PRINCE WITH CUNNING [➳] intro

[HEMLOCKHAZE]

PRINCE WITH A THOUSAND ENEMIES — With all the sick cats and sudden appearance of rogues it makes everyone tense of which, Hemlockgaze cannot help but share but keeps this masked and tries to keep his cool. They were losing warriors to yellowcough and the cats on the journey had yet to come back, he doesn't know when they'll be back but he hopes that they all return in one piece and can only hope that Starclan will watch over the group of cats. The former horseplace loner deciding to take a quick break from tunneling and shook the dirt from his coat, his eyes scanning the upper lands and huffs not having found any prey while he had been underground. Hell, he would hunt an adder if it meant that someone or even himself could eat, his ear flicking to the side as he sits down with a frown present on his maw. Maybe if he tried further, perhaps he would find something that he could take back to camp and potentially spare it to one of the kittens even if his stomach growled at him in the slightest. With a lash of his tail, he disappears into the depths of the tunnels with his eyes adjusting to the darkness and takes in the mixed scenes that curled around him as he stepped further into the dark tunnel. He refused to come back empty handed to camp.

It had been a few hours before he stepped out of the tunnels and centered camp holding onto two mice, it was better than nothing is what he thinks as his eyes sweep over the bodies that rested in camp and flicks a dark ear pressing further. He makes his way to the fresh kill pile only to find that it empty and he starts to mull over a find thoughts in his mind, he could keep one of the mice for himself and maybe feed someone else. All of the sick back over in the badger set, he could probably take more of his time to hunt and scavenge the moorlands for whatever it offered but with the influx of bold rogues made it difficult. With a soft huff through the fur of the mice, he finally sets them down deciding he would be kind enough to those around and let then feed before himself. He could search for something for himself a little later. Maybe a rabbit if he was lucky, the thought itself making his mouth water and he speaks with a nod of his head "If anyone's hungry, I've brought two mice." He announces with a soft sigh and a tired smile crossed his mind, he could make this sacrifice to feed a kit or two. Next time though... He'd be a little selfish.

[Bluepool]

If she is being honest, she does not approve of her sisters choice not to follow the code put into place by the RiverClan rat. Sure, he had his many many faults but on this she feels he had made a sensible decision. The vulnerable were incapable of caring for themselves when they had kits to look after or aching bones that ailed them and forced them to remain in the elders den. If she had kits she would want to be looked after and if she had given a lifetime of servitude to her clan she hopes for a little gratitude and respect in her older years. Stars know how Sootstar would react if she voiced this opinion out loud though, it seemed as if these days Bluepool never knew how her sister would react to anything at all. And now that Weaselclaw was dead she seemed in a more fragile state then ever. Best to give her her space to grieve and silently ensure that others were fed before herself. This, at least, she could do.

She knows some of her other clanmates don't care, they are happy to continue taking only for themselves. She had always been a selfish cat but for her clan, the very same she had promised to always look after and protect, she could give this. It seems another shares a similar opinion for as she watches, Hemlockhaze strolls into camp with two mice dangling from his jaws, offering them to whoever was hungry. "You are fortunate to have brought back such a bounty" she observes. Prey was not coming in the way it normally should.

[breezerunner]

As stupid and pretentious as RiverClan is, Breezerunner still complies to their proposed law even though Sootstar said they wouldn't be codifying it in WindClan. Breezerunner knows he should let his weaker clanmates eat first- the kits and sick among them will grow stronger with food and the elders should be honored. Hell, he would feed Wormwing and Mossdust before himself too. But as the pair of mice- as minuscule as they are- lay between himself and Hemlockhaze, his stomach audibly growls.

Breezerunner turns his head away, trying to employ 'out of sight out of mind' efforts to curb his hunger pangs. Would Bluepool think poorly of him if he took one? "You should see if any of the kits are hungry," the moor runner suggests with a small grimace, gaze still directed away from the little mouse carcasses. He's sure that the queens whose kits have been recently weaned might appreciate the gesture.

[SOOTSTAR]

SOOTSTAR​

Her stomach has not rumbled for prey in days, but she feeds it anyways. The last thing she needed in these trying times were to wither away, as hopeless as she felt right now she needed to remain strong. A good leader would do it for their clan, but Sootstar does it for herself. Either socially unaware or uncaring, Sootstar pads forth and scoops a fresh mouse by the tail out from the pile. She gives Hemlockgaze a look of praise for his good work, then picks it up and heads right back into her den.

[Gooseberry]

The new code put in place was also followed by Gooseberry, at least for the most part. If his stomach was rumbling however, who would be be to deny it? But overall, it WAS a reasonable addition. He might care the most about himself and his health over the clan’s, but that doesn’t mean he has ill will to the clan he swears loyalty to. He was also a big cat, so he could survive a few lost meals, until he has no choice.

He also gives Hemlockhaze a look of approval, and elects to ignore his leader snatching one of the mice for herself. She probably needed it, anyways. She spends so much time cooped up in her den, now…not that he could fault her for that. He couldn’t imagine losing someone so close to him, but that’s part of the reason why he tends to keep a distance from others. “Yes, I’d go check on the nursery. If not one of the kits, then a queen themself.” Kits in general are important, but he’d hate to see weak newborns even more. They deserve a chance to live.​

 

[PINKSHINE]

The really lame, gross, and horrible part about being a kit is that she can't go outside. Camp got bring after not very long, and poor her, she has to resort to trailing random warriors and digging holes in order to fine ANY sort of entertainment! The cool thing about being a kit is: she get's stuff, yay! Pink-kit pricks an ear to the gathering of these peasants, standing around... discussing who should get some yummy mice. And if they're talking about HER, naturally, she should come over! Pink-kit struts elegantly to the gathering of cats, greyish coat rippling majestically. Dramatically, she comes to halt. " Gimmie! "

OOC 🎀 IT'S 4:27 IN THE AFTERNOON, 20 MISSED TEXTS FROM YOU

•  

• NOTE: SHE IS A FEVER COAT BABY!
  

  

• ( I MISS YOU, IT'S MAGIC! ) PINK-KIT KIT OF WINDCLAN. DAUGHTER TO BRIGHTSHINE & HEAVY SNOW. SISTER TO HEATHKIT, DOWNYKIT, & FINCHKIT.
  —— SHE / HER; UNOPPOSED TO THE USE OF OTHERS
  —— CURRENTLY 2 MOONS OLD. AGES EVERY 16TH
  
  A tiny, longhaired calico she - kit with yellow eyes, ringed blue around her pupils (sectoral heterochromia). While you can clearly see her flame markings on her face, the rest of her body is currently covered by a grey fever - coating. Though the whites of her are still very much visible. Pink-kit bounces around WindClan without a care in the world! Her emotions are big, and she makes little effort to regulate them, resulting in both her usually cheerful disposition, as well as making her prone to sudden bouts of extreme anger or sadness. Rarely seen without a smile!
  

  HEAVY IC OPINIONS! Pink-kit is a very irrational and childish character!​

[HEMLOCKHAZE]

PRINCE WITH A THOUSAND ENEMIES — Hemlockgaze turns his eyes to Bluepool listening to what she says and offers a small smile "It took a little longer than I anticipated... But two mice is better than none," Which was true especially with the prey being stolen from rogues right from under their noses and the fact that they didn't have the strong, healthy paws that had left them for the journey of finding a cure and bringing it back home. His thin tail flicking behind him as Breezerunner comes over and says that he should see if any of the kittens are hungry with he agrees with. Hemlockgaze feeling hopeful and proud of his clanmates for putting forth the code despite how Sootstar didn't necessarily enforce it, he's about ready to collect his bounty but it seems that the devil herself dares near to swipe one of the mice for herself and awarding him a look of praise. When she turns away to head back to her den, he can't help but quirk a nonexistent eyebrow and sighs nodding with what Gooseberry adds on.

Once more Hemlock is prepared to pick up the mouse and sees a little molly make her way over to them and his eyes light up immediately, he's glad that she has showed up rather than any other selfish warrior potentially snagging the mouse for themselves and proceeds to hook the mouse with a claw smiling down at the mottled kitten "Alright, here you go." The tunneler says nudging the mouse forward.
