.·:*¨༺ ❀ ༻¨*:·. “Can you keep up alright?” From over her shoulder, Morningcloud calls down to her apprentice from where they have nearly reached the top of the ravine. Bugpaw only just been made an apprentice, but Morningcloud was quick to use the dizzying excitement that still sparked under the young girls paw for something productive- a tour. Hoisting herself over the edge, Morningcloud turns on her heel to watch her apprentice finish the climb, ready to offer a supportive paw if needed. Once the duo has successfully climbed out of the ravine, Morningcloud turns on her heel with a beckoning tail. ”Today we’ll be going around the territory. Sandy Hollow, Owl Tree, the Great Sycamore…” Snakerocks would not be on the list today. ”After you know the forest, we can work on getting you familiar with our shared borders, how does that sound?” Morningcloud spares her apprentice an earnest grin.
The first path the duo’s paws set on will be the Sandy Hollow, she decides. Carefully, she picks her way through the undergrowth, sparing Bugpaw quick glances to make sure the little one is keeping up. The journey from camp to the hollow isn’t too long, and soon shrubbery falls away to a sandy clearing encircled by towering oaks. “This is where we’ll be spending many days, the sandy terrain makes it the perfect place for sparring and practicing your hunting techniques.” Morningcloud smiles, reminiscent. “Go ahead, explore.”

*+:。.。 "Yep yep!" Bugpaw trills, each step aflutter with exhilaration. Although Morningcloud's stride was much larger than Bugpaw's, that wasn't the cause behind Bugpaw's difficulty in keeping up. Lemon-colored hues would flit from spot to spot, like a bumble bee that couldn't decide which flower to land on. She craned her neck to follow the growth of every tree up to its peak, paused to sniff every waving frond of grass and fern, and happily went out of her way to crunch on pine cones and leaf litter. Sliding down into the ravine, Bugpaw would pause yet again to stare in awe at either side of the trench. "It goes on forever!" she comments with a gasp, "Can we see where it leads?" Remembering she's meant to be following Morningsong, she quickly scurries to catch up.

She huffs and puffs as she pulls her kitten-chunky body over the steep lip, not used to exerting herself so much. Running around camp when your legs were longer than the camp was wide was one thing, but traveling the territory with all its rises and dips was a whole new experience! She, of course, loved it all! Sandy hollow, Owl tree, Great Sycamore..."Sounds like an adventure!" comes her response, an exclamation punctuated with a happy little leap into the air.

She follows as closely behind Morningcloud as she can, despite always having her attention drawn away. She would've bombarded the older woman with a million questions had she not been so focused on everything at once. She wondered, though, how her siblings were doing. She hoped Sunpaw, Squirrelpaw, and Scorchedpaw were having fun, too!
Suddenly, the foliage beneath her paws gives way to something rough, yet slippery. She squeaks, jumping back, before gazing in awe as her eyes finally settle on the Sandy Hollow. Clocking back into focus, she listens as Morningcloud explains the benefits of this unique aspect of Thunderclan's territory. Mind working fast, Bugkit chirps, "Oh, oh, I'll bet cats grain a lot of knowledge training here, huh?" she giggles at her joke.

When given the go-ahead, Bugpaw takes off.
Sniffing, pawing, trailing behind familiar scents dispersed all over the area. "A lot of cats have been here!" she comments, sniffing at a particular spot that smells recent. "Did you train here when you were a 'paw? What was it like?" she asks, eyes wide.
