The initial sting — of rejection and confusion, which had lodged itself like a strange thorn in Hawkcloud's chest during the meeting — had faded nearly as quickly as it had struck. She felt certain that Magpiepaw had a perfectly reasonable explanation for not approaching her after being named her new apprentice, and even for the fierce glare they directed at Lichenstar instead of meeting her gaze. The she-cat's certainty only grew stronger after she'd had a good rest and could forget a bit of the anger in the younger cat's eyes. Though the reason itself remains undiscovered as yet, Hawkcloud is sure that as the two grow closer with time, they'll share a hearty laugh over the matter once it's revealed. She guesses that Magpiepaw must be nervous about the uncertain situation, a theory solidified by their reluctance to greet her and their failure to return her smiles when she passes by. But Hawkcloud has pondered deeply on the best way to continue her new apprentice's training, convinced that they would warm up to her soon.
In the soft light of early morning as the greenleaf sun begins its ascent, promising a day of warmth before the stifling heat arrives — Hawkcloud calls Magpiepaw from the apprentice's den. With a spring in her step, she guides the black-and-white feline through the whispering reeds toward the beech copse, where the trees arch gracefully overhead and cast a welcome hatching of shadows upon the clearing. She bounces on her paws in excitement as they enter the grassy area and she turns to face Magpiepaw. This will be her first time as a mentor, and she looks forward to teaching the apprentice all she can. She's earned the honor, as Lichenstar believes. And their leader couldn't be wrong. "So," Hawkcloud chirps, her voice bright and cheerful, her eager smile bright as the day's sunshine. The misunderstanding of the meeting was behind them, and everything would be alright. "Where did your last mentor leave off?"
