The last cat Spidernose had expected Fernstar to call forward was [i]her[/i] and for a moment all the she-cat could do was sit there and blink in surprise, her dark ears shooting upwards and her tail whisking through the snow where she sat in disbelief. [i][color=f9ad81]M-Me?! Really…? Wow![/color][/i] to maintain her dignity, she sat a little straighter and tried not to look as excited as she felt, waiting for the ceremony to end, she gave Fernstar a firm nod as a way to promise she would do her best to teach her apprentice everything she needed to know about being a warrior of WillowClan. She heard Stormheart call out his congratulations and gave him a twitch of her whiskers, then turned to Duskwing as the more experienced mentor promised to help her out with pointers if she needed it. Spidernose was a little relieved by the offer, as happy as she was to have been chosen as Honeypaw’s mentor, this would be the first time she’d ever taught another cat anything and she was sure she didn’t know everything there was to know about being an apprentice’s mentor. [b][color=f9ad81]“Thank you, Duskwing. I’m grateful...I’ll definitely come to you for some pointers soon!”[/color][/b] she purred before the other she-cat got too far out of earshot.

Hearing the smaller, shuffling pawsteps of the little tortoiseshell as she skittered up to her, Spidernose too got to her paws and dipped her head downwards to touch her nose to Honeypaw’s forehead gently, like she remembered her mother telling her warriors used to do in Clans when they met their apprentice for the first time. And of course she wanted Honeypaw to feel welcome and safe with her. [b][color=f9ad81]”Hello there, Honeypaw.”[/color][/b] she purred back in a friendly tone as she drew away from the apprentice’s forehead to smile down at her. [b][color=f9ad81]“It’s very good to meet you, I’m excited for the chance to be your mentor. Now, I’m sure you heard what Fernstar said about Maplestream?”[/color][/b] 

She knew it would probably be disappointing for Honeypaw, but as warriors (and future warriors) one of their main duties was to protect and provide for their Clan and she figured this was a very good opportunity to introduce Honeypaw to that concept. [b][color=f9ad81]“Of course, with Fernstar and Blackpelt both leaving camp for that important trip, that means there’s less warriors to guard it. So tonight I’m afraid you and I will have to do that job, but I promise first thing at sunrise tomorrow morning I will take you out into the territory to show you around, okay?”[/color][/b]
