	The apprentice looked up and laughed a bit under her breath at Duskclaw's strands of moss. "[color=FFFF83]I'm sure you've more important things to do.[/color]" She meowed as her ball of moss came loose from the tree. It was a good size, especially because it was thick, but she could wrap another piece around it and still carry it in her jaws. She grabbed the ball in her teeth from where she had held it against the roots, and then placed it on the ground once she pulled it off. She straightened and looked at the warrior with a smile in her eyes, "[color=FFFF83]Yeah... Definitely not my favorite thing to do, especially while hunting is finally so good![/color]" This was her first New-Leaf as an apprentice, and in contrast when she had became an apprentice in Leaf-Bare, the bountiful prey excited her and motivated her to practice. "[color=FFFF83]I see it as I'll only have to do these things now, and when I'm older, there'll be other apprentices for it.[/color]"

	Honeypaw started poking around the roots again, enjoying the earthly smells she found near the moist dirt. The leaves overhead rustled with the landing of a brightly-colored songbird, and Honeypaw watched its reflective coat flit about the tree limbs for a moment before it sailed away on the wind. She held back a bored sigh, and her head swept downwards and back to the sycamore's roots. Soon enough she found what she was looking for and repeated the tedious task of pulling it easily off the root. Her thoughts turned to the scene in camp this morning, and she was curious if Duskclaw knew what Gingerflame had been so upset about. She didn't want to pry where she didn't belong. "[color=FFFF83]Hey, Duskclaw,[/color]" she started, a bit hesitantly, because at first she wasn't sure she wanted to continue, but then went on, "[color=FFFF83]Is... Is Gingerflame alright? She seemed very upset this morning.[/color]" The apprentice was concerned about the queen, Gingerflame was her mother's mother and her own kin, not just searching for clan gossip.
