Blackfeather Woods Praying to the label itself

it was a hot day, any light that managed to penetrate the thick foliage above and dapple the floor told her so anyway and the air itself felt heavy. however as much as she'd like nothing more than to find a well shaded spot and nap in the drowsy inducing weather, there were border's waiting to be patrolled. 'i felt like a nice summer's nap' wouldn't cut it if they were invaded. stifling a yawn, the pale soldier would stretch out heavy limbs and give her head a rough shake. moving would help shake off any lingering claws of sleepiness threatening to intrude, she'd just spent too much time sitting around. bertók lets out a protestant caw at her preparations to leave but still floats after her lazily as she begins her trek from the wood's center at a brisk trot.

however she doesn't make it far before a little voice finds its way to her from not too far off. frowning with surprise she skids to a halt, leaves crackling uncomfortably under-paw and as she's shaking some of the annoying debris free from her paws- she spots no other than a pup making its way towards her. a brow arches, confused as to what in earth it could want with her when the scent reached her and she remembered- oh yeah. moonshadow must've passed her promise of giving...what was it, rowan? yea that was it, some tips and maybe a lesson or two. "oh heya..rowan" please actually be rowan. "gonna presume moonshadow passed on my promise to give you a few tips in the art of mercenary?" if i'm wrong with who this is this is going to be super awkward. lips upturn slightly, attempting to soften eyes usually so eerily hollow. she just didn't know how to talk to kids, was there a special way or could you just talk to them the same way as you did with adults? but then again, she was kinda shit at that too wasn't she.

she shifts her position lightly as bertók lets out a bemused caw- the only one always able to sense her inner agitation despite it never being obvious to those she was speaking to. once she gets confirmation that she's speaking to the right pup which shouldn't take long because from the little bit she does know, they like to talk- she continues with a brisk nod. "well one thing you've got to remember is that it's not all fancy fighting moves- there's a lot of responsibility too. i was actually just about to patrol our borders- want to come along?" she was sure moonshadow wouldn't mind her taking him to the edge of the territory, she'd keep an eye on him anyway. if he agreed she'd start to walk again in the direction of the wood's edge. she could show him what it was like to patrol the borders and explain to him why it had to be done and all that as a start anyway. hopefully it'd help to some degree.
