Throwing a glance behind her as she leaves the camp with Pricklepaw for the first time, immediately there is a new weight on his shoulders. The apprentice of course hasn't done that to her, this is an issue that the warrior placed on his shoulders all on his own. "Pricklepaw" he begins with an awkward smile, gesturing for them to follow alongside her. Lanky limbs slowing down so that she didn't accidentally outpace them. Gaze sweeping over the form of curly long fur, attempted to be smoothed down by Pikestar assumedly. "Have you been taught to swim?" he supposed that would be the best place to start.

"You're going to no longer be fed first. So it's important that we focus on your hunting skills while the prey is scarce." The waters cold, some parts of it freeze. He supposes he could get them used to hunting on land first since that was a little more reliable. This was RiverClan though, it felt like a let down if a fish wasn't the first piece of prey that Pricklepaw caught. "For today I will show you around the territory. Then we will focus on hunting." Crescentmoon didn't want to overwhelm the new apprentice. Hopefully these steps were gradual enough for them, whiskers shiver in the cold air as they walk alongside the riverbank.

The meeting is over, yet tension still prickles at their fur. The chocolate-and-white apprentice tries to appear calm and unbothered as they pad alongside their new mentor, green eyes trained on her as she guides them through the territory. He asks whether they can swim, then goes on to emphasize the importance of learning to hunt now, while prey is difficult to catch. They won't get to eat first anymore. "Oh," they say, the thought having never occurred to them until now. They'd had an easy time as a kit, hadn't they? They hadn't needed to worry about getting enough food, or getting food at all, because they were always fed first. For Pricklekit, the prey pile had never been empty—for Pricklepaw, it seems, there will be discomfort. They straighten up, trying to shake off their newfound worries, and nod to the warrior. "'Course I can swim! I never caught a fish, though…" Not for lack of trying, though. They had swiped at quite a few minnows during their time in the nursery—but the last time they'd tried it had been a disaster. They had suddenly been hit with a wave of scent so powerful that it had immediately turned their stomach, nausea flooding their senses. The attempt had failed, of course, and Pricklepaw hadn't tried again for fear of a repeat performance. Hopefully today, they'll face no such problem.
