GOOD MORNIN' SUNSHINE ☆ PRIVATE
IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE
AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY
── ⋅ ⋅ ── ❊ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──
GOLDENPAW . 6 MOONS . HE/SHE/THEY . THUNDERCLAN
Goldenpaw's all droopy and molasses-slow to wake, eyelids sticky and mouth dry as he surfaces from a totally unremarkable dream. What'd it been, something about...mice? Mice with too-long tails, probably. Boo. It's such a pain; you have to sleep no matter what, even if you don't wanna, and then your dreams have the audacity to be boring. Lame.
Maybe he's spoiled though. No dream, after all, will ever live up to the dream. Ah, but he knows that already, so there's no point pouting over the mouse dreams! Nothin' to gain from it! Up, up, up, buddy, you know what you gotta do!
Cream over orange, tail over whiskers, the sleepy cat tumbles out of their nest and onto the floor of the den. Alrighty, step one's down. Step two is scoooooping himself up, dreamily stumbling out into the warm sunshine. Oh, eesh, it's later in the morning than he'd thought. He hopes he's not slacking on some duty or other...but Goldenpaw also figures he'll be fine if he is. After all it's, like, Greenleaf and all; time of abundance, season of takin' it easy and not bothering apprentices about being sleepy little guys. Something like that, anyway.
"S'Alright, buddy, you goooot this!" Goldenpaw tells himself around an eye-watering yawn, shrugging off his concerns. Gotta be your own friend before you're anyone else's. But uh, frankly, he'd rather get to work being someone else's right now. That's the whole point, isn't it? That's the whole point. Goldenpaw's waking ritual ends with an outrageously noisy sneeze. What's worse about all that, though, is that he's moving around aimlessly at the same time that he lets it rip, so there's a crucial split-second where he'a paying no attention at all and goes bumping right into somebody else (something which he does not recover gracefully from). Looks to be a close-in-age somebody. Goldenpaw's still lurching back like he's just had cold water thrown on him, but a goofy grin splits his speckled face right open at the realization. A buddy! Easy!
"Wuh-oh, sorry champ—that's my bad. Y'okay?"

Morningpaw
He/him | TC apprentice | Moons: 6 | No purrks
Morningpaw was always grumpy in the mornings. Well actually, scratch that, depending on who you ask they'll say he's grumpy all the time but Morningpaw knew he was especially so in the mornings. Less tolerance when he's busy waking up when all he wants to do is sleep more and more. Ironic, that his mom named him Morningpaw of all things. The name still wasn't right, it was broken and odd and distorted. It has been ever since he had gotten lost as a newly named apprentice. It's been wrong ever since he'd returned. Every time someone says it it makes him want to crawl out of his skin and then cry in a corner. Which was a very odd and very weird thing to think when it came to the name you've been called your entire life for 6 whole moons but life just loves to screw him over in ways unimaginable so why not make his brain shut off at his own name.
The apprentice only shoved his nose into his front paws and clenched his eyes shut, he did not want to wake up if this was only going to be a 'hate myself day,' why couldn't it be a 'can barely tolerate myself day' those were easier to deal with. BUT NO! BECAUSE WHEN DOES HE GET ANYTHING HE WANTS BECAUSE SOME POOR SOUL DECIDED THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE TRIPPED OVER!! Morningpaw opened his green eyes, pupils slits, as he looks up to the apprentice that dares to interrupt his slumber. How dare they! How would they want to get a nice claw to the nose- oh wait- he probably shouldn't do that. Morningpaw looked up at his attacker ( because they were, and they were evil for waking him up ).
Without bothering to answer the apprentice he had no name for, Morningpaw got to his paws and stretched and yawned before doing anything else. Less he just tear into this poor soul right then and there. That wouldn't do. A good clan mate doesn't curse their fellow apprentices for merely waking them up...on accident. "Fine. No thanks to you. What do you think you're doing anyways, being noisy and clumsy while others are trying to get some sleep?" He asked though he didn't really expect this fool to have a good answer for him.

"Yeeeup, I know, I know; that's on me. Swear it's like my paws have an agenda of their own sometimes." Morningpaw's attitude does not go overlooked, but Goldenpaw doesn't let it ruffle them. He's allowed to be grumpy getting woken up by someone toppling over him—would be odd if he wasn't, even. Goldenpaw settles down, offering an appropriately sheepish grin.
"Could I make it up to ya? Want me to getcha somethin' to eat? Fluff your nest? Ummmmm, call a thunderstorm so y'have an excuse to keep sleepin' in?" They list off, head lolling to the side at a progressively dramatic angle with each offered apology-gift. It wouldn't be a proper Goldenpaw apology if it wasn't injected with a bit of silliness, but they do appear sincere in their desire to make it up to Morningpaw. He's so grumpy that they're half worried he might just shoo them off, which...well. Goldenpaw knows how to spot a hint, but with their big calling in life, it's a little hard to actually take one.
That's hard to square, sometimes. Being everyone's friend sometimes means doing things they don't want you to, but doing things cats don't want you to typically makes it hard to befriend them. Generally speaking, Goldenpaw figures they can make up for the gap in logic with a bright enough attitude and a big enough smile. Which is obnoxious, yes—but that's the way it's gotta be. It's just gotta.
"Good morning, by the way," they add in a quick, almost mischievous whisper.

Morningpaw rolled his eyes. A mind of their own huh? Well the excuse was stupider than he thought it would be, how utterly annoying. Next time his paws got a mind of their own, Morningpaw's claws mad do the same. Well, that was, if Goldenpaw took the moment to trip over the bi-colored apprentice and then gave him a half-hearted apology. Wha- Wait What. A thunderstorm? Sleeping in? Morningpaw was not sleeping in it was hardly even that lat einto the morning! Green eyes moved from the apprentice over to the den's entry and peered outside. Oh.. well maybe it was a little bit later than he thought but still, Morningpaw was doing way better about not sleeping in, he just had a bad night of rest yesterday. The apprentice turned his attention back with a huff, "I'm not sleeping in, I was about to get up before you tripped over me."
The apprentice pushed himself up as he spoke, though huffed some more as he realized that he would be needing to get to training soon when he felt dead tired on his paws. He wanted to go back to sleep... ugh. This didn't help his mood at all as he looked over Goldenpaw as the other finished their words with a little 'good morning.' Morningpaw glared, "It's a bad morning actually." He stretched and then looked out towards the clearing again. An idea what in his mind, Morningpaw was planning to be made a warrior as early as possible but that meant he would be young and small for his warrior assessment, which meant he needed to get all of the battle practice he can. Soooo,
"Because you owe me, we are going to spar... if you're free and all. I need to practice my battling." The black and orange feline spoke shortly, not even really giving the other apprentice any time to actually decided if they were going or not before he was walking, albeit slowly, towards the den's exit. Not like they could spar in here or anything, he wasn't Goldenpaw, and so he didn't want to trip over any of the remaining apprentices... or mess up any nests. SO the clearing was the best place to do this.

"Oh sure," Goldenpaw feigns agreement, cheeky. In the back of her mind she feels bad for it; there's no way she'll befriend this guy if she's being sarcastic at him when he's already in a bad mood. Right? Like, probably not, anyway. So okay. If he says he was already waking up, then he was definitely already waking up. And, curse her for stumbling over him, so on.
Goldenpaw leans back a moment, fixing Morningpaw with an almost jarringly flat look. They don't wanna kowtow or grovel any more than they arguably already have—fluff your nest, hooo, that took strength to get out with a straight face—but they're very interested in fixing this and in getting their way. Which is to say, Goldenpaw wants Morningpaw to be their friend yesterday.
But he's preeeetty grumpy. So this'll be rough. I can do rough though, Goldenpaw reminds herself. I can do anything. Let's get it.
They set a fresh grin in place. Bad morning, huh? You could say that again, buddy. Stars. That was funny. That was funny, and Goldenpaw can't say it because they really don't think he'd appreciate the joke nearly as much. What a dummy—
Aht-aht!
A friend. He was going to be their friend. Think friendly thoughts.
"Hey, yeah, deal! I got time a-plenty, let's do it." Goldenpaw agrees, chipper as ever. He's got no experience that matters in this area, so he's eager to spar for that reason alone already. Spending quality time with someone who was going to be his friend one way or another was a happy bonus. Friendly thoughts. Friendly.
"I'm not too good at all that stuff though. You don't gotta go easy, I jus' don't wantcha to be surprised if-or-when I embarrass myself, y'know?" He chatters informatively, prancing happily after the other apprentice out to where they'd both have ample room to tussle. "You a real fighty-fight kinda guy, then? Or do you roll a little more with hunting? Or maybe you wanna be good at all of it? C'mon, I'm curious, what's your deal?" Goldenpaw prompts, eager to learn a little more about this fresh mark.
@ Oliver YOU GOT IT o7!

Morningpaw
He/him | TC apprentice | Moons: 6 | No purrks
"My deal is doing my job and then leaving, doesn't matter what task it is. If Bumblestar wants me to fight, I'll fight, if Spider throat wants me to hunt, then I'll hunt. Simple as that." The black and orange Tom mewed as he padded from the den with little waiting given for the other apprentice to react and join him, Morningpaw wasn't the most patient guy if you haven't noticed. He stopped towards the side of the clearing, where they wouldn't be immediately in the way but also would have space to toss each other around as needed.
"Well then, Let's begin? I've some brief training, but the reason why I want a spar is to practice!" It was the most emotion other than anger or annoyance that he has shown this entire encounter. Though now that the battle field has been laid out, and Morningpaw gave more than enough warning that this was about to begin, the black and orange apprentice wasted no time in
darting forward. Leaping up to full on tackle the apprentice head on with a toothy grin on his face. If he were to send the other apprentice, tumbling then Morningpaw would take the chance to batter at Goldenpaw's ears and face lightly. After all, he wasn't going for real damage, but it would mimic the act of blinding his opponent first thing in a fight and that would be a killer he imagines if he had a real one.

"Wuh-huh-hoahhh, that sounds kinda miserable, buddy." Goldenpaw remarks blithely. "C'mon. Y'don't even have, like, an eensy-weensy preference for either-or? What's Bumblestar an' Spiderthroat gotta do with you enjoyin' your life? It's the same stuff you're gonna be stuck with 'til you aren't anymore. Might as well pick favorites to pass the time without goin' bonkers."
Goldenpaw bobs happily after Morningpaw. Happily, because they refuse to do this any other way. That is a deliberate choice being made here—so, too, is the careful gaze being trained on Morningpaw. An unseen hole is being stared right into him by olive eyes belying how sickly fascinated Goldenpaw is. This guy. Usually you can act all dumbsilly and cats'll at least start bonding out of pity, but Morningpaw's proving to be made of colder stuff than all that. They wonder if they'll have to change things up drastically in order to get though to him...?
Goldenpaw hopes not. Dumbsilly is like a security blanket at this point. An unserious world has very few sharp edges to have to worry about. Yet here they are, trying to make a friend out of a cat with more points than a porcupine. Goldenpaw hopes he's still just working the wake-up crankies out of his system.
"Hey, by the by, I'm sorry. I think maybe that sounded like I was judgin' you, or like, gettin' all condescending with you 'cause of your disposition. That's not the case. I'm going to be friends with you, just so you know." Might as well try honesty. Goldenpaw's just sat there, all slouched and lax, clearly more worried about their own agenda than any kind of battle practice. Their feathery ginger tail is twitching erratically, beating the ground with a gentle tap-tap-tap. It's a similar noise to the wheels turning in their head. "Begin? Oh, yeah, sure, I guess it's time we did that. Hey so, this ain't any of my business in the least but I GOTTA ask, what are your parents li—AH!"
Goldenpaw isn't ready even a little bit, so Morningpaw's got the advantage of more experience, clearer focus, and the benefit of attacking an opponent who's thoroughly unprepared. Goldenpaw goes bouncing across the ground like a tumbleweed before squirming in outrage as their face and ears are pawed at. The best they can think to retaliate with is a frantic attempt at rabbitkicking out at Morningpaw with their hind feet (at the amateur expense of rolling to expose their belly in order to do so). It's both a shot at landing a hit, any hit, and trying to force some distance between Morningpaw and themself.
Goldenpaw's instantly ashamed at what a poor start they're off to; Morningpaw's finally smiling about something. Maybe this is the angle, then. They've got to figure out how to give him a good fight.
