Dew-stained grass beneath his paws, sweet birds singing above his head, and dainty blooming flowers all around him. Oh, how Applepaw loved NewLeaf. To make things even better, he was about to experience his first ever real training session as an apprentice. This was shaping up to be one of his most favourite days of all time. Since he hadn't been out of camp many times yet, and was still unsure of how to get places, the ginger tom was waiting patiently at the camp entrance for his mentor to catch up, and show him where to go.

So far he had enjoyed Truffletoes' company. That being said, they hadn't really done much together. Only a brief tour of the territory after his apprentice ceremony, and a little introduction to the wonderful world of being an apprentice. His mentor seemed very kindhearted, and a great teacher. Hopefully they would get along well. Maybe they would even become friends! Glancing over at the warriors den, he waited patiently. Not that he wasn't excited, but he had been waiting his entire life of six moons for this very day. A minute longer made no difference to him. Besides, it meant more time for him to daydream about what they would do together. Frolic in the flowers? Run through the forest? Laugh over a funny looking squirrel? The possibilities were simply endless.

Truffletoes flitted from the warriors' den to the nursery, checking on his new, wonderful younger siblings and ducking out when his mother tried to smooth out the stubbornly messy fur on his forehead, back out to brush tails with Ripplefoot as she left with a small hunting patrol. The young tom found himself paused, light and happy but certain he was missing something. His eyes trailed over the camp as he spun in a slow circle until his vision landed on the gentle warm-toned fur of his apprentice, waiting for him by the camp's entrance. "Oh, of course- silly me," he muttered aloud, chiding himself as he hurried over.

"Morning to you, Applepaw! Sorry if I've made you wait," he dipped his head politely, nosing Applepaw's ear-tip in a friendly way. "We've seen the forest a bit, and talked about the basics of fighting and hunting, but I think learning by doing is just as important." Tilting his head slightly, he mused on which they should do- it might take a bit to assemble some of the other mentors and apprentices, and Applepaw seemed ready to go right away. Hunting training it is, then, he nodded to himself decisively. "With all the flowers out this season, I'd think there should be lots of mice in the grass- near the MothClan border markers, remember?" he prompted his apprentice, flicking his tail to guide them out of the IvyClan camp.

Just as he was starting to become impatient —he was running out of scenarios to daydream about— Truffletoes emerged from the warriors den and his kind eyes rested upon Applepaw. Finally, it was time for his first real training session! Hopping to his feet, he stepped forwards to greet his mentor, smiling sweetly. As the warrior began to talk about what they would be doing, the ginger tom watched attentively with his bright green eyes. What were they going to do? Fighting? Hunting? Something else equally as interesting and exciting?

"...I'd think there should be lots of mice in the grass- near the MothClan border markers, remember?" Mice? That meant they were going hunting. He could barely contain his excitement, but he tried his hardest to swallow it as he cast his mind back to their very first outing together. Fairly confident he knew where his mentor was talking about, he nodded. "I think I can remember." Truffletoes flicked his tail in response, signalling for Applepaw to follow, as he exited the camp. Running to catch up, he walked beside the warrior, standing as tall as possible in order to look impressive on his very first hunting trip. "Are mice hard to catch?" Surely not. They were so small, how fast could they go?
