Stonepaw

It had been a bit since he'd entered the apprentices' den. He didn't have a reason to go in there, he didn't have any friends within it. There was no reason to venture within when he could find everything he needed outside. Still, an occasional check in just to see who was inside was in order. He was getting used to the fact that he couldn't keep calling everyone by nicknames. He actually had to know their real names and that was difficult if he wasn't caught up on the missing and returned.

It had taken him a moment to realize what it meant to go 'missing.' It meant you were gone, left your family, and didn't return. Dead or alive, they were missing. Antkit was missing, maybe Dad too. Sometimes they came back, but sometimes they didn't. It was just him and Bri now, and he didn't quite know if she was mad at him or not. Regardless, she had Silversnow and Lilycreek, just in case she needed to chat with someone. He had decided he did like the disappearances and returns. Too many new names, not enough old faces.

"Who are you?." Normally good humor was pushed aside by surprise. He hadn't expected to see someone new. That had been the point of the trip to the apprentices den, but still, he honestly hadn't expected to see someone new. Still, this was his skill, making friends, so he'd do his join, accomplish his goal. Even if the start hadn't been so great. "Sorry 'bout that. I'm Stonepaw by the way!"
