Sharpclaw - The Grumpy One
ThunderClan | Warrior | He/Him | 13 moons

Sharpclaw didn't have to turn around to notice his new apprentice already tripping over herself. He sighed heavily through his nose, eyes squeezed shut as the she-paw began to speak. What did she just say? His head was... average-sized? What did that even mean? Was she calling him stupid?!

The sandy warrior opened his mouth to scold the little brat when she suddenly turned and whipped her bushy tail in his face. He sputtered through a muzzle of lynx-pointed fur before swatting the offending tail away. "Listen here brat, I'll take ya trainin' when I'm good 'n ready!"

"But first," he curled his lip, exposing a white fang, "Ya need to learn yourself how to walk. How can ya expect to be a decent warrior when ya keep trippin' on your own two paws?" He took a moment to glare at said paws before looking back up at her, amber eyes narrowing. "And learn yourself some manners while you're at it!" With that he turned away, tail lashing silently behind him as he took his original seat, ears focused on what Bumblestar had to say.

It sounded like two Hornet positions were up for grabs. Sharpclaw never thought much about ranking up. He was quite satisfied playing his role as a warrior and didn't see the point in trying to go the extra mile. Then he heard a bunch of idiots shouting, no, begging to be made a Hornet. He was definitely surprised to hear Ghostpaw ask for the role as well. He shook his head in a mixture of disbelief and disappointment.

Those morons couldn't wait until after the meeting? Obviously, Bumblestar wouldn't pick a replacement right then and there without even interviewing them first. And if she did then Sharpclaw would have to rethink if she was such the right pick for leader. He couldn't stand the idea of some dumbass being made a high rank just because they asked nicely for it. That position had to be earned. He didn't want another Cough- Alderstep useless, lazy idiot to be given such an honorable title.

He decided right then that he would give Bumblestar a visit after the meeting. It couldn't hurt to try and offer himself as a potential candidate- if only to prevent some other mouse brain from filling the spot. Maybe then others would see him for more than just some grouch. He ought to do more to provide for his clan than just hunt, patrol, sleep, repeat anyways. He did the same thing all day every day and it was time for a dang change! He made a note in his mind to visit the leader when she was available. He wasn't one to interrupt a meeting unless it was important, unlike a few certain loudmouths.

A striped ear swiveled in Wildtwist's direction. What was he pulling his tail about? Apprentices couldn't leave the camp without a warrior chaperone anyway so there'd be no need to send a whole patrol to look after them. The apprentice would have to be dumber than rocks to fall into a hole that big anyways. He shot a side-eyed glance at his apprentice again. He grimaced, imagining her tumbling straight into one of those holes as soon as she caught sight of one. If she were dumb enough for that to happen though she was on her own. He wasn't going to just jump on in and rescue her for her to fall right back in again.

Just then another cat shouted out within the clearing. Some tabby apprentice this time. His ear twitched, and he brought a paw up to rub at his head. All this yelling was going to give him a serious headache later. He was ready for this dang meeting to end. Bumblestar had asked the clan if they had any questions. He sure as hell didn't. Sharpclaw grumbled quietly to himself, waiting for Bumblestar to address the group of idiots that decided to nominate themselves right in the middle of the meeting.
