border HIGH TIDE ♥︎ MENTOR&APPRENTICE

[DOEBLAZE]

Aglow with dawn, the world sprawls out before the two figures that cut through the pines, dew - misted and alight with promise. Dayglow creeps through feathered firs, peach - ripened pink spreading up from the distant horizon; Doeblaze wakes with the sun, and now, so does @mica~. A darker - washed pelt akin to her own moves ( perhaps a touch sleepily ) at her side, given the previous sun - scorched afternoon off to rest and celebrate, new pelts aflurry in the apprentice's den—no doubt a hailstorm of moss and excitement—as the latest round of trainees had made their new nests there.

Today, though, their training begins with a soft - edged vigor; Doeblaze may wield herself like a well - honed weapon, but the bladed edge would never be pointed towards her new charge. The granting of a second apprentice had been an unexpected honor and a gift, and she plans to do as best by Cloudypaw as she's able. She'd woken him as gently as she'd been able to manage given her early rising, and after a drink from the stream, they'd set out into glowing sunrise . . . for what better way to begin an apprenticeship than a tour of the territory Cloudypaw would ( hopefully ) one day live and breathe, just as she did?

" Here's the RiverClan border now, " she mrrows as an aside when the backlit silver of the river comes into view, limned in the light of the sun, now properly risen and washing the world in rosy gold . . . a pleasantry for now, though sure to turn hellishly hot by midday. She gazes towards the rippling water, recalling with a shiver the mountain river Ferngill had towed her out of . . . she has no idea how they do it, truly. " We get along with them well, all things considered. "

" What can you tell me about them? " The lilac tabby blinks . . . are those pelts shifting amongst the reeds on the opposite side? A RiverClan patrol coming by, maybe . . . well, the sooner Cloudypaw met their neighbors, the better. Doeblaze has no designs on her apprentice being one of the smattering of those who spit venom over borders and start spats over squirrels. Shredded ears twitch to hear the tom's answer, and she tips her head towards the approaching cats.

" There's a patrol now. It's important to be polite on the borders, regardless of what the other cats might say. " More likely to be an issue on the next border they'd visit, all things considered, but still . . . it couldn't hurt to instill some diplomacy early in Cloudypaw's training. Doeblaze blinks her lone eye in what she hopes is a friendly manner as the patrol nears the shoreline, meowing with a courteous tip of the head, " Good morning. "

OOC : No need to wait for Cloudypaw to post! :-)

[SANDPELT]

ꕀꕀ The river’s sprawl is beautiful in the morning, when the sun is only barely peeking over the horizon. Sandpelt has had a lot to think about recently, and the orange-pink reflection of the sunrise in the water’s surface helps him to relax and just… forget about it all for a moment. In that single moment, the tortoiseshell tom forgets that he’s supposed to be patrolling the border—so when he hears a voice from the other side of the river, he’s a bit surprised. He perks up a bit, tail flicking to alert the rest of the patrol in case they haven’t noticed the other cats yet.

After alerting the others, the tom pushes through the reeds with careful pawsteps. At last he can see across the border, where another one-eyed cat stares back at the patrol. SkyClan. "Hey," he greets, smiling gently at the duo. A mentor an apprentice, it looks like. He doesn’t know either of them by name, but he recognizes the one-eyed warrior from her participation in the journey, when everyone got sick. "Just the two of y’all? How’s it goin’?"

〔✦〕Skyclan was a rather strange place to see and meet. They had cats from all kinds of walks of life with different names for them all as well. The young black and white cat gave a small flick of its' tail idly behind them as they followed along behind Sandpelt. They tom seems to alert them to something and they pick up their ears slightly in response before trotting along faster. Across the river was this molly with a younger cat and they wondered if this was a new apprentice or something. Still they smelled strangely from over here with the breeze that dared to try to blow by on such a stuffy day.

Magpiepaw flicks an ear for a moment as Sandpelt calls out to the two cats and then they dip their head in response to them as well. There was a million questions burning in their chest over the whole thing as they wanted to know more about the clans. Gladefrost had told them about the clans from when they were young but they didnt get the real answers they wanted. Just what they had been told by their sister and what she knew wasnt a whole lot to begin with. More than them but besides the point, they wanted answers to the real questions at hand.

Regardless, the young apprentice shook out their coat slightly as if bothered by a bug flying by before voicing after Sandpelt, "I hope all is well on your side" They flick their tail a little as they werent sure how to go about this conversation. So they'd leave it the warriors' for the most part.

જ➶ Skyclan never sits well with her. Given her disdain for kittypets most likely that is the reason why. She doesn't see the point nor reason to just allow the freeloaders into the clan. Wasting their time to train them when it'll end in most retirning to their soft and cushiony lives. The idea alone is appalling but she doesn't speak her words as they come upon a mentor and their apprentice. Instread she sticks close to Magpiepaw, eyes narrowed just slightly. While others speak friendly words she merely looks annoyed with having to stop what they are doing and speak at all. A rough sigh leaves her muzzle then before she rests her chin against Magpie's shoulder gently. Now having a faint wisp of boredom to her gaze. "I guess this is one way to kill time." The older apprentice mutters befoee glancing towards her mentor who she knows is close by.

Maybe they can all go hunting later. Well, they as in her mentor and Magpiepaw. Those are the only cats present at the moment she cares to spend time with. A soft look enters her gaze then and she oddly thinks of what Mothpaw might be doing before she shakes her head focuses on the Skyclanners.

𓆝 . ° ✦"They're definitely water cats," Cloudypaw replied with only the confidence that ignorance brought. He was disheveled, not bothering to smooth his fur in his anticipation of today. The whole world was gonna be shown to him, of course they were excited! The tabby-splotched apprentice smiled broadly as his attention was caught by Sandpelt. "Hi! I'm Mi- uh, Cloudypaw!"

[DOEBLAZE]

They're definitely water cats, Cloudypaw replies brightly, and the warrior breaks into a huff of amusement. " They certainly are, " she mrrows, muzzle curving in humor at the blithe accuracy of her apprentice's remark. " They're the only Clan who swims, " she begins in explanation, tail flicking behind her as one forepaw traces an idle circle in the clear coolness of the river. " They eat fish, mostly. See how shiny their pelts are? " This last is murmured in a low tone meant for Cloudypaw alone, so as not to offend any of the opposing patrol.

Cloudypaw hurries to introduce himself, and she hums approvingly, tail swishing behind her as a tan - furred tom emerges from the reeds, flanked by a couple of warriors with apprentices of their own. His countenance, unlike their other neighbors, is smiling and mostly unmarred by obvious contempt; much like her, his left eye is scarred and absent. " Just us, " she confirms pleasantly, nodding towards Cloudypaw. " It's his first day out of camp. "

" Things are good here. I hope RiverClan is doing well? " She leaves out the rash of rogue and fox attacks, the way threats seem to seep in from the unclaimed borders; if another Clan inquires, prey is always running well and the Clan is flourishing. A couple of the RiverClan apprentices speak up, one with an equally polite sentiment, the other in a mutter she doesn't quite catch, leaning against each other. She nods to the pair.
