The last thing she wanted to do was put herself in front of Foxtail. Not only because he had given her the worst punishment of her life, even worse than being made into a 'kit or told she couldn't become a warrior for the next six moons, but also because... well there was a tiny part of her that felt kinda bad about almost hitting him. Because even she could admit that she had almost definitely gone a little bit too far. But the other part of her was too angry to care. The part of her that didn't even know how she would navigate this giant grave she had dug for herself and, in many ways, was still digging.

So she picked silence instead. Dragging herself out of the apprentice's den in the morning, saying a hasty goodbye to Owlpaw before she could get choked up on herself again, and stalking across the camp to the place she normally met Foxtail first thing in the morning for training. He's already there, and the sight of him has her tail lashing behind her, a scowl already starting to push on her features that she doesn't attempt to quell. Instead she approaches with her head held high and her eyes blazing. She'll respect Lichenstar's decisions, Moonbeam's kindness towards her, even Hazecloud's sharp reprimand. But Foxtail? She won't give him the satisfaction.

Whatever she still has control over, she'll take. She stands ready, and waiting, as proud and tall as ever.

The last thing Foxtail wanted to do was face his own apprentice. How is he supposed to continue their training after that? He knew Sunpaw wasn't a fan of him from the start, but now he only made it worse! And to think I was only trying to talk with her, The lead warrior thinks with shame, as he forces himself out of the warriors den. He tries to ignore any murmuring voices, as he skips the prey pile, and heads directly to where he meets her in the morning before training. He sits himself down on the ground, but the tom sits nervously. She'll be here any minute.

His olive green eyes land onto his apprentice, and Foxtail holds back a wince as her tail immediately begins to lash around. He... He knew she wouldn't be happy seeing him this morning. But StarClan, everything from the day before still stings. The thought she wished him harm, in combination with her yowling she hates him, causes his heart to weep. I hope you know I don't feel pride in disciplining you, He wishes his thoughts could become words, as he watches her trail over with a blazing gaze, and her tail high in the air. She doesn't have to worry about giving him the satisfaction she thinks he wants.

"Come on," Foxtail barely speaks to her, as he pads over to her, his tail low unlike hers. The lead warrior sounds, and looks, tired. "We're joining Mudfeather's hunting patrol."
