet dirt and if he had been a few inches taller he'd have tripped over into it, which would've been more than humiliating. The tom nimbly sprung up onto the outer, dry rim of the entrance, opening his maw to breathe in the fresh air. Free of the mingling scent of cat and cold prey.
He was much too distracted to notice what he came out to look for in the first place. A scrap of red fur. It was caught on a torn twoleg wire, perhaps to catch foxes. Good to know they could agree on one thing.

The piece of fur had clearly been torn out, little flecks of blood and the feathers of a bird were scattered all over the part ofthe tree.

Mantispaw | Thistleclan Camp | Moonpaw

Mantispaw placed the last herb, tapping it gently with his paw, “and that’s the last of them.” He said with a sigh, looking over at Moonpaw. “Once you start memorizing the appearance and smell of the herbs, organizing will get easier.” He turned to look out the Medicine Cat den again, still no Silverthorn. Well, it hadn’t been too long, he was just paranoid. “We can go out and look for more tomorrow, but for now it’s late.” Mantispaw said, facing Moonpaw again. “I was considering joining the others in the Apprentice den, since Silverthorn will be gone I thought it would be warmer. You could come if you’d like.” The apprentice offered, getting to his paws.

Sageleaf | Thistleclan Camp | Open

Sageleaf waited a moment and then leapt, claws unsheathed. She felt the slimy, bumpy skin of the toad beneath her and sank her claws in as deep as she could before it had the chance to jump. She killed it with a swift bite and smiled, one piece of prey down. Her smile quickly vanished as she hear movement in the distance. Sageleaf shot to the ground, ears pinned against her head. She recognized that scent. Her eyes grew large and her fur bristled. A fox. It was a fox. How could she warn the others? And quickly? She began to panic, her breathing getting quicker. The fox smelt close and far at the same time. The scents that mingled both old and new, as if it had been in this area long. She froze, locked in one spot, too scared to move.

Crowgaze | Thistleclan Territory | Hickorystar

Crowgaze sat on a rock not too far from camp, scanning over the area. The tom blended in to the night, the only thing that stood out were his golden eyes. Crowgaze enjoyed the night time. It was usually quiet, peaceful and everyone was usually asleep. He caught movement out of the corner of his eye and saw Hickorystar. Hm, he was out later than usual. The tom kept his gaze locked on the Leader, he distrusted him. Well, he distrusted everyone. Crowgaze tilted his head as he watched the other tom examine something. Curious, Crowgaze got to his paws and quietly padded over. “Hickorystar.” He greeted the Leader, joining him to observe the scrap of fur. “You’re out late..interesting, what do we have here?” The tom narrowed his eyes and brought his face closer to the fur, taking a few sniffs before scrunching up his nose in disgust. “Smells fresh. Should we be concerned?”

Moonpaw
Moonpaw gratefully got up to follow Mantispaw. "Is silverthorn okay?" she asked. " I don't think Silverthorn has been gone this long before, and usually it takes longer to arrange the herbs." her foot was starting to hurt a bit now. No, nothing would have happened, She was just being paranoid. The apprentice den was nice and warm with only one other cat inside.

The she cat continued to try and perfect the advice given by Sageleaf. Needless to say it was not going very well, no matter how hard she tried she just couldn’t seem to get it right. She sighed now obvious to anyone around her that she was very irritated.” Why can’t I do it?!” She hissed to herself. She had, had no problems before but why was it being so difficult now? Was she out of practice? She huffed and continued her hunt.

TurtlePelt | ThistleClan Camp | No one

She laid in the clearing, sunbathing and grooming herself. She breathed in the crisp air, staring out happily, waiting to be told to do something. If she wasn't told to do something soon she would get up herself, she thought. She watched the med cat den for a while watching the two apprentices, Mantispaw and Moonpaw before getting up and stretching she decided to go for a hunt down at the lake. She trotted down to the lake and settled down into hunting position, watching the water, making sure her shadow never crossed the surface. once she saw a good sized fish she quickly jabbed at the water and threw the fish on land before biting it and sighing as she looked down at her catch.

Mantispaw | Thistleclan Camp | Moonpaw & Minnowpaw

Mantispaw was paranoid too, but he didn’t want Moonpaw to know. “I’m sure she’s fine, she has two Warriors with her.” The tom replied, not making eye contact with the she-cat. He didn’t want her to see the worry on his face. Stepping into the apprentice den, he saw Minnowpaw and smiled. He felt his fur grow hot, as it did whenever he saw the she-cat. Mantispaw never understood why it happened, he also got this weird… fluttering feeling in his gut like he was sick. “Hi Minnowpaw.” He greeted the other apprentice with a respectful head bow. “It’s cold in the Medicine Cat den, and Silverthorn is still out, so we decided to sleep in here for now.” Mantispaw explained himself, shuffling his paws nervously.

Hickorystar - Thistleclan camp - interacting with Crowgaze

The tom's ears twitch in surprise, followed by an instinctual hiss as the fellow cat approached. Crowgaze. The dark bengal was rather off-putting despite him being relatively the same size as the leader. Hickorystar grimaced and flicked his gaze cautiously to the rom, then back to the scrap of fur that could mean the clan's untimely demise. 'No, no. It's likely just one fox. Nothing to worry about.' The tom lied, though rather badly, as fear emanated from his tone. He coughed awkwardly and straightened himself, forcing his voice. 'Another patrol of cats should sort it.'

Crowgaze | Thistleclan Territory | Hickorystar

Crowgaze couldn’t help but smile at the Leader’s discomfort. “As you wish.” He responded, looking at the tuft of fur again. He knew the other tom was just trying to keep his cool, any sane cat would be afraid of a fox. The black Bengal looked around, finally noticing the mess of feathers around them as well. “Yes… one measly fox shouldn’t do a thing.” The Bengal added, standing up straight. His comment was almost like a challenge to the Leader. No, he didn’t want his status, he just liked to make others uncomfortable. This was probably one of the tom’s top flaws. “Well, if you need someone to send on patrol later - I’m your cat.” Crowgaze’s voice was deep and menacing, yet strangely soft. He was curious whether or not Hickorystar would head back into camp or do his own research and continue further on into the territory.
