Sparrowkit, Ripplekit

"well, if there were other cats, then that would mean they were intruding on our territory, and we would need to chase them off. If there were other cat's scents, then they are long gone, and for all we know, it could just be the border marker. So, i will ask you again, and this time, be more respectful with the answer, or I'll have you picking ticks off the elders for a whole moon." he made sure he was understood when he demanded respect. "Do you smell cats, or cat's scents?" He starred down at her hard, his eyes burning through her pelt.

Ripplepaw glared back defiantly. She wasn't about to admit that she still couldn't tell the difference. "If you want to know so badly, why don't you take a whiff for yourself?" she hissed. "And quit looking at me like that, I don't like it!"

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

"I see, so you desire to remain an apprentice for the rest of your life? In that case, go on, run back to camp and soak some moss in mouse bile. I'm sure the elders will be needing ticks removed quite desperately right now." He had had enough of her attitude.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

"Psh!" Ripplepaw hissed. "Why couldn't I have a BETTER, more EXPERIENCED mentor?"

ooc: sorry dev, she's supposed to be disrespectful, don't take it personally

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

OOC: Psh, why would I take it personally!? I know she's supposed to be disrespectful! Silly goose!

Annoyed by the rude little apprentice, he hissed "What did I do to diserve this ungrateful little prick of an apprentice! Great STARclan!" He turned and directed his words to Ripplepaw, "And to think, your supposed to be the daughter of a great leader! HA!" He turned tail and began walking back toward the camp, and with his last words, he spoke "And replace all the moss in the camp, while you're at it!" and ducked into the forest cover.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

Ripplepaw snorted. "Replace the moss yourself, foxdung!"
His words hadn't fazed her. She didn't need a newly-named warrior for a mentor anyways, she might as well train herself!
Train herself...
A mouse scurried by and the little apprentice dropped into a hunter's crouch.

Laurelstar had gone to check on how his daughter's training was coming along, when he ran straight into vervaintail.
"What is this?" he meowed, and edge in his voice. "Where is Ripplepaw?"

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

V E R V A I N T A I L
Vervaintail stopped, an air of annoyance buzzing around him. "Out disrespecting me, per usual." He snorted. How DARE he try to put her behavior on him!? "If she's so keen on getting rid of me, so be it!" He pushed past the leader and continued toward the camp. He didn't care if he had been disrespectful, he was furious.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

Bristling, the leader rounded on Vervaintail.
"Get your tail back here, you pathetic excuse for a young warrior!" The black tom wouldn't take disrespect like this from anyone, especially not from a cat who had only recently become a warrior.

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

Vervaintail, just about ready to rip someone's head off, spun around. Thinking better of it, he took a deep breath and sighed. With nothing better to say, he meowed "Fine." In a stiff voice.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

"Would you like to give Ripplepaw to a different warrior, and take on one of Hush-heart's?" Laurelstar asked, suddenly kind and understanding. Though he didn't like to admit anything was wrong with his kit, he knew Ripplepaw could be a pain in the rear. "They should have been made apprentices last moon, but I couldn't find enough warriors to mentor them."

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

V E R V A I N T A I L
Vervaintail, stunned by the offer after having expected dicipline from him, had nothing to say. Should he admit defeat by the ignorant apprentice, and take up the offer, or continue the training. The thought of ridding himself of the impossible task made him sigh in relief. It was then he realized how much of a burden Ripplepaw had been to him. Without any more thought, he said "Yes, please." although feeling a tad ashamed. Had he let down his mentor and his leader? No. Otherwise his leader would not have offered him a new apprentice. He would have just diciplined him and taken his apprentice away, not trusted him with another. With one last thought, he said "May I suggest that you follow up on her punishment for the disrespect she has shown?" he thought it was needed, but, seeing as how the appretice clearly wasn't going to listen to him, maybe she would listen to her father and idle.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

There was no disppointment etched in Laurelstar's face, in fact, there was nothing to give away his emotion as he replied "yes, she does need to learn respect, doesn't she? You'll mentor Dovekit then."
And with this the leader stalked off, lost in thought about what he was to dowith his arrogant daughter.
