private BELLS CHIMING // assessment

[ @MOMOWHISKER @edenberry ?! @Orangestar yippee ]

Spicepaw feels... sad. She's not sure what she expected to come out of this - maybe with the last many moons of struggle and strife, she sort of expected StarClan to give her a break. Maybe that Miz and Ari would be here with them in SkyClan instead of... who knows where in the twolegplace. There's a deep morose feeling over losing more of her family to circumstances outside of her. She supposes that this is why she pleaded to Orangestar to allow Edenberry to join them on her assessment. To accomplish so much and have no family to celebrate with her would be... incredibly sad.

Maybe Orangestar agreed, only to shut her up. Or maybe she agreed because she saw it in her own children - their comradery and shared love for one another compounded their successes tenfold. Spicepaw doesn't care to dissect what pushed her leader to say yes, only that she got a yes at all.

"Alright," Spicepaw says, her confidence falsified but pressing her chest outwards. "What will you have me do?" She posits her question towards her mentor, a strained smile on her face.​

 

[Orangestar]

Orangestar remains quiet as Spicepaw asks Momowhisker what her assessment will entail, ears angled forward from her place by Edenberry. She isn't sure why she had agreed to the newly-returned Daylighter being present, but finds herself acutely aware of the other's presence. Some sense of pity, perhaps? The black-striped warrior had earned their place on their first attempt through the insistence of their mentor ... perhaps they hope to do the same for Spicepaw should she fail a second time. If not, however, Orangestar would be pleased: Edenberry had not shadowed an assessment before, and it would be good experience for them to see what it was like from the other side. Similarly, Orangestar is curious to see what challenge Momowhisker would provide his apprentice with.

[edenberry ?!]

It's endearing that Spicepaw had gone through such great lengths to see them attend her assessment... it wasn't really... traditional but. They wouldn't deny her their company and support, not after the loyalty she'd given them in return. The presence of dandelion and ardent fur doesn't elude them, surprising as it is that Orangestar herself plans to oversee this test of skills. They don't doubt that their little sister will succeed, will thrive... Momowhisker was a plenty competent warrior.

Emerald pools glance nervously towards their leader, offering her a thankful smile but not daring to speak up lest she change her mind about the unecessary witness to this feat. They'd gotten enough favors out of her between this and Hazelbeam's insistence they get a do-over on their own assessment moons ago.

Gleaming with pride, they find their focus on the cinnamon she-cat again, a tiny grin of reassurance plastered on their face. You've got this!! Gooooo Spicepaw!
