Mallowpool "Once everyone is done eating, we can head out!" she glanced to Meadowsweet "Unless you have something you want to do before?" she tilted her head slightly in question. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Koipaw had finished the mouse he'd been eating and was now sitting quietly, waiting for them to decide.
Moonclan
Morningleap "Good try, that was a smart move. I just happened to position myself better." he nodded, gesturing that they could leave the water "If you use your surroundings you can get away with being laz- er, you can get away with using different, sometimes easier, moves." figuring that Thistlepaw was probably soaked and ready to head back, he made his way up the bank and shook out his fur.

Amberpaw tapped his paw to the ground once, twice. "It seems okay." He answered thoughtfully. Perhaps he would have to concentrate on using his other forepaw for hooking prey. Four claws couldn't be much worse than five though. He dashed over to the prey pile to fetch a small fish, then settled back down across from Pinestripe. "Land prey?" He inquired, guessing they weren't going fishing on this particular day.
Moonclan;
Seastep dipped his head to Wolfmist. Their argument, he assumed, must have had something to do with Alderfang's penchant for lazing around. Whether related or not, it hadn't escaped his notice that the tom had not been with his apprentice, Reedpaw, yesterday ... or even the day before that. Morningleap was lazy albeit a good mentor so Seastep found himself being a little more lenient with him. Alderfang, on the other hand, did not have that benefit. He followed the warrior to where he had settled on the ground, giving him a look that suggested he wasn't impressed. "Do you want to tell me what that was about?"

"No, no," Meadowsweet shook her head. "I'm ready to go so long as you are." She meowed to Koipaw. Rising to her paws, she flexed her shoulders some to loosen her muscles. She had never been the most amazing fighter - not as good as Mallowpool at any rate - though she could hold her own in a fight. Her parents had always seemed to grow uncomfortable when she talked of her battle training which had caused her to focus much more on her hunting skills as a result.

Moonclan: Alderfang looked at the deputy. She probably sent him over didn't see. He thought to himself. Can't that she cat mind her own business? "Something about Reedpaw's training," he commented. "When Reedpaw wake sup I'll take him out or something." He really didn't want to train the apprentice, rather wanting to go and do his own thing, why are cats now making such a fuss over it?

I was right then, the blue-grey tom thought with a sinking feeling. It was funny that the two laziest cats in the clan were also both mentors. If Briarstar had wanted them to shape up, he wasn't sure it was working in Alderfang's case. "I should hope so." Seastep meowed sternly. "I'm sure I don't have to remind you of what an honour it is to be mentoring one of the clan's future warriors?"

Moonclan: Alderfang bite his tongue. " know i know," he said. He looked to the apprentice den to see if Reedpaw had exited yet. He sighed as he got up and walked over, to one avoid further lecturing from the deputy and two just o make it seem like he was making an effort. Alderfang poked his head in. "Reedpaw you in here?"

Seastep watched him for a few heartbeats, then retreated back to the front of the clearing. He would have sent Alderfang out on border patrol, but getting in some training with Reedpaw was more important right now. I'll ask some of the other warriors later if he actually left the camp.

βοΈ Tigerpaw scarfed down the mouse she brought, not wanting to have everyone waiting for her. She stretched her muscles once more, hoping to keep them a little flexible for their training today. She was curious to see how well Koipaw's battlemoves were going to be. Tigerpaw had considered herself to be lucky to have a skilled mentor like Mallowpool, it had made her into a strong opponent for the other apprentices. Though, she doubted she'd be as good today. "Where are we training today? On the beach or in the water? Or the forest?" βοΈ "Ah your paw seems good to go." Pinestripe nodded contently. "I was thinking we could try to hunt some squirrels, you already know the basics of hunting so this should be a good next step. Or did you want to hunt birds today?" She asked, she didn't mind either way but birds might be more difficult with one less nail to hook on their wings. π "Thanks. You're right, I guess I should keep an eye out for my surroundings." Thistlepaw meowed as he stepped out of the water, following after Morningleap. He gave his fur another shake. Luckily the sun was out today so his dark colored pelt would be dry in no time. "Where did you learn all this stuff Morningleap?" The young tom asked, his blue eyes big with curiosity. Ember34 π Wolfmist decided she'd definitely take Flashpaw on the huntingpatrol today. She was sure her apprentice would love to come with and she'd ask another warrior to come as well. Her hazel eyes rolled as she saw Alderfang calling out for his apprentice at the entrance of the apprentices den. She walked past the tom, calling for Flashpaw to join the huntingpatrol. When she turned to walk away she purposefully bumped her shoulder into Alderfang, meowing an unfazed 'oops' in the process before she left for the warriors den to find Iceleap.

Sunclan;
"How about on the beach?" Meadowsweet suggested with a look at Mallowpool. "That way, they have the opportunity to do fighting on land and in water." Not to mention, if you could master fighting on sand, unstable terrain would be much less of a problem in the future. The way the sands shifted about depending on the wind made it much harder to get a grip. "We could always end it with a swim."
Amberpaw seemed pleased that they were hunting today. Battle training was valuable, of course, and yet, his confidence tended to peak whilst he was hunting. "Squirrels sounds fine." He meowed between hasty bites of fish. It wasn't long before he had finished it. "Is there a technique to it?" Squirrels were some of the faster prey, Amberpaw had always thought, and even if you were fast, you had to be careful it didn't just dart up a tree. Thinking about that, he wondered whether he might end up tree climbing again after all.

βοΈ βSquirrels are incredibly fast. When they get away itβs almost impossible to chase them because they run high up into the trees in a heartbeat. You will have to anticipate their movements. Iβll tell you more when we get to the forest.β Pinestripe explained to her apprentice. βYou donβt have to hurry, we have enough time.β She chuckled as Amberpaw hastily munched the fish he took from the freshkill pile.

Koipaw With everyone finished eating, Koipaw stood and trailed after the group, listened to the others talk and keeping pace with them. He wasn't confident that he'd last long against any of them, but he'd certainly give it his best shot. As a former kittypet, he needed to try and catch up with the rest of the apprentices.
Mallowpool "Probably not the beach, as fun as that is. What do you think Meadowsweet? Should we train in the forest?" Mallowpool was happy with just about anything, eager to train and fight no matter where they eventually decided "There's a fair amount of forest around, and it's always fun to train among the trees and undergrowth!"
Moonclan
Morningleap "Well, I had a mentor just like you." Morningleap replied, leading the way back "But if you take a step back from a stressful situation and look at things calmly you will see things that others don't." that was one way to say, sometimes being lazy made you see things that those who were actually trying didn't. Whether or not it was a good thing would often depend on the cat taking a step back.

π βWell yeah, I mean not every mentor teaches the same things.. but that does make sense.β Thistlepaw nodded as he walked next to Morningleap. βWas your mentor just like you?β The tuxedo colored apprentice was very interested in his mentorβs past. Even more so now they had started to bond a little. He knew Morningleap hadnβt been really excited about having an apprentice. He hoped the warrior had warmed up to him and to his duties as a mentor; Thistlepaw certainly had warmed up to Morningleap.
βοΈ βI donβt mind either way, I like swimming but the forest is fine too. What do you think Koipaw?β Tigerpaw asked, her round amber eyes gazing at the calico tom. Heβd been pretty silent.. in fact he might not even have said a word since Tigerpaw had joined them. Maybe he was tired, they had talked a lot the day before and she knew he wasnβt that eager to be social.

Koipaw "The forest is fine with me." Koipaw spoke up, looking to Tigerpaw as the she-cat spoke to him. He didn't like the ocean much, the experience of getting dragged out to sea as a kit had been scary, and a part of him felt nauseous and nervous whenever he saw the waves splashing against the shore.
Moonclan
Morningleap He hummed thoughtfully at the question and replied after a moment "My mentor was similar, actually. She was quite old, so she didn't have the energy or physical health to be quite as paws on as other mentors. But I learned a lot from her that isn't necessarily common among the clan." he'd always been lazy, but her teachings had meshed quite well with his personality and she'd really taught him a lot. She died soon after he became a warrior.

Sunclan;
Meadowsweet laughed gently, a little embarrassed at her idea being shot down by the younger she-cat. She was fine with them training in the forest, however. It would be easier for Koipaw, who hadn't had much experience with the shifting sands of the beach. "Alright! Let's get going, shall we?" She took a few paces toward the camp entrance, happy at the thought of being out in the forest. At least, they wouldn't have to worry about seeing any of the water monsters.
Done eating, Amberpaw drew a paw over his whiskers a couple of times. He remembered faintly that Hornetpaw had been talking about not having caught a squirrel yet and wondered if he would be able to succeed where the younger apprentice hadn't. "Looks like Tigerpaw's training with Koipaw today." He mused with a detached sort of interest. It would be nice to train with one of them sometime.

π βShe sounds like a good mentor.β Thistlepaw commented. βDo you miss her?β He asked, assuming Morningleapβs mentor had already passed on. Maybe because of her age. He wasnβt really sure which cats Morningleap hung out with but he hadnβt seen him with a particularly old cat.
βοΈ Tigerpaw walked after Meadowsweet, heading to the forest with the group of cats. She was itching to tell Mallowpool about her adventures from yesterday and she guessed Koipaw might also be interested to know what they had been up to after their talk in camp. βMallowpool! Iβve got to tell you something. Amberpaw and I were out in the forest yesterday and we managed to climb a tree. It wasnβt that high but the view was a-mazing!β The striped she-cat chatted on as they walked. βYou really should come with us next time Koipaw. It was scary, but it was great!β Just by talking about it Tigerpaw could feel the excitement rushing back to her.
βοΈ Pinestripe followed Amberpawβs gaze. βIβm guessing theyβll do some battletraining together. We could do that soon too. If youβre comfortable with that of course. I can also teach you some more moves first.β She meowed, she knew it could be a little scary to spar with another apprentice. Especially for the first time. Since Amberpaw was done eating the gestured for him to follow her to the entrance. She went the opposite way of the other apprentices and mentors, making sure they could find a place where prey hadnβt been disturbed yet.

Mallowpool The she-cat seemed happy that Meadowsweet had agreed, and walked beside her. She noted that the two apprentices were also still keeping up, but pretty soon got distracted otherwise "Ohh tree climbing would be great! Training in the forest will be good, especially if you two ever head to the main island. There's lots of forest there." she mused, remembering the time she went when going with the medicine cats.
Moonclan
Morningleap "I do, but I cherish the memories I have with her. It wasn't as if I lost her to a wound, she lived a good long life." he nodded, smiling down at the shorter cat "Hopefully I'll stick around in the same way. Wouldn't want you to have to get used to a new mentor." a part of him hoped that Thistlepaw did like him, even if Morningleap was lazy and uninspired most of the time. They neared the camp.

(Btw, would interest checks for non-warriors rps go in off-topic roleplaying subpages as opposed to just off-topic roleplaying?)
Sunclan;
Meadowsweet listened to the apprentice, amused at her enthusiasm. Heights weren't her favourite thing in the world - rather they made her feel dizzy - but she could see the appeal. She looked down at Koipaw. "That sounds nice, don't you think? Although, I think I should teach you the proper technique for it first." The idea of Koipaw climbing a tree and potentially hurting himself was concerning. That said, kittypets climbed their fences so maybe that would help.
Amberpaw nodded and trotted behind Pinestripe. He wasn't confident enough to spar with the other apprentices yet. No point in being jealous about it. "Am I your first apprentice?" He asked her curiously. It was a question he had wanted to ask for a while and had kept forgetting.

Ye! That's where you'd put it ^^ )
Sunclan
Koipaw "That's impressive, Tigerpaw." Koipaw seemed interested in it. He'd climbed things before, but nothing as tall as a tree "It sounds fun." more so than swimming did. He nodded to his mentor, seeming to like the idea even if he didn't express it as much as Tigerpaw or Mallowpool.

Moonclan: Alderfang gave her a sharp glare. He sat outside of the den out of the way to wait for reedpaw. He flicked his tail irritated, with both Wolfmist and Seastep. I'll give willowflower a ping when he is on)
Iceleap was exiting the warriors den. The small tom was eager to get back to his warrior duties, after so long in camp. He stretched as he gave his fur a few quick licks to smooth it out before continuing on his way. The tom had overheard the commotion between Wolfmist and Alderfang, which is what woke him up, and had just chosen to stay inside till it was over.
Flashpaw exited the apprentice den, sending a sharp glare at Alderfang. Didn't the tom know there were other apprentivces potentially sleeping in there? She heard Wolfmist calling for her and took off after her mentor. "Morning," she greeted Wolfmist.

Moonclan; Brightpaw was already by the entrance to the warrior's den, having woken up early. He was waiting for Breezefall, his tail flickering impatiently. He was ready for whatever the she-cat was going to throw at him, and he wouldn't be going back to camp before he had mastered it. With his warrior assessment nearing, it was even more important that he impress her. ( Copperstarβ)

( Ember34 Are you okay with Pinestripe having been Russetstepβs mentor? If not Iβll change it!) βοΈ Pinestripe shook her head. βNo, actually youβre my second apprentice. My first apprentice was Russetstep. I was a little nervous to be a mentor at first but we worked well together and he made a fine warrior.β The striped she-cat smiled as she remembered what he was like as an apprentice. She couldnβt wait for the tom to get his own apprentice, hoping heβd remember their trainingsessions. βI really enjoy mentoring apprentices, itβs so nice to see them gain confidence and growing in their skills. Like you.β βοΈ βAmberpaw was very good at it. I bet youβd be good at it too Koipaw. Iβd love to have some tips on how to climb better. Maybe we could get higher up!β Tigerpaw meowed enthusiastically. βBut I guess that can wait after battletraining.β She grinned softly, even though she was looking forward to climbing again it wouldnβt feel right to do it without Amberpaw. βHave you been to the mainlands too Meadowsweet?β She had always wondered what it would be like to swim across. The things she knew sheβd heard from Mallowpool, it seemed to be a great journey to make. π Thistlepaw felt warm again as his pelt had mostly dried and from the friendly talk with his mentor. βIβd appreciate that. I still need to learn a lot of secret tricks from you. Maybe Iβll even be able to trick Pinkpaw one day.β He chuckled at the thought of Pinkpawβs face. Thistlepaw didnβt care that much about being better than any of the apprentices but sometimes he did envy Pinkpawβs overconfident demeanor. π βIceleap, Seastep asked me to assemble a hunting patrol. Would you join me and Flashpaw?β Wolfmist asked the warrior, poking her head into the den. When Flashpaw approached her she sat down to wait for the warrior in the clearing. βMorning Flashpaw. Ready to hunt?β She asked, her gaze resting on the apprentice. The grayish warrior tried to push Alderfang to the back of her mind. The tom had always annoyed her, even back when they were apprentices.

Copperstarβ Ember34 K wait Copper maybe we could have an injured cat come in and then they could get into an arguement about the best way to treat it? SunClan: Hornetpaw looked around camp for Ripplecatcher. ( I know its weak but we'll get to long things during the actual interaction.)

Sunclan;
"Ohh," Amberpaw mewed, nodding. Russetstep was nice, he liked him. He remembered when the quiet tom had taken him and the other apprentices out fishing. "That's really cool." He meowed finally. I hope I'll be a good mentor when the time comes ... "I'm pretty lucky then. Since you're such a good mentor. I'll make sure I become a great warrior too." He smiled widely as they walked.
Meadowsweet's ears pricked at the question. She was usually one of the first to volunteer to go to the mainland. Hearing so many stories about it from her parents had made it something of a mystical place back when she were an apprentice. "Yes, actually. A number of times. It was very tiring the first few times." She admitted. "The Mainland has all kinds of interesting stuff that the island doesn't though." Come to think of it, the medicine cats would be leaving on that very journey soon, wouldn't they?

shush as evidence of my other spelling mistakes in that post it was a rushed post) Sunclan: Ripplecatcher walked over to his apprentice Hornetpaw. "Morning Hornetpaw," he greeted the tom. "Did you sleep well?" He flicked his tail behind him.
Moonclan: Flashpaw nodded, the she cat excited to get out of the camp. "When are we heading out," she asked curiously. She was bouncing on her paws. She looked over to the small warrior that was joining them. She flicked her tail in greeting before turning her attention back to her mentor,
"Sure I would love to join you," Iceleap said. The tom gave a nod to the apprentice that was present. "Where are you thinking of heading to hunt in?" He didn't know what places the territory had been hunted in recently to properly be able to get an idea of where they could potentially hunt.

Morningleap "Pinkpaw eh? She seems like the straightforward type, I'm sure you'll be able to handle her." proud and steadfast cats like that weren't often the type to take a step back and think things over carefully. They were strong and smart, but not careful and that was their downfall. They made it back to camp and Morningleap stretched out "Well, you're free to do as you wish for now. Just don't go getting into trouble."
