A lot had been happening with Honeycomb lately, no doubt. Stress was one word that came to mind-- relaxation wasn’t really an option for her, but she knew that already. Returning to the training caves as a mentor was just a way to quell her raging thoughts, and Starclan knew how much she needed to do that. Personal encounters were personal, and Honeycomb wasn’t thinking much of them as she usually used to. There had been moons for hurting, and there were moons for figuring herself out. These ones would have to fit the latter.

Relearning how to be a part of a relationship unit was one of the things she would have had to have done a long time ago, and becoming a mentor was just… one of those things that couldn’t’ve been avoided. There was another generation surging forwards into the open world in Riverclan, as there was always. She would grow by aiding another to do the same, which was why she was sitting around in these rather claustrophobic tunnels.

The dripping of water only told her of the passing time, and couldn’t inform her of her own empty stomach, but it would be rude to catch something to eat now. She had another mouth to feed… sort-of. Shivering slightly, she stared into the dark, waiting.
Sablepaw watched their mentor, occasionally shuddering. The calico wasn’t a big fan of the training caves, that much was obvious to even the most oblivious cat. The tunnels were chilly and damp, the stone was unmoving and dark, seeming as if the walls were mocking Sablepaw for hiding who they were for so long. And then, of course, the dripping from the ceiling, especially when the cold liquid splashed on Sable’s tri-colored fur. “Honeycomb, ma’am,” they said quietly, ”May I ask what we are going to be working on today?”

“oh, um.” honeycomb hadn’t expected their arrival, especially considering the amount of time it had taken for the small feline to arrive. “i do believe i brought you here for battle training. there’s no--” here, she coughed rather politely, ducking her head to excuse herself. “no good reason to be here when the weather’s good outside, other than the specialised training you’ll get in these caves, of course.”

honeycomb could say she loved kittens and apprentices alike, but the truth of the matter was that they oft simply didn’t understand her futile attempts to explain all her thoughts and advice, especially when they were in excruciating detail. her only reason for this whole endeavor was the advice of an old friend coming back somewhat late, but no matter. simply letting the cavewater settle into her pelt, she nodded, almost as if the tricolour enby had asked another unheard question.

“for starters, there’s no reason to call me ma’am. i’d say i’m not that much older than you, but we both know that’s a barefaced lie. while i remain your mentor, i’d like to say that i may be a teacher, but i have no semblance of true power over you. i’m no big authority figure, sablepaw. in fact, i’d prefer you simply call me honey. no discomfort, alright?” getting up onto all fours, she stretched leisurely, before plodding around the calico, olive-green eyes searching her apprentice for any signs of strength.

“i can tell you don’t like it here. i don’t either, but this is the way things are. would you care to strike a single blow, just for the sake of warming up?”

Rushingwater raced to the Training Cave, not wanting Laurelpaw to wait any longer than they had to. Gah, I probably messed up already! She thought to herself, crossly. Shaking her head a little in a way to clear her thoughts. Like shaking rain out of the cloud. The she-cat molly stop in front of the entrance, panting as she try to catch her breath. So, she may have a apprentice and no idea of how to do it. She should have suspected one sooner or later but what, what if the apprentice got killed because of her? Ah, she was overthinking again. Rushingwater lift her head, "Okay. I can do this! I just, lets start off with battle training. I mean, hunting would be better to start off with but.. the war and all Laurelpaw should be prepared just a bit!" She spoke to herself, keeping her voice because she didn't need cats questioning her sanity. Rushingwater step into the training cave, her tail flickering. She had told her apprentice to go into the Training Cave and they would meet them there. "Laurelpaw? I decided we should do battle training! After all, the war and aaalllll. Better to know some!" She spoke very quickly like normal, smiling widely at them. The small she-cat eyes shined brightly, even if she was worried- she was excited. Beyond excitement. Rushingwater knew she wasn't the best fighter or hunter but still, she was going to do her best.

Sablepaw nodded sagely, their eyes watching Honeycomb intently. "Yes Ma'- Honeycomb." Their eyes, though usually soft and knowledgeable, held a sharp glint that was unusual to the cat themselves. They weren't prone to fighting, much preferring to keep to themselves, but when they had to the fighting was taken very seriously. Therefore, she was focused, prepared, calculating. With a quick and fluid movement, Sablepaw slunk closer to Honeycomb and struck at her back legs.

Laurelpaw has tried to wake up early. But then again she was so used to sleeping in and sleeping late. She had even asked one of the other apprentices to wake her up when they went with their mentor to attend the dawn patrol. She had gotten up, awake and functioning. But it wasn’t as good as usual. She was drowsy and tired. Her green hues blinked slowly and she seemed to drag on. Now here she was in the training cave, waiting for her mentor. She was impressed that she had gotten here early, especially after her late start. She sat to the side wall and looked over the area. She figured that she would be spending a lot of time in here so it was good to get acquainted with the area. She kneaded the ground below her, anxious to start. She was excited, even if she didn’t necessarily look that way. It would just take some time for her to warm up. She flicked her ears back and heard an approaching cat. The molly turned her head and smiled at the site of her mentor. She pushed herself into a standing position and walked forwards to greet her mentor. She stifled a yawn, not letting Rushingwater see how tired she was. “Battle training? Yes! I want to help fight against the other clans. Though I was told I should stay out of stuff like that. But I’m sure you know all about fighting right? What with all the battles and all.” she chirped happily. She was excited and hopefully her voice portrayed that, because her tired body wasn’t.

Rushingwater stifled a chuckle, she remembered her first day of being a apprentice. Her mentor was so mad that she almost spelt the whole day. While running does wear cats out, imagine someone who is almost rushing and running. She easily fall asleep each day. So, Rushingwater didn't blame her for being tired. She knew that their would probably be some times where even Rushingwater slept in. Then become embarrass and start to apologize way too much. She nodded, trying to act at least one bit mature. She was happy to see her apprentice's excitement for training. "Well, we are gonna start off with defense moves and maybe, just maybe a offensive move or two. Who knows, maybe you will get to use what you learn in a battle soon. ( hopefully not to Rushingwater's worry. ) Erm, I can't say I know everything but I know enough!" Rushingwater meowed, confident. She knew enough to train Laurelpaw. She rolled her shoulders back a little. "Lets say your in a tight situation, you can play dead. let your body go limp and when the attacker lets go, jump up and surprise them. You should either flee or attack the moment you can with the moment of surprise in paw. Why don't you try it? Unless you need me to show it to you." She half-joked. "I'll be the attacker, mk?"

Laurelpaw flicked her tail, attempting to keep her body moving enough that she could sake the tired from her body. She needed to wake up, because a sleepy warrior wouldn't get very far in a battle. She listened intently to Rushingwater's instructions. Okay, sneak attacks and surprises. Sounded good enough, though the young molly knew that surprises weren't everything, but as Rushingwater had said, they were useful. "Okay I think I got it." She said slowly, thinking over something she could do. A small smile curled on her maw and she backed away from her mentor. She would try and fight a bit and then fake something. She wouldn't just automatically fake something, that wasn't how it worked. Or at least she thought. "No claws...right?" she asked for reassurance.

Rushingwater didn't know what was going on in her apprentice's mind, sometimes she wished she did. Well, wish that she could read cat's minds. It would be fairly interesting. Not to mention helpful. She seem lost in thought for a second, she look back at her apprentices before remembering what she was doing. "Good!" She meowed, nodding. "No claws, keep them sheathed." She answered her question. Rushingwater doubt that in training they with used unsheathed claws. It was dangerous and unneeded injuries for Juniperpaw. Plus, all the cats would think she was a horrible mentor! Rushingwater would never want that, she wouldn't bare to have someone have those thoughts. She unsheathed and sheathed her claws. Nodding, she got in a battle stance. Ready to leap at Laurelpaw any minute she said she was ready. "Just tell me when your ready, okay? Then I'll attack." Even if in battle you never can be fully ready. She thought, focusing her attention all on Laurelpaw now.

Laurelpaw let her front paws slip forwards on the dirt covered floor of the cave. She arched her back slightly and playfully waved her tail. The Angora mix was excited that their first training session was battle training. It was everything a kit imagined when looking forwards to apprenticeship. A kit didn’t think about chores or cleaning the elders den. Or picking out ticks and replacing bedding. No kit thought about that. They thought about being warriors and leaders, about battles and fights, bravery and pride. Now she was getting to learn that. Hopefully her parents were watching, though the further it went in the less faith she had that they actually were watching. She took on her fighting stance and lashed her tail one final time before parting her maw to speak clearly

“I’m ready.”

Rushingwater couldn't express how worried she was, she probably reeked of it. She never been given a apprentice, she didn't have much talents other than her running. When would that be useful in training? She didn't know how to show tricks or how she did it. She just did. Rushingwater could always ask Fallenstar to give Laurelpaw a better mentor. Suddenly her stance seem to become tenser, a lot of times when she sat still or just being still she starts to worry. She overthought thinks a bunch of times. Rushingwater blinked before nodding to Laurelpaw but didn't jump just yet. Don't mess up, don't mess up. Its just a apprentice, Rushingwater. Your apprentice. Your train her just fine! The she-cat told herself. Without a moment to waste, she sprang up from the ground. Heading for Laurelpaw, her jaws parted. Rushingwater was small and she could easily control how much force she put on a attack. She was aiming for Laurelpaw's scuff obviously so when she did get ahold of it Laurelpaw could play dead.
