pafp KNIGHTED 𓆩 ♕ 𓆪 APPRENTICE TALK

[HOLLYPAW]

𓆩 ♕ 𓆪　The days tick by, and this moon's meeting grows ever-closer. Hollykit will remain in the nursery, but she vibrates with nearly as much nerves and excitement at the prospect of another's ceremony. "Sangriakit!" calls the kit as his friend returns from their nest, bounding over on eager paws. Blandishments spill from its maw, proper titles befit a soon-to-be apprentice. "Fearsome bug-catcher! Kit of two worlds!" He gives a small mock-bow of reverence, giddy grin on his face.

And then he's bouncing back up, circling the other kit excitedly, raking eyes across her many-colored pelt. "You'll be Sangriapaw soon," he declares. She knows, certainly - but it helps to clarify the occassion. He stops in front of her, eyes glittering.

Hollykit gives a small nod then, seemingly satisfied with his assessment of the other apprentice. "You'll be the best at being an apprentice, I think. You're already a good hunter! Already training... Training, training, to become a warrior... I wonder who your mentor will be? Do you know yet? Do you know who you want?" He leans forwards. Does he know who he wants? Probably his mama, since his dad can't. But Sangriakit has two mamas - oh, it must be so hard to choose! One mom for each kit, maybe... His mind moves quickly, his mouth quicker. "Oh - ! Is it exciting...? I'd be excited. I will, because I'll be a 'paw soon too." An important reminder.

She'll be moving dens soon... Something occurs to the kit suddenly, and he leans back a bit, head tilting like a lost puppy. "You won't forget about me until then, right?" Something sobering creeps into her voice at the end, eyes wide. "Promise you won't?" It's urgent, serious now - but the giddiness still rests beneath the nervous surface.

[SANGRIAPAW]

✧ Every morning while she walks alongside Coffeekit to camp, all the cinnamon torbie can think about is how she’s almost an apprentice. In just a few days, she’ll be old enough to become one, and she just can’t wait to find out what it’s like! She can’t wait to find out who her mentor will be, either… once, she would have hoped that it would be Orangestar, but now she hopes to be assigned to someone other than the leader instead. Twitchbolt, Johnnyflame, Fantastream—there are so many good warriors who could be her mentor!

Her looming apprenticeship is still clear in her mind as she enters SkyClan’s camp, and quickly Hollykit is calling her name, drawing her attention to mottled brown fur and bright green eyes. Her friend douses her in praise—he bows to her like a warrior would their leader, and a bright smile alights on Sangriakit’s face. Hollykit reminds her that she’ll be a ’paw soon, eliciting a pleased giggle from the girl. "Yeah, Sangriapaw! It sounds cool, doesn’t it? Hollypaw’s gonna sound even cooler, though, isn’t it?" The other kit isn’t far off from becoming an apprentice, too, and she finds herself growing excited for his apprenticeship as well as her own.

For now, merely imagining who her mentor will be is enough to keep her focused on the conversation at hand. "Yeah, I'm super excited. I sure hope I’ll be a good apprentice… I don’t know who my mentor’s gonna be, but I hope it’s somebody fun, like Flora! Or Twitchbolt, or Johnnyflame, or… anyone! I just want a good mentor. And I bet you’ll get a good one too, when you become an apprentice!" In a flash, the mood of their conversation turns a bit too sober for Sangriakit’s liking. Instead of excitement, concern paints the other she-kit’s face, and she asks if Sangriakit will… forget about her. That’s… ridiculous! "Of course I won’t forget about you," she promises—and it is a promise. Hollykit had asked for it, and so Sangriakit complies. "You’re like, my best friend. So I’ll definitely come tell you allll about what it’s like being an apprentice, okay?" And maybe when all her apprentice stuff is done, they can still have time to play before Sangriakit has to head home for the night! Or at least, she hopes so…

She had been sunning herself rather than indulging in the other kits games when Hollykit's voice and Sangriakit's voice snaps her out of her sundrunk stupor. The purring draws to a stop as she sits upwards, blinking at both of them as she inadvertently eavesdrops. Sounds like they're talking about apprenticeship, something Ricekit has no care in the world for; she's bored, so she listens in anyways.

You're like, my best friend- Ricekit doesn't need to listen anymore. The envy that burns within her is just as green as her eyes. It lights a fire in her chest that ignites so bright and so fast that it threatens to melt the threads barely holding her emotions together, it threatens to burn her wax wings. Hollykit was her best friend, not Sangriakit's. Her best friend, not Sangria's, hers and only hers.

She hadn't realized her gaze was burning upon Sangria, so wholly consumed in her righteous fire. She looks away.

"But you'll be super busy as an apprentice." Ricekit says innocently, head tilting a smidge. Satisfaction rolls through her like waves. You'll be busy, and Hollykit will play with me. The edge of her eye twitches but she plays it off as an itch, bringing a paw to rub at it as she stares. This isn't fair to her, something within her says. Ricekit feels weird about it all of the sudden and her intense air lets up tenfold.

Ricekit grinds her teeth together as she thinks for something to say. "Being an apprentice is a lot of work, i've heard... Are you ready for it?" Ricekit tilts her head again, its a more innocent question than her previous sentence, no underlying motive (not yet at least). Patrolling borders, taking orders, Ricekit is glad she isn't one yet. She likes being able to play whenever she wants. She likes spending time with her dad. If they were both warrior and apprentice, Ricekit wouldn't have any time to do so. Maybe i'll get dad as my mentor? She flicks her tail, closing her eyes for a brief moment. That'd be nice.

[CANDORPAW]

Kit of two worlds... That sounded very cool. Candorkit wonders if Hollykit would have an equally cool name for him if he asked... Candorkit listens a little ways away, not wanting to interrupt their conversation, but very curious all the same... Sangriakit would be Sangriapaw soon, that's right. And he'd be Candorpaw soon too, yeah. Which is why... he is somewhat shocked to hear Hollykit so boldly claim that Sangriakit would be the best apprentice. "Best" is very... weighty, no? He cannot help but chime in with this. " Oh wow, the best? " he mews, shuffling his paws. He'd be the best, wouldn't he? Not like Sangriakit couldn't also be the best, but...

Mentors... Candorkit has htought of his mentor before, but only because he would like Blazestar to come down for the clouds and be his mentor. That probably wouldn't happen though, so maybe next best would be, um... Orangestar?

He has to agree that Hollypaw sounds a little bit cooler, only because he isn't sure what a "Sangria" is... but wouldn't Candorpaw be cool too? No — it definitely would be, he knows that without asking! He didn't know Hollykit and Sangriakit are best friends though... If his best friend isn't Hollykit, who is his best friend...?

And then Ricekit points out that apprenticeship is busy... They know this, don't they? Are you ready for it? He definitely was! But... that's not what Ricekit is asking, is it? " I'm sure she is! " honestly, he says. He believes he and his denmates are ready for anything!​
