wish upon a pine [closed training]

Smokewish yawned and stretched in the warrior den, trying hard not to wake her fellow warriors. She squeezed past them and slipped out into the cold air. A new dawn was approaching, the tip of the bright orange sun just poking above the horizon. Snow lay upon the ground, but it was definitely thinner than yesterday. Leafbare was on its way out! Still too early to judge if the river would be frozen, though. Smokewish shook the sleep from her limbs and padded softly to the apprentice den. She located her own apprentice, Pinepaw. She was still finding it hard to believe she was actually a mentor! She poked Pinepaw gently with her paw. "Pinepaw. Training." She whispered, before backing out of the den and sitting by the entrance, her tail curled neatly over her front paws. The grey warrior watched small snowflakes as they drifted towards the ground. Yes, there was definitely more snow yesterday. Hopefully the river wouldn't be too cold.

Pinepaw groaned as he woke, his mind taking a second to register the cats and environment around him. This was the Apprentices Den. He was an apprentice, and the two words he'd heard were from his new mentor. Oh, come on. A yawn forced his jaws apart, and he shook the moss off of his pelt, giving it a few cursory licks. As tempting as it was to just sneak in a minute of extra sleep, he didn't want to miss out on his first training session either.

He stepped out to find Smokewish waiting, apparently occupying herself by watching the snow. "Hello?" He said, "I'm, uh, here now. What are we doing today?" Personally, he hoped it was something cool, like learning wicked fighting techniques or fighting off a badger. Okay, maybe the latter thing was a bit too ambitious, but he was allowed to fantasize, wasn't he?

Smokewish looked to the tom. ”Good morning.” She purred, her whiskers twitching slightly in amusement as she studied him. He was obviously enjoying his sleep. ”Well, I think I’ll let you decide. We can go learn about the borders and the other Clans, we can hunt, we can do some battle training, or if the weather permits it, do some swimming. Of course, if the river has frozen into ice, that won’t be an option.” Smokewish flicked her tail as she got to her paws. ”You can tell me your decision once we leave camp.” She explained as she walked with brisk steps.
