"Thank you." the words were said out of instinct. Sprucekit was nothing if not polite with those older and wiser than her. As the words began to sink in however, a sense of trepidation returned. Oh the shells were beautiful; seeing the light catch on their pelts and the floor below was something she had never really seen before. Yet, to just giving it away because she thought they were pretty? "But... They're yours."

The tip of her tail flicked as she thought through it. Was refusing more rude than accepting? Sometimes cats offered something with the expectation of a reward in turn. There was nothing she could offer for now, though. Oh, but he did say that they could be used for her future nest. In that case. "Once I can leave camp... Maybe we can trade? I'll find a really nice she'll, so you don't miss one."

"Oh Sprucekit, it's quite alright!" The tom reassured her, brushing his tail against her shoulder and offering a warm smile.

"They're not mine, you know, they're for everyone. I'm just looking after them and enjoying their beauty for now." Rainbowtail mewed, thinking about who else admired these shells. He remembered seeing a crow with one once, up on a twoleg ledge. It would tilt the shell with its beak to let it wobble, then let go to watch it shimmer. They way it jumped up and down in excitement was just like a Riverclan kit!

"You don't have to take it if you don't think you're ready, or if you don't want it, and the search for other shells is entirely up to you." He patted her paw with his own. The shells were nice, but he knew in the end that this small chat with his granddaughter was more valuable than any shell which could be found. "I'll be happy with whatever choice you make Sprucekit."
