The LeafClan camp was quiet, sound dampened by the layer of snow that was falling almost continuously at this point. Occasionally, a soft breeze would waft through the camp and kick up some of the snow that had fallen moments before but it was otherwise still. At any other time of year movement could be heard, whether it be birds in the trees or critters on the ground. This far into leafbare left the forest without its usual cacophony of sounds and it was disconcerting to most, but to Honeypaw it was peace. She lived for the moments of silence between the usual noise of camp.
 
Inside the apprentice den, Honeypaw curled herself into a tight ball. "Where the hell is Cedarpaw?" The light brown tabby grumbled to herself quietly, her brother was usually here to keep her warm. She cracked open her eyes to see that she was right, her brother was no where to be found. Shifting, Honeypaw rolled into where her brother usually was to see if the bedding was still warm - it wasn't, which meant that he hadn't been there for some time. Probably off training or being a suck-up, Honeypaw figured, huffing into where her head was resting on her paws. She twitched her tail in slight annoyance, Sagewhisker had given her the day off but she wasn't sure what to do with her time. She hadn't exactly had time to make any friends with the other apprentices of LeafClan yet. Most were off with their own mentors during the day and doing everything in their power to keep warm at night. That didn't usually leave time for talking or bonding.

This time of morning, Foxpaw had been up for hours, having eaten her breakfast and watching the older, stronger warriors begin to emerge from their dens. This would all be fine and well if not for the fact that she had nothing to do today. Redflower, her mentor, had nothing planned and for some apprentices that would be pure bliss, a rare gem.

For Foxpaw, it was a pain in the rear end. What on earth was she meant to do all day with all this snow?

Standing from where she had settled down with her finished breakfast loosely clasped between paws, Foxpaw looked around the snow covered clearing with bright green eyes. She had to do something and someone was going to join her. Bounding across to the apprentices den where no doubt some were still to be found, Foxpaw shoved her head in and immediately spotted a waking Honeypaw.

"Honeypaw!" she greeted not in the least self conscious as she made her way over with a cunning look in her eye. "Wanna go exploring?"

[Feather]

Honeypaw jolted out of her half asleep doze when Foxpaw came bounding into the den. Speaking of other apprentices... Honeypaw blearily turned her head towards the other apprentice was walking towards her. The fiery red she-cat had bright green eyes that looked like they were ready for mischief. Honeypaw hadn't really gotten to know Foxpaw yet, but her first impression went along the lines of confident, bright and outgoing. There was no denying that when even just observing the other she-cat. Honeypaw was slightly jealous of her unabashed... brightness. Her brother held it too and there was just something in Honeypaw that was holding herself back from being that way.

"Honeypaw!" The she-cat walked towards her. "Wanna go exploring?"

This surprised Honeypaw who was suddenly very, very awake. "Exploring?" She managed to rasp out. "Alone?"

There was nothing Honeypaw wanted to do more, if she was honest. She'd been out on a few training sessions with Sagewhisker, including a few that had given her a tour of LeafClan territory, but she hadn't been able to really go out and explore yet. She'd been itching to...and this just might be the chance she was waiting for.

Cloudpaw was curled up in his nest. His white long-haired fur was nice in the winter it made it easier to hunt and well stay warm. The young tom just curled up in a tighter ball when a slightly breeze came through the apprentice den. Still sound asleep he seemed to be having a dream. but it wasn't just a dream it was more of a memory. One that happened recently. He was sitting in the leaders den while Sunstar was there too. but he couldn't hear anything she was saying her voice as muffled as she looked mad at him. That's not rig-" His body was forced from the dream with the sound of real voices talking. The white tom caught the word 'exploring'. Thats when he opened his eyes. They were clear blue like his father's well he was a spitting image of the leader before Sunstar. He just blinked his eyes a few times letting them focus on who was talking.

He was looking at two of his den mates. Honeypaw who was younger than him and then Foxpaw who was quite outgoing and always full of energy it seemed like. Smirked slightly before a yawn came about him. Opening up his jaws he let it happen before sitting up. He then shook out his long white fur. It seems that Cloudpaw wasn't the only cat that she had woken up. Honeypaw sounded a bit groggy as well. He just then took her question as his cue to enter. "Alone! Nah, I'm going along as well. You know it wouldn't be the first time I skipped out on training." The tom just then padded over and stood next to Foxpaw smiling ear to ear. He loved adventures and well anything to get him in trouble he was willing to dive head first into.

"Exploring?" the honey coloured apprentice said. "Alone?"

"Yes alone, silly," Foxpaw said, fluffing her tail with an excited grin. "C'mon! It'll be-"

"Alone!" a deeper voice cut in causing Foxpaw to turn her head to see Cloudpaw approaching them. "Nah, I'm going along as well. You know it wouldn't be the first time that I've skipped out on training."

As he spoke, the white tom stepped up beside her, grinning much like a Cheshire cat. Foxpaw let out a mrow of amusement and shook her head at him. She hadn't hung out with these two before but she had seen them around camp and they looked exciting. Fluffing her tail again, Foxpaw looked back at Honeypaw and made a motion for her to hurry up. "Get up lazy bones - we have a whole day of exploring ahead of us, amiright Cloudpaw?" Looking over at him, Foxpaw seemed to bounce on her feet before she turned  and headed towards the den entrance, peering out into the camp. "C'mon slow pokes!" Bunching her legs, the small apprentice made her way across the camp, leaving small paw prints in the snow.

Honeypaw couldn't have been more surprised when the other apprentice who'd been sleeping in here with her woke up and decided to join in the conversation. "Alone?" He was grinning, "Nah, I'm going along as well. You know it wouldn't be the first time I skipped out on training." Cloudpaw, if she was remembering correctly. What was this morning turning into?

Foxpaw looked back down at her, eyes startlingly bright. She fluffed her tail and made a sweeping gesture. "Get up lazy bones - we have a whole day of exploring ahead of us, amiright Cloudpaw?" The she-cat seemed to be vibrating with excitement and Honeypaw idly wondered how anyone could contain all of that excitement. "C'mon slow pokes!" Foxpaw was walking away.

Honeypaw scrambled to her feet, not even able to find the words to protest if she'd wanted to. There was no way she was being left behind today. Not when she'd been blatantly invited on this adventure. She turned to look at Cloudpaw for a second to see his reaction but the tom cat looked as excited and ready to go as she felt. Fluffing up her fur, Honeypaw shook any tiredness that was lingering in her body. Then,without even looking to see if Cloudpaw was going to follow, Honeypaw took off after Foxpaw.  Turns out her day might not be so boring after all.

Cloudpaw just flicked his tail and watched Foxpaw transform even more into her bubbly self. He just then blinked his clear blue eyes at her. Then he just chuckled and shook his head lightly. This was going to be an interesting day. One because he had never really went on an adventure let alone talk to either one of these apprentices. For the past moon he had been hiding out avoiding training. All because he didn't want his warrior name to come any faster that it already was. He just still was warming up to the idea that Sunstar was going to give him his warrior name. He just then put all of his problems and thoughts away and focused on what was going on now. "Oh yes we do." He said back to the excited Foxpaw who was already on the move.

Thats when Cloudpaw glanced back at Honeypaw. She seemed to be scrambling to her paws, his blue eyes were shining with amusement. He just then purred and called out to Foxpaw, "I am coming! Maybe if you would just look behind that large tail of yours for once you would see that we are right behind you." Then he twitched his whiskers at Honeypaw. He didn't know if she would get the joke but he threw it out there anyway. He just let the younger apprentice step in front of him and he took up the rear. He padded out into the den and into the snow. He just then shook out his white fur trying to stay warm as possible. He just then looked at Foxpaw and said, "Why don't you lead the way."
