Twinkleflight... She's Twinkleflight now! There was a realisation that this meant that she couldn't spend time with her littermates in the same den anymore. This had come to her as she stood in the apprentices den gathering moss from her old nest into her new one. With a sigh she held the clump of moss between her fangs as she deconstructed her bedding. There is still a thrum in her heart, an echo of that adrenaline she once felt while standing before Lichenstar and StarClan itself to recieve her own warrior name. It didn't feel real, it truly didn't feel like she was a warrior. That might have to do with the fact that she's only over ten moons old bordering on eleven. Much too young to actually recieve it and yet she seems to have proven herself.
She doesn't want to sleep alone in a new den, granted her brother is there. Pebbletail won't make her feel completely alone but there is still a numbness that comes to not immediately seeing Eveningpaw and Horizonpaw upon waking up or winding down. As she finishes tearing down the last remnants of herself as a paw she spots her sisters pelt from the corner of her eye. "Evie" she mumbles with a purr, discarding the moss for just a fraction. She can spend a little longer here, it won't be long in the grand scheme of things.
"I'll miss you, who am I going to hear snoring now?" There's a playful whine and a mocking pout but it gives way to the tremble that follows. It's fine, this would be no big deal, they'll still see each other around. "Promise me you'll still tell me about the apprentice drama?" They think to ask if she can come with her so they can build her nest together, just an excuse so it's not technically a goodbye just yet.
"I can trade you warrior secrets too!" She says instead, beaming as she tries to focus on the positives. There were new connections she can hear about, new friendships to forge, more gossip to have so she can report it straight back to the apprentice. It was weird to think of them as being on separate ranks now, in her mind they were still paws but surely that would change with time too.
