Pantherpaw shivered. While the sun was finally poking its head out of the clouds, there was still snow on the ground. Being a kit in leaf-bare had been rough, even with her black pelt. As she came trotting from the apprentice's den, looking around expectantly for her mentor, Minnowflash, she spotted instead her sister, Wasppaw.
"Wasppaw!" She mewed and ran forward, skidding to a halt just in front of her sister, so she didn't barrel into her. "Hello! How're you?" She blurted out, before she shivered. "Ugh, I hate leaf-bare! No prey, no warmth!" She glared up at the sun through the sky. "And even though I can see the sun-ow." She quickly looked down and blinked rapidly. Maybe she shouldn't have stared at the sun. "Even though it's out, I still feel cold!" She grumbled.
"I can't wait for new-leaf! Minnowflash says new-leaf will be full of greenery and the snow will melt so more prey will return!" She grinned at her sister. "I can hardly wait! So, what're you waiting around for? Your mentor? Who did you get assigned again?" She chattered on, barely pausing for breath. "I can't keep track of mentors very well. I know that Spiderpaw got lucky and got Darktail, ugh, I'm so jealous. You probably got a strong mentor too, right? I got Minnowflash." She rolled her eyes. "Lame, right?" She finally took a breath and let it out in an exasperated sigh. "Do you like your mentor, whoever they are?" She asked curiously.
magnadearel It's still leaf-bare/winter IC, so I tried to incooperate that into what descriptions you gave. Hope that's okay! sweatdrop

Pantherpaw let out a long, exasperated sigh when her sister revealed that she had gotten Talonfang. Had all of her siblings gotten a cool mentor except for her? This had to be some sort of test Shadowstar put her on, she reasoned. She had to see how Pantherpaw would work around her mentor and still come out an excellent and dedicated warrior, despite Minnowflash, who was holding her back from her true potential. After all, who really needed to know how to fish? No, fighting was a warrior's true calling! And Pantherpaw was ready to rise to it!
"Of course you got another good mentor." She replied and then stared hard at Wasppaw at her follow-up question. "Are you kidding? Darktail is like, a super strong warrior! Everyone in RiverClan knows that! Probably everyone in ForestClan! I went on a training session with him and Spiderpaw and he knew exactly how to train an apprentice, with a routine and everything! Spiderpaw's gonna become a warrior the fastest out of all of us, I bet, since he's her mentor."
"It's not that I don't get along with Minnowflash." She shook her head. "I mean, he's friendly enough, but he's so... Minnowflash." She sighed again. "Honestly he feels more like another apprentice than a warrior. Most of the time I feel like I'm doing all the work, getting him up to go train, telling him how to train me and having to be the one to take charge all the time." She shook her head. "I don't mind being given the choice to make up my own mind, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do everything. That said, I feel like if he ever did take charge, we'd just end up fishing for the whole day. Uuuugh." She rubbed a paw across her muzzle and rolled her eyes.
"Buuut, you know." Pantherpaw mewed suddenly, her eyes darting around the camp. "Neither of our mentors are here right now. Wanna go out into the territory ourselves?" She suggested eagerly.

Pantherpaw let out a sigh, her expression longing. "I wonder if Darktail would go for something like that." She mewed. "But it took so long to get him to agree to train me with Spiderpaw... Still... maybe if it was just him and me..." She curled her tail in delight. "Maybe I'll try it. No, I will try it! Thanks for the idea, Wasppaw!"
She laughed a little at her sister's next suggestion and shook her head. "I don't think that will work. Minnowflash isn't the type to punish my behavior. He's never even raised his voice at me before. He stutters sometimes though. That's sort of like the opposite of raising his mew, heh."
"Ew, he makes you fish too? Fishing is awful!" She agreed. "Minnowflash is, like, all about fishing." She flattened her ears; rolled her eyes in exasperation. "I wish someone would've told him that just because he's named after a fish, doesn't mean he has to be obsessed with them." She scoffed, before perking her ears.
"Yeah, a border patrol!" She agreed. "I've been on a few with Minnowflash. They're always so cool! Even though if nothing really exciting happens." She shrugged. "Maybe we'll get lucky and have something exciting happen on ours!" She looked around and shrugged. "I don't think we have to bother anyone with the fact that we're leaving. Besides, we won't be too long." She mewed with a twinkle in her eye. "Come on, let's go!" She mewed and darted towards the Clan entrance.

Pantherpaw grinned at her sister's offer and nodded excitedly. "Yeah! Please do! I would love to train with you! And maybe Talonfang can convince Minnowflash to actually act like a mentor for a change!" She agreed with a wide smile.
Then, they were out in the territory. She had to prevent herself from letting out a whoop of excitement. With a powerful jump, she tried to clear the river in one leap, but ended up splashing down into it instead. Her whoop of would-be excitement turned to one of shock and she quickly followed her sister out onto the land.
"O-one of these days!" She stammered to her sister. "One-one of these days I'll be able to jump over that whole thing! And Shadowstar will see and make me her deputy right away! Or the new leader, right like that on the spot!" She declared as she shook out her pelt, turning her into a cold, black puffball. "A-Anyway, let's go on. A little water never hurt anyone, right?" She mewed. "And hey, if we smell any prey-scent, we can catch it and eat it, cause we're doing a border patrol instead of a hunting one!" She added. "Which is good, cause I'm hungry!" Maybe she should've remembered to eat before she left... Oh well. It was time to put food on hold and enjoy her patrol!
