private IT DON'T MATTER [ territory tour ]

[falcongaze]

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- Falcongaze was a hint concerned about how Radiopaw would take to a territory trip. He had instructed the young apprentice to eat a meal, to finish moving into the apprentice's den before he was taking him out. It was just past sunhigh, but Falcongaze was going to take to staying near the water, underneath the shade, where the sun couldn't chase them back to camp for a long rest before Falcongaze considered the territory explored. He thinks, perhaps, he'd head towards the far side of the territory first, closest to the river...

His ears twitched, head tilting towards Radiopaw as they exited camp. "We won't be able to cover the entire territory before sundown, but we'll make it to seeing Riverclan's border, and Tall Pine along the way." Falcongaze informed. His tone wasn't informal, but it wasn't strictly formal either- somewhere in the nice medium. Greeneyes, he thinks to himself, was far better at this. Falcongaze couldn't have even considered in the moment if his former mentor had an apprentice before him. Once again, the thought was shook off.

Blue eyes searched the territory before them, ears perked to ensure there was no predators along their route. A sudden protective urge had burned upon him like a brand once Radiopaw had touched noses with him. Falcongaze had sworn to himself then and there he wouldn't let anything happen to Radiopaw. "Tell me what you smell as we travel, okay?" He glances towards Radiopaw as they walked.

"wild hearts run"​

Radiopaw was maybe not the best student. But he was sure excited! That made up for it, surely. He weaved around Falcongaze and various small trees, mostly listening. RiverClan... Tallpine... he repeated mentally. The forest was huge! "Well I smell a lotta pine." he meowed matter-of-factly. ​

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- His ears twitched as his apprentice weaved about him, the territory, around saplings and smaller, younger trees. His eyes never moved from ahead- though he did glance every now and against to make sure the younger was keeping up. "The forest is made mostly of pine. Is there anything else- anything like the freshkill at camp?" He questioned.

Of course, he wasn't going to push the issue of scenting today- after all, it was just the first day. Eyes shifted forward as they made it to Tall Pine. A large, towering tree, one far older then the rest, with branches heavy with needles. "This is Tallpine." He meowed, coming to a stop as he tilted his gaze up at it. "This is where the strongest of our climbers test their limits- and it's extremely dangerous, too." Falcongaze mentioned quietly.

"wild hearts run"​

Radiopaw nearly snorted at Falcongaze's sincerity. "It's just a tree, it can't be that dangerous," he mewed. His grin was close to shit-eating, but just innocent enough. He was starting to feel the heat despite his cheekiness, his almost completely black pelt absorbing the sun like no other. "I'll race you next time," he promised jokingly. He nudged his mentor with his shoulder, desperately hoping he'd lighten up a bit. It's not like he was some fragile kit. He was even a moon late to be apprenticed (thanks Glitchpaw.) He could hold his own.​

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- His vision switched to his apprentice. He stared for a long moment, and while stunned at the answer, the gentle nudge to his shoulder make embarrassment taste bitter- but he did relax just a hint. ".. Falling can be dangerous." He finally said, tone a hint warmer then before. "When I'm confident you won't fall in undue manner, then we can race." He said- tail tapped the other across the shoulders before he was moving on.

As they walked to the border, Falcongaze chattered here and there about what they were smelling, hearing, seeing- what plants to avoid touching, what scent trails were more rewarding then others. When his throat had begun to burn and ache, they had made it to the Riverclan border, vision looking out across the water. "And this is Riverclan. We'll be seeing this more often in the coming months." He said, staring over the water.

It was calm today- no sudden rains and the lack of winter-melt meant it was lower in level, but it was still a daunting thing, all pools and hidden current. "Riverclan's territory extends over the river, and the prey inside. It's best not to enter, less you enjoy breaking codes and tradition." His voice was slightly teasing, but also testing, just to see what Radiopaw would say.

"wild hearts run"​

Radiopaw gave a light-hearted "pah," at Falcongaze's clarification. He'd be fine... for sure, right? Yeah. The scents all kind of blended together for him, not that he paid much mind to it. He tried to pay attention, he really did. Giving a soft mumble of acknowledgement every few sentences. He mostly nodded along at that point, though as they got closer to the river, the breeze coming off the water cooled his baking pelt considerably. "I'll bend the rule to cool off sometime," he mewed touching the water with a paw. "Yuck, or maybe I'll stay dry over here," he added. He did use that water to flick at Falcongaze, however. ​
