Maybe he could make her think the late fighting training was a reward or something like that. "I'm glad you're so positive, but I'm sure there'll be something you don't like later. Everyone has something they don't like," he spoke from experience. Be it their mentor's fault or their own, even cats who excelled at everything had something they didn't like.
Then the meeting continued. Name changes have always been an interesting concept to Copperfire. What could a cat do to change so much so that their name has to be changed? He called his clanmates' new names, giving them a suspicious glance: "Sootstone, Racoonmask!" Pure skill improvement can't have been the only reason for the change, could it? Nevermind that, it's not like he knew the two well enough to be impacted by such an event.
The next announcement, however, was definitely intriguing. Who would raise a claw against their clanmate? Even if they hated the other with their entire being, that doesn't excuse such violence, especially if it ends in death. The tabby tom threw a scathing glare at his ex-clanmate. He was sure others would react in similar ways. At least the other accepted his fate with dignity.

Hearing the announcement of an exile made Swanpaw somewhat uncomfortable. “Why would any of the warriors harm their own clanmate? It doesn’t make sense!”, she asked her mentor. Knowing that he had been alive for longer than her, she assumed he must’ve seen situations like the current one more than once. Hearing the chanting from the previous apprenticeship and warrior ceremonies, as well as the more recent name change, made part of her want to chant alongside them. The only reason she was silent during those times was from the
worry that she’d come off as too loud.
