It never ended, did it? Mistlewhisker was finally able to snag a frog from the prey pile and dig in, the Deputy having a rare moment of relaxation before her next dive into work. But then a voice piped up behind her and it was all Mistlewhisker could do to not jump out of her fur and slit the throat of the apprentice behind her. Instead she merely tensed, ears swiveling back to better hear bite and their request for another session of training. Which bite didn't seem to need--it was ready for its assessment. Mistlewhisker made a mental note to get on that. But now teeth was requesting flaying. Well, she wouldn't deny teeth. Mistlewhisker pushed herself to her paws, looming over Gutspaw and grabbing her frog to toss back onto the prey pile, still uneaten. She would just eat the prey they caught in order to practice.

As the pair made their way into the territory, Mistlewhisker glanced sidelong at bite. "Your commitment to your training is commendable. Well done." It was as close as bite would get to Mistlewhisker saying she was proud of bite, at least right now. "Are you looking forward to your warrior ceremony?"

Gutspaw let out a squawk when Mistlewhisker stood up and tossed her frog back into the pile. Gaze darting back and forth with a growing deep frown. It hadn't meant for her to do that. Aw bones, it felt like the most evil cat in the world. She probably didn't get a lot of chances to relax. Their clanmates were a bit idiotic at times. "Noo! Eat, eat, I was just - askin', wasn't sayin' you have to jump to it, " Gutspaw insisted, looking slightly distressed. The apprentice hopped to its paws and picked up the frog. Look, it of all cats knew food was important.

Of course, once the apprentice turned back teeth realized the deputy had already started to walk outside of camp. Gutspaw swiftly followed after, frog hanging from its jaws. It was squishy. It didn't take long for it to catch up to Mistlewhisker's side. Voice muffled, it seemed as if it was trying to say thanks. It did not say the main reason behind all of the training was because it was STILLL an apprentice and had not a clue how else to prove itself. Gutspaw even tried to attend whatever patrols it could.

Its ears perk up at the mention of bite's ceremony and excitedly it nods its head up and down. "..Youu dwnt knww whwn thwt mwght be, dww you?" Gutspaw inquired, "I thwnk I'm the oldwst apprwntice. Whwch is pwinful to knww, " it confessed. It wasn't really sure, but it was only two moons away from being eighteen moons. Seriously!!! Why was it still sleeping with BABIES!! It had been met its requirements since like,, thirteen moons. Had to be a punishment at this point.

Once they got to the area they were supposed to be, Gutspaw would drop the frog and nudge it towards the deputy. Fooooood.

Amusement glimmered in Mistlewhisker's eye as Gutspaw floundered, grabbing her discarded frog and bringing it along with them. "I was simply planning on eating the prey we catch for this lesson." She explained, but the frog was with them now, and she might as well eat it later. She hadn't gotten the chance to eat when she woke up this morning either... yeah, she could definitely eat a squirrel and a frog right now.

Gutspaw's warrior ceremony? Now that was a good question. Mistlewhisker scanned the clearing, jaws open to scent for squirrels (as they were the easiest to teach flaying on). "You did go missing for a few moons," she reminded bite, but not unkindly, "so it is reasonable to expect you to be behind. Though, I imagine it will be very soon." She reassured bite. "Have you gotten your assessment yet?"

The scent of squirrel caught her attention, and she answered Gutspaw's response with a nod before jerking her head. "Find a squirrel and bring it back here. Then we will begin."

Mistlewhisker slunk into the brush, following her trail until she spotted the grey tail of an oblivious squirrel. The Deputy lunged forward, killing the squirrel swiftly and wishing it a safe passage to the afterlife. Then she returned to the designated spot, waiting for Gutspaw.

Oh. Gutspaw's expression shifted, quickly becoming blank to cover up the rising embarrassment. Seemed like she wasn't that hungry, but really, she ought to eat beforepaw. "Uuhm, theen we're gwtting a jwmpstart on wt..?" It offered up to the deputy, teeth didn't really want to after frogs anyway. Tasty, but pain in the ass to try and catch.

This time around, Gutspaw couldn't hide the grimace at the mention if teeth going missing. "That wws like, ewght mwwns ago..!!! I'm a chwnged cwt," well, it had gotten better at not getting caught at least. Listen, if it wanted to put its life in danger that was its right. If they ended up dying then so be it. It was written in the void. Besides, the tabby was far from behind. By bones, it swore it knew more than some warriors these days.

Icy blue eyes flickered away, ooops. Did Mistlewhisker want to its final assessment? It wasn't like she was asking about it, but suddenly it felt like Gutspaw had went behind its back. Expect, it had just went to an Enforcer! Like teeth was supposed to do, pretty sure. Even though technically the molly would've been fine - it didn't want to bother her.

It gave a short nod, "Slwwpyswnrise, " and Gutspaw refused to acknowledge how much younger the other was. Prodigies. Weirdos.

Ears perked up at Mistlewhisker's command, and bite's nose twitched to scent. Huh, she was right. Two squirrels nearby, though opposite directions. It seemed liked its squirrel was a bit far away. Without another word, Gutspaw went off to hunt down the prey animal. It took a while, finding it in the branches of a tree. It swiftly skittered up a different but nearby & downwind tree. It leapt from branches, pouncing on the squirrel. Gutspaw killed it quickly, wishing it to the afterlife without another thought.

The apprentice trotted back towards its mentor, dropping the caught squirrel before sitting down in front of her.
