"I'm not most rogues," Raven said after she finished. She licked her paw and cleaned her whiskers before she dipped her head. "Thank you," She murmured. The cat turned and padded back into the den, shivering. She curled up and tried to keep warm, hoping to sleep.

*Redstar glanced back at Raven. he purred a little as he went up to his den, carrying another mouse with him.*

Raven glanced over at the entrance, hearing him pad away. She yawned and shook herself a little, closing her green eyes and trying to rest.
Whitefur blinked, sinking back into the warrior's den. He wasn't sure what happened, but he found it amusing how the leader looked after leaving.

*Redstar sat in his den, he could tell the sun was starting to sink. he was tired. more tired than he could admit. he sniffed the mouse and ate it in a few famished gulps* _I wish I could still be a warrior._

(Is it alright if we skip to the next morning maybe?)
Whitefur heard a couple cats pad inside and he vaguely remembered when the den used to be just about full. So much has changed. So many lost. We just have to hold on a little longer. He thought. He barely had time to think much more before his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

(yeah)
*Redstar woke the next morning after having a dream of catching a mouse and eating it. he shook his fur out and looked outside* _that's the first time I've seen the sun in a long time_ *he walked outside his den and looked down in the clearing.*

Whitefur was up and pacing near the center of camp. The cats he sent out to hunt had just left, and he was hoping to get out and look for some brambles to reinforce the dens to keep the cold out. He could hear one warrior bickering with Raven, trying to keep her from so much as taking one step out of the den.
"I just want to have a moment of fresh air and sunlight, please. Or are prisoners not allowed that either?" She asked the young cat. They tried to respond, but she pushed past and sat down outside the den, shooting a defiant look at them. It was an amusing sight.

"I sent one out at dawn, but there is another later that is short a cat or two," Whitefur told him as he flicked his tail tip. He seemed to be a bit slow, having been tired 'this morning.
Raven saw and rolled her eyes, looking away. But her whiskers twitched and she flicked her tail in response before she just scanned the camp. She was impressed by how organized it was, and started to move to look around when the warrior guarding her stood in her path. That ruined her moment of calm before she went back to sitting in protest.

*Redstar looked at the warrior who was guarding Raven* you need to rest *the warrior started to protest before Redstar stared at him with a hard look. the warrior turned towards Raven* i'll show you around camp
(I was thinking about making Redstar and Snakefang mates, but that would be a bit too boring. I think Whitefur and Snakefang should be mates, but that's your decision of course.)

(They might be an interesting pair. We could try it out and see how it works if you want. I'm fine with it.)
Raven glanced over, ears perked. "Really? Oh, what an honor," She replied, a little sarcasm in her mew. The black she-cat stood, looking between the warrior and Redstar. She hasn't bothered with any names, but if she stayed any longer, she may have to ask. She heard purring nearby and stole a look at Whitefur, who stopped and chose to conveniently leave camp and go hunt.

*Redstar flicked his tail* come on, let me show you around camp. *he flicked his tail towards the elders' den* you're pretty familiar with that den. that's the elders' den. where the old warriors who have retired to live out the rest of their days.
*Snakefang walked along the Shadowclan border alone, marking the border with fresh scent*

Raven reluctantly decided to pay attention and learn. If she didn't cause trouble, maybe they would let her leave and she could get back to her wandering. "So you don't throw older cats out?" She had heard rumors, but she never thought she would get to find out if they were true. The cat was genuinely curious about it.
Whitefur padded through the snow, scanning the ground and trees for any prey. He worked his way through the territory, and started toward the borders. Sometimes prey would cross into Thunderclan. He never once thought about crossing.

*Redstar shook his head* we don't throw the old ones out. as a matter of fact, we honor them for their service by giving them prey first. the next den *he flicked his tail towards the nursery* is the nursery, where she-cats expecting kits stay and care for the kits.

Raven nodded slightly. She looked at it before her whiskers twitched. "Guess leaf-bare didn't let any cats have little ones," She observed. It wasn't meant to be rude, just a thought spoken out loud. She could almost imagine the camp full of cats and kittens. "I've never met cats who cared for those who couldn't defend themselves. I suppose it's different," She admitted.

*Redstar shrugged* this leafbare was hard on all the clans. *he flicked his tail towards the apprentices den* this is where the apprentices sleep. kits must be six moons old to be an apprentice so there's that.

Raven blinked and shook snow from her paws. "You clan cats and all your rules and traditions," She found it hard to wrap her head around. "It seems like a lot of trouble just to survive," She knew rogues had a similar life, but at least she didn't have a whole group of cats that she had to help care for. "So every kit becomes a warrior?"

Raven caught the change of tone and abruptly changed the subject. "So what is that over there?" She asked, nodding toward the medicine den. She didn't want to hear about death. That was all that came with the season, but nothing could change that. She also didn't like causing other cats to be sad, so she tried to distract the both of them.

*Redstar looked up* that is the medicine den, where our medicine cat lives. our medicine cat is our healer and reads signs from Starclan.

"What is Starclan? I've heard of it before," Raven paused and glanced toward the medicine den again. She had a weird feeling, but she knew it seemed familiar to her. "But I never asked about it. Not that I could," She continued as she sat down. She was interested, and she couldn't hide it any longer. The clans were somewhat fascinating.

*Redstar had a twinkle in his eyes* Starclan is the cats who have died. of course, they are in the separate clans in Starclan, but they never fight. there is always prey and it's always warm

"So ancestors... that somehow communicate with one of your cats," Raven found the idea amusing. "It sounds a bit absurd," She looked over at the leader and frowned slightly. "What is that look for?" She asked him. A wind blew through the camp, causing her fur to rise in order to keep her warm.

Raven felt a purr escape before she could stop it. "Really? So you get extra chances at life? That sounds like a mother's tale to me," She shrugged and stood, stretching and shaking more snow off. "But that's good for you. Some cats do good things, and more time means more chances to do that," She added.

Raven tensed, eyes widening before she coughed and looked down toward her paws. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend or anything," She murmured. "I'm sorry for your loss," The cat seemed to switch from easygoing to guarded and quiet. She felt awful for saying that, and her tail lashed as a result.

"I thought I was supposed to stay here," Raven pointed out. "Or have you decided I'm not worth the trouble?" She was hoping she could leave after this, since home was far from here and she needed to be on her way. But she nodded, eager to have a view of the area. It seemed nice, though the snow wasn't the best.
