Please feel free to hit up any staff member if you have any questions!
Padding into camp, Flickerfern returned from a hunting patrol, a couple squirrels and a songbird in his jaws. Despite the cooling air of Leaf-fall, the prey was still warm when the warrior dropped them unceremoniously onto the pile. Another day, another patrol. He selected a chipmunk for himself and carried it over to a warm patch of sunlight in the middle of camp, then settled down to eat.
It seemed as if ThunderClan was relatively stagnant lately, not considering the horror stories that came from the previous moon's Gathering. Honestly, Flickerfern was glad they stayed home for that one. They shook their head in disbelief, remembering with a shudder the old stories of the wolves at the Lake. Terrible stuff. That was in the past, however, and Flickerfern almost felt bored. They needed some sort of drama, some entertainment. Their grass-green eyes scanned camp as they chewed on their meal. If it didn't come to them soon, they may just start it themself. Flickerfern's tail lashed once as he conspired to himself, waiting to see if any others would join him in the sun patch.

Quailprowler had just woken up after a late night patrol. With a yawn, the large molly exited the warrior den and padded the the fresh kill pile on sleepy paws. Thankfully, she woke quickly and as she walked, she awoke. Nearing the pile, the older warrior dipped her head to the new one that ate nearby.
"Flickerfern," she said in greeting. "Mind if I join you?"

Minkbite returned from her border patrol, planning to grab a quick bite before heading out again. She wasn’t assigned on any more patrols for a while, but that meant she had time for a solo hunt. She noticed the other cats sitting by the fresh-kill pile. Okay… maybe sitting and chatting for a moment wouldn’t be so bad. The ferals were like a second family to her, especially Quailprowler who had been in the nursery alongside her own mother. “Room for one more?” she purred.

Addercrest
I’m the only one of me
Addercrest watched Flickerfern enter camp after his patrol, seeming to be looking for something as he sat down to eat. He was quickly joined by both her mother and another warrior, and Addercrest decided she was going to join as well. Pointedly, she took one of the squirrels that Flickerfern had just dropped, making her way over.
"I'll join you guys! This squirrel looks so good, Flickerfern! You're such a good hunter! Ooh, we should go hunting together, sometime!" She kept her voice sweet, very aware of her mother being there. Besides, it would be good to keep the Clan on her side. She wasn't an apprentice anymore, so she couldn't use Sweetheart as a scapegoat.
With a smile, she sat down, loudly purring as she dug into her squirrel.
He paused his eating as a shadow loomed over him. It was only Quailprowler. Quickly swallowing what was in his mouth, he nodded and smiled pleasantly. "Of course, Quailprowler, who am I to say no?" he said, his eyes catching more movement. As Minkbite soon joined them, he added, "The more the merrier." It seemed his little mealtime sunbathing had turned into a proper tongue-sharing session. Finally, some action.
The gears in his head were turning when Addercrest padded over, gushing to Flickerfern about his hunting skills. With what he knew about Addercrest...an interesting proposition, to go hunting with her. Flickerfern only shrugged with a smirk. "Eh, I do my best. Sure, Addercrest, I'll take you up on that offer, I'll have to let Sageroot know later. If you want a proper organized patrol, that is." He took a final bite of his chipmunk, swallowed, and began cleaning his paws of the remains.
Never one to appreciate silence, Flickerfern cast a glance around the group. They had an idea. "Quailprowler, actually, it's good I ran into you today. There's been something on my mind I wanted to discuss with you. And you too, Addercrest." Their shrewd green eyes flicked from Quailprowler to her daughter, gauging their reactions for a moment. "How are you two faring without Vinecrawler? It's been a while since he disappeared, right? He was certainly a presence in ThunderClan..." Flickerfern now turned to grooming their chest fur. "It's a shame. Oh, that reminds me, did you know? He and I have quite a history together."
"Did he ever mention a she-cat named Castella to you?" Flickerfern raised his gaze, peering up at the three mollies around him. Hopefully they would take the bait. Maybe ThunderClan would be a little better if the information he was about to spill got out...or a little worse.
i don't have any big lasting plans; i'm too cowardly to take a stand;
Minkbite’s ears pricked at the sound of the odd name. “Castella? That sounds like a kittypet! What would Vinecrawler have to do with a kittypet? Or what would you have to do with one, for that matter? Like I’m not judging but you can’t expect us not to notice that’s not a warrior name.”

Where Addercrest had been smiling, that smile had fallen at the mention of her father. And then her look turned to confusion, glancing at her mother to give her reaction.
Minkbite's questions seemed to echo her own thoughts.
"He wouldn't have anything to do with a kittypet. He was loyal, to both his Clan and his family."
If this cat was trying to imply Vinecrawler would have a forbidden romance, Addercrest wouldn't stand for it.
She narrowed her eyes at Flickerfern, any attempt at acting sweet disregarded in defense of her father.
Quailprowler's face remain stoic. In the beginning, they had a rough start. He would dissappear for large quanties of time. When her mate brought the kit home one day, they hadn't been mates yet. He had no loyalties to her if he had kits with a kittypet... But he wouldn't do that. Then again, he wouldn't have abandoned his feral-born kits. Yet, here they were.
"Spit it out, Flickerfern. We've started this little dance you've started. Now finish it." Quailprowler looked down at her prey she was eating in disgust. Her stomach churned too much. It shouldn't. This was before they had agreed to their vows.
