There was a brief moment where Sprucekit felt utterly mortified. Was she supposed to bring something for the elder? If the apprentices were bringing gifts, then she should be too. She wasn't much for collecting things, but surely she would be able to find something suitable. The kit let out a sigh. Next time, she would have to come with something extra special.

"I'm sure they did it because you would like them." she said, eyeing the new shell. The tortoiseshell gently prodded the shard, almost as if she expected it to bite her. It didn't, but she swore she saw it glimmer. Letting out a quiet 'huh', Sprucekit prodded the shell towards a ray of light streaking in from the entrance. She blinked in surprise as the opalescent shard shone under the sunshine. "How does it do that?"

The elder's eyes glowed at her reassurance, but his face really lit up when she pushed the shard into the light. The magnificent sparkle of its surface reflected onto both the cats, adding spots of light to their own already-colourful pelts.

"I don't know." Rainbowtail answered. Instead of being lost with his response, the elder's voice sounded confident, almost to the point of laughing with joy. Even at such a point in life he was still happy to not know what he was looking at, and simply enjoying being awe-struck by the magic of what it was.

"What I do know, is that this shell perfectly matches your gorgeous green eyes, Sprucekit!" He chirruped, gently pushing the piece closer to his Granddaughter. "Here, you should take a few pieces with you to the apprentice's den. I'm sure it will make your nest look beautiful." Rainbowtail moved his other paw to spread out the rest of the pile, an array of pretty, colourful shards and shells lay strewn across the den floor.
