They looked around, looking for either Gingerfrost or Pikestar and their eyes landed on Gingerfrost first. They quietly padded over to the large deputy, gently poking him, giving him a moment before they raised their paws to start signing, "Hello Gingerfrost, I was wondering if you could help me out...my mentor went missing and I haven't been able to get any training." Once they said that they settled all of their paws back on the ground.

While the young deputy remained within camp, busying himself with disposing of rotten pray and verifying it's surroundings, he now began to shift closer to the clearing's centre to be within plain view. It shouldn't be long any more before patrols were to start reporting back, so he was readying himself for that. His was mildly distracted, thinking back on some past events and wondering how Cattail Pond was looking at this moment, when a light poke to his side pulled his intention downwards.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a warrior reporting back from patrol early, with excellent results. On the contrary, it was one of their apprentices - Cicadapaw. And it looked like she had something important to say. Turning his head to face this apprentice, Gingerfrost quirked a light cat brow, gaze soon being caught by the movements of her paws. Was that...?
For a moment, Gingerfrost was uncertain what to do. Right, yes. Cicadapaw had always been rather silent, he just never bothered to look into why. Could she.. Not talk? Whatever it was, it caused these paw movements that the ginger tabby had to observe with precise concentration and care.

And, admittedly, it wasn't easy. He'd... Seen a worse case before, but that little kit had been very expressive in body language. This was just paws. But.. Nope. Nope. He could figure this out. Staring intently as Cicadapaw, her expressions, her paw movements... It meant something.

Hm? Something about.. Mentors (and a greeting, that one had been easy). And, missing..? Ah. He could see where this was going. Help and what he had to assume meant training, were his final clues to putting together what the younger feline might mean - and for a brief moment, his nose scrunched up. He hated hearing of failing mentors.

"I'll be sure to inform Pikestar."
..Could she even hear? Hopefully. Still, he was careful to articulate clearly this once, in case the apprentice practiced lip reading (he really needed to get to know his clan mates better).
"..It's good that you came to see me." Too little apprentices did that; he couldn't have eyes everywhere "I can take you out tomorrow."
With a subtle nod, it was more of a semi-hesitant suggestion than a statement.
