Owlclaw sat on the edge of the camp. He pawed at the ground, accidently leaving claw marks as he realized he had claws unsheathed. His claws shot back inside of his paw as he shifted uneasily in his position. The sky was an overcast grey, not uncommon for MistClan Cats, as they did not mind the pouring rain, that was for FlareClan to do. Thoughts streamed into his head like a torrent, he was 52 moons old, yet he couldn't remember his life before that of 36 moons ago. Much of his life was shrouded in mystery, yet the smells and sights of the burning camp still haunted him by night.
Owlclaw shook his head, forcing the thoughts out for a small time. He gave the clan a quick scan, his powerful eyes picking up the smallest details. There weren't that many cats in the camp, which surprised him. Normally the camp was full of life. But then again, there was a slight drop in prey, probably causing more Warriors out for hunting patrol.

Leopardpaw was unconditionally bored. After feeding the elders, and removing ticks he padded over to Owlclaw,"Hey there." Leopardpaw squeaked excitedly. He was without a mentor but was still carrying our Apprentice duties. She circled him playfully then sat down in front of the senior warrior. "Whata'ya thinking about huh?" Leopardpaw was unusually interested in this old tom, not to mention she was a bit nosy to begin with.

Owlclaw shifted as the apprentice ran about in the camp. When she came up to him he was surprised, normally younger cats, especially apprentices, were to afraid to approach the Senior Warrior. He flicked his tail as Leopardpaw was about to speak.
"What'ya thinking about huh?"
Owlclaw shifted uneasily again, he decided it was for the best to not lie... This time. "I'm thinking about the fire that destroyed the Old Forest. You were lucky you weren't born yet, the fire destroyed much more than just cat's homes". The running, the heat, the yowling, it all flooded back into his mind. Owlclaw forced it out once again and put his eyes back onto Leopardpaw. "I'm aware you're without a mentor?" he meowed. Hopefully training brought back memories of who he was before the fire, also, he was helping MistClan become strong once again.

Leopardpaw felt a stab and traced her eyes to the ground. She had heard stories of the fire in the old forest, within the clan once before named Shoreclan. She shivered as she thought of the heat, screeching and burning of the forest. Pain welled inside her as she was looking into Owlclaws aged eyes. She decided to be optimistic was she listened to Owlclaws words.
"I'm aware you're without a mentor?"
Leopardpaw nodded, "I need a good mentor, I'm going to be the best warrior in the forest." she said with triumph. Holding her head high and her chest out, to far, and she fell over onto the ground. She face got hot under her fur as she looked at Owlclaw abashed.

Owlclaw chuckled as he turned the young apprentice back over onto her feet. He blinked and then flicked his tail, dislodging the remains of some leaves that had stuck to Leopardpaw's pelt. The Senior Warrior liked to brood over the past as glimpses of his memories would rise up in his head, some to only disappear once again into the dark depths of his mind. He remembered the two Apprentices he had mentored before successfully and then the others which he had not done so well at, he shook to free his pelt and mind of the hubris.
"I'll make sure I speak to Devilstar about it, I'm sure he won't mind, after all, it's for the good of the clan". Owlclaw meowed, smiling as he felt the familiar surge of pride wash over him, it was always good to mentor an apprentice, it helped the clan and it was a signal of strength in MistClan once again. His scar seemed to itch on his neck, he'd have to visit the Medicine Cat soon after visiting Devilstar.
"Before I ask Devilstar anything I'd like to know of any other warriors have offered? It wouldn't be polite to not tell them of your plan, or politely decline their offer". Owlclaw didn't want to alienate any of his clanmates, but he was sure that no one else would have offered yet, after all, Leopardpaw had only just been made an apprentice.

Owlclaw helped Leopardpaw back onto her feet after tripping clumsily. She shook her fur as i ruffled and fluffed a bit. Her bright eyes flashed up at Owlclaw,
"I'll make sure I speak to Devilstar about it, I'm sure he won't mind, after all, it's for the good of the clan".
Leopardpaw felt a jolt of excitement to have a mentor. After all having a mentor, such as the senior warrior Owlclaw, would be most pleasing. OWlclaw had shifted as if something was hurting him.
"Before I ask Devilstar anything I'd like to know of any other warriors have offered? It wouldn't be polite to not tell them of your plan, or politely decline their offer."
Leopardpaw shook her head. "No. No one else has asked i don't think I'm so welcome in the clan. IT seems as if other apprentices, and warriors don't paw much attention to me." Thinking back on her Kittypet roots. A shiver rippled up her spine as she remembered the excitement of being taken into a clan, but the happiness vanished as she soon realized she had few friends, and was fighting for her loyalty.

Owlclaw nodded at the apprentice's response. He was happy that the young cat was eager as it would make training so much easier on the both of them. He smiled at her response that no one paid attention to her, that reminded him of himself after he had lost his memory, most cats still didn't trust him one bit. Although Torrentheart had always seemed to be holding something back, he remembered pulling the grumpy apprentice out of the medicine cat burrow. He never saw what had happened to the cat's mentor, Ripplestream.
"Ill talk to Devilstar right now actually, I see him in his burrow, I'll tell you the answer when I return". With that the senior warrior flicked his tail in good bye to the apprentice. Hidng his oveloading enthusiasm.
