[Moonraven]

The apprentice, on the verge of bawling, sniffled a few times and swiped his paw over his eyes to wipe away his stray tears. He calmed a bit with the older cats reassurance, so he wasn't doing anything wrong. That is good. He didn't like doing things wrong, which made him feel bad. His ears perked up at the mention of teaching Deerclaw.

"No knows how to teach, try I will." He sniffled a few more times and looked over at Deerclaw, who was doing a much better battle stance than the silly one before. "Better Deerclaw is doing, not silly, stance is not." Weepingpaw purred softly. His eyes were drawn to Rookfire as the Enforcer slipped away. Ah, wait, the apprentice's whisker quivers as he fights off more tears. Was he going to stay and help them?

Maybe he was busy. Momster said to leave her alone when she was busy, it was bad to be annoying. Maybe he'll come back if he waits and doesn't cry. Weepingpaw didn't want to learn from the loud, confusing cat. He turns to stare at Deerclaw with big, watery, imploring eyes.
