Training (Thunderbird)

[ShiverCry]

Flight of the Thunderbird

Owlpaw padded out of the apprentice den, stretching. The morning was young, but it was time to train. Excitement rushed through the small tom. Now that he was an apprentice, he would train hard, break out of his shell, and no longer be shy!... Well, that's easier said than done.

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

A sleek black figure sat perched in a tree, watching the small brown figure dart out of the apprentice den, stretch, and seem to look very exited. Well, this must be Owlpaw. It was hard to miss him, unmistakeable owl like markings around his eyes, pale green eyes gleaming in the rusty dawn.
Sleekwhisper jumped down from the tree, smiling. "Hello there," he mewed. "I'm Sleekwhisper, and I'll be your mentor. Currently, you are my only apprentice, so sometimes we might take my friend and his apprentice, for fighting practices." Emerald green eyes twinkled brightly in the dim light. Hopefully his appearance didn't frighten his apprentice too much, he had only frightened Vixenpaw yesterday with the same tactic. He sat down and started grooming himself. "So, Owlpaw, today we will be practicing hunting, but before that, will you tell me a bit about yourself? Then I'll tell you about me." Sleekwhisper smiled. It was good to know who you were training before you began.

Flight of the Thunderbird

Owlpaw had been looking around for Sleekwhisper in confusion. When the black tom leaped down, Owlpaw- being the cowardly cat he is- nearly jumped out of his skin. "O-oh, hi Sleekwhisper." Owlpaw murmured, feeling embarrassed for being startled. "Well, um, I'm Owlpaw..." Owlpaw began, wrapping his tail around his paws as he sat down. "I, uh, am excited to train, but... I'm, er, very shy... And cowardly..." The young apprentice avoided eye contact.
