Plucking up the courage to start his first day of training with Pumpkinpaw was a little more difficult than Twitchbolt had anticipated. In the darkness, huddled against his mate's side, he'd thought constantly- constantly- about the first day he'd spent with Doompaw. The glimmer of accomplishment in the calico's eyes when he managed to scale the tree- the boisterous time they'd had. Maybe climbing straightaway wouldn't be the best thing for Pumpkinpaw- but truthfully, how was he to know?
The sun set a bright blanket over the frosty earth; Twitchbolt wandered toward the apprentice's den, attempting to catch Pumpkinpaw's attention. When he did manage to catch Pumpkinpaw's eye, he instinctively murmured "Time to get, get started, Pumpkinpaw," before remembering that his new apprentice couldn't hear him say it. Scrambling for a solution, he began to back out of the den, indicating his apprentice to follow.
The beckoning of a crooked tail in their sightline had apparently been all the encouragement Pumpkinpaw had needed. The moment Twitchbolt had indicated it was time to leave camp, his apprentice had started eagerly traipsing off. Of course, constantly worrying about safety- especially when it came to apprentices- he had streaked after it, olive eyes shot wide. If anything happened- anything, on his first day with a new apprentice- he'd never, ever, ever forgive himself. So forward did he bolt, attempting to try and halt Pumpkinpaw in their eager tracks.
