The meeting ends, and Warpath is left with a brand-new apprentice and a solid idea on how to effectively train a younger cat for the tasks required of a warrior. It shouldn't be too difficult, as there isn't much of a difference between teaching skills to another adult and training a youngster to step into the role of a warrior; still, there's a slightly nervous prickle down his spine that says just how much is on the line. He's not just a mentor now, but a protector. No harm can come to Frecklepaw in his care, and he'll be sure of it—he hopes. "Alright, kid, let's go start your training," he huffs as he turns to lead his new apprentice outside of camp. Shoulders roll beneath cinnamon fur as the tom pads through the camp's entrance, glancing back to ensure that Frecklepaw is following.
Once they've made it a good distance from camp, the ranger speaks up again to give Frecklepaw an outline for their trek into the territory. "We're visiting the Owl Tree first, then continue past it to the ShadowClan border. After that, if you're up to it, we'll circle back to the RiverClan border and Sunningrocks. Owl Tree isn't far, so we're about there already. Some say it's got an entire family of perks living up in its branches—think it's worth testing?" Good-naturedly, he grins at the younger ThunderClanner. It's in jest, of course; he wouldn't risk taking Frecklepaw too close if he believed the supposed owls dwelling there were dangerous. The tree comes into view, towering high above, its top nigh unreachable by even the most competent of climbers, and much less by Warpath. He may be willing to take risks, but he's much more comfortable with all four paws on the ground. So instead of doing something reckless like challenging the apprentice to a lighthearted race to a branch, he jerks his chin to the tree's boughs and asks, "See anything?"
