(( @bastille sorry this took so long! ))

It wasn't even dawn when Gingersplash woke up, excited for the day. She had recieved her first apprentice yesterday, and found that she knew who she was training. She had met Basilkit once, when he was a kit, but now she would be training him as Basilpaw, and she wanted to make him the best he could be.

She yawned and sprang from her nest, shaking out her pelt. She quickly washed herself and padded out of the den, quickly eating a piece of prey to sustain her throughout the day. She would advise Basilpaw to do the same.

Gingersplash trotted over to the apprentice den and smiled as she neared. The last time she was here, she was an apprentice, and memories flooded back. When she poked her head in, she quickly searched the space for the creamish tom. Spotted Basilpaw, she padded over and nudged him with her nose. "Its time for traininnf," she said in a low voice, before padding away. She waited at the camp entrance.

[[apologize for first person just felt like it... And so sorry for accidentally requesting you as mentor when you were planning in mentoring Hollykit! We could change if you'd want, since you're mentoring Caelum on goc...]]

It was early in the morning, when I was nudged out of my sleep. Luckily, I've learned how to sleep without dreaming, it gives me more rest and strengthens me. I 've just received my mentor the day before; Gingersplash. I remember her fondly, the first cat I ever played tag with. She is kind and has manners, something I don't really see in my other clan mates a whole lot. Then again, I haven't acquainted myself with many cats. 

Stretching, I make my way to the fresh kill pile. I'm not very hungry, but I know it's smart to eat, I have a long day ahead of me.

Excitement tingles in my paws and rumbles through my chest; I'm an apprentice! At my ceremony it hadn't occurred to me then, but now I can't help but feel pride at my new title. 

After gulping down my mouse, I looked around for Gingersplash. I find her easily, her golden pelt shining in the light of early morning. I walk up to her, greeting her with a purr. "Morning, Gingersplash!" I say cheerfully, my tail lashing in excitement. There's millions of things we can do today, so much to get done. I'm already looking forward to my warrior assessment, though I know that won't be for a while.

(( no its fine gingersplash can train basil ))

Gingersplash stood with a smile when she saw Basilpaw nearing where she was sitting. He greeted with a smile, and she smiled back. "Hello there," she said with a slightest dip of her head, then she whirled around and began to walk from the camp and into the forest. She cast a smile over her shoulder at the apprentice.

After a little bit, she noticed that she hadn't told Basil what they were doing today. "I'm going to show you the territory," she explained as they padded onward. At each stop, she would give Basil trivia questions to see how much he knew, and how much he was learning.

"Okay!" Basil answered happily, a skip in his step. Soon he'd be able to navigate through the territory on his own, something that was very exciting to him. Basil himself was appalled at his cheerfulness, maybe it was just a kit thing being depressed- even though kits should be enjoying the perfect and chore free life.

ginger led the way with a smile until they reached the iceclan border. "this is iceclan. do you know anything about the cats that live here?" she turned to him with a quizical smile.

(( do you want ginger to show basil the inner territory landmarks or nah? ))

[[nah it's cool. also sorry about late replies on everything not having a very good day ]]

"My mom tells me they are very confident." He attempted with the little knowledge he knew. Basil could see a fallen tree out of the corner of his eye, and everything else was just scattered stones and trees as if a kitten unraveled a ball of moss. It was like a stone forest. He couldn't see any Iceclanners, but he felt they could be near. "I also know the leader is Fallenstar!"

gingersplash smiled. "very good!" she commented, before moving on to the next clan border. they passed a few things on the way, and she hoped basil would remember what they were. "the next clan territory is fireclan. what do you know about them?"

"um... i don't really know much about them." basilpaw admitted, scenting the border to familiarize himself with the fireclan scent.

"they are proud warriors, and are known for their ability to run fast. their leader is a cat by the name of Oceanstar," ginger splash explained with a smile. "got that?"

"That's weird, they're named Oceanstar but are leader of FireClan?" Basilpaw smiled, but nodded anyway, ready to continue on to the next border.

"I also thought it was strange," Gingersplash said as she padded away toward Rockclan's territory. As they neared the edge of the lake, she gestured to the island in the middle. "This is Rockclan territory, and that is their camp. They used to live in an extremely rocky terrain, but it got too dangerous, so they had to move. Rumour has it that they are learning to swim. Do you know their leader's name?"

"Cloverstar. I wanna learn how to swim one day." Basilpaw felt bad for the cats, as they have to quickly adjust to a new lifestyle around a new home. He couldn't imagine himself doing that, not yet at least. However, the apprentice planned on becoming a survivor, able to get out of any situation and to live in any situation.

"Very good, and I do, as well. Maybe we could learn together in a creek in Treeclan territory." She smiled, before heading back to the camp. "That's all i have for today, unless you want to do something else."
