OOC: Sorry it took me so long to get this going!

After sharing a few short words with his sister Rivercloud, Liontuft made his way back over to where he had told Poppypaw to wait. His serious pale green eyes showing a flicker of disappointment as he approached. He hadn't expected a warm welcome from his sibling but it still hurt to hear the coldness in her tone. He'd alienated himself from her but now all he wanted was to mend those bonds. Get a hold of yourself! He thinks as he reaches Poppypaw and halts his scruffy white tail tip twitching. " Sorry for the wait." He says nodding towards the exit. " We can get going now. I will show you the borders and if we finish early perhaps we can hunt." He says shoving his sister from his mind and focusing on his new apprentice. She needs me, he thought his pale gaze gleaming in the early morning sunshine as he looked to the young cat. And I will teach her all I know....

Poppypaw sat by the entrance where her mentor had told her to wait keeping watch on what everyone around her was doing. That sound of her mentors voice made her turn her head towards her mentor and she realized that he had walked over to her. "Its fine," she meowed when her mentor apologized for the wait. "That would be great," she meowed when her mentor told her their plans for the day. She waited for her mentor to take the lead and to lead them out of camp.

Liontuft nods his head some, serious gaze flicking to the camp exit. " Alright then lets get going. First stop will be the borders." He explains padding from camp. He tries to keep his pace slower than normal. His long legs gave him the ability to move faster than a new apprentice could. Glancing sideways to Poppypaw he wonders what was going through her mind. He could remember becoming an apprentice himself. He had been so excited but far too ambitious. He'd forgotten to just enjoy the journey and now as a warrior he regretted his actions. " So um Poppypaw." he says flickering his scruffy tail tip. " Are you excited to be an apprentice?" He inquires feeling the need to know more about his young prodigy. Meanwhile, around them the sun was still rising and birds were starting to chatter amongst the tree tops. All in all, it was turning into a gorgeous day just perfect for an apprentices first outing.

"Okay," Poppypaw meowed when she heard her mentor say their first stop would be at the borders. She followed her mentor walking a fast brisk pace but than again she seemed to walk at a fast brisk pace a lot like her body wanted her to run or something. She had been looking straight ahead but looked back over at her mentor when she heard him say her name. She tilted her head tot he side when she heard the question and thought hard about her answer before answer. "It's pretty good, won't have to sleep in the nursery anymore. Not that I don't like my mother. I love my mother but I know how much she wanted to get back to her warrior duties," she meowed. "I did lose a friend though as a kit. Rowankit he ran away I'm glad to be away from his mother she kind of scared me," she meowed referring to Ravenfeather who was known for having a sharp tongue(not literally).

Liontuft listens in silence as Poppypaw spoke, his eyes fixed on where they were going though his ears soaked in her words. Blinking some when she finishes he looks sideways at her. " I'm glad your happy to be an apprentice, but I am sorry for the loss of your friend." He says gently, remembering hearing about the young kit going missing. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the kit. Had a fox gotten it? A badger? Or had another cat saved it? Shoving the negative thoughts away, he flickers his scruffy tail out to make Poppypaw pause. " Here we are." he says glancing around, before back down at Poppypaw. They were at the Midnightclan border, and it smelled strongly of the oak trees which made up its majority. " Can you tell me what border this is?" He asks curious to see how much she knew. His serious pale green eyes, resting on hers.

"Oh, its fine he just had to many bad memories you know I might not have been that old when Silverstar was leader but I remember how she re-acted when Rowankit was born. She hated him because of who his father was and he couldn't forgive the cats in Leafclan who had sided with Silver," Poppypaw meowed frowning. "He said that Leafclan betrayed him but not doing anything to keep Silverstar from exiling his father and that because of Leafclan he never got to meet his father," Poppypaw meowed and looked at her mentor. When the reached the Midnightclan border she looked away from her mentor and looked at the territory. She tasted the air smelling a tree like scent. "Midnighclan border? I smell a type of tree and I heard that Sunsetclan is a beach," she meowed and looked at her mentor again.

Liontuft glances sideways at his apprentice as she speaks once more. Pleasantly surprised by her maturity and interested in her words. He'd forgotten about that whole fiasco, having been too young and self absorbed to heed the idea much attention. but now it made him feel odd, like he didn't know how to feel about it. Wishing he could remember the entire story he nods some. " The days of Silverstar's reign weren't good for anyone." He remarks thinking of the ex leader with disdain. She was in his opinion pure evil at its most fowl.
Shaking the thoughts away the tom focuses on Poppypaw as she answers his question. He nods his head approvingly as she finishes. " Very good." He says starting to walk along the border as he spoke again. " Those trees you smell are oaks. Their territory is covered in them, that and a lot of underbrush." He explains, scruffy tail tip flickering some." Midnightclanners are strong and fast." He adds, " They tend to fight by hiding amongst the underbrush and pouncing when he least expect it. So tread with caution and be sure never to cross over the border." He says seriously as they pad on. Wanting to assure the saftey of his apprentice above all else.

Poppypaw listened to what he had to say about Silverstar and nodded in agreement not really remembering Silverstar that well only that she had been mad after Rowankit had been born. "Yeah, I heard there was actually cats in Leafclan who tried to rebel against her," she meowed not knowing that had really happened since it had happened before she had been born. When she heard she had guessed correctly she smiled and listened to what her mentor had to say. "Don't worry I would never cross the border that would be breaking the warrior code," she meowed looking at her mentor.
