Early morning light seeped into the leaders den. A she-cat blinked in the light, a yawn escaping from her mouth. She stretched, shaking the scraps of moss that clung to her brown pelt off. She slipped out of her den, her pitch black eyes immediately darting around the camp. It was a tad late in the morning, a few warriors should be awake now. She padded over to the fresh-kill pile where a smoky gray tom sat. He swallowed his last bite of rabbit before looking up. "'Morning." he greeted, pushing the rabbit over towards his sister. "'Morning..." she mumbled taking a bite. "Something wrong?" Stormfire asked. Nightstar wasn't usually like this. "No." She replied quickly. The two finished off the rabbit, sending their thanks to StarClan for the food.
Stormfire sighed. Nightstar was actually always like this. He only misinterpreted her. Nightstar never liked to open up to anyone about her worries, not even to her own brother. I know she just doesn't want to make the clan worry. He thought, staring into nothing. Sometimes I think she's being too responsible. Stormfire knew Nightstar well, they were siblings after all. Yet he still wondered what could be on her mind every day.

SilverWind stretched, savouring the feeling, before padding out of the warrior's den to see NightStar and Stormfur. She dipped her head to the leader, and smiled at Stormfur. "Good morning NightStar" she meowed, before looking around. "Have the dawn patrol gone yet? It's a little late" she added, tail twitching nervously.

"I should hope so." Nightstar replied, not bothering to return the morning greeting. The leader would certainly be angry if there was more trouble with getting patrols out today as well. "The moon is growing fuller." She announced, changing the subject completely. "There will be a gathering soon. I hope to appoint a deputy by then and maybe give Morningpaw her warrior name. But perhaps another moon of training will be necessary." She turned to look at Stormfire. "What do you think?"
Stormfire took a moment to think about it. Morningpaw was about 9 moons, she had been training for 3 moons then. "One more moon should be fine." The warrior tom had sometimes acted as an adviser for Nightstar. But it's more of a "relying on family" thing rather than insinuating that he will be deputy. Yes, Stormfire would make a good deputy. But that would only be so if he wanted to be deputy. Stormfire was always happy with his warrior position, and he wanted nothing more.

As dawn crept into the the warriors den, Wildstreak slowly padded out. The previous day he had gone out hunting, catching a few fish himself, along with the other several fish the other members of the patrol had caught. The thought of those fish began to make his mouth water, but instead of heading to the fresh-kill pile, the tom blinked his eyes as he spotted a group of cats talking amoungst themselves. "Morning." he replied to the group, padding to them.
The light of the new day awaked Cloverpaw. The apprentice had slept in the den with her sister, Hollykit, that night, only because her sister had asked. Of course Cloverpaw would do anything for her little sister. She felt sorry for the tiny kit. The she-cat saw that little Hollykit was still asleep, and she was curled up beside her. Cloverpaw slowly pulled herself from her sister, and padded out of the nursery, and decided she wouldn't get something to eat just yet, she would wait and have a meal with Hollykit.

Hearing her name mentioned, Morningpaw padded out of the apprentices' den and stretched, pink mouth opened wide in a yawn. "Mmmm...good morning, Nightstar, Stormfire, Silverwind, Wildstreak, Cloverpaw." she meowed quietly, respectfully dipping her head to her leader before turning to Stormfire. "Can we train today, Stormfire? Please? I think I have that stalking technique down, I was practicing it yesterday on patrol...." She dropped into a stealthy crouch, creeping along silently while gazing at her mentor. "Was that right?"

Silverwind smiled as Cloverpaw came out of the nursery. She nodded to NightStar, respectfully lowering her eyes, before walking over to the young apprentice. "How are you today Cloverpaw?" she asked, her tail flicking from side to side, relaxed and at ease in the presence of her clan-mates.

"'Morning." Stormfire greeted. His attention turned to Morningpaw, as she practiced her stalk. "Well done! I'm sure you'll be an excellent hunter. I suppose we could go training today. Perhaps Silverwind and Cloverpaw would like to join us?" He looked at the two she-cats, ready for a reply.

As Cloverpaw heard Morningpaw, her eyes drifted to the other apprentice. "Good morning to you." she replied, making sure that she wasn't rude to anyone who had spoken to her.
"Hey Silverwind!" The she-cat apprentice exclaimed seeing her mentor. "I'm good, I guess, I'm just worried about my sister." she said.
Her ears pricked up as she heard the mentioning of her name from Stormfire. "I don't have a problem with it." she replied to the tom. "Would you like to, Silverwind?" she asked her mentor.

Silverwind chuckled slightly at her apprentice's reaction. "Of course Cloverpaw. Let me see your best hunting crouch" she meowed, smiling. She turned to Stormfire. "When will we be leaving?" she asked, her eyes alight with newfound wisdom.

"COO-" Morningpaw began, but then stopped as all the other cats' eyes seemed to burn into her head. "Erm, I mean, great! Can we go soon, Stormfire?" Stop acting like a kit in front of everyone! she admonished herself. You'll never be a warrior if you always do that when you're excited!

The old tom slowly blinked himself awake. To the sound of chatter. Again. He unsheathed his claws and sunk them into the dirt, trying to exert all his anger through his nails. Stormshadows got up, stretching and yawning, arching his back. The cat sighed, then settled himself down again on the ground. He had at least a few more minutes' downtime. As an elder, he didn't have to do anything. Stormshadows coughed a little, then curled up. Unless someone needed him, he'd be sleeping.

Puddlekit stared up at the older cats with wide eyes. She had been playing with a moss ball in the nursery when her mother had told her to take it outside. She obeyed to find the larger cats just outside. Normally, Puddlekit stayed to herself or just played with the other kits her age in the nursery. She hadn't gotten to know the rest of the clan too well yet, and the size of them frightened her at times. Her mother was smaller, and that's what she was used to. Beside her small paws, the moss ball lay forgotten. [/size]

Silverwind stared at puddlekit, with curious eyes. She padded over slowly, and lowered herself to it's height. "How are we today puddlekit?" she asked, making sure her voice was as soft and gentle as possible.

Puddlekit backed up, tripping over the moss ball and landing hard on her bottom. She stared up nervously at Silverwind and let out a quiet, "Good." Dewdrop smilled at her kit. She was watching them from the nursery entrance. She knew she would have to work on the problem Puddlekit had with strangers. It would take time, but she already had it planned out. [/size]

Silevrwind was confused at why puddlekit would be so nervous. She playfully nudged the moss ball closer to the kit. "Bet you can't push that as hard as me" she said, smiling a little.
