"Thanks," Kestrelpaw kept herself from blushing as she grinned from the compliment. "You look...really nice, too." the somali twitched her whiskers, making a mental note to make her crown a part of her nest in the apprentices den.

Birchpaw glanced up at the slowly darkening sky, he didn't really want the day to end yet, but they had training tomorrow, perhaps they could just walk back slowly. Perhaps when they got back everyone else would be asleep so he would be able to sneak the crown into his nest without anybody asking embarrassing questions.

"Should we walk back to Camp together?" He asked, "We can remember where this place is and come back another time."

"Yeah, that sounds good to me," the older apprentice nodded, and started walking, but not without taking one last look at the meadow.

"It really is beautiful here," she commented.

Birchpaw nodded in agreement, "I suppose other Moonclan Cats must have come here in their time though," he wasn't sure if this was the one Russetmoon had been talking about or not, but still, a place as nice as this had probably been used for various reasons.
With the crown still balanced on his head, Birchpaw moved towards the bushes, hoping to find a route that wouldn't dislodge his crown or damage it as he slipped through.

((various reasons lol))


Kestrelpaw followed her friend at a steady pace, her own crown neatly fitted over one of her ears. "You're probably right..." she muttered quietly. "Say, Birchpaw?" she asked, slightly louder so the brown tom would hear her. "Do you think maybe we can come back to this place sometime?"

((-Giggles- I actually thought that just after I sent it and went bright red ;^_^))

"S-Sure," his smile stammered a little from nerves, but he liked the idea of another promise being made between the two of them, promises of future events held them together, and he was worried that if that thread snapped then they'd slowly drift apart.
"I-I like making plans with you" he stammered out before he could stop himself, "you know, the flower crowns... now this," he laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, that probably sounded really weird."

((ehehe if they become mates i know where they'll be found 75% of the time))

"No, no it didn't!" Kestrelpaw waved her tail as if dismissing the awkward feeling in the air. "I know what you mean...I...I like it too." The somali blushed, turning away from her friend. Perhaps they would be able to make plans like this forever? Even when they were warriors, or even Elders?

((-Muffles giggles with hands-))

"Well then," he smiled happily, "I'll walk you back then," he dipped his head, "May I escort you back?" He gave her a look now with a slight air of humor in it, "I expect we'll have to pave our way through the bushes if we don't want the flowers to get ruined on the way back," he glanced over at one of the bushes, heading over to try and clear a big enough path with his paw, "seems like it'll be a risky treck back."

Kestrelpaw burst into a fit of giggles at Birchpaw's politeness. It was so unlike him to be humorous, but it was a side of him that Kestrelpaw enjoyed. "Yes, please do escort me back, I may snag a claw if I go on my own."

"Well we can't have that can we" Birchpaw laughed, satisfied that he'd cleared an opening big enough for them to fit through as he ducked his head and carefully made his way through, pulling back to give Kestrelpaw the space to follow, his crown still intact.

"Most definitely not. How would I live if such a thing were to occur?" She spoke in a fake voice, an official-sounding voice, and giggled to herself. She followed through the space Birchpaw allowed her, carefully making sure her flower crown wouldn't be knocked off of her head.

Once they'd cleared the bushes surrounding the clearing, the rest of the walk seemed relatively easy, although there were still bushes and low lying branches they were more easily avoidable.
"Hey you're eleven moons now right aren't you?"
He forgot sometimes that Kestrelpaw was so close to being a Warrior, whereas he still had around three moons of training still to do, "you'll have to tell me what it's like when you get your name, what do you think it's going to be?"

PatchyFallenstar In reply to sparkeythehamster [2014-08-02 18:44:28 +0000 UTC]

"Yeah, I am," Kestrelpaw confirmed, feeling the warmth of excitement bubble up in her chest again. She was so excited, she'd been talking with Mosspaw and Saplingpaw about it every night as of late.

She felt like she still had loads more to learn, but as she'd heard from the older warriors, everyone feels like that. 'You never stop learning', they told her.

"Hmm," she hummed, thinking about her Warrior name. "You know...I don't really care too much. Because whatever it is, I'm sure I'm going to love it!" she purred. "What do you think it will be?"

sparkeythehamster In reply to PatchyFallenstar [2014-08-05 15:07:14 +0000 UTC]

"Oh I..." Birchpaw stumbled, not having expected her to ask him a question back, he'd just assumed that the older Apprentices just knew what they wanted their names to be.
"What about... Kestrelbeak" he let out in a flurry, then flushed realising how stupid that sounded, he couldn't leave it on there, even Kestrelfur would have been a better thing to say, "...Or..." he searched around desperately for another, panicking that she'd think he was insulting her in some way, "Kestrelbreeze? It sort of makes sense, you're a good hunter and 'silent as the breeze' and all that." It still wasn't spectacular, but it was certainly better than Kestrelbeak.

He'd been putting a bit of thought into his own name, but the best he'd come up with was Birchcloud, his reasoning purely based on that he liked clouds.

Kestrelpaw couldn't contain her laughter at Birchpaw's suggestions. Thinking they were all in good fun, she nodded as she giggled, swiping her tongue over her nose. "Kestrelbeak is pretty good. I do kind of have that sort of muzzle," she shook out her fur, indicating she was joking. "I just hope Fallenstar doesn't give me a name like Kestrelfall. Like...it's a pretty good name for some cats, like Nightfall's was..." she frowned slightly, the black-furred she-cat was with StarClan now. "Or Applefall. But I think, paired with Kestrel, it just sounds like the bird has fallen out of the sky."

She flexed her claws unconsciously as she walked. StarClan forbid the tabby leader give her a name like that! "I don't want a name to symbolize something falling," she explained. "I want a name more like...representing flying, you know? Like...I can take on anything. Get back up if I'm knocked down. Soar higher than everyone else!"

The determination in her eyes burned before she gave a small huff, turning to face Birchpaw again. "Well...except you of course. I bet you'll rise right along with me, like a big birch tree." She giggled at her own analogy.

sparkeythehamster In reply to PatchyFallenstar [2014-08-06 10:01:29 +0000 UTC]

Birchpaw laughed lightly with her, glad that she hadn't taken any of his terrible names to heart, "Yeah, a name like 'Fall' sounds a bit like bad luck too" he admitted, "it sounds a bit like it's someone sending you some cruel meaningful message," he shivered, he was glad that she didn't like the name, he much preferred the idea she presented to him.
"Well I'm sure if Fallenstar knows what he's doing he'll name you something like that, it fits you really well, I don't think I've ever seen you down," it was true, of course he'd seen her upset occasionally, but nothing that actually made him feel like she was depressed.

In a way that was why he liked her, she-cats and even some toms always seemed to have these ups and downs where they got so upset over the littlest of things, but Kestrelpaw was strong and durable, she could see through the worst of times with a grin on her face, there was something to be admired in that.

He stood up to his full height, trying to look as much like a tree as he could, which he felt he could pull off with his dark brown pelt, "I'll be there like a tree, so if you ever do feel like falling you can rest on my branches."

PatchyFallenstar In reply to sparkeythehamster [2014-08-09 19:12:43 +0000 UTC]

Kestrelpaw smiled, glad that Birchpaw understood where she was coming from. "You think so?" She knew that if she became too worried about it, she could tell Timidbreeze to make sure that Fallenstar gave her a good warrior name. Timidbreeze would do that for her. The tuxedo was practically Kestrelpaw's older sister.

Kestrelpaw grinned further as Birchpaw straightened up. He was growing up fast; he was almost as tall as Kestrelpaw, albeit a moon or two younger. Surely one day he would be taller than even she was, and for a moment Kestrelpaw wondered if they'd remain friends for that long. She shook her head subtly, of course they would. Birchpaw was her best friend.

A purr rumbled from her throat, and she nudged Birchpaw lightly with her shoulder as they walked, her flower crown slipping a tiny bit forward, but she caught it in time, tilting her head back to move it back into place. "That sounds nice," she commented, glad to know that the tom would always be there to support her. "Maybe I'll make my home in those branches, so I'll always come back to you..." she mewed quietly, unsure if Birchpaw would hear.

Birchpaw's cheeks coloured, he wasn't sure if he'd heard her correctly, but he hoped he had. Nudging his head over he helped her to get her flower crown back in place.
He purred happily, as they continued to head back in the direction of Camp, he knew where they were now and the trees and undergrowth should open up a little so that it was easier to get through without anything snatching their flower crowns from them.

"Today was fun" he told her, "It's nice to have a day like this every now and then between training." The two of them were working hard to become Warriors, she would become one before him, but he vowed that he would join her soon as a full Warrior of Moonclan.

"I agree," The older apprentice hummed happily, glad that her flower crown was now securely on her head. She glanced over at Birchpaw's, making sure she'd used enough sap to hold it together. It seemed pretty stable, maybe losing a petal or two off of the flowers, but otherwise it held together nicely.

She could see the camp entrance up ahead. "We should do this again sometime," she mewed rather quickly, not really wanting the day to end just yet.

sparkeythehamster In reply to PatchyFallenstar [2014-08-09 20:35:55 +0000 UTC]

Birchpaw nodded, smiling lightly, "we shouldn't leave it so long next time, hopefully we'll have some more time in the future, I'm due to start battle training soon, which would suggest my hunting is at the very least passable, that means we're both edging closer."
Kestrelpaw had started battle training a while ago, he'd overheard his father saying, he wondered what sort of moves she'd been taught.

He ducked under the Fallen Tree into the Camp, waiting on the other side for her to join him.

PatchyFallenstar In reply to sparkeythehamster [2014-08-09 20:43:52 +0000 UTC]

Kestrelpaw nodded, remembering that there were other duties she would need to tend to. Battle training wasn't used as much as hunting, but it was five times as important. To not be well versed in battling... It could cost you your life, she remembered Hazefire saying, whereas hunting would cost you your dinner. She shuddered with the thought. The Warrior's Code said not to kill unless you really had to, but it seemed a lot of warriors were forgetting that nowadays.

Kestrelpaw ducked underneath the tree as well, it's intertwining branches making the perfect overhead entrance to the MoonClan camp. Birchpaw was waiting for her on the other side, and she realized she hadn't really responded to his last statement.

"Oh, maybe we should train together sometime," she suggested.

sparkeythehamster In reply to PatchyFallenstar [2014-08-09 20:46:09 +0000 UTC]

"I'd like that" Birchpaw agreed, "Perhaps I should learn a bit more first, you still seem so many moons ahead of me, sometimes I worry if I'll ever catch up," he laughed, he doubted he'd ever be as a good a hunter as she was, but he was feeling pretty confident with battle training - it required a lot of work, but he was sure if he put some effort in here and there it would probably pay off.

"We'd probably hunt quite well together" he went on, motioning with his tail to their similar coloured pelts, "this is probably ideal Moonclan colouring."

PatchyFallenstar In reply to sparkeythehamster [2014-08-09 21:02:48 +0000 UTC]

"It's kind of an unfair advantage, I guess," Kestrelpaw laughed, but she understood. She could wait. She wanted to get better at her own battling skills anyhow.

Kestrelpaw looked between their pelts. "Oh, that's true! We'd be quite the pair. Probably the best in MoonClan," she giggled.

"My paws are just very heavy," he demonstrated for her, lifting up his paws in an over-exaggerated motion and bringing them down again in much the same fashion, so they made a dull thump on the ground.
Remembering that they should probably be quiet as most of the Camp seemed to be settling down for the night, he glanced around guiltily, softening his steps again.

PatchyFallenstar In reply to sparkeythehamster [2014-08-09 21:16:43 +0000 UTC]

Kestrelpaw laughed. "That's okay...I'm loud too, just...not in my feet," she explained, embarrassed that her own outbursts and exclamations were the downfalls of many of her unsuccessful hunts.

The camp did seem to be quieting down for the night, so she lowered her voice, a bit cautiously. "It's okay though. We'd still be pretty good together."

"Yeah we would..." He let his amber gaze meet hers for a few moments where it lingered, before he gave a yawn and a stretch, breaking the contact, "I'm getting tired, I'm going to get some sleep, you coming or are you staying out a bit longer?" He waited by the entrance to the Apprentice Den for her answer, taking the time to check inside to make sure everyone was asleep so they wouldn't tease him for the flower crown he still had balanced on his head, hopefully he'd be able to hide it in his nest.

"Umm, I think I'll stay out a bit longer," Kestrelpaw shrugged, spotting her brother Saplingpaw near the Medicine Cat Den. Suddenly remembering she was really hungry, she thought she could split something with the tabby.

She flicked her tail nonchalantly, "You go on ahead," she purred, her eyes light.

"Right, good night," he reached forwards nervously and perhaps a little too quickly, licking her cheek, before fleeing to his nest, removing the flower crown carefully and setting it down in his nest, performing a couple of circles to get himself comfortable before resting his head down on his paws and closing his eyes.

"G-good night," Kestrelpaw mumbled after he had already disappeared, her face bright red. Had he just--? For a second, Kestrelpaw was confused, Birchpaw was her best friend, but could he feel for her in the way she felt for him? Could it be true?

Getting to shaky paws, she moved trance-like over to the fresh-kill pile before selecting a squirrel. She brought it to where her brother was sitting, who raised his furry eyebrows in an expression of what only could be described as a silent 'uh-huh get it girl'.

"Oooooh," her brother grinned, "a blooming romance for my dearest sister? Could it be so?"

"Shut up!" Kestrelpaw laughed, dropping the squirrel in front of the bobtail, shoving his shoulder with a paw playfully. She blushed, which only caused Saplingpaw to talk about it further, but Kestrelpaw had all but toned the golden tabby out. Her heart was still racing, and a smile lingered on her mouth.

When Saplingpaw commented on this, she buried her face into the squirrel embarrassedly. Was it...that she loved Birchpaw?
