➸ sagekit | they/he/she

sagekit stood there, waiting for the moment that aspenstar would announce their mentor - the moment that they'd finally be an apprentice and not some embarrassingly old kit. but, the moment never came. they looked away from aspenstar who stood idly, glancing at the two other kits beside them who were also waiting eagerly to get their names. claws dug into the dirt nervously, sheathing and unsheathing repeatedly as a way to self soothe.

spiderthroats words made him look down, although he agreed, he stayed silent. maybe aspenstar was just thinking of a mentor to give them? maybe she was going to change their names like lotuspaw, and a few others, and was thinking of what she would rename the three kits. they breathed, then breathed out, feeling their mouth tug downwards in a frown when they heard dogbark telling them all to go back to the nursery.

swiftkit was the first to speak about it, and they forced the frown into a straight line while she was talking. she turned around, looking at the nursery furrowed brows and blinking a few quick times before he turned his attention to the deputy. "wi-with all due respect..you're joking, right..?" he dryly asked, head tilting slightly. if spiderthroat could be quiet, that'd be wonderful - not that they disagreed with him, but they were already beginning to stress out over this all.

"you can't just go up there and give us our names and mentors..? if the leader cant do it, shouldn't you step up as deputy and take matters into your own paws?" they knew that they didn't want to wait any longer to become an apprentice, and they were sure that pondkit and swiftkit felt the same.
