"The first question I have is is it hard to be an apprentice. I heard it can be difficult. I just hope it won't be too difficult. Also does an apprentice have to go in battle to become a warrior. It kind of scares me to think about it.", she meowed. Pondkit heard many stories and it frightened her a bit.

Such a curious kit, so many questions, and very good ones at that.
Dimhazel tilts their head as they thought. It had actually been awhile since they were an apprentice, but they didn't remember it being too terribly difficult, actually. They'd quickly grapsed the training that was required once it was explained to them, but they supposed they could see why some might think it difficult. Had they not had the lovely mentor they'd be assigned to, things would have been much more difficult for them.
"Not terribly so. The training is simple to grasp, I found, but everyone is different. It would also depend on your mentor, but overall, I don't believe you should have too many troubles when you become an apprentice yourself. You have quite a bright mind, no doubt you'll catch on."
They took a moment to think about her other question. Although they have seen apprentices participate in real battles, they were almost always much older and more skilled. They'd never seen a fresh faced apprentice be knowingly sent to fight.
"Only ever the much older apprentices, but at their request usually. A fresh apprentice would be a hindrance in battle and not worth risking the loss. You do not have to worry about being sent before you are ready."
When no more questions came, they glanced away and back at Pondkit to force their attention to stay focused on the conversation in case she had anymore questions.
"Anything else you would like to ask? You are not intruding, so do not feel that you must hold back."
