Status: Tagged, not open. Training thread.
Muse: Most likely dead.
OOC: Jaggednight's too tired to deal with poor Nightpaw. Off to the elders den for her!

Jaggednight would have found it nice to be able to sleep in a bit more. Unfortunately, his family thought otherwise. Jaggednight was sure his beloved mate didn't mean to kick him in the head. but she did, anyways. What a rude awakening. Of course, it probably wasn't that all bad of Blossommist to wake him up as she slept. Jaggednight's new apprentice would need to get into the routine of waking up early. It wasn't everyday that Jaggednight slept in. If he were to today, Nightpaw would think that she could sleep in as well.

Jaggednight scurried to his paws, firmly rebuking himself for almost sleeping in. Jaggednight was a pro as a mentor. He trained around 2 or 3 cats and had grasped the basics of being a mentor quickly. The black tom, however, had yet to get to that part that apprentices should not be expected to be as good as their mentor in the beginning.

He trotted lightly into the apprentices den. Jaggednight glanced around the den to see if his apprentice was somewhere in the room of young cats. Jaggednight, an expert hunter, easily was able to navigate through the nests of cats and to his apprentice. "Nightpaw," he growled gruffly. The black tom did not care if he woke the other apprentices in the process of waking his own.

Nightpaw was laying on her belly with her paws tucked under her, eyes closed. Her dreamless sleep was suddenly broken by the sound of Jaggednight's growl, "Nightpaw." The voice of her new mentor, no matter how grumbly, had given her a large amount of renewed energy that early morning. Finally! I get to train again!

She rose from her nest of moss and silently padded towards the entrance of the den. In her mind, Nightpaw was using all of her willpower not to sprint out of the den, and out of the camp, in excitement. Suddenly she stepped on someone's tail, earning her an irritable hiss from the cat whose tail it was. "Sorry!" she whispered. Finally she emerged from the den and found herself face to face with her new mentor for the first time. Nightpaw found herself feeling slightly itimidated by the experienced warrior, but did not show it. "Good morning Jaggednight. What are we doing today?" she meowed, doing her best to hold his intense yellow-eyes gaze.

Jaggednight watched Nightpaw carefully. She certainly seemed bouncy! He thought jokingly, "If you keep up this up, I'll be forced to hand you over to my mate. I don't do well with kits." With his little joke fresh and ready to tackle Nightpaw if she ever got a bit overwhelming, Jaggednight took a close look at the cat who Nightpaw had stepped on. He quickly deduced it was his son's tail. With a quiet laugh, the black tom's golden gaze quickly darted back to Nightpaw, staring at her with intense golden eyes.

Nightpaw painstakingly reminded the older cat of one of his siblings. He attempted to clear his mind of her but Nightpaw looked so much like his sister and acted so much line her. A vivid image of his sister displayed in his head. His sister was a small yet strong black she-cat with golden brown eyes. She was always a bit energetic. It shook Jaggednight on the inside, making him feel miserable. Wistfully, Jaggednight tried to pull his gaze away from Nightpaw, as if it might stop the memories.

Feeling tired and melancholy, Jaggednight told his apprentice to help some of the elders before they went to explore the territory.

OOC: Would you mind if I made Nightpaw's sister?

[BigMable]

OOC: Absolutely! I request that they be close though. Also should Nightpaw literally go to the elder's den?

Nightpaw's excitement faded at Jaggednight's mention of helping the elders. "Do I have to?", she whined. Why can't the other apprentices who are being lazy and sleeping in do it?, Nightpaw asked boldly. She knew she was probably pushing it with her new mentor, but she had a fiesty nature and wasn't afraid to speak her mind and ask questions. I hope he doesn't make me help the elders all day now...

OOC: You don't need to. You can time skip that part. Also, would you like to split the costs of a Close Bond? That would be $1,500 both of us.
Muse: There may be a possibility I killed it...

Jaggednight winced at his apprentice's behavior. It shook him badly, memories of his sister still lingering. It shook him fiercely to remember his sister. It hit him like a piercing arrow when he remembered that his own sister never liked doing the apprentice chores. Jaggednight reeled back as the pain hit him. It was like it punctured his pelt and dug into his skin. Even the mental pain seem to hurt him. It didn't help that he had whitecough. Only a subtle sickness of whitecough, what a relief.

Trying to pull his attention back to Nightpaw herself, Jaggednight shook his pelt, getting rid of the mental pain as well. "I'm afraid all those 'lazy apprentices' are asleep. You won't have to do your chorse yet. I bet the elders are asleep and I don't think they'll be pleased to be woken up. Instead, I believe you can make your nest and tidy it up then you can go to the far left side of camp for a quick activity," Jaggednight replied cooly. With that, he flicked his black tail, turned around, and left, heading towards where he had asked his apprentice to meet him.

{@snowykcnomre I would definitely split it with you, great idea! PM me about how to go about doing that haha (sorry I've never split something on here before)}

Nightpaw's black ears perked up at Jaggednight's words. She purred an excited thanks and spun around to go back into the apprentice's den. The small black she-cat wove silently through the sleeping cats and arrived at her nest. She swept her tail a few times over the ground to make it smooth. So many excess feathers, she thought with exasperation, after several fluttered onto her pelt. She shook them off and then swiped the rest into an empty nest.

Before long, Nightpaw left the den and trotted over to where Jaggednight was. The rising sun gave no warmth to the cold and icy leaf-bare day. She knew she should probably sit down and patiently await his orders, but she was still so excited. Instead, she stayed standing with her tail straight up in the air and meowed, "What now Jaggednight?"

Muse: About used up.
OOC: Apolgize for the wait. Was trying to revive some muse.

Jaggednight slumped a little, realizing how much a handful this one was. He thought over it and decided that he should go to Goldenstar and plead to get a break from Nightpaw. but, until then, he would have to pesevere. Groaning inwardly, the middle aged warrior thought about how much more placid his other apprentices were. And how unplacid his sister was. Growling to himself, he shook the thought away, as Jaggednigt seemed to be doing a lot lately.

Jaggednight looked up and spotted his apprentice bounding towards him. Groaning loudly, Jaggednight faced downward, not wanting to gt one of those struck on memories. A pity really when they came anyway. He could already hear an excited voice ringing in his ears. It brought happy yet bitter memories back and seemed to be driving Jaggednight just plain crazy.

Realizing Nightpaw was asking him a question, the black tom attempted to get refocused and actually pay attention to his apprentice. Jaggednight accised himself of not figuring out something to do. Because Nightpaw looked so much like his deae sister, he had to give her a break from apprentice duties! Why? With a frusterated sigh, decided Nightpaw might need to run around the camp for a little while. Nightpaw probably would hate him for this but oh well. "Ahem, why don't you take a few laps around camp?" Jaggednight offered.
