Swallowsong was taking a walk in the Meadows. The pretty tabby she-cat wanted to take a break from the busy Clan life and she had come to the Meadows to relax. She flopped down on some soft, long grasses and closed her eyes contentedly for a little while. Soon, her ears twitched as she heard the sound of pawsteps heading her way. She sprang up, alert and looked around, scenting one of her own Clan, she relaxed a little, but remained standing still.

Falcontalon came out of the bushes, carrying a skinny mouse and a vole. He noticed Swallowsong standing alertly. "Hi!" he said sort of down-heartedly, "I've just been hunting, but I wasn't all that successful..." he gestured to the mouse and vole at his paws. "Its still something, I suppose, but all the same its not likely it will make much difference to a whole Clan of cats." he added gloomily. His stomach grumbled, but he ignored it. The elders and queens had to be fed first. He went over to Swallowsong and settled down beside her.

Swallowsong nodded to Falcontalon and noticed his face. "Don't feel bad," she meowed to the crestfallen warrior. ((he is kinda crestfallen, right?)) "...So, uh, what have you done today so far?" Swallowsong made a poor attempt in trying to start a conversation. "Just hunting?" she looked around awkwardly.

"I went on the dawn patrol and been hunting," Falcontalon answered. "I can't do many other things, can I? I don't have an apprentice and I haven't seen any intruders in our territory lately." he wished he had an apprentice, but there weren't any six moons old kits and he was probably too young. "How about you? What have you been doing?"

Swallowsong nodded slightly, no quite paying attention to what her Clan mate was saying. "Okaaaay..." when she heardthe part about him not having an apprentice, she meowed, "Maybe Midnightstar will let you have Blossomkit when she's an apprentice," the tabby mused. Swallowsong would've liked an apprentice of her own, but she was Blossomkits mother and there were no other kits at the moment in the nursery.

"Are we talking about apprentices here?" Dawntear meowed, padding out of the bushes. She was having a quiet hunt by herself here near the Meadows, and she had only caught a small part of Swallowsong's and Falcontalon's conversation. She padded over to where the two warriors sat, and sat down beside her mate. "I wish I had an apprentice." she muttered.

"I guess all of us do." Falcontalon said. "But there aren't enough apprentices. Is Blossomkit the oldest kit? I probably won't get an apprentice soon and I don't think you will either, Dawntear. There are older warriors than us without apprentices. I guess we'll just have to wait for our turn, that's all." he finished.

Swallowsong nodded to Falcontalon's mate as she appeared. "Well," the tabby she-cat meowed, "There are a warrior or two that are younger than I am and they have had or have apprentices. You two will get apprentices soon, don't worry. Blossomkit will be ready in two or three moons," she smiled as she thought of her beloved kit, although the milky white kit was always misbehaving in some way.

Dawntear shook her head. "I've just been made a warrior. I'm probably the newest warrior in the whole Clan now. Everybody will have an apprentice before I get one." she sighed, "But I bet I'm one of the best hunters in the Clan!"

Falcontalon smiled at the defiance in Dawntear's voice as she spoke about her hunting skills. "You probably are, but still (xD), Midnightstar probably doesn't choose mentors because of their hunting skills. Shee might take it into account, but in the end I think she chooses warriors that have most experience." he looked at Swllowsong, wondering what her opinion was on this. She became a warrior before he did.
ooc: Did Swallowsong ever have apprentices?

ooc - No, not yet Swallowsong listened to the two mates and suddenly found hersefl wishing for an apprentice of her own. She sighed inwardly and meowed, "I think Falcontalon would be a good mentor for Blossomkit," she looked at the younger tom. "You are patient and firm, which is exactly the kind of discipline that she needs."

Falcontalon looked down at his paws in embarrassment when Swallowsong said he would make a good mentor for Blossomkit. He liked to watch the young kit play in the camp. "Thanks," he muttered awkwardly to his paws. He looked up. "Swallowsong? Can mothers choose mentors for their kits? I thought only Midnightstar could choose."

ooc - Swallowsong is Windpaw's mentor right now...but she's not going to mention it since this is before that happened.
Swallowsong smiled. "I could recommend you to Midnightstar," she told the light brown tom. "There's no harm in doing that," the tabby she-cat glanced over at Falcontalon's mate. "I'm sure there will be more kits in newleaf that will need a mentor," she assured Dawntear.
ooc - sorry short post
