Quietpaw was padding by the elder’s den, lost in thought. It seemed that she had missed out on a lot more than events in the clan since she been gone. She had been shaken to realize that her family wasn’t as close-knit and close as she had thought. It really didn’t make sense to her. Before she had gone missing, they had all been so close, how could they have all drifted their separate ways since she had been gone? Though now that she was thinking about it, the signs had been there all along. How she barely saw her parents, how she never saw Rainpaw with their parents. In fact, her brother was the only one she had truly spent time with and become close to in their family since she had arrived home.

The thoughts whirled around and around in her, and she would have completely missed Sharppaw, or Sharpeye as he was now called, if she hadn’t seen the movement of him rolling into the elder’s den. She paused, her ears perking up from their previously lowered position as she watched. The small tabby could see that Sharpeye was obviously distraught, and she could hear him start to sob as he came to a rest in one of the nests. Quietpaw felt horrible for the situation the tom found himself in. Granted, she didn’t know him well, but she could only imagine how upset she would be if she wasn’t able to become a warrior.

With a silent sigh, Quietpaw padded over to Sharpeye, concern visible in her eyes as she approached the sobbing tom. She wasn’t sure how to cheer him up, she couldn’t speak to comfort him, and so she did what the only thing she was able to. She sat a tail length away, enough so that Sharpeye wouldn’t feel pressured to accept her company, and simply, flicked an ear and tilted her head slightly, indicating that she was there to listen if he wanted to talk or rant, or maybe just sit in comforting silence for some kind of support.

++ Sharpeye = He/His/Him = ThunderClan Elder ++

Sharpeye heard quiet footsteps come to him and he lifted his head to see Quietpaw sitting next to his nest. She seemed to be listening to him. "I... I just want to be a warrior! Why did I let myself try and battle train with Beastwatcher!? It's all my fault! What purpose is there to be here now!? StarClan clearly has no plan for me... I'm not even a Clan-born cat..." The Black tom sobbed again, plunking his face into the moss of his nest. Oh, how he wished he could move his front legs again!

Quietpaw

Quietpaw listened as Sharpeye started to sob out what was troubling him. She felt so bad for him, especially as she heard the desperation and anguish in his voice. She always hated seeing other in so much pain, and usually there wasn’t much she could do to help because she couldn’t communicate like a normal cat could. The name Sharpeye mentioned made her ears flick. Beastwatcher wasn’t a name she recognized, and she flicked her tail in curiosity. Quietpaw was unsure of how Sharpeye got hurt, but from what the tom said, it seemed like it had been a training mishap. Breaking two front legs seemed pretty severe an injury for a training session though.

She snapped out of her thoughts as the black tom started crying again, and she immediately lowered her ears. What could she do to cheer him up? His sorrow was starting to affect her, and she felt her own mood drop. She looked around the den. It was rather dreary in the den, and she immediately thought of something she could do to cheer him up. Why not bring some color into the den? If someone brought her a colorful gift when she was sad, she would cheer up pretty quickly. She got up and dipped her head before quickly padding off. She came back a few minutes later with a few colorful flowers she had seen growing around the camp walls, and deposited them in front of Sharpeye with a small smile. Hopefully those would cheer him up. It was the only thing she could really do anyways.

Sharpeye just kept crying. He didn't notice Quietpaw leave the den. He sensed her coming back and lifted his head as she set some colorful flowers in front of his nest. She smiled at him as she did so. The black tom leaned over and sniffed the flowers and took one into his paw and tried to put it into his ear, which he kind of did it(it was handing off his left ear). He took the rest of the flowers and put them in his new nest and smiled up at Quietpaw. "Thank you, Quietpaw..." He said.

Cinderpaw felt her heart dip into her stomach as Foxpaw was called up. Yeah. What else had she been expecting? She should be used to this by now, this is what she wanted, but watching everyone trek ahead of her still... hurt. She knew it was an unrealistic fantasy of hers; a confidant who shared her ideals and name and everything else she had gone through who would stay by her and she wouldn't have to be afraid of being left in the dust.

And as Foxflurry was named, it sunk into the apprentice just how unreal those thoughts were. She was the only one left now. Bumblebreak had told her that taking her name and moving on had been living, and now Cinderpaw felt lifeless.

Quietly, she pressed against the kitten at her side. Honeykit had to be comforted or something. She had no idea what, but it absolutely was not for her, no. Quickly the leader moved on and rattled off a string of announcements. Flameheart the keeper, ugh. The more time went on, the more distaste she had for the rank -- it felt more like they were there to keep them in a perfect little line then actually help.

Sharpeye's naming made her want to throw up. Dammit. Dammit. What had happened to him? How could an apprentice have gotten injuries so gruesome? Why hadn't she noticed sooner? She braced herself against the ground, feeling dizzy.

And... a new deputy. Thrushfur. An uncomfortable pit formed in her stomach. Wasn't he... Rainpaw's dad? She had seen the apprentice storm away just a few minutes earlier, and thought back to what he'd told her about his upbringing. She... she had to just be jumping to conclusions. He hadn't told her about anything bad his father had said against him... but Cinderpaw was still unsettled.

As Cinderpaw turned and shuffled away from the crowd, she couldn't shake the feeling she was watching it all fall apart again.

After cheering the new cats' names, Alderstep slunk away. He twitched and flicked his ears, trying to clear them of all the noise. Ugh, if only meetings were quieter. He left Thunderwillow, going elsewhere to do other things.
