` LITTLEFLAME  242 . open it was a lovely day, as most green-leaf days were. the weather was nice, the hunting easy that morning. it was a welcome relief after the hardships that leaf-bare brought. of course, he didn't have much time to relax these days. there was work involved with being deputy, helping starlingstar run the Clan smoothly and efficiently. it was a change, that was for sure. lionwing would have been much better at it. but lionwing wasn't here, he knew that better than anyone, and so he had to carry this burden on his own. some burden it was, though. most cats only dreamed of the opportunity he had been offered.
he took the chance for a break as soon as he saw it, strolling out of camp with a quick jibe at an apprentice to keep his nap short before they slept their apprenticeship away. after a glance behind him, he broke into a sprint, long legs carrying him smoothly across the moors. where he had always lacked in strength, he made up in speed and agility, and it was a quick journey to his destination at the lookout rock.
it was a beautiful view of the territory, and littleflame settled down with a content huff. it was relaxing here, free from annoyances that often plagued him in the clan. not that he didn't love his clanmates, but it certainly could be exhausting around them. this was a welcome break, that was for sure.

Starlingstar
Starlingstar once again let his deputy Littleflame to take care of the patrols and cosmetics of the clan. He stayed in his most of the time these days, out of the heat of greenleaf. It was a good time to be out and hunting with the clan but he was getting older and with the lost of his brother just a few moons ago Starlingstar hadn't been the same. Nightfire was the only family he had cause of his boyish and confident attitude when he was younger wasn't something the she-cats of his time were into. Unlike his brother who had a mate and went places with his life. One would say that Starlingstar went places but now in his eyes he hadn't done anything. He had no one left to lean on but a deputy that he choose but really didn't know. And a Windclan that he had to be the strong one because they trusted him to carry all the weight. It was too much for Starlingstar's old bones.
Thats when looking out of his den he noticed the clearing was quite quiet. He stood up and stretched his long legs his bones weren't stiff anymore but they would be in leafbare. Lucky for him it wasn't. Padding out it was mid day the sunlight was high. Starlingstar just flicked his tail and headed towards the camp entrance. He just looked over and noticed an apprentice wake up from a nap. He narrowed his pale yellow eyes but just turned he would talk to the mentor of that apprentice later. There was no need for slacking greenleaf didn't last long and then there would be snow on the ground.
Moving out of camp was easy he was the tallest cat in the clan. It was something he was known for the Windclan a tall, long legged cat. He had experience on this territory he just padded along his mind going to a blank. He just moved along the slight breeze tugged at his thick fur it shined in the sunlight and his back and ears were getting warm from the sun. Moving along he stopped out by the outlook rock. He smelt the other time right away, it wasn't hard Starlingstar knew his all of his clan mates. It was his deputy Littleflame, he spotted the tom on the rock his light pelt easily blending in.
Moving closer to the other tom Starlingstar just cleared his throat slightly. Not trying to startle his deputy. Then the tall black tom just then padded closer to the rock not getting up there he would let his deputy be up high for once. Starlingstar just then slowly sat down and said, "I see you escaped the clan as well on this fine beautiful day." His voice came out easily and smooth. |

 smalltail had curled up on a patch of grass just outside of the windclan camp. it wasn't intentional, she had sat down outside the camp for some peace and somehow had managed to fall into a deep sleep. the small she-cat lifted her head, her paws neatly folded beneath her body and the nub where her tail should be twitched slightly. with a wide yawn the small warrior pulled herself to her paws with a huff. she needed to stretch her legs, stretch her short legs. smalltail was not only now for her bob tail but for being shorter than most windclan cats - you could say it irritated her, not that she'd ever admit anything negative about herself.
she moved quietly around the camp her mind absent as she wandered thinking of higher beings and the curious intentions of twolegs. until she found herself approaching outlook rock, her eyes widened at the sight of the leader and the deputy. "i certainly didn't expect to see royalty on my morning walk." she purred with clear amusement entwined within her tone. "are you trying to, what was the word you used starlingstar?" she grinned, walking toward the older cats. "escape the clan?" she put on a hurt expression as she approached the pair. "do you really feel the need to escape from us?" she mewed through a pout, sitting down and drawing her paw up to her mouth before dragging it over her ears.
the smaller she-cat titled her head in wait of their reply, the sun highlight her high cheekbones giving her face a pointed look and making her fur shine in its light. smalltail wasn't known for her politeness, toward any cat. she was sharp tongued and sarcastic, eager to make fun at anything that moved, really. no high status in any clan would prevent her from saying the first thing that came to her mind, not that she ever cared or was even embarrassed by it, even when it got her in trouble. so she lazily drew her tongue over her soft fur, pulling away the left over dirt that clung onto her from adventurous sleeping spot.

` LITTLEFLAME
all was quiet, just the wind rustling over the grasses of the moor. the footsteps of an approaching cat were not hard to pick up, and while he internally tensed, he stayed relaxed on the outside. The scent of windclan followed soon after, and littleflame was able to quickly identify his visitor as starlingstar. he didn't move from his position, letting his eyes linger a moment longer on the moors before focusing down on the older tom. before he could reply, though, another scent reached his nose, and his gaze shifted to fall on smalltail. goodness, this was turning into quite the party.
the she-cat soon graced them with an onslaught of words, and his ears twitched slightly before shrugging in response. "escape from some cats in particular, yes." he drawled, shifting a bit to better face the two visitors, "though it seems that that's impossible. annoyances always seem to follow, hm?" he gave her a pointed look, though there was no true malice in his expression.
"so what brings the both of you out here? surely you two are not following me. if i had known i was so desirable then i would surely have used it to my advantage sooner." he gave them a wry smile, though he was sure their reasonings were the same as his own. it was a beautiful day, the sort of day that wasn't to be spent cooped up in camp. so much for getting some time to himself, though. not that he didn't appreciate the company of his leader and the talkative warrior, of course. still, was it so hard to get some time to himself?

Mintfeather
The green-leaf sun warmed the spotted off-white fur as the she-cat slowly padded back towards camp, the springy grass soft underfoot. Hanging from her maw was a sort of pouch made from weaved grass and twigs. Within the pouch was several herbs. The she-cat had created the pouch when the idea sparked in her brain after listening to some Thunderclan apprentice's when they were complaining at how they had had to rebuild one of their dens. Over the scent of herbs, the scent of her fellow clanmates wafted to her on the wind, along with the sound of voices. The snow Bengal she-cat altered her direction slightly so instead of walking past the spot, she would come across the Outlook Rock. The she-cat padded towards them, her footfalls as soft as they had been when she first got her warrior name, even with her slight limp and the awkward way she walked with the pouch trying to trip her. She came upon the three cats and she maneuvered her pouch from her mouth to under her chin so she could speak. "Is there some sort of secret meeting going on?" Mintfeather asked, purring. Her silvery green eyes sparkled as she glanced from Littleflame to Starlingstar and finally to Smalltail. "Or are the two toms ganging up on the poor defenseless she-cat?" She joked easily, having not heard what the three cats had been speaking of just moments before. Windclan's medicine cat padded closer to her leader before setting the pouch down and looking at them again. Her pale gaze rested on the tall black tom near her. "It's good to see you out and about Starlingstar." Mintfeather purred happily. Words || 289 OOC || She just has to interrupt. xD Plus I like putting word amount. It helps me to make bigger posts next time. Tagged || momo || Edda Rose || Kuwaki |

Gingerstep's ears pricked at the sound of other cats by the outlook rock. She had woken up pretty early and had went out for a quick successful hunt around the moors. It was a good morning start, and it seems that the beautiful day is promising an even better one. The morning sun warmed up her ginger pelt, alighting the moor with its radiant light. Gingerstep had never felt more like home. Although she wasn't the type to sit around and chat with other cats throughout the day, she walked towards the outlook rock anyways, a rabbit swinging from her jaws.
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the clan leader and the deputy. Even from a distance, Windclan cats were able to spot distant prey or other cats. It's their good eyesight. She increased her pace a little, until she reached the bottom of the rock. "Hullo." She mumbled, throughout a mouth-full of rabbit, looking around. Mintfeather and Smalltail were also there. She placed the rabbit on the ground, and sat down looking up on the rock. "There seems to be a lot of cats gathering here today. Any special occasion?" She added jokingly.

StarlingstarStarlingstar finally started to relax slightly. His deputy didn't seem to mind that the old leader came and joined him. But that was all about to change. Because a cat who he pretty much just gave her a warrior name came up with her annoying and disrespecting attitude. With every word that poured out of her mouth Starlingstar was fuming. He wanted to stretch his legs and patrol his own territory and these new warriors seemed to not have respect. He saw it with some of the new apprentices he had just named some in there were trouble makers too just like this warrior. He needed to put her in his place and he was going to disrupt her and he did with a low growl. His yellow gaze snapped on her and was fuming. He didn't say anything as he stared her down his was seriously thinking about making here an apprentice for longer but that wouldn't help. He just heard Littleflame say some things that he agreed with but then again those saying were pointed at him as well. He just then flattened his ears. He was done with this. Thats when before he could get his chirp in the medicine cat came over. She was nice an sweet and Starlingstar actually enjoyed her company but at the same time he just hear her comment about two toms bullying on Smalltail. He just rolled his eyes and stood up shaking out his fur. He just then said, "I actually was going out and patrolling my territory thank you and I figured taking a break wouldn't hurt." Then looked at Smalltail and was about to say something to her when Gingerstep came up with a rabbit. At least one of my warriors does their job Thats when he just looked at smalltail and said, "You seem to have a big mouth that doesn't know when to stay closed. But I have the perfect solution. Mintfeather why don't you have Smalltail carry those herbs back to camp for you." Then he just flicked his tail and said in a lower voice, "And thats an order. But of course thats only when Mintfeather is ready to head back to camp."He just then looked at Littleflame and said, "You know if you are going to leave camp make sure you give these eager warriors more duties so they stay occupied while you get your alone time." Looking back at Mintfeather he dipped his head and said "Yes, I know the death of my kin has changed me so. But some fresh air has done me some good." Then he just flicked his tail slightly back and forth. |

the small she-cat purred in amusement as littleflame spoke, "escape from some cats in particular, yes. though it seems that that's impossible. annoyances always seem to follow, hm?" smalltail tilted her head with a smirk. "oh, littleflame. you wound me so. anyone would think you found me annoying." she laughed softly. "littleflame, your beautiful orange pelt is something i'm drawn to," she drawled with a grin. "but really, i was just out for a stroll before i'm put on patrols." smalltail was known for her lack of a filter, though nothing she said was of ill intent, she often received backlash for her cocky words. this was one of those times. smalltail looked at starlingstar with amusement written all over her face as mintfeather approached.
"Or are the two toms ganging up on the poor defenseless she-cat?" smalltail grinned, "oh mintfeather. you've come to my rescue as always." she purred softly, her eyes softening at the sight of the medicine cat. no matter who you were, smalltail didn't believe you could use a harsh tongue when speaking to mintfeather. the cat was far to nice to be the butt of her jokes, but the deputy and the leader, in her eyes, those two needed a bit of comedy in their life. "You seem to have a big mouth that doesn't know when to stay closed. But I have the perfect solution. Mintfeather why don't you have Smalltail carry those herbs back to camp for you. And thats an order. But of course thats only when Mintfeather is ready to head back to camp." smalltail rolled her eyes at starlingstars words. "always so serious, sir." she mewed lazily, her confidence stature unchanging even under her leaders cold stare. "of course i'll help mintfeather. she always was my favourite medicine cat out of all the clans." she purred, tossing a grin toward the taller she-cat.
"but this big mouth of mine, sir. i mean no offense, you know i'm quite the joker. i hold utmost respect for you." she mewed seriously, her eyes locked onto her leaders as she spoke, her chin lifted confidently. "i may have a difference sense of humor to you, but your moons of wisdom and service to windclan is something i admire, and even if i don't show respect for you as the older warriors do it is my duty to serve. i fear my humor makes you doubt how serious i take being a warrior." she mewed lowly. smalltail wasn't about to let starlingstar believe she was throwing away time with laziness, that's just not who she was. as much of a comedian as she saw herself, smalltail was a loyal and serious warrior when the time called for it.
turning her head to gingerstep with a bright smile, "good morning, gingerstep!" she purred cheerfully, her tone changing immediately as she addressed the other warrior. "good catch." she looked at the rabbit appreciatively even though her stomach didn't ache for food. "the special occasion is me teasing our leader and deputy. not that they appreciate my love." she mewed dramatically, throwing a dramatic longing glance a littleflame. smalltail was determined to brighten the faces of littleflame and starlingstar, they looked far too grumpy for her liking. though, she could see littleflames eyes lighting up easier than starlingstar.

Mintfeather
Mintfeather looked up at the arrival of Gingerstep. She purred her pleasure at seeing so many of her clan taking advantage of the good weather. "Good catch Gingerstep." The medicine cat praised the warrior upon seeing the rabbit. She felt a small pang of sadness because she wasn't able to hunt anymore, but she was used to the feeling. She had also learned that it wasn't good to bottle up one's feelings, so she let herself feel the emotion before letting it pass after a moment. She brought her attention back to the cats around her when Smalltail spoke to her. "oh mintfeather. you've come to my rescue as always." Mintfeather smiled fondly in return. "I'm always happy to help."The spotted she-cat noticed Starlingstar roll his eye at her comment and it made her chuckle quietly. She listened to him talk with Smalltail. The two just seemed to butt heads and it amused her. Suddenly he said "mintfeather why don't you have smalltail carry those herbs back to camp for you." Then the dark tom added in a quieter tone. "and that's an order. but of course that's only when mintfeather is ready to head back to camp." Mintfeather stretched herself before speaking. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. Perhaps Smalltail would like to make a second trip with me. She can even do some hunting on the way back from the second trip if she would like." The medicine she-cat purred at the smaller she-cat's answer. "of course i'll help mintfeather. she always was my favorite medicine cat out of all the clans." Pale green eyes blinked and Mintfeather laughed. "Oh Smalltail. I'm your favorite medicine cat only because I'm in your clan." She said shyly and playfully tapped the other she-cat on the nose with her tail. Her silvery green gaze moved back to Starlingstar and they softened as he answered her. "yes, i know the death of my kin has changed me so. but some fresh air has done me some good." She set her tail tip onto the taller tom's shoulder comfortingly. "Just remember Starlingstar, if you ever need someone to listen, I'll be there. All you have to do is ask." Her soft voice became quieter when she said that.

` LITTLEFLAME "is there some sort of secret meeting going on?"
littleflame's ears flicked at the arrival of mintfeather, and he was starting to truly believe that this had been prearranged. was the entire clan about to find their way to them? perhaps he should have simply stayed in camp, since it seemed that everyone else was out here. "i believe so." he meowed, dipping his head in greeting towards the medicine cat, "i'm afraid you weren't invited." his attention once again was caught by the arrival of yet another windclan warrior, gingerstep this time. "we have decided to move the camp." he then responded dryly to the other's mention of a special occasion, "since everyone seems to enjoy this rock so much." he wasn't serious, of course, but goodness, he had come out here for some quiet, not to be ambushed.
smalltail's joking was, at least, a relief, and he scoffed at her mention of his pelt. "i'm sorry to hear that." he meowed in return, amusement gleaming in his eye despite his calm composure, "you'll have to find another orange cat to fawn over. perhaps one with a mouth as big as yours." he watched in silence as starlingstar started his scoldings, littleflame feeling a bit smug as smalltail was ordered to help mintfeather with her herbs. that would keep her mouth shut.
"you know if you are going to leave camp make sure you give these eager warriors more duties so they stay occupied while you get your alone time."
starlingstar's scoldings shifted to him in that moment, and he cooly gazed back at the tom. "forgive me." he said, hiding his irritation, "I suppose i was under the impression that our warriors knew their responsibilities. i'll make sure to fix that." he knew it wasn't unreasonable to have the blame for irresponsible warriors placed on his shoulders, but at the same time, was starlingstar not their leader? should he not also be designating tasks? he wouldn't voice these concerns, though, instead keeping quiet. besides, he knew the other had not been feeling the best. littleflame could certainly relate to the loss of a brother, more than he wished to care to admit.
"mm, perhaps you should go hunting after you help mintfeather with herbs. to prove your love and all." he then meowed good-naturedly with a squint at smalltail, "I'm sure gingerstep can show you how to be a quiet hunter."

Gingerstep Gingerstep flushed with pride from the praise of her clan mates, as she watched the other cats exchange words with each other. She unconsciously flicked her eyes towards Starlingstar's direction before flicking them back towards Smalltail, hoping she might get some compliment out of him too. "Good morning Smalltail." She meowed, her voice sounding brisk. Maybe slightly disappointed. She really wished she could impress Starlingstar at some point. Smalltail rambled on, laughing along with Mintfeather. A serious cat she is, she didn't really find anything funny about Smalltail's word.
She didn't say anything else after that, preferring to watch Smalltail bicker around with Starlingstar and dramatically bring herself to Mintfeather's paws. She knew it was her cue to answer, when Littleflame directed his words to her. About Smalltail. And hunting. "Sure." She said, jumping to attention. Her mood plummeted, at the thought of going to spend the rest of her day hunting with a talkactive warrior by the moors, her voice sounding slightly cold but she quickly shook the thoughts away. She didn't want to give in to her mood, yet. "I can bring this rabbit back to camp, and after the herbs are sorted out, and then we can go hunting Smalltail."

StarlingstarHe turned away from Mintfeather and his eyes landed on Smalltail once again. Her mouth was loud and crisp. But there was a time to use it and a time to keep it quiet. Hopefully giving her an apprentice would help with this. Which he had planned to do. With so little warriors and a surplus of apprentices. He just looked at Smalltail he knew all of his warriors quite well even though they may not seem to realize how much he does. Starlingstar just looked at her and just shook his head, she seemed not ready for the apprentice she was about to give her. And considering who he was thinking of he didn't want to do that either but out of all the young cats becoming apprentices they were the best match. He hoped that having a responsibility to be a role model. But she just kept it coming and he just grumbled under his breath. He tuned her out because he was stick of her talking. This was a skill he was very good at because being a leader he need to focus on his own thoughts over others sometimes. There was a reason Starclan choose him to do this and he knew that had to follow his gut. But this was a moment he took advantage of this skill to save his own brain. He just then clicked back on when Mintfeather agreed to the idea it was good. He just then dipped his head at her offer. "Thank you Mintfeather." Then thats when the blue gaze of Littleflame landed on him. Starlingstar knew that his words irritated the tom but he honestly didn't care. Cause he was being honest. Starlingstar just nodded but he knew that this tom wouldn't have to do that soon because this was better time than ever to announce that all of them were receiving apprentices. Starlingstar knew that this would be a surprise to Littleflame but of course Starlingstar decided these on his own. But thats when his deputy decided to take upon himself to give the two warriors something else to do. He just nodded and sat down curling his tail around his paws. Clearing his throat he called attention to himself. Now or never, he guessed blinking his eyes he waited as all the cats were focused on him. |

her tail twitched slightly from its position behind her, her dainty paws placed lightly on the earth as she let out a purr of fondness directed at the quiet medicine cat. "you'll have to find another orange cat to fawn over. perhaps one with a mouth as big as yours." smalltail let out a mock pout, her eyes going big as she looked over to littleflame with a longing gaze, "it'll always be you, my love." she drawled lazily before looking at gingerstep, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at her. she could almost feel the dislike coming off of the she-cat in waves, not everyone was fond of smalltail and her humour, not that it bothered her hugely. "mm, perhaps you should go hunting after you help mintfeather with herbs. to prove your love and all. I'm sure gingerstep can show you how to be a quiet hunter." smalltail let out a snort of amusement, ignoring starlingstars words of thanks to mintfeather as he did hers with a simple flick of her tail. "oh littleflame, you should know how much i love you without me having to prove it." she mewed wistfully, her ears perked as she listened for sound behind her in case more cats joined them. "but i am a perfectly silent hunter, i'll have you know. otherwise i'd still be smallpaw, eh?" she grinned brightly. "you'll have plenty of time to return that rabbit if i'm helping mintfeather get another batch of herbs." she mewed softly at gingerstep, she wasn't about to start an argument or infuriate the cat who clearly held no fondness for her.

Mintfeather
 ![]() "i believe so." Littleflame meowed, dipping his head in greeting towards the medicine cat, "i'm afraid you weren't invited." Mintfeather dipped her head back to the deputy. "we have decided to move the camp. since everyone seems to enjoy this rock so much." The tom's reply was dry and the snow bengal she-cat felt guilty. The deputy must have come here to get some peace and yet no one was giving it to him. She felt a little better when she noticed that Smalltail seemed to lift his spirits with some good natured flirting. Starlingstar ended up making the tom unhappy again and she sighed. Littleflame did deserve some time to himself after everything he did for the clan. At least he got along well with Smalltail. Not a lot of warriors did, from what Mintfeather had observed. She listened quietly as the cats around her made plans, and her gaze flitted back over to their leader. He seemed to have something on his mind, but it wasn't of his deceased brother. the black tom then sat down and cleared his throat, waiting for everyone's attention to be on him. The spotted and striped she-cat wasn't sure if it involved her as well, but she settled down to listen. She might as well listen in case it did involve her.
While waiting for the other cats to change their focus to their leader, she let herself listen to Smalltail. The black and ginger she-cat was talking about being a silent hunter and Mintfeather sighed quietly. She missed hunting. She had been silent and soft on her paws, which was how she gained her warrior name of Mintfeather. She missed those days, but now she was helping the clan in a totally different way, but it was an equally important way. The off-white she-cat switched her attention from Smalltail's voice, back over to Starlingstar as he waited patiently. Words || 329 Ooc || hmm, she didn't talk this time. She's resorting back to her quiet self. x3 Tagged || momo || Edda Rose || Kuwaki || Yuno |

` LITTLEFLAME gingerstep's no-nonsense attitude was almost more amusing than smalltail's antics, and he certainly didn't regret assigning the two she-cats to work together for the day. if anything, it was a shame he couldn't watch their interactions, since he was sure it would be interesting. he knew, of course, that it wasn't the smartest choice; typically, it would make more sense to send cats out that got along to hunt together. but littleflame didn't care for what would make sense. instead, it was what was most interesting. it was like a game, seeing the way different warriors worked together. and it was a game he liked. besides, perhaps they would find some surprising combinations that may otherwise have been overlooked.
"i'm sure you'll live, gingerstep." he chided the other softly, certainly not missing her disappointment, "or perhaps you'll get your ear talked off. either way, it could be worse." his gaze shifted to smalltail, rolling his eyes but cracking an amused smile at her response. "sorry, darling. actions speak louder than words. and perhaps you talk the prey to death, hm? they find relief in your bite rather than listening to you jabber." of course, he didn't doubt the other's ability to hunt. she was right, after all; she would still be an apprentice if she hadn't learned to control herself.
he was preparing to throw another jibe at smalltail when he heard starlingstar clear his throat, and his attention was quickly caught by the older warrior. what could he have to say? he couldn't recall the pair talking about anything in private that would need to be repeated to these cats, and his brow furrowed just a bit as he tried to figure out that starlingstar's news was.
