"Is it really?" Firstrike looked down at the nest she was sitting in, then at Brightflame's, and then back at her own. "Huh...I guess it has moved a couple mouse-lengths closer...That's weird. Oh well!" Springing to her paws, she bumped Brightflame's flank with her own as she started towards the den entrance. "Well, now that we're up, we may as well see if there's a patrol we can join. Let's go!"
Rustclaw stopped at the sound of Crowtalon's voice, instinctively turning to face her even though he couldn't see her. "I don't know. To see if the ground needs some dusting off, I suppose," he replied sarcastically. "Unless you needed something."
"Thank you, Woodtalon," Palestar purred. "We'll be back in a bit." She dipped her head to him before padding over to Bluewaves, who had seated himself just outside the warriors' den. "Good morning, Bluewaves," she greeted the tom. "Would you like to come on patrol with me?"
Giving his pelt a good shake, Graypaw slipped out of the den and after Slatepaw. He was sure Squirrelclaw wouldn't mind if he went out to train with Slatepaw and her mentor for the time being, after all they weren't going far, and Graypaw was nearing the end of his own training anyway, so he figured his mentor wouldn't be as strict with him. "What are you practicing again today?" he asked Slatepaw.
"You know the routine," Tigerfrost grunted, not waiting for a response before turning out of the den again, just as Darkhound was making his way out with his own apprentice. Tigerfrost was glad to see that at least one other mentor seemed to have a sense of urgency. He believed he and the dark-furred warrior were the best cats in the clan to mentor the two sisters, who both seemed to share similar attitudes and needed someone to...push them. They're just lucky they didn't grow up when I did, or they would've been pushed a lot harder.
