What Girls Like

    Gopherpaw padded along behind his mentor, eager to learn what kind of things Scorpionflame could teach him. Hunting, Fighting, or more importantly, flirting. 

      The apprentice sped up until he was right alongside the older tomcat. 
    “So….do you think you could teach me how to charm Galepaw? Or what about Mantisclaw? She seems pretty...pretty.”
    Gopherpaw had no qualms with asking Scorpionfang these questions, even about his mentor’s own sister. Surely telling scorpionflame that he thought his sister was attractive was a compliment, right? Even if said sister was over twice his own age, and probably courting someone else. After all, by this point in his life, Gopherpaw’s father already had a steady mate. So gopherpaw needed to catch up. But maybe going for a warrior was a bit out of his league.
    “How about Finchkit? What do you think? Could she go for a guy like me?”

Scorpionflame was intrigued at the thought of beingn a mentor, even so with Gopherpaw talking his ear off. He thought nothing of it and shrugged his endless comments off until he mentioned his sister, which earned his apprentice a scowl. “Try courting my sister, I dare you. She eats apprentices like you for breakfast, little one. And besides, you’re too young for a mate anyways. Just make friends for the time being, don’t waste your time with that when you still look like a kit,” he said, cuffing Gopherpaw over the ear.

He knew that his sister had her own life, but he would never let his apprentice date her, especially since he was no matchmaker. Mantisclaw could choose her mate when the time came and she wanted one, and until then, all the males- and females- in the Clan would have to deal with that. Scorpionflame knew he had a charming reputation of being the ladies’ favorite male, but he would be a good mentor to Gopherpaw and teach him warrior things, like hunting and fighting. Things that he was actually supposed to learn. Evidently, though, Gopherpaw had other ideas.

    Gopherpaw stared up at his mentor, a crooked grin plastered across his face. Surely a suave tom like Scorpionflame woud have great advice on how to win the ladies. And he should know Mantisclaw’s likes better than any, so he should be able to tell Gopherpaw just how to charm her.
    “Try courting my sister, I dare you. She eats apprentices like you for breakfast, little one. And besides, you’re too young for a mate anyways. Just make friends for the time being, don’t waste your time with that when you still look like a kit,”
    Or perhaps he could not. The apprentice stared back at his mentor, a puzzled expression on his face.
    “But my parents got together before they were even ‘paws!” he argued. Clearly, Gopherpaw did not get the point of the ear cuffing. 
    "Fine, I won't go after Mantisclaw, but what about someone like Galepaw or Finchkit? They are young too!"
