"Eagleburn?"

Head rising from his mossy bed, Eagleburn pricked his ears towards the sound of a voice he recognized. His ears twitched, feeling sorry for but a moment, though he concealed it well as he rose to his paws and sat.

"Leopardpaw?"

The young tom-cat nodded, and remembering himself, quickly said, "Yes, it's me. I'm here to bring you your prey."

It was difficult to determine the time of day that it was within the medicine cats' den. While he could still see light and vague shapes, here in the den, it was all dark. There was no morning sun to signal when to wake up, nor falling darkness to inform him of when it was time to retire. It was Beewatcher who kept the time for him, letting him know that it had been three days since his temporary imprisonment.

The only times he was allowed to feel the sun on his fur or to walk under the moonlight was when he was taken to the dirtplace.

Had he known he would be treated thoroughly like a prisoner, he may have reconsidered his route of eliminating Bayspots.

"Thank you, Leopardpaw. I know this is hard on you."

The apprentice stepped forward, picking up the thrush he had put down, and carrying it to Eagleburn. He had been next in line to receive his warrior's name until everything had fallen apart.

"Not as hard it is for you," sorrowfully Leopardpaw said as he placed the thrush close to Eagleburn, sitting down. "I believe you're innocent. You defended yourself."

For a beat, Eagleburn felt pity for his apprentice. He was warrior-aged, primed and ready to step into the pawsteps of his ancestors, but he was still naive. He looked at his mentor with the hope that he was nothing more than an innocent bystander in a crime that he hadn't wanted to commit, but his paw had been forced to do so. Eagleburn envied him. He recognized much of himself in the young tom.

"Leopardpaw."

"Yes?"

By the shuffling of moss and scrabble of claws on hard dirt, Eagleburn could tell that Leopardpaw had stood to attention. Internally, Eagleburn smiled.

"Tell Beewatcher to ask Oatstar to perform your warrior ceremony without me."

Leopardpaw's shock was palpable as a mortified gasp escaped the young apprentice before he could stop it.

"But--"

"No but's. You were supposed to get a ceremony before the full moon, and you deserve to stay on track. You can do it without me in exchange for one promise."

"Of course--anything, Eagleburn."

Eagleburn's whiskers twitched in amusement at how eager his apprentice was to please him. His first apprentice, and potentially his last. Would any other cat be as fine a tom as Leopardpaw under his tutelege?

"Come and tell me all about it. I want to hear your new warrior name from you the moment your vigil is over with."

Leopardpaw was quiet for a moment, and for a second, Eagleburn wondered if he was going to reject his offer.

"I'll come running the moment the vigil is done," he finally said, and Eagleburn purred in contentment. Stretching out his neck, Leopardpaw took the invitation to step closer, bumping cheeks together while Eagleburn gave him an affectionate lick over the ears. The young apprentice felt much like a sibling to him, and while he was loathe to disappoint him like this, there were bigger things at play.

"Okay, go on then."

Eagleburn gave Leopardpaw a gentle headbutt, nudging him back towards the mouth of the den.

"Go talk to Beewatcher, my little warrior."

Leopardpaw laughed, and while he could not see it, Eagleburn felt his warm smile on his fur.

"... I'll come back soon, Eagleburn."

Nodding, he listened to the sound of his retreating pawsteps, and slowly, he curled into himself, disinterested in the thrush brought.

An empty belly helped keep his head clear.

WC designs and the dogs they are based off of

[cupidscatdesigns]

Leopardfoot | Black & white with ghost spotted tabby markings

silhouette behind her is Bluestar for size reference

i couldn't make her buff so i made her tall. she's not as tall as her son but is a giant among her siblings

shares lots of facial features with Tigerstar; ears, brows, muzzle

big facial features like Spottedleaf

thigh spot is the same as Spottedleaf's, just without the red

white paw is to make sense of her -foot suffix. it has the bonus of making her look like Scourge, which probably has some symbolism in there somewhere

same eye shape as Redtail
