Hawkpaw shrugs, not noticing the look that Silverpaw gave her. "I hope they leave soon, I can't wait!" She mews. Trying to amuse herself in the meantime, she begins to pounce and jump about in the snow as if she was hunting a mouse.

Sunbright decides it's time to bring her apprentice out training. "Hawkpaw, come on," she says, walking over to her apprentice. "You and Heatherpaw are coming out on patrol with Whiskerheart and I." She looks around for Whiskerheart, who was getting something to eat from the fresh-kill pile. "Where is she? The patrol is leaving soon."

[Kuj0]

"Aww, but me, Heatherpaw and SIlverpaw were gonna..." She begins to object but stops. "Uh, never mind. I guess we can come but I want Silverpaw to come too! If that's ok?" She swiftly adds in case it sounded like she was a kit demanding to leave the Nursery.

[slushyfever]

"I'd like to come," Silverpaw meowed politely, dipping her head towards Sunbright in greeting, "but its okay if you just want to see Hawkpaw and Heatherpaw. I'm sure I can entertain myself for a little while." I'd rather go where we were planning, she almost added.

[Kuj0]

"Can Silverpaw please come?" She pleads. "It'll make it more fun!"

[kyraii]

Sunbright half shakes her head. "You'll have to ask your mentor. You're welcome to come once she says yes." Noticing Whiskerheart come over, she asks him, "Ready to go?" He nods, grooming his fur. "I just need to get Heatherpaw," He turns to the two apprentices, "Do you know where she is?"

[Kuj0]

"Aww..." Hawkpaw's tail droops a little. "Okay, but when I get back, you better still be here!" She meows to Silverpaw, slightly suspecting that she might go exploring on her own.

[slushyfever]

Silverpaw sighed. She never got to do anything fun! She half wanted to go and explore without them, but the tales of cats that walked alone in the territory usually didn't end too well. "I'll be waiting, I have nothing better to do." She grumbled to Hawkpaw.

[Kuj0]

Hawkpaw smiles and meows "Don't worry, I'll be back in a heartbeat!" She heads towards the camp entrance, flicking her tail in farewell.

Heatherpaw let out a slight sigh, but bodded to her mentor. "Okay," she mumbled, though would much rather have gone where they had originally planned. She leaned close to Silverpaw, "If you want, follow our tracks after we leave and we might be able to slip away for a little while." She whispered low enough for only the apprenice to hear before she bounded after her sibling and the Warriors. "I'm ready to go." She mewed.

Tigerstripe followed Wolfpaw out of camp, taking in the fresh scents of the forest. At his apprenices question, he chuckled slightly. "It will cover the old scents, but we might be able to pick up fresh scents if the snow doesn't get too heavy. And most prey leave tracks in the snow, as long as more snow doesn't cover them." He explained, padding on a little further. "It's a lot harder to hunt in the snow, but if you practice enough, you're sure to be good at it." He said with a soft smile to Wolfpaw.
