[Luna16]

She has been spending way more time with apprentices than she ever thought she would. Irisdream was busy thoroughly grooming her soft fur, pining for the days of getting a diet with consistent fish in it. It really had a positive impact on her pelt! As she finished cleaning her face, she cast a glance towards Duskleaf, asleep in his nest. Lightly, the silvery feline touched her nose to the tom’s ear, barely brushing against it. A silent “I’m heading out” gesture, though she also didn’t dare wake him now that he was sleeping so peacefully. Irisdream stepping outside of the den and stretched her limbs carefully, ensuring to be thorough but graceful. More than ever, she had a reputation to uphold.

The feline strode over to the apprentice’s den, the crisp chill morning causing little puffs of visible air to billow around her muzzle when she exhaled. How the water had thawed and it was still this freezing was beyond her. “Crowpaw, come here please.” She called into the apprentice’s den when she reached it, stepping back to allow them space to emerge. As a Lionheart, one of her new duties was ensuring the clan’s apprentices received training. And Crowpaw had requested training from her that she was particularly skilled in giving - hunting. And she was all too happy to do it. At least this apprentice will be more grateful than that Riftpaw fellow. Stars above that tom knew how to agitate. She prayed Crowpaw wouldn’t have the same attitude that he did.

Otherwise, this day will end up being most unpleasant.

@Rowan - Crowpaw!
