Well, this was... interesting, to say the least. Deadpaw did not seem to like him very much at all. And to be frank, Puddlesplash wasn't quite sure why. There had only ever been one cat before who had openly disliked him, and that cat had been Pumapaw, quite a few moons ago too. Then again, she'd been more of the type of cat you'd expect to start conflicts. But Deadpaw? Based on these first few moments of interaction, Deadpaw definitely didn't strike him as the type to go around starting rivalries for no good reason. Perhaps she just needed a bit of a push in the right direction, though it was still far too early to come to a solid conclusion. Maybe by the time they were finished with their first training session today, he'd have a better idea of what his apprentice was like. "Alrighty, hunting it is. We'll head out to the territory as soon as this meeting concludes," he said, before turning away quietly to return his attention to the ongoing warrior ceremony. "Seedheart! Seedheart!" He chanted as the apprentice was declared a warrior. Hopefully, Deadpaw would make it up there someday. And it would ideally be under his training as well. As an apprentice himself, the constant changing of mentors had really slowed down the speed of his training, and he definitely didn't want any other apprentice to go through the same. Evidently, with all the reassignments, that wasn't possible, but he could at least make sure he didn't leave Deadpaw mentorless at any point.
