"RunningShadow, huh? That's a cool name! It suits you too, cause of your dark fur you would look like a running shadow at a glance." GoldenPaw liked the sort of names that created an image in her head. The tom didn't seem like the talkative type but that's fine, the apprentice probably talks enough for both of them. "Hey, do you know any good places for collecting trinkets? I'm on the look out for some pretty feathers at the moment but another shiny rock or two wouldn't hurt." GoldenPaw loves collecting things but she didn't know the territory very well which is.. less than ideal for a apprentice her age.

Runningshadow listened as Goldenpaw described how his name fit him.
He supposed the apprentice had a point, but he really didn't think about it much.
Their ear then twitches as she asked about trinkets. "Not really." He answered "Not much of a collector. You could probably pick feathers off prey or something."
Not that it was important to him, but he supposed he should probably offer something in reply.
Rosepaw, yes paw, had a duty to the felines of Thunderclan. One that she was serious about upholding and that was, making sure that everyone was successful in their duty to Thunderclan and important still, to make sure her felines are doing well. Both of these failed on a certain cat, one she had to drag into being a proper there for her own ceremony. A concern. Hollypaw- and sureeee, maybe she had told the very same cat to scram for making Poppykit’s passing about her- but in Rosepaw’s defense!!
She was running on emotions and none of them were good. Her brother had died suddenly, and even now thinking about it made her want to question everything. What she could’ve done- why she hadn’t noticed something wrong- why no one noticed anything. Rosepaw took a deep breath, fixing up her nest. It was early, about when the sun was just coming up and her ears caught the dawn patrol- sadly, it didn’t hold her name. Brackenclaw. She would be corralling the hornet into action swiftly.
Before then was her first morning of correction. “Hollypaw?” Her eyes scanned the nests of the apprentice den, and spotted the light colored she. The russet tabby padded over and nudged the cold of her nose against Hollypaw’s ears to wake her. If it was clear that Hollypaw was waking, Rosepaw would continue, “Come on, today I’ll be showing you what I know of hunting. It’s important for you to know early in your training.” and Hollypaw had no time to waste after being so late to the apprentice rank.
After receiving any reply, Rosepaw turned and started out into the clearing and waited, eyes on the threshold of the apprentice den for Hollypaw’s form. Which better follow swiftly, else it may be off with her head. ( Read: a scolding and a light cuff of the ears ( perhaps even an assigned punishment should Rosepaw feel so bold as to do so. ))

☾☽☾☽✿❀✿ the she-cat was in a deep slumber, the whispers of great things...whispers of proving she was better then them all, it sounded wonderful to feel on top...and then she opened her eyes feeling the cold touch on her ear, her gaze glared at the other apprentice but she relaxed when she realized who it was. "what...?" she sat up a bit and sighed, oh...training...she's confused to why she has to do this...but she nods slowly a bit. "okay...sure.." she mumbles as she gets up and doesnt bother to groom her fur. her eyes are half closed as she padded after the apprentice. "why are you helping me..." she asked rosepaw in confusion. why help a failing apprentice like her? she'll be exiled soon...its going to happen. ✿❀✿☾☽☾☽
Rosepaw narrowed her eyes, her tail lashing carefully behind her. What pitiful behavior. Something that shouldn’t be within one of her felines, not of Thunderclan. The russet tabby wasted no time closing the distance between her and Hollypaw and giving the older apprentice a firm bap to her muzzle to quit the pity party, “I shouldn’t have to repeat myself, you’re an apprentice of Thunderclan, this behavior is unbecoming. I’m helping you because you are one of the felines under my watch, understand? You don’t have any time to waste not training.” Rosepaw lowered her paw and gave a sharp look, hoping to show her seriousness before she was taking a few steps away and dropping into the hunting crouch.
Practiced with Tigerpelt and refined with Flintclaw, she liked to think it was good. “Try and mimic me. While I haven’t been out of camp to catch anything yet, I’ve been practicing and receiving feedback. The key is balance. While your crouch and stalk are important it’s imperative to not get lost in focusing on it less you lose track of your prey.”

☾☽☾☽✿❀✿ she sighed as she listened to rosepaw, why was she wasting her time on her? this was dumb...hollypaw didn't deserve this...she sighed again as she copied the other apprentice dropping into a crouch (rolled an 8) she wobbled a bit and huffed, clearly upset. so she tried again, (rolled a 16) she fixed her stature a bit and sighed, and to be extra she tried to creep forward (rolled a 10) she was able to do so but not perfectly... "I'm doing this wrong aren't I...?" she asked in a low and broad tone. ✿❀✿☾☽☾☽

"It's good. You can't expect it to be perfect on the first try." Rosepaw didn't even hold herself to that standard as it was unachievable and would only drive herself mad with it. Actually, Hollypaw was catching on very quickly. The russet tabby nodded, pleased, and spoke as such to the older apprentice, "I can't say for certain, but you should be aiming to keep your paws light and your body as center as possible so that you make little noise as possible as you stalk. Oh! Also be careful of your tail, make sure its low and doesn't hit anything." Rosepaw dropped into her own crouch and started to practice her own stalk forward. It was something she wanted to practice more before she went out with Brackenclaw.

☾☽☾☽✿❀✿ she raises her head and nods slowly, she then drops into the crouch again and begins to stalk a leaf in front of her. she wiggled her hindquarters before leaping up and....(rolled a 19) she landed on it. she sighs as she raises her head and looks around "oh..." she hums...feeling a bit satisfied. ✿❀✿☾☽☾☽
Weepingkit stumbled around the clearing, watching as all the big warriors made their ways around the camp. "I can't wait to become a warrior," the kit mewed, talking to literally anyone who would listen. "I wonder what my name will be... maybeeee Weepingheart? Ooh or Weepingstorm? Or maybe Weepingsky?," the kit squeaked. (OPEN!)
