His first apprentice. Shadeclaw couldn't believe it. One of the little futures of Thunderclan, entrusted by the clan leader... to him? The responsibilty felt heavy on his shoulders, but in a good way.

Shadeclaw walks to the apprentice den and takes in a deep breath. Was he supposed to call out to Burningpaw now? What should he do? He hesitates, and for a minute or so there is a large, grizzled warrior stiffly standing by the entrance of the den, frowning deeply. It takes a while for him to nuster up the courage to enter and call out Burningpaw's name.

"Burningpaw, get up. We're starting your training." Now that was more brief and not as friendly as he thought it would sound. Shadeclaw pokes his apprentice softly and waits for his reply.

A cream pelt rose and fell as the apprentice slept. Sunlight flooded into the den, and he grumbled, trying to bury his face in his fluffy tail. He felt he was being poked and they opened one eye, seeing who he would be biting, because he was sleeping, what could they need fro- Oh. His mentor. We're they training? Awesome! Burningpaw pulled himself to his paws, and stretched with a yawn. He shook the moss out of his fur, and grinned. He was still groggy, but they finally got to train! "Training? Awesome! What're we starting with?" He asked, pulling himself out of the den. The sun (which was hardly up. Burningpaw hoped they would not be training this early everytime) lit up the orange on his pelt. He grinned widely at his mentor, waiting for a response. The tom looked...uhm..like not the friendliest cat. He wasn't scary per se, just intimidating. Burningpaw stopped grinning, his expression very clearly trying to read his mentor. He whisked his tail and smiled again.

(Since it's taking so long, I thought maybe you'll like to have Burningpaw learn something else as we wait for permission to go outside.)

Was it too early? Did he make a mistake? Shadeclaw stiffens shyly, making a mental note to come to his apprentice later in the morning. On his part, he was just excited and nervous about teaching another cat for the first time that he didn't notice it was so early.

He doesn't reply for a while, walking out of the apprentice dens and waiting for Burningpaw to follow him before he speaks.

What was he going to teach? Well, he was going to give Burningpaw a tour of Thunderclan territory... or that was the the plan. It was what he himself did on his first lesson, after all. But due to the lockdown, sadly Shadeclaw isn't able to bring his apprentice out of camp, and they can only sit in the clearing. Instead of learning how to hunt or fight, he'll teach the kid the warrior code and how to do basic chores. For now.

"The Warrior Code." He meows slowly, "Do you know it?"
