It was time, she'd finally been appointed a mentor and was quite pleased with herself. So pleased was she that she'd awoken early, wide awake in her nest. The sun was still gingerly conquering the horizon and she blinked sleep from her amber eyes. The chill of morning air was easy to ignore, she wanted to train, now if possible. With a big stretch she'd arch her back, padding carefully out of the apprentice's den so as not to disturb her fellow apprentices. If she was honest, the older ones frightened her a bit, they were so big. It was going to be so hard to catch up with no experience as of yet.
Making her way across camp to the warrior's den. Once she'd reached it, she'd poke her head inside, feeling a bit self-conscious all of a sudden. This didn't really feel right and so she pulled back, making way for the fresh-kill pile and grabbing a small-ish pike.
With the fish gripped in her maw, she'd head back to her mentor's den. Carefully she'd set it on her paws to keep it off the dirt,
"Stoatsplash?" She'd hiss quietly, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness within the den. Oh how she hoped they wouldn't be upset with her if they were asleep.
"I brought you a snack." She'd offer again, unable to make out her mentor among the snoozing warriors.
