TRAVESTY [p]

[Amberflash]

So, Amberflash's grandson, Aloepaw, had run off. His scent hadn't been renewed in camp, so he'd run off. It had left her in a bit of a depressed mood. She questioned if she'd actually changed, and wasn't still abusing her family and treating them like crap. So, she'd checked in on her other grandchildren who were still around.

Which was how she found Foxpaw, and his disaster of a situation. He was way past warrior age, having grown into his full adult bulk. Yet, he was still entirely self-taught, and didn't know the proper Fireclan technique. This could not go on. She would help her grandson learn the proper forms, and then she'd give him his assessment, and then he'd get his warrior name. Hopefully... Last time hadn't gone so well, as Aloepaw had failed. She shook her head. No. Foxclaw had passed her training when she'd been young and inexperienced. It had simply been a case of Aloepaw refusing to learn.

So, she poked her head into the apprentice's den. "Psst! Foxpaw! Remember what I said about finally giving you training? Well, we should start now!" She hissed.

Foxpaw

[Foxpaw]

Foxpaw had been... Gone for the last moons. He had ran off on his own into the territory, and barely made an appearance in front of any cat. His siblings were gone, his friends were gone, he didn't have much to do in this life of his. Mostly, he just napped. He had tried to hunt, but failed about half of the time.

He was woken up by the sound of a voice, something that never happened in his life. He groaned, slowly standing up to see his grandmother. He blinked, and sighed. "Y-yeah, okay." He muttered, walking towards her. In all honestly, he didn't remember any mention of it.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash backed up as she allowed Foxpaw to get out of the den. She walked over to the fresh-kill pile, picked up a mouse, and walked back to her grandson. She dropped the piece of prey at his feet. "Here, eat. You shouldn't go into a day of training on an empty stomach."

[Foxpaw]

Foxpaw nodded to the warrior in respect. It was funny how she was dragging him to train. He should have been a warrior long ago, but he just never had any training. He weakly smiled at Amberflash and ate the mouse quickly.

In between bites, he looked up and murmured. "So, what's the plan?"

[Amberflash]

Amberflash began to lead Foxpaw away, and out of camp. "I probably should've checked up on you sooner. You haven't been taught anything, right? Well, I realize I'm incredibly late... But I hope to fix that and finally get you on the road to getting your warrior name. You should have it already, but we need to go through the proper channels first. Is that alright?" She asked, for confirmation, looking over her shoulder.

[Foxpaw]

Foxpaw glanced to the side, nodding along. He felt embarrassed that nobody bothered to train him. All of his other siblings had warrior names, but not him. He was always the baby of the group, wasn't he? He glanced back at the white warrior.

"No one bothered with me, so no proper training for me. I guess we can go through the proper channels."

[Amberflash]

Amberflash sighed. "... I didn't know before I decided to check in lately." She snorted. "Your cousins are walking nightmares." She said offhandedly, as she continued to lead Foxpaw deep into Fireclan territory.

[Foxpaw]

Foxpaw sighed as he glanced at his paws. Where would he be if she hadn't checked in? He shook his head as Amberflash mentioned his cousins. "I've heard of them... Not really close to any of them, but yes. They are nightmares reincarnated as living cats." He rolled his eyes.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash sighed. "We thought your litter was a bit messed up. I realize now that we got lucky with you and your siblings. You lot might've had your problems, but... You did come out as decent adults." She looked back at Foxpaw. "Anyways, we're here." She stopped in her tracks and turned around. "So... I guess show me what you can do in the way of hunting. I'll fill gaps in your knowledge."
