they were sagepaw, finally, after what seemed like forever. although, unofficially, which was made clear by dogbark as he declared their new name. though it'd feel much better to officially be named an apprentice, it was better than staying a kit any longer. and aspenstar wasn't going to do it, so they were fine with it for now.

"thank you," they mewed with a slight nod, but figured that he probably wasn't heard since dogbark had to turn to spiderthroat again. he glanced at swiftkit again, silently judging her choice, then to pondkit..or, where she used to be standing. she was gone. well, that wasn't his problem. noticing that things were starting to get chaotic again, sagepaw slipped away in the direction of the apprentices den, sending a small grin sundust's way so he'd know that they heard his words.

just as he was about to enter the apprentices den, aspenstar spoke - officially giving them their name and mentor. mallardstep. he turned slightly, looking around the crowd, and learned that he didn't need to look hard considering the warrior was staring at him with his jaw dropped. they looked back to the den before fully turning and padding over to mallardstep. "i'd like to start training as soon as possible..if that's okay."

➸ cornpaw | he/him

lynxfuzz thought he was funny!! wait, that was bad! he wasn't supposed to be seen as funny by lynxfuzz! he was funny, but he didn't want to hear that from mean lynxfuzz! his long tail twitched, nose scrunching up briefly. the toms advice was heard by cornpaw for sure, but it seemed that he was interpreting it as some insult.
he stuck his tongue out, "well, maybe i WANT a scar or two, uglyfuzz! have you ever thought about that?" he responded tartly, feeling that it was the best way to reply.

cornpaw almost laughed when dogbark started snapping at lynxfuzz, but then.. spiderthroat spoke. he was eager to hear a response to his own words. his own very smart sounding words that were inspired by the coolest cat ever. and. they. were. ignored?!?! spiderthroat was EVIL. evil!! the apprentice stuck out his tongue at the warrior before turning his attention to aspenstar momentarily when she finally decided to speak. apprentices, mentors - blah, blah, blah, he didn't care that much.

he looked over to swiftpaw, who'd been assigned larkstorm as a mentor and grinned before skipping his way over to her. "larkstorms my mentor too!! so maybe, MAYBE, we'll train together. you should try and help me hunt a huge fox!" he meowed, nodding slightly before deciding to take his leave. this meeting had been a mess.

~Mallardstep~

The black tom snapped his muzzle shut as Sagepaw approached him. He looked down that the apprentice for a heartbeat. Now? Really? After this meeting? Great their one of those types. He got to his paws and stretched. I’ve been sitting in one place for far too long. He turned back to Sagepaw.

“You sure you don’t want to settle into the apprentice den first? Don’t you want a nice nest to crawl into after we’re done?” Mallardstep flicked his tail. He really just wanted to stall for awhile. Starclan knows he needed a little nap after all the stupidity he just witnessed, and all the worrying he had done.
