Hawkblood smiled at Emberstar's sarcastic response. Emberstar was quite the joker. Hawkblood nodded when she said yes, but the "featherbrain" insult hit a little close to home, although it was a commonly used generic insult. Hawkblood shook the thought away.
"If you deem so, yes, Emberstar. I would gladly take an apprentice. Oh! It also might not be a bad idea to give Sparkpelt an apprentice as well. He hasn't had an apprentice for a few seasons."
Inwardly Hawkblood grinned. Although he was the deputy, he only ever had one apprentice at the start of his warriorship, and that was Sparkpelt. Sparkpelt became a wrrior only a moon later, he quickly picked up most strategies and attacks, and was quite knowledgable. Hawkblood hadn't had an apprentice since then, so he was eager for the opportunity.
