he didn't want to be here. didn't want to have another mentor. he wanted stormshadow back. he didn't care to learn from anyone else, especially not from egretfeather. mr. tall, white, and formal. he was tempted to cut class but decided it was best just to arrive, even if it was a little bit late. [break][break]

stepping into the training hallow, hornetpaw glanced around and then walked over to where he found his new mentor waiting. the tom was a stickler alright. had probably arrived right on the dot, or more likely, early. hornetpaw nearly rolled his eyes but smiled at egretfeather instead.[break][break]

"sorry to keep you waiting, egretfeather, was watching the beautiful sunrise. it was just so breathtaking, did you see it?" his voice was smooth as silk, but obviously mocking of the white warrior. respect was earned and there was no respect yet between the two of them. his mentor hadn't earned the opportunity to hear his heart. therefore what harm was there in testing him?[break][break]

as he waited for a response hornetpaw sat in front of egretfeather with his tail wrapped around his paws. his sly grin dancing on his lips. "what's in store for today? i'm eager to get started."

[➳ egretfeather]

( "This is him talking."
This is him thinking.
"This is someone else talking." )


truly, egretfeather did not want to be here. he would much rather be doing something worth his while — possibly hunting, or having the thrill of roughing it up with enemy clans at the border. but here he was, entrusted with the future of today’s youth — in particular, an apprentice named hornetpaw recently bestowed upon him by miss ivy. he didn’t necessarily mind.. he knew he was eventually going to be gifted with an apprentice at some point in his warriorhood, he just thought he was going to have a little more time until it actually happened. oh well, you can’t really argue with responsibility given from up top.

egret had gotten up early for the job, as much as he hated it, and made sure to be on time for his little appointment with hornetpaw. he was curious as to how this session would turn out, but at the same time, he really just wanted to be somewhere else. egretfeather wasn’t really in the mood to teach a young cat new tricks — it took too much trial and error, and he wanted to get through the process as fast as possible. sunbathing as he waited, he got lost in his thoughts, hoping his new apprentice caught on fast just as he did back then.

but boy, was it already off to a bad start. egretfeather had spent his sweet time by courteously arriving on time, even early for that matter, and hornetpaw was still nowhere to be seen. as time ticked, egret’s giant paw impatiently tapped the dry dirt, that being the only sound in the thicket — save the songbirds in the background. though, soon enough, the sound of small pawsteps made their entrance known by the quiet crunching of leaves. egretfeather slowly turned around upon hearing the noise, his squinted green eyes resting on a striped, fiery orange figure. “you’re late.” the stiff cat spoke lowly, tail flicking in annoyance. he honestly should’ve cut the young one some slack, but it was the tom’s first day in training.. who arrives late to that?

“sorry to keep you waiting, egretfeather, was watching the beautiful sunrise. it was just so breathtaking, did you see it?” as hornetpaw spoke, the first thing the tom had detected in the apprentice’s voice was the slight sound of mockery. but, maybe hornetpaw had actually meant it as a nice gesture, a little way to start up conversation.. so instead of replying in his usual harsh manner, egretfeather furrowed his brows and huffed in reply, standing on all fours and making his way to the clearing. he eyed the young tom carefully.

if there was one thing that this little stinker was going to learn from training, it was going to be respect. and to settle the score, egret decided to give him a little pre-assessment.. you know, just to find out what skills hornet had — if any at all.

without any warning, egretfeather snarled and launched himself at the young tom cat, outstretching his paws (claws sheathed, of course). this was nothing more than a mere test, a small pop quiz. after all, egretfeather just wanted to know what he was dealing with. as he came within a whisker’s distance of hornetpaw, he allowed himself to smirk.

let’s see what you’ve got, kid.

he was hurt, sad, angry. the death of stormshadow had really damaged something in his soul. how could egretfeather fill that hole? could he even attempt to do so? hornetpaw would not let it happen so easily. his heart broke when he'd seen the body. and now he would have to prove himself to another mentor. he would have to prove just how much he'd grown and that put a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. he wasn't stupid. he wasn't a coward, he wasn't weak.[break][break]

and then, when he wasn't given a response to his mocking behavior, hornetpaw became angry. he snorted bitterly and was about to give a snark remark when egretfeather stood and attacked him out of nowhere. both shock and fury kept him rooted to his spot and the only force that caused him to jump backward at the last second was sheer will power. [break][break]

hornetpaw snarled at his mentor and launched himself with the intention to knock egretfeather over. and even though his claws were sheathed, hornetpaw did not take this fight lightly. it wasn't a game. it was a real struggle for power and respect. and he wasn't going to lose.

[➳ egretfeather]

( "This is him talking."
This is him thinking.
"This is someone else talking." )


egretfeather had originally intended for the tom to have a little warm-up, or more so, a wake up call to start off the morning right. something to get the senses going, and to see what hornetpaw was made of. though, what he wasn’t expecting was the fiery young tom to launch himself at him with such force. egret was slightly taken by surprise, to be honest. if he had not moved in the last minute, hornetpaw would’ve fully knocked him over — though, the white tom was able to move and only trip over his paws.

man, this kid was ready...

egretfeather whipped around, dull eyes set on the apprentice.

finally. not some wuss who doesn’t know how to handle himself.. egret thought with an inward chuckle after nearly missing the apprentice’s attack. his reflexes are good... so far. the snow-white brute then swiped his huge paws at hornetpaw’s legs, aiming to knock over the apprentice and pin him down to bring this to an end. or at least, that’s what he was hoping for. but something told him that this fight was going to last a bit longer than he hoped for.

as the two cats went back and forth, egretfeather couldn’t help but think that this apprentice had taken the fight a little more personal then he intended it to be. he was coming at the gruff tom with such force... which the tom greatly appreciated, but there was some hidden emotion behind it all that egret just couldn’t decipher. his brows deeply furrowed, trying to put his tongue on it...

hmm...
