It was not uncommon, after her duties had been dealt with and her patrols assigned, for Hazelclaw to talk walks on her own throughout the territory. Of course, they were never simple strolls- frequently she would hunt, or double check the borders, something, anything productive to keep her paws busy. And while she appreciated the quietness of these walks, on occasion, she would invite someone to join her. Her choices were very select, a small group of individuals that she got along with beyond a simple working relationship, cats she could converse easily with.
Surprisingly- or perhaps not- the one she most often called upon to join her was her current apprentice, Plumpaw.
She flicked her tail absent-mindedly as they walked a few foxlengths or so from the Thunderpath, loamy soil cool and soft underneath her paws. Hazelclaw wasn’t particularly concerned with ShadowClan at the moment- they had their own problems to deal with, and RiverClan posed more of a threat at the moment, she felt- and while she was aware of the border, she wasn’t on high-alert either.
A breeze rustled the branches of the trees overhead; so far the only notable noise on their walk. Even the Thunderpath had been quiet, devoid of its usual monsters. Hazelclaw briefly glanced over her shoulder at Plumpaw. Not a ‘paw for long, though, she mused, a small smile appearing on her face. Even though the deputy enjoyed training apprentices, the tom had been a particular delight. Certainly less of a pawful than Greynose had been.
“You did well on your assessment,” she said in an even, relaxed tone, breaking the momentary silence. “I imagine Falconstar will have your ceremony soon.”
skyy and her socks with Plumpaw~
A bit on the shorter side, but here you go! I imagine this taking place maybe a day or two after his assessment, but before his warrior ceremony, if that's okay!
