She believed in letting the apprentice control what would be taught when, they’d pick something and she’d work on it with them for about half a moon before letting Skunkpaw pick the next thing to learn and so on.

---Skunkpaw---

Skunkpaw listened to all of the options. They had done hunting a lot and she wanted to learn a couple of moves today. She could do hunting tomorrow or another time. "I really want to learn a battle move.", she replied. The young cat couldn't wait to know a battle move. She wanted to be in the next battle. Well whenever that will be. Probably not for a while.

She stated in her angelic, kind voice. sitting across from the other as she began to groom herself as well.

---Ashpool---

The warrior noticed somebody pad up from the corner of her eye. She gave her a friendly smile. It was indeed a pleasant day. "Yeah it is. The sun feels nice on my fur.", Ashpool responded. It was nice to have another she-cat to talk to. She spend to much time with her male mate. Not that she didn't like him. He was her darling and her everything, but there were some stuff she couldn't talk to him about.

[CrystalLune]

Reedpelt grabbed some pery and laid down

[CrystalLune]

Ferntail grabbed some too and sat down by her mate

[That Key in the Tree]

Hollywatcher had already awoken a few minutes prior to Tinypaw’s entering. She looked over at him, she had been a bit distracted but they did need to get started. She stood up, smiling down at Tinypaw. “Of course! Now come on! Let’s go!” She headed out of the den.

She nodded her black speckled face with a content purr of agreement, lapping her paw for a few moments, then bringing it up to clean her black tipped ears. After a moment of silent, she spoke up again, "Im interested in how you are. How is life treating you?" She blinked her sage green gaze curiously at the other. She didn't have many companions, so it was pleasant to talk to another in some casual small talk.

(We can move this either to a private thread or training island)
Eveninglight smiled to Skunkpaw,” Alright then, how about we head to the training island to work on battle moves.” she meowed happy to be training her real apprentice not all the random apprentices who needed training.

[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak had taken an unofficial role as of late, crime scene investigation and documenter. (Putting his nose into things he shouldn't.) The ThunderClan fires, the ShadowClan barn-burning and raid, the aftermath. An interest in the mysterious and the unknown, something innate preferring the guise of morality steering his curiosity toward tragedies.

And like last time, he was hesitant to go alone. This was a matter of safety--the embittered ShadowClanners could be lurking around any corner waiting to catch the enemy unaware. How they'd love to get their filthy claws on a RiverClan cat. (Him, no less. He was kind of a catch.)

(..Purely speaking in status. He considered the rest a letdown.)

Fawnsqueak lingered in the mouth of the medicine cat's den, scanning the clearing for an unwitting shadow to drag along until his gaze landed on Stormtalon. Dude did not talk much. That.. wasn't a bad thing. That'd actually be really beneficial, since this wasn't an approved outing per se.

This was a bad idea. Bad, bad idea. Even worse decision-making. (So why was he still walking toward him, chin pressed to a tuft of chest-fur to masquerade as non-threatening?) Fawnsqueak prooobably should've straightened out the details of his greeting before.. well, attempting to give it, because it left them in this awkward stare-loop that he tried to ease with a lopsided smile.

Combined with his pose, he sincerely hoped he wasn't giving serial killer vibes.

"Oh! and keep your tail behind you low but not low enough to drag on the ground! I don't usually have to worry about that with my bob tail but you've got a tail so you'll have to keep en eye on that!" The moved to sit down and gave an encouraging grin at the kit "Now you try it! Don't worry about how good it is mistakes are part of learning and mine was pretty bad when I started too!"

Goslingkit
____________

The little she-kit's mind seemed to fizzle upon hearing the quickly-paced jumble of words releasing themselves out from the apprentice's maw - truth be told it was rather hard to absorb in such rapidly given information, although Goslingkit decided not to say anything as she investigated Willowpaw's proceeding movements. The tortoiseshell couldn't help but exhale a breath of bemusement. "Wow, you... You know a lot." Immediately she set off on practicing her own crouch, jostling downward her lithe physique and soon after tucking aside her long hind-legs. "Hm... Let's see," she mumbled, and outspread her forepaws just the tiniest bit. "How's this?"

Stormtalon had been minding his own business. He was quietly reclining in the sunny clearing, enjoying the warmth of it on his pelt, which was damp after a productive morning hunt. Once more—minding his own business. Despite this, he noticed the medicine cat’s gaze on him from across the camp, the tom’s amber eyes glinting the way Brightkit’s did when he had a terrible idea.

StarClan.

He wondered just what about him looked approachable when predictably, Fawnsqueak started padding closer. Perhaps he should ask the tom afterwards, so as to avoid it in the future.

It wasn’t that he disliked the medicine cat. In fact, Stormtalon thought of him as one of the more intelligent cats in RiverClan; he respected Fawn’s vast knowledge of herbs and remedies, as well as his undying curiosity and passion to learn. Anycat with eyes could see that what he lacked in social grace, Fawnsqueak made up for in good intentions. That, and Brightkit idolized him.

It was just that… the auburn tom was… a nice cat. Stormtalon thought of the adjective with a hint of reluctance. It was too late to avoid the conversation without being obvious, unfortunately.

Fawnsqueak presented himself, but didn’t speak. He only stared with an odd, crooked smile, head dipped at an angle. Perhaps he forgot his opening line. Stormtalon’s whiskers twitched in amusement.

“Why do I get the feeling,” Storm mewed casually, keeping his body language neutral, “-that you’re about to ask me for a favor?”
