Sageheart laughed. "A guard should always pay attention." He teased. He raced after her, jumping and landing to let him splash her even more. Messing around in the ocean was always fun. "You know you're getting just as wet when you splash that way."

[Aspenfur][Male][18 moons][guard][Faundestwishes]
Aspenfur is a tom that is very noticeable from afar. While he is mostly white, he does have a patchwork of grey and black on his back. His tail is somewhat short and black, his legs are long and great for wading, his ears are tall, and his masked face is pointy with blue eyes. While he is not a terribly new guard, his nervous nature makes him stand out among the more experienced guards. He is quick to jump, eager to please, but surprisingly firm in beliefs.
[Sharkkit][male][4 moons][Faundestwishes] This kit had finds themselves torn between pursuing Shaman Neo-ship, or guard-ship. Sharkkit bounces between visiting the Guard den and the Shaman den, they find both equally fascinating. Unfortunately they tend to hyper focus on one thing, and are terribly indecisive. When people try and rush their decisions they are often met with a moody kit who is stuck between irritation and embarrassment. This light blue kit has short coarse fur and yellow eyes.
[Shellpaw][female][7 moons][neo-guard] I[[Faundestwishes] Shellpaw is a dust colored she-cat with tabby markings and dainty white paws. Her green eyes are full of mirth, while she tries to be understanding, this she cat-is often times black and white in her opinions. Something is wrong, or something is right, and it is hard to budge her opinion. While she is good natured for the most part, once someone has gotten on her bad side, they tend to stay there.
(Had to type these all on my phone in the end bc I cannot find the wifi code for the house I am puppy sitting at... X'D hope these are alright, I'll change anything as needed! I also had a hard time choosing between making shellpaw an apprentice or a warrior already..)

Softwing laughed, her purr rumbling deep in her throat. Water dripped heavily from her fur and the soft white patches on her underbelly had darkened and hung down messily, completely soaked.
"I know I know, a guard should always be on the lookout! It's just that its early morning, so the diving birds are out splashing around in the water! It's hard not to watch them, you know?" She meowed, turning her head out towards the horizon. She wasn't really sure if Sageheart knew what she was talking about, or even if he related, but she couldn't help but marvel at how gracefully the birds angled into the water without so much as a splash, eating their fill and appearing to have no care in the world. What she wouldn't give to have wings...
She found herself staring off into the distance as she often did, her playfight with the older tom all but forgotten. Her ears pricked, eyes following the white and grey shapes as they darted about over the ocean, farther than she would ever reach.

Sageheart tilted his head to one side as he watched as well. It was pretty impressive. He wondered what it would be like to have wings. It probably would be disorienting...but to fly? He had spent a good amount of time looking up at the sky. After they died, did they see what the birds saw every day? "Come on." He nudged her. "We can go bird watching after we catch some good fish." He continued down the beach. Splashing around had been fun, though.

"Talongrasp, what's that herb" Sharkkit asks as he watches her pull leaves from a stem. The bitter smell makes his nose curl and his eyes water, but he scoots closer for a better look- all the while trying to keep a respectful distance from the elder.
Shellpaw bursts out of the apprentice den in a hurry. She woke up late. Sloeberry wasn't in camp. She was an awful apprentice! "Shoot where would she be?!" She paces in the camp. Maybe her mentor went on patrol? But where would she have started? Near the water? "I am the worst apprentice!" She laments and drops to the floor in a huff.
"Shellpaw, you're too noisy" Aspenfur scolds quietly- his ears swivel back in alarm as the apprentice turns a glare towards him, "f-for the morning! You arent normally noisey- you're really quite fine-ah- you just missed her is all- she went that way" he lifts his paw in the direction.
"Thanks Aspenfur!" Shellpaw beams as she darts down the path.
Aspenfur lets out a relieved sigh. Still on the apprentices good side.. for now... He'd check on the camp and decide what to do from there. Food for Talongrasp and Sharkkit, and whatever elders, kits, and injured they had tucked away in their clan.

Shellpaw continues down the path for a while before she stops to scent the air. Her sense of smell wasn't the best quite yet, but she could recognize her mentors scent by now. It seemed...faint? She swivels her ears and listens. Was she downwind? Upwind? even close?
She sighs and paces forward, sniffs the air, and continues until she can find a noticeable difference, "Oh! She must be this way!"
She rushes forward in that direction until she makes it towards the cliffs and she skids to a stop once she sees her mentor, "There you are!"

Talongrasp perked her ears, turning towards the small kit. She smiles down at him, glad that for once a nosey kit hadn't picked up an interest something that would give them a bellyache. "Daisy Leaves, little one. You're a bit young to be munching on these though, we mostly use them for sore joints in our older cats. The leaves aren't too bad tasting but the flowers sure are stinky, aren't they?" She purred, her fur around her eyes wrinkling up as she smiled at the curious kit.
------
Softwing started, her eyes snapping back into focus at Sageheart's nudge. "Oh! Yeah, of course!" She meowed, dragging her eyes away from the creatures in flight. She padded softly behind him, her paws making little divots in the wet sand, much smaller than the padprints left by the older warrior ahead of her. She tried to stretch her feet forward to step inside of his prints, but his gait was just slightly too long for her, and she ended up making unnecessarily awkward steps forward, her body stretching at comedic angles.
"So, where are we going fishing?" She meowed, her focus shifting from the sand to the older warrior.

"At the moment we're looking for the usual spot where the tide pools form." Sageheart flicked his tail. As the waves receded, some water was trapped. Further down the beach there was a sort of cove created by rocks. Although some water still made it in and out, it wasn't enough that fish could escape and so they were just sitting there, waiting to be caught. It was his normal spot. Afterwards he would sun for a bit before returning and waiting for Talongrasp's instructions on if anything needed to be done. He always got his hunting done early since later on in the day Guards took their Neos out and would probably scare any prey away that they didn't catch. Finally spotting the rock formation, he sped up a bit. Keeping his shadow off the water, he peered in and was pleased to see a few fish. Although a cat could probably just hop into the water and chase the fish to the shallow where it would get stuck, it was always good to practice. The fresh water river the tribe used for drinking water also had fish. But those ones had plenty of room to swim around. He settled on one of the rocks and kept his eyes on the silver scales. Fishing at the rock formation also meant sharks couldn't sneak up on him.

"Really? But if I fell and my bones hurt it could work?" He leans forward and recoils at the smell, "very stinky!" He laughs. He pads around the den, "what was it you had last time..."
He'd watched the old healer give Aspenfur some sort of seed mix when the tom had been startled and slipped down a hill onto a rock, he'd been jittery and achey. "Poppy seeds, right?"

"Oh, yeah, of course.." Softwing trailed off, padding behind the tom, lost in thought. She nearly lost him as he sped ahead, quickening his pace at the last stretch before the pools. Softwing turned her head and gave a little jump, sprinting to catch up to the older tom before he noticed she'd fallen behind.
She jumped up on the rocks next to Sageheart, tilting her head and peering in beside him. The fish were pretty, but she felt bad for them, always confined into such small places. She wondered if they ever got bored of swimming around in the water, and found herself lost in thought in what it must be like to be a fish.
--------
Talongrasp shook her head, watching the kit out of the corner of her eye to make sure he didn't poke his nose into anything he shouldn't. "No no, if you break your bones or sprain a muscle during a fall then we'd have to use something else. As cats get older their bodies just don't work as well as young cats, so they need herbs to help them feel better." She rasped, giving a throaty purring laugh. "As for Aspenfur, yes, he's always so jittery. Those poppy seeds helped him to calm down and sleep. He gets so nervous about everything, you'd think he'd broken every bone in his body with that little slip he had."
She loved all her clanmates yes, but Aspenfur could be so nervous sometimes that she always got a little on edge whenever he was injured. It was difficult to have to deal with a cat who could think any small injury was the end of the world, although she imagined he might get a little more confident with age. She'd seen it in other Guards with little experience- she was glad he hadn't chosen the shaman path, since the cats who dealt with injuries needed to have a high stress tolerance.

Sageheart curled his tail around his paws. Fishing had always been his favorite method of hunting. It was probably one of the more relaxed ways. While waiting for the silver speck to come close enough, he could let his mind wander. He wondered what sort of path Sharkkit would take. He was getting old enough to start the basic herb training required of all cats of the tribe. He was already hanging around Talongrasp quite a bit. His thoughts broke when he saw a chance. In a flash, his paw went into the water and scooped up a fish. He gave it a quick kill before setting it down behind them. There was still a few in there, but they'd been startled and were swimming about now. They could wait for the fish to settle, or move on. He glanced towards Softwing to see what she wanted to do, although half expecting to see her staring back out at the ocean.

Softwing stared into the pool, lost in her thoughts until Sageheart's quick scoop disturbed the surface of the water, and she refocused. Turning her head to him, she smiled.
"Good catch! But how are you going to get the others now that they're all spooked?" She meowed questioningly. She preferred to hunt in the forest, and often when she'd caught one fish from the tidepool she simply left, since the others were often harder to catch. But she knew Sageheart often fished at the pools for long periods of time, so he must have some method she wasn't aware of.

"Patience normally." Sageheart chuckled. "It's good practice. But if you wanted to speed things up." He hopped down from the rock and began walking in circles quickly, sending the water flowing over the edge of the pool. It slowly grew smaller and smaller until the big tom could snatch up the fish swimming between his legs. Once all were caught, he shook out his fur. "Just like that. The water will come back and tomorrow there might be more."

"Oh" He mumbles as he peers at the collection of seeds, leaves, stems and webs in the den. All of them had their own use and their own order and place according to Talongrasp. It was really interesting to the kit. "Do elders need it often? Like everyday?" it'd make sense. He'd seen a few cats have hitches in their steps when they walked- It was age, they'd say bitterly.
"I think he thought he did" the kit laughs, however cuts himself off quickly and flattens his ears in embarrassment as said warrior pokes his head into the den.
"Talongrasp I-i- was wondering- oh." the warrior stopped mid sentence and strode a bit further into the den. He was always nervous to enter the den, worried that some cat would be bleeding out inside, he wasn't sure he could handle the sight. "Sharkkit is here too..." the kits mother had a hard time keeping the little thing in the den with her, he was always wandering between dens. "...I..I was wondering if perhaps you had been fed..? How about you S-sharkkit?"
The apprentice replies that he had.

Softwing's mouth gaped. He made it look so easy! She imagined that the older shaman had discovered the trick after many moons in the tidepool. She stuck her head in, looking at all of the creatures and growths that were dispersed within the rocky cup in the sand. "Do you shamans ever use stuff like this in the water for healing, or only the stuff that grows on land?" She meowed curiously, poking her nose against a slimy green plant, then recoiling as the salty water trickled down her nose. She knew the life of a shaman wasn't for her, but she was still infallibly curious about everything they did, and Sageheart seemed patient enough to handle her questioning.
------- "No no my dear, if we used these herbs for every little bump and scratch we'd have the forest picked clean by now! Only when we really need it do we take herbs".
Talongrasp turned to Aspenfur, noting how his big ears seemed to twitch uncomfortably. "Oh, hello! Don't be shy, come on in Aspenfur. I'm just taking a look at my stores here while little Sharkkit keeps me company. No one has brought me any prey today, no, but I saw Sageheart pad out of camp a while ago, so I'm assuming he'll be bringing back something for me soon." She meowed welcomingly, doing her best to take on her nurturing, comforting stance so that Aspenfur would calm down a bit. He always poked his head into her den like he was expecting to see something horrific- she hoped with time that he might come to regard it as a peaceful place rather than an area to be wary of.

Sageheart shrugged. "Sometimes. On occasion, the salt water can be good for clearing out a wound and keeping it from getting infected. To keep things moist, we'll use plants found in the water since they're mostly submerged and will hold onto the water. Not to mention the soft sand makes it easier to get out." Sageheart flicked his tail. There was a lot to remember about being a shaman, but once you did learn it it never left you.

[Sandcloud] [male] [36 moons] [guard] [blizzardsfang] Sandcloud is an orange colored tom with longer fur on his back legs, spine, and his chest. His eyes are a deep brown color and he had darker orange stripes on his legs. Sandcloud is a very protective tom over the tribe and those he cares about but he doesn't show it. He gets annoyed very easily but he loves training neos whether he would admit to it or not. He is specifically protective over his sister and her kits.
[Honeyflower] [ female] [36 moons] [Dame (shaman)] [blizzardsfang] Honeyflower is a very beautiful she-cat with light orange fur. She looks like cream for she has white on her chest and toes and her eyes are a beautiful emerald green that are always filled full of kindness. Honeyflower is extremely loving and kind as well as welcoming. She refused to tell the tribe who the father of her kits were but she had no hostility to anyone who asked. She loves giving advice and training neos as well as taking after kits. She hopes to find a mate despite not telling who fathered her kits.
(she hasn't had them yet but I won't want to update it whenever she does)

(Okay And don't forget about our Spirit and Fang xP <3) Heatherwind's body slowly unraveled as her mind began to wake. She stretched out, bumping into the cat who's nest was next to hers. Her yellow eyes blinked open and she purred. She nosed the longer fur of Sandcloud's spine. "Hey, come. Get up." She prodded him to see if he was awake but just choosing not to get up. She wondered what he'd been dreaming about since he was mumbling a bit. Maybe his sister's kits?

(I know ) Sandcloud lifted his head a bit and opened his eyes halfway. "hm..?" He looked around and blinked the sleep from his eyes before he stood up and stretched out, digging his claws into the ground. He gave himself a good shake before he looked at Heatherwind, his dream had already vanished during his awakening and his first thought was go and check on Honeyflower.

"Oh good. You're awake." Heatherwind purred. "Want to go see Honeyflower?" She knew the tom well. And the look in his eyes said everything. The dame had recently moved into the nursery and Sandcloud could always be seen coming and going whenever possible. He hunted for her and practically guarded her when he had time. It was rather cute. Although she wondered if he would spend time looking for a mate of his own.

Sandcloud perked up at the sound of his sisters name and he purred loudly "yes of course!" he said, flicking his tail and heading to the entrance to the den. He looked back to make sure she was following before he headed to the nursery, when he peeked his head in Honeyflower looked like she had just woken up as well. Tiredness hung in her emerald eyes and he walked over and touched his nose to her head.

Heatherwind followed him. She wasn't surprised to not see Sharkkit in there. As kits got older, their restlessness typically grew. He must be with Talongrasp. She purred when she saw Honeyflower. "How are you feeling?" She tilted her head to one side. The she-cat was rounding well. Although it must be a bit disorienting to have grown so much.
