The return of the patrol had left the child tired. With her age working against her, Eelpaw had been struggling to stay with the patrol, spending most of it running behind them to catch up. Occasionally, the patrol would stop to allow her to rest before continuing on to her relief. She knew better than to complain and was doing her absolute best to be a good apprentice who didn't complain about the pace. They wouldn't like it if I did complain about not being able to keep up. It was during one of these pauses alongside the riverbank that she came across a pewter blue-colored shell. In awe, the child quickly picked it up and carried it along with her back to camp.
Her father had once told her how it was a good thing to try and do something nice for at least one cat every day; something she found herself reflecting on during the walk home. It wouldn't take long for her to conclude that she needed to gift her find to one of her clanmates. Without even knowing if they liked shells or not (nor would she stop to think about if the recipient would keep the find or not) she would look around camp as she returned for the first cat to catch her attention. Walking over, she would eagerly wave her tail in greeting before gently setting the shell down at her chosen cat's paws. "Good Morning Miss Boneripple! I found this pretty shell on my way home and thought you might like it! I was told it was important to do something nice for someone here and there so I'm giving it to you!" As she happily chirps her explanation to the woman, she searches her face for any signs of approval or distaste in the gift.
