This was it! It was happening! She was an [b]apprentice![/b] As Moosepaw approached, she gently touched her nose to his shoulder, which was just about as high up as she could reach on the much larger apprentice. At his words, she instantly started to bristle. [color=F19600]Well, of COURSE I'm going to be a strong Warrior. Who says I need YOUR approval?![/color] but before she could reply indignantly, she realized that Moosepaw was just trying to be kind. So she dipped her head respectfully, and meowed [color=F19600]"Thank you, Moosepaw. That is very kind. I am sure we will be friends. Now if you'll excuse me, I think my mentor needs to talk to me."[/color][/center] [center]Even just getting to SAY the words 'my mentor' was very exciting to Honeypaw. She had a place in this Clan! She felt like she finally had a reason for being here. She purred a little bit, instinctively, as Spidernose touched her nose to Honeypaw's forehead. She then stepped back and listened [i]very intently[/i] as Spidernose spoke about Maplestream. She nodded, solemnly, at Spidernose's explanation about having to guard the camp. [color=F19600]"Well, I'm very ready to help guard the camp, Spidernose! Just show me how!"[/color] The small she-cat nodded her head emphatically, stood to her very small paws, and stuck her tail high in the air. She was [i]so ready[/i] to show Spidernose and Fernstar just how helpful she could be![/center] [center][h2][b][i][color=8EBDC1] Stonefall: WillowClan Territory > WillowClan Camp[/color][/i][/b][/h2][/center] [center][b]Interacting with:[/b] [@TykerS97][/center] [center]The cold snow crunched under Stonefall's paws as he brought himself closer to camp. The sleek silver and grey tabby kept his body low to the ground as he jogged, his ears pricked for any sounds of disturbance, of prey, of anything out of place. He had said he was going hunting, and so he dutifully was bringing back a mouse for the fresh-kill pile, but his journey had multiple purposes.[/center] [center]He knew Fernstar and Blackpelt were traveling to the Moonpool. And he trusted his leader to look out for both of them, without a doubt. But Stonefall's natural inclination to serve and protect had inspired him to take a quick solo patrol around the camp and the territory closest to the journey to the Moonpool, to at least make sure there was nothing extraordinarily dangerous in the nearest vicinity. He owed that much to Fernstar, since he was out hunting anyhow.[/center] [center]So Stonefall continued his sojourn back to camp from his self-assigned solo patrol. He knew Fernstar wanted cats to stay in pairs, but he had to check the surrounding area for himself before she left on her journey. As he approached the camp, he heard Fernstar calling a Clan meeting, and picked up his pace. He slipped inside camp and jogged over to the fresh-kill pile, dropping the mouse. He noticed that Honeykit, well, Honeypaw now, was being apprenticed to Spidernose, and he flicked his tail appreciatively towards Spidernose and Honeypaw. [color=8EBDC1][i]That's a good match. Trust Fernstar to always know who will match up well.[/i][/color][/center] [center]He noticed Fernstar and Duskwing talking, and spotted Moosepaw just a few feet away from where Honeypaw was chatting with Spidernose. The newly appointed Deputy padded over to Moosepaw and gently touched his nose to the large apprentice's shoulder. [color=8EBDC1]"Hey there, Moosepaw. How is training going?"[/color] Stonefall asked in his deep, light baritone voice, wrapping his long silver and black striped tail around his paws.[/center]
