"Ngm-" Hawkwillow groaned. He opened one eye and peered at the other warrior. "Don't you have an apprentice to train?" He asked before yawning and almost immediately falling asleep.
`
“That I do. But my paws feel like they’re about to fall off. And I could say the same for you.” he groaned, flicking his tabby-striped tail. “Maybe I’ll just ask Owlheart to take Stormpaw out today as well. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind.” he purred as he remembered the day he had received Stormpaw as his apprentice.
He had taken a glance at Owlheart, the cream-and-brown she-cat, from across the clearing when she had been called forward by Swiftstar and named as Mistpaw’s mentor. The pure excitement and shock in her face made Barkclaw purr fondly at the memory.
Owlheart was truly a wonderful and responsible warrior, Barkclaw was glad to call her one of his fellow clanmates. She definitely deserved an apprentice, and Mistpaw was the perfect apprentice for her.
“I think the challenge of having to keep up with Stormpaw and Mistpaw would be fun.” He remembered the time he had to train both Mistpaw and Stormpaw the morning of the gathering while Owlheart was out of camp. The two littermates trained incredibly well together, but Stormpaw would always try and do something else to make the training more interesting. Barkclaw knew deep-down that his apprentice was just trying to just impress his littermate.
“It gives Owlheart some more mentor training, I'm sure she'd benefit from it. I also have plans with Poppyheart later today, and I would feel terrible if I went and changed them the day of—” Barkclaw was suddenly cut off by Hawkwillow letting out a loud snore. It took Barkclaw by surprise, but it also made much more sense on why his littermate was so quiet, and not teasing him about the plans he had later with Poppyheart.
Barkclaw twitched his ear, looking down at his brother who was curled in his nest.
He couldn't help but notice how much better the other tom had been sleeping after he had spoken to ThunderClan's leader at the last gathering. He didn't know everything that they talked about, he had only walked Hawkwillow over towards Fawnstar, wished his brother good luck, and left them alone to discuss whatever they needed to talk about privately. But whatever happened between the two toms seemed to have calmed his brother's nerves, and seeing his brother not as stressed made him happy.
Featherbreeze on the other paw? His poor sister seemed so miserable trapped in the nursery with their mother, Froststorm. He wished he could help but every time he went to talk with her, the conversation immediately shifted towards Thistlepad. With his sister wondering where her mate could be as he rarely visited her or their beautiful kits, the tom seemed to always be out on patrol. Barkclaw was honestly ready to teach that mouse-hearted tom a lesson.
Despite everything, Barkclaw’s thoughts shifted right back to Poppyheart. He couldn’t wait for sun-high so he could hang out with the dark grey she-cat. The two would be taking a nice stroll on the moor and probably talk. It would be simple and sweet, but the brown-furred tom was excited for it regardless.
