With the weather beginning to warm a bit, prey was becoming less reclusive, giving ShadowClan a chance to regain their strength after the last tussle with ThunderClan. It was much needed, and she was unsure what the next Gathering would hold. In fact, Servalwing had just gotten back from that patrol and deposited her catch on the fresh-kill pile, about to go in search for Flashpaw for another training session. It worried her that she still didn't seem to be getting the hang of the hunting crouches, though the mottled she-cat could understand. Though she hadn't asked directly about Branchpaw's disappearance, the ShadowClan warrior knew her apprentice was taking it hard. Perhaps a nice walk through the territory would clear her mind. As she was about to head off to look for the young feline, a familiar voice sounded behind her. "Ah, Flashpaw. I was about to come searching for you," she purred as she turned around, offering her apprentice a smile. There was a stoic look on her face, causing Servalwing to pause. "Is everything alright?" She studied the young cats face, searching her to see if there were any signs of the same glassiness that occupied Flashpaw's eyes during their training sessions, or the subtle slouch in posture that gave way to just how tired she must be. But none of that seemed visible, which made Servalwing curious as to what Flashpaw might want to discuss.

At the way Servalwing responded, and the curious look in her eyes, a chill ran down her spine.
Flashpaw lowered herself into a sitting position, unable to look her mentor in the eye. It was painful that she had to see her mentor lose her first apprentice- not something every mentor had to experience, really. But nevertheless, she sighed, and it all came pouring out at once. "I went in for an asthma appointment with Daydream and they told me some personal stuff about them and I realized how alike we were and we bonded and they asked me to by medicine cat apprentice and I said yes and they told me to tell you!" Flashpaw winced, preparing herself for a response from the she-cat, unsure of how she'd reply to that onslaught of events.
