Warmpaw mrrowed with laughter as his mentor finished his story. The tansy nearly fell out of his mouth, but it was well worth it. He wondered if he would have tales like this to tell his own apprentice some day. Then, if he had his own apprentice, that would mean Mallownose would probably be gone. The small cat shook his head, no matter what, he would make sure his mentor lived on, not just in StarClan.

It didn't take long for them to reach the river. Warmpaw wanted to go first, just to prove to himself that he could do it without slipping. He jumped on to the first stone, so far so good! The rest of them proved to be easy, but the last one was much more slick than the others. When he landed, he slid forward. He knew that if he didn't jump, he would fall into the river. With all his strength, he launched himself off the rock, hoping he hadn't crushed the tansy in the process. Once he landed, he laid the leaves on the ground and inspected them.

Once across, Warmpaw followed his mentor to the holly bush.
[color=f7976a]"Do you think tomorrow we could.. maybe practice some battle techniques?"[/color] he meowed the question quietly as he placed his his bunch beneath the foliage.
