((Also, regarding the literacy rule--I am very lax about that. I myself tend to vary wildly in my post length depending on what I feel the situation calls for, and in my experience rps with a lot of different writing levels can be way more fun and interesting than ones that demand every post be at least a paragraph. I'd rather see everyone doing what they feel comfortable with and what they enjoy because--in my experience, at least--it's fun to have that kind of variety. And I'd prefer to keep an encouraging atmosphere here.  That's how I feel about it, anyway! Scartail may feel differently.)) |

(( Alright ))
Fallenbark was in sleep by now and was laying down lightly. His light brown pelt felt the warmth of the bedding and the cold rock ground of the grotto. He shuffled his paws and relocated himself on the bedding before falling back into sleep.

(I was so sure I replied to this! Well, I'm in the wrong as usual, sorry to hold you up.) "You're lucky I'm on the herbalists' side," Sunpetal meowed dryly, but she licked Hailstrike's paw anyway and drew the flowers closer to her. "These do look like pansies. They're pretty anyway. How's everyone in the castle doing? Have they all lost their minds yet?" She winced. "Maplefall isn't antagonizing anyone else, is she?Hailstrike gave a sharp sigh when she bombarded him with questions."I told you already not to worry, you're only stressing yourself and the kits. He curled up next her to rest his head against her pelt content that she liked the flowers ."Some cats are bravely gathering around the rat nest, but so far Thunderheart has yet to announce the herbalists punishments" Hailstrike calmly informed her. Nah it's all good .)) |

"I see what you mean. Good cats, they are. Is that brave apprentice there, the one with the ginger fur? You know the one. Of course she was the only--" Sunpetal groaned again. "I'm going to sleep. I'm much too irritated right now to watch my words." she leaned her head against Hailstrike and closed her eyes. |

Whispersoul would be laying in the grotto next to Fallenbark. She watches the fish swim and leap. She smiles at the beauty of their secret grotto she hoped it would stay secret that way hunter's and anyone else who would want to harm it to stay away.

Petalheart padded through the hallways, trying to catch Oak's scent. She needed to check on him, make sure he got where he needed to go, stayed safe. She'd promised her mother she'd keep Oak safe. All she had left was Oak. Hurry up, you great sap, she snapped silently. Over there--Oak. She picked up her pace, wrinkling up her muzzle as she also caight the scent of rat. The mousebrain--he didn't--
"What are you supposed to be, the four merry protectors of all things castle?" Petalheart frowned, surveying the scene. So they were all trying to protect the Rat's Nest--noble, but so stupid. Oak gestured with his tail for Petalheart to sit.
"Come with us, Petalheart!" He encouraged. Petalheart rolled her eyes and took a seat across from Ripplestorm. Lucky I have to protect you, little brother,she thought dryly.

'This is getting ridiculous.' Fox viciously spat, leaping to her feet. 'I will not have a priest of all cats sitting here in harms way as wel!!!'
Her tail lashed with nothing but anger now, and she paced away from Oak. 'I wanted to come here alone! There is no reason for non-guards and a priest to be here as well!! Me and Ripplestorm can handle this on our own- Oak, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are NOT a guard, and you may feel you have responsibility to the castle but you do not have the same responsibility as I or any other guard!' Her ears flat against her head she turned to face them all.
'What on earth is wrong with you all? Do you really think the rats will care if you are non-trained or if you are younger than the adult cats? They will rip you all apart like it's nothing!'
Fox was not angry at them because they were here, nor because they felt they had a right to defend the castle- she was angry because they hadn't had the same training she had. To her, it lacked logical sense and all it did was put them in her way. She couldn't spend a fight half-looking-after her friends, half-fighting-rats-or-thunderheart. She'd end up getting killed herself within minutes from her lack of concentration for her own wellbeing. It was troublesome, and tiring, and stressful just thinking about, and it made her upset them protesting their rights to just sit here and then overall be useless when the time finally came to do something!!
She sat down and began to viciously lick at the fur on her chest, a habit she had whenever she was extremely distressed or upset.

"Fox" Ripplestorm mewed moving towards her. "You wanted more cats right? Just because they don't have the same training doesn't mean they are useless. We are here to protest not fight. Every cat is important to the clan. Tell me what would happen if our ancestors wanted to tell us something but all the priests were gone? Being a guard is important but who actually feeds you and who heals your wounds?"

'I didn't say they weren't important!!!! Them being important is exactly why I'm angry that they're here!!!' She loudly responded, up on her feet again and kneading the ground with her claws, a mechanism she'd discovered with her mentor to calm herself down when she was angry. 'What if everything goes wrong and it does turn into a fight? What I am trying to say is that us two alone cannot possibly protect three other cats with no training to help themselves, especially against huge rats! I don't want my friends getting hurt, and I don't want the other cats getting hurt, all because I couldn't get to them in time!!!' Her fur was now puffed up and her eyes were watery, eyes flattened against her head. 'they're important to me.' She mumbled, her voice now barely above a whisper.

Ripplestorm blinked as he watched his apprentice. He considers his words before speaking and lets his tail rest on her shoulder. "No one is going to get hurt. Besides they came here of their own feel will. They have a right to be here. If a fight breaks out they will defend themselves the best they know how. I know you want to defend everyone but you can't fight everyone's battles."

Fox was unnervingly silent now, sullen and upset, and she quietly shuffled closer to Ripplestorm to lie beside him and press her side to his for comfort, needing to calm herself so she could slide back into her focused vigil. She hated feeling useless, and she hated her stupid emotional outbursts. She was too passionate and she knew it, but she just couldn't help it.
She tucked her legs beneath her chest and rested her chin on the toes of her paws, not looking at anyone else around her, too ashamed to meet their gazes in case they thought she was judging their ability to defend themselves.

"Fox," Petalheart meowed calmly as she sat up, "I know plenty of moves. All cats get basic defense training, you know. And besides my excellent fighting skills"--she tilted her head to the side, trying for at least a purr--"I have a biting wit, of course. My specialty." She unsheathed her claws and drew her tail around her paws. "Every cat here has their own specialty. That's what makes a team, right? Oak can pounce, and he knows quite a bit too. All cats are prey, anyway. Red is strong and smart and he'll do well. And I know when to stop, and also know when I've reached my limit. Wouldn't you want a backup, someone who can call in reinforcements?" She padded forward and touched her nose to Fox's head. "No one is asking you to protect us. Right, Oak?"
"Right--right. What Petalheart said." Oak swished his tail, letting his older littermate provide the pep talk. "We're all good at different things. Maybe that'll hep us in any fight more than it'll hurt us. And anyway, it'll be--" he paused, counting quickly--me Petalheart Fox Red Ripplestorm "--five against one. I'm more than sure we could take any opponents.
Petalheart sighed and leaned away from the younger apprentice. Here she saw a bright future--Fox was smart, and quick, and had excellent morals. She would make for a bold guard and a good castlemate someday. But she'd need to learn that other cats could take care of themselves, that the whole castle didn't rest on her shoulders.
"We all have talents, and we all have chosen to protect the castle from madness." She nodded to Ripplestorm--another upstanding castlemate, levelheaded. Good to have by her side. "Come on, that's what a guard's for."

Fox said nothing and kept her gaze sullenly on the ground, worn out from the fire that had been burning in her gut since that morning, when the herbalists had first been accused of poisoning Stoneheart. She barely reacted as Petalheart touched her head, instead laying her head on her paws and curling her tail around her body, eyes falling half shut from exhaustion.
She'd said her piece, and had no more argument in her, Petalheart's peaceful attitude already serving to calm her from her high. She felt a soft ache in her chest as she missed her mother. 'Ok.' Was all she mumbled, too tired and sad to say anything else. If her red pelt was fire, it might be a dark brown right now, burned down to ash.

(Poor Fox she needs a hug XD)
"Rest my fiery fox." Ripplestorm mewed settling down beside her. He could tell the fire had died down. That fire would be great during a fight.

((She does very much need a hug x'D))
Fox huffed a soft sigh as he spoke and turned her head against him to rest against his shoulder, closing her eyes. She figured she could get some sleep- there had been no indication that anything was going to happen yet, and she felt safe enough with her mentor beside her.

Petalheart gave Ripplestorm a nod and turned to look at Oak, whose tail was swinging back and forth worriedly.
"She's been upset all day," he mewed quietly to the priest.
"We've all been upset, leaf. Get some rest. It's been long for all of us." Petalheart lapped at the apprentice's head. Uncharacteristic softness--this day seems to be bringing out the odd in all of us, she thought dryly, sweeping her tail around to nudge her brother and narrowing her eyes kindly at Red. Odd. That's all that's been happening, odd.

Ripplestorm decided to stay awake in order to keep watch. He glanced over at Petalheart and dipped his head to her.

(Hello! Sorry I've been inactive for a while. I'm honestly not quite sure how active I will be in the next week or so. I really enjoy this roleplay and would like to continue being apart of it, so I guess this is a bit of a warning that I might leave for a bit..? Hopefully, I'll start to be more active once I sort of everything in real life.
Hopefully that made some sense oops)
