[Boarpaw]

{$title} Having overheard the goings-on within the clan, a band of too-young Thunderclan cats leave the camp alone to seek herbs from around Fourtrees to try and help. Thunderclan cats seek to find their missing young, and other clan cats stumble upon the strange sight of kittens having left the safety of camp.

————————————— The melody sings what the words can't say. ✦

The apprentice hummed a little song absently, walking slowly with his friends at his side. None of them had headed out of camp like this, but it was important! He planned to leave alone, but Hopekit had noticed and worried about him going out of camp all by himself, and Rattlekit asked sweetly if they could too! And well, he couldn't say no! It was fun after all, an adventure with a friend, an important one too.

"We're looking for the pretty red flowerths, remember!" He chirped, sniffing around, he only knew what poppies were cause Serpentberry gave just a few to Icekit to help with their paw when they first came to Thunderclan. He hadn't had the chance to go training or anything with his mentor yet, cause she wasn't feeling well, so Boarpaw wanted to help. That's what a good apprentice does after all.

Though there was a pang of nervousness, constantly looking to the smaller kittens. He had only just been apprenticed, and he felt like he towered over his friends. It only made his resolve to keep them safe stronger, as if he didn't have an ounce of training to keep any of them safe. But that was fine, no one would be senseless enough to attack an apprentice and kittens.

But as the three carried on forward, they made it to the huge trees, Fourtrees, ones he had only heard in passing from the other cats. "Woah..." He sniffed the air, it was nothing like Thunderclan now, but instead a weird muddle of scents he couldn't pinpoint. It was strange, but the place was almost awe-inspiring.

"Didn't your familieths uthse to live here?" He wondered aloud, looking to his friends with a tilt of the head. Everything that had happened here preceded all of them, so it was strange to stand there not knowing truly what happened. Especially to himself, he had no ties to Thunderclan except the kindness of them to take them in, but he was so woven into the clan with friends and a mentor, it wasn't like he was wholly outside of it anymore.

But with every rustle of leaves, the muddling of strange scents, and the pressure of keeping Rattle and Hope safe, quickly did the nerves began to writhe within the apprentice. For a moment, there was a dread that he may have acted wrong. Maybe they should head back?..

No, no, if they did, they'd get in more trouble since it just looked like they snuck out for no reason! If they came back with poppies or something, they couldn't be mad. He nodded with that resolve, digging his nose into some random plant. Boar had no idea what most of them did, so if he found a nice-smelling on,e that should be good enough.
