 CottonPaw shuffled her paws along the ground below her, wrinkling her nose. Her paws were still wet from her failed attempts of catching a fish, and she decided she needed to prove to her mentor she could hunt. She waved her tail uneasily in the air, glancing around. CottonPaw never did like hunting on land, but she was tired of splashing in the water in an attempt on catching a tiny little fish. It was her last resort. She paused, looking up to the Tall Tree. Her ears pinned to her head as she stumbled back to try and see the top of it. She blinked. I bet it could reach Starclan at that height. Is it worth climbing? Her thoughts rumbled through her head, but she shook them away. No. I'm meant to be hunting. I have to show RobinSmoke I can hunt just as well as the next apprentice... even if it means on land.She quickly glanced back down and crouched into a messy crouch. She never did get the hang of it. Her paws crept forward as she approached the bird that had fluttered down. It didn't seem to notice her, thank starclan, but she got worried that if she got any closer, it would flutter away and leave her to go back to camp with empty paws. She narrowed her eyes, bunching her muscles. Her paws shifted as she sprung into the air and... sailed right over the bird. She crashed right into the trunk of the tree with a yelp. The bird twittered an alarming call and flew away. Cottonpaw cursed it, groaning as she sat up and rubbed her head with a paw. She shook it, biting her tongue with a hiss as it began to ache. Who decided hunting on land was a good idea anyways? She glanced around warily, hoping no one saw her embarassing fail.

Robinsmoke walked through the tranquil Riverclan territory, the quiet sounds of life were calming, reminding the calico cat that she wasn't alone. She had gone out for a walk, after failing to find her apprentice at camp, she had decided to go look for the young cat. She was worried about Cottonpaw, the she-cat was always becoming frustrated when unable to complete any moves. She was a good apprentice, yet impatient and snappy. Both her parents had died, something Robinsmoke could relate with, perhaps that was why they had been paired. A sudden noise caught the warrior's attention before she could ponder further, she quickly rushed forwards to see what had caused the commotion. The place was familiar, she had a sudden memory of attempting to climb the Tall Tree, resulting in a fall that had confined her to the medicine cat den for ages. Hoping that wouldn't be the case, she looked towards the base. There, in plain sight, was her apprentice! It seemed as if the she-cat had crashed into the tree, a look of pain and anger was placed upon her face. A few scattered bird feathers showed the apprentice's attempt at catching it. "Are you alright? That must hurt." Robinsmoke spoke the words tenderly, hoping the sooth the younger cat. Doing a quick check on the calico cat seemed to show that she wasn't injured too badly, wet paws showed an attempt at fishing. "Hunting on land is a pain, I can help you if you need help on catching fish."

CottonPaw huffed with great annoyance to have been found out by her mentor. She frowned hard. "I don't need help with it. I can do it." She got to her paws quickly, wanting to prove something. Anything to make her mentor say okay and leave her to her own failings. Her tail twitched quickly as she took a deep breath. "The bird just... I don't know, beat me up I guess and chucked me at the tree." She snorted, attempting a joke. Her head did ache still, and the pain was worse with her quick standing. "I'll be fine. I just need to concentrate on the prey."
She shifted her paws, wondering if she was just being hard on her mentor. All she was doing was trying to help me. But she shook her head, dismissing the thought. She's just being a worry-bird. I'm not helpless! Her paws scuffed the earth below before she once agaiin glanced to the top of the tree, whiskers twitching and ears flattening against her head. She narrowed her eyes, concerned with how the tree was tilting in her vision, swimming and waving. A trick of the light, or maybe from me hitting the tree? Hopefully the light. I can't afford to lose out on any training from spending time in the medicine den.

Robinsmoke detected a hint of annoyance from her apprentice, the young cat seemed to not want any help. The warrior felt concern, if she continued to attempt to train alone she wouldn't be able to learn as quickly. That injury... it worried her. Taking a break from training would not be a problem, yet the consequences from neglecting it may be disastrous. The warrior paused for a moment before speaking, "Asking for help is not showing weakness, just... remember that." She gave a small sigh, looking up at the Tall Tree. Glancing back at her apprentice, she took a quick assessment, immediately noticing that something was off. The young cat seemed unstable, their body swaying slightly as if unbalanced. "Are you okay? Let's go back to camp. Even if it's nothing you shouldn't ignore your own health." Robinsmoke walked next to Cottonpaw and gently placed her tail on the cat's shoulder. "I just don't want you getting even more hurt." She gave a reassuring smile to the apprentice, hoping that they would be fine.

CottonPaw sighed heavily. Shaking her head lightly, she had to admit it hurt. Her paws scuffed the ground as she looked to her mentor and grimaced. "Yeah... I'll admit it does hurt. A lot." She snorted, looking to the ground. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to show you I could hunt... Fishing didn't work so I guess I tried hunting. That didn't work either." She raised a paw and rubbed it against her head. "You'll lead me? I'm not sure if I can make it to camp without stumbling and tripping all around..." She let her sentence trail off as she glanced back to RobinSmoke with a small smile.

Grateful that her apprentice was accepting her help, Robinsmoke gave a bright smile to the younger cat. "Prey has been scarce, it's not your fault if your unable to catch anything." She was happy that Cottonpaw was back to her old, joking self. "Ah, of course!" Letting the smaller cat lean against her, the warrior supported her apprentice as they made their was back to camp. "Take it easy until you get better, then start actually listening to my advice." Her voice contained a spark of humor, teasing the apprentice. She was glad that Cottonpaw was able to trust her, although their clan may be falling on hard times, there was still light that could be seen. Perhaps everything would work out in the end...
(Do you want to end it soon?)

(Yeah we can take it to camp)
CottonPaw was glad her mentor wasn't as harsh as most would've been. She allowed her mentor to lead her back to camp, thinking over a few things that wouldn't make her head hurt as much.
