Roll says... 2: Waterfall.
"I better show you where the waterfall is," you say after a moment of thinking. "Neither of us should go up there alone, just in case, but it's good to know exactly where you can find it."
"You said that it's off the territory," Knotpaw replies. "Maybe we should wait until later to look for it."
"It'll be a quick visit." You stand up. "You're capable of jogging uphill, right?"
"I spend most of my time swimming," she admits. "But a river is harder than a hill."
"Great. Then we'll head there after we take the fish home."
So saying, you pick up as many fish as you can, and Knotpaw follows in kind (and she can hold more than you). You trot home, rather satisfied at today's developments and the delightful smell of fish is making you rather hungry. Many of the cats are quite impressed with your skill, but you quickly direct the praise to Knotpaw, stealing the biggest fish you brought back while she's bashfully thanking the warriors (though you notice she's rather wary of them at first).
You silently agree to eat before you leave, and soon you're sitting together, munching contentedly on your respective meals. You watch and wait for Cinderpaw to come back, but there's not a sign of her.
"So, Rookpaw..." Knotpaw says after a while. "Did you consider asking anyone else to help you out with hunting?"
You open your mouth to ask what she means, but there's a flicker of something in her eyes and you quickly catch on.
"I mean, I'm only good with catching fish," she continues. She's absolutely marvelous at keeping a casual tone. "So you should probably consider getting someone else to help you with mice and such."
"Well, I kind of did," you say, taking a bite out of your fish. "But I'm not sure if I should ask."
"Who did you have in mind?"
Applefoot.
Crowcloud.
Divercloud.
Thriftwhisker.
Another apprentice.
Nobody in particular.
