Orangeblossom

Orangeblossom sat in silence for a bit, just embracing Springlight's comfort and words for a moment. It had been awhile since he was comforted, nowadays it was always him comforting other poeple and he was alright with that but the kindness that Springlight was showing him was extremely nice and appreciated. It made him miss his mom a bit. That's a lie, he was always missing his mom a bit, this just reminded him of her. He sighed and shook the thought away from his brain and looked to Springlight as she spoke to him again. Oh, oh, that was...not what he thought he would hear. He was one of the first cats to volunteer for patrols. That couldn't be right, herbs were so important, surely more cats than just him and the medicine cats realized that. He grinned, "Of course, I am open for a patrol at any time! Unless..umm, I am already on one but that would mean-" He paused trying to understand himself the point he was trying to make but he ended up just waving a paw and his smile turned more sheepish, "Ah, never mind, stopped making sense there even for myself." He wasn't quite at his usual cheerfulness the news from the first part of the meeting still kind of weighing down on him.

Orangeblossom continued to give Bumblestar half his attention but focused more on Springlight. The molly was strange, but not in any sort of bad way, kind of like himself. He's been told that he was odd more than once for his more than cheery attitude but he always felt that life was too sad and too short to try not to stay on the brighter side of things. He figured that it was harder for the other molly to that though, he couldn't imagine what she sees in a moon compared to him in the medicine den. He suppressed a shiver at the thought. His paw was probably just one of many things which just brings up the point of how important herb storage is. Springlight was speaking again and the tomcat gave his attention to her and the offer that he wasn't really expecting at all. He gave a nervous laugh, caught a bit off guard by the medicine cat's generosity, "Y-yeah! I was planning to go and pay respects to Goldenheart."

Bumblestar caught his attention again as she began to list off the names of many, many kits. Wow, did they really have that many kits ready for their ceremonies already? Well, goes to show how great of a clan they are. The warrior sat pleased, "There are so many." He said it more to himself than expecting any reply. The tom turned to address Springlight again when his own name caught his attention when Bumblestar began to assign mentors to apprentices. Berrypaw. That meant that he was a mentor. With an apprentice. Oh. "Oh, an apprentice for me? An apprentice???" The tom was entirely caught off guard by this announcement. He was only 17 moons and he was getting an apprentice. He barely just got his own paws through the door of warriorhood and he was expected to train another cat how to be one? Though Bumblestar called on him, so that meant she thought that he could handle it. He couldn't let her down.

He muttered a quick apology to Springlight, "I still want to go to Willow's rise with you, I just need to check in with Berrypaw. Would you mind waiting until..umm tomorrow. I expect Berrypaw to want to head out immediately and I want this to be her day 'cuz, you know, it is. Apprentice ceremonies only happen once." After waiting for Springlight's answer the warrior padded away with a goodbye wave of his paw, "I'll be back after meeting with Berrypaw, promise!" and with that, Orangeblossom padded off to find the newly named apprentice. Which didn't take long as he almost crashed into Berrypaw only a few paces away from Springlight. The little thing to be very eager and excited which Orangeblossom was happy to see.

"I am your mentor! I also can't wait, what would you like to do first? We could do some touring of the territory? Or hunting? or oh! battling or learning how to do patrols? Or anything else you have on your mind?" While waiting for his new apprentice's answer he took a moment to call out the names of the other named apprentices finishing with Berrypaw's name. He turned his gaze back to Berrypaw and waited patiently for other feline's answer.
