Massive white paws led the handsome tabby from Redscar and the others were huddles around waiting for their instructions as dawn slowly seeped it's way into the world. It was a fairly chilly morning, the sky was graying from black as pink and blue streaked up from the bottom near the horizon. The clouds were near absent but the breeze held a bit of a bite to it, not that it bothered the thick coated Maine Coon.

Wind was apart of Lightningclan life.

Making his way to the apprentice den, there was a mission upon the lazy tom's mind. His deputy was going out with his sister today, and therefor asked if the younger warrior could take Lynxpaw out for a hunt. While Falconblaze enjoyed doing things at dawn, he usually preferred the less active route of walking along a border, patrolling it for any unusual actives.

And with him never having an apprentice, this would be his first experience in a training like situation.

The brown tabby and white tom poked his head into the den, memories of when he and his sister were apprentices flashed through his mind and a purr of amusement rose from his throat at the fact that his lazy behavior had yet to change since then. Something Heronscreech has always despised with a passion.

"Lynxpaw!" Falconblaze mewed in his friendly, somewhat natural flirtatious voice in an attempt to gain the fluffy apprentice's attention. Those golden pools of his lit up when he saw an ear twitch with affirmation. With a swish of his plume tail, the handsome tomcat pulled his head from the entrance to lower his haunches and curl his tail around his massive paws.

"Hey Fluff." He purred affectionately as the pretty she-cat made her way from the den to join him, a smirk almost curled on his maw as his whiskers twitched. He was well aware that he wasn't actually mentoring the younger she-cat today, but he couldn't help feel a glow of pride at the fact that he had been asked to help Redscar out for the day.

Falconblaze's ego was definitely stroked at the moment.

"Redscar is doing some training stuff with Owlmind today, so i'm taking you out hunting." His tone was once again rumbled by a purr as it exited his muzzle, gold hues slowly running over Lynxpaw's fluffy form and nubbed tail. Standing, the massive tomcat flicked his plume tail to gently brush her shoulder, his natural flirtatious side showing as he turned to lazily trot towards the entrance of the camp.

Glancing over his shoulder, those golden pools captured Lynxpaw's own gaze. "Any preferences on where we hunt today?"

Dancing through the fire

Dawn patrol had been utterly boring; there hadn't been any hint of a trace of StoneClan cats, besides their fresh markers that proved they'd been out already, and Lynxpaw had been left itching for action. She'd almost got it when a rabbit popped up from a hole, but she'd only taken one leap at it before it had ducked straight back down.

A nap sounded ideal after she'd had a bite to eat- after checking on the elders and queens, of course. StarClan forbid she not think of them. She'd hardly curled up, however, when her name was called; Falconnlaze's familiar tones summoning her back into the camp. She grumbled a moment, wondered if there was any way she could pretend to have not heard him, and then rose to obey.

She liked Falconblaze; he was a young warrior and very much like her in that he had a knack for saying what he thought and seemed to be constantly on the lookout for fun things to do- that didn't always result in him following the code.

Padding from the den, Lynxpaw blinked at the tom, her tail giving a mock lash. "Fluff yourself," she retorted, but she listened all the same and excitement flashed through her eyes at his explanation. "Oh, really? Great! Dawn patrol was so dull, I might as well have not even gone."

She followed the warrior, much more willing now to do as bid, head tipping a bit in thought, before narrowing her eyes at him and reaching a paw to bat his tail away, pinning the end to the ground. "I saw a rabbit earlier at Star Field. Maybe we could try there?"

And you're gonna hear me roar

"Oh, really? Great! Dawn patrol was so dull, I might as well have not even gone."

Lynxpaw's tone caused a mewl of laughter to pass his two-toned muzzle, especially since Dawn Patrol was one of his favorite activities to take a part of. Although he hadn't been apart of the patrol this morning, he figured after his hunt with the younger apprentice that he would partake the Dusk Patrol while the sun sunk below the horizon.

That was later, and for now he focused on taking Lynxpaw out as Redscar had instructed.

The lackadaisical warrior was rather excited about the task given to him by the red coated deputy, not to mention he also enjoyed being around Lynxpaw in general. She was a fun apprentice, despite the fact that she was more driven than he was. However, not wanting to be outdone by a younger cat, she managed to set a fire under his tail.

And not many cats had the ability to do that.

The lazy wave of the multicolored tom's tail was paused when pinned to the ground by the younger she-cat following him. Halting his movements, though that happy purr still evident within his throat, the handsome tom glanced over his shoulder to view Lynxpaw with her paws effectively trapping the tip of his plumed tail to the cool ground. Whiskers twitched with amusement, despite the fact that the fluffy apprentice was more than likely not intending for it to be playful.

"Star Field?" Falconblaze tilted his head to the side, repeating Lynxpaw's spot for potential hunting.

The massive Maine Coon gave a nod, impressed with the younger she-cat's deductive reasoning. If one rabbit was already spotted, then there was bound to be more out and about. Of course, he shouldn't have expected anything less, she was the leader's daughter after all.

Falconblaze wondered for a split second if this was what it was like to be a mentor.

Then flicked an ear as if to rid himself of that troublesome idea of training another cat before gently pulling his fluffy tail from Lynxpaw's grip, waving it forward to let her take the lead. "That sounds like a good place to me." The massive tomcat fell instep with his companion, their direction pointed towards the part of Lightningclan territory that she had suggested only moments before.

The white socked tom rather enjoyed Star Field, it was one of his favorite places to spend a lazy amount of time.

Like a warrior, Falconblaze's ears perked up in alert mode the second he made his way from the comfort and safety of the clan's camp. The cold Leaf-Fall winds buffeting his long furred coat of white and brown, the slight tinge of Leafbare on the breeze's coattails. Soon the entire moorlands would be covered in a thick, white blanket of snow and prey would be even harder to find.

It was honestly Falconblaze's least favorite time of year.

Warm golden pools glanced over at the fluffy form of Lynxpaw near him, the small smirk on his maw disappeared as his jaw opened to speak to her. "So how is your training going?" The massive tom wondered if Redscar was a tough mentor, not to mention he was the deputy. Of course, Falconblaze had no doubt that Lynxpaw could handle the senior warrior's training regiment.

She was as strong willed as any she-cat of Lightningclan.

The apprentice's short tail twitched side to side as Falconblaze laughed, amusement in the ripple of her whiskers. When she pinned his tail and he glanced back over his shoulder at her, the look in his eye one of continued laughter, she scowled back. But she let him go when he tugged his tail from her grasp and skipped forward to his side, their destination decided.

Blinking over at him at the question, Lynxpaw shrugged. "It's okay," she replied shortly. Trotting at the bigger tom's side, her ears up and eyes peeled, she left the answer as it was and fell silent as she searched for any signs of prey- rabbit, mouse or bird. A flicker of brush a distance away caught her eye and she stopped dead, flicking her ears to point it out to Falconblaze in case he had missed it. "Should I get closer? We'll have to cut it off from its den and I'm smaller than you are."

Without waiting for an answer, though, she dropped into a crouch and began to stalk forward, keeping her eyes on the tips of the rabbit's ears that she could just see above the grass. She intended to try to get between it and the hole, so that if the warrior spooked it and it bolted, she'd be right in the way to make the catch. Her eyes narrowed at the thought of tricking the stupid thing, of bringing back a good meal for her Clanmates to feast on. All they had to do was actually catch it, and that shouldn't be too hard.
