I should see how she's doing, then go from there...

After a nice start of eating his fresh-kill and basking in the sun for a bit, the large, scarred tom finally sauntered his way over to the apprentice's den. "Willowpaw?" He called out in a gentler voice, though his rugged tones still showed through. "Time to wake up..."

Willowpaw's tiny grey head popped up from her nest as her mentor called out her name. Her eyes droopy with sleep, she mewed "Good mor-" Willowpaw mewed, getting interrupted by a yawn that showed off her sharp teeth. "Agh, good morning." Willowpaw purred gently, being just loud enough for her mentor to hear her. Willowpaw tried to sit up but got smacked in the face by her brother Weepingpaw. "Ow!" Willowpaw grumbled, slapping her brother back. Willowpaw looked up to her mentor and yawned once again, licking her fur down and giving a luxurious stretch. Willowpaw's eyes filled with mischief as she didn't bother to leap over her brother, instead walking on him and giving a small triumphant snort as he grunted and sat up for a moment. Willowpaw walked to the entrance, her long tail stretched out lazily behind her, still reaching the nests with it's length. The small grey and ginger apprentice blinked tiredly and sat down in front of her mentor.

Stagheart stifled a chuckle as he watched Willowpaw try to speak and get up, only to get interrupted by yawns and a quick little spat between her and her brother. His whiskers twitched in amusement as he watched, waiting until the small little gray-and-ginger apprentice came to a halt in front of him.

"Good mornin'," he greeted, giving her a nod, pawing forward a small bass fish towards her for her breakfast. "You... sleep alright?" He asked, trying to vaguely see how she was doing and feeling after nearly drowning yesterday.

Willowpaw's eyes lit up at the sight of food. "Thank you!" She purred gently, taking a bite, chewing carefully she swallowed then answered her mentors question, "For the most part yeah........ I had a bad dream but uh...... I ended up falling back asleep" Willowpaw meowed.

Stagheart's whiskers twitched and he let out a small hum of understanding. "Well, I'm sorry to hear that... glad you still got some sleep. You, uh... you up to try swimmin' again today? We can do somethin' else," he meowed, keeping his tone as light as his gruff drawl would let it, not wanting to pressure her.

They had some other stuff they could work on, and knowing Willowpaw, she'd either want to do something else to get her mind off of nearly drowning... or, throw herself at the water again to prove that she can do it. He had no idea which one it'd be, so his stark blue eyes watched her, trying to gauge her response.

(sorry the post was short, i'm sick and trying lol <3)

Willowpaw blinked, licking her lips clean as she finished her breakfast. "I can try swimming again." Willowpaw said, her tone confident and clear though her eyes flashed with a hint of fear and uncertainty. "Swimming sounds good.."
