it'd been a long day; ivypaw had tagged along on the dawn patrol with snowpaw and silvertide, spent time hunting, and then longshadow had taken her, wolfpaw, and orchidpaw out for some battle training. it'd been a few days since she'd ran into wolfpaw, and ivypaw wanted him to know that she was serious about helping him. it'd been no secret that he was struggling with the recent technique that they'd been working on. his stance was wrong, his paws moved too slowly, and the way he moved was crooked - and so, ivypaw was lying awake in her nest with orchidpaw lazing about not even a mouselength away, sound asleep.

moonlight filtered in through the minuscule holes in the roof of the apprentice den. whenever the apprentices got asked if there were holes, the majority of them lied just to get out of patching them. ivypaw herself was even guilty of that. she rolled over in her nest, her eyes searching for the tom's gray and black form in his own nest across the den, and she slunk off in his direction. with a single paw, she prodded him continously for a few heartbeats. "wolfpaw, wake up, we're going training." she hissed softly in his ear. when he didn't seem to rouse, she grew cross. "wake up, sleeping beauty; you're not getting any prettier!"

ooc: open later maybe, private right now

[Wolfie ☆]

The gray and black tom was curled nicely in his nest. His medium fluffy tail was curled to his nose. His ear were prickled even in his sleep. Being a light sleeper he heard the soft movement and smelt Ivypaw before she prodded him. He'd almost been asleep. As she spoke he ignored her words, but her next comment made his whiskers twitch. He opened his good eye and glared. "You are probably one of the rudest cats next to me,"he muttered as he closed his eyes.

"I will get out of this nest once you become and males, who spends his time with Dreamstar," he mumbled. "As in when you become my mentor I will do as you say, with complaints of course."

[lily]

"Thanks, I try." She said, a grin gracing her features in spite of herself. Ivypaw's tail flicked his nose as she waited for him to get up. She was an impatient cat, and he was going to find out just how impatient she was. "Wolfpaw, c'mon. You need to work on that battle move we were learning today." She whispered, her voice become softer as she tried to be kind.

As he mouthed back at her, she snorted. "Sorry, but I don't think I'll become a tom anytime soon. Nor will I start to worship her royal highness, Dreamstar." The gray she-cat muttered, rolling her eyes skyward. "Not that there's anything wrong with Dreamstar." She added quickly, not wanting to insult her mentor just because Wolfpaw was being difficult. "Oh, I never imagined you'd go without complaining." Ivypaw teased, purring as she tried to roll him out of bed by headbutting him. "Come on, Wolfpaw. This is for your own good."

[Wolfie ☆]

Wolfpaw grunted as she seemed proud of his statement about her. He sneezed as her tail tickled his nose and raised his head. "Why do you even want to help me?" Wolfpaw mewed. 


 "Glad you know me so well," he said dryly. He snorted about her comment of Dreamstar and Longshadow. He let out a sigh. "There is no way you are going to let me curl up in my nest and rest? I've got dawn patrol in the morning with Longshadow." He knew she would keep prodding him and in all honesty he wanted to do something right for once, so he pushed himself to his paws. "When Longshadow complains I will blame you." He grumbled.

[lily]

His nonverbal responses were amusing, and everytime he made one, Ivypaw found herself smirking, even if he couldn't exactly see it in the darkness of the den. She rolled her eyes at him and shook her head. "What does it matter?" She mewed back softly, almost ready to either drag him out of the den by his scruff or just give up entirely.

She scowled at him. "Sorry I cared to watch?" She replied bitingly. Hadn't he wanted her to help a little, just the other day? Or had she forgotten what he'd said already? Ivypaw sighed just as he did. "Nope. I'm dead set on this." She announced quietly, sticking her nose up in the air. "I went on the dawn patrol this morning and I haven't slept yet! So if you think you're going to be tired, just imagine how I feel right now!" She half-snapped at him, relieved she was finally making some headway. A grin spread across her face as he finally gave in. "Do it, I'm not afraid of him." The gray she-cat replied swiftly, filled with a new, strange energy as she stalked quietly to the entrance of the den and stuck her head out and looked around before exiting completely. "We'll have to sneak out through the dirt place." Her eyes watched the entrance of camp, praying silently to whatever higher power there was that the guards weren't going to look their way.

[Wolfie ☆]

Wolfpaw grumbled as he stood up and shook out the remaining moss from his pelt. His eyes glared at Ivypaw before rolling his eyes. "Well lets go then," he grumbled. Then, he chuckled at her response on Longshadow. "Me either. He loathes me anyway as I him.  He is just a stupid furball!" He growled. 


Then, he looked at her with a look that said seriously,  "Really, the dirt place?" He shook his head and sighed, before pushing himself out the den and sling towards the dirt place. it was a good thing he was a dark colored tom cat and could blend in well with the shadows.

[lily]

Ivypaw snorted when Wolfpaw mentioned Longshadow loathing him. "Can't imagine why." She commented quietly, rolling her eyes before agreeing with the gray tom. "Yes, he is. We all are." She agreed quietly, throwing both of them in the same category, though.

When he showed disapproval of her idea she shot him an icy stare. "Do you have a better idea? No? Didn't think so." The gray spitfire snapped, darting off toward the dirt place, looking like a small rat indeed. As they approached the small exit to camp, Ivypaw wondered if this was such a good idea. But then, before any doubt could fill her mind, she was out in territory, the night sounds of the fen attacking her eardrums. "Spooky." She commented as Wolfpaw joined her, and she gestured with her head to follow her to the right. They were heading for the same meadow they'd trained in earlier that day. Once they arrived, Ivypaw would hopefully be able to get to work in helping him.

[Wolfie ☆]

Wolfpaw flickered his ears, "He is more so then us, I think!" The grey and black tabby grumbled at the thought of his mentor as he followed Ivypaw out and through the dirt place. He stooped and looked at the territory in the dark. Seemed a lot different then in the light. He scoffed at Ivypaw. "Not scared are?" He playfully taunted her. "Cause you got me out of my nest and we are gonna practice.!" He mewed growing more determined then he was before.


He marched over to the meadow they held their training in earlier that day. Then, he shifted his good to Ivypaw, "So what was I doing wrong. I know I am still putting almost all my weight on my blond side, I got that scolded into me enough, but what else," Wolfpaw asked.

[ivypaw **]

In the strange half-light of the fen, Ivypaw definitely felt on edge. The light the moon cast down upon them made her pelt look like silver, and Wolfpaw's was much the same. "The moonlight...it looks weird." She whispered in slight awe, admiring the pretty pale glow of her fur. A noise came from behind her in a pool at least a few over, and the small she-cat jumped, bounding forward and drawing closer to Wolfpaw, though with a whisker-length or two still between them. "Okay, maybe I am scared." She admitted sheepishly, shuddering. "It's just, I haven't been out much in the dark, okay" The girl tossed in a sideways glare as if to say 'don't even think of mocking me,' though it's what she expected from him.

"Oh, look who gets all determined when I chicken out!" Ivypaw snorted, shaking her head at him and running ahead into the meadow. She turned an analytic eye on him as he asked what he was doing wrong. "Well, yes," she admitted, when he mentioned he was putting his weight on one side. "But it's more than that. Go into the stance Longshadow showed us." Ivypaw ordered, though it wasn't very pointedly.

ooc: sorry it took so long! :*

[Wolfpaw ☆]

Wolfpaw shrugged, "I think it's relaxing and calming." he then looked over at her as she said she was a tad afraid and when she stepped closer he kinda smiled as he nudged her gently. Then, went back to his rude old self, "Well one of us has to be brave, so I guess I will." He grumbled. He could not for the life of him stay friendly for a moment, but it seemed like their attitudes is what made the two kinda sorta not really, but really get along.


Wolfpaw followed after her into the clearing. He nodded his head. From what he understood they were working on rolling away from an attack. He crouched down, putting most of his weight on the blind side. His eyes focused on Ivypaw. "I still feel like this is off, by only a lot," he said dryly.
