Heavy »
While Heavy had not grown up in the borders of YewClan, she had generally stayed within the relative area. For the most part she had avoided the Clans' lands, steering away and venturing into fields and forests that had gone unclaimed. She knew that warmer weather brought storms with it, but the calico couldn't recall a time when the storms had been this frequent and this rough. A part of her wondered if they needed to keep an eye on their water sources - she had heard cats talk of flash floods before, and from what she had gathered, they were destructive, unpredictable, and terrifying.
The thought of such a calamity sent a shiver down her spine. YewClan was lucky to have land that was elevated, and the plan would surely involve evacuating toward the mountain, but with how quick flash floods sounded, how likely would they be to make it? Would she be able to make it? Before her accident Heavy had been a swift-footed molly, but she had yet to test out just how fast she was now. Or if she was even fast at all. The uncertainty of not knowing opened a deep pit in the bottom of the molly's stomach. They prey at her paws suddenly became unappetizing.
Her kits! Right, right. That's what they were talking about. That's what she needed to focus on.
Heavy shifted where she sat, slowly curling her tail around her paws as if to comfort herself from her earlier thoughts. Funny how it seemed like her conversations with Spottedfur always centered around offspring. Perhaps when two parents got together conversation always flowed to kits.
A trill of laughter slipped off the calico's tongue, hushed yet vocalized enough for Spottedfur to hear. There was no universe in which her kits wouldn't throw fits here and there once they were apprenticed. A milestone for every growing cat in their adolescent moons was to act out and think they knew how to do everything better than others.
"What was Stormmask like as a kit?" The queen then asked, curious. She had yet to join the Clan when Spottedfur's daughter had still been in the nursery. She had barely known Stormmask as an apprentice, having been taken in only a moon or so before Stormmask had received her full name, before Heavy had recovered from her infection. The world had been a blur back then, and even now she had trouble recalling some of the things that had happened within her first few moons residing in YewClan. |

 ScarletdriftYewclan Territory | Patrolling with Heavy and Dappleswipe | Feathertalon SapphirejasScarletdrift smelled the dog, it's musky scent flooding his nose. His fur stood on end, a dog?! Dogs were threats to cats in general. Even if it was a small one, sometimes the excitable yappy creatures could get a lucky hit on an experienced warrior. "Yes Heavy, dogs can be very dangerous." As they got closer, they all realized that the dog was right outside of clan territory. Scarletdrift thought, even so that they should go out and get ride of it. When he said this, Dappleswipe said no. "The Clan has just gone in a period of peace, and the last thing it needs is to go after a dog! Dogs are capable of killing healthy warriors while on patrol. And the last thing that the Clan want is another death after we lost so many cats the past year. We love our Clanmates and we support each other, which includes not going after dangerous animals. Also, the dog hasn't crossed the border, so it is very unlikely going to attack the kits. It's for the best of YewClan." Dappleswipe said. Scarletdrift knew better than to argue with his deputy, but what if the dog followed the patrol back to camp?! What if it scared away all the prey away?! As they were walking back to camp, the rain worsened. Scarletdrift grumbled, claiming it to be a sign that they should have chased it away.

Heavy »
Heavy couldn’t help but look back at her two Clanmates through narrowed eyes. She wondered if she had asked her question wrongly with the way they had answered, making it sound as if she had asked the two if dogs were dangerous to cats. Heavy was new to Clan life despite having been in YewClan for seasons, but she wasn’t a fool - what cat didn’t know what dogs were a danger? While she had never had a true run in with a dog, she had come close a time or two back when she had been a loner. No cat had to tell her twice just how deadly those glistening claws and slathering jowls could be. Stories of how the large canines tore into an unsuspecting cat and thrashed them around until all life had faded from their body was a part of every walk of life, from rogue, to loner, to Clan cat… Heavy knew they were deadly. The question she had been asking was if they were usually a threat within YewClan’s borders or not.
A tail flick was the only indication of Heavy’s subtle annoyance. She took a step back, sprouts of growing grass crunching underneath her paw. She decided to keep quiet, knowing that this was her first ever patrol, and not only that, but she was with the Clan deputy and a senior warrior who was highly respected. They were only looking out for her and teaching her things. Perhaps she should have expected to be subconsciously treated as some sort of apprentice, but would other warriors always treat her as an apprentice from now on?
The calico’s fur ruffled with worry at the thought, but a clap of thunder grabbed her attention. Blue eyes glanced between Dappleswipe and Scarletdrift, a silent question sparking in them that soon had an answer - they were to do nothing about the dog. It hadn’t crossed the border, and with a new bout of storms looming over them, it was best that they make it back to camp before they ended up soaked. Thick pelts were perfect for colder weather, but not for rainstorms.
As the patrol made it back to camp, a thought lingered in the back of Heavy’s mind. What if the dog found their scent trail? Would it follow them back to camp? If a dog made it to camp then Heavy’s kits would surely be in danger. They had a whole Clan to protect them - Spottedfur’s words from moons ago rang in the back of the queen’s mind - but if the dog was large and vicious, how much damage would it do before it was subdued? Heavy shuddered as thunder clapped once more and then the skies opened up, the land once more being subjected to a torrential downpour.
Heavy still didn’t much believe in StarClan, but she hoped that wasn’t a sign for things to come. |

 Feathertalon Mistlepaw (Relationship pip: gets along better with Slatekit +) Mistlepaw was glad to return to the apprentice's den, even that it was empty. She was feeling much better! Her venom in her body has finally let go, and she overheard the deputy, Dappleswipe say that the all the cats healing from yellowcough, and her healing from the snake bite was the doing of StarClan. She was also no longer starving, as the prey is running back well in the forest again. However, nothing is worse the pain than losing two of the warriors, Icepath and Deerleaf from yellowcough. Why couldn't StarClan heal them in time?! She initially didn't grieve the death of the former kittypet, Deerleaf. However, as a moon passed, his death finally hit her, raw and hard. The white and gray apprentice was in shock over their deaths! Will she die sooner that expected in the next leaf-bare?! Mistlepaw was questioning her mortality. She hoped she will live long enough to become an elder of YewClan, but the fear of dying pierced her heart. What if she suddenly woke up in the hunting grounds of StarClan sooner than expected?! Mistlepaw left the apprentice's den to enter the nursery to see the kits. She was feeling lonely as she is the only apprentice of YewClan. She wanted to spend time with Heavy's kits, as she haven't been getting along Thrushkit too well after he spat in her face when she ordered him to stay in the nursery during the deadly yellowcough outbreak (he also told his sister, Slatekit that she is bossy and not to be trusted). The white and gray she-cat noticed that Slatekit was the only kit awake, and Heavy was away. " She's probably out on a hunting patrol" thought Mistlepaw. The apprentice approached Slatekit, and bent to level with her light yellow eyes. " Hello Slatekit, I know I ordered Thrushkit to stay in the nursery, but that was only because there was a horrible yellowcough outbreak, and I was concerned about him. I'm really sorry for what I've done." Mistlepaw meowed sweetly to the dark gray and white she-kit. "Would you like to play with me? I promise I won't be bossy!"
Sand Mistlepaw ( "Practices some battle moves", and on training patrol with Spottedfur). Mistlepaw leaped on her mentor, Spottedfur's back with her claws sheathed.The white and gray apprentice slammed onto the ground, and got up and lunged at him, with her paws outstretched. Her sheathed paws hit the gray tom on the chest and he bounced back. Mistlepaw was getting older, and was getting closer to her warrior's ceremony! Her hunting skills has greatly improved, and she has become a much better battler. Spottedfur then called the battle off, and asked her to come with him to gather some moss for bedding for the YewClan's cats. The sickness in leaf-bare meant the moss stores had dwindled, because no moss-gathering patrols has been done for a few moons. Mistlepaw walked with Spottedfur to the damp cave where she and Spottedfur gathered moss when the white and gray she-cat first became an apprentice. Mistlepaw was really calm as she gathered the moss from the walls of the damp cave. She knew that the Clan really needed moss, and she was helping the Clan that she was really loyal to. The Clan that took her in as a kit, and loved her for many moons. Mistlepaw bounded back to her mentor, Spottefur, carrying a huge amount of moss in her mouth. She passed them to him and opened her mouth to speak to him. " Are you proud of me, Spottedfur? I feel like I have changed since I was a kit. I can't wait to be a warrior. I love serving the Clan that I'm so loyal to. YewClan is my home." Mistlepaw spoke gently to him. |

Slatekit »
Alone in the nursery was a rare occurrence for Slatekit. More often than not she was with her littermates and mother, and if she wasn’t with her family then she was out in camp spending time with the first warrior she made eye contact with. With the knowledge that she would become an apprentice soon the young feline was trying to make a name for herself, attempting to put herself out there and gain respect with her older Clanmates. If they thought fondly of her and noticed that she had what it took to be the best cat for YewClan then they’d help propel her forward into her future role as YewClan leader.
She dreamed of the day she’d be standing before her Clan as their rightful leader. Being alone in the nursery gave her time to ponder over this goal, to think out all the moves she had to make to gain such a prestigious rank. She knew she had to make sure Bubblingstar was her mentor, no other cat would be allowed to train her. Should the leader even consider another cat as her mentor then she’d make sure to say something to get him to fix it. Perhaps she needed to prepare a speech on the off chance that did happen, but surely Bubblingstar could see that he was the only mentor for her.
The next step would be to become a warrior as soon as she could. Enthusiasm in her training and listening to everything Bubblingstar had to tell her would surely help her earn her name in just a moon or two. Slatekit didn’t have time for the six moons or more of training that most apprentices endured. Psh! That was boring! And that would take up way too much of her time. What would her warrior name be? It had to be something cool and tough, something worthy of all her skills and knowledge. Maybe Slatestorm? That sounded tough! Slatestrike? Slatehawk? Maybe even Slatechill or Slateshock? There were so many different possibilities! All Slatekit knew was that she would argue if Bubblingstar tried to name her something stupid like Slateflower, Slatecloud, or Slatepuddle. They were cool names in their own right, but those names were for cats who just wanted to sit around and be happy as just a warrior or even a queen, and that wasn’t something Slatekit wanted.
Huh. For all her respects toward Bubblingstar, she sure was ready to argue with him a lot.
Eh, that was a problem for later. Especially now that there were pawsteps outside the nursery.
Slatekit’s ears pricked, head turning to face the entrance. It wasn’t long before a white head poked inside followed by a white body. ”Mistlepaw?” She asked, surprised at the molly’s appearance. The apprentice was some moons older than Slatekit and her littermates, but Mistlepaw and Heavy were close; Heavy had watched Mistlepaw as a kit, and Slatekit had been around a few times when her mother and the apprentice had time to catch up between illness, snake bites, and Mistlepaw’s apprentice training. Even still, Slatekit herself hadn’t spent a large amount of time with the white molly. Seeing her now left a trickle of curiosity dripping like subtle rainfall.
If Slatekit was being honest, she didn’t pay much mind to the apprentice’s apology. Instead she focused mainly on Mistlepaw’s question on if she wanted to play a game or not. The charcoal and white kit’s tail went straight into the air, eyes alight. Any misgivings she may have had about Mistlepaw flew away on the wings of a metaphorical eagle. ”Let’s play that I’m leader and I’m giving you your warrior name!” Slatekit suggested loudly, bounding over to the white molly and stretching on her toes to get eye level with Mistlepaw. The kit’s whiskers trembled with excitement, eager to act out a warrior ceremony.

Feathertalon Mistlepaw (spending time with Slatekit). Mistlepaw looked amused at the kit. This game looked silly, but it would be fun to play with a kit! " Yes, that sounds like a very fun game!" Giggled Mistlepaw, looking into her pale yellow eyes. She can't wait to play with her. Mistlepaw walked up to Slatekit with her tail held up high, and her heart melting at the sight of Slatekit. The sunlight beamed onto her white fur. It was one of the rare times that sunlight was pelting through the clouds. Normally it is gray and storming, with low levels of light.
 Sand TheKeenGlint Dappleswipe (argues with Stormmask so long about how to fix something that Spottedfur ended fixing up instead - ). Dappleswipe had been arguing with Stormmask for so long about how to fix the thicket barrier at the edge of camp. that was damaged during a storm. Her fur stood on end, her back was arched, and her hackles were raised as she spat how she like the brambles to be arranged at the border of camp. " Stormmask, no! If we arrange the thickets like that, the wind from the storms cloud blow and damage the barrier again easily! It's better we stack them firmly, so that the wind can't blow through them!" Shouted the black and dark ginger deputy. "Do you want your beloved Clanmates to get cold during the night, and allow predators like foxes to easily enter into the camp during the night and kill the kits!" When Stormmask continues argues back, Dappleswipe hissed at him, which made Stormmask stand back with fear, fur raised on his pelt. He walked away. Suddenly, Spottedfur came running towards Mistlepaw. " What have I done?!" Thought Dappleswipe, alarmed. " StarClan, please don't hate me!"

 Spottedfur : talking with Heavy
Spottedfur wasn't too worried about the rolling thunderstorms. To him, it felt a bit premature to stress over what would happen if the storms continued. Even then, if they got worse, he wasn't concerned. They weren't as strong as they used to be, but he was confident enough that YewClan would survive any unpredictable natural disaster. If he had to give up his life for another cat's, he would do it in a heartbeat. He was getting old and StarClan knew how much longer he would live for. While he was here, though, Spottedfur preferred to keep a positive outlook than a negative one.
However, it seemed that Heavy thought differently than him. He could only wonder why she was so stuck in her mind. The grouse sat at her paws and she didn't take a bite at it once. The silver speckled tom watched the calico as she shifted slowly then let out a cute trill of laughter. He thought it was really nice to hear her laugh despite the endeavors she had faced in the past.
"Oh, StarClan, she was a little troublemaker! I remember she was always going into Icepath's den whether she was allowed to or not. Even though she would get scolded, she never stopped trying. I remember her playing with Dappleswipe too. She would try to find a cat to prank and it didn't matter who it was," Spottedfur exclaimed with a soft purr, his eyes beaming with delight. It was as if he was reliving the good memories of the past.
"I never thought she would be interested in herbs, but as a kit, she would bother Icepath and ask to learn about anything medicine cat related. It was surprising, but I think it fits her well. Stormmask bonded well with Icepath from the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised if she saw her more as a parental figure than myself."
His silver gaze lingered on the medicine cat's den, knowing that his daughter was hiding in there. She was still grieving for her mentor and it seemed like the grief would never come to an end. For her he hoped that it would pass. He glanced at Heavy again, licking his chest fur in embarrassment. "What about Thrushkit, Brightkit, and Slatekit? What are they like?" Spottedfur questioned, wondering what it was like to have such a big litter. "Three kits seems like a lot to me, but I'm sure they are worth it."

Spottedfur : practicing battle moves & gathering moss with Mistlepaw
Over time, Mistlepaw had grown as an apprentice. She was a much better hunter and fighter in Spottedfur's eyes. He wasn't going easy on her during battle training though. Soon she would be a warrior like himself and he wanted to see her succeed. Of course there was room to improve, but he was quite content with the white and grey she-cat's skills.
After their battle training, he called Mistlepaw off to go gather moss. With barely any moss left, some cat had to go and collect it. Just like their first patrol together, Spottedfur led her to the damp cave once more. The sound of water trickling off of the stalactites calmed him. Something felt off though, his apprentice was oddly quiet and composed for once. He knew he didn't need to instruct Mistlepaw on how to gather moss since she had done it many times by now. Yet he wanted to ask her something, maybe reassure her about her training.
The speckled grey tom began removing moss carefully from the cave's wall before heading back to the middle of the cave. Soon enough, Mistlepaw bounded over to him with her huge ball of moss. "Thanks, Mistlepaw," he meowed with a soft smile. "I think we've collected enough moss for a few moons, don't you?"
He noticed his apprentice's gentleness which seemed out of character for her. It was odd-- for once she wasn't being boastful. Spottedfur wasn't going to lie, he preferred the more mature Mistlepaw, but that didn't mean he would ignore how she was feeling. "Of course I am! You've been an amazing apprentice to teach and learn from," the senior warrior mewed abruptly. "You will be an amazing warrior, Mistlepaw, there's no doubt about that. I'm glad you've found your home because we love having you with us too."
Spottedfur paused momentarily before exhaling two times. He wasn't going to avoid this topic with the white and grey apprentice. Now was the time to bring it up. "Are you okay? You seem to be more calm and composed than usual. If something is bothering you, you've got to let me know," he asked lightly, stepping a bit closer to Mistlepaw.

 Sand Mistlepaw (on training patrol with Spottedfur) Mistlepaw listened to Spottedfur's words, " Of course I am! You've been an amazing apprentice to teach and learn from. "You will be an amazing warrior, Mistlepaw, there's no doubt about that. I'm glad you've found your home because we love having you with us too." and " Are you okay? You seem to be more calm and composed than usual. If something is bothering you, you've got to let me know" Mistlepaw thought for a moment. It's so good to hear that her mentor is proud of her, and that she will be an amazing warrior. She was with peace with herself, and her home. Yet something has been troubling her... It was the deaths of Icepath and Deerleaf. Ever since she recovered from the snake bite, their deaths hit her hard! She was calm, because she was in shock over their deaths, and she is questioning her mortality. " Spottedfur, I feel that I'm at home, and I don't want to leave here. I'm upset over the deaths of Icepath and Deerleaf, Icepath was an amazing healer, and Deerleaf was a good warrior. What if Stormmask wasn't able to save me from the snake bite? I know I would wake up in StarClan's hunting grounds, but... The thought that I wouldn't be able to become a warrior if I died, and leaving YewClan scares me. I can't believe I lived the snake attack. But, would the other YewClan remember me, and would I make an impact on the Clan. And I miss Icepath, and Deerleaf too. They didn't deserve to die." Stuttered Mistlepaw calmly. " I don't want to leave Heavy and her kits as well." " I don't want to die before I make a real impact on my Clanmates and my legacy as a warrior!" Thought Mistlepaw with fear as she walked back to YewClan's camp from the damp cave. " I want to live to be the best warrior of YewClan!" OOC: I'm really sorry for going too into detail of Spottedfur's thoughts and actions in my prompts! I'll be more careful next time. |

oof, fingers crossed! just had to replace my laptop because of a spark :/ oh yikes ;-; I've never bricked a mb before, but I did short a laptop by plugging it into the wrong charger (worst part: it wasn't mine, so I had to pay for a replacement :/ I don't even feel fully guilty because they asked me to plug it in across the room on that charger and I was just. doing it as I went across the room to be nice. and then that charger was for someone else's laptop and fried it. smh) it was only my back panel that shorted, so it was just a power surge. I found the culprit (my old VR headset) and it is now in timeout. Nothing was injured, the breaker caught it and there was no damage (that I could see or test for) so looks like it was just a spook! ]] |

Bubblingstar is extremely close with Storm-mask, feeling secure in her care and loving her deeply (platonically)
Spottedfur is annoyed with Heavy more than not recently.
Heavy and Stemriver have mutually lost all romantic attraction (???? idk how this happened) but retain high platonic friendship
Stemriver considers Dappleswipe a close friend, but she only sees him as an aquaintance.
Dappleswipe relies heavily on Bubblingstar, Scarletdrift and Spottedfur and trusts them all implicitly.
Mistlepaw trusts Spottedfur greatly and feels comfortable around her mentor.
Thrushpaw gets along better with Slatepaw than Brightpaw.
Slatepaw looks up to Mistlepaw a lot
Brightpaw doesn't interact with any cat outside her family very much. She is slightly jealous of how easily Slatepaw gets along with every cat.

oof, fingers crossed! just had to replace my laptop because of a spark :/ oh yikes ;-; I've never bricked a mb before, but I did short a laptop by plugging it into the wrong charger (worst part: it wasn't mine, so I had to pay for a replacement :/ I don't even feel fully guilty because they asked me to plug it in across the room on that charger and I was just. doing it as I went across the room to be nice. and then that charger was for someone else's laptop and fried it. smh) it was only my back panel that shorted, so it was just a power surge. I found the culprit (my old VR headset) and it is now in timeout. Nothing was injured, the breaker caught it and there was no damage (that I could see or test for) so looks like it was just a spook! ]]
good to hear!! tech issues are always so nerve-wracking, especially if it's someone elses. you are braver than i to not pass out immediately in any slightly stressful situation

( Spottedfur, why don't you like Heavy as much as I do?
all of the new sprites are so cute <3 Mistlepaw had a glow up.
I wonder if Heavy x Stemriver was like one night stand or really short term? or were we wrong?
I'm glad that the motherboard is safe and away from the VR headset! )

So things will change from what the game naturally puts thru. but yeah game!Spottedfur is really grumpy and has mild dislike for over half the Clan lmao which is weird because he's supposedly "compassionate" and that is supposed to reroll the negative interactions into positives sometimes. ]] |

Slatepaw - Bubblingstar was completely Clangen I didn't even need to touch it! The game knew that's what needed to be done. I did change Brightpaw's mentor, because the game gave her to Heavy and it's usually not typical for a mother to mentor her kits in the books so. I flipped a coin between Dappleswipe and Stemriver and came up Stem <3 It had that very funny Clangen text thing where Brightpaw's ceremony was like "Heavy watched with pride as Brightpaw touched Heavy's nose. Heavy knew Heavy would do a great job as their mentor" which was pretty funny. |

[ the game is giving Slatepaw too much power
Yeah that makes sense! It would be odd if Heavy mentored her own kit so I do think that was a really good change to make. even tho Stem is mentoring a kit but like it's different with him
Heavy knew Heavy would do a great job xD ]

wonders if anyone notices how nervous she is to be a warrior - kits are apprenticed, and encourages thrushpaw - Nettle
Today was the day. After six moons that felt both way too short and much too long, her kits were becoming apprentices. They were going to stand before the entire Clan and vow to train in the way of a warrior. It had been something her kits had been eager for for moons, and Heavy was excited for this ceremony as well, but there was something bittersweet about watching her children grow up. Gone were the days she could curl up with the three of them in the nursery and tell them stories as they drifted off to sleep. Gone were the days she could sit about in camp and watch as the three of them played with one another. Her kits were growing up, and it would take some time for Heavy to get used to that.
Something else she knew she needed to get used to was the fact that she was now officially a warrior of the Clan. Yes, she didn’t have a true warrior name, and there had been no ceremony for her welcoming her as a true member, but now that she was healed from all her ailments and no longer in the nursery with kits, the only other rank she could step into was warrior. Last moon she had gone on her first ever patrol, but from now on the patrols would be more frequent and she would be participating as a real warrior of YewClan. Tonight while her kits made nests for themselves in the apprentices’ den, she’d be making a nest for herself in the warriors’ den.
Excitement for her kits grew into apprehension for her own promotion. For all the seasons she had been a part of YewClan she had been stuck in camp and had been treated as some permanent camp-helper; that wasn’t far from the truth, she had stayed in camp at all times of the day and would help where it was needed, but now she was able to walk again and get out of camp, able to hunt and patrol and provide for the Clan that had taken her in all those moons ago. Heavy’s calico pelt prickled with anxiety. Ants crawled through her fur, biting her and injecting self consciousness into her mentality.
The sounds of the apprentice ceremony beginning pulled Heavy away from her worries; she hoped no other cat had noticed just how nervous she was at the prospect of being an actual warrior of YewClan.
Swallowing her own worries down the calico swiftly went up to her kits one last time, giving them a few quick licks and smiling down at them, her heart swelling with pure love and affection toward her litter. Heavy couldn’t have asked for anything more from them.
She paused for a moment after licking Thrushkit, noticing a wide-eyed look about him. Heavy purred warmly, nuzzling into him. ”You’ll make the Clan just as proud as you make me,” she mewed encouragingly into his ear before softly pushing him away, waiting for Bubblingstar to start calling her kits up one by one.

picks out best prey for stormmask, goes on herb patrol with stormmask - TheKeenGlint
Going on a herb gathering patrol with Stormmask felt like an easy first attempt at a patrol as a full warrior. Having shared a meal with the young medicine cat - Heavy had offered the younger molly the plumpest squirrel on the fresh-kill pile - the two were now deep in YewClan’s forest, looking for patches of tansy and any sign of catmint; after the yellowcough outbreak just about every cat knew the importance of keeping a fresh supply of the remedy around.
The patrol started off as a normal patrol. Heavy had her doubts even with herb gathering, worried that she might miss a patch or do something to hinder the patrol, but even her own anxieties weren’t so much that she missed the obvious signs of tension in Stormmask. There was a shudder in the dark gray molly’s steps, a tremble in the way she breathed that hitched on the exhale. It was clear to Heavy that Stormmask was trying to hide her emotions as best she could, but Heavy had always been a perceptive molly, and noticing even subtle emotions in the body language of another had always come easy to the calico.
Deciding that looking for herbs could wait another time, Heavy padded beside Stormmask, gently brushing her pelt against the medicine cat’s. ”Is everything alright?” She asked softly, more of a whisper than anything. She wondered what could be weighing so heavy on the young cat’s shoulders, and as Heavy was reminiscent about the last few moons, there was one thing that came to mind.
”You did your best, you know. Keeping the Clan safe while you yourself was sick. I know we…lost some cats,” Heavy glanced away for a moment, her own grief for Deerleaf and Icepath washing over her ”but don’t let that discourage you.” Heavy wanted to say more, but she held her tongue, wanting her words to sink into Stormmask’s mind before continuing. She wanted to make sure she was actually helping before continuing on and realizing much too late that she was only making things worse.

Slatepaw »
wonders how heavy is doing, glad to see stormmask out and about - @ open
”Slatepaw, I will be your mentor”.
It had been a few days since her apprentice ceremony and she still couldn’t believe that Bubblingstar had decided to mentor her! Well, she could believe it, she had manifested it and brought it to life with all her little heart, but Bubblingstar had actually picked her to train, had chosen her out of all her littermates to take under his wing. Becoming leader of YewClan was starting to look more and more like reality than it was a dream.
Slatepaw was still fizzing from excitement from her ceremony even days later. Being a ‘paw meant she was one step away from being a warrior, and once she was a warrior she would become deputy, and then leader. She’d be able to support YewClan through anything that came its way, and she’d be able to do it with pride and grace.
Beyond being closer to being a warrior, which was something she strived to become in two moons or less, she also got to share a den with Mistlepaw. Slatepaw loved her littermates, and wished them all the best, but the charcoal molly enjoyed the time she spent with Mistlepaw as well. The white apprentice had been a ‘paw for longer and had a lot of experience underneath her that Slatepaw wanted to learn all about. She’d have to pester Mistlepaw later and get some advice out of the white apprentice.
While the new apprentice buzzed around camp thinking about all of this, she noticed Stormmask alongside Heavy as they left the camp. Slatepaw wondered how her mother was doing now that all her kits had left the nursery, and it was nice seeing Stormmask leaving camp once. Despite being so young Slatepaw knew that the medicine cat had been down in the dumps lately, her emotions as gloomy as the rainfall outside. Perhaps this was a sign that Stormmask was starting to feel better. Slatepaw hoped to StarClan that it was.

tree climbing training with bubblingstar - jaybun!
”Bubblingstar! Watch this!”
A break in the rain had allowed Bubblingstar and Slatepaw to go outside and work on training. The leader had decided to test out tree climbing with Slatepaw, and the apprentice had been more than eager to dig her claws into the bark of a tree and see what all she could accomplish. She had never been in a tree before, and as soon as she had climbed up to the first branch, she was addicted. Having always been on the ground, Slatepaw had never witnessed the world at a taller height. She had never noticed just how much she was missing out on, how much land she couldn’t see from the ground.
This excitement of her newfound amazement came in the form of hopping from branch to branch. She was determined to perfect her tree climbing skills today. Before sunset she’d be Slatesquirrel, the Clan’s best tree climber! Not only would Bubblingstar be proud of her, but Heavy would be as well. The whole Clan would cheer for her and would realize just how much of an asset to the Clan she was.
With a wriggle of her hindquarters, Slatepaw leaped toward the next branch, sure that it would hold her weight. It was thinner than the one she had been perched on, but the young feline didn’t weigh all that much, especially since she was still recovering some of the weight she had lost during her bout of yellowcough. Plus, squirrels and birds sat on branches thinner than this one all the time, so why should she be worried it wouldn’t hold her?
Slatepaw executed her landing with precision. She puffed her chest out and was about to crow out her victory when a sharp snap! under paw jolted her; the apprentice let out a squeak of surprise. Before she knew it, air was whistling in her ears and her paws were no longer on anything solid. Terror thudding in her heart, Slatepaw fell from the snapped branch, tumbling down, flailing around in hopes of catching her fall before she hit the ground below.

Yay and aw!
I was sort of hoping Thrush would be mentored by Storm-mask, thought he had the personality for it, but that's still awesome. And yay, Stemriver is mentoring Brightpaw!! Plus, thank God Stemriver isn't in love with Dappleswipe. i think he's loved enough old cats for now. Isn't there some age gap between him and Heavy?? And it is a little disappointing to see that He and Heavy have lost interest in each other, but I think they'll raise their kits together all the same.]]
