To her, it didn't matter. She wanted to get better. She wanted to stand out.

(Sorry for taking so long!)

Nightshade watched Willowpaw carefully, noticing all the little things that made her jump different from Willowpaw's. Her eyes gleamed with slight approval, smirking to herself. Willowpaw already had the body for such graceful leaps, that was to be sure. With enough gentle nudging in the right direction and the occasional words of encouragement, Willowpaw would be able to use the jump to her advantage in battle as well in her day-to-day life. "Good job." Her words weren't warm, but they weren't cold either. It was as if she was stating a fact, rather than praising her apprentice. "Remember, your tail is a critical instrument in keeping your balance. Flicking it ever so slightly will ensure a smoother landing." She advised, before heading down the trail again.

(Which border is first?)
