ShadowClan Territory

Creekwind padded alongside Russetpatch as they walked through the forest trying to find a scent trail for their prey. "So how-ya doing?" She asked in a cheerful voice. The birds sang their songs as the new-leaf breeze whisked past her in hello.

Realization dawned across the toms features, and he felt shame spread under his pelt. Nobody had told him he needed muscles to be a warrior! He'd assumed he was fine! How did he not realize it? Was he sick? Is there something wrong with me? "Muscles? N-Nobody told me.." Magpiepaw trailed off, remembering all the well-muscled warriors of his clan. Each could easily crush his skull between their paws. He should've realized. Maybe I should.. eat more? Maybe start lifting rocks? Would that help?

He watched silently as it dawned on his apprentice of what he meant. "I'm going to make you the most fierce warrior yet. So from now on we will take a run every morning and watch your diet. I will teach you how to climb trees which will help immensely." Looking down at his claws and inspecting them he slowly looked up and raised one eyebrow. "I expect you to take this seriously. If you decide that you can't handle this then go ahead and whine to Icestar, I bet that she'll love that." To be honest he just didn't want to mentor a weakling to only waste time for this tom to become a soft-heart like half of the clan.

The young apprentice nodded to Stormlily "al-alright" hunting technique- how exciting! She certainly was looking foreward to being able to hunt like anyone else, maybe she could even go out with her mother sometime, or a friend- that could be fun.
The white molly looked back up to her mentor, wondering if they were going back to camp now, or if there was anything else she wanted to cover.

"Let's go back to camp, today has been great and very productive! You deserve a good meal and a nice warm bed to rest in." Turning her body to the direction towards the camp. So far their training has been great and she loved how eager Nightpaw has been and how many questions she's asked.
How about tomorrow we do some real hunting?" She wanted their relationship to be nice and simple. A bond that Nightpaw could easily be able to confined in and go to for help. She was almost like the daughter she wished Echokit would have been.

"I'm doing great!" Russetpatch meowed happily. She smiled at her and almost purred, but she stopped herself at the last moment. I can't make her think I like her! The warrior thought. I don't even want to think I like her! She added, thinking of her dreams in the nursery with kits. She would love to be a mother, but if she liked she-cats that wouldn't be possible. She snapped out of her thoughts and went back to searching for prey.

Magpiepaw nodded, plopping himself down and sighing inwardly. What had he done wrong? "I wouldn't complain to Icestar. Your a great mentor. It's me who's doing stuff wrong." Maybe if I had fought harder in the battle, I could be a warrior already. "Well, I guess we should get started on that run."

Honeypaw saw Falcondive leap high enough to land on his shoulders. He had learned from that mistake from last time. But how would he stop him?

Thinking quickly, he rose up on his hind legs aiming to take the blow to his chest. He would fall over, but at least Falcondive wouldn't have that much of an upper hand.

She couldn't blame them this time though, the raid had come out of nowhere and nobody had been prepared. Her ears flicked suddenly as she heard a cat approach her, and Freezepaw looked up to see her new mentor. Thank Starclan. She instantly stood, giving a nod. "Anything to get me out of camp sounds great." She meowed, glad that the tomcat wasn't going to be a baby about his injuries like Ivyshade had been. That made Rabbithop instantly more likable in Freezepaw's eyes.

Rabbithop was relieved he did have to argue with her. He felt no need too if they were all going for the same thing in the end and this was a stepping stone. He nodded his head approvingly at the she-cat, blinking his calm yellow eyes at her in a tiny show of approval. He didn’t know exactly how he would show her his approval just yet, but he decided he would start out slow and leave the big praise for when she accomplished something well. He beckoned the main coon apprentice with a flick of his tail. “Good.” He said as he began to walk to the entrance. Truthfully, Rabbithop didn’t blame the she-cat; the camp had been rather empty since the raid and every cat had been recovering, Rabbithop himself included. He lead the way through the entrance and through the territory, stopping in a grove of pine trees where they would start. “Since I’m your second,” He faltered. Was it her second or third? He moved on, inwardly cringing at his latest mistake. “...mentor. I want to see how much prey you can catch and bring back to me by sunhigh.” He meowed, squinting up at the sun. It was about half-way to sunhigh now, giving her plenty of time. He wouldn’t follow her, he would wait here to see what she could do without pressure. “You may start now.” He meowed with a encouraging nod.

Drizzle, pitter, patter.
"Oh, dear.."
The sky was painted grey casting a dull scene throughout the forest as water gushed from clouds above. It started off as a waterfall, unable to pick apart what's in front of him, it was all a blur. The ginger warrior ran under a large pine tree like an umbrella, hiding from nature's harsh weather until it eventually subsided. Pale, droopy brown eyes glanced up as if he hoped the sun will break apart the grumpy looking clouds, sending them back to wherever they came from. He didn't mind the rain but with his gloomy mood, he'd hope a sun's smiling rays will uplift his spirits. Sleepylion sighed quietly, taking a step out now there's only a light drizzle. A small clearing was ahead with a flat grey stone stuck out in the middle and that's where he stepped up, taking a seat, downcasting at his big paws. The massive pale ginger maine coon's ear tuft quiver from a sudden cold draft that fluffed up his fur bigger and then his whole body trembled. Not from the icy breeze but his tears that made its way onto the wet stone. The whistling wind muted out the big giant's quiet sobs, with his eyes squeezed shut to blackout his world even if it's just a moment.

Nightpaw thought a little about Frostpaw's suggestions. She certainly wanted to try hunting, but perhaps the game of hide and smell from her mentor could be fun to do too.. or maybe- "wh-what if we do-o a ga-game of hi-hide an-nd sme-ell and th-then tr-y hun-hunt-ing?" the molly suggested with a small smile and a slight tilt of her head. It was still early, so they should have quite some time on their paws, and both options seemed fun in her opinion, so why not do both? If not, then she'd let Frostpaw choose which ever he'd prefere doing. While waiting for an answer, Nightpaw sat down, letting her tail rest upon her paws; a position she seemed to take on quite regularly.

"th-thank yo-ou" Nightpaw gave a small smile along with a nod in agreement to going back to camp. While it didn't happen so often, it certainly would not hurt the young apprentice to lay down and get some rest, in other words, she may be feeling a teeny teeny tiny little tiny teeny bit tired.. just a little little little bit. Unusual, no? For her doings atleast.
She turned to face the same direction as her mentor and glanced to her as the Molly heard Stormlily's voice again "th-that's be-e grea-great" Nightpaw mew quietly, but still with a small hint of excitement in her voice. With a small glance back to the trees, Nightpaw started to make he way back to camp along side Stormlily. She really liked her mentor until now, she found that Stormlily was nice and more or less easy to learn from.

"That... is a good idea," Frostpaw finally replied with a look up at the sky. He was met with a still-rising sun and pale blue. It was still quite early, so they would have time to do both activities. Frostpaw wondered how come he hadn't thought of that before. Then again, the white tom never had been good at compromising. He padded over a few tail-lengths from his original position, not for any reason other than his need to move. It was an odd quirk of his to be unable to stand still when he had something else to do in mind. Turning to Nightpaw, Frostpaw said, "I've never played hide-and-smell before. Do you mind telling me the rules?" @Estelle
