A sulky expression transformed her features. Which she turned to a slight frown. Even so her dissatisfaction might as well have been leaking out of her ears. That said she didn’t want her clan thinking she was useless. Or have any reason to call her out. Yes, that’s what got the warrior to stand and pad over to the only unfamiliar face in the crowd. Pure spite. She dipped her head, but refrained from touching noses. That was too much contact for her. It was a stupid tradition anyways. She assumed that this cat had touched noses with some random Shadowclan warrior before now anyways. They wouldn’t be missing out. “I’m Laurelbriar. I hope you do your best.” Her meow was just as piercing as her face. And just as blunt. She didn’t have anything against cats who crossed clans. Not that she ever would. However, it struck her as a cowards way out. Simply fleeing instead of staying and fighting for ones home. It was almost shameful. If she had had more energy she might have even lectured them on it. But she didn’t. Instead she sat down besides Maplepaw without another word.

//Thanks for confirming!
Maplepaw
There seemed to be a lot of reassignments as well as apprentice ceremonies being done, which was a little more surprising. Spending the majority of his life in ShadowClan, he never did see many reassignments... unless it was some rare occasion. The squish-faced tom was the last cat to be given a mentor. Although the ginger Persian didn't mind that, he was a little self-conscious of what his new Clanmates would think. What his new
mentor would think. The rest of WindClan didn't seem to care very much, which was just the way Maplepaw liked it. On the other paw... Laurelbriar seemed to be a little...
disgusted at the fact she got an apprentice.
The she-cat approached him before he could even begin looking, which he was grateful for, but her expressions and sharp tone reminded him a lot of Dawnstar. Not nearly as sharp or as demanding though. No one could be as stern as the ShadowClan leader.
"I... I-I will. I'll pay attention to you when we're out training, I promise!" although his soft voice was a little shaky at first, the young tom gathered his courage and said what came to mind.
Just because I'm six and a half moons old doesn't mean I'm not respectful!
He fell silent soon after his new mentor sat down next to him, assuming Laurelbriar didn't want to interrupt the meeting, though Laurelbriar was probably silent because she didn't like him...
I just hope I get on her good side soon. I don't want to be trained by a miserable ball of fur.
Badgerpaw
Now that the meeting was getting a move on, an exhale escaped his jaws. He hated to be mentioned by his Clanmates if it was to lecture him or another cat. Licking his chest out of embarrassment, the young tuxedo began paying attention to what was going on. Twistedkit, who had been a kit since he first joined WindClan, was finally becoming an apprentice and being called by her new name: Twistedpaw. She seemed a lot more nervous than the other kit who was soon to be an apprentice.
Once all the reassignments were handed out and the kits became apprentices, Badgerpaw cheered beside the rest of his Clanmates.
