Rainjaw cringed, glancing down. "I'm not tired, and I don't have anything I can do in camp." He shrugged. "I'll find something, I guess. I should leave you to sleep--you look tired." He started to get up, shaking out his splotched coat.

"Good luck." He dipped his head respectfully to the gray tom. Redhawk almost felt guilty himself for not doing the same, but his exhaustion was overtaking him. He rested his chin on his paws and closed his eyes shut to enjoy a nice long sleep.
[I'm sorry, I don't know what else to post. I have other open characters if you want, but until the other members come back and we kind of have some activity going, things might be boring for a while. I'll also accept any ideas you might have.]

"Right, okay." Minkfur nodded in understanding, she ducked her head submissively with her ears flat against her skull. Her nostrils flared as the scent of squirrel overpowered her senses. "I know we're patrolling the border, but you don't think Saberstar would mind if we hunted a bit?" Darkpaw dug her claws into the ground in frustration. "Fine." It was no use arguing anymore with her mentor, she would continue to deny her no matter how much Darkpaw pleaded. You're no fun. she thought to herself. "I'm sure that would be fine," Boulderpelt allowed graciously, dipping her slender head to Minkfur before looking over and down a bit at Darkpaw, ears and tail tip twitching in frustration, though she said nothing. The little she-cat had been nothing but difficult since she'd become her apprentice. If she did allow her to do something it was something that 'wasn't any fun.' If she didn't allow her to do something she 'wasn't any fun.' It was a vicious cycle, though she did adore the enthusiasm.
"I'm only trying to keep you safe," she finally said, hopping over a downed tree. There had been a storm a couple of nights ago that had mucked up the ground and taken a couple of the smaller trees with it. |

[That's fine Teal. Thanks for dropping in! I'm glad to speak to you again.]
" Thanks!" Minkfur quietly darted away on her paws which were now no longer white but a muddy brown from the dirt that was upturned all over the place. She disappeared behind a wall of hazel. She spotted the squirrel ahead of her and crouched low and ready to spring. The tortoiseshell wiggled her hindquarters and leaped nimbly through the air onto it's back and killed it with a bite to it's neck.
_________________________________
"I know." Darkpaw looked down at her paws, feeling slightly ashamed and still a bit frustrated. It wasn't her fault she wanted to explore! The forest was exciting with all it's sights and smells. She wanted to ask if she could still go ahead once the patrol closer to the spot, but she knew that would be pushing it. She sighed and scrabbled over the tree behind her mentor. Boulderpelt was a small cat, but so was Darkpaw, and she wasn't even fully grown yet. She struggled for a second before finally making it over.

"I know that you know," Boulderpelt said simply, whiskers twitching in what might've been amusement as she opened her mouth, and scented the border up ahead. "Keep your ears open," she warned, "just in case one of those rogues is out and about." |

Minkfur buried the squirrel underneath the root of an old maple tree that towered high above the cats' heads. She would fetch it later as soon as they would head back to the camp. Afterwards, she returned to the main area and looked around for Boulderpelt and Darkpaw. There they were, just a little far ahead.
_________________________
This time Darkpaw decided to follow orders. She did slip to the head of the patrol again but didn't wander off to where the others couldn't see her. She kept her body low to the floor with her fluffy, black underfur brushing the ground. Her face was serious, and her eyes were large and round. All of a sudden a leaf flew down onto her hindquarters. Darkpaw squeaked with surprise and her hackles rose. She jumped into the air scattering dirt all around her.

Boudlerpelt nearly jumped herself as she suddenly heard Darkpaw's squeal from the underbrush, and rustling. She darted forward, ducking to find nothing but the frazzled apprentice all by herself. "What are you doing?" she asked in exasperation, shaking her head softly and staying crouched down with her too eager charge. |

Darkpaw's fur was spiked up. Her little chest let out small breaths. "There was-- I thought a--" she panted as she tried to regather herself. " A rogue. But it was a dumb leaf." She kicked it angrily with her paw. "Stupid leaf."

"Rogues don't normally give you a greeting by falling lightly on your back," Boulderpelt said with a roll of her eyes, "now, come on." She took the lead this time, leading them up and out of the little gully, stopping to fresh the scent markers along their border on the way. Opening her mouth slightly, she didn't smell anything, yet, but who knew? |

Darkpaw trailed along behind her mentor again with her tail dragging low. Today was proving that she still had a lot of learning to do before she could ever graduate to a warrior's status. She swung her head back and forth to see if any rogues were around. Mousebrain! she cursed herself. Rogues wouldn't show themselves! She wondered how many there were in the group Boulderpelt had spoken about.

Boulderpelt stiffened as suddenly, an unfamiliar scent met her nose. Tom, her age, somewhere close by. "Darkpaw, get behind me," she hissed softly, before glancing behind her and calling softly, "Minkfur?" |

Darkpaw obeyed, retreating behind the gray she-cat and unsheathing her claws to prepare for whatever came next.
___________________________________________________________________________
Minkfur twitched her whiskers to let Boulderpelt know she had heard her. Her ears flicked forward. Just a few foxlengths ahead the bushes rustled and a few cats pushed their way out with unfriendly appearing expressions plastered all over there faces. She swallowed hard and prayed to StarClan that their small patrol would be enough to scare them off.

Boulderpelt, after a couple of glances at her two fellow clan mates, stalked out of the brush, bristling. "You're on Emberclan territory," she growled at the rogues, "leave now." She wasn't the most intimidating thing, but she hoped that Minkfur and Darkpaw would be enough to scare them off. She didn't know if they could run back to camp quickly enough. |

[Hello!  ] Darkpaw arched her back and puffed out her fur. She growled and moved closer to the lead rogue. He was a large grey tom with black stripes. "That's right." she spat. The tom laughed sarcastically as he glared back at her. "Pfft. Angry pinecone." He shoved her out of the way with his broad shoulders and marched on up to Boulderpelt to confront her. He towered over the deputy and fixed his cold, crazed eyes on her. "And why should I listen to you?"Meanwhile, Minkfur stayed at her deputy's side, even though her fear gripped her like the talons of an eagle. |

"Because I'm the deputy," Boulderpelt said, looking the tom straight in the eye, her own blue ones narrowed dangerously as she peered up at him, "and you're on my territory, so I'm recommending for you and your gang's sake that you leave. Now." |

"Deputy? I don't care if you're king of the hill- have at 'em boys!" the tom screeched. He dove underneath Boulderpelt and clawed angrily with massive paws. A white tom leaped on top of Minkfur and she squealed underneath his weight when his teeth pierced her skin and tore the soft fold of her ear. She lashed out blindly at him catching the tom in the eye. He reared back in surprise and yowled. Darkpaw was left with the scrawniest opponent, who seemed a bit ditsy and young himself. He wasn't a great fighter and stood a bit clueless with one paw lifted off the ground. Darkpaw darted in from different angles and nipped his shoulders. |

[Then I can use Saber. Just keep in mind I may poof if I head to bed soon, despite what my status says. I'm too lazy to log out and so I just minimize the page.  ] Saberstar had been there to escort the patrol earlier that had consisted of Boulderpelt, Minkfur, and Darkpaw. He watched them until they had disappeared from his line of vision and then turned back to the activities of the camp. It was quiet. The leader decided that now would probably be a good time to get some practice in with his own apprentice, either in hunting or training, he'd let her decide. Saberstar turned to the Apprentices' Den and went over to it, peeking his head inside to see if she was there. "Slightpaw?" his voice rumbled. |

{{ no worries! I'll likely head to bed soon too }}
The cream she-cat was tucked into a corner of the den. She had just woken up and was grooming her coat when her mentor called. Her green eyes flashed in the darkness as she got to her feet and shook out her fur. With a glance to make sure she looked presentable enough, she hurried out into camp as quickly as she could, narrowing her eyes against the sunlight. "Yes?"

"How about we do some training?" he asked her. "I have nothing else to think about right now. Would you like to hunt or battle train today?"
[I really hope more people join. It's so empty here besides you, me, and Boulder [stranger things.]]
