[center][b]Interacting with:[/b] [@PrankFox]

The apprentice’s mind was an absolute buzz, and he found that he was trembling. He tried to force himself to stay still, but concentrating on it seemed to make it worse. This was what he’d been training for over the past 5 moons. Yet still the change seemed too soon. Was he ready? DId every apprentice feel this unprepared on the eve of their assessment? If so, how did anyone become a warrior? Even the majestic Fernstar was an apprentice once, right? That seemed wrong. The leaders, deputies, even warriors were far too confident now to have been as unsure of themselves as Moosepaw currently felt.

Moosepaw wasn’t normally one to get stuck in his own head, but even so he found himself lost in thought staring up at Fernstar. Fernstar moved off of the Highstump, but Moosepaw’s eyes remained fixed on that spot. Eventually he was snapped out of his stupor by the touch of Duskwing’s tail. His mentor sat beside him, looking composed and graceful. The contrast between the two of them stripped Moosepaw of a little more of his hope that he’d pass the assessment. He paused at her question, and his troubled eyes were cast towards the ground once again.
