Feeling the weight on her pelt grow with water each step, she only hoped that she would reach the cave soon. The miserable downpour did not put as much of a damper on her mood as it seemed, however. Soon, she'd be nice and dry with her mentor, Raggedfur, in the training cave. Sighing, she trotted onwards, wondering why the journey was taking much longer than it usually did; she supposed it had to do with the rain, seeming as if it were slowing time down to a near halt and forcing her to take much longer to get to her destination. Once the opening to the cave had come into view—Thank StarClan, I wasn't going in the wrong direction!—she bounded towards it and ducked inside.

Eyes adjusting to the dimmer light, she focused on her mentor, standing near one side of the cave. "Ah. Raggedfur," she meowed, a gentle purr coursing through her body as she spoke his name. "I hope you haven't been waiting for too long. Sorry if I caused any trouble by being a little late." Laurelpaw shook her fur out, spraying water in every direction, and of course, she gave him a sheepish glance for that unplanned action. "What will we be learning today?" In a murmur, she added, "Defense, I hope?" She had never been the best at offense, and yet she never wanted to be very good, as fighting was partially against her moral code. She never liked it much. Defense, however, was something she was rather good at. Not the best by a long shot, but she was getting there. Despite not having a fondness for fighting, she hoped to be ready to defend someone at the cost of her life in a heartbeat.

{ @Mistyfoot⚜️ Sorry for kinda interrupting, its just me and pathos kinda need to rp these too }


Goldenpaw looked into the wet, damp cave. The she-cat watched the two cats talk, and felt a pang of sympathy for the young apprentice. Her mentor dragged her of training in this weather? Cruel. The warrior doesn't even look like she wants to be here. The she-cat slithered silently forward, not being seen, which was quite an achievement for a cat with a golden pelt. Her amber eyes followed the nervous apprentice, her sharp expression softening. The honey coloured cat stepped forward; with a white lie on her lips, "Sorry for interrupting, but my mentor is ill. May I join in your training session? Me and..." The she-cat thought for a moment, isn't it Laurelpaw? "laurelpaw could compare each other and work together to be better."

{ Ive just realised how manipulative Goldenpaw is. Luckily, she has morals.}
