Safe and alive were both very important, but he would settle for just alive if he needed to. "Trouble? Me? Oh please, Briar. You know I'd never get into trouble." He purred, nudging his older sister lightly. Truth was, he didn't get into trouble too often. And especially not in the past few moons, things had been pretty slow for him...there was just the strange matter of Apurva. Kiwipaw now, wasn't it? Yes-- Kiwipaw. His hues sprang open as his sister mentioned having a mate. "A mate? Really? You'll have to introduce me-- I want to make sure it's no one but the best for my sis," He mewed with a smile. Timberpaw thought for a minute, his hues gleaming thoughtfully as he did so. Training-- that was the absolute worst thing. But he'd had his assessment, and should be becoming a warrior any day now. "Training's going absolutely great. I had my assessment-- little brother's catching up to you, Briar." He teased, before his expression grew serious. "And...I did meet a she cat a few-- uh-- few moons ago," Timberpaw remarked, feeling his pelt grow warm at the very thought of Kiwipaw. To him, she would always be Apurva, the loner he had found out on ThunderClan territory. But would she? Now she was a part of ThunderClan...and he wouldn't have to choose between loyalty and love. He could have both.

Kestrelpaw was finally an apprentice. After all those moons of waiting, and wondering when she would finally be one, the time had arrived. And she was determined to be the best apprentice ever. It didn't matter that she was more mature then the other apprentices-- well, some of them, at least. It didn't matter that she was desperate to prove herself. Because Aime'Storm was going to help her with all of that. Already knowing her mentor helped with her nervousness, and now all she could feel was pure excitement. This was going to be great. She just knew it. She approached the former kittypet, although that wasn't exactly the way she thought of him-- to her he was a friend, a companion, and someone who hadn't looked down on her because she was younger. A special type of cat. "Aime'Storm!" She called as she approached him. Her voice was level and calm, showing no signs of the bubbling nervousness she could feel inside her-- after all, it wasn't every day that she would be training. Well, from now on, it was. Almost every day at least. But thankfully she was getting to do it with a familiar cat, one who would someday be one of her closest friends. That was her hope, anyways.

It felt nice to reunite with her brother after so long, it had felt like just yesterday they were fighting Ratnight for the sake of their lives, but it was peaceful. There was no more unnecessary blood shed, no more dictatorship, but peace. Even if Thunderclan had a struggle with having some high ranks at first, they would always succeed as they always have. She purred along with him, "Yeah, her name is Cloudedsky. She's shy but, I'm sure she would love to meet you." she smiled. Cloudedsky wasn't the most sociable cat but she was the kindest, and she knew she would love to meet her brother when given the chance. "Kiwipaw? Tell me more 'bout this Kiwipaw," if cats could wiggle their eyebrows, she would be. She held a grin on her face, seeing her brothers obvious flustered expression, "I'll have to meet her sometime, make sure shes nothing but the best for my lil bro." she said,quoting what he had said moments ago.

Aime slipped into the clearing. It was early morning, but not dawn. Ever since being assigned Krestalpaw as an apprentice he felt nothing but excitement, like good jitters on his pelt. To prevent himself from being to hyper he took a stroll around the territory. This was his first apprentice, and he was rather excited. hearing his name called by a familiar voice he perked his ears and smiled, "Hey Krestalpaw, nice to be an apprentice finally, yea?" bright green hues stared back at her, full of warmth and excitement. He wanted to be the best mentor he could be, and hoped that he was going to be. His fluffed out tail twitched a bit in excitement still. "You up for a tour around the territory to start us off ?"
