The scents of new-leaf filled Tabbyfur's body with an excitement for the day. The smells of plants and flowers were always something that she enjoyed, and she somewhat envied Mallownose and Warmpaw for having the luxury of herbs in their den constantly, rather than a den filled with warriors. Oh yes, she could definitely get used to that - minus the responsibility of the whole clan's health, that is.
In all honesty, she was still surprised by the fact that she was an actual mentor rather than an apprentice anymore, and a sense of nostalgia filled her body as she thought about how
she used to be the one chasing after her mentor. Apprentice... Apprentice! Tabbyfur snapped out of her gaze and halted to a stop by the Sandy Hollow. She turned to Snowpaw, who seemed out of breath and exhausted already. Her whiskers quivered humorously. '
I suppose that's one way of warming up.' she thought to herself.
"What are we going to be practicing today?" Her apprenticed mewed enthusiastically.
"Well, I figured that we could work on a battle move for the time being, and some general battle practice? If that's alright with you?" The new-leaf weather was taking a toll on Tabbyfur - especially with her thick pelt, and she wished she had passed the stream to get a drink. Oh well.
"Right; I'll demonstrate the move on you and then I want you to copy me, okay?" Without waiting for a reply, Tabbyfur gathered herself into a crouch, as if she was about to spring like a snake.
"Just stand there as if you're about to attack me, if that's okay.."Duskclaw was furiously trying to groom and get out a piece of moss out of his fur when he heard Gingerflame's yowls at Hawkstar. "HAWKSTAR!" Admittedly, he jumped at the sound of the she cat's voice, though it wasn't an unfamiliar thing to hear from the stubborn queen. '
Geez, she's playing a dangerous game..' He could see that Hawkstar was getting progressively more impatient in comparison to the she-cat who was evidently not holding back her rage, for whatever reason. After a few moments, she furiously turned to the queens den, carrying a pile of herbs.
"Everything quite alright, Hawkstar?" He called out to the leader, as he slowly stood up and walked over to him.
