@frog ((Sorry I didn't reply to our last training thread! I lost motivation... Then forgot... And then a month passed... Um. Anyways... New thread?))
Amberflash took a deep breath.
It had been a while since she'd taken Creekpaw on that territory tour. Best to give him some skills so he could properly do his responsibilities. Not that being able to navigate Fireclan correctly wasn't important, he needed some other skills under his belt.
She poked her head into the apprentice's den. "Creekpaw?" She worried slightly. She hadn't seen him for a short while.

Creekpaw flinched as his name was called. He'd gone the past few sunrises without training, so the thought of training today hadn't even crossed his mind. Fearful of being late and angering her, he hopped to his paws and scurried out of the den. He stared at the ground as he walked, dipping his head once he caught sight of her white paws. "H-Hi."

Amberflash wondered what she was doing wrong.
First Acornpaw... Now Creekpaw? Why did they seem so... Submissive? It was as if they thought they'd done something horribly wrong. Sure they hadn't come to her for training... But technically it was her responsibility to train them. She'd legitimately forgotten about it, in light of other events in her life.
She tilted her head slightly, her ears folded down a bit. "Hi, Creekpaw. So uh... We should probably get to training... Yeah?"

Creekpaw nodded once, then padded behind her so he could follow. He was kind of excited to train again, mostly because it was something to do. The days he'd spent in camp were long and slow, especially when there was no one to talk to.
He stared at Amberflash's back paws as he waited for her to leave.

Amberflash turned around and took a few steps forward.
Then she looked over her shoulder. "Hey... Creekpaw? Do you want to grab something to eat before we head off, or...?" She wasn't sure if Creekpaw was hungry or not. She wasn't telepathic, after all.

Creekpaw had almost stumbled into her. He froze in his tracks when she looked back, ears folded back to his skull. He stared at her with wide eyes, quickly shaking his head. 'This must be a trick question! Did I answer correctly? Or maybe I was supposed to say yes..?' He averted his gaze and looked back down at the ground.

Amberflash didn't know how to react to Creekpaw...
Well... Avoiding the question. She flattened her ears. "Uh... Creekpaw?" She asked, nervousness slightly edging her voice. "This isn't a test. I'm actually asking if you need food."

Creekpaw's tail twitched nervously when he was asked again. 'If she's asking again, then I must have given the wrong answer.' "U-Um... Okay. S-Sure."

Amberflash saw the tail twitch and sighed.
"Creekpaw. This is not training. This is a basic function of cats. Are you hungry?" She asked one final time. It was like she was trying to dig a rabbit out of a particularly tight burrow. Slow and difficult.

Creekpaw still couldn't tell if she was tricking him or not. "I... I don't know." He slumped his shoulders and didn't move an inch.

Amberflash sighed.
"How can you not know if you're hungry or not?" She didn't sound angry, but honestly getting a little tired of running in circles. "This is not a weird mentor thing!"

Creekpaw winced at her words. 'What am I supposed to tell her?' They hadn't even left camp and training was already stressful! 'Just don't respond. Just... Don't... Respond...'

((.... Is.... Is this thread just going to be this.))
Amberflash was tempted to let her face collide with the ground.
But that wasn't very.... Mentorly probably. She'd done it with Foxclaw... But he was a warrior at that point. She sighed, as she leaned back onto her rump, sitting where she stood. "Look if you're hungry... Like actually hungry... Get something to eat." She paused then added quickly. "That's not an order! You don't have to if you're not actually hungry...."

He hopped back when Amberflash sat down. "Uh... Umm..." He dragged a paw around in the dirt, trying to decide what to say. "Do-Do you want me t-to eat?" His voice was low and quiet, as he was a little afraid of what the response might be. 'Will she be angry because I answered her question with a question? Oh CloudClan...'

Amberflash's eye twitched.
"It means I want you to do what you want to." She clarified, emphasizing practically every word. Seriously, she did not want Creekpaw starving through the day, because she didn't check if the kid actually had eaten! Well... He did just wake up... But maybe he ate a midnight snack and wasn't hungry right now.
