He shook his short mane in response," Kestrelpaw-my seven moon old apprentice is a good hunter- okay not amazing, as she keeps dragging her tail while in the hunters crouch, but she is able to catch prey, and she has good balance on trees, she says it's because her grandmother was a kittypet and they climb creepers (fences), well they walk on creepers (fences) more like. She is a natural climber." He purred," I've just started teaching her defense, and she's struggling, saying why not just make a truce between all the clans, and the syndicate, and I have to explain to her, that I am not clan leader or deputy, and that the Syndicate would back out on it, the other clans might announce they are breaking it at times, and we need to be able to defend ourselves against, foxes, badgers, and other dangers, such as the Dark Forest." His spine shivered rememebering the battle against the Dark Forest," Bubblebreeze and Geckospine were much more distracted than her, but had less questions, each apprentice is different. For example, Bubblebreeze was bubbly, and always full of energy, and never wanted to go to sleep, and was up waking me up in time for dawn patrol every day, while Geckospine was shy and quite, and also lazy and a late sleeper. Then there's Kestrelpaw she's full of questions, she has a normal amount of energy, and likes to sleep in some, but not excessively." He meowed.

Nighthowl watched the other tom with his attentive gaze. His tail flicked back and forth in a rhythmic pattern and slowly circled a paw in the dry dirt. She sounded like a good apprentice to him: attentive and skillful, but she also seemed a little bright. Making friends with the other clans? With the Dusk Syndicate?! that was one of the most mouse-brained ideas he had ever heard. Nighthowl gave a small snort.
"Well, she seems pretty good for an apprentice." He meowed grudgingly, staring across the clearing, lost in though. Willowpetal reminded him of the lively apprentice. Or atleast, Cucumberprickle made it seem that way. His tail flicked once as he looked back at the SkyClan tom cat.
"So," he meowed, drawing a paw over his black ear. "You had two apprentices already?"

Nighthowl finished grooming and let out a sigh. Sometimes he wished he could have an apprentice of his own, but he was sure that it wouldn't go over well. If the cat was nice, he would worry about crushing it's spirit, and if he or she was wild and obnoxious, they would spend their life as an apprentice that cleaned the elders den so much they got tired of having them there.

Nighthowl flicked his ears, unsure of how to keep the conversation going. He was never a good socialist, and preferred to do something rather than talk. He always felt pressured to say something interesting and that made him feel like the awkwardness he really was instead of the prickliness that hid him.

Cucumberpickle nodded," Don't worry, I'm sure you'll receive an apprentice eventually." He meowed as he gave a stretch feeling good and enjoying the conversation.

Nighthowl gave a moody shrug. That is highly unlikely. The old tom cat thought as he drew one sharp claw through the dirt. He speared a small green leaf on the claw and watched as liquid seeped from the puncture. He would never get an apprentice, but it was probably for the better. SkyClan needed good, wise warriors to teach new ones, and he may be strong, but he certainly wasn't wise. He ought to do something, instead of gossiping around like an old queen, but he wasn't sure what. Maybe he would patrol or something helpful like that later.

"What now?" he grumbled, stepping out into the clearing again. When he saw Devious, his eyes narrowed. "Ah, it's the kit-witted warrior again," he remarked snidely. Then he noticed that the cat was standing on one paw. "Oh what did you go and do?" he asked with a sigh, shuffling up to the warrior and taking the favored paw in his own as he looked it over.
