Whatever sort of reaction she had expected from the younger feline, absolute wonder and awe weren't high on the list at all. Grey eyes widened slightly as Crowpaw began to gush over her collection of trinkets, and a wider smile began to split across her muzzle.

"I-I love collecting things," she stated, unable to keep the delighted purr from her voice at the apprentice's enthusiasm. "I um, I'd love to see your collection too! I'm sure--well it's a bit tricky when you're an apprentice and can't go out alone, but there are LOTS of cool things out in the territory to nab."

No one else had really CARED about her affinity for collecting things except Cinderstar and her littermates, so to see this cat so enthused made her little collecting heart practically sing with joy. Brain whirring through possibilities, she almost jumped out of her nest as a delightful thought flitted through.

"If um... If you'd like, I could take you to my favorite collecting spots when its not so hot?" she suggested, fur practically vibrating in excitement. "Firefly Cove has the BEST spot for shells, and I can even teach you the best trees to find downy feathers in! Pebbles, leaves, and snail shells could be ANYWHERE out there, so we could go on a... on a treasure hunt!"

A treasure hunt. That was the most fantastic idea she'd ever had. Hopefully Crowpaw would be as enthused about the possibilities as she was; she was barely able to contain the anticipatory twitches of her tail as she thought of all the fascinating places she could show this younger cat.
