Newbie Apprentices. [open/knotpaw]

[Marshpaw]

Once settled into a comfortable position, Marshpaw's gaze took a brief glance at each of the apprentices participating in the conversation. However, soon his gaze focused on Sunpaw as she began to speak about his description being similar to her description. Marshpaw shrugged at the idea, his was mostly based on what he had been told. "Mine is mostly based on what I've heard. So I guess your idea is accurate, Sunpaw." He meowed, giving a good reason on why the descriptions were so similar. Talking about the new territory only made Marshpaw more excited to explore, see and even hear everything for himself. Unfortunately, he would have to be accompanied by a warrior, but nonetheless the idea constantly stuck to his mind, refusing to leave any time soon. That was when the topic of territory faded and the mentioning of possible warrior names came into play. There was only one name that made sense to Marshpaw involving his name, which was Marshtail. He couldn't necessarily explain it in easy terms, but his tail always reminded him of a plant, and he wouldn't doubt if it reminded someone of a plant that grew in marshes. His eyes drifted down at his tail, taking a few moments to stare blankly at it before his gaze drifted back up.

"The only one I could think of for me is Marshtail." Marshpaw answered, bringing his tail away from his paws to show it off. His yellow eyes then glanced at Knotpaw, and he could already guess that his name would probably be Knotfur, or maybe even Knotpelt. Marshpaw didn't even feel the need to ask Knotpaw, mostly because his fur was an explanation in itself. He hadn't gone too deeply into what his possible warrior name could be, so his mind began to slowly try to piece together some more names for himself that would make sense, but to no avail.

[Sunpaw]

Sunpaw listened while Marshpaw predicted what his warrior name would be. She didn't exactly get the point of naming him "marsh" because she heard they were swampy, sticky, and gross, and Marshpaw's tail looked nothing like that. For Knotpaw, she guessed his name would either be Knotfur or Knottail. She had seen him bend his tail is some pretty, amazing, ways. Then Sunpaw realized that she had to answer. "I'm pretty sure my name will be Sunclaw." Sunpaw meowed. She didn't want to waste time explaining, so she showed the other apprentices. She quietly unsheathed her right claws, and waited for them to catch the sun. Once they did they reflected the light.

Knotpaw listened to what they thought their names would be. He liked Marshpaw's because it sounded cool, although he didn't really understand that association with his tail. He supposed perhaps it was a plant that lived in the marshes, but if Knotpaw had to chose he'd probably call him Marsheye, since his eyes were kinda yellow and looked like what he imagined a marsh would look like, but maybe cooler. Knotpaw then listened to Sunpaw say how she wanted to be Sunclaw and then she showed off how her claws glinted in the sun. It was pretty cool, but if he had to chose then he might call her Sunpelt, since her fur was the color of the sun.

"I'd like to be called Knotfur, for obvious reasons, but of course anything else would be cool with me" Knotpaw began licking his paws and fur to clean himself. He waited to see if anybody else had something to talk about. He was enjoying their talk about being an apprentice and warrior names. He supposed that perhaps now Sunpaw was supposed to ask a question, since both he and Marshpaw had already asked one. He would see.

[Sunpaw]

Sunpaw listened as Knotpaw said his name would be Knotfur. That was pretty obvious, but she wasn't quite sure. She soon realized that it was her turn to ask a question, but she had no idea what question she would ask. Knotpaw and Marshpaw had already asked the good ones. Then she thought of a good one. "What did you like best about being kits?" Sunpaw meowed. She then looked down at her nest, and realizing it was finished, she laid down it it.

[Marshpaw]

Marshpaw's eyes strayed towards Sunpaw, listening to her and watching as her claws reflected the strains of light. It was a rather spectacular thing to see, mostly because the strains of light shone out. Marshpaw's yellow eyes began to observe it, watching as the light touched the surfaces of the den walls, floor and nests. "That's so cool," Marshpaw meowed in response. Next, Knotpaw answered the question, with the predictable answer of being named after his knotty fur. It was easy to tell that this was now a game of questions, where they essentially went around in a circle and asked a question for everyone to answer. The good questions had already been put out there, but sure enough Marshpaw was thinking of his question for when his turn came back up. His tail quietly moved with anticipation for when his turn would come up, but he patiently sat and waited. His gaze drifted towards Sunpaw as she asked the next question for everyone to answer. This question was about kithood, which made Marshpaw smile at the memories of kithood. Being an apprentice would be fun, but the idea of tumbling around like a kit still had it's appeal. Marshpaw already knew his answer a few seconds in. "The games. They were always so fun!" Marshpaw happily answered. While he had answered, he'd spared a glance at Sunpaw and Knotpaw. That was when he had an idea, an idea that he wanted to ask about, after Knotpaw and Sunpaw answered of course.

[Deleted]

[Guess who is trash and never replied. The answer is me.]

Knotpaw flicked his tail lazily as he turned his near-black eyes to the roof. He was glad to have some cats that he knew becoming apprentices with him. Sunpaw had the same mentor as him and she was his friend and Marshpaw had a nest next to his. He was generally pretty happy with how things were going. Then Sunpaw asked her question about what they had enjoyed about being kits. He wasn't exactly sure. He thought for a second as Marshpaw said his answer. Then it hit him. "The lack of consequences and responsibilities." He mewed. His eyes turned to the other two cats, seriousness glinting in them. "Now if I mess up it's my fault and I have to deal with it. You know?" He sighed and went back to looking at the den roof while he waited for Sunpaw to say her answer and then Marshpaw to ask his question. He felt like he had ruined the happy mood.

[Sunpaw]

(Lol it's fine, I have like all the time in the world, not rushing to become a warrior*points to rank*)

Sunpaw listened as Marshpaw and Knotpaw answered her question. Marshpaw's answer was like what her answer would be, but not quite. Knotpaw's answer, well Sunpaw thought it was hilarious. "I have to agree will the both of you. Those were some of my favorites, but what I like best was meeting new cats. Now I only really talk to you guys and Sunfish." Sunpaw meowed. Then she quietly waited for Marshpaw.

[Marshpaw]

[ I just kind of.... wait lol ]

Marshpaw was teeming with excitement over his clever little idea that he would get to say shortly. His tail wavered at the very thought, and even his claws unsheathed themselves to scratch at the bedding below his paws. His eyes took another round of glancing, noticing just how close Knotpaw and Sunpaw's nests were to his, which only made him smile broader. Next thing he knew, Knotpaw was speaking and stating what he enjoyed about kithood. Marshpaw nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I know what you mean." It was true, at this age when someone makes a mistake or does something mischievous they would have to face the consequences. Marshpaw hadn't thought about too much, but he knew that it would have to be considered at times when he had to make a decision. Then Sunpaw answered, claiming that she liked both of their ideas, but liked the idea of meeting new cats more than anything. Marshpaw couldn't necessarily agree, since he hadn't met many cats when he was merely a kit, but could easily guess that it was fun. That was when it was his turn to speak, but more so ask a question. However, Marshpaw didn't have a question, but rather an idea to bring to the table.

"You know, we all seem to know each other pretty well. Why don't we form some sort of mini-group within the Clan?" Marshpaw asked, having difficulty stringing the words together in a way that sounded better "We could use it so we know that we have each others back and others to talk to, maybe? Like with more, discrete things." Marshpaw meowed, trying his best to fit his idea with a name of sorts. He mostly hoped he didn't sound like some ambitious lunatic who planned to make a Clan of his own. Of course, that was no where close to what he had in mind, he more so wanted a safe-haven of friends that he could talk to or rely on if the Clan were to disband or get separated for whatever reason. Mostly, he thought of it almost in a story prospective, thinking about all the great adventures they could have as a group of cats. Almost like an exclusive guild that helped the Clan in whatever way possible.

[ I am sorry if I my post was a bit confusing, but basically I was thinking the three of them could have an alliance if Marshpaw's little rambling made no sense. xD ]

[Deleted]

Knotpaw listened as Sunpaw explained that she liked meeting new cats. Knotpaw had met a few cats when he had been a kit, but most of them were sitting right next to him now. He had still enjoyed meeting them though. He nodded from his messy little nest. Then Marshpaw started talking about how they should join a group together. Still within the clan, but with them together. Knotpaw chuckled. "Do we get to invite other cats or is it just going to be us? I'm in either way." Maybe he didn't know exactly what he was getting himself into, but he thought it might be fun to team up with the two cats with whom he was closest to at that moment.

[Sunpaw]

(Nice way to make it sound like a betrayal marsh )

Sunpaw listened as Marshpaw talked to her and Knotpaw. An alliance? she thought. The way Marshpaw had put it made it sound like they were going to create their own clan. But she knew that both Marshpaw and Knotpaw were loyal to IceClan. And then Knotpaw said sure. "Well I suppose I wouldn't want to miss out on the fun, would I? I'm in." Sunpaw meowed. "So, what does this group entail too?" Sunpaw tried to sound as formal as she could, but ended bursting out laughing.

[Marshpaw]

[ I assure you he is not, I just had a bad moment of wording it. x3 Literally just want him to have friends, plus I thought it would be kind of awesome to have a little bit of a group of friends... I think I just worded it better... ]

With those few words, Marshpaw's loyalty could be questionable by others, but inside his loyalty to IceClan and his friends was too strong to break. All he really wanted was a small group to have fun with and go on adventures, but mostly so he knew that he had friends he could go to. This all made having a small group of friends appealing. A slight smile appeared on Marshpaw's face as Knotpaw agreed and asked a question. "Hmm, I guess, but perhaps everyone should have to agree?" Marshpaw answered, not being completely decided on the idea of more joining. His smile broadened when Sunpaw agreed on the idea of joining too. He chuckled upon hearing her professionally worded question, mostly because it almost felt like some sort of meeting. "Well I was thinking we could go on adventures and have fun. And if something were to ever happen, we know we would have each other." Marshpaw answered, making it sound a lot more appealing from when he first asked.

That was when a second thought came to him, the topic of a name. "But what are we going to call ourselves?" Marshpaw asked, giving his two friends some more debate in the topic. The last thing Marshpaw wanted to do was sound bossy and give his friends no opinions.

[Deleted]

Knotpaw listened to Sunpaw's formal reply. He stifled a chuckle as he listened to what Marshpaw was saying in response to his question about other cats joining. Knotpaw liked the idea of everybody needing to agree to let them in. It felt like their own secret club. He nodded in agreement to Marsh's idea. As he was thinking about all the fun they were going to have Marshpaw asked if they had any ideas for names. "The Unknown!" He blurted before he thought any better of it. He quieted down and smiled. "I thought it was was cool because it was kind of like a kind of secret sounding name."

[Sunpaw]

Sunpaw laughed quietly as Knotpaw said his idea. She wasn't quite sure if any of her own ideas were good or not, but she had one or two that she will willing to share. "Well, there's the Order, or the Icicles of IceClan. The seconds one's kind of a mouthful though." Sunpaw meowed. She wasn't really the greatest at coming up with names, but Sunpaw thought her ideas were decent.

[Marshpaw]

Marshpaw was pleased to hear the many inputs his friends had for the club's name. A small grin was upon his face, he had successfully found a group of friends that he could likely rely on and adventure with. Ears pricked, Marshpaw listened, letting his friends give their input. That was when he had an idea, they could simply combine two of the names. "How about the Unknown Order? That way we can use both your suggests." Marshpaw suggested. To him, the idea sounded splendid, since it gave the implication of secrecy, which Knotpaw was keen on, and even took one of Sunpaw's suggestions. Strangely enough, Marshpaw didn't care about what the club was named, he was just happy to have some friends. Silently, his tail tip flicked from one side to the other as his thoughts progressed. His nasty habit always happened unconsciously, making it difficult for him to even control. The tuxedo tom spared a glance at both of his friends, his gaze going towards his paws shortly after. He had a good feeling about this, and from what he could guess, this was going to be a fun ride.

[Deleted]

After Knotpaw said his idea the other two stated their ideas. First Sunpaw stated that she thought that they should be the Order then she said the Icicles of Iceclan. He smiled at the second one, which sounded kind of goofy, but he liked both of them. The Marshpaw suggested combining one of each of theirs. The Unknown Order sounded really cool. It was secretive and sounded like they made really important decisions. He nodded. "I think that sounds perfect." He smiled at his two friends, ready to figure out what kind of shenanigans they were going to do first.
