"We're going to get a coyote killed." He swished his tail and glared at the ground. Thistlestep was just like Lionstar, trying to keep him grounded, trying to keep him from doing anything worthwhile.

"Come on, Ratpaw. We've got a chance to prove ourselves. Let's not waste it." The apprentice started forward again, his footsteps sure and confident.
