But whatever. There was also the possibility that his 'endeavor' would be looked upon fondly. Who knew who knew who knew? Shrewstep certainly didn't, but he was also bored, so he was going to solicit the attention of the apprentices. They always seemed more energetic than the warriors, him included generally, though not today. Today Shrewstep was endeavoring to provide an opportunity for them to do something with all that ambitious energy, and prove that they were actually trying to get their training done. If they didn't take him up on it when he OFFERED, they really had no right to complain about innefectivity from their mentors.
Apprentices! It was supposed to be slightly more impressive than it ended up being, more of a loud suggestion than a commanding yowl. Then again, this wasn't a full event or anything which typically required an Enforcer or Dawnstar or Medicine Cat, so it was probably a good idea to keep the volume a little lower. If you lack battle training or simply want to get some extra practice, I'll take as many as want to come Icy Heartlands and we'll do a bit of sparring. Icy Heartlands was, in his opinion, one of the least exciting parts of the territory, and therefore the least likely to have predators or other clans pop out of nowhere. There also wasn't much prey to scare off, or many herbs to damage. All in all, the perfect place for a potentially rowdy gang of apprentices to muck about. If another warrior wanted to come along and help supervise Shrewstep wouldn't begrudge the help, but he also thought himself capable of running a lesson of some use to any apprentice on his own. It simply remained to be seen who, if anyone at all, would want to come. (OPEN!!!! Shrew'll probably head out on the 11th or 12th as long as someone's replied!)

Pigeonpaw was
restless. She was finally an apprentice now, so shouldn't that mean her mentor would train her? Sure, she had gotten a tour of the territory -but like- she wanted to do other stuff too! A part of her had been looking forward to daily training, but apparently, it was more of an I've-got-some-spare-time-so-lets-get-this-over-with-sorta thing. But today she was in luck! Becasue, despite Yelly being busy with some other bigcat-things, an opportunity just walked right into the middle of the clearing and called.
Battle training?
"Oh meee!" With a joyful bounce in her steps, the grey apprentice bounded over to Shrewstep. This was perfect.
