[[Double trainingggggggg c:]]
The sunlight illuminated a mottled pelt as a figure brushed into the training cave, wide tail sweeping to the side as he entered. Patches of white glowed as if from an internal light source, polished to perfection by a sandpaper tongue, hoping to make a respectable first impression on his new apprentice. What good was mentoring if your apprentice didn't respect you, anyways? And Crowfoot knew the cost of disrespect- it had been directly against his orders for Rainpaw to enter the water, but he did it anyway, and look where that had gotten him. Drowned, probably at the bottom of the river somewhere. And now he had another apprentice- one who'd been a terrible decision to assign him. Not only his greatest enemy's daughter, but one who looked just like her, albeit her eyes were a golden-amber. Beepaw was sweet, though- he wasn't sure how, but she was. A slight sigh escaping his mouth, the tom turned to look at his young apprentice. "We'll be learning fighting tactics today," the tom told her with a slight smile tugging at his mouth. "Strategies only- no moves just yet, but those will come later, don't worry."

Rainpaw raced in, panting slightly as he bounced on his paws. Russetswirl- his new mentor- would be teaching him something today. He wasn't really sure what yet, but he was sure it would be something. Crowfoot was in here too, with a cat who seemed to be his apprentice, but for once, Rainpaw didn't pay much attention to him. The tom was one of the few cats he disliked- trying to take Aukstrike's place as Birchstep's mate was, in his eyes, unforgivable. Today, though, he was excited enough to let that fact remain outside his thoughts. He was just so
excited to learn what Russetswirl was going to teach him. Redsplash, his old mentor, had taught him how to fish, mostly- but in a really weird way, in his opinion, because she was blind, and probably didn't do things the same way as everyone else. He was distraught when he heard of her death, but it did make way for a new opportunity- training with Russetswirl, who was super nice! With the thought, he jumped a bit, grin plastered onto his face. "I want to learn everything!" he said eagerly, turning to face his mentor. "Let's go!"
