Mistpaw yawned as she trotted out of the apprentice den. Her fur was sleek and Lat as usual. Her fur was a little bit fluffy. Mistpaw stretched her front legs before scanning the camp. The young she-cat was hoping to get a mentor one day

"Apprentice!"
Ratfur emerged from a cluster of nearby shrubbery, bits of leaves clinging onto her slim form. She appeared somewhat drowsy, her ears flicking and her fur covered in a thin layer of moisture.
"Ah - I mean - Mistpaw, was it?"
The older female approached the young apprentice, straightening herself up as she eyed Mistpaw.

"I am Ratfur, Mistpaw."
She dipped her head in greeting, her tone altogether polite yet too-the-point.
"I will be assisting you with your training," she explained. "Officially, I've been appointed as your mentor. I do apologize for not attending your ceremony."

Excitement grew in Mistpaw. Mistpaw dipped her head "Nice to meet you Ratfur" she meowed "So when do we start training" Mistpaw asked |

"After we've eaten, of course," Ratfur replied. "We will speak of training when we've filled our bellies some."
The fresh-kill pile was pathetic at this point of time. But, the elders, queens, and kits had likely been fed at this point of time. The warrior was quick to pluck up a scrawny rabbit, placing it a short distance away before settling down.
"We'll share this. Now, tell me about yourself, Mistpaw."

Mistpaw nodded and started to speak "One thing is that I love running I cannot resist an open moor" She meowed "I can't wait to start our training session" she meowed taking a bite of the rabbit |

"Enthusiasm is good. I could have used it when I started my apprenticeship. I struggled, at first. Fighting and hunting did not come naturally to me during my time."
Ratfur enjoyed a few portions of the rabbit, the meat cold, yet the taste remaining as pleasant as usual.
"Finish up. Then we'll go about examining the interior of the territory. It's best the familiarize yourself with your home before you start training to defend it."

Mistpaw nodded and finished up the leftover rabbit "So where are we going first?" |

"The borders, first. The outer-edges of our territory are kept heavily scented. I'll teach you how to mark and differentiate clan scents. Each clan has their own unique scent partially influenced by the land they've settled on and their own diet."
They moved at a steady pace, with Ratfur hurrying along to the borders which were a fair distance away. A numerous amount of odors had collected there.
"This is what separates us from VineClan. Try to remember these landmarks. Like that fallen tree over there."

Mistpaw followed her into the territory. She scented another clan and trees. She nodded when Ratfur told her to remember the land marks. "What's Vineclan like?" |

"Elusive would be an appropriate term. Their territory is composed of tangled greenery. They excel at climbing and have the advantage of knowing how to navigate difficult territory. Personally, I'd prefer not to combat them if it isn't necessary. They'll openly challenge the Warrior Code if they deem it necessary. I do not trust their judgement."
She turned away.
"Come along. It's best not to run into a patrol."

"You're very well-informed, Mistpaw. You're a smart one, aren't you?"
The she-cat glanced over her shoulder.
"Hear their names often around camp?"
