Noticing that she was simply staring blankly, Stoatdance shook her head and smiled. "Good job, Silverpaw. You did very well." She stood, pressing a gentle nose to her apprentice's head and stepping away. "I believe it's time to head back to camp now. You've done a lot of work today and it's getting late. You must rest now. Great work today." She gave a nod of approval and began to walk back to camp, her tail swaying behind her.

Her mentor had hesitated before answering, which for one moment made Silverpaw fear that she'd failed in her mentor's eyes, but she soon disregarded that doubt. With the certification of a job well done, she felt the weight of her ambition and self-expectations fall of her back. She took a deep breath and smiled before following after her mentor back to camp.
(Great!)
