After the meeting, there had been a re-arrangement of nests- three more apprentices joined them, but simultaneously, two- four?- had left. He didn't even know anymore, but what he knew, is that he needed to clean up his nest. He stepped in, eyebrows knotted together and eyes narrowed, moving to his nest. Picking free a collection of items, he settled them aside and began to haul the moss out. It took him a long few minutes before he returned, new moss clutched in his fangs.

Beetlepaw set to work, remaking his nest. Just how he liked it, then weaving his trinkets back together in the nest. Ears perked and twitched as he stepped back, vision pinned to his nest. Moments later his nose wrinkled. "Not gonna know until..." A long sigh left him, and he dragged his paws into his nest and settled into it with a 'harumph', still nudging and wiggling moss around.

( 𖤓 ) it's nice to feel safe in his den again. it had seemed like a luxury mere days ago, but now that everything has more-or-less returned to normal, basilpaw finds himself indulging in the feeling. curled in his newly built nest, which has been dragged back to where it originally was now that there are no lines to divide the apprentices, he watches with sleepy eyes as beetlepaw sets about righting his situation. "looks comfy," the boy comments as his denmate steps back to admire his work.

the nest does, truthfully, and in an unseparated den, it fits right in. resting his snow-dashed chin on the rim of his own nest, basilpaw quirks his lips as the other tom kneads and rustles around, curling in on himself to fit the nest to his shape. "does it feel comfy, too?" he'll comment, after a minute of the boy's shuffling. "there, uh, might be some more feathers outside. i think someone caught a wood-pigeon or something."

    a cream ticked tabby with high white, and green eyes. a tall boy sporting a chaotically ruffled coat of pale cream tabby. darker ticked stripes flow down his fur, and band around his legs and face. his chest, stomach, muzzle, and most of his tail are white, and he has ferny-green eyes that sparkle with mischief.
 
when the meeting concludes, spiderpaw realizes that it was time for them to make the move from nursery to apprentice den but first he needed to gather nesting materials as he seen many peers do before and once satisfied with the bundle held in his jaws set out for the den where his arrival is announced by the quivering and parting of ferns that concealed the entrance. even though four had graduated, spiderpaw was still surprised by the amount of nests that remain and for a moment appears slightly troubled on where he could put his nest down.

after some thinking, the newest addition to the apprentice den steps around relaxing bodies to approach an empty space where moss and feathers are set down. all that time watching his sister decorate nests in the nursery comes in handy as nimble paws get to work building and shaping his own personal nest, brows furrowing slightly and tongue peeking out in focus. "d—do you think this lo—looks okay?" spiderpaw asks quietly after a few minutes, turning his head to look at beetlepaw and basilpaw.

*+:。.。 "Wow Spiderpaw! It looks so cozy!" Bugpaw chirps, happy to boost her new denmate's spirit. "Now you gotta try it out, see if it's comfy for you!" Bugpaw purrs, encouraging the new apprentice to enjoy his new space. Sitting in her own nest, made comfortable by her moon now of sleeping in it, she lifts her gaze to the see of beds surrounding her and thinks with a heavy heart about the line she had drawn between herself and the other apprentices who'd sided with Skyclaw. She hoped the line would erase itself with time, although she felt she must do some of the work to eradicate the boundary, however way she could. "It's awesome getting to have everyone back together again, one step closer to the good ol' days! Speaking of, Meadowpaw, wanna have a sleepover on my nest?" Although there's no proper erasing of history and the tension specifically between herself and Meadowpaw wasn't her favorite, that didn't mean she didn't miss having her friend beside her. 'Sides, for one night it couldn't hurt to have one last sleepover.

When the line was drawn between the 'good' and 'bad', Shroudedpaw entertained the juvenile idea by taking an opportunity to push his nest so close to Bugpaw's that it almost merged. He had gotten comfortable with it, letting his back press against the calico as they slept - but now that things are changing, he expects this to change, too. He had come to feel quite different all of a sudden, after all.

The boy is resting in his nest, grooming himself, when the chatter begins to fill the den. Newcomers fill in, few and far between, but just enough to make the den feel all the more suffocating. An annoyed twitch of his ear is all he gives to signal his frustration with the disruption in the den's peace, until Bugpaw chirps up again about sleepovers - with Meadowpaw, no less.

The vile beast of jealousy rears its' head once more. He'd thought they were over, and that he could take his place once more as Bugpaw's best friend (he wouldn't entertain the idea of 'platonic mate' - gross!).. but much to his disappointment, what little resentment lie between the girls was seemingly over. His pelt prickles at the idea of another cat resting between him and Bugpaw, both metaphorically and physically. " Want me to move my nest back to make room for her? " the boy mutters tartly to Bugpaw, no longer focused on the lighthearted conversation that brought them here - but now, his own self-interest.

( ooc ) ic opinions! <3
 

Beetlepaw rumbles a neutral answer towards Basilpaw. Comfy was what he was going for, but supportive would be nice too. As he settles in and nudges it about, another neutral rumble leaves him in response, focused for a but a moment before green eyes lifted and blinked at Basilpaw. "Nah, you don't have to do all that. Thanks, though." I can get it myself. I'm not useless. His ears twitched at the prickly thought, but he wears a smile on his face that erases doubt even from himself.

Spiderpaw steps in next, nervously settling the nest down. He had a mixed bag of emotions there- it was someone new in the den they were barely getting back as their own, but.. Spiderpaw was one of the kits he rescued during the battle. He holds his tongue in favor of Bugpaw encouraging the boy, only giving the same warm smile he gave to Basilpaw to Spiderpaw instead if he was looked at. Bugpaw was good at that- good at being a friend. He wasn't sure he was all that interested in playing friends, but he could be.. friendly, right? That's what he had been taught to do.

As his eyes steal towards Bugpaw, with Shroudedpaw right behind her... and the call for his cousin to come rest with Bugpaw. Seriously. A long breath him, tail twitching in minor irritation. Can't you guys just.. figure it out already? He wonders, quietly, if there's anybody looking at him like that- a quick glance about the den tells him they aren't, and a grumble leaves him as he lays his head down.
