I'm not feeling it. [tagged]

Ambrose, here is the thread where Willowbranch gets to yell at Cloudpaw 

Cloudpaw shook out his white coat. He looked around the apprentice den and yawned. As usual there were no apprentices left in the den. He was always the last one and for the past couple of days the apprentice was getting up later and later in the day. The tom just took his time anyway grooming out his thick white pelt. He raked his tongue over his pelt with easy movements. Once he was done grooming he looked out at the entrance, the sun was shining in brightly. He just stood up and stretched his lean limbs that were getting longer everyday. He then easily strode out of the den the sun shining against his bright white pelt. He just closed his bright blue eyes and then opened them again adjusting to the light. He glanced up at the sky, it was sun high. Hm.. Thats a new record. He just thought easily. Before sitting down next to the apprentice den with a yawn spreading across his face. He wasn't planing on moving for the day or going to training but he scanned the area for his mentor just in case they were in camp.

((Eep, sorry! It got buried.))

Willowbranch was having a busy morning.
There had been mix-up with patrols, injuries that had to be referred to the medicine cat, border scuffles, and now, to add to the list, a truant apprentice.
-
Willowbranch trotted into camp from her patrol. It was eventful, to say the least, and she was looking forward to sitting down.
She dragged a medium sized thrush off of the freshkill pile. Thanks to greenleaf, it was spilling with prey; many birds, occasional rabbits, a heap of mice, and a scattering of different prey. Willowbranch was truly delighted, for this meant her clan would prosper over greenleaf. She sat in a shady spot, away from the baking sunshine, across from the apprentice's den. Totally empty; she had assigned mentors to bring every apprentice out to celebrate the fantastic weather. Wait, is there a cat in there? She spotted a large tuft of white fur walking out of the den. She dropped her thrush. "Cloudpaw, can you come here for a second?" Willowbranch asked, her voice faltering with anger.

Cloudpaw wasn't expecting a voice to call him out. He just looked over at where the voice camp from. It came from a shady spot in camp and he realized who was talking to him as soon as he looked over. It was no other than the deputy of Leafclan. Lucky Him. He rather be caught by the deputy than his mentor at this point. He had a feeling he knew what she was going to talk to him about but frankly the white apprentice didn't care all that much. He just blinked his blue eyes at her and nodded before padding on over. He wasn't too worried about getting yelled at because he was quite the trouble maker. He just then approached her and stood there in front of her. Nodding with his head with respect to the deputy he then said, "Greetings Willowbranch." Then he just stood there wondering if he should sit down or not. After a few moments he decided he probably should because it was going to be a long conversation.

Willowbranch scraped her claws off of the ground in an effort to vent her bubbling anger. The apprentice was walking over to her now, so Willowbranch sheathed her claws and sat straighter, wrapping her tail around her paws. She had never had trouble with this cat before; in fact, she had had no troubles with young cats' truancy at all.

Cloudpaw sat before her and his face looked pretty neutral; not cheeky, yet not scared. "Today I asked all of the mentors to bring their apprentices out. I asked them individually." she spoke clearly, her voice deeper than usual. "Pray, tell me; why didn't you go to training?" She tried to believe there was a good reason. He could be... She pondered for a while. There's not a lot of explanations, are there?

[Skiv]

Cloudpaw didn't sugar coat anything. He just blinked at her waiting for the deputy to finish. He just then cleared his throat before saying, "Eh, I really didn't feel like training today." He knew that it wouldn't be the wise answer to tell the deputy but yet here he was telling the deputy he just didn't feel like it. He just then yawned slightly before grooming his long-haired white pelt. He just waited for the deputy to just process that for a few moment. Then once he finished his chest he looked at her with his blue eyes and smiled slightly before saying, "Just tell me my punishment. Come on I'm ready for it." but personally he just wasn't training to disobey someone. He just didn't want to become a warrior, not yet anyway and he was getting older closer and closer to the age of the warriors but he didn't care. He just wasn't ready for Sunstar to give him his warrior name.

Willowbranch dug up dirt with her claws, burying it under them. She cleared her voice, calming down a bit. "Cloudpaw, you don't just drop out of training. We need warriors that are well trained. I know that you're a good warrior; you just need to learn how to use that power of yours." He gave himself a quick grooming, and Willowbranch simply watched him until he looked up at her, smiling an impudent smile. "I'm serious, Cloudpaw. This is not a game." she scolded. She wanted to give him a good, satisfying scratching on the ears. but she knew how she must act as deputy; it didn't come around to every cat. "As for a punishment... You'll be seeing Sunstar and will be monitored to make sure you go to training. If things get worse.. you might not become a warrior." she said sternly. "Come with me; we're going to see Sunstar." The chocolate calico turned and marched off to her leader's den.

Deku, I hope you don't mind being tagged now ^^

Cloudpaw just watched as the deputy seemed to like start on fire from his comment. He just smirked at her like, Hey you wanted an answer so I gave it to you. Then he just then shook his head, the fact was he really didn't want to become a warrior yet. He just couldn't. Cloudpaw knew that the deputy wouldn't understand that neither would the leader. The white apprentice just looked at her and blinked his eyes. He wanted to say something back to that but then he just watched as the deputy marched off towards the leader's den. He just sighed and stood up slowly following the deputy to the leaders den. He really didn't feel like talking to Sunstar, but he had no choice now did he. He talked to a leader before it and to him it wasn't all that bad but this was a little different. The leader wasn't his father. It was Sunstar

Sunstar sat in her den, grooming her golden fur. It didn't take much since it was so short, but she sat there anyways. As she finished she lay down, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her fur. She sighed, beginning to drift off into sleep when a shadow engulfed the sunlight. She looked up with her amber gaze to see a cat padding towards her den. Oh, but this was not just any cat. No, this was her deputy Willowbranch. The golden tabby sat up, smiling softly. "Hello Willowbranch. Do you need something?"

[Ambrose]

The leaves swayed as a cool greenleaf breeze rocked them, carrying a pleasant smell across the camp, sending down a mist of relaxation. Willowbranch padded into Sunstar's den, dipping her head to her leader. Sunstar's golden fur seemed to glow; it was catching the light, much like her name. Willowbranch glanced back at the lazy apprentice, who didn't seem too nervous. If that were me, I'd be terrified! she thought, remembering her apprentice days under Froststar.
Sunstar smiled up at her, saying her greeting and querying what was wrong. "Greetings, Sunstar. I hope you're not too busy." she mewed softly. "Since it was such a nice day, I sent out only a few patrols, and left the mentors and apprentices to train. Cloudpaw here hasn't gone." She motioned with her tail to him.

[Deku]

"No, I'm not too busy."She mewed. Her tail flicked slightly as she listened to her deputy relay what was wrong. She nodded quietly at what she had done, sending out few patrols. The apprentices did need to train, but another apprentice was not training? She looked over to Cloudpaw and sighed. "Another one? There are too many cats in this clan that don't feel like they should help their clan. Willowbranch, would you mind leaving me to talk to Cloudpaw alone? I'm going to assume he's already heard an earful from you correct?" What was she going to do with her clan?

[Ambrose]

Willowbranch could feel growing tension between the apprentice and the leader. She stayed put, listening to her leader's commands. "Another one? There are too many cats in this clan that don't feel like they should help their clan." Sunstar sighed, Willowbranch nodding. "It's a real pity." she agreed. Sunstar ordered her to leave them, and so she did, padding out obediently. She trekked across the clearing, picked up her thrush, and walked back, sitting as far away from the leader's den as possible, but making sure she could hear. What are we going to do about this?

[Skiv]

Cloudpaw just followed Sunstar and Willowbranch into the leaders den. He just looked at the leaders golden pelt. He just then watched as Willowbranch looked at him. He just blinked at her like I did follow you. Don't be so surprised. Then the white tom just didn't say a word. He listened as the deputy and the leader conversed. He just tilted his head slightly at the sound, he wasn't the only one. That actually did surprise him but the tom just thought slightly It seems I have gotten away with it for longer. That just made him want to laugh, but the tom held it in knowing this wasn't the time for it. Thats when he just watched as the leader's gaze landing on him. He just looked at her with his blue eyes. Not backing down. Then he just heard that deputy was asked to leave. He just didn't say anything until Willowbranch left. He just then sat down not waiting for permission to do so. He laid his tail next to his body and just looked at the leader waiting for her to speak.

Sunstar dipped her head gratefully in Willowbranch's direction as she left. Then she turned back to Cloudpaw who had sat down. Why were there so many lazy cats lately? Was it just their mentors or was it her leadership? She shuddered inwardly at the last thought. What if it was her leadership? That would make her a bad leader. She mentally shook those thoughts away. "So Cloudpaw. Would you mind telling me exactly why you weren't out training with your mentor today?" She kind of hoped it was his mentor's fault and not his, but she doubted it.

[Skiv]

Cloudpaw just waited patentlly for the leader to give him punishment. He really didn't want this to last long at all. He just then blinked as Sunstar and said with no guilt in his voice, "I didn't feel like it today." He just then shrugged remembering the real reason he wasn't going. He didn't want to be a warrior, and he knew if he went to training he would be good enough. He just didn't want her to give him his warrior name. He just then blink his blue eyes at the leader trying to read her reaction to his reason.

[Deku]

Sunstar frowned. That hadn't been a response she was expecting. He hadn't felt like it? "You didn't feel like it? You won't be able to become a warrior if you don't train. You know that right Cloudpaw?" Did he even want to become a warrior? Why wouldn't he? Earning a warrior name was probably one of the most important accomplishments in clan life. No, there had to be another reason for "not feeling like it."
