[H1][color=f7976a]Warmpaw[/color][/h1] [color=f7976a]"Of course!"[/color] Warmpaw purred as he jumped onto the first stone. Mallownose had done it easily, so there had to be nothing to it. He nearly slipped off and into the river, but was able to steady himself. After regaining his balance, he took more care in his following leaps. He was a lot slower than his mentor, but he made it safely across. [color=f7976a]"Whew! That was close!"[/color] Warmpaw laughed off his near 'near death' experience. Then his mind registered what all had been said. He looked up at Mallownose and pride radiated off of him. [color=f7976a]"You think of me as your son?"[/color] the smile on his face and the twinkle in his eye mirrored the affection he felt in his heart. [color=f7976a]"That makes me very happy.. but I don't think I will ever be as good as you."[/color] As they walked on, Warmpaw became curious as to where getting lost came from. He purred softly, [color=f7976a]"Have you ever gotten lost, Mallownose?"[/color] the humor was obvious, and he hoped he didn't sound accusing. When they reached the tansy, Warmpaw followed Mallownose's instructions to the letter, but took it one at a time. He wanted to make sure he didn't damage the plants. Once he felt he had picked enough, he showed his collection to the tom. [color=f7976a]"Is this enough?"[/color] [H2][color=0054a6]Shadowpaw[/color][/h2] "YOUR GONNA BE IN THAT FRESH KILL PILE WHEN I'M DONE!" Shadowpaw rolled as Stonepaw jumped off of him, his plush white fur getting dirty in all that dirt. He didn't mind though, dirt never killed any cat. His tail, however, flicked in annoyance. He had no idea where they were going. He looked at Stonepaw expectantly. [color=0054a6]"Do you know where we will be going to hunt?"[/color] His attention then turned back to the entrance as Shadowpaw watched his mother slip out of camp. He knew she liked to take walks when she was upset, and this appeared to be no different. Still, she should be close to kitting now and being out alone was dangerous. Shadowpaw started to stalk off after her, but he could see his mentor coming. Looking away for just a moment, he lost her in the undergrowth. He frowned, unsure of what to do. He decided to leave her be, a fresh scolding awaited him if he tattled on her to one of the other warriors.
