Rosepaw hadn't caught the commotion immediately, at least, not as quickly as she should've. She should've been there the second it happened, that's what good warriors did. Were there. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of her... friend? Charge? Trainee? Rosepaw didn't really know honestly- nor did it matter. She had been climbing?? With no help or training? No back up in case something went wrong? The russet tabby blinked at the blood, the scent of metal filling her airways as she rushed to her leader and Hollypaw- though she forced the panic creeping at the edges of her mind away.

"Hollypaw, hush, you aren't making sense." When Rosepaw told Hollypaw that her late start of to being apprenticed meant she needed to focus even more on training, she hadn't meant make dangerous decisions. Besides teaching oneself- while could be productive, wasn't necessary for such a skill. Why Hollypaw likely would've taught herself bad habits in the art- okay, the apprentice took a deep breath. "Stop moving, you'll only make it worse." She understood Bumblestar's threats- they were logical- that a cat at 10 moons old with zero training had another delay it would put them past the average graduation time. With a habit that wouldn't serve the clan well.

Rosepaw had simply hoped that she would be able help Hollypaw focus more so that she could remain in her clan like the she-cat had wanted. She had wanted to see Hollypaw become a warrior, but she didn't see unjust action from her leader, there was no reason that Rosepaw's input beyond getting Hollypaw to perhaps settle down for the time being. Maybe once poppyseeds were brought in and her wound seen to, Hollypaw would be in the proper mind to have a proper discussion regarding her place in thunderclan.
