As they walked a path through the territory, Sloepaw quickly discovered leading a patrol was difficult. She was constantly turning her head to check if others were coming along, snapping at cats who stopped in the back (which would be her on a different day), and trying to talk loud enough to reach everyone. Part of the flora she pointed out, she embellished their stories and uses. It's not like anyone else knew the truth from the lies, so a few little details that made her seem smart were okay in her books. But still, her nonexistent patience wore thin. In the midst of inspecting an herb, she pauses her explanation. "I'm really bored now. Let's go home."Complaints rippled through the nature walk patrol. Cries of 'too far from camp to stop now' echoed in her ears. Narrowing her eyes, the curly-eared apprentice's nose wrinkled in anger. "I've shown you all of this path! What more do you want from me? You're literally all capable of walking, so get to it!"With a lash of her tail, she was storming off through the underbrush, leaving the patrol to scramble with her. 🌿 sloepaw 🌿 mca 🌿 sunclan 🌿 |

»»——— Honeyflare ———«« Well, that wasn’t good. He wasn’t completely sure why Sloepaw had been left in charge of a patrol of any kind - he’d never led a patrol as an apprentice, and not even as a warrior yet. Sure, the path of a medicine cat was different, but maybe Vinedapple should’ve been leading it with Sloepaw to watch. In any case, now the patrol had a hotheaded cat run off on her own. The territory had been calm these days, but considering she hadn’t been a warrior apprentice too long - well, he’d rather her not be by herself. “Sloepaw, wait up!,” he called, bounding after as fast as his paws would take him. He wouldn’t be beyond tackling her if that was what it’d take to get her to talk, but for now he would stick to the running. “Why are you so upset? We can talk!”Honeyflare hoped his own prickly reputation might get her to talk to him. It wasn’t long ago that they were temperamental denmates mutually rolling their eyes at words they deemed stupid. Surely, there had to be some reason for her to act this way. He knew she wasn’t keen on this path, but was there not any point to doing your best regardless? Just to prove you could? |

Sloepaw considered the track she was running as Honeyflare sprinted after her. She knew if she ran too far, they'd both be lost. Skidding to a bound, she looked behind her, eyes narrowed as the familiar pelt came into sight. "I'm just bored." Her voice waved across the tangled understory of the field, hoping to find the other. "They're annoying. I thought they were bored, too."Really, she didn't stop to consider why she was upset at the little nature walk. Just that she was growing irritated by their idle faces and grass-fiddling paws. Why was she doing all of this if nobody was impressed? Finally slowing to a halt, the curled-ear molly turned her back on Honeyflare, afraid her former denmate would see the embarrassment and remorse in her expression. 🌿 sloepaw 🌿 mca 🌿 sunclan 🌿 |

»»——— Honeyflare ———«« He did not think this through. “You seem awfully upset to just be about it being boredom,”he commented cautiously, carefully approaching as she'd finally stopped putting distance between them. He wasn't going to try to get her to look at him, not at the moment. He didn't want her to bolt again. He hesitated before continuing to speak. “I think you might be asking too much from yourself. I mean, I thought it was cool to hear what you learned already. I think, maybe, you might just be putting too much pressure on yourself. I've never- I've never led a patrol before, but you were different out there than you were when you were just following the patrol leader. You don't have to be perfect, just y'know... try your best.”The last few words fell unnaturally from his mouth, and he growled his frustration at himself. She was much younger than him, but he struggled to think of her as much different from his denmate - though they weren't anymore. He sighed in resignation. “I- I saw how upset you got when you were announced to be a medicine cat apprentice. Does this have anything to do with that? I went looking for you but I didn't end up able to catch you after you left camp. Are you... doing okay?”Man, he was the wrong cat to have chased after her. Yet, he did it anyway. He thought bitterly to himself about how Wheatburr would likely have an easier time with this - everything was easy for her - but sat down. He was here now, and he wouldn't just abandon Sloepaw after trying to extend help like that. No, he was too stubborn for that. He might care a bit too much for that, too. |
