It’d been a little while since Caliapaw had had any sort of interaction with other apprentices. She’d spoken with Everpaw some… and of course there were her patients… but other than that, she’d been pretty much alone. The only medicine cat Caliapaw had met had been Shinefang, and as nice as he’d been, she was hoping to meet some of the others at some point. Caliapaw hadn’t been able to catch up with any of her other friends lately… it was actually weird, not speaking to them. Her eyes scanned the clearing as she curled her tail around her paws, gaze flickering over each of the others there. Some of them she had treated before… others, she didn’t recognize. It was hard keeping up with the cats she knew in ThunderClan, and the weird thing was, the less she spoke to them, the more comfortable she was.

Caliapaw was comfortable being on her own. It was a good thing for her, healthy, even… as strange as it might have seemed. The biggest problem right now was finding a good balance between being alone and being with other cats. Thankfully, her job kept her pretty occupied with a mixture of both, and it was now - in her free time - that she chose to stay mainly alone. Sometimes she would speak to a family member, but that was about the extent of her social life these days. Kind of sad. It’s just too bad I can’t figure out more. She thought with a flick of her tail. She’d grown in the past few moons… she was 13 moons old now, and would be 14 fairly soon. It was exciting, thinking all of this through. Soon she would have her full name, as well… and perhaps start looking for an apprentice.

Caliapaw didn’t like kits very much, they made her a little uncomfortable, but maybe this would be a good way to… get to know a few of the younger cats around ThunderClan. Perhaps she would train an apprentice, or even a warrior - to be honest, Caliapaw wasn’t planning on being picky. It was exciting, thinking about the future of all this… and a little scary, too. But she wanted to have the future planned out before it was too late.
