[Estelle]

Mama addressed her so tenderly, so kindly. Without a word, only blue eyes looking up at her mother, she allowed herself to be gathered close to her chest for the first time in several moons. The kit was briefly unsure of what to do, before closing her eyes and leaning her head against mama's chest. Mama... She missed being with mama like this, in the nest with her, warm and cosy, just the two of them... A crease formed above her brow when the medicine cat did not allow her to join, but somehow Sleepykit did not find it within herself to contest. She only looked to the ground, equally upset that Larkfire had to let go as that she was about not being able to participate, but resigned to obediently sitting nearby as she watched her mother train the apprentice. It was curious watching these battle moves, knowing this is exactly what she'd have to learn soon - what she wanted to learn now. Almost unconsciously the little kitten got to her paws, trying to copy some of the moves until the training event was called to a close. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a particularly moody-looking apprentice - Smolderingpaw? - huffing and sitting down behind his mentor.
