Thornstep growled "The leap must be higher, and make sure you land correctly. Don't think I didn't see you wobble. A warrior's shoulders aren't as flat as the ground you're standing on, you would have fallen straight off!" He hissed. "Remember, the only way to power and greatness is to fight for it, and if someone interferes, you use tooth and claw to get rid of them. To the death if you have to." Thornstep growled darkly. "Now, again!"
Blossomdawn padded over to her apprentice. "It's alright! The only thing that matters is that you caught it. Everyone makes mistakes." She meowed to Fangpaw gently, and rubbed her flank against his reassuringly.
Acornpaw padded away embarrassed. "Mouse-brain! You must speak to your leader formally, not as if they were another apprentice!" She scolded herself under her breath. She pushed what just happened to the back of her mind, and padded over to Morningpaw. "Hey, Morningpaw!"
"Hello, Acornpaw!" She meowed cheerfully as her friend padded over. "We're low on Catmint, so I'm heading out to go get some by the old two-leg nest. Wanna come?" She invited the apprentice.
"Sure!" She responded. As they padded out of the forest, Acornpaw asked "What do you think of Fangpaw?" She asked.
"Fangpaw? I'm not allowed to think of toms a certain way, only as toms." Morningpaw meowed.
"Yeah, but, imagine you were a warrior apprentice for just a minute. What do you think of Fangpaw?" She repeated.
"Grumpy."
"I think he's quite brave. And strong.. And skilled.." She meowed while looking up at the fading stars.
"Sounds like someone's got a crush!" Moringpaw teased her friend.
"What! No! I just think he's a good cat." Acornpaw insisted.
"Whatever, loverbird. Look, there's the catmint. I'll go get some and then we can head back." Morningpaw flicked her tail towards the herbs.
