Starrypaw was feeling so many emotions mixed up that, for a very brief moment, she thought she could throw up. Except that she hadn't had anything for hours before her ceremony, due to a strong anxiety that would fade only when she'd become busy building a new nest in her new den, away from queens and little kits with happy siblings and kind fathers. And the scent of milk. That was so, so overwhelming.
Wavebreaker's nose touch felt humid to hers, then she bent back to her natural pose and listened in silence. She had a mentor now. And his kind words reached her gently, making her turning her head for a second to recollect her tears and steady her already little, soft voice. She nodded. Yes, Elderkit would surely be proud of her from Starclan right now.
Right?
"Thank you Wisteriawren..." she thanked the queen, giving her a thankful look and blinking gratefully to her. The queen was always there for her, unlike Mistyshard and Dusklion... but Dusklion hadn't made any promise to the siblings, unlike the medicine cat. No, better not to think about it. Oh Starclan, Elderkit would have lover Wisteriawren.
Suddenly someone's strong smell appeared near them. She turned to see an older apprentice approaching them. She felt herself become smaller, but she didn't turn away. Kitepaw... oh, Wavebreaker's daughter...
"Hello... Kitepaw.." She said softly, wondering whether she could make her nest near hers so that maybe, only maybe, they would become friends. One day.
Kitepaw's gaze was strong. Too strong to be a normal look between father and daughter. Wavebreaker was quick to reply and leave the place with her daughter, but Starrypaw sensed something very weird in the tom's words. Her fur tingled like it had never done. Was there something wrong with them?
