No. She won't embarrass herself in front of her leader in front of everyone . She held her head high but not higher then grousestars her fur was shiny and well kept for this moment . She did naturally clean her fur but this time she took extra care . Cardinalpaw padded forward with her tail in the air swaying gently . I wonder what my warrior name is gonna be! Oh this is so exciting ! I hope my mentor is proud of me! some pride glowed from cardinalpaw once she made it up to the skyboulder her brown eyes looking up at her leader .

It didn't take long for the brown tabby to spot the she-cat as she stood from her original sitting position. Without any further hesitation or distractions, he would happily continue her ceremony, angling his head towards the canopy and the sky beyond it.
"I, Grousestar, leader of Skyclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Cardinalpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Naturally he would pause long enough to give the young molly enough time to respond with the appropriate 'I do', before continuing on to grant her her warrior name.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Cardinalpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Cardinalcry. StarClan honors your respect and bravery, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Skyclan."
Giving the clan long enough time to cheer the new warriors name to Starclan itself, he would then bring the clan meeting to a close.
"That will conclude this clan meeting!" And with that, Grousestar leaped from the boulder and disappeared into the crowd, perhaps heading for the territory to go back to his own pondering.
