Twinklepaw could swear up and down to the stars that as the weather threatened to grow colder so did their clanmates. She can understand that resources that are once deemed as bountiful in warmer climates tend to dwindle in the colder seasons. Leaf bare was right around the corner seemed to be a common phrase used once it was no longer Green leaf. She didn’t really get it, because Leaf-fall had only just begun if the leaves in the trees were any good indication. The warriors started to become serious a little too early in her humble opinion.

Maybe once the river grew colder she would believe the steely warnings given by her elders. For now the water was pleasant, still carrying some warmth from the sun's rays. She sat by the edge of the riverbank, peering over at the steadily flowing water, a hunters perch but not for actual prey. Taking an interest at the reflection of the water, how warped mirrors of reeds danced between the currents consistently shifting form. The glimmer of the water itself that graced her eyes as the sun shone unimpeded by a barricade of clouds, a sight she will grow to miss when the days turn extra dreary.

Of course her own reflection danced in those currents, she tried to not be a creature of vanity so her gaze didn’t linger. What was of interest was the presence of another cat approaching, shadow cast along the ground. Threatening to touch the water but not quite there yet. Whatever is said to her goes unheard as Twinklepaw becomes aware of a fun opportunity. “Oh hey, you got a little something there” she turned her head to smile pleasantly at her clanmate.

A blue tinged paw creeps towards the river's waters, only to deftly strike, splashing the cat beside her with a trill of laughter. Wherever the spray of water lands on it's target or not she will face them properly, tail sweeping across the ground. “Hmm well! It’s gone now at least” there’s a lack of malice in her words, just a mischievous grin.

The cool mornings and dips in temperature were indicative to him that the thing they called 'leafbare' was approaching. What trees the territory did have were dropping their leaves, his eyes focusing on their wild color each time Salmonshade took him on patrol. Horizonpaw found it was.. wonderful, really- he was perhaps in love with the idea of leaffall, the first time he had ever encountered it. Today, though, he was approaching his sibling on the bank of the river.

Horizonpaw speaks up as he approaches, not wanting to spook them. "Hey, Twinklepaw. You had enough sleep last night?" He questions, his voice soft- one of the rare times he speaks first, reserved to that of his family and his siblings. Green eyes blinked as she turns, and he tries to approach the water to see what's on his face. Was it a speck of blood from the fish he had just had a part of?

He should have known better- should've known that Twinklepaw was likely to do this, yet a small squeak left him as he went rigid, sun-warmed water splattering his front from where he staggered backwards. Green eyes slid open, blinking away water as he turned to face his sibling in full. "Twinklepaw!" He cried, indignant but not upset. He stared at her for a long moment, then when the giggle broke free from his mouth, he leapt at her, attempting to push her into the shallows. "Think there's some mud on your paws!"

〕The trees have started to loose leaves, some changing colors into reds and oranges. Leaf fall was on the horizon and it was starting to show through the forest. The young cat moved through the reeds as they headed towards the beach as they usually did this time of day. Or well all day everyday but that was besides the point. It was their peace and quiet for a moment and they still wanted to work on fishing, it was their favorite way to hunt as land prey just never hit the same. Though seems they weren’t the only ones to think of coming out here either.

Twinklepaw was there, staring into the water and then was addressing Horizonpaw as well before splashing him. The young apprentices then are in a tussle of water and they couldn’t help but roll their eyes a little. Magpiepaw though felt small sting of jealous form in their chest as they wanted to play in the water too as their warrior ceremony was almost here. Soon they wouldn’t be able to play with the other apprentices’ like they could not and the feeling send fury hot up their face. It sneers slightly to the sand and then pads down to the waters edge, they where in the shallows from what it could see.

The black and white cat then stepped into the water before crouching down, and lifting a paw to swat a large glob of water at the two younger ones with a small smirk in this blue eyes, “I think it is you with mud on your paws, Horizon,,”

Eveningpaw unsurprisingly shares her sister's view when it comes to their fellow warriors. Sour expressions and concerned pulls of brows are never truly gone from their reed-woven home, but they keep popping up more and more... Eveningpaw understands — or at least she tries to, for she lacks the proper experience to fully foresee the dangers that such a change in season might bring. Logically, she knows the rivers will freeze over, and their normally abundant prey sources will be unreachable. But that's the problem; it is all logic, and thus not felt by the heart.

She is intercepted by Horizonpaw on the way to Twinklepaw. All the littermates in one place... this will either turn to pleasant, familial chatter, or turn into absolute chaos.

Twinklepaw chooses chaos.

"Ha! You should see your face!" Eveningpaw barely makes it beside the pair, limbs staggering underneath her as a series of giggles catch her. Horizonpaw's widened eyes... oh, it is absolutely comical. Only her and Twinklepaw have the luxury of teasing their stoic brother like this, and Eveningpaw revels in it.

There's a frozen moment of eyes locked in a trance; and then Horizonpaw leaps into action. Very much direct action. It almost feels like they are kits again, tousling under Hazecloud' careful watch...

But this is no nursery games, and Eveningpaw does not intend to be left out. "I think there's a flood on the way!" Her movement is punctuated by shrill laughter. If anyone wants to ask, she is merely going to try and break apart the impromptu "fight" — but in reality, Eveningpaw impulsively makes the biggest ruckus of them all. She throws herself past her siblings and with a gigantic leap, flings herself into the water... essentially drenching anyone who might have been too close to the bank.
 

Should she have felt bad for splashing her brother? Probably, however how is she supposed to feel true rurmorse when their brother breaks into giggling? Horizonpaw was the best of them, she truly believed that. At the very least- the most stoic sibling so their guard was let down in the expectation of a lack of retalation. The cry she let out is shrill, not well-mannered or guarded, instead it is one of a young apprentice caught off guard in a moment of pure joy. Horizons attempt is successul but she attempts to hold onto his foreleg with her paws to pull him in alongside them. The water is pleasant and for that she is thankful, the slow chill of leaf fall not effecting the waters just yet. "Horizonpaw!" She gasps in mock horror only to burst out into a fit of laughter.

That laughter exploded, loud and uncontrollable as as Magpiepaw joins in, they always seemed rather aloof so it just made it even funnier that they lobbed water right at the pair. She attempts to flick water from her drenched tail up at the older apprentice, being in the shallow part allowed such tactical advantages that she would only use to mischief. "Did StarClan tell you this or something Eveningpaw?" It's easy to tease their littermates, she tries to not do it too often so that way it's clear that they don't really mean it. They couldn't deny that it was really nice for all of them to gather in one place, personally she preffered for it to devolve into chaos such as this then to busy themself with pleasant chatter.

"I don't know how you managed to still have muck on you after that" Horizonpaw is spared from the onslaught of her focus as it pivots to their sister who made a grand entrance. Managing to suppress her giggling she moved so that she could be closer to her, butting their head against their littermates in a show of affection before raising a paw and slamming it onto the water in front of her as hard as she could, the aim was to make the biggest splash possible. It wouldn't be anything close enough to the splash she made with her leap but they thought it would be enough to contribute to the already chaotic and saturated scene at play.

A giggle bursts free of his mouth as he is successful in rolling his sister into the water, and as she takes him with her, his fur grows wet. He'd have to agree with her sentiment, though- the water felt just right. A grin was on his muzzle as he stood straight, cheesing directly at Twinklepaw before the glob of water from Magpiepaw smacked him in the face. There's a loud noise from him as he clears his eyes.

Briefly is he aware of Eveningpaw before it happens- his sister arcing over his head and a wave tousling him. "Woah-" He staggers before a breath full of laughter leaves him, eye wide as he watches his siblings tousle for but a moment. "Eveningpaw!" He cries out on the rumble of laughter that erupts from him, bending over briefly before he surged forward to meet them both in the water-fight.

His head, much like Twinklepaw's, bumps either sibling before he too is soaked once more, drawing a deep breath before he aimed to do much the same, fling his paw up from the water to shower water down on them- and himself. His head tilts backwards as the water catches on that of the sunlight, briefly casting a rainbow.

Robinheart watches the apprentices play in the water - observes siblings let loose of their duty addled minds and revert to the joys most found during kithood.

It’s heartwarming to see.

The tortoiseshell queen pulls her tail closer around herself, trying in vain to avoid the spray of water drenching all who settled along the shore. Citrine eyes glow warmly in regards to the apprentices. She will let them have their messy fun. It harms no one… and besides, the siblings need this bonding experience. It’s something she hopes to see her children engage in as they get older. Robinheart hopes none of the new generation loses their sparkle and sense of whimsy.
