The grey tom felt his body tightening with Maplestream’s words, felt his stomach starting to gnaw, like an open gaping wound of anxiety clawing at him from the inside. He knew he’d been harsh, perhaps too harsh with what Maplestream had clearly been through but he’d been so [i]worried.[/i] He didn’t know how to address that beyond taking a deep breath as he listened to her, body unmoving except for his tail tip, which he rested gently on her flank, trying to show her that all was well between them, that he’d simply needed her to know that as Deputy, her absence hadn’t gone unnoticed. 

[i][color=8EBDC1]Interesting…[/color][/i] 

He didn’t say anything for a moment, cast his bright light green gaze over to where the strange cats had gone before meowing in a low rumble, [b][color=8EBDC1]”they said they encountered raccoons, but if you scented them out in our territory, tell me...did you catch traces of any raccoons? Because I was out shortly before, as was Spidernose, and neither of us caught a whiff of them, but since you’d made it out farther maybe...maybe you noticed them?”[/color][/b]

Honeypaw looked up between Spidernose and Moosepaw a little apprehensively, her slim body pressed tight against Moosepaw’s large frame. He [i]claimed[/i] they were more than strong enough to handle a couple of rogues, but she’d only [i][b]just[/b][/i] been named an apprentice and while she wanted to prove herself, wanted to prove herself more than anything, even she knew that fighting a fully grown rogue would only end in tragedy for her. 

And she couldn’t let Spidernose down. 

Not so soon. 

She wanted to become the [i]best[/i] Warrior she could be. 

Moosepaw started grooming his overfluffed chest fur and without really thinking Honeypaw started grooming his side, tucking her slim paws under her and reflexively letting out a soothing purr, to comfort herself as much as the other two cats near her. 

After a few quiet moments, Honeypaw paused and shifted her efforts to grooming Spidernose’s slim flank, anxiety causing her to knead the ground a little bit despite her best efforts. 

[b][color=F19600]”Spidernose?”[/color][/b] the young tortoiseshell mewed softly. [b][color=F19600]”I don’t know what to do if it comes to a fight, but I want to try,”[/color][/b] she finished resolutely, giving her head a decisive little nod. [b][color=F19600]”What should I do? I want to fight for the Clan too. If I’m going to be your apprentice, I want to make you [i]proud.[/i]”[/color][/b]
