private LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ( CATERPILLARPAW ) ༊

[ CW for some ableism >:( ]

Caterpillarpaw is someone she has spent quite some time with against her own will, the reason for such a thing being the apparent relation between the both of their mentors— siblings. Applepaw sometimes ponders if she would spend as much time with her siblings, when they were all warrior - aged with apprentices of their own. She thinks: certainly not. Perhaps the difference was that Granitepelt nor Siltcloud were utterly embarrassing in every sense of the word. They may do more than co - exist in the same dreary place. It would not be a detriment to Granitepelt's reputation to hang around Siltcloud. Nor would the opposite apply.

If she were Siltcloud, she would rather concern herself with her apprentice, whom Applepaw has seen do little else besides snivel and trip over her own words. By the nature of their arrangement, she would think them representative of who she ought to compare herself to. And, well, as far as she saw, Applepaw believed she was winning.

Of course, there is no actual competition, but it gives her something easier to think about, if she thinks there is.

Applepaw drifts closer to the apprentice in question, an lightsmile planted on her maw. You could take her approach for a friendly one... and it isn't as if it were meant to be unfriendly, " Hey, you like, can't see at all, can you? How do you hunt? " her tone sounds curious, and really, she was. Should Applepaw even spend any energy thinking about her at all?

BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS

caterpillarpaw is a very timid cat by nature. she likes to think she's good at things but... her mentor was very clear. the world was unforgiving and it didn't care that caterpillarpaw was nervous or overly kind. she was never mean to caterpillar, and she was grateful for that. it made her a little less rational when it came to some of the things she said, like not trusting other clans and such. she didn't want to upset siltcloud. she didn't wanna upset anyone. so applepaw's approach makes her nose twitch and her sightless eyes move back.

applepae speaks before she gets and chance and her ears pin nervously against her head.

"no i can't... and i hunt just like i-i walk, I guess."

she squeaks, clearing her throat before shaking her head.

"it's not that hard. i just use my nose and whiskers. I don't know how seeing works so I can't really... tell you how it would work. how do you hunt, applepaw? are you good at fighting?"
 
Applepaw sees that she makes her nervous. She knows now that that was no bad thing. It meant she was competent. It meant she was worth respecting.

I hunt just like I walk. Well— anyone could walk. If there was one thing any ShadowClanner could do, it was that. They're aimless, though. Treading with bees in their brain. without caring at all if the other clans respect them or not. Anyone could put one paw in front of the other. Applepaw would do much more than that, though.

Applepaw quirks a brow that her fellow apprentice would not see. Caterpillarpaw questions her, as if there was a doubt in her mind about Applepaw's own ability. A twinge of annoyance, Applepaw's eyes narrow. how do you hunt, Applepaw? " Well, " she answers. are you good at fighting? She breathes in. " I will be. "

She would cast a glance to camp's entrance, ears twitching. " I'm not sure I understand you, " she says, willing her tone to something more airy. She had no reason to let someone like her get on her nerves, at all. " Why don't you show me how you hunt? We could make it a friendly competition. "
