Amberpaw slowly padded up to Beansprout. She refused to get her hopes up yet again.
"Hi? I'm Amberpaw. Don't worry, I hopefully won't be an apprentice for too long. And I've had......... Starclan, it might as well literally be ten other mentors who disappeared. So there's no expectations. You won't have to do anything."
She nodded to Robinpaw. "Hopefully you have good luck. I mean, I'm not sure if us training for long together would be good or bad considering the timing, and I haven't had the best time with other apprentices, so I'll try not to be distant. But still, good luck!"
Odd as it seemed, she delivered her speech quickly and quietly, ending it with a forced chuckle. She wouldn't be rude, she couldn't. Then she'd be completely making sure she was the reason no one stuck around. And she couldn't take that. But she was so done hoping for friends or clanmates at all who stuck around.
