Tenebrouspaw is not the easiest apprentice. She can attest to the idea that she can be difficult sometimes. But she's not amoral or cruel - she's just... hot headed! And struggles with listening when the commands aren't conducive to her train of thought. Maybe there's a realm where she could take a deep breath and put more faith into Trembletuft. But that realm isn't this one and, in fact, the days bleed on where every ounce of trust and understanding she has ever given him has long since been drained. She runs on fumes at best and this moment - this inconsequential moment... is the final straw.
"No," she argues, and her voice pitches, rising in volume. Owlbark had just finished doling out patrols, and she made sure to attend the mass to listen to where her mentor would be sent. Almost immediately after the deputy sent them away, the tom finds her and says, "You're staying here." She was supposed to help patrol the SkyClan border! The by far most dangerous one yet! Comparatively, more injuries have happened there than... well, anywhere else. And it's not like Trembletuft seats her for her safety. She sees it in his eyes; he simply doesn't want the hassle that is her.
And so, she declines. And her dissent is only the start of a momentous explosion.
"No - you can't - you haven't taken me to the border in over a moon, Trembletuft!" She barks, claws digging into the cold soil beneath them. She thinks if she's allowed off of her leash, she may very well claw his face off. "You've not taken me out more than a pawful of times! Tenebrouspaw, clean the nursery. Tenebrouspaw, change out the nests. Tenebrouspaw, weed out the bad prey. You sent me out on a patrol with the fledgling apprentices where I had to relearn landmarks - landmarks! Trembletuft, I could chart this entire plot of land into your pelt if I wanted to!" The tortoiseshell apprentice gains on her mentor in a continued threatening matter, but all four paws remain on the ground.
"I'm tired of this! You'll have me cleaning out the dirt place until I'm older than the elders. I'll be Tenebrouspaw until I'm wheezing dust. StarClan - I hate you! I wish you would just die!"
