~ TULIPPAW OF WINDCLAN ~
After clearing out the nine bad pieces of prey and washing her paws off as best she could, Tulippaw went over to Fallownose. Her fur was immaculate, as always, and she appeared both as sweet as the flower-scent that clung to her pelt and rather proud of herself. Upon reaching the deputy, she gave him a respectful dip of her head before launching into the report. She couldn't wait to tell him all about how responsible she'd been, and about how awful Nightheart was at teaching!
"Nightheart and I went to the Sky Glade to hunt rabbits. Hawkblaze hasn't taught me how to hunt yet, so Nightheart tried to." Tulippaw's formal, sweet voice changed a bit as her pretty pink nose wrinkled slightly.
"She failed miserably and taught me all the wrong techniques! Keep in mind that I hadn't been taught anything when she chased a rabbit in my direction and told me to catch it. I wasn't able to, of course, but that was her fault, not mine."
Tulippaw took a deep breath to calm herself and continued, keeping her voice formal but not hiding her scorn,
"She then made me try to catch another rabbit by once again scaring some toward me instead of actually teaching me how to catch them myself. And I caught one! But it was all me, not her. As ashamed as I am to admit it, all I did was make a wild leap and sink my teeth into its neck rather sloppily. But I made the best with the horrible teacher I'd been assigned to and came back here to report. Nightheart should be back soon." The apprentice's ears twitched.
"I know I sound harsh, but I would never dare speak so rudely about another warrior without good reason. But I was wondering, with all due respect, if she could get an assessment so someone could see how good her hunting techniques are? She seemed a little... backward." That much was true.
Tulippaw took a step back, not leaving but giving Fallownose more room.
"Oh, and I cleaned out the bad pieces of prey from the pile. My rabbit's the only one on there. Hopefully, the other hunting patrols have a good catch." With that, the calico waited to see if Fallownose would reply, and wondered what he would say about Nightheart.
