    _{Rabbitwhisker was pacing around the warriors den his ears flattened in aggravation as he watched she-cat walked by he gave a snort. He despised them since Sweetrose broke his heart into two he wasn't the same ever since but he knew it was his fault but he hoped another tom would accompnay him for some hunting action, but if it was a she-cat he would get over it after all beggers can't be choosers. So instead of pacing he sat on his haunches and began to clean his gray fur as he waited. The gray tom enjoyed keeping himself clean it kept his mind off of things that bothered him even if it was for a little while. Since Sweetrose he doesn't think he would want a mate ever again after all it would just end in heartbreak. As he cleaned himself he could feel a breeze russle his fur and gave a shudder it was quiet chilly at night but he decided to get over it. He's a warrior after all.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker stopped grooming for a bit and turned his gaze to the apprentice den, his ears drooped and he headed over his paws on the soft grass and he headed in. His gaze on Cinderpaw his whiskers twitchd gently. "Hey there kiddo, wanna go battle training or hunting today? It's your choice," he mewed he liked Cinderpaw she was different. He honestly wanted to get over his bias towards she-cats but his heartached with the memories and he felt horriable if his bias turnd towards Cinderpaw. "I'll wait for you outside," he said as he backed out, he was fighting against every negative word and comment. She's just an apprentic. He thought bitterly towards himself he made himself this way and he doesn't even know how to handle it. He needed someone to talk to and maybe Cinderpaw can help in a way just by listening he wasn't able to talk to anyone about his relationships and his pain.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker gave a slight chuckle at his apprentice she should've been a warrior by now and thought it was un-fair to her. He gave what they should do and was stumped, but then his whiskers twitched. "How about this we do some battle training and maybe some hunting if we have time," he said with a purr and then he felt horriable again. "Hey Cinderpaw I'm sorry it's taking so long for you to become a warrior, if you want I could talk to Branchstar to see what we can do," he said he felt so defeated he wanted his apprentice to be succesful and boy was she making him feel better. "Hey maybe if we show Branchstar how far along you are maybe he would do it soon," he said rubbing his head against hers. He was so proud of her and counted her as a daughter he felt like he could talk to her about anything and she would stay right beside him.}

    _{The gray warrior looked at Cinderpaw and his whiskers twitched with sadness and his ears drooped. "That doesn't mean it should've taken this long," he mewed. His ears perked up at hearing what his apprentice was saying and it wounded him. "Cinderpaw yes of course you're ready to be a warrior, you've worked so hard to come this far," she he said nuzzle her cheek. Pride was beaming in his icy blue eyes and he couldn't be more proud than he already was.He didn't understand why Branchstar just didn't give her the title after all she deserved it more than ever now.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker gave a light chuckle and his eyes had shown some mischeif. "You're on Cinderpaw," he mewed and he scented a squrrial he purred in delight and saw it perched onto a branch it's back turned towards him. He lept onto the tree digging his claws onto the trunk as he climbed up the tree and looked at the fuzzy brown creature. He waited for a bit before leaping onto the branch and grabbing it by the neck it squirmed and clawed at his face but he threw it onto the ground since it kept scratching him. It landed not so gracefully and it was in pain Rabbitwhisker then jumped from the tree and went over to the squrriel and gave it the death bite to give mercy to it. "Sorry little one, didn't mean to do that."}

    _{Rabbitwhisker looked around the forest the scent of mouse caught his scent glands he scented it near a bush. He got onto his four paws arching his back and his belly almost touching the ground his tail flickered and he pounced into the bush and grabbed the mouse around the neck and ploped it right next to the squrrel. He purred victoriously for a bit and wodnered where his apprentice ran off too. He went around to look for her to make sure she was alright. He didn't want her hurt that's for sure. "Cinderpaw?" he called for his apprentice to see if she would answer.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker heard his apprentice and followed her scent. His ears perked when he saw her and gave a sigh in relief. "You worried me there kiddo," he said chuckling a bit. He saw his apprentice not happy her body language and the look in her eyes gave it away. "Hey what's wrong?" he asked her, he didn't know what happened and hoped it something he could probably reassure her on. He laid in front of her and gave a warm hearted look in his eyes. "You can talk to me about anything, and how about we take a break I rather for you to be happy than miserable," he said his whiskers twitching with sympathy. He looked around the forest and his tail was flickering around nervously. He wondered what to do and what to say he wanted her to feel important.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker noticed the the forced purr but decided not to pry. If she didn't want to talk to him about what's bugging her, than she doesn't have too. "Alright Cinderpaw just know I'm here for ya," he mewed happily his ears flicked as he heard birds above him and a devious plan unfolded in his head. "How about he play a little bird game?" he asked with a slight purr he wanted to try and cheer up his apprentice and didn't want to feel like he failed as a mentor at the same time. At times he felt like the reason why she was still an apprentice was because of him and him not able to deal with his bitterness towards Sweetrose.}

    _{Rabbitwhisker's twitched his whiskers with nervousness and than gave a slight chuckle. He looked over at Cinderpaw and gave a sigh. "It's hunting game to make a bit more fun, it's something that I used to do when I was a apprentice," he said his tone became warm and happy and he flicked his ear around. He looked behind him at Cinderpaw and twitched his nose for it had an itch before sneezing. "What you say? It'll probably help even if it's just a little bit," he said.}
