Cedarpaw smiled at the praise but noticed the far-off look on Fallensky's face.

"Are you okay?" he asked, genuinely concerned. She wasn't really paying attention, was she....? Cedarpaw shook it off, it wouldn't be the first time. Besides, it was his fault. He was kinda boring anyways.

Fallensky blinked uneasily, staring back at Cedarpaw. Something told her to pull away from him, that he would bring trouble. But he was just an apprentice, one of her own clan! And he seemed so nice, a friend that would never do anything to hurt her! The feeling was nagging her, biting into her flesh, then dragging her down. I... Sorry, I'm fine... She murmured, sighing. It's just... Me... Me and F-fleetpaw... She paused, shaking her head. Nevermind. Nothing, you probably wouldn't understand.

Cedarpaw noted the strange way she was looking at him, but he just brushed it off as Fallensky still being lost in thought. And that mention of Fleetpaw and her - maybe they were old friends? Fleet never mentioned her, well, he did that one time, but it probably wasn't that big of a deal.

"What else can we do out here?" he asked

Fallensky shrugged. She wasn't very good at this 'training' idea. Maybe... Maybe we can go and see Fleetpaw? She suggested, tipping her head as an idea sparked up. Yes, Fleetpaw would know what to do.

A bright look entered Cedarpaw's eyes, and he bounced over to Fallensky.

"Really? Sure! That would be fun!"

Nodding, Fallensky lifted her nose into the air and found a familiar scent. Fleetpaw. She tried to hide her smile, but it was impossible. She loved him so much! If only he was a warrior... Fleetpaw! She exclaimed happily as she spotted his silky black pelt. She purred, rushing over and touching her nose to his ear. She looked over her shoulder, checking that Cedarpaw was behind her.

Fleetpaw was busying himself practicing some…very poorly attempted combat stances. He almost tripped over his paws when he attempted a simple swipe at the air in front of him, and then just as he fixed himself (kinda) he nearly jumped out of his skin. He was so lost in thought, he hadn’t noticed the familiar sound of Fallensky’s pawsteps approaching. The skinny tom blinked up, not even bothering to try and hide the embarrassment from his face. But it was quickly accompanied by a warm, excited smile and a loud, raspy purr.

“H-Hi th-there…Fallensky.” He greeted, eyes closing in delight as he leaned in to return the affectionate gesture with one of his own - touching his nose to her ear in return. He blinked in surprise at the sound of an additional set of pawsteps, peeping over her shoulder to see yet another familiar face. “H-Hi Cedarp-paw!” He greeted with a smile. Him and Cedarpaw hadn’t spent an exorbitant amount of time together, but he was a familiar and kind face. And Fleetpaw did enjoy spending time with him. He padded forward to touch noses with his friend, but then a curious thought occurred to him.

What were they doing together? He tilted his head curiously, his dark red-amber gaze flickering between the two of them. “I-Is…e-everything…o-okay?” He asked, although he supposed they could be training- oh no! What if he was in the way?! They were doing a training session and he was somehow in the way! That had to be it! Stars above! He immediately started to fumble over his paws as he backed up, trying desperately to give them the space he decides they had been seeking out. “I-I’m s-so sorry! W-Was I…i-in the w-way?” Well, he probably should have asked that to begin with rather than after the fact, but better late than never. Right? Maybe…hopefully…

"Hi Fleet! Don't worry, you aren't in the way." Cedar assured his friend, his tail flicking excitedly behind him. He almost went to push the other apprentice back over, but figured that wouldn't be super polite and also Fleet didn't look like he'd enjoy that.

Instead, he just smiled politely in order to seem happy that Fleet was there.


[Cedar has entered: the hyper stage. Congrats! Fleetpaw has spent the amount of time it takes to make Cedarpaw feel comfortable enough to be a little silly!]

Fallensky purred, shaking her head. You weren't in the way. She murmured, trying to make things obvious by touching her nose to Fleetpaw's. How's training? She asked, her paws sizzling with anticipation. Once Fleetpaw was a warrior, she could ask him to be her mate!

Oh. Wait. They unanimously said that…he wasn’t in fact in the way. The skinny tom breathed a sigh of relief, that was good! He moved closer then, sitting kind of in the middle of Fallensky and Cedarpaw but across from them both. He purred at Fallensky’s touch, and smiled at her question on his training. Feeling bright, like he could finally give her some good news! “I-It’s g-going…gr-great!” He purred. “Dustbunny l-let me…h-help t-tr-train some o-other apprentices. I-In the t-tunnels.”

Ah the tunnels. He so did love working in the tunnels. He was a nervous wreck about helping train the other apprentices, but Dustbunny seemed to think he did well. Plus Littlepaw was super helpful too. “A-And th-the other d-day…I-I helped…w-with a t-tunneler project!” His gaze shimmered with excitement at the prospect. Tunneler work was truly his calling, and he was relieved to have found it. “I-I still…h-have to learn…c-c-co-combat…” But stars he didn’t want to. There was a part of him that would’ve been perfectly fine never learning combat, but knowing Dustbunny she hadn’t forgotten. He was fairly certain combat training was the last thing he needed to learn, but he wasn’t in any of special hurry.

Yes, he wanted to be a full-fledged member of the clan. Not just for Fallensky but so he could properly serve WindClan. But he was also terrified. Warriors were assigned apprentices as part of their duties, and nothing scared him more than the idea of him being responsible for shaping a young cat. Especially a clanborn cat…what good would he be at such a task? He, who started his training late. Who earned the name “Fleet” in the wilds as a sign of his cowardice, his quick deflection to fleeing conflict. Stealing to survive. What right did he have to train an honorable clanborn cat? Sure, his work with Windpaw and Honeypaw helped him see it was possible, but Dustbunny and Littlepaw had been there. What if they weren’t? What if he lost an apprentice in the tunnels? The anxiety was almost more than he could bare.

Fleetpaw could sense that his short fur was bristling at the mere thought, so he forced himself to calm down enough for his fur to lay flat. Unclenching the muscles in his paws. He didn’t want to worry Fallensky. Worse than that, he didn’t want Fallensky to think she was the source of his anxiety, when really he was terrified of the clan finding out how truly useless he was. He forced a smile, it was weak but warm, hoping to comfort Fallensky. She was oh so patient with him…she always was. She saw something in him that he could never see, and he had to do his best to honor that. Fleetpaw touched his muzzle to her forehead, a gesture meant to comfort, knowing how she could get anxious about things. He wished he could do better for her, she seemed determined to stay by his side after all, but if comforting was all he could do he’d make sure to do it well.
