Sealpaw waved goodbye to Softpaw with his tail. He sat crouched on his paws, enjoying the sun with his eyes closed.
Darksky nodded at Softpaw. “He’s still talking to the Steppeclan cats but we’ll go out for training soon.” She informed the apprentice, then shifting her gaze to Cypresspaw. He seemed lost in thoughts. “What are you thinking about?”

"Nothing important." Cypresspaw just shook his head as he replied, still staring out at the camp. "What will we be learning in battle training today? Or is that for Stagstar to decide?" the older apprentice asked.

“I think I’ll leave it up to Stagstar. Or is there something you want to train in particular today?” Darksky asked Cypresspaw. Her tailtip flicked with interest.

Cypresspaw shook his head. "For me itt'll mostly be practicing what I've already learned, I don't mind practicing whatever it is." he replied. "Unless Stagstar came up with new battle moves."

The tom dipped his head in farewell to SweetMeadow and DartFoot. turning, he escorted the steppeclan cats through camp. "we can walk you back to the border" he informed RosePath and FrostWhisper before indicating for his apprentice, and DarkSky and CypressPaw to join him. they would go straight from the border to the training hollow, where they could finish out the day with a hearty battle training. he wondered what he wanted to start with today in their session. it would be time for an assessment soon, and slowly, an idea formed in his head of how to go about the session today.

Darksky dipped her head respectfully to the Steppeclan cats. “Sorry for the situation with Dartfoot. We’ll do our best to take care of him.” She hoped they weren’t feeling uneasy about leaving their clanmate in the Mistclan camp. “Have a safe trip.” The she-cat waved after them with her tail.

Frostwhisper dipped her head respectfully but didn't want to say anything, she was too eager about getting back to SteppeClan as fast as possible.

StagStar dipped his head, his ear twitching at the mention of the stars, indicating he'd caught her message. As the SteppeClan cats turned towards home and padded off. The tom watched for a few minutes, before he turned. "CypressPaw, SoftPaw, why don't you lead the way. Id like to see how well your memory of the territory serves you" He suggests, flicking his tail excitedly.

"Alright." Cypresspaw nodded and padded to the lead of the group, following a main trail away from the camp until he decided which spot they could go to for training. He veered off to the right, thinking of a clearing not far from the border where he remembered the ground was covered in soft moss.

"Embarrassed by what? I made a fully grown SteppeClan cat embarrassed, you should be the one who is worried about that." Cypresspaw purred in amusement.

StagStar followed the apprentice pair, quickly realizing where CypressPaw was headed. He nodded his approval, knowing it was a good battle training spot. The soft. Moss helped to ease landings, and the clearing was large enough for all the battle moves the cats often used.

"Just because you're trained by the leader doesn't mean you will become leader someday. You'd have to really prove yourself to Sorrelfire as a warrior in order for her to maybe choose you as her deputy eventually, if she becomes leader after Stagstar." Cypresspaw said, the felt embarrassed talking about the next leaders while Stagstar was right there.

Darksky followed the apprentices to the clearing and grinned at their talk. She wondered how the conversations between Softpaw and Stagstar went when they trained with the two of them. “I’d keep an eye on Cypresspaw if I were you Softpaw. He’s been training really well.” She gave her apprentice a wink. She knew the tom sometimes had some big talks as well, but always within reason and she truly meant what she said. Softpaw would really have to prove herself. It was good of her to set goals though and she was impressed with the she-cat’s ambition.

Cypresspaw looked back at Darksky and beamed under his mentor's praise. Cypresspaw jumped into the clearing, almost bouncing on the soft springy moss that covered the ground. He fell into the strongest stance he know. "Hey Softpaw! Try to unbalance me." he challenged the younger apprentice.

Cypresspaw leaped back so he was briefly suspended on his hindpaws, then landed his forepaws back on top of Softpaw's shoulders. "Caught you!" he smirked.

Darksky eyed the apprentices with interest. She gave an approving nod at the techniques of the two. Cypresspaw had been doing well the last training sessions. She hoped Stagstar would see his potential today. An assessment would follow soon. She was sure the apprentice couldn’t wait to be made a warrior.

StagStar crouched at the edge of the clearing, watching approvingly. he knew SoftPaw was doing well, and he was eager to see how she would fair in a fight against someone of her own level. "CypressPaw seems to have come a long way. itll be almost time for his warrior ceremony soon" he commented to DarkSky with a purr, watching the larger tom pin SoftPaw for a moment before letting her up

Darksky nodded proudly at Stagstar’s statement. She almost couldn’t believe her first apprentice would be a warrior already. “I think both apprentices would be great additions to the clan as warriors.” She purred softly. “Are you thinking about making Softpaw a warrior soon as well? She seems quite eager.”

StagStar chuckled at the comment. "indeed she is.... i think it will depend on the next assessment and how she does" he replied. SoftPaw was indeed excited, but part of him worried she wasnt quite there yet. only time would tell, at least right now, and he watched as she taunted her fellow apprentice
