I wish I could go back in time; not to change anything, but to feel a few things twice.

It had been a while since she last had a training session with Boartusk, and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't missed it. As she steadily drew closer to her warrior ceremony, it seemed that she was joining more and more patrols without the presence of her mentor. It made sense, to some extend, to have her ease off her reliance of Boartusk and learn to work with all her other clanmates, just as she would once she became a warrior, but that didn't mean she didn't miss the comfort of just having the tom there, ready to assist her when she inevitably messed up.

So she would cherish this opportunity. Juniperpaw had gone out of her way-- yes, she had worked up the courage herself, how cool was that?-- to ask Boartusk himself if they could have a training session. She wasn't sure of her battle skills yet, and with her time as an apprentice drawing to a close, she wanted to at least get most of the things she needed to learn done. Oh StarClan, she didn't feel ready, and she certainly did not act that way, but she knew-- from Swiftheart's comments and Sablestrike's increase of sending her on patrols without Boartusk and Hollowgrove's own warrior ceremony-- that it would be soon.

The she-cat took in a deep breath as she trailed after her mentor. Whatever questions she had about the battle moves, she would clear them up today. She had to. Juniperpaw halted when Boartusk came to a stop, peering up at her mentor with attentive eyes. Lets do this.
