[ @Luna16 — Hemlockleaf ]

The cheers echoed into the air—and Mintkit’s eyes fluttered. Oh. My. Stars. Had she fallen asleep? Mintkit—no, Mintpaw carefully blinked the sleep from her eyes, stood and scanned the clearing. There! Mintpaw padded cheerfully across the clearing, feeling grown up and so damn awesome. “Hi there! I’m your new apprentice. Mintpaw! Nice to see you. Quick questions, okay? How old are you? Have you had an apprentice before? Do you have a mate? Kits? What are we learning first? Do you know how to get involved in a crazy murder plot? Oh! And when do we start?” she asked, peering up at Hemlockleaf, then jumped up and bonked her wet nose on her new mentor’s.

Oh wait. Mintpaw turned back to the meeting. Midnightpaw still stood there, Dawnstar standing over her. One day I will stand up there, and look as proud as that she-cat. she thought.”oh yeah. By the way, I ask a lot of questions.” Mintpaw smiled mischievously at Hemlockleaf.

Hemlockleaf

Hemlockleaf sat straighter when he heard his name called, a little surprised that he was assigned an apprentice but also honored to train the next generation of warriors. This was one of the greatest duties a warrior could fulfill. He turned to Mintpaw and touched noses with his new apprentice, but it wasn't long that he wondered if this was something he could actually handle. Dawnstar would not have assigned me this apprentice without good reason. He reminded himself. He decided to take each question one at a time.

"It is my pleasure to be your mentor." He meowed cooly, careful not to disturb the rest of the meeting. "I am a younger warrior, so you are my first apprentice. I do not have a mate or kits yet." He thought carefully before answering the next question. "I will have to speak with Ravenheart before proceeding, a lot of trainings may be done as a group to comply with Dawnstar's rule. But we'll probably start with a tour of the territory." He remembered the tour being where his mentor had started, and how excited he was to explore ShadowClan territory for the first time.

Hemlockleaf wondered what that mischievous glint in Mintpaw's eyes was about, but he figured he'd learn sooner or later. He blinked warmly at her for now. "Having questions is a sign of a sharp mind." He answered. "I am your mentor now. Part of my role is to answer your questions as best as I can." Great StarClan he could tell right away he was going to regret saying that. "Let's pay attention to the rest of the meeting for now though." He flicked his tail to where Midnightpaw's ceremony was taking place.
