camp like a fairytale // cleaning the nursery [punishment]

STEADY THE RIGHTS AND THE WRONGS

As much as he does not regret standing up for his clanmates - or are they friends now? He'd certainly like to think so, but then again he'd thought gravelpaw was his friend too... Well, as much as he does not regret doing so, he certainly wishes he would've at least given firefang a good smack if he was to be punished regardless. He can already feel the hunger pains beginning to set in - though it's nothing he is unused to. Leafbare had been harsh, sometimes it'd take all day to find even a single scrap of prey. This is nothing.

At least ,that's what he tries to convince himself. In the meantime, the rest of his punishment is hardly worth batting an eye over. In fact, the boy is currently humming quietly to himself, fresh moss and ferns and scraps of fur piled up neatly piled up beside him as he ducks into the nursery, a rather serene look on his face. he's always loved kits, and helping the queens reminds him of his own mothers in a more cheerful way than the world outside does. He has many a fond memory of this place - from the many times he'd been babysat to sootstar teaching him and aspenpaw to hunt leaves in the wind, they're all filled with a warmth and happiness which he struggles to find these days.

Peering around the den, he tries to work out a plan of action - he doesn't want to upset anyone by destroying or discarding anything they might want to keep after all, nor does he want to be underpaw and in the way of the queens who have enough to deal with these days. It'll be best, he thinks, to start out with the obvious - getting rid of the old mossballs and other toys, as well as any remnants of prey forgotten by the little monsters. Maybe pluck any bothersome weeds, and check that the walls are secure. After that, he'll figure out what to do about the nests themselves.

Harrierpaw, who was now Firefang’s apprentice, felt like a target had been painted on his back. Three elder apprentices had just been severely punished for their disobedience and disrespect against the warrior, and naturally as any apprentice likely would he loyally takes his mentors side. In fact, Tigerfrost should’ve punished them even more severely. Maybe instead of cleaning the nursery they should be sleeping in it with -kit names to fit!

It’s in an apprentice’s nature to want to mock, poke fun, and demean den-mates. He wants to poke and irritate at the punished cats, humiliate them further and jeer “I’ll leave a couple mouse tails for you guys when I eat tonight! If Firefang even lets you eat those!” But he refrains. The new apprentice is surprisingly disciplined, Kestrelswoop had most certainly succeeded in raising him to his parent’s expectations.

Though opting to say nothing as he passes by give gives the three a blank stare. Despite being younger and more inexperienced he looks at them as if they are beneath him, like his ascension to a ”paw” had immediately allowed him to outrank the lot. For all Harrierpaw believed that’s exactly what his promotion had done. How should he be expected to sit lower than apprentices who couldn’t even respect a warrior!

Azaleapaw set about her task fixing and cleaning the nests in the nursery with her usual expressionless gaze. Behind her well practiced expression was a tempest of hatred and anger, and she did well to keep it hidden. She would find a way to soothe her anger later. She tried to focus on the task at hand.

Revenge would be hers one day. She would have her enemies begging for her mercy, which she will deny. After all, they would show her none, why should she show them any.

Thoughts of violence kept her calm, the strangled cries of cats who despised her brought her comfort.

After finishing with the nest she was working on that would likely be used by Spiderbloom- she made sure to make it extra soft for her, she figured she needed it after.... You know. She began making mossballs with the spare moss for the kits to play with. A bunch of them. She piled them neatly to the side to keep them out of the way.

She was glad Periwinklepaw was here with her. She enjoyed his company and wasn't going to leave him alone. If they were going to do this ridiculous punishment, they would do it together.


 
He has to admit, watching the troublemakers clean the nursery is amusing. He wouldn’t normally be found anywhere near the nightmare den otherwise—too concerned with staying far, far away from the clan’s youngest cats. But just the same as Harrierpaw, the monochrome feline believes that Azaleapaw, Periwinklepaw, and Dazzlepaw should have been punished more severely. The three of them probably enjoy cleaning the nursery; it’s where they belong, anyway. Dazzlepaw’s little stunt, his blatant disrespect for Firefang not only as a warrior but as a she-cat, has launched the red-furred apprentice straight to the top of his shit-list. And Azaleapaw’s lying, foaming, frothing mouth has earned her a place just below her accomplice.

Periwinklepaw, inexplicably, remains in neutral standing. He even finds himself feeling a bit sorry for the black and white apprentice—until he remembers their words, when the younger cat had confronted him afterward. As though Peri hadn’t been the one to stand with the weaklings who’d been too afraid to face Firefang head-on, and decided to try and injure her with her own nest instead.

"You missed a spot," he grumbles out to the troublemakers, hazel eyes narrowing at them. There is no spot, obviously, but it’s a phrase they’ve heard older warriors throw around when they want to make hardworking apprentices’ lives more difficult.
[ DEATH OF A DREAM ]
 

Compared to his two partners in crime Dazzlepaw was unfazed with the punishment that had been given out to them. At least he acted like it didn't bother him. Why should it anyway?. At this point Dazzlepaw probably had more strikes than any of the other apprentices!. He really had made a name for himself to be the biggest troublemaker in the clan. Dazzlepaw was wearing a smile while humming as he attended to his duties as he had just cleaned one of the elders nest and put new moss in it. His attention shifted over to the other two noticing their moods were quite low... It was weird to see them in here even less so by knowing they had ended up here just because they had decided to stick up for him. Aha, maybe he should have let them take the blame after all. His smile turned into a grin as he come up with something funny.

" Hey guys!, look at this!." he tried to catch Azaleapaw and Periwinklepaw's attention before he picked up the clean moss and put it under his chin and made a stupid face. " Guess who i am!." he was trying to imitate a twoleg!. A twoleg with that funny fur hanging from their chin!.

Suddenly they where not alone in here anymore. Looked like they had got themselves an audience!. Cats really loved to watch when someone was on shame duty. like they where some sort of freaks to look at....it most be nice to have so much free time if apprentices like Harrierpaw had time to stare at them rather than training to become a warrior!. Gosh he felt jealous now. He wished he had so much free time!. Dazzlepaw would just give a grin to Harrierpaw and a wink.

He was not the one who was interesting him though...no...no. The moment Gravelpaw entered the den the real show could begin!. While ignoring the comment Gravelpaw was saying, leaving that up to his two friends to answer the apprentice got up on his paws and stept closer to Periwinklepaw pretending like he was going to walk pass them to get moss or something! but then he just happen to 'trip' and with a dramatic 'aaaah' he fell and attempted to bump his head right into Periwinklepaws chest.

Dazzlepaw was quick to back away again pretending to look a bit embarassed as he chuckled.
" S-sorry Peri! hah, how clumsy i can be sometimes!!. " He smiled apologetics to them before he cast a side glance look at Gravelpaw, and only for them to see his lip curled up slightly into a smirk. Heh.
