I've wandered a long time, nearly given up on life until I heard about this clan." His quieted mews now sound more fervent, "I want to belong, I want to help, but Fleeteartold me that your leader wasn't letting anyone in. So I... thought I'd... sneak in." He dips his head again, maybe to apologize, but it looked more like he was exhaused with the way his left foreleg trembled.

Foxpaw continued the story.
"We'll and when I met him, i decided to help him... Hehehehe." He laughed nervously continuing.
"So we hatched a plan and I've helped him a bit. But we now need your help. The clan leader won't know him so we have to do something! Please help me! I mean us!"

Silvercloud rolled his eyes and then began again.
"Listen I would love to help you two but I am not sure how. It's not quite that easy, it would take a lot. "
He began to shift his paws and looked up at Shrewpaw.
"How d I know that you aren't some type of spy, huh? I don't trust you. If you really want to be an apprentice I need you to prove it to me."
