Copperpaw saw Viverpaw run up to him and laughed seeing how hyper she was. "Hey Viverpaw. Are you and Hazelclaw doing anything today? Fawnstep has stuff to do in the nursery like always...." Narrowing his eyes he looked at the ground and sighed. It seemed like he was the only apprentice that never had any training. Although he was great at battling and could learn new things with ease, it just seemed like his mentor never really wanted an apprentice, or maybe she just didnt want Copperpaw as her apprentice. Looking up again he shook his head to try and feel better and waited for Viverpaw to answer.
Summerpaw held her tounge against Copperpaw. Something about his nosyness pissed her off, setting her head aflame with annoyance. If she opened her mouth she'd snap at him. Her legs locked and she tilted her head, letting her eyes wander in a dreamy way until the tom descided to go away. Her mother had told her about curious toms. She didn't plan to be a mate or StarClan forbid, a mother. She vowed to herself she'd take care of her clan, and her clan as a whole. She'd be the best warrior she could be with her size. She needed to be useful to the clan, and by her mother's example, she'd never be able to do that. Her mother had four kits, and three died of greencough, it was the biggest tragedy with sickness that seasons remembered.
Summerpaw made her way to the medicine cat den quickly, making sure not to track any more blood. "Willowtail." She whispered, looking around the den quickly. No other breath sounded, no other pelt moving slowly up and down, so she entered the den, putting up her sore pads gently. Willowtail had been the only one to know about her hurt paws while she slept until that day.

Viverpaw calmed down and sat there calmly. She had cooled off and everything came to her. "I hope she's allright." she replied. Hazelclaw flashed a bit of an angry glance at Copperpaw. But cooled off too. Ah well, they needed to get started. "Say, would you like to come hunting with us? We were just about to go out." she mewed in a happy tone. SHe looked up to Hazelclaw. "Please?" she pleaded. "Sure. I'm guessing that he'd like to get out every now and then." Hazelclaw chuckled.
Copperpaw glanced at the deputy and rolled his eyes. "Ha ha ha, your so funny." Getting up he looked at the nursery then back at Hazelclaw. "I guess I'll go with you too, with your skills I'll be surprised if you caught a blind mouse." Copperpaw grinned and looked toward the camp entrance. Before the deputy could reply he turned his head and looked around. "Are we going now or waiting for anyone else?"
Viverpaw had already raced ahead of him, her paws not making a sound. "HA! Try and beat that!" she laughed. She jumped up into a tree, and crouched in it. She spotted a robin, and crept along the branch. It hadn't noticed her, and was giving out a mating call. SHe smacked it with her paw, snappin its neck, and climbed down with it. "Now who can't hunt what?" she giggled at Copperpaw. Hazelclaw came over, after some thought. He gave a chuckle. "Hmmm, I think he hasn't caught anything yet." he joked. Viverpaw lay her kill under fresh earth and headed farther, drinking in the scent of more prey. Hazelclaw walked up to Copperpaw. "So, how about you try and get ahead of her? Let's see who can catch the most." he said with a grin.
Copperpaw watched as Viverpaw began scenting for prey, flicking his tail he crouched and nodded. "Ok. I bet I'll beat her by ten mice!" Darting off he jumped over the apprentice and landed swiftly on the ground. A squirrel hearing the noise of Copperpaw's paws hit the ground began to run up a nearby tree. Thinking fast Copperpaw jumped on the tree's closest branch and caught the squirrel in his claws as it started to climb. "Ha! Beat that!" Jumping off the branch he sniffed the air for more prey, then burried the squirrel in some leaves.

Viverpaw gave a chuckle. She noticed that a plump vole was crouching near a tree, and she crept up to it, slowly placing her paw over its spine, and then snapping it. She burried that one too, and went for more prey. Her score was 2 so far.
ooc: who is Owlpaw's Mentor? ic: Willowtail heard Summerpaw outside her den. She padded out. "So how are your paws?" Willowtail said glancing at Summerpaw's bleeding paws. "So I guess not so good." Willowtail said then she padded over to the cobwebs and took one off. Willowtail then sat down and put them on Summerpaw's paws.

Copperpaw's eyes sparked with exitement. This was the most fun he had in moons. Silently walking in another direction he kept his tail and ears low and mouth open for new scents. The smell of mouse drifted into his nose as a small gray shape moved in between some leaves. Watching his step Copperpaw crept up to the mouse and knocked his paw onto its head. Purring he picked the limp body up and walked back to where he had placed his squirrel. "Two to two" He announced and sniffed the air again.
