Apprentices/Normal Clan Life

[Runfast]

Goldpaw, an apprentice, looked around the camp feeling very left out. The other apprentices had gone off with their mentors, or with a group, training or patrolling. Yet here he was, stranded in camp with a cut paw.
Longflight had given him some poppy seeds to accompany his marigold poultice, but Goldpaw didn't feel like resting.
He wanted to hunt! He wanted to help his Clan rebuild! He wanted to... He wanted...
Goldpaw sat down, his tail lashing in frustration.
"Now what," he muttered.

Longflight sauntered out of the Elder's Den, looking at the prey-pile with a longing glance.
"No pikas... Hmp." He turned to look at the yellow apprentice and dipped his head. "Hello, youngster. Stuck in camp, eh?"

Goldpaw nodded, his nose scrunched in dismay.

Longflight chuckled as he padded back towards the Elder's Den, meowing over his shoulder,
"Well, stay away from the thorn fields near the west border, and maybe that paw of your's will get better."

Goldpaw's ears flattened, his pelt burning in embarrassment - he'd had an encounter with said bushes, they which cause his sliced paw.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he muttered. Goldpaw lay down, setting his chin on his uninjured paw, sighing due to boredom.
