private i never see the threat too soon (twinklepaw)

[bubbleburst]

〔✦〕Bubbleburst still cannot contain her excitement in regards to having an apprentice. In fact, she had had to contain herself at the meeting, trying not to scoop up and carry away Twinklepaw to their first training session as soon as she'd been assigned to mentor them. Nauseous thrill, a mix between nervousness and enthusiasm, churns in her stomach as she waits for her apprentice to meet her just outside camp. It still feels like Bubbleburst had been an apprentice just yesterday, named just moments before Twinklepaw. However, Lichenstar had deemed her worthy of helping to foster a new generation of warriors. And not just that, but one of her own children.

She is very happy to have been given this duty. She could hardly sleep last night, tossing and turning in her nest and surely bothering all her nearby denmates as they tried to rest. Yet, despite her excitement, she can't help but feel apprehension. Bubbleburst knows she is not the best fighter despite her diplomacy and hunting skills. What if she's a terrible teacher? What if she leads Twinklepaw astray or teaches her something wrong? What if Lichenstar is disappointed with how Bubbleburst trains them? Bubbleburst begins to pace without realizing it, trying to physically exorcise her worries.

The reeds rustle, and Bubbleburst snaps her gaze to the camp entrance. She stops pacing and tries to compose herself as best as she can. "Hi!" Bubbleburst chirps excitedly at the first sight of Twinklepaw emerging from camp to meet her "Are you ready? What do you want to focus on first?" The silvery warrior swallows the rest of her questions, knowing that if she doesn't she'll surely overwhelm the apprentice- her apprentice- with her over-enthusiasm. Suddenly, her apprehension is gone, and Bubbleburst is filled with confidence.

[Twinkleflight]

Out of all the warriors to be reassigned as her mentor they had to admit they were pretty excited that Bubbleburst was the one her mother chose. Twinklepaw isn't close to her by any means but she's excitable and chipper, something that the she-cat likes to think that she is too. So what wouldn't make them an ideal pair? She's not leader so they don't have to really worry about this which they thought was pretty grand. "Hi!" She chitters out as they trot out from the camp's entrance, trying to hold herself back from bounding about in excitement.

Unaware to Bubbleburst's anxiety around being a good mentor she herself carries an air of enjoyment and curiosity that they hope is normal for an apprentice to have. They carefully consider their mentors question, what did they want to focus on first? She's not the greatest fighter but she's not the greatest hunter either, turns out trying to hold herself back on purpose had it's set backs. They found that even when trying they were struggling to be an acceptable level when they compare themself to their peers.

She reminisces with disdain about that eel that just seemed too slippery for herself and Snakeblink to catch. Maybe if they became a really good hunter then no eel would slip by her again. "Can we hunt? I want to focus on that first" it was strange to make that call but they figured it was probably smarter than just assuming what they may or may not know. "Do you like hunting?" Their first thought was to ask if she was good at hunting rather than if she likes it. Recently there's been an attempt to think before she speaks, it's a struggle but they remembered to actually do that this time.

"Can you catch eels?" Curiosity glimmers in her eyes, sparkling blue eyes look up at the silvery warrior. Their tail curls and unfurls as they spoke, whiskers twitching in thought. Struggling to keep still she's clearly eager to run off at the approval at Bubbleburst.
