Her eyes flicked to the ground where he'd buried himself. She put her tail on his back. You know? I'm sure your mentor broke the rules to! I'm sure everyone has. Even Lionstar. And you became an apprentice because Lionstar trusted you. He believes in you to learn. If you turn yourself in. The things you wished to do are wasted. She said softly I dropped herbs into a stream. I wasn't punished because I learned that I should have payed more attention. She added. Was that the right thing to say? Or did I make it worse? She asked herself. Her eyes stared off into the distance. Waiting for his response. He hadn't done anything to wrong. And if he broke a rule or two every cat has. I don't want him to feel bad. But I also want him to learn. He'll understand what she was saying right? She didn't know the feeling. Because she spent her days in the nursery doubting her ability's. But she did probably break a rule trying to train Brightpaw. So she learned. And they can train each other whenever once their older! Right? She could understand the feeling of shame though. She felt shameful for her blindness that she would spend each moon. Not trying anything really. But then she met Brightpaw and that helped her realize her blindness was actually cool. And it made her different from the others like how Brightpaw's enthusiasm made him different. And now she had an awesome friend! And that was nice.
