firefly flicked one ear, fixing his gaze intently on batpaw's own eyes, almost as if studying him. he shifted his paws a little uncomfortably. yes, he was definitely young for a medicine cat, and exceptionally young to be a mentor. he honestly wasn't sure how to teach, but would give it his all. "well..." he mewed quietly, dipping his head in embarrassment. "i've noticed recently that you don't seem to be very happy at all. you're not exactly doing well with your warrior skills yet either, if you don't mind me saying so," firefly pointed out bluntly. "and i know that we're pretty much the same age, but i do consider you one of my best friends. you're always hanging around the medicine den, and at first i thought that was normal. we're friends, after all. then i realised that perhaps you weren't as good at being a warrior apprentice as you wanted to be," he paused, taking a deep breath. "and i won't mind if you say no, but have you ever considered not becoming a warrior? have you ever, say, thought about perhaps becoming a medicine cat instead?"

[yeeee.]

batpaw licked his whiskers again nervously, realizing something was up. although he couldn't see, he had this hunch that he was being studied. and, on top of that, thunderpaw and nightpaw had appeared, and were hardly two kittensteps away. the ebony tom's tail twitched, but then he went completely still as firefly spoke. ... is it that obvious..? i guess so. i mean, how many blind cats are warriors? the ebony tom said with a soft sigh, but felt his nape prickle once more at firefly's words. best friends? that was a warm pang. another surprise, but he felt a small smile worm it's way onto his maw. the truth was the truth.. nothing could change that. but at least someone noticed, and confronted him about it. batpaw shifted slightly, but his slate eyes widened by a bit at the end. huh? medicine cat- i can become his apprentice? that news being presented, batpaw found himself lifting his head and just gazing at firefly with undisguised surprise. after a few seconds like that he spoke, unable to keep the happiness and surprise from his voice. "i would love to," batpaw whispered, before lowering his head slightly in embarrassment.

"i just thought i was too old, you know?" hesitating for a second, the ebony tom then continued. "i thought i could do it, firefly. but yes, you are correct. i'm not as good as i want to be, nor will i ever. but i never really wanted to be a warrior anyway, but i thought as long as i was serving the clan it was better than nothing. after all, what else could i do?" smiling fully now, the ebony tom stood up and stretched. "i don't mind you telling me the truth, firefly- i want you to, every time. sometimes the truth hurts, but better hurt now than hurt later when i've failed training," batpaw said, letting his slate grey gaze linger on firefly's location for a bit longer before he turned to nightpaw and thunderpaw.

"shouldn't you two be hunting?" he asked curiously, blinking his eyes once more in a content manner. eh, i hope i didn't ruin their little fun- they won't be having any for a long time. batpaw then released a little groan. the same went for him. he was crowfood. "i'm gonna need some moss, firefly- is there any nearby?" batpaw sighed again then, to no one in particular, letting his filmy eyes roll up into his head. but still smiling, wider than he had in a long while.

~~~~~~
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
if I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

"right, okay. i promise to always tell you the truth if you do the same," firefly replied, hooking a paw around batpaw' neck playfully. "come on, let's go get moss. you'll need some if you're planning on moving into the medicine den with me," he agreed, turning back to the other apprentices. "you can get back to your hunting, i'll be taking my apprentice-to-be away to help me now," he mewed idly before looking back to batpaw and leaning in to whisper in his ear. "i'll also cover for you so you won't get in trouble, so don't worry about that,"

Thunderpaw titlted his head."Apprentice to be?" He echoed to himself before turning to Nightpaw. "What do you think he meant by that?"

Nightpaw
Nightpaw shrugged. "I don't know. Or.. Maybe he ment that Batpaw wille become medicine apprentice? He knows about herbs." she suggested. She looked behind them.

Ashpaw woke up from her slumber with a stretch and a silent yawn. She exited the Apprentice den, her tail swaying behind her as she padded to the freshkill pile. The long furred shecat chose a mouse and settled down with it, licking her jaws. Ashpaw was starving so she took hungry bites out of it until it was gone. She scraped dirt over the bones and began the groom herself.

[ℱ ᴀ ɪ ʀ ʏ Ƭ ᴀ ɪ ℒ]

Thunderpaw gazed at her thoughtfully, not realising that he had been staring at her intently. He quickly snapped out of it and began to lick his fur down. "Well, he is always talking about herbs I guess. Though I think it would be pretty boring being a medicine cat apprentice, you hardly get to fight or hunt!"

[trashcan't]

Nightpaw
Nightpaw looked awkwardly away when Thunderpaw stared at her. "Yea... And medicine cats can't have a mate or kits. I'm glad that I never even thought of being a medicine apprentice." she chuckled.

[ℱ ᴀ ɪ ʀ ʏ Ƭ ᴀ ɪ ℒ]

Thunderpaw nodded agreeingly. "Who've you got in mind for a mate?" He teased her.
