( Darkpaw, sorry this is so short) Snowwhisper had taken care of all the herbs and stuff the day before, and was prepared and sitting by the entrance of camp well before sunhigh, and she wasnt focused on anything as she waited for either sunhigh or her apprentice. When she did spot her apprentice, she allowed a small smile. "You ready to go?" she asked. |

Darkpaw nodded as he padded up to his mentors side, feeling relaxed, well rested and ready to train. He vowed to do his best for his mentor, and to become a great warrior of Iceclan.
"Yes, Snowwhisper. I'm ready." He meowed, pale lilac eyes fierce, his tail lashing in anticipation. He couldn't wait to begin.

Snowwhisper gave a small nod. "Good. Today we're going to tour the territory, and then depending on the time I might teach you the basics of hunting." she said, "Let me know if you can't keep up. There's a lot of territory to cover so I may walk a bit fast." she added before going into the territory, heading towards the Treeclan border first, planning to stop at the Bluebell Corpse before getting there. "What do you know about the other clans already?"

Darkpaw nodded. Okay, the territory. Sounds good. And then maybe hunting. He grinned, and when his mentor said about needing to keeping up, he shrugged, still smiling.
"Don't worry, I'll keep up." He meowed as he trotted after Snowwhisper.
"Yeah, I know a little about the other clans. Not too much, just what the queens gossiped about and what the other kits passed on stories and stuff. It probably was more lies than the real information." He meowed, padded at his mentors side.
(sorry for late reply)

Snowwhisper nodded, "We'll sort out the lies from the truth today." she responded, remaining silent the short time it took to cover the rest of the land to the Bluebell Copse. "This is one of our major landmarks. We call it the Bluebell Copse. It's only covered in flowers throughout the warmer months, so it won't look like this in the middle of winter." she said, pausing to allow Darkpaw to take in the copse. "Right across it is the Treeclan border."

Darkpaw surveyed the landmark in front of him as Snowwhisper named it the Bluebell copse, drawing in scents. It was very pretty, covered in wild flowers, and he grimaced at the thought of it having no flowers, of it being bare.
When Snowwhisper said that across is the Treeclan Border, his head shot up and his eyes narrowed in hostility before he swiftly forced it back down. "Treeclan are the tree climbers, right?" He asked, screwing his nose up. Who wants to climb trees? They're cats, not squirrels.

Snowwhisper nodded. "Yeah, they climb trees," she said as she began across the field of bluebells, "They also hunt squirrels. But, every clan had something odd. there are enough odd things different clans do that I had a very long conversation about it once. I don't think that cat likes me though," she shrugged. "Tree clanners have those thhings, we fish and live in the cold, Rockclan... well, I'm not sure since they have a new territory, and Fireclan hunts rabbits. So yeah. We all have our thing other clans think weird." she shrugged, grinning as they reached the foresty border. "This is the Treeclan border, and pretty much the only place in the clan territory where we have trees. Now, what all can you tell me about Treeclan?"

Darkpaw twitched his ears every now and then as Snowwhisper spoke, to show he was listening intently to her words, as his eyes stayed locked on the Treeclan border.
His eyes flicked to his mentor as he heard the grin in her words, and this made a small one of his own tug at the corners of his mouth. When she said it was basically the only place that trees grew in Iceclan, Darkpaw let out a laugh.
"What I have heard is that Treeclan cats are like squirrels in the fact that they are always in the trees." Darkpaw offered before deciding to add on what he could see, smell and logic.
"Treeclan has lots of tree's packed in close not leaving much floor space, so I see how trees are the way they hunt. Makes sense. It smells strongly of tree bark and leaves, and the sound of the leaves rustling masks most noises that the Treeclanners may make while in their territory. I hear squirrels and birds in the treetops, though, not much underneath." Darkpaw had zoned out a little, his senses reaching out to find out as much as the other clan as he could.
"Is there anything I should know about them in the case of meeting one or having a battle or something?" He asked, shaking his body out as he turned to look at Snowwhisper.

Snowwhisper nodded at what Darkpaw observed. "That's all very good, but you should also know that in battle, they will attack from the trees. This gives them the element of surprise, as well as high grounds to start the battle. There are also many sticks and leaves on the ground, a lot more than here, so if you plan to sneak up on one, you have to be careful not to step on those. Their current leader is Arrowstar and their deputy is Crystalbird." she said, "That should be all you need to know."

Darkpaw nodded as he listened quietly to the information Snowwhisper gave him, and making a mental note of the leader and deputy of Treeclan as his mentor named them. He also made sure to memorize the scent of the other clan, even if it smelt gross to him and caused him to wrinkle up his nose.
"Alright, I think I now know a great deal of Treeclan, enough for now. What shall we be moving onto next?" Darkpaw asked, his curious eyes on Snowwhisper.

"Fireclan," she responded, heading towards the Fireclan border. "Oh yeah, and the Treeclan border is called the Stone Forest." she added as she walked, "The Fireclan border is called the Waterfall."

Darkpaw took a mental note of the border name 'Stone forest'. "Okay, got it." He meowed, almost to himself. He then added 'Waterfall' to the note, nodding.
He kept his ears pricked and head raised warily as he followed his mentor to the Fireclan border, tasting the air at certain intervals. Fireclan seemed strange to him.

"This was previously Rockclan territory. Fireclan just recently took over when Rockclan moved out." she said, "We still share a border with Rockclan to though, the Firefly Chasm. It is truly a beautiful place at night when all the fireflies are out, they look like stars." she said. "Anyway, what do you know about Rockclan."

Darkpaw again was intent of what Snowwhisper was saying, his attenion entirely on her.
"Well, to be honest, I don't know much. I guess I only discussed Treeclan and Fireclan." He meowed, apologetic. It would have been helpful for him to know something.

(Oh, I had meant to type Fireclan not Rockclan XD)
"Ok then, we'll talk more about Rockclan when we get there. What about Fireclan? What do you know about them?"
