Three sunrises had passed since Pheasantpaw the young tom had received his name and begun on the journey of his apprenticeship. Barleytuft, who had been assigned as his mentor, didn't want to press him too hard too soon and take him too far from camp with all the fox trouble, but aside from that some commotion in the camp of late had made for some very effective distractions from truly delving into the teachings of the life of a warrior. Since most of the issues had been resolved, and the weather was remarkably clear, Barleytuft intended to me use of it.

It was morning time, the dawn patrol long gone and the morning hunting patrol well on its way, too, as the senior warrior approached the apprentice's den, looking to see if his student had chosen to reside there. Barleytuft had always slept under the stars, himself, save for when he was confined to Aspenheart's den. His deep hazel eyes scanned for the familiar dark torbie pelt, and he meowed, "Pheasantpaw? Pheeeaaaasantpaaaaw, are you in there?" He withdrew his head and scanned the camp's clearing to check if he had perhaps glanced over his apprentice already.

Pheasantpaw had barely slept the past few sunrises, his excitement to begin his training making it hard for him to sit still longer than a few heartbeats. The new apprentice was buzzing whenever someone congratulating him or called him by his new name rather than -kit.
But now, in this brief moment, he was laying down in the apprentice den with his nose tucked into his newly constructed moss bed. It was one of the rare moments that he was sleeping, his paws twitching faintly every moment - he was most likely dreaming of a training session or hunting in the moor. He hadn't heard Barleytuft padding up to the den but the Warrior's calls into the space caused Pheasantpaw's head to immediately snap up despite his eyes heavily blinking as if he were still in a slumber.

"Barleytuft! I am!" The apprentice said with a gasp, springing up and pawing over the moss that he'd been sleeping on, "Just shaping my bed together." He said, blinking his sleep away and running a paw over his muzzle and eyes to clear them of any sleep dirt. He hadn't wanted to fall asleep but the moss had been inviting. And he hadn't wanted to be seen sleeping while there were duties to fulfill, but he was still getting use to the new schedule of an apprentice.

The tom padded away from the bedding and hopped to Barleytuft with a sheepish smile, "I thought you'd be busy with patrols!" he commented, feeling a need to explain the nap.
