{And sweetest in the gale is heard}

"Ratstar... I'm sorry but I have to find her. I - I will find her."

The leader narrowed her eyes onto Vineheart, watching her retreat from the den, with no shift in her steady expression. With the tabby gone, a silence filled the darkness, consuming Ratstar and her brother. After a moment, her eyes still fixed to where Vineheart had taken her leave, Ratstar felt the tom come up beside her, his own eyes also focused on the mouth of the den. Neither said a word during that pause until, her tone formal and calm, "And what do you think of her?" she asked, in regards to the Deputy. Fallowmist was quiet, and then began to make his slow, silent way toward the entrance.

"I didn't," he answered, voice low. He previously had never given much consideration to the rather plain little tabby... "...but I do now."

He did now.

Ratstar moved her eyes onto Fallowmist as he continued to make his exit. "Fallowmist," she called for his attention, but all she got was a brief hesitation in his steps. "I think you need to not forget the possibility that Wildpaw... may not be able to return. There may not be any finding her." If the she-cat hadn't left by choice, then there was the very real chance that something else had gotten to her. Something fatal.

Fallowmist paused, a quiet surrounding him, until he looked just slightly back over his shoulder, seeing Ratstar only in his peripheral. Voice low, tone dark, the tom responded to his leader with an icy, "And I think you need to not forget who trained her."

And, with that, the tom was gone, just as Ratstar heard Vineheart calling for a patrol in the clearing. She knew she ought to make another appearance, help organize the search... but she would leave that to her Deputy, now.

{And sore must be the storm}

Russetfox's final words sunk into Sandstrike just as he turned to go, and he did not turn back around to see the slimy she-cat skulk off into the forest. He did not--he could not--watch her go. Instead and headed for the freshkill pile, in his haze accidentally brushing against Otterfrost as he passed.

Otterfrost looked down at the young tom, her new apprentice, and a part of her realized that he, too, felt similarly to her about this... silly situation. She smiled just a bit, glad the feelings were mutual, and opened her mouth to give him an answer... only to be interrupted by someone pushing by her and brushing into her shoulder. She caught herself, turning to see who it was, and upon noticing Sandstrike the she-cat furrowed her brow and lost her focus with Otterpaw. "Um," she muttered to him, already turned and ready to follow after the clearly disturbed Sandstrike. She knew his temper, and knew he should not be... unsupervised. "We'll, ah... we'll meet tomorrow around sunhigh, all right? Otterpaw?" she replied at last, glancing briefly back in the younger tom's direction. "Get some rest, I'll find you tomorrow. Congratulations, again." The 'congratulations' was called back over her shoulder, because Otterfrost was already hastily trailing after Sandstrike, anxious about what might have caused his mood.

// Anya, I will make a thread for us once Otterfrost is free :3

Otterpaw blinked as his mentor hastily padded away after Sandstrike.

"...thanks?" the brown tom shrugged turning his yellow gaze towards the apprentices den. Finally. He didn't have to sleep in the same den as his mother.

I should probably go grab a spot before it gets too crowded. Otterpaw bounded into the den and breathed in the new scent. No more milk, no more queens, no more kits -no more nursery.

Nosing around he chose an empty spot near the left corner of the den. Now he just had to fix the nest up. It couldn't be that hard, he had seen the apprentices do it in the nursery multiple times.

Ah, so he had gotten a lucky break. The last thing Tigerwhisker needed was to make a fool of himself in front of some kit who probably already thought she owned the Clan. As she looked up to him, the warrior stared at her coolly, trying to read her expressions. She didn't seem like she was going to challenge him. That was both good and bad. It was bad because he wanted an apprentice with a little fire, but it was also good because he didn't want someone impossible to control. The nuisance seemed okay so far. She just needed to impress him.

As Tigerwhisker had predicted, the apprentice did not question him, but instead lowered her eyes. Whether it was out of fear, respect, or intimidation, or a mix of all three, he did not know, but StarClan did he hope she wasn't one of those pathetic shy cats who were too afraid to kill their prey--to get blood on their paws. "Good," he said, letting up a little on the intimidation factors in his voice. His gaze was still frigid. "You should go make a nest for yourself and get some sleep. I wouldn't want my apprentice to tire too early," he dismissed her, a smirk barely visible on his face. His tail twitched with impatience to get back into warmth. He waited a moment, and then began moving towards the Warriors' den, throwing back over his shoulder, "Maybe it won't be so cold." The weather was likely to be the same--or colder--as it was at that moment, but the warrior himself often preferred mornings. A Tigerwhisker in an okay mood was more likely to be a nicer Tigerwhisker. A nicer Tigerwhisker meant that Ratstar wouldn't be getting any complaints.

If this is where you would like to leave off, then I will make the thread soon. I'm actually looking really forward to this and RPing with you finally.

~Sandpaw~

The sandy kit leaped forward through the camp as he heard the voice of his leader, his soft eyes raising as he listened closely. When he heard Firekit's name, he smiled widely at the thought of his friend gaining his apprenticeship, before he wiggled his tiny haunches as he heard his own name. Sandpaw! That's my new name! Joy rippled through the tom as he bounded through the camp, searching for his mentor, before he saw her. With a wide grin, he reached over and lightly touched his nose to hers, before speaking with his squeak of his voice,"Hey Ashlight!" Sandpaw's voice spoke up, before another small jump at the idea.

~Ravenpaw~

"Thanks, Flamepaw." With a soft purr, she reached over and lightly pressed her nose to his in gratitude, her dark blue eyes glowing as she glanced over at him, until she returned her gaze to Crowtail. The black she-cat smiled,"So, when do we start training, Crowtail?" Her soft voice spoke up to the tom as she stared up at him, her tail twitching in excitement at the thought.

~Hazelrain~

No way. As the siamese she-cat heard her name, her dark blue eyes widened in shock. She was a mentor?! Already could she feel the kits of Weaselsplash in her stomach, though even though it did not show, she was a mentor?! Oh Starclan why! With a hesitant step forward, she searched for her apprentice with wide eyes, a simple flick of her ear as she spotted Tigerpaw. With a few steps forward, Hazelrain lightly touched her nose to her apprentice's, before speaking once more in her melody of a voice,"We shall start training tomorrow, Tigerpaw."

OOC: Hey, no problem! ^.^

Ashlight purred. She felt overjoyed that she had an apprentice. "Hi! So, are you excited about being an apprentice, or what?" She asked, sitting down in front of the apprentice. She couldn't help but hope that Sandpaw was her dream apprentice; eager, fierce, strong and playful.
