Gracklepaw's ears perked right up as he heard his name being called. The tom padded over to the entrance of the apprentice den and poked his head out to identify Slytiger as the one that called him for training. He walked over to his mentor with a cheerful grin.
As his mentor questioned him, Gracklepaw grew a little bit embarrassed. "Uhm, everything, really. My old mentor never really took me around the territory or taught me anything. Then he just... vanished."
"I do know some hunting! But it's sloppy and unprofessional because I never really got taught." He admitted. His blue eyes flitted from his mentor to the floor, feeling shameful for his lack of training. But with Slytiger's training, hopefully he'd be able to contribute more to the Clan, besides that one patrol he'd done.

@Ian - i don't mind at all! doesn't matter to me where we no it!
Slytiger grinned back at Gracklepaw when his apprentice approached. He had been a little worried that he would be assigned one who didn't care about training or would be overly difficult, but that didn't seem to be the case. Still, his grin was replaced by a frown when Gracklepaw explained their previous mentor hadn't trained them. That just wouldn't do at all!
"Don't worry about it. We'll start with a tour of the territory and we can do some hunting while we're out if you're up for it. You'll be warrior material in no time. And this should go without saying, but I won't be offended if you get lessons from others. In fact, I even encourage it. Obviously I'm going to teach you all I can and do my best to guide you, but that doesn't mean you should pass by other opportunities to learn something new or improve your skills. The greatest warriors are the ones who are proactive," he explained, finishing his speech with another grin before beckoning Gracklepaw to follow with a flick of his tail as he headed for the camp entrance.
"We'll start with Shadow's Break since we shouldn't hunt there and go from there."
[feel free to post with Grackle at Shadow's Break if you want! i also apologize for the delay, i have a group paper and presentation for a final and my wifi provider had an outage over the weekend T-T]
