Excitement shown in her face as her whiskers twitched. It was her first day of training and she was excited to be able to figure her way around the territory. Though she was a bit nervous. What if she strayed over a border or a hawk or something swoops by and she's unable to know its coming. Sure she had her great hearing, as well as touch, and smell, but she was always unsure of herself. Not to mention she wasn't just blind, but she was awfully small for her age.

All these bad thoughts in her head. When would she ever be able to realize she was a valuable member of her clan? She didn't want to let Windclan down. It was the last thing she wanted. "Which part of the territory are we going to go to first?", she meowed, softly. She was excited, but she had always been a quiet cat. There was never a lot she had to say. She wanted cats to like her. She didn't want to talk so much she made them uncomfortable they decided to leave.

Silverrose hadn’t expected another apprentice so soon, but here she was – Barleypaw at her side, on a trip through the territory. Barleypaw appeared quite a bit more eager compared to her other apprentice, if presence was anything to go by. She had, in all truth, expected a more experienced warrior to be assigned to Barleypaw – in all truth, she imagined it could be difficult to teach one with an impediment different from oneself. Silverrose had no experience in a world of darkness. But that only served to motivate the warrior further; to teach her new apprentice in such a manner she could stand equal to any given warrior she meets.
“We will be starting with borders; it is important you know those first and foremost. You will… Familiarise yourself with the territory as we go, of course, and we will be seeing exact locations afterwards. If you require me to slow down, do let me know.”
She answered her apprentice with a glance over her shoulder. She would have to remember to be more vocal about her instructions – this would be a chance to teach herself just as much as it is to teach Barleypaw. Approaching the ThunderClan border, Silverrose flicked her tail, slowing to a hart some ways before the end.
“This is the Thunderglade – our border with ThunderClan. Sniff around; quite luckily, borders are rarely seen and more so smelled. You should be able to tell where our territory ends by scent alone. And, remember, do not cross the border. Doing so only leads to trouble.”

Listening to her mentors pawsteps as well as keeping up with their scent she managed to keep up just fine. She walked almost right by Silverrose's side, but keeping back far enough to allow the older cat to lead the way to their first destination. Borders sounded like fun though she was a bit nervous to go near Shadowclan or Riverclan. After recent events with Riverclan as well as hearing the past events with Shadowclan she was dreading to be near those. It was her first day of training she really didn't want any trouble from either clans. Thunderclan didn't scare her as much as the others. They had problems with them, but it seemed to have died down... for now...hopefully for a long time.

Barleypaw used her paws to feel around their side of the border as well as scenting the air. Her nose almost wrinkled at the weird stench. She backed up a bit before licking her paw and drawing it over her nose. It still couldn't hide the smell, but she didn't want to say anything over it. "Are they a clan we have to worry about or are we pretty safe for right now? I know Riverclan we're having problems with and I'm not too sure about Shadowclan either.", she meowed with curiosity.
