The daisy bounced in Roosterflame’s mouth as he padded to the threshold of Cindystar’s den. He took a deep breath, hoping he wasn’t disturbing her or anything.
“Cinderstar?” He called, careful to use her real name and not his mental nickname for her, “May I come in?”
He waited a moment before entering, his paws buzzing with a sense that he shouldn’t be here, in the sacred ground of the leaders of the clowder. He carefully dropped the daisy on the ground in front of his leader, dipping his head respectfully,
“I came to apologize for being tardy to the meeting today. I didn’t mean to be late, but the wind was singing so beautifully through the leaves and the butterflies were dancing so well… I lost track of time, and before I knew it, I was dashing through the forest, daisy in hand, to try not to be too late to such an important gathering,” He explained, shuffling his paws on the ground, his ears flattened against his skull, “My deepest apologies, Cinderstar, I assure you it won’t happen again…”
The young warrior pushed the daisy towards the leader, his eyes cast downwards slightly,
“When Dogbark let me into ThunderClan, I promised him I would devote my heart to this clowder, but now I’ve gone and missed a clan meeting. To you it may not be a big deal, but to me it’s problematic, you know?”
Roosterflame then went silent, wondering what the leader would have to say in regards to his lateness.
