"Yeah." Emberpaw agreed. Definitely enough. The apprentice breathed a sigh of relief and padded in the direction of the camp, ready to go into the apprentices' den and go to sleep.

Russetpatch watched her apprentice go into his den before padding towards the warrior's den and falling asleep.

BlackSwift tasted the air, the warm smell of a mouse mingled. He went into a hunting crouch and tasted the air again, as he was doing that he saw rustling in the leaves near a small bush. "Too easy," he muttered unsheathing his sharp claws as he pounced on the small animal. As he caught it and bit into its tiny neck he heard the high squeal of the rodent. "Victory once again!" he said his mew muffled behind the fur of the mouse. BlackSwift dug a hole near the bush and threw the mouse into it and covered the hole. He padded through the swampy forest and tasted the air. He saw a lonesome frog sitting on a rock. "Perfect." BlackSwift mewed to himself. He crouched and stalked the brown amphibian. Just as the tom pounced the frog he heard a bird chirp in alarm, he looked up, missing the frog. "Mouse dung! Dumb bird." he mewed kicking the marshy ground. "Well, at least I tried... I guess." he mumbled to himself 'I'll just head back' BlackSwift thought to himself as he dug up the mouse and headed back to camp.He dropped the mouse onto the fresh kill pile and sat in his nest and groomed his ruffled grey fur.

[ Ah, poor bby Frostpaw ;-; @bmkmb ]

Flintfreckle stopped as he heard his apprentice's call. His brow furrowed as he turned around. His first mentor tried to kill him? That pile of mouse-dung, I'll- Flintfreckle's thoughts broke off as his apprentice continued to speak, and his face softened. This apprentice had been through so much and he couldn't even handle a cat's death? That's your mate your thinking about, fox-heart! You have the right to handle this any way you would like. A voice shouted at him, and though he realized it was right, he had to focus on his apprentice.

He turned around to face his apprentice entirely. "You're first mentor did what?!" He wrinkled his nose in disgust. "That fox-hearted-," Flintfreckle broke off as to not interrupt the apprentice and his face softened. "Of course I care." He murmured. "But sometimes too much. Like earlier?" He sighed before smiling warmly at his apprentice. "But thank you. That means a lot, and truthfully, I think you're the strongest apprentice I've ever met." He remarked, warmth seeping it's way back into his voice. He was glad the patrol hadn't ended on too bad of a note. "C'mon, let's head back." He beckoned his apprentice but instead of walking ahead, decided to walk beside him.

Nightpaw pulled up a small smiled, she had a feeling hunting might be one of his favourite past times, and now she was prooven right. "yo-ou're pre-pretty go-od at it t-too" she mew, thinking back at how neatly he caught the bird. To her, that was enough proof that he was a good hunter. Silence fell over the young molly as felt a soft breeze ruffle threw her short fur. It was a nice day, there was no denying that, and a good one too. Though... She couldn't help but slightly wonder about Frostpaw's time in Thunderclan- she figured that it.. wasn't the best, and not something he'd like to speak about. Yet she still had questions. Questions she'd rather leave unanswered over asked. Wether it would ever come to the point that they would get answered, she didn't know. But until then they would stay a silent thought in the back of her mind.

Her mismatched gaze was lingering right past the other, but she eventually got back to reality and brought her attention back to the apprentice "wh-what wou-ould you li-like to do no-now?" she asked, tilting her head as always. They could try hunting again- or just take a walk.. or go back to camp if he wanted to. She didn't mind either way, though slightly wondered what the warrior, Fallenheart, might be doing. Probably just some hunting as he said he would, but still.

"Here we are. Should we go seperate ways, or...?" Bloodtooth padded into the undergrowth and turned around to ask Shadowfoot the question. @Breezefur

Lightbubble padded into the territory, head held high and ears perked and alert to listen for the first whispering gurgle that would take him right to the stream he was looking for. But that wouldn't be for quite a bit, so the cream-furred tom turned to his companion, deciding it was time to start the interview so he could work his magic. "Alright Fallenheart. For my services to benefit you greatly and lead you to eventually finding your soulmate, I will need you to answer a few questions, honestly and truthfully. Do you promise to do this?" Lightbubble slowed his pace a bit so he could fix a serious stare on the other tom, hoping that his message got through to him.

Frostpaw dipped his head slightly at the warmth in his mentor's tone. Warmth and affection were two more things that he had lacked in ThunderClan. Really, it wasn't even the entire clan's fault as a whole; just a group of them who had made his life miserable, not even knowing that others were also doing it. It made his name sardonically fitting, if the lack of heat led to ice. Foxhearts they all were; Flintfreckle was right about that. Caring too much was better than not caring enough, Frostpaw determined as he grabbed the harrier back between his jaws. The apprentice would just have to learn and get used to the worry manifesting as mock anger. He could do that. Frostpaw didn't shy away from his mentor when the speckled cat began walking beside him, easily keeping a steady pace for both of them. He was glad that his first session with Flintfreckle left on a decently good note. Hopefully they wouldn't have any misunderstandings or accidents, however small, next time.

@Estelle
Frostpaw dipped his head slightly at the compliment. He liked to think that he was a decent hunter, but he would never brag about it. Besides, he knew of a tom who was a better hunter than him. "You did well at catching your first mouse," Frostpaw returned. Most apprentices failed on their first hunt, but it seemed that Nightpaw was more skilled than she looked. Not that Frostpaw would ever underestimate her, of course. His own abilities were the result of unnecessarily harsh training and death threats. As much as Stormgorse was a foxheart, at least he knew how to make strong apprentices, albeit not in the recommended manner. It worked for Frostpaw, though, and that was good enough for him.

At Nightpaw's inquiry, Frostpaw flicked his tail as he replied, "What would you prefer? I do not mind, however, we should start looking for Fallenheart soon." Where had that warrior gone, anyway? Frostpaw could scent him, so the older cat couldn't be too far away. Personally, the apprentice wanted to do one last thing before collecting their prey and heading back, but he wasn't sure what to do, thus asking Nightpaw instead.

@RedHead
Fallenheart followed the ginger tom as they padded through the territory. The nearest stream wouldn't be for awhile, he noted mentally as Lightbubble lead the way. "I - okay? Alright, I'll answer your questions," Fallenheart agreed in internal bemusement at Lightbubble's serious stare. How was he supposed to say no with someone looking at him like that? And yes, the dark tabby knew exactly how gullible he was. But what harm could come from answering a couple questions? As long as they weren't overly personal, of course. Perhaps it would even be fun. "I promise to answer them truthfully," Fallenheart added dubiously.
