Sedgestorm murmered nonsensically in response, a purr rising within him.
"It's definitely better now."
He hadn't thought to ask anyone for training in swimming and fishing. He wanted very little to do with water on a good day and even less so when it was cold. Maybe he could get away with not learning until it was warmer.
"How's your day been, then?"

Several faces in the crowd stood out to her and her heart sank, recognizing it was possible they'd forgotten some of her other adopted kits.
She got up, despite having just sat down and stopped by each one of them to comfort them.

She approached Primrosepaw first and let out a soft mrrp sound to indicate she was approaching. She didn't know if the apprentice was blind or just not visually aware.
"Primrose. Prim. I'm a friend of Sugarapple's. You called out for her, but I'm afraid she can't come to you. Would you like me to help you instead?"
She could only assume Primrosepaw didn't understand death. It wasn't uncommon in younger cats or even slower cats and some where just sheltered, but right now, she simply wanted to ease the apprentice into the truth as gently as she could.

Primrosepaw couldn't understand how there were so many sounds, and how of which none belonged to Sugarapple. The tiny apprentice was frowning as she listened in all direction, until eventually one specific sound stood out to her "Sugar?" Primrosepaw turned- the wrong direction but nonetheless still thinking it might finally be the molly who had been the first to take care of her. But no. She was met by a much different voice - one Primrose knew didn't belong to Sugarapple. Turning again by her name, the calico finally managed to mostly face whoever the voice belonged. Although this voice was the first to correctly say her name, she was frowning even if that expression was partially taken over by surprise. Her ears were perked though as she listened, slowly trying to make sense of the molly's words. This voice.. Knew Sugarapple, from what she understood, and there was something Sugar couldn't do? "Su..gar...?" Primrosepaw finally meowed slowly and questioningly after a moment silence, head
tilted. By the difference in her tone, it was her asking about Sugar - what and why the molly couldn't do, why she wasn't showing up like before.

Flyfur stepped closer to Primrosepaw.
"I'm going to sit beside you," she warned, before sitting next to her, pressing her side into the apprentice's.
"Sugarapple loved you dearly and she would never leave you alone if she could help it. She was..... taken from us. She was taken far away, to somewhere she can't come back from and somewhere we can't bring her back from. She won't be coming back...."
She blinked, tear welling in her eyes again. She should be be tyer about this, about getting over lose, but she's lost so much and Sugarapple..... it just hit too close.
"She loved you. If she could come to you, she would. I'll try my best to be there for you in her place."
Would this be what she wanted? Primrosepaw more than any of her other kits seemed to need comfort now. It was the least she could do for her dearest friend.
@Estelle

Flyfur reach her tail over and rested it over his back.
"She was..... the best any of us could ask for."
Her eyes looked down to the ground, unsure of what else to say to Ebonypaw. All she could do was be there for the remaining cats that had been in her care.

Eelsting listened to the reported deaths with a frown and a bowed head, Charredpaw getting to him especially. While he felt for Sugarapple and mourned her death, it was always hard to hear of an apprentice dying before they’d even gotten the chance to really live.

It didn’t take long for the announcement to be entirely trampled by someone popping up after disappearing and Eelsting raised a brow at the former warrior as he was escorted away, not recognizing him despite his status as a former Riverclan cat. Fairly apathetic to the sudden arrival, the smoky tom turned back to Sootstar. Both the death announcement and the arrival had been interesting but neither were the reason for this meeting, so Eelsting couldn’t help wondering what was. Perhaps Sootstar had chosen a deputy? The tom looked around at the gathered cats, wondering who it could be. There was a lot of potential in Riverclan and excitement began to grow in Eel as he pictured who among his clan mates would excel in the position.

The black and white molly padded over to Beanpaw. "Excited about something?", she asked in a friendly jester. Maybe they were going to become an Warrior. Most apprentices were excited about becoming warriors. She wondered if he was the same way.

Beanpaw

He only jumped a little bit as a cat approached him. Oh! They seemed friendly. "Yeah, I am! I think... well, I hope this is when I become a warrior!" The normally soft-spoken cat was rather upbeat and talkative. His mind was racing with possibilities and positivity. Despite the bitter chill of leaf-bare, he felt... warm. Fuzzy. Nice. "I kinda wonder what my names gonna be. Hopefully something fun. But nice? Liiike... Bean...nose? Hmmm... I don’t know."

"Moving on..."

Sootstar cleared his throat. There was some mourning to be done but it would have to wait. There were other things to be accomplished this meeting and he didn't intend to it to drag on any longer than it had to.

"We have a couple promotions to get through today."

"Mousekit [ @ThePuzzlerThree ] and Lakekit [ @New Years Dashers ], if you'll step forward."

Reedkit watched with dull fascination, sighing to himself. He still only had a few moons until he became an apprentice, but it felt a lot longer. Still, he smiled at the two kits, cheering for them when they were called.

Snowpaw watched in awe she remembered this was her many moons ago

Fawnkit saw Reedkit nearby. Reedkit was nice! As the two kits Sootstar called up walked to the rock thingy the leader was sitting on, Fawnkit ran to his friend. "Hi, Reedkit!" he greeted, glad to see someone he knew in the crowd. There were a lot of cats. "What are they doing?" he asked, pointing the tip of his tail towards Mousekit and Lakekit. @Kyrieknight
