He did, however, put more effort into congratulating Brackenfire for earning their warrior name while also receiving praise from Dawnstar, even if it was miniscule.
"Brackenfire!" His cheer fell a bit flat, but it rang out more than his congratulations for Shadestorm had.

Cloudpaw twitched his nose and sat heavily on the ground as Dawnstar announced she would be taking a small journey with a group of her clanmates and wasn't surprised that Poisonpetal was among the number called to join her. Whatever, he'd still make sure the warrior heard about it.
As much as he disliked him.

He felt a pang of hurt as Sleetkit was passed up to being given an apprentice ceremony. It wasn't entirely unfair, he supposed, he'd still be made an apprentice next time, but he would still be missing important opportunities to train. Maybe if he learned enough from his mentor he could try to teach Sleetkit.
He wiggles up beside his brother.
"Hey, don't worry. If you want I can teach you so you don't fall behind."
It was more effort than he'd put forward for any other cat, but he'd do it for any of his siblings and no one else.
@-Ash-
Sleetkit sucked in a sharp breath, slowly backing away into the crowd, where he found himself right next to Cloudkit. Cloudpaw, he reminded himself. Tears pricked at the kit's eyes as he turned to face his brother. Sure, maybe it was an overreaction; afterall, he would become an apprentice next meeting. But still. Now his siblings would get to train more than him, and no matter how hard he trained, they would be warriors before him as well.

"Yeah sure. Or you'll be too busy with your fancy apprentice stuff going on." Hurt pierced his heart at the thought. His siblings moving on in their lives without him. If he hadn't taken that stupid nap, he would've been an apprentice... And now he didn't even have any friends in the nursery anymore. Tail drooping between his legs, he padded back off to the nursery, still a kit.
