(And Woodpaw)

Dreampaw blinked. The echoes of voices lingered in his ears. It took him a moment to recall what was happening. Oh, meeting! He scrambled out of his nest and over to the entrance of the den, though he didn't go through, as there was someone standing in the way. They were quite skinny, but standing right in the centre, so he couldn't squeeze past. Dreampaw sat down behind them and tried to peer over their shoulder into the clearing. Nope, he couldn't see properly! He got up and moved closer, accidentally brushing his whiskers on the cat's tail. The cat squeaked and started forward. "Sorry, I was just trying to see," Dreampaw mewed. Woodpaw looked back at the tom. "S-Sor," he mewed, "Yu shu-da sai," he stuttered, words barely comprehendable. "It is OK," Dreampaw replied, then brushed out into what seemed to be a very loud meeting. It hurt his poor ears, especially Bumblestar's shouting. The light-brown apprentice rubbed an ear with a forepaw. Woodpaw had it right, there. So much quieter in the den. Welp, too late now! He padded over to some distance, tried to ignore everyone's glowing pelt's and focus on what was happening.
