private SOME WILL FALL ─‎ ⋆ HONEYPAW

[nightbird]

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ nightbird was unsteady following the meeting. twilightpaw had somehow achieved her wish of joining nightbird's side. there was no worry written across the tabby's face despite her own doubts, doubts the child knew of. maybe her daughter and flamestar saw something she failed to, the latter especially. for nearly six moons her muscles had laid to waste, now two young sets of paws shadowed her own.

the lead warrior had done it before, lightstrike and duskbird both shared a term under her wing. it did not earn them anything but an early grave, she thinks bitterly. but to go to flamestar's den and plead for reconsideration would be a firm admission of her failures. nightbird had no choice but to plant her claws into the frozen dirt and bear this.

honeypaw would come first- a moon of training already to their name, she'd need to know what darktuft had taught the child before passing. nightbird collects the apprentice who she knew well enough, it hadn't been long since they shared a den. but much had happened to them since, she doubted she'd meet the same cat here. as she led them deeper into the territory, the warrior's head turned in question. "what have you learned from darktuft?"

[Honeypaw]

〔✦〕Today, there is no Twilightpaw by their side as they walk after Nightbird. It reminds them of their first time out of camp with Darktuft, and it might as well be the same. Honeypaw only had a moon of training, and not much by any means. Snow crunches beneath their heavy pawsteps, alabaster flakes clinging to their fur. "We. . . did mostly hunting lessons. And I'm not good at that." The several failures to even scent anything came to mind, their pelt burning in embarrassment. Time and time again they'd falied to provide food for the Clan, especially during the blizzard that's swept through the territory.

"Basics of stalking and fighting. No climbing." They add quickly, green eyes meeting Nightbird's silver ones. What would she say about such poor progress in a moon's time?

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ nightbird hums in acknowledgement, calming the annoyed twitch of her ears before it reaches them. a moon hunting lessons, and she had never seen honeypaw return to camp with a mouth full of prey. calling a dead warrior's teaching skills into question was, perhaps, in poor taste, so the lead warrior just bit her tongue and nodded.

"we'll need to move quickly so you're up to speed. practice on your own when you have free time, i don't intend on busying your paws with ticks or moss unless necessary." she hated those chores just as much as the ones doing them. they had meaning, yes, but there were far more important things an apprentice had to focus on. if anyone disagreed, they had yet to call her on it.

nightbird sits, eyes narrowing slightly in thought. "what do you struggle with, exactly?" it was a quicker way to start than watching honeypaw fail hunt after hunt. "as long as its not the killing bite, i'm sure you'll be culling mice in no time." she had patience to deal with a pacifistic fool of an apprentice, not with a nursery full and bordering clans breathing down their necks. on the bright side, she figured honeypaw's issues were a lack of refinement rather than will. that was something easily enough fixed.
