Roll says... 6: Bristle (I know, I don't believe it either).
Your fur puffs up and you slick back your ears, eyes narrowed as they approach. You're laughably unprepared to deal with them, but they at least know you're not afraid to throw down.
"Take it easy, little one," says one, a large black tom with an easygoing air to him. "We're friendly."
Applefoot taps you on the head with her tail, a motion for you to calm down. "Morning, Nightfur."
He waves his tail at her. Beside him, a serious-looking red tom with white markings only a little bigger than yourself narrows his eyes, scrutinizing you. The grey tabby molly to Nightfur's right is watching you carefully, though she doesn't look suspicious. You stare back at her until she blinks and turns back to Applefoot, who's currently talking to Nightfur.
"Rookpaw's my apprentice," she says, and nods to you.
"You were given an apprentice?" Nightfur laughs. "Well, good for you. Maybe you'll have something to do other than wander around the pines all day."
Applefoot gives a dismissive ear flick. "Would give your deputy something to do other than follow me around, waiting for me to step over the border."
"Let's hope so." Nightfur gives a friendly tail wave to you both. "Good luck on your first day, Rookpaw! We'll see you some other time."
You still are a little wary, but you nod to him and watch the three leave, the grey molly glancing in your direction once more.
"Rookpaw," says Applefoot.
"Mmhmm?"
"Unless they come flying at you with their mouths frothing, don't act hostile like that again."
They could have been dangerous.
I didn't know who they were.
I won't do it again.
Well, the grey cat made me nervous.
Whatever.
