[spade]

So much going on... so many cats talking over one another, and the one common theme; they all disliked Snowypaw being there. They knew well enough when they were no longer wanted, despite it seeming as though the kits were standing up for them. It made their heart swell with warmth as amidst the the talking, their blue eyes were shining focused on little Lionkit. Easily their favorite out of the group by far, emotions changing from one second to the next. The ebb and flow of being a kit, they remembered all too well.

Despite this, Snowypaw knew it was time to bow out. There were too many cats around for their liking. "I'll see you guys later," came the soft, hesitent farewell as they backed up, ears against their head and eyes darting around. No one would likely notice their disappearance - well, aside from the kits maybe. Which, come to think of it, didn't they prefer it that way? At least, that's what they were used to.

Once so full of life and optimism and excited for training, now padding through life with dashed spirits. Perhaps they should speak to Twilightstar about a change in mentors... Oh, but what would Gulltwist think?

Now out from the throng of gathered cats, the young apprentice turned and headed away, stopping just short of the leaders' den. Should they? Twilightstar had so much going on already, and... No. They wanted to go training. They wanted to explore. Taking a big breath in, they allowed their white paws to take them in the direction of the leaders den.
