I Just Can't Get Enough

[Overcast]

To say that Owlpaw was excited would be an understatement.

The young apprentice was waiting at the edge of the hollow and was practically dancing with anticipation. Her claws gripped and released the carpet of pine needles as she shifted from paw to paw, her tail twitching and her ears pricked. She'd been asked to meet her mentor here and after tending to the dirty bedding in the elder's den and she had practically sprinted to the hollow once her chores were finished. It was still early yet and the morning had a chill to it, signalling that soon greenleaf would be over, but her thoughts were far from the coming seasons and were instead flitting over all the possible things her mentor was going to teach her and wondering which she would choose today. Would they practice battle moves, or would they instead take to the water to learn the best swimming techniques? She hoped they would hunt soon as she wanted to bring home fresh kill like the warriors she so admired. She knew she'd do well, she had better, as she planned on being one of the best and failure was not an option in her young mind.

She'd waited eagerly to reach six moons so that she could train. A few more minutes certainly wouldn't kill her, but eagerness seemed to consume her and she'd have to tell her father everything she had learned today!

The silver tabby drifted through the pine trees like a ghost, her paws practically gliding over the thick pine needles that covered the ground without so much as a rustle. When she neared the hollow, she slowed her pace just a little, her pale green eyes quickly picking out her tabby apprentice, waiting eagerly at the edge. Lakewhisper suppressed a purr of amusement; even from here she could see that Owlpaw was barely containing her excitement, dancing from paw-to-paw as if she had stepped on a rock heated by the sun. The usually secluded warrior felt a warm rush of affection toward the little tabby she-cat. She liked her already.

Realizing that Owlpaw had yet to see her, Lakewhisper slipped through the thick tree trunks until she had circled around behind her apprentice. Always one to instantly leap into lessons rather than tip-toeing around them, Lakewhisper padded silently out from the cover of the branches and right up behind Owlpaw. Leaning forward, she said a simple word in her quiet, unnerving voice. "Owlpaw."

If there was one thing Owlpaw wasn't doing, and there were many things actually, it was paying attention to her surroundings. She didn't sent or hear any prey on her arrival and had gotten lost in her own racing thoughts while she waited. She was still swaying from paw to paw when Lakewhisper inched up silently behind her.

"Aiiiip!"

She nearly jumped out of her skin and about faced, her fur standing on end and her wide owl-like eyes wide. When she realized she was now face to face with her mentor her fur smoothed and fright was replaced with a mixture of feeling quite impressed at her mentor's skill and a hint of mild embarrassment brought on by being caught so off guard. Regardless, a broad smile slid across the young cat's face and her golden eyes lit up in admiration and she purred.

"You're really good, Lakewhisper! You're gonna teach me how to do that, right?"
