Nectarfur winces a bit as the prey the cat was obviously stalking bounded away. Unfortunate. Most cats would have hackles raised at seeing a stranger hunting in their territory, and while it wasn't ideal, Twilight clan wasn't suffering and feeding another cat wouldn't harm them any.
The cat didn't seem... pleased to see them, but wasn't fleeing or attacking them. So that was a good sign.
"I'm Nectarfur, and this is my apprentice Ravenpaw. What's your name?"
~~~~~~
Ah. Well certainly something they said had upset the young cat; since she wasn't speaking, though, Peony had no idea why.
"Come along, Nightpaw. Let's go find something." She bounds forward. She was sure Coonface would follow after, and that was perfectly fine, but it was time to watch how Nightpaw actually hunted.

(Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently while I was away! State Convention went great and I just got my replacement laptop in the mail, so my activity here will be a lot more reliable! As for my replies, I'm going to tag everyone I'm responding to, just so I can give them a heads up since it's been a while) NoviBadger didn't respond, but instead watched closely, scrutinizing how Scarlet fell short and how Ivyfang reacted. It was no wonder the warrior still hadn't been a mentor, he was obviously uncomfortable in the position. Although he gave good advice, he was too blunt and didn't reinforce his points well. Yet despite the imperfect instructions, Scarlet did seem to make a noticeable improvement, her face contorted with concentration as she moved. "Alright, that's enough" he meowed as Scarlet came to a stop and Ivyfang looked at him intently. "I can see that you have a lot to learn, but that is to be expected. If you want so badly for me to train you as a warrior, Scarlet, then I will pass on what I know." ------ 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 faundestwishesCoonface nodded, agreeing with her mother as she mentored her apprentice, unaware of Nightpaw's irritation. If there was one thing Coonface was more so than energetic, it was oblivious. She really was like her mother! Her attention drifted momentarily as the two interacted, her gaze sweeping up towards the trees, watching the birds fly about and the forest chatter with life. Her ears perked forward and she fluffed a bit as she noticed Peony and Nightpaw start to move forward. "Oh!" She exclaimed, getting up and bumbling forward to catch up with them "Hunting huh? Where are you going to have her try?" she asked her mother, her tone light and curious. This would be a good chance for her to learn how to test her future apprentice's skills- examine a technique and then try it out! How exciting. She flicked her gaze to Nightpaw briefly and noted that the apprentice was avoiding her gaze. Had something happened while Coonface had been daydreaming? ----- tigerclawCloudpaw shuffled her paws uneasily. Tigerstripe had seemed to make the move look really easy... but she knew from experience that it wouldn't be that way for her. "O-okay.." she meowed uncertainly, bunching up her hind legs and wiggling her haunches before bursting forward at him. She felt a hard pit of regret form in her stomach immediately as she approached the tom. He's so much bigger than me! Trying to use surprise as her edge, she darted to the side as she reached him, trying to push her body into his legs as she came forward. But she knew immediately that she would need a miracle for it to work, as she felt her left hind paw turn underneath her in the sand. Oh Starclan, I'm off balance already! This was a terrible idea!------ ρυмρкιηqυєєη13Dawnwish finished dumping the herbs into the wash and padded forward. Leafheart just listened to her quietly, and she liked that. The warrior's presence gave a comfort to her, even in her silence. She tended to be quiet, but Dawnwish knew that Leafheart was a caring cat at heart, and she really liked that about her. "Now we can move forward to my collection place. Marigold grows best in full sunlight and dry ground, so you have to go to the tops of the hills in the greater glade to find it usually" she meowed, jabbering on. She hoped that the warrior wasn't bored of her talk of herbs- it was all she really knew, after all. But Leafheart just nodded and continued following her. She seemed interested even! A warmth spread through Dawnwish like the afternoon sun on her pelt. |

Hawkeyes258"I'll get it eventually. Just.. I need some more practice." Twigpaw offers her a shrug. He was willing to do the training. They just needed to work their way up there. "Any moves in particular that you want to try today...?" ~~~~ Peony was ever still oblivious, but as she had aged- and become a mother- she had become more aware of things. Plenty still flew over her head, but for cats she was close to she put in the effort to be attentive. She gives Coonface a teasing look, her kit was ever so eager to learn. While there were plenty of other warriors for her kit to learn from, Peony always felt blessed by Star clan that Coonface came to her first. "I think we scared everything here away, so if we can just get in somewhere deeper in the forest.. we'll be good. I believe Nightpaw is going to impress us today." she gives her apprentice a gesture forward, "A mouse or vole would be good, those are the easiest with those techniques. Birds often times require a bit of jumping...they're very flighty."

"Oh, sure! I'm glad you're so confident in her!" Coonface purred, wondering if Peony was trying to lift Nightpaw's mood. Had the apprentice done something wrong..? Ah, whatever. I'm sure it'll be fine.
"Mmm. I'd love to have a juicy vole. They should be coming out of their holes finally now that things are warming up" she commented, licking her tongue over her whiskers. "Where are you gonna go?"

Scarlet beamed happily and began prancing around the two. "Yay! I'm going to be a warrior!" Ivyfang's ears flattened and he had to place his tail over her snout.
"Some warrior you'll be, scaring away all the prey in the vicinity." There was a muffled response and he released her jaws so she could repeat herself.
"You're just jealous I'll be learning more."
"Jealous? Of what?" Ivyfang glanced towards Badger in amusement. "He was my mentor first, you know." That seemed to pop her bubble and she pouted.
"Whaa?" Scarlet's ears and tail drooped. Ivyang just snorted.
"Who else do you think would come all the way out here to visit?"
"I dunno...thought maybe you were his son or something?" He burst out laughing at the thought. Although Badger had a kit, he was not it. Scarlet's ears flattened slightly.
"Well...you're both black colored and grumpy..."

"I'd like to go after birds..." Nightpaw mumbled, and kept silent. It was becoming even more obvious that she was irritated, and it was only growing as the she-cats ignored it(oblivious, but this is Nightpaw's opinion!) and walked forward. Her eyes drifted the floor as she did so.

He was a little surprised as Cloudpaw turned, and a miracle did happen, he was knocked off balance, he wasn't holding his ground good enough, but he smiled at the apprentice. He stood up and shook him self. ''Very good!'' as he licked a small cut from a stone as he was knocked off balance, he looked at Cloudpaw. ''I will commend you to your mentor, a little bit more practice and you will probably be better than me!'' He mewed, and a chuckle came after. ''Overall, good job! Keep practicing on the tree I marked, if you want to.'' He flicked his tail at the tree he marked with his claw. ''If you want to follow me, just don't be afraid to.'' He said as he stalked away.

Badger's whiskers twitched in amusement at the two. He felt happy seeing Ivyfang so at ease with Scarlet- the cold, emotionally stunted nature of the apprentice that he had known was almost entirely gone. The growth his former apprentice had made gave him a sense of accomplishment and pride.
And what have you become, Badgerheart? Your apprentice grew as a true warrior, and you fell apart.
Badger shakes his head. Ivyfang was laughing. Scarlet's ears were folded back and she looked irritated, like she always did when Ivyfang made her feel silly for one of her comments.
"Grumpy? Me?" Badger growled, poking his large paw onto her nose "Is that any way to speak to your mentor, just because I don't have endless energy like you?"
His jaws parted in a large yawn, and he turned a more serious look to Ivyfang. "Is there any news within camp about loners around the territory? I haven't had a run in with any yet, since I know how to avoid them, but it seems like there's been an awful lot of unfamiliar scents in the forest lately."
------
"Oh, wow!" Coonface meowed, her fluffy face poking around her mother's side to look down at Nightpaw "You can catch birds already? That's so great! I still haven't quite gotten the hang of that, heheh..."
The warrior trailed off as Nightpaw continued to stare at the ground. What was going on with her? She looked up at her mother expectantly. Now she was almost certain she was missing something. Was bird catching code word for something between the apprentice and mentor??
------
Cloudpaw blinked, her eyes wide as saucers. She had done it?! "Wha- really?!" She chirped, her fur fluffy up at the warrior's praise. "Wow Tigerstripe, thank you!"
She turned to look at the tree, the claw marks wide and deep. Gulping, she faced Tigerstripe again. She wasn't really sure that she would be able to replicate his move, and even so, the pressure of someone seeing her fail made her completely against the idea. I'll just sneak out later and practice by myself, she thought, and bounced forward to catch up with Tigerstripe.

faundestwishesMikel took a step forward, now noticing the little details of each cat. Two of them. Both from what appeared to be Twilightclan. Was there any other...clan or group of cats around here? He didn't see any. So Twilightclan it is. What was up with their names? So strange... "My name's Mikel," He mewed, ears flicking, though eyes narrowed in exhaustion. Why was he so tired? Guess hunting and walking did that to you, when you hadn't done that in so long. Usually he tended to hunt in the trees and only come down for small certain things. This was the farthest he'd ever come away from those trees, "Er, nice to meet you, I guess. Are you from Twilightclan?) Cinnamon RollLeafheart smiled at Dawnwish's ramblings about herbs and whatnot, following her towards the herb collection place. It had been a while since Leafheart could find someone to call a friend, but she knew Dawnwish was definitely that someone now. The medicine cat didn't condemn her when she first joined Twilightclan, and she even wanted to converse and hang out with her. It made Leafheart feel happy, especially since it'd been a long time since she was able to just walk around with someone like this in so long. It reminded her of the travels with her brother and Donnie and Mikel. Thinking of the other tom, she let her eyes move towards the forest area, watching the birds as they crossed the sky above. She wondered if he was even still around. "Hey, Dawnwish," Leafheart spoke up, eyes moving back to land on the flank of the cat in front of her, "Can I...ask you something?"

"We should be coming up to the hill now!" Dawnwish prattled on, her paws carrying her purposefully up the hill. As she neared the top, her speech slowed until she wasn't speaking at all. As they reached the top, she turned to say something again, but stopped herself as she noted Leafheart staring off into the distance. She waited for her friend to return from her thoughts, then turned her head.
"Well.. of course Leafheart" she meows, tilting her head. Was something wrong?

"Well," Leafheart shuffled her feet, a bit anxious, "I was just wondering if you could teach me about herbs? I mean, not like as a medicine cat, but just in case...ya know?" She smiled nervously, ears flicking back, "I really like hearing about them, and even though Twilightclan has chosen me to become a warrior, which I am all happy for, do you think I could still learn some things about herbs? Or is that against the code, for a warrior to learn about herbs and healing?" She was still getting used to learning the code of the clan and what was appropriate and what wasn't. She'd gone through a small stage of apprenticeship when she'd first joined, but it had only been short lessons, and she wasn't known for having the best memory. At least, not to remember the whole code of Twilightclan in mere days.
If, just maybe, she could learn something from Dawnwish, she could possibly use those skills to help out others when Dawnwish was busy. Plus, she'd learn something that she'd wanted to learn when they'd been traveling, back with her brother. If she could heal, she could find Mikel and help him, too. Even if that was a far stretch, she could always try.

Hawkeyes258"Ah. Sure" Twigpaw holds back a grimace. Lightningstrike was so quick, Twigpaw was obviously going to have trouble keeping up. He'd use his size against her if he could and so he tenses and gets ready. "I'm ready" He nods ~~~~ 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨"Nightpaw, I know. For now, the techniques we practiced....can be applied to birds, but aren't exactly for it." She goes to continue, but she notices the apprentices irritation and how she draws in. Ah. Well then. "Nightpaw, have we upset you?" her tone is gentle, but firm. The tone she uses to needle younger cats into speaking the truth. "You know we don't doubt your skills, right?" She stops and looks down at her apprentice in concern. ~~~~~ ρυмρкιηqυєєη13"Ah yes!" Nectarfur beams and bounces forward with a flick of his tail, "You know of our clan?" The cat-ah, yes, Mikel, didn't have the most open body language and seemed tense. He looks down to his apprentice and back up, "May we come closer, Mikel? So we can talk without shouting, I promise, we mean no harm to you. Just wish to talk, I always enjoy a good conversation with strangers!" Nectarfur was often times considered too friendly, and he would stay that way until otherwise provoked.

"That's the problem, saying we. Your my mentor, and I don't mind your daughter coming along. But seeing what you have with her, I never had that with anyone in my family, and everyone I did is gone now..." Nightpaw explained, and turned, "I was also aggravated she was judging me and you weren't, and it's just a lot of things. It doesn't matter." she said and sighed, "What about some mice? Small but elders tend to like them!" She offered, trying to cheer up, she didn't want to drag others into her issues.

"Nightpaw, she was correcting, it isn't a bad thing. As I corrected you. You weren't doing anything that warranted judging. Your steps were a bit deliberate, but you had intention behind it." She sits, "I know what happened with Shadestar was..." her gaze drops.
Shadestar.
The guilt eats at her still. As misguided Badgerheart had been... it hadn't excused his actions, and she would not excuse them ever.
"Nightpaw, you always have the clan. You have me. I'm happy to be your mentor and spend time with you. Never forget, you are a part of something bigger and we all value you as an apprentice." She moves forward and presses her chin atop of her head, "Never be scared of talking to us... but yes, the elders would love mice. They're nice and soft and plenty easy to tear apart."

He whips around quickly and lunges towards her, hoping to land into her side.

"Nothing that's really a big deal. Both are just relatives of clan members, but they chose not to join for whatever reason. One's an annoying kit who likes to spy and the other's an older tom." Scarlet tilted her head to one side as she listened. Neither had come very close to the abandoned den. Just how far away was the camp?

"O-Oh!" Dawnwish stammers, surprise evident on her face. "I.. well I certainly wasn't expecting that." She meows, somewhat lamely. She examines Leafheart's face. The she-cat seemed in earnest, and truth me told the idea of hanging out with her more excited Dawnwish. She was too young still to think about an apprentice.. but Leafheart didn't want to be a medicine cat, she just wanted to learn about some herbs to be useful. That didn't seem like such a bad idea. "There's nothing in the medicine code or the warrior code that forbids warriors from having a knowledge of herbs.." She started, speaking slowly as if she decided for herself as the words came out. But as she continued, her face brightened more and her ears perked up excitedly "Actually.. I really think that's a good idea, Leafheart!"
------
Coonface's eyes widened in surprise as the words tumbled out of the apprentice's mouth. She looked at her mother wordlessly, processing the exchange as Peony spoke.
What happened with Shadestar..
Coonface shoved down the feeling of foreboding, swallowing hard against the unwanted emotion. Her mother had explained that to her a long time ago. How her father had contributed to the death of the former leader of Twilightclan with his tirade against the presence of loners within the clan. Did Nightpaw see Badgerheart in Coonface? She blinked, her whiskers twitching as she contemplated the dark smudge of brown against her maw, darker than her mother but not quite black...
Coonface shook her head violently, banishing the thoughts. "That's right!" She meowed, finding her voice. "The clan doesn't look down on you Nightpaw, we just want you to be the best warrior ever! And.. maybe I did overstep my bounds a bit. But only because I'm jealous of my mom getting such a great apprentice as you!"
------
"Hmm, I see" Badger mused, his expression relaxed. "That explains why it's been so easy to keep them off of my trail. That and the rumors that a badger controls this part of the territory."
He laughs, a deep rumbling noise. The rumors combined with his uncanny appearance made for one of the only sources of entertainment in his life. It was true that a badger had staked his claim to their chunk of the territory, but the truth that it was just him, and old ragged loner, was comical in it's own right. "I suppose they don't want to tangle with one of the brutes, and who would blame them? Not that I wouldn't give any trespasser a good swipe, just to keep up appearances, but it is useful for warding off curious cats" He meowed, turning his head towards Scarlet "Or.. at least most curious cats."
(Badger/Ivy is my BROTP lmao. I love them so much lol)
(Also, the way I'm letting Dawnwish's character flow, it seems she has a bit of a crush on Leafheart, lol. But I don't expect that she'll ever act on her feelings, so there's no need for you to react in any way if you don't want to, pumpkin uwu)

"Thanks..." Nightpaw said with a smile, a comfort filling her heart. But then a heartbreak hit again, "It's not only Shadestar though, it's my parents and litter mates too..." she said and shook her head. "And Badgerheart was a good cat, I can tell you feel guilty, but I'm not mad at him, I'd like to meet him. I heard he was a strong and loyal cat, and Shadestar might have a been a rogue, and such, but he was only misguided by the Dark Forest!" She explained, trying to comfort her mentor, and her mentors daughter. "I'm sorry for being so selfish Coonface, your going to be an amazing mentor on day!" She said with a gentle smile.

Ivyfnag chuckled. "Well, you do go by Badger." In addition to the tom's odd coloration, he was certainly grumpy enough to be one. He glanced down towards the kit who hadn't been warded off. He wasn't too sure of how she came about. He'd visited one day and had been greeted by a dark red puff ball. Well, her fur wasn't as puffy anymore, but she was still as forward as ever. At least Badger had companionship. He worried a bit for the older cat since Scarlet wouldn't be much of an asset in a fight, but hopefully things wouldn't go down that road...
