Stagpaw was becoming a warrior... Rushingmoor felt old for the first time in his life. To be fair, Stagpaw wasn't his biological son, so his age had little to say about Mushy's age. Shoving aside the strange fatherly feelings, Rush trotted out into the crisp air and shook out his fur to fluff himself up against the chill of the air, looking around for Twi and Stag.

Making his way out of camp, the striped warrior honed in on the lilac form of the leader and jogged over, twitching his nose as the mist of his warm breath fanned out before him. Stagpaw's face plant prompted a laugh from Rushingmoor as he approached and he held out a paw to rub it on the kid's head.

"Big day, kid! You excited?"

Golden eyes slipped up to Twilight and Rushingmoor offered her a small smile. They still hadn't talked about his slip-up during their last adventure and it weighed heavily on his mind. He'd have to bring it up at some point- not now obviously, thankfully- and he dreaded it.

"Thanks for inviting me."
