The art of hunting, one Sleepysunrise had begun with pinecones and tail-losing lizards. Today she had the privilege of taking out another small group of apprentices for training, her own returned brother included, whom she had spared an extra long glance to ensure his well-being, a silent question on whether he was alright. Her younger siblings were aging, and soon they would join her rank of warrior… It was difficult to believe, when their ceremonies had been held together, courtesy of her date of birth and meeting dates. She blinked slowly, having roused the three apprentices and now leading them into the territory, not too far from camp to begin with. She was trying Mistlewhisker’s technique, of beginning with mere props for their first lesson. If all went well, they may be able to catch something by the end of this.

Firepaw followed behind the warrior, close to the other two apprentices. They werent familiar to her, so hopefully, aside from learning to hunt, she could also make some more apprentice friends! Tecnically Firepaw already knew how to hunt from her days as an outsider, but most of that was just self-taught nonsense that just so happened to work most of the time, so this would be a good oportunity to learn how to catch prey like a propper clan cat!
Rise and shine, it was time to get started for the day. Palepaw scrambled up to his paws, still a little drowsy from just waking up. His eyes felt a little half opened as he stumbled his way out from the apprentice den. It hasn't been long since he'd became an apprentice, but he thinks he'd settled into the his new nest relatively quickly. Though he would've liked to decorate a little more. But that will come with time.
'Off track again. Where was I going?' Palepaw gave way for a little stretch before spotting a warrior in the distance. She seemed to be calling for him...'oh! OH! It was Sleepysunrise!' Today was going to be his first hunting lesson. He leapt out of the cozy den into a burst of fresh cool air. He shivered slightly as he ran his way up to the group. It was getting cold and soon he'd get to see the rumored Leaf-bare, with all the snow, ice and cold. Of which, he is oddly excitedly for.
"Helloo!" He had given the warrior a small nod in greeting before turning around to see the other apprentices. There were two apprentices, both he'd never met before. But being late is better than never, so he'd introduced himself to Firepaw, who was walking closest to him. "Hiya, I'm Palepaw!"

Firepaw turned around when she heard the apprentice's paws padding across the ground towards them. Firepaw waved her tail towards him in greeting and eagerly indicated him to join the group with her paw. "Finally, a cat in Shadowclan that had some actual energy in them!" She thought. Most of the cats she had met up until now were either profesionally serious or looked downright depressed. And dont get her wrong, she really appreciates some of these cats (Silentpaw and Rookfire specially) but it was very much a welcome change of pace to see someone legitimally happy for once. "Hi there, the name's Firepaw, nice to meet you! First time out hunting?" She asked, Palepaw looked almost kitten siced, recently apprenticed, she guessed, so this was provably one of his first training sesions. "Maybe I can show you some tricks, though im not much of an expert myself, to be honest!" Firepaw continued, wrapping her tail around herself as she talked when a bone chilling breeze started blowing towards her. For Starclan's sake it was starting to get cold! Leaf-bare must be just around the corner. Thats part of why she wanted to do this lesson as early as posible, actually. In leaf-bare her primarily red pelt would stick out of the snow like a sore thumb, almost if not all prey would see her coming from a mile away, so she figured that trying to get all her hunting training before the dreaded season arrived would be a good idea. For now that wasnt a problem though, the only inconvenience of Leaf-bare's slow arrival being the cold, luckily her fluffy tail end offered some very much welcome warmth , so for the time being she would use it as a full-body scarf of sorts. It looked a little silly, but it got the job done.
