"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Oh Starclan, he was already messing up as a mentor, wasn't he? Firepaw looked like she was about to break down, and he had no idea what to do. Good mentors were supposed to know what to do when their apprentices were about to break down, weren't they?

"Don't...don't apologize. You did well." Except for the fact that he would prefer it if she went less bloody next time, but he had a feeling if he told her this, she might actually get a panic attack.

He coughs lamely, "End the lesson for today?" He phrases it more like a question than a statement. He feels like he's just running away from this problem, and he doesn't like that. But he doesn't know what else to do.

Okay. He was fine. Unless he was lying. Shadeclaw wouldn't lie to her, right? He didn't seem like the kind of cat to do so. But, you never know.

She wants to take his words as a compliment. But she couldn't help but feel there was something behind his words. Or maybe she was just being paranoid. It couldn't be anything, right? She nodded. Thank StarClan!

"Y-yeah." She murmured under her breath. They could resume the training some other time, right?

((Sobs I feel bad for Shadeclaw ))

"Tell...me when you feel ready for the next lesson." Shadeclaw meows shyly, "And do some stretches and massages. Before you sleep. Helps with aches from training." It was a tip that he always wanted to pass on to his own apprentice in the future, and now was the time.

"Ask Wolfpaw if anything hurts." He dips his head goodbye to Firepaw. He'll await the time she returns to him, ready to learn more, in spirit and body.

Firepaw hadn't been his apprentice for long, only around two months, in fact. And he'd barely been able to properly do anything with her. However, she already had most of the basics down, had a sweet personality, and she also tried her best for the Clan.

With that in mind, Shadeclaw considered going straight into things and doing a simple final assessment. He wouldn't relax his standards, he was going to be strict. If Firepaw succeeded, she would be a very young warrior. If she didn't do very well, she could retake it after an extra month or two, and it would only help her.

"Firepaw," Shadeclaw meows as he sees her. His meow is much less nervous than when he first met her, and is surprisingly gentle. "Come with me. Let's talk about your final assessment."

Firepaw took a moment to lounge in the clearing, stretching her limbs and sighing as she settled on the ground, wrapping her tail around herself in an attempt to shield herself from the chilling breeze. Though, her leisure time alone won't last long. Not that she minded, anyway.

The red furred apprentice's head snapped up at the mention of her name. Oh! It was Shadeclaw. With a friendly smile, she got up to her paws to look at Shadeclaw. Finall assessment...? Really?

"O-oh, yes, of course." She nodded nervously, though she tried to make herself seem more... Excited. She was! How could she not be? But nervous was just how she was. Old habits never die. She shuffled her paws and turned her head to look at Shadeclaw after realising she'd been staring at her paws for StarClan knows how long.

"The final assessment. You must complete the tasks in the given time. Without help. Alone." Shadeclaw meows briefly and sternly. But he's talking more than usual; he's gotten relaxed and more used to being with Firepaw now. It's almost a shame that she would no longer be his apprentice anymore. "If you do well, you will become a warrior. You will get your warrior name, and be called by Bumblestar. If you fail..." Shadeclaw hadn't really met anyone who had failed the assessment, so he trailed off. Likely nothing serious.

The tabby tom continues, "You don't have to take it now. You are still young. If you wish, you can have your final assessment after an extra month or two or more training. But if you want to have it early, you also may. What is your decision, Firepaw?"
