Her gaze lingered over the cats chanting their names, a caterwaul of joy in the air. She ducked her head under the looks of so many cats. Still, it was refreshing after the despondent air of loss and grief after the battle.

She glanced at Moonpaw as the dark-furred cat stepped forward. She mentioned she didn't have a mentor — must be getting a new one! She flashed Moonpaw a smile of encouragement, happy for the nice cat she just met. Now that she was an apprentice, maybe they'd train together?

But Moonpaw's a little older... maybe not...

...Mistyshard. That's who Birdsnow had said for Berrypaw's mentor, yes? The newly-named apprentice shuffled her paws as she looked around, waiting to see if the warrior would approach her. She didn't really talk to many cats — would the mentor even know who she was? She suddenly felt small and insignificant as mentors walked out to meet their apprentices, a stark contrast to the boost of confidence from hearing all the cats cheering her name moments before.

With a heavy sigh the molly sat in front of the Floodstone, she looked around as her orange eyes landed on Berrypaw once more. Seeing the younger molly's smile made her feel…less pathetic so only thing she could do was smile right back, though in the end Berrypaw would get her final name before her, something to look forward to before her…have cats that actually stayed and cared for her.

Moonpaw looked back at Birdsnow as her tail curled around her fluffy paws, she wanted, no, she still wants those things but…her hurts too much to think about that right now.
