First of all, Irisflame was shocked. How could the dark furred she-cat say that?! She had to take on an apprentice? She wasn't ready! She didn't know everything yet! She couldn't - She wouldn't be able to deal with the responsibility. And, just to clarify, she was terrible with younger cats. Having to deal with one for every single day of her life would be a tradegy. An accident waiting to happen. Was this what a queen or a warrior felt like when they had to guide a cat through their life? She gaped in horror at the she-cat, eyes burning with bubbles of overwhelming feelings. She couldn't do that. Not here, not now!

"Look, Icestar, to be perfectly resonable, I'm not ready for that yet. And I promise I will not leave you. That would be a selfish move. How can I deal with an extra cat when I haven't learnt everything myself?!" She cried, her voice desperate. She felt a growl build up in her throat, eyes narrowing. How could Icestar ask this of her? She could also feel her own heart clench in fear. There were too many feelings. Too many feelings. She tried to keep the panic attack away in vain, spreading her breathing. Meeting Icestar's eyes with a heavy gaze, she straightened up.

"If you want me to take on another cat, I can. But if this explodes in your face, I want every right to say 'I told you so.'" She mewed bitterly.
