Rowancloud had just finished eating, and gotten to her paws when Hawkclaw burst into camp. She narrowed her eyes, wondering what he was up to. She shook her head, and slipped out another way, hoping to avoid an altercation with him, unaware of the danger in the forest.

"What reason do we have for hurting you?", asked Frost, stepping forward.

He was about to turn around and walk off, but he was curious to know where she was going. He quietly followed her, making sure he was downwind of her.

ooc: Sunfeather is Icepaw's mentor :)

ic: "That sounds like a great idea", she smiled, "If Icecrystal isn't up, do you mind taking Lotuspaw out also. I don't want her to get behind", she added, thinking of the two youngest clan members.

Sounds like a great idea!

Rapidpaw yawned, stretching, "Fallensnow? What's going on?", he asked, glancing at Icepaw who had scrambled out of the den, "Is there a fight?" He nudged his sister, who rolled over, but didn't wake. He prodded her with his paw, and with a grumble, she opened her eyes and glared at him.

Silverstar made her way over to the fresh-kill pile, where she picked out a mouse, then went to a shaded spot in camp, and flopped down.

Rapidpaw jumped to his paws, "We get to learn how to fish or swim?", he asked, tilting his head to the side, eager to do both.

Lotuspaw climbed to her feet a little slower, and followed Rapidpaw as he led the way out of camp.

Rowancloud tilted her head, hearing yowling in the distance. Turning around, she made her way back to camp, crawling through the way she had exited. She snarled at the nearest cat, a black she-cat she recognized from a gathering. The black she-cat turned around and moved toward Rowancloud, claws unsheathed.

Talon heard the crunch of leaves, and glanced behind him. He scented the wind catching a faint scent of a she-cat.

"Good morning", she meowed, glancing at the she-cat. She dipped her head toward Fallensnow, "He is taking Rapidpaw and Lotuspaw out", she meowed indicating the two toms and the she-cat.

Lotuspaw spotted her mentor and waved her tail in greeting.

Rowancloud nodded, and raced toward the den where the elders, queens, and kits were. She pounced on the smallest of the toms, probably an apprentice. Giving him a quick rake of her claws down his side and a nip to the ear, she had him running out of camp. She didn't blame him for running and it gave her less toms to fight.

Lotuspaw paused, close to the entrance of camp, "That sounds like fun!", she meowed, waiting for Fallensnow to show them how.

Lotuspaw nodded her head at Icecrystal, "I'm ready!"

Silverstar watched Icecrystal leave with a slightly amused expression. Sometimes she thought her warriors treated her like a kit, but she knew it was because they cared. The one thing she feared was that the clan had no medicine cat.

Rapidpaw tilted his head, "Because... because...", he glanced at his sister, who was deep in thought.

"Your paw that you splashed was a distraction, and you got it to go the way you wanted?", she asked.

She glanced at Hawkclaw, grateful for his interference. It had seemed like the tom had just knocked her off balance, but she thought he also had twisted her paw in the push. She struggled to pull herself to her paws, and hissed.

Rapidpaw whined, "But I don't know"

"Well, you better guess anyway", Lotuspaw huffed, "I want to learn to fish"

He shot her a look, and sighed, "Ok, maybe if the fish... or cat... turns around, they won't be suspecting the other paw to be there, but I don't get it... won't the cat know the other paw is there?"
