~ Sparrowflight ~

Cinderpaw seemed to be the one that saved Sparrowflight from her attempts to soften the blow of the loss of their leader. Keeping her face neutral she gave Bumblepaw a nod in response to his observation. Aspenstar's leadership was cut off too soon. However, her ears swiveled towards her peer as she began her speech. Sparrowflight was pleasantly surprised at the softness shown towards Bumblepaw, however that did not excuse the harsh words stated in front of their clan as a whole.

The ghost of a frown twitched across her muzzle when she referenced the occupants of the current den as a group. Foolishness? Foolishness?! That unfamiliar fire of pride threatened to burst up once more, however her mentor's words as Nectarflame left the den pulled her back to the present and reminded her that it was not just HER dignity that had been slighted. Bumblepaw's request for a hunting lesson turned that fire down to a simmer, so Sparrowflight gave both him and her mentor a brief nod of her head.

"A hunting lesson is a grand idea," she purred, shuffling herself off to the side in preparation for a quick demonstration. "Now Bumblepaw, Cinderpaw, how much do you two already know? Could you show me your best hunting crouch?"

This would be good practice for her! She had been hoping to receive an apprentice of her own soon, so helping with a few lessons for these older apprentices should help her learn how to instruct effectively... Even if it was slightly nerve-wracking to be attempting her first lesson on front of her own teacher.
