private testing the atmosphere ☆ beetlepaw

[SPIDERPAW]

the sun is beginning to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of marigold and lilac as spiderpaw padded back to camp after a day filled with rigorous training as seen by the dirt and stray leaf-litter that decorated his pelt. his performance today was subpar at best, no matter how much effort he put into trying to perfect a particular move it always fell short or it wasn't not good enough which left him feeling a bit hollow. the apprentice sucked in a quiet breath, paws following the the sloping path of the gorse tunnel before finally stepping into the clearing where clanmates are seen winding down for the evening, spending the last hours of daylight chatting amongst eachother.

spiderpaw departs from his mentor's side and approaches the fresh-kill pile where he nosed through it for a bit before picking out a plump squirrel to fill his empty belly and while scanning for a spot to settle down in a familiar smokey pelt catches his eye. large ears perk upwards a bit, spiderpaw has been meaning to talk with beetlepaw and it seemed like now was his chance to do so. lanky limbs would carry the apprentice across the clearing until they stood infront of the other, paws returning to their habit of shuffling as they set down the squirrel. "uh-uhm hey be—beetlepaw, do you wanna sh-share this with me?"

[beetlepaw]

Beetlepaw's father was rigorous in his training- Burnstorm was trying to ensure that Beetlepaw had very tool necessary to become a strong warrior, but he already had them. A long groan left him as he finally settled down, his body aching and eyes half lidded already in the last hours of daylight. Just a few moments and he'd move to the apprentice den. A few moments, and he'd pick himself up and tuck himself in the nest for silence before he rested.

Approaching pawsteps had his head turning and eyes slowly opening- then towards Spiderpaw. Green eyes blinked, near owlishly, at Spiderpaw as he began to shuffle nervously. Eyes followed the line of the squirrel the other set on the ground, and Beetlepaw blinked in confusion until explanation followed. "Oh." Beetlepaw's head tilted backwards, looking up at the other before shrugging a hint.

"Sure." Beetlepaw responded languidly, stretching his legs out. He hadn't eaten yet, so tired in his training-caused exhaustion that all he could have thought about was sleep in his near-perfect nest. (There was still something missing. He couldn't tell what.) "Training going okay?" He asked as he reached forward, dragging the squirrel close and biting into it, tearing a hunk of meat free before passing it towards the younger.

[SPIDERPAW]

a sense of relief spread through the skittsh apprentice's chest when beetlepaw accepted their offer of sharing prey and settled down in the space besides the smoke, expression shifting slightly into a wince when asked about their training. "it's g–goin' well . . !" spiderpaw replies, wearing a less than confident smile in hopes to seem believable but anyone with a pair of eyes could see passed this fragile facade. it isn't long until they visibly deflate, bringing their focus to the squirrel instead that is pushed infront of them before taking a much smaller bite from the carcass.

"ok–okay not really, i've been ha–havin trouble keeping up. feels like my pa–paws won't do what i want them to. . .and i–i'm worried if i don't st–start showing progress. . ." words are spoken in a hushed tone, trailing off as brows furrow with worry but they shake their head and look apologetically back at beetlepaw. "so–sorry you probably d–don't wanna hear about that. . ." an awkward silence falls over the two apprentices as spiderpaw pushes the prey back over. "but what ab–about you? is it uhm tough to h–have a lead warrior as a me–mentor?" he asks after a few heartbeats, he couldn't imagine being assigned to one of the council members it sounded like too much pressure.

[beetlepaw]

Beetlepaw chews, but doesn't really look at Spiderpaw as he eats. Something about looking at another cat directly while he ate normally ruined the meal. Green eyes were half lidded but ears were turned towards the other, intent on hearing what the other said. A level of care he normally didn't put into his friendships was shown in that movement, but it was so miniscule it could be overlooked. His head lifted and looked towards the other after he swallows, but what he said about not keeping up does strike interest with Beetlepaw.

He knows he hasn't caught a piece of prey either- but that's something his father and Coalpaw needed to know, not the other way around. A frown crosses his face briefly, and he doesn't say anything before taking the prey back. "Don't uh... don't need t' apologize. It's fine. I asked." Beetlepaw clarifies, taking a bite out of the carcass and chewing thoughtfully again. He speaks after he swallows, passing the prey back in the same fluid movement.

"He's a pain in the ass." Beetlepaw declares, his paws crossing over one another and tail lashing with irritation. His eyes dart about, then back towards Spiderpaw, hoping that no one took to back to Burnstorm. "Being both my father and my mentor makes it harder. More.. weight on my shoulders." He confesses. He looks away briefly, then, ".. I haven't caught any prey yet, either. I am behind." That is a bitter sting, one that makes him frown after he admits to it.

[SPIDERPAW]

oversized ears far too big for the mantle they sat upon lift towards the sky in a show of surprise at beetlepaw's choice of wording when describing his own father but the explaination that followed made golden eyes soften with sympathy and understanding, burnstorm is kind of intimidating and a very no nonsense warrior so spiderpaw can only assume his training is more demanding.

another bite is taken out of the squirrel, tail sweeping closer to their loafed frame as their companion reveals to them what feels like a little secret no one has heard yet. there's a an odd comfort that spiderpaw feels in his chest knowing that beetlepaw also hasn't caught anything, perhaps it's because it makes them feel a little less alone. "oh, i–i haven't caught any–anything either. . ." they say, passing the squirrel back over before continuing. "but you're a bri–brilliant cat beetlepaw so i'm su–sure that you'll ca–catch something soon." their words are spoken with sincerity, hoping to comfort the tom even if it's only a little bit.
