just out [flamepaw&briartail] for a stroll

[glowlynose]

Briartail cast a short glance at his apprentice. Why was she breathing so hard? It was like she'd run around the whole territory trying to catch up with him when he was situated barely outside the camp entrance. She looked so funny panting next to him that he let out an involuntary chuckle. The chuckle expanded into a purr, and it did not take very long from there for him to end up rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter.

"I, ohh haha, I'm s- sorry,"

[/b] the tom managed to gasp out in between spurts of laughter. He knew that he shouldn't be laughing at his apprentice. She was, after all, an apprentice and less skilled than he was. The situation was just too much for him to take for some reason.

"I'm sorry, Flamepaw. That was rude o' me."[/b] Briartail smiled at Flamepaw easily, though a fear flickered in his eyes for a heartbeat. What if she thought he was rude or mean? That would just ruin his entire day! He didn't want to be mean like his dad had been to him. "So, whaddya wanta do now? There's lots o' places to explore 'n' the like. Lead the way, miss."[/b]

Briartail stepped back so that Flamepaw was situated in the leading position. Now she could go wherever she wanted to within reason. If she wanted to explore another clan's territory, for example, he'd have to put a stop to that. As long as he knew where they were going it was fine with him to let her lead. She'd need some experience leading cats incase she ever led a patrol when she became a warrior.
