[center][b]Interacting with:[/b] [@PrankFox]
Moosepaw took comfort in Duskwing's words. As he listened, he had to admit he did feel a bit better. Her compliments caused him some embarrassment, and he lowered his head and ears in response. Moosepaw was still worried of course, but he wasn't as keen on hiding away tomorrow. The apprentice was grateful that he had such a fierce and competent mentor; she always offered praise when he did well, and helped him improve when he was seen to be lacking. The rare smile comforted him too, and again he felt a tad embarrassed.

Her suggestion that he get ample sleep seemed like a lot to ask. Moosepaw found the idea of sleeping an insurmountable task, he was almost sure he would just stare at the top of the den or clean himself nervously all night. Regardless Moosepaw nodded dutifully, knowing that if he didn't start trying to sleep soon, he would be awake in his nest all the longer.

He stood slowly and stretched out his stiff back legs before heading to the apprentice den to sleep. It seemed strange to him that this might be the last night he spends in the apprentice den.
