Going places || o. Moving into apprentice den


You've wasted your life, but thanks for applying

Snowpaw had not wasted time to snatch up her nest from the nursery and begin her move into the apprentice den. First though, she had poked her head into the den to attempt and find a empty spot and once she had she went ahead and grabbed her bedding before moving to quickly set her stuff down. A corner spot close to the edge of the den, nothing special and she was sure many others would not care for such a spot. Many of the other apprentices were perhaps finding rooms near other cats they knew so, Snowpaw had perhaps gotten luckyb in finding a spot in isolation, and perhaps quietness.

Soon she began to work on making the nest perfect and to her comfort, her focus trained on her work and making sure she was not disturbing any other around her. To her, it was finally a moment of piece and quiet, and she was sure none of the others would care too much if she took a spot near the edges of the den. Albeit it was colder due to the cooling air of leaf-bare finding its way through, she much prefer it over stepping on the older apprentices paw or taking someone else's spot one might have made claim to already.

Soon Snowpaw would pause and look at her handiwork, it was simple, plain of course but the nest was neatly done...or well, as best as her tiny paws could do. She had moss tangled in with some dead leaves and flowers, plain small feathers, it wasn't anything extravagant but she knew once she had the chance she would definitely work hard to make something more better than what she had. For now, it was fine and a soft huff came from hef before scanning the den wondering who else had already settled in of the newly appointed apprentices.

It had not been a great day for Basilpaw which was shown across his solemn expression when he entered the new den he was suppose to spend his time in for months to come. Lividpaw was not with him to busy spending time with their father and Basilpaw had not been invited. He had been hoping the two could have picked their new nests together but when father called Lividpaw never disobeyed.

For some reason he had thought he would be alone in here but to his suprise spotted Snowpaw. That lightened his mood up a bit. " Oh hi there Snowkit!! woops, i mean Snowpaw!!, hehe, gonna take a while to get used to that!. " he chuckled as he made his way over to her and his eyes started to spark with awe when he saw what she had done with her nest already. " Wowie!, your nest really looks great Snowpaw!. You really have a eye for this!." he would compliment her as he leaned down to get a clear look on the neatly made nest. At least it was far better then he ever could dream of making with his clumpsy paws!.

" Oh i know!, how about you help me with my nest?." His idea was brilliant and he would stand up straight again as he swiftly turned around to face his denmate and took steps closer so he was right at her face. " Please?, pretty pretty please? " he gave her the puppy eyes hoping that would be enough to sway her to his will.




 
*+:。.。 It felt like only a day ago the three cats had been kittens together, sleeping with their nests side by side with the promise of Singekit's harassment of them once the sun returned. But now Snowpaw and Basilpaw were apprentices, and Singekit was left behind in the nursery, cheeks puffed as he fumed over the betrayal. They could've at least put in a good word so Singekit could've joined them...

So of course, Singekit was a bundle of fury when he poked his head into the apprentice's den. He wasn't technically allowed inside, but since no-one else was around, he couldn't get his ears cuffed for it. "I hope you guys give each other a headache!" Singekit pouts, his sharp words intercut with the wobble of a child already missing the company of his friends. Friends - BAH! He doesn't think of them as friends! Snowkit...paw is always so gloomy and annoying, always acting like she's better than everyone! And Basil...paw is a fake jerk, too loud for his own good and always giggling like a madman, he reminds Singekit of Yellowkit and Singekit hates Yellowkit!

But for all his gripes, the child still blatantly sits at the apprentice's den entrance, his boiling blue eyes glowing with the unspoken plead that they'll invite him in. He wants to decorate his nest (he doesn't have a nest) and help them decorate theirs! He'll even be nice and work hard to make their nests soft, he (not out loud) promises! He scoots a little closer, as close to begging for their attention as he can bring himself to be. "You guys are gonna do a bad job, your nests will probably get lumpy and gross" so ask for my help!! He's practically teary-eyed as he waits hopefully for their approval.

Snowpaw, she thinks, would prove to be the newest denmate that she minds the least. It's unfortunate, that she was apprenticed beside the loudmouths that are Halfpaw and Basilpaw. A counterbalance, or something. That sibling of his was not nearly as loud, but Basilpaw has enough of a voice for the both of them. Perhaps even more than that— definitely more.

Yes, Snowpaw is someone she would not mind congratulating. " Congratulations, Snowpaw, " she mews from her own nest, though she did not currently have the energy to make it sound particularly friendly. Snowpaw's nest was not bad either, at least, not compared to the abomination Halfpaw would almost certainly bring in with her. Hopefully Snowpaw would reply with no more than a thank you, as Applepaw is promptly flattening her ears once Basilpaw begins his yapping.

Suddenly, and yet, somewhat predictably, Singekit is sticking his head into the den to bristle at his former friends. It's somewhat of a shock, that she finds herself agreeing with him, mentally.

It's a shame that the bite in his voice is a poor cover up for what was the kittish fear of missing out. Unfortunately, even if his friends invited him in, Applepaw was there to deny him entry. The tortoiseshell's eyes narrow knowlingly at the kit. " Maybe if they can focus, their nests won't turn out so bad. "

  • ( CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M THE WORST, SO I ALWAYS ACT LIKE I'M THE BEST ) APPLEPAW. apprentice of shadowclan. eldest sister to swanpaw, ashenpaw, and garlicpaw. ( + birdkit, halfkit & tanglekit )
    —— she / her; confused by the use of others.
    —— currently 9 moons old as of 12.20.23. ages every 17th.

    longhaired blue torbie with a white chest, paws, and underbelly. A young cat you would describe as " bossy, " Applepaw is quick to take charge of any situation she sees herself as the probable head of. Naturally talented, and a rule - follower to a T, she thinks herself better than the majority of her peers. Not ignorant enough to think herself above a warrior, but seeks to gain that status as quickly as possible. Intensely self - motivated to be the best in a mixture of blind, childish desire, and never wanting to be afraid of anything ever again.
 
Upon mud-stained paws, Patchpaw peaked her head into the apprentice den. Their chatter could be heard from outside, but it was Singekit's unmistakable tormenting that brought her there. The kits loved to bother them, while the trainees laid restlessly in their nests. It was because they wanted to grow up too soon; the urge to dive right into apprenticeship was strong. She was all-too-familiar with the feeling. When you are so young, and the next day seems like an eternity away, how could you possibly wait three moons?
But they all did, counting down the days to their ceremony in wait.

Patchpaw shuffled a few steps further into the den. "Congratulations," she offers to the two newly appointed. Green eyes squint down at Singekit as he mewls about their nests. Applepaw already has it covered, but she wants to give her two cents: "You're lumpy and gross, Singekit." A grin had fallen on her maw as she awaited further whining. Antagonizing was fun.

[ ༻❄༺ ] Snowpaw's gaze drifted up to Basilpaw, who began to chitter off as usual, somwthing one would get used to after some time when you grew up with it. A forced smile drifted on her lips while ears pinned awkwardly on her head trying to appear friendly as possible to the other newly made apprentice, who even started to beg her to help him make his own nest, and she was about to say no, hesitation flittering in her yellow gaze.

Then the screeching voice of Singekit came peeking through the apprentice den and she gritted her teeth in annoyance at Singekit for his words and a roll of her eyes while they thumped their stumpy tail on the ground before softly shaking her head. "Wait three moons then maybe you can join in making nests" she stated coolly.

Then, Applepaw startled her by congratulating her on becoming an apprentice, which isn't something one couldn't easily achieve, afterall it wasnt like she worked to get the title but all and all she dipped her head in thanks to the older apprentice. Then another came to congratulate them and even made a remark to Singekit which made the apprentice stifle a small laugh at. "Ah...thank you... I suppose, and uhm.. hopefully we see each other in training.." they said softly. This was...awkward, the attention...was at least.
