Maplebird finally decided to rest under near a small rock, sunbathing. She had just gone hunting, so hopefully no one would harass her about 'not working' or anything of the sort.

Thistlewing stretched out her legs, looking around the clearing at the cats preparing to move camp. She shuffled her paws a little uneasily. She didn’t know how she could help. Usually she just asked, but everyone seemed busy. The only one who didn’t look busy was sunbathing. I think that’s... Maple something. Maplebird?
In either case, Thistlewing padded over to the she-cat. Perhaps she wouldn’t mind company. ”Hello, mind if I join you?”

The first few times he’d hunted had felt so exhilarating and therefore, they held a special place in his heart. “How’s your training going? Anywhere close to becoming a warrior?” He couldn’t recall when Flickerpaw had been apprenticed, and therefore didn’t have a guess as to how far in her training she might be. It could potentially be a bit embarrassing if it turned out she wasn’t anywhere near warriorhood yet, but he tried not to let that bother him.

Flickerpaw twitched her whiskers thoughtfully. "My training is... it's very... I work hard." She finally said, trying to find a way to describe it. His next question- StarClan, this cat was very friendly, lots of questions- How long had she been training? Five moons. When did she start training? Seven moons. So she was twelve moons old, about the age most apprentices became warriors. "I'm nearing the end of my training, probably in a half moon. I think. If I'm good enough." How long had it been since Puddlesplash had been an apprentice? "How long has it been since you were an apprentice? Not to make you feel old, or anything. You don't look old. I mean you don't look really young, but..." Ugh, she was rambling! She clamped her jaws shut and felt warm with embarrassment. She was acting like a kit!

"Aw, you've got lot's of visitors because everyone likes you!" Mushroomkit said with a small giggle. He copied her movements and rested his head on his paws, looking at her with that cheesy grin. Still. Did he like any warriors? As a possible mentor? Um..... no. He barely knew any warrior! Well, there was Sparrowflight's sister. He liked her. What was her name again?
"I don't know. Like, I know a cat, but I forgot her name."

The voice that followed gave away who the cat was. Cloversplash. The older molly was her new mentor, just assigned earlier in the day at a Clan meeting. She didn't know the molly all that well and wasn't sure what to expect from her at all. Yet, Rainpaw was already liking her, she was nice.
The young apprentice hesitated a little, not sure what she was going to say to the question. She didn't want to lie, especially when she wanted her mentor to like her. But, she wasn't sure spilling out her heart was a good idea. "No..." She finally admitted, a sigh following her words. "I can't sleep, again... I want to, but I can't..." Rainpaw explained, glancing over to her mentor. She really didn't know why she couldn't sleep, maybe lack of training during the day, maybe the memories. She didn't know. All she knew is that it made her feel defeated and that frustrated her.

“I’m sorry, Rainpaw...” Cloversplash thought for a moment. “Would you like to take a walk with me to get you tired...? We won’t go far if you don’t want to.” She offered gently, trailing the tip of her tail down Rainpaw’s spine. Please say yes... she begged to herself, hoping the young apprentice would at least consider her offer.
It had been a long day of excitement, and Cloversplash was extremely tired, but she would do anything to help Rainpaw sleep, regardless of if she was sacrificing her own resting time.

The molly admitted, ears twitching as she did so. "I was wanting to maybe cuddle, and talk..?" Rainpaw asked, raising her yellow gaze to meet her friend's. Her idea was that maybe the closeness of a friend, warmth from her fur, would help ease her mind. That and Rainpaw just wanted a hug. At this point she rarely got one...

Bunnypaw moved over slightly so Rainpaw could snuggle giving her a gentle smile,” Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?” she asked gently licking Rainpaw in a comforting gesture. She wanted to help out Rainpaw with whatever was going on, she just didn’t know how to help her friend out.

"I'd like that. But, um, Hallowstep didn't teach me anything... I only got to go to the cliffs and back." The young molly admitted, feeling ashamed that she couldn't tell the warrior about all the thing she knew. Her yellow eyes found themselves tracing her paws again, not sure how the molly would take this news.

“Oh, that’s alright!” Cloversplash replied, anxious to reassure her apprentice. “It’ll be fun to learn it all from scratch, right? I’ll try to make everything as interesting and fun as I can for you!”
Internally, Clovershine was attempting to recollect all the things her mentor before her taught her, but there was just so much! She might have to ask another mentor, and a more experienced one, at that, for assistance.

Gulltwist wasn’t sure how to feel about this, she didn’t hate her mother anymore, but she wasn’t close with her either, and now she had to train her. She wasn’t sure how it would go, but she hoped it’d at least be managable.

sweetpaw had never been good with time, always late to stuff. much expected, they were late to the meeting-- but managed to arrive just in time to hear that they'd been assigned a new mentor. strikecry..strikecry...hmm. where was strikecry??
amber eyes landed on a black cat not too far away, a huge grin making its way onto the felines face. there he was!

the brown cat hurried over to their new mentor, almost colliding into the tom and skidding to a stop. "strikecryyyyy!" they greeted loudly (though their loud words sounded 'normal' because of their terrible hearing), nudging strikecry with a paw. "you're my new mentoooorrrr!"

@feather lily Rippleshade walks into the den. "Want to go hunting?"

Flickerpaw looked up sharply when the Clan leader said her name. Oh crap. Jaggedscar wouldn't be happy. She scooted closer to the warrior next to her, away from her mentor.
