While the tom didn't like the fact that he was eating the poor animal, he had always made sure that he enjoyed the meal, regardless of if he liked the fact that the animal was killed or not because other than that, it would be a heartless waste of life, at least in his eyes. Strangely enough he was much more sympathetic to the prey animals than other cats, he more often than not had an extremely negative view on others and really had no problem during battle training because of it. He held a secret resentment to the feline race both because of his past and because of how ruthless he believes they kill the poor relatively defenseless prey. But he didn't let others know this and he didn't show it, he just let others believe he was just naturally good at battling.

A tiny flicker of a smile appeared on his muzzle as she apologized, a small sign to show that it was okay and there was no reason to apologize. After the she-cat had introduced herself, the tom shifted his weight a bit, his gaze focused on his paws momentarily before he realized it would be better to look at her in the face as he introduced himself. "The um, the pleasure is mine Nightpool. I am Ibisprowl." That small flicker of a smile showed on his lips again before he was sheepishly looking back at his paws before looking at the half-eaten frog they were sharing, waiting for the elder to take the next bite.
"Hm? Oh, yes, I-I.. I agree." The young warrior said in his best attempt at a pleasant tone, though it was shaky and still rather whispery, but that's simply how he spoke.
His black ears swiveled slightly at her question and shortly after that, her small statement, the black and white tom deciding that it was a good time to chuckle, knowing that this usually added to the 'pleasant tone' of a conversation, his stub of a tail flicking a bit. "Actually yes, I recently got one. H-Her name is um.. Sweetpaw. I can see why she was named that." He said the last part a bit quieter, perhaps a hint of guilt in his voice? Or it was nothing at all, it was hard to tell.

I should keep the conversation going. Cats don't like it when there's silence. They find it awkward and end up wanting to leave. His right ear flicked a bit as he thought before licking his lips and looking over at the ebony elder.
"I-I know this may sound like a silly question.. But did.. Did you ever have an apprentice? Or did you have several?" Ibisprowl figured if they were on the topic he may as well reflect the question back to her. She looked like a seasoned warrior, perhaps even an elder, perhaps she had had several apprentices in her life. It was a thought he was not looking forward to, but would have to deal with nonetheless.

"Ibisprowl," parroted Nightpool, her lips pursing into a smile. She nodded swiftly, trying the name. "I do indeed like it. It's very smooth, and... well, I couldn't have chosen a better name myself." Nightpool's compliments flowed like a velvety stream, although they weren't robotic. She pawed at the ground for a while, not wanting to bore the tom. She looked up, blinking her viridescent eyes. She listened to all he had to say, with an abiding attentiveness. Her teeth were unpigmented in the line of her jaws, smooth and careful. She licked a paw.

As he continued with a stammering agreement screening his nervousness (albeit not very well), Nightpool let out a soft laugh. It wasn't mocking, but it was compliant and friendly. She settled herself into the patch, noting how politely Ibisprowl refrained from mentioning how senile she appeared. It was no secret that she would be retired by this time. She purred at him, finding it nice to be enunciating antics with another cat every now and then.

As Ibisprowl mentioned his own apprentice, Sweetpaw, she could hear the affection in his voice. She nodded, finding that he would make a good mentor to her. Her pelt shimmered in the sunlight, a velutinous, black mass of soft, downy fur. The apertures of her greenish-gold eyes fluoresced, excited by the radiance of the sun, rays thinning into a torrent of beautiful, auriferous light.

She heard his question, and replied immediately, not wanting to keep him waiting. "Why, yes," she meowed. "I mentored Beepaw, Dapplepaw, Dovepaw, and Brindlepaw." Nightpool looked proud for herself for training to many apprentices, but her expression changed from sublime and conceited to normal, in the span of a heartbeat. She flattened her fur, shyly looking to one side. "Sorry," she said. She cleansed her teeth, by swiping her pinkish tongue over her tapered chops. She looked up at Ibisprowl once more, contrite for her previous behaviour.

Wildpaw layed her head down. She shifted until she was compterble. Wildpaw pawed her tail closer, a long with more moss. She was growing hungry, and her mouth was dry. She glanced over at Elmkit. She could ask the kit to get her food. But would that make her week? No, she couldn't walk, she broke her spine so she was already weak. "Elmkit, since Kestrelberry is busy, could you get me some prey please? Kestrelberry would be thankful." She purred. The cream she shifted once more, gathering some moss from her pelt.

Elmkit nodded" Okay! Any specific types of prey?" (I'm really struggling with ANGLISH RN)

Wildpaw shifted, her ears flicked. "No no dear, just anything really." She purred. Wildpaw stretched her front paws out. She was comfortable in her new environment now. As the herbs began to kick in, she slowly became sleepy. But the smal feeling of hunger kept her up. She lifted her muzzle, waiting for Elmkit to fetch her prey. Her eyes were heavy, but she couldn't sleep without a inch of prey in her belly.

Elmkit darted out of the den to fetch prey and dropped a toad on the ground," Here's a frog." I've heard it's a well loved food in Shadowclan I've heard."

Wildpaw looked over at the corner of her eye. It was still prey at least. Wildpaw used her claws to peel the tough skin off, she chewed a small bite. Wildpaw managed to gulp it down. The She-cat tore off a few more bites, eating those too. Her spine still hurt in the middle, but she couldn't feel down from that spot. The spot felt tight, she just wish someone would make the pain go away. She wished someone could make her feel better. Wildpaw pawed her tail over her nose, she curled her self up. Yelping when she moved her spine. The herbs helped her sleep, but hardly took away any of the pain. "Good night..Kestrelberry..Elmkit.." She slowly feel asleep. The dreams retreated from her mind.

Elmkit wished Wildpaw a goodnight and glanced at Kestrelberry," May I help you tomorrow, after I rest?"

"Got it." Remember that!"So what's next, Squirrelleap?' he mewed.

Tail lashing and head lowered slightly with each painful step. "I don't want you to waste precious time on a sore paw, I simply wanted it seen too. If you are busy with everyone else I'm sure I can do other things then physical contribution" she added briskly. Then turning she faced him, a concerned look crossed her eyes. She examined wildpaw from where she sat, crippled. A sympathetic look crossed her eyes even though wildpaw wasn't looking in her direction. She could never be a medicne cat, not with all the sorrow surrounding the job.

"No no! Its fine! A sore paw isn't wasting my time." Curling his tail over his back, Kestrelberry looked at the molly. "I'm still getting used to my new role, its fine. Thank you though... that means alot to me." Smiling at the molly. Bringing his eyes down to her paw, he touched it lightly with his own paw. "Theres no visible wounds.." Bringing the paw up to look at her pawpads, nothing seemed to bad either. Maybe its sprained? Kestrelberry looked up at Shiverlight. "You're pretty lucky, I don't believe its that bad. It appears to be sprained, so i'll wrap it up to keep it still and heal properly. You can still walk and go out, but you have to be very careful." Turning around, he quickly retrieved the herbs, and settled down. He held a small stick he had set aside, and wrapped bindweed and cobwebs around it. "Tell me if something happens, mmkay?" Turning around to Elmkit, he nodded and purred. "Definitely, you were a big help today."
