rushwater would seriously have to rethink his mentoring strategy this time.
hickorypaw had come into riverclan with a gnarly wound and an only half-functioning leg. rushwater was notoriously strict- and maybe that was why he was assigned the ex-loner. it was a good learning opportunity for them both, it seemed. for rushwater, a chance to find new tactics, and for hickorypaw, a chance to become a full warrior of riverclan.

he would do his best to train her well.

rushwater poked his head into the apprentices den, clearing his throat. by now, it was well into the warmer time of the day (what he had planned had to be done around this time now, because if he waited he wouldn’t be able to teach hickorypaw how to swim until the frost receded. starclan knows when the next warm day will be.). he called over the quiet busy hum, “hickorypaw, i’m rushwater. your assigned mentor—“ he stepped back as he waited for the youth to join him, they hadn’t had a chance to formally meet in the chaos of Hickorypaw’s joining.

“pleasure to meet you. our first lesson is going to be difficult, but extremely important for surviving in riverclan.”
