They strode side by side, and looked stupid. And Twitchbolt felt stupid for thinking it, that the two of them might look a little ridiculous. Mentor and his apprentice, and at a glance you'd make the wrong guess... maybe not if you looked close, though. His quivering steps had purpose- were a little ahead of Candorpaw's, though eventually he was sure the blazing tom might be able to guess where they were going.
Tallpine loomed, even in this snow- in fact it was even more stark, frosted. Approaching the base, Twitchbolt turned wide eyes to Candorpaw, then... studied him for a few long moments. If he looked long enough, green eyes turned blue- he could see a squirrel flying at that broad face, accidentally striking his leader in the pits of frustration. The image was gone in a blink, smudged away. He smiled just the same when he looked upon Candorpaw, though; it quivered there on his face, but was genuine, wholly. Crescent of wide-set eyes, just for a moment... pride stammered within them. Yes, he dared to feel it. If there was one thing he did not doubt about his apprentice, it was his loyalty- this would not be one to flee, hardly-before his warrior ceremony.
"In- in the cold, Tallpine will be even harder to climb." A feather-dressed tail flicked expectantly, and Twitchbolt flexed his own paws. "I want you to impress me."
