The naive little kit thought to herself and couldn't help but feel hopeful for a future where she would succeed and be strong. Finchkit let out a squeal of excitement, "Could you really be my mentor?" She squeaked jumping around the apprentice, "I can tell you're great I just know it!" The pale tabby she-kit squeaked.

Otterpaw giggled at the kit's excitement. "Finchstar does sound like a pretty awesome name," she remarked. "And it's not exactly up to me if I become your mentor, but who knows? Perhaps I could speak to Fallenstar once I'm a warrior." Yeah... once I'm a warrior. I'll be braver then. Brave enough to talk to the Clan leader, though..? She paused. Of course I will be. He's a RiverClan cat, just like the rest of us. What's the worst he can say, no? Still, I should definitely wait until I'm a warrior. I have a lot to focus on already: patrols, in-camp duties, training... training! "Oh, mouse-dung!" Otterpaw exclaimed. "I've got training today with Mintflower! I'm supposed to meet her at the reed barrier at sunhigh... what time is it?" She glanced up at the sun, which was almost settled at the highest point in the sky. "Oh, great StarClan..." she muttered. "I'm sorry, Finchkit, I have to go. Catch you later, though! Maybe I can teach you some hunting moves tomorrow morning," she offered.
