An Apprentice must learn.

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw was so excited! She was gonna meet her mentor! I wonder who it's gonna be? I hope that my mentor doesn't make me learn stuff I already know. Then I would be bored all the time. She started pacing a circle around the fresh-kill pile. Maybe we will go on a patrol first! What if we catch trespassers! I could take 'em! Send them back to their Clan howling! Cloverpaw started attempting a move she had seen other apprentices do when she was a kit. Instead of landing on her paws, she landed right on her tail. Ouch!

OOC: Falcon take it away!

[Falcon]

Hawkshadow padded out of the warriors den her one seeing eye looking around quickly spotting Cloverpaw by the fresh kill pile "you Cloverpaw then" she said in a quick no nonsense kind of tone but her eye was bright with mirth "I'm Hawkshadow, your mentor as long as you don't rip your tail off" she jokes a little

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw looked at Hawkshadow and thought to herself, How is she my mentor? I have two eyes so I need a mentor with two eyes. but growing up being shunned by her father had taught her to hide her emotions. Hello. Is there something I should do before we start? If you want to start right now? Cloverpaw wanted to get going, but knew that Hawkshadow might need to go slower. but Hawkshadow scared her a little bit. There was a kindness there, but it was inside of a hard shell. Cloverpaw knew she had to tread lightly and not step on Hawkshadow's paws.

[Falcon]

"well I'd suggest eating something if you haven't already, it'll help you keep your energy up for training, but if you already ate we can get going" Hawkshadow picked up a small piece of prey eating it between words and washing her face as she finished it and locking her good eye on her apprentice "and I'd suggest calming your paws as well, don't want anyone hearing us coming now would we?"

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw realized one thing. She liked her mentor. I already ate, so I'm ready to go when you are. Cloverpaw sat down next to her mentor, heeding her advice. I want to help the Clan and be the best I can be. She perked up at the thought of helping her Clan.

[Falcon]

"a noble cause if ever there was one, every warrior should strive for that, at the very least" Hawkshadow got up stretching with a bit of a shake of her fur before leading her apprentice out of camp "ambition can sometimes cloud a cat's judgment, what was once a clear hearted goal, can easy turn into a twisted plot of darkness if one doesn't watch their paw steps" she looked back at her apprentice with her good eye moving around an old stump "it's wise to learn from past mistakes for if one does not the past can easily repeat itself"

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw heard the wisdom in Hawkshadow's voice. She also noticed that Hawkshadow could maneuver around the forest as well as anycat. Cloverpaw was immediately guilty of her first thought of her mentor and knew that she would teach great things. You're right. I will have to be very careful. With a great mentor like you, I will be able to learn a lot! Thank you for taking the time to train me. Cloverpaw dodged a bramble bush. This was going to be great. 

[Falcon]

"well you know what they say, idle paws lead to mischief" Hawkshadow stopped after a moment "what would you like to learn first hmm?" both of her eyes looked at her apprentice curious about her answer, after all the answer could show her true nature and what she preferred in life

[~éluros]

If it's okay with you, I would like to see the territory. I need to know what I'm protecting. Cloverpaw walked next to her mentor, feeling something she never had before. Hawkshadow was really cool. Patrolling the territory would be really great, but there was so much to do, it didn't matter what they did. We can do anything, though. If you have a plan, we can do whatever you want.

[Falcon]

"sounds like a plan" Hawkshadow said with a nod before dashing off to reach the first border, this was a test within itself, she wanted to see just how fast her apprentice was, how much stamina she had it was important for future training sessions after all, and she was going to be sure that her apprentice could handle things

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw started after her mentor. She saw the pace that Hawkshadow was at and quickened her own. She came close enough that her mentor's tail was brushing Cloverpaw's cheek. Wow! She thought, My mentor is fast! And...so am I? I haven't felt so free! Cloverpaw was panting by the time that she scented something different from the scents in the camp. What is that? It smells funny here.

[Falcon]

Hawkshadow stopped at the border allowing her apprentice a moment to breath, she was quick didn't have much stamina but that could easily be worked on "this is the Leafclan border, they are fond of tree climbing and are very good at it, tell me what do you smell?" Hawkshadow sat down waiting for a moment to hear her apprentices response

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw thought about the different scents. I can't really place it... but a lot of different cats. They have a similar scent, but, like in our Clan, they all smell different. Cloverpaw was surprised at her answer. She thought of all the cats she had come in contact with and realized that they did all have a dfferent scent. You said LeafClan likes to climb? At least they don't swim. I heard a cat in camp saying how hard it is to fight a wet cat.

[Falcon]

Hawkshadow nodded "their are two clans that enjoy swimming though one more then the other, but take a moment, clear your mind and take a deep breath, memorize the scent, what does it remind you of?" making sure she knew the scents was very important it helped in times of trouble

[~éluros]

Cloverpaw tried to remember scents from inside the camp. As a kit, she had tried to memorize as many scents she could. It smells like... fresh-kill.... and... birch trees?? Cloverpaw didn't understand why the scent was so different, but she would remember it forever. So, if all the Clans smell weird to me... do we smell weird to the other Clans??
