Asterclan- BRAVE HEARTS- Now open!

Frostfeather sighed quietly, wishing she could convince Minnowpaw to eat something. "No, I'm not really that hungry either. Would you like to go ahead then?" she asked.

"We're going to go check the EmberClan borders before we do anything else," Frostfeather said, walking beside Minnowpaw.

(Well shoot, I missed a lot. Sorry about that.)

Pebblerunner simply raised his brows. "I can imagine," He said blankly, his steady gaze shifting towards the freshkill pile and pausing for a moment, contemplating the tom's question. Well, what else could he do besides hunt? A patrol was more than likely already in place, after all. "I might go out and see if I can catch anything by the creek; We aren't exactly plentiful when it comes to prey at the moment, it would seem."

[sweetclover1 , today is the med cat gathering... we can't forget another gathering!
This will not end up like the gathering on the 11th that never actually came into existence...]

(Thanks!)

Sunkit batted the leaf, the brown leaf fluttering through the air. She crouched down and swished her tail, stirring up dirt from the soil beneath her paws. She leaped with a little squeal of excitement and caught it with outstretched paws, tumbling to the ground. She rolled a bit and skidded, the brown leaf now in shreds, scattered about the clearing floor.

Flamespirit kept a close eye on her kit, letting out a little purr of amusement as Sunkit leapt in the air to catch the leaf. She loved watching her kit play, Sunkit would only do it when other cats weren't close to her. She wrapped her orange tail over her paws, memories of Sunkit's still-born brother pushing its way into her mind.

(Hey)

(Ok, thank you Shinx!)

Foxtail paused, watching Sunkit from afar, not wanting to scare of the tiny she kit, well aware that the kit was quite shy. The tortoiseshell made her way quietly over, settling down next to Sunkits mother. "Sunkits has grown considerably," She murmured with a warm purr. She couldn't help but wonder if the kit would have an interest in healing, or if she wished to become a warrior.

"Sometimes shyness could be helpful, its made her more observant. You know, my brother was painfully shy, no other cat knew he could even speak until his apprentices ceremony, and he was a talented warrior. She might need some pushing, but she will do well," She murmured, brushing a comforting tail over the grieving queen. The still born kit had affected Flamespirit in a bad way, that much was clear. Foxtail had no idea how Flamespirit could do it, the thought of having kits, let alone losing one terrified her.

(Hello, I would like to join but I have a few questions, can I make a medicine cat apprentice, also, can medicine cats have mates or no? I read through your code and it said nothing about it. And by sexuality, do you mean love interests in toms, she-cats, neither, both and that such? Just curious!)

"Perhaps you are right, though she doesn't even have any friends. I want her to be able to share the thrill of a hunt with somecat, know the exhilaration of fighting along side her clan, knowing they have her back. More than anything, if she doesn't make herself known and dies," the word was painful, but she knew it would happen, "in battle, of sickness, of age, there won't be anycat to remember her as a cat, she'll be remembered as a shadow, something lifeless and emotionless." It was a thought that kept her up late into the night, watching the rise and fall of Sunkit's flank. Loosing a lot makes a mother protective and worry about her living kits. Perhaps she was simply paranoid.

Sunkit felt the fur on her neck rise as a feeling came over her and she strained to listed, batting at the leaf to make it look like she hadn't noticed something was off. She let the scents of camp wash over her and she realized that Foxtail was talking to Flamespirit, that was the hushed voice she could barely here. She dared a glance toward Flamespirit and Foxtail, making sure they were distracted before darting into the nursery. She wondered if they would notice right away, she was wanting to hear their conversation. "...Lifeless and emotionless." She caught the tail end of the Flamespirit's statement which sent her mind whirling. What was lifeless and emotionless? A rock, trees, moss, prey... Death? Flamespirit's mew had sounded worried and pain filled. Had somecat died? What was going on?

Thank you!

"She will make friends, once she becomes an apprentice, there aren't any other kits in the nursery," She argued, tail tip twitching slightly, stirring leaves on the ground, not wanting her to think Sunkit was a lost cause. At least when she becomes an apprentice she will have to learn how to work with her denmates, something she never had the opportunity to in the nursery, not having anyone to play with.
"She's very smart, and will be able to make her mark on this clan," She added soothingly, her voice softening, trying another tactic, not wanting to scare Sunkit.

Sunkit's ears perked in confusion as Foxtail began talking about a she-cat. She was using the worlds will which made it sound like this cat was still alive. Were they talking about her? It was possible in context, but she wasn't dead. Maybe they were talking about somecat from another clan. Then she wondered if she'd done something wrong. Sunkit didn't quite get what the conversation was about, but if they were talking about her and death, she probably did something bad. The copper she-kit padded out of the nursery, her body low to the ground and ears flattened against her head. "S-sorry." She apologized softly.

Appleblossom padded out to the medicine cat gathering, only slimly remembering it. "I get to go see cats I actually like." She sighed. She picked up some borage leaves and coltsfoot around the area, moving towards the border. She smiled, knowing that she would have something to do today.
