Burnedpaw's ear twitched. Maybe Hawkthorn should've eaten before they left after all. "You okay?" He asked, genuinely concerned. Are we even going the right way? He surely wouldn't know, having never seen the territory before, but he hoped Hawkthorn did.
Hawkthorn opened his mouth to say he was tired but stopped. Weakness, weakness, weakness. He repeated to himself. He nodded and meowed, "Yeah. I'm fine. Let's head to the border to see if you can scent the other clans."

Burnedpaw stared at Hawkthorn a moment, considering his response. But eventually he shrugged lightly. Who was he to question his mentor. Burnedpaw tried to set the pace to something of a brisk walk. Maybe this will help him wake up a little.

Hawkthorn cleared his throat once they had reached the edge of the border. "Alright. Let's see how well you can identify scents." He meowed and gestured around him. "Go on. Scent."

Hawkthorn cleared his throat once they had reached the edge of the border. "Alright. Let's see how well you can identify scents." He meowed and gestured around him. "Go on. Scent."
Burnedpaw stopped with his mentor, turning to him and then nodding. "Okay." He looked to where the territory shifted, but he wanted to be able to identify exactly where the border was by scent alone. Burnedpaw closed his dark amber eyes and opening his mouth to taste the air. Drink in the scents of the forest...then separate the scents of your clanmates. He patiently waited while he took in the different scents, and when he felt confident he took a pawstep forward.
He kept his eyes closed, pacing forward until he felt like he could tell there was a line where his clanmates's scent was firm. Like they kept coming back to this line. But it's a little faint... He opened his eyes and closed his mouth, turning to look over his shoulder. "Is it here?" He asked, flicking his tail to where he thought the border was, but he wasn't completely certain.

Hawkthorn grinned. "Nice!" He praised and stepped to stand right beside him. "And you stopped right before heading into the other clan's territory. Great job, Burnedpaw!" He meowed and patted his back with his tail.
Hawkthorn sniffed and frowned. "How 'bout we do the border real fast?" He suggested and looked for a nearby tree.

Burnedpaw eyes widened a little bit when Hawkthorn complimented him. Not in fear or anything like that, he was actually a little surprised. It felt...good to be praised. He liked it. The reddish brown tom nodded in agreement, padding over to another tree with a bundle of ferns around it a little ways down to make the border, glancing at Hawkthorn and copying what his mentor did. "Hawnthorn," he meowed, "which clan does this border?" He asked, his nose instinctively wrinkling now that he was even closer to the other clan's markers. "It smells...weird."

Hawkthorn put his scent on the tree and scented the air. He wrinkled his nose and muttered something. Then, realizing that his apprentice couldn't hear him, he spoke up. "Shadowclan." He meowed and shook his head.
"Smells like dirt." He muttered, slightly joking.

"Smells like dirt." He muttered, slightly joking.
Burnedpaw couldn't help but nod in agreement, gazing with a blank expression over the border. "It's certainly...a sharp smell." He continued to help his mentor mark areas of the border before casting glances his way, an expectant but patient expression in his eyes. In truth, he was wondering if they'd be looking at another border now or where they would be going. But he didn't pester Hawkthorn about it, instead waiting patiently.

Hawkthorn cleared his throat once they had finished. "Okay. Shall we continue?" He asked with a smile.
He walked away without waiting for an answer, already testing his apprentice to see how obedient he was.

Burnedpaw wasted no time following his mentor, walking just slightly behind him. Obedient wasn't exactly the word he'd use to describe himself, although he did follow orders well and generally without complaint. Then again, he'd never been given an order he needed to dispute. Following Hawkthorn was just...sensible. He wasn't going to show the borders to himself right? Although, he had to admit, seeing the territory like this was thrilling. He had always dreamed of this as a kit, seeing ThunderClan's beautiful forest for himself. His eyes glancing around to take it all in, though they always turned back to Hawkthorn to keep tabs on him.
