It didn't take the smartest cat to know that they had a shadow following them. It also helped that Adderstrike did say she was going to talk about her pain later. Was she ready for the later to be right now? No not particularly. That and there was still a lot of cats around this area. A short walk out of camp would be fine and there wasn't any rules about taking apprentices out right now. After they started to leave the camp Adderstrike looked behind herself to see if Primrosepaw was following her still, and gave her a meek smile seeing that her apprentice was. The only problem she had was that she couldn't find any words to say as they left.

Finally the warrior stopped by an old oak tree and sat down by it, studying the vine that grew up the side of the ancient behemoth. "Well..." Adderstrike sighed, words were harder than fighting for her life. And she had done that several times... But did she really want to buckle when things seemed hard? If so, who the hell was she then, as there was no way she could be Adderstrike at that rate! Adderstrike fixed her slumped posture and took a deep breath. "You wanted to know what was bothering me right?" She said looking to Primrosepaw with a renewed light in her eyes. Maybe this would be some kind of growth moment for the both of them.

Primrosepaw followed Adderstrike quietly, her paws moving in sync with the rhythm of the forest around them. She noticed the shift in her mentor’s demeanor, the way Adderstrike seemed to wrestle with her thoughts. Primrosepaw’s heart ached slightly, sensing the weight of whatever burden Adderstrike was carrying.

When they stopped by the old oak tree, Primrosepaw settled down beside her mentor, her emerald eyes steady and patient as she watched Adderstrike study the vine. She didn’t push or prod, understanding that whatever Adderstrike was about to share wasn’t easy for her.

As Adderstrike finally spoke, Primrosepaw’s ears perked up, catching the determination in her mentor’s voice. The light in Adderstrike’s eyes was a welcome sight, and Primrosepaw felt a surge of respect for her mentor’s strength.

“I did,” Primrosepaw replied softly, her tone gentle and encouraging. “But only if you’re ready to talk about it. I’m here to listen, and I won’t judge. Whatever it is, we’ll face it together.”

She wanted to offer her support without putting any pressure on Adderstrike, knowing that sometimes just having someone to listen could make all the difference.
