Hehehe Mudhound was having a blast watching the pebble being passed around from cat to cat all under the obvious eye of the high ranks. Wait no Springpaw saw it but didnt seem inclined to stop their little game so they were in the clear! For now.... Hehe. Oooh! Pebblepaw had the pebble! Mudhound was downright vibrating in place waiting for the molly to throw the stone to another cat excited for a friend to join in the fun.
The tripod hadnt really been listening to the announcements beyond a brief flash of joy for the apprentices sake and the brief shock at the sheer amount of them, wow, for kinda a good reason. See the maine coon mix really wasnt expecting to get their own apprentice. Sure they'd been back for a bit and been in a battle but it was only really two moons and Mudhound didnt really know all of clan life just yet. They could hunt but had never been on a hunting patrol and fight but didnt know thunderclan specific moves, plus the finer details one would need to teach to an apprentice escaped them. So why would Bumble-sis give them an apprentice? It was just stupidity- whoops Bumblestar just gave them an apprentice.
Uh uh uh what do from here??? Which one was Lotuspaw? With the new apprentices swarming the warrior couldnt really tell which was now theirs and surreptitiously took the moment to scan the area and figure out what exactly they were supposed to do now. Ok so say hi and touch noses? That was ok Mudhound could do that! And some offered a territory tour or a hunting lesson which Mudhound could also do! Manageable so far! And the newly named apprentice had shown up things were really going great!
"Heya Lotuspaw! Congratulations!" The warrior beamed leaning down way down to wrap a paw around the huggy apprentice in turn and happily rub their face all over the younger cat. Muddys apprentice now, cheek rubs meant theirs it was the law.
"Its nice to meet you to! Im excited to be your mentor this is gonna be great!" Yeah Mudhound was not letting go of Lotuspaw simply shifting them into a more comfortable position while keeping her partially squashed. Hugs with the tripod were always a risk like that.
"We're gonna have so much fun after the meeting we can do a territory tour or hunting or something! Your choice on the first outing! Itll be great you can go out now and see everything!"
