† Stuck up. Head high above the clouds. Why was Forestpaw allowed to? And she's only further emboldened by her mentor, the deputy. She only shows interest when its convenient for her. She wasn't conniving, surely? Didn't have the mind to. Was she really dumb enough to think that? To act like that? Brought in young, had no one ever told her to watch herself? Doesn't she deserve a delayed apprenticeship? Trying didn't matter as long as you just did.
And it made sense. It's leaf-bare, frigid, hopeless, cold. You'll turn more heads bringing home a fat rabbit than you would saying you tried to bring one home. What's the point?
Poppypaw didn't even get the chance to say one or the other. Dismissed, turned away; because she was Poppypaw and she had nothing. Chilledgaze was quick to judge, weren't there? Biased, even though their apprentice barely cared for them. Sharppaw falls into slow trotting as at last, he catches up. A silvery gaze dances between the apprentice and the forest. Unsure where to look, if she could. Poppypaw had no reason to hate her. She'd caught as little as he had. Well...maybe. Sharppaw swallows a lump in his throat. "Thuh-that...." She looks away to clear her throat. Whiskers twitching, embarassed. "That wasn't... fair." Her tail feels heavy behind her.
