Crowpaw
Purrks: Heightened Perception, Agatha Kitty, and Hulk SMASH

The silence while he and his little sister reunited was much more appreciated than he had originally thought. Perhaps it was the fact his sister, a sister he thought died, was back in ThunderClan. His pelt was warm with the fire that was once burnt out. Was it perhaps comfort he was feeling? It was a very good possibility, since that's how he felt when he was around Sweetsong.
But Crowpaw ignored those simple (yet downright complicated) feelings just for the moment. Now was not the time for thoughts, but rather, the vow he's been waiting to say since he was of age.
"I do." Crowpaw knew full well he was lying, but he couldn't become a warrior without the vow. He was a tom of his word, and to be fair... he was planning to uphold the vow. For one night, yes, but he was still upholding it.
For as long as I'm able... I'll be able to until tomorrow, when I leave. Words were funny like that, weren't they?
"And Bumblestar... if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to choose my own name." After being an apprentice for well over a season cycle, Crowpaw had thought long and hard about his warrior name. He's contemplated it many times, changing his future name each time he thought about it. But recently, he thought about changing it to be after his dearest and bestest of friends. A friend that gave him an ear and a shoulder. A friend that gave him peace.
Sweetsong, this is for you.
He looked down at his paws for a moment, really deciding if this was the best choice. And after only a few short moments of contemplating the name and tossing it here and there, Crowpaw couldn't think of a better name to honor his friend and really show off his growth over the short amount of time he and the golden RiverClan tabby have known each other.
"I know it's not traditional, but..." he looked back up at the tabby leader, sparing a quick glance at his sister, as if looking for some encouragement.
"I'd like to be named... Crowsong. After a special friend of mine, who's helped me in more ways than one."
