"The battle with ShadowClan...you did well." It was the first compliment she'd properly given her apprentice since they started training so many moons ago but it was stated with sincerity despite her usually blunt manner of speaking. Mintshade batted at one of the eggs from the nest they'd just dug up, soft and pliable little spheres from serpents rather than the that of a bird. It took a bit of chewing to get to the yolky insides and it was an aquired taste for some but she nudged one over to the blue she-cat with a curled grin across her maw anyways.
"I think you've proven yourself above any other of those ex-kittypet fools or simpering traitor spawn. You should be proud, I am, and its why I decided the skirmish was your assessment." Her dark head dipped in a bow, teeth clamping down onto the side of an oblong egg as she stripped it open in one clean snatch of sharp fangs and a jerking head. Mintshade paused to grab it, tip it back so the contents spilled into her mouth without her having to lap them up herself though she'd probably still lick the inside of the egg clean when she finished talking. Gulping the yolk she smacked her lips in a quiet satisfaction before taking the time to groom a paw and swipe it over her whiskers now dripping golden yellow.
"I'll be letting Sootstar and Badgermoon know you're ready within the moon. Try not to embarrass me before then, yeah?"
Mintshade smiled slyly, ducking down to continue grossly slurping up the inside layer of the egg to get all the sticky fluid there; waste not-want not. Some might say her liking of eggs over rabbit was a little odd for a WindClanner but she'd been born in the marshland of where ShadowCln now called home and they were plenty more common there than here.
