Training (twine)

The tan apprentice was leaping with excitement. After what seemed would never happen, he was made into an apprentice! His new mentor was Crowfrost. "Alright!" Goldenpaw replied excitingly. The newly made apprentice bounded towards the entrance of the camp. "I'm an apprentice!!!" Goldenpaw yelled delightfully.

Crowfrost glances back at Goldenpaw as he yells with delight. The tom sure didn't lack any enthusiasm, he thought hazel gaze glinting with amusement. " You may want to lower your voice." He says, flickering his white tipped tail. " Our fellow warriors and apprentices don't appreciate it when you scare off all the prey." He points out. His hulking frame moved faster and quieter than looked possible as they traveled down a well worn path. Weaving around pine tree after pine tree until the familair roar of the river could be heard ahead. " Up ahead you'll be able to see the river." He announces looking to Goldenpaw. " It marks our border with Midnightclan." He adds, white face glimmering in a patch of sunlight. " Do you know much about the other clans?" He asks the tom, knowing that apprentices tended to learn things about the other clans from their parents. but he also knew not all came to their mentor's knowing such things.

" You may want to lower your voice." He says, flickering his white tipped tail. " Our fellow warriors and apprentices don't appreciate it when you scare off all the prey."

Goldenpaw stopped shoutin. He mumbled something under his breath. "Awww! Too bad!" Goldenpaw thought sadly. His tail drooped as he walked on.

"Up ahead you'll be able to see the river." He announces looking to Goldenpaw. "It marks our border with Midnightclan."

Goldenpaw stretched his neck to see if he could spot the river. "MidnightClan. That`s one of the other clans!"

" Do you know much about the other clans?"

Goldenpaw smirked a little. He decided to see how tolerant this mentor was going to be. "That depends on one`s opinion," Goldenpaw mewed in a cocky tone. He kept a sly grin on his tan face.

Crowfrost couldn't help but notice his gentle reprimand had seemed to squash Goldenpaw's enthusiasm. A little worried he hopes the tom would bounce back to himself without much effort. He hadn't intended to upset the young cat but to make sure he was aware of his surroundings. Life isn't all fun and games, he thought.
but his worries don't last long because at the mention of the river, Goldenpaw seemed to perk up. And as the tom answered his question they rounded a corner and before them a few fox lengths away was the river. Its greenish blue waters, rushing past them and sending the smell of fresh fish into their noses. Crowfrost halts, so he can listen to Goldenpaw. His white face turned so he can watch the tom closely. He isn't so much annoyed by the tom's reply but curious. " I see...." he says, his white tail tip flickering. " And what opinions have you formed?" He asks the tom.

[Deleted]

"And what opinions have you formed?"

Goldenpaw shrugged. "What`s next?" Goldenpaw asked in a business like mew. That had never been a favorable sign. Goldenpaw, serious? That was almost impossible! The tan tom flicked his tail as he walked on. "When are we gonna hunt?" Goldenpaw mewed, obvious excitement forming in his words.

[Twineheart]

Crowfrost blinks his hazel green gaze in surprise. He was pretty sure his old mentor would of cuffed him upside the head for that. but he however resisted. " No where." He says, gaze serious as he looks at the tom. " Well at least until you answer my question and we finish our tour. " He adds deciding to put his foot down. He wasn't going to allow Goldenpaw to walk all over him. If the apprentice didn't respect his rules than he wouldn't get very far in his training. " Or would you rather we go back to camp?" He says, deep voice serious. " Cause I can arrange that too." He finishes, his tail tip twitching ever so slightly. He wasn't known for his patience, and this was about as patient as he could be.

" No where." He says, gaze serious as he looks at the tom." Well at least until you answer my question and we finish our tour. "

"I suppose, until I answer your question, we won`t finish this tour." Goldenpaw stated lazily. "Well, MidnightClan supposedly ambush their enemies, WhisperClan is apparently fast, LeafClan has lots of trees, birch trees, SunsetClan cats apparently swim, and TalonClan is a bunch of outsiders who formed a clan. Are you happy?"

[Twineheart]

Crowfrost nods his head at Goldenpaw's lazy statement. Then waits for the tom to speak again. Pleased when he gives in and tells him what he wanted to hear. " Yes very." he says back, his hazel green eyes holding the younger tom's intensely. " C'mon." He says after a brief silence. " You have a lot to see before we can start the real training." he adds turning from the tom and starting to walk. Feeling his fur prickled with slight irritability. but taking a breath he tries to remain calm and collected. Loosing your patience won't do any good, he thought. Though it sure would be satisfying.

" C'mon." He says after a brief silence. " You have a lot to see before we can start the real training."

Goldenpaw nodded, his face expressionless. "It's too bad I didn't get a pretty she-cat for my mentor," he thought. "What's next? I want to get a mive in with my training," Goldenpaw mewed. He looked up at Crowfrost, boredom easily read on his face. "This is taking forever!" Goldenpaw thought.

[Twineheart]

@snowykcnomre

" Like I said you have much to see before we can do anything else." Crowfrost states again, his white face looking over his shoulder at Goldenpaw. " Or would you prefer to be the apprentice who gets lost in his own terrotry?" Crowfrost inquires, hazel green eyes glinting in the sunshine. Turning back forward he leads the tom along the river, and up towards the border they shared with the open field. The one that often had loners and rogues wondering it. " Up here is the border with the field. If we were to head through there we'd end up at the Pond of Truce eventually." He adds thinking of the gathering place. " We must always be on alert up here, loners and rogues often can be found wondering the borders." He adds warily as the pair starts to walk along the tree line that melted into the fields just visible on the other side of the Stormclan border.

It was quite obvious Goldenpaw wasn't really listening to his mentor. The tan tom was watching a butterfly which had fluttered by. Goldenpaw had quickly become bored of what his mentor was mewing.

"We must always be on alert up here, loners and rogues often can be found wondering the borders."

The words, 'loner' and 'rogue' snatched Goldenpaw's attention. Already, the young cat wa slistening attentivlu with renewed interest. "I'd tear them to pieces if they dared step on our territory," Goldenpaw mewed, lashing his tail.

[Twineheart]

@snowykcnomre

Crowfrost had just been about to loose his cool with Goldenpaw when the tom starts to show interest. Sucking back words he probably would of regretted, Crowfrost looks down at his apprentice. Hiding a glimmer of bemusement he shakes his skull some. " I admire your willingness to protect your clan Goldenpaw. but you need lots of battle training before that day ever comes." He says his white tail tip flickering. " Come on..." He adds walking along the border swiftly. " Perhaps I can teach you a battle move today if you keep up and pay attention." He says realizing the only way he'd keep Goldenpaw's attention was through bribery. That and his own sanity.

"Perhaps I can teach you a battle move today if you keep up and pay attention."

Goldenpaw flashed one of his kit-ish smiles and excitingly twitched his ears. "Battle training!" Goldenpaw thought excitedly. "Alright! I'll pay attention!" Goldenpaw mewed, half not listening to what he was mewing. He was too caught up in the possibility of battle training on his first day as an apprentice. "All the others will be so jealous!" Goldenpaw thought, talking about the tom apprentices.

[Twineheart]

@snowykcnomre

Crowfrost huffed softly under his breath. We'll see about that, he thought padding onwards towards the Whisperclan border. His hazel green gaze occasionally flickering back to Goldenpaw. The tom at least seemed more excited now that he'd mentioned battle practice. Less mouthy too which was very good indeed. Crowfrost guides Goldenpaw to the Whisperclan border, and ahead through the trees they could see the marvelous rolling meadows which made up Whisperclan's territory. " This is the border we share with Whisperclan." He announces halting and flickering his tail to the fields. " They are very fast and agile cats who will try an trip you up during battle." He remarks. " If they succeed you better get back on your paws quickly, cause your soft underbelly will be what they aim for." He adds, glad he had such long fir on his belly. It provided some protection from such an attack.

Golddnpaw wrinkled his nose in disgust. He couldn't belief such lame cats could do that! Why would and WhisperClan cat roam on StormClan territory? but no matter, clan life was always full of surprises. He noted how WhisperClan territory had less trees. Goldenpaw was more comfortable with territory which had lots of trees. "So I guess I should watch my paws carefully when a WhisperClan cat attacks so that the enemy doesn't trip me," Goldenpaw mewed. He glanced at WhisperClan for a moment before becoming bored of it. "Are we going to see anything else? Like the Charred Pine? I've heard it was struck by lightning and it's black!" Goldenpaw exclaimed.
