I'm pretty average and I'm hoping to be rather proficient at it one day." he meowed, warm tone encompassing his words. He took a quick bite of his catch to try and hide the grin that was on the verge of coming out. he didn't want her to think he was weird.
After the she-cat spoke again, his eyes lit up in diluted glee. "I'm very glad you like it!" he quickly said, giving her a charming closed-eye smile. He ducked his head to begin eating his meal again. The silence that followed afterward was rather comfortable.
The quiet scene didn't last long as Creekflow piped up to ask a question not too long after, "I know this question my be a bit strange but I'm in need of some advice..." he began, "Do you think you could give me some pointers on how to efficiently train an apprentice? I'm pretty new to this mentor business and was hoping to get some advice from someone who's done this before... I understand if not though! I was just wondering..." |
Lotusheart's big moon-like eyes stared at him and she burst out laughing. It was her loud, booming, hearty laugh. When she finally settled down she took a few deep breath and quickly fumbled out the explanation in case she had offended him.
"I definitely do want to help you and will. Training an apprentice is no easy feat so feel free to ask anything you want. The reason I laughed is because I've had 2 apprentices and a friend of mine recently asked me the same thing, so I feel like some sort of mentoring expert. I know Lionstar has had so many but for some reason it feels like the universe is pushing me to become the ultimate mentor or something. I'm sorry if my laughter came out as weird. "she replied, her pale yellow eyes looking apologetically. She shuffled her paws nervously. Great job, Lotusheart, you brute! You're so insensitive!
