Thornpaw's ears perked up as he heard Lynxshade's voice yowling out, his head immediately lurching up to swivel and look in the direction of the warrior. In a wild desperation to get over there before most of the other apprentices, the lanky young tom practically tripped over his own paws before scampering over and sitting near the front of the group. His eyes were hungry, he wanted to learn, and he wanted to be
better than the others. If there were any apprentices not going to this? He'd be sure to rub his swimming abilities in their faces.
"Why isn't there an apprentice race huh? Are you too scared that I'll beat everyone and someone will go home crying to their mommy?" His voice yowled up to Lynxshade with a small lash of his tail. He wanted the chance to get a prey of his choice too.
In the end it obviously wouldn't matter if there was a race for apprentices or not, he was going to learn how to swim one way or another. Flexing his claws impatiently into the wet earth, he'd look towards the camp entrance, ready to go bounding out after Lynxshade when it was time to go.
