When Ravenpaw was not in the den for company, Fernpaw often found himself completely zoning out. He could not have predicted that he would miss the apprentice's den, a place that he should have outgrown a moon ago. And yet, the comfort of his horde and his familiar nest, barren from this place, was a considerable sore spot. Paws absentmindedly tapped a rhythm upon the ground, a soothing motion made only to occupy the wandering part of his mind. That part that kept tumbling down a path paved by his mistakes, by his inability. If he didn't ground himself, he'd crash head-first into a rock with a pattern upon it that suspiciously looked like the word pathetic.
Pawsteps reeled him back in from his stupor. When he turned his head he had been expecting to greet Ravenpaw, but instead that splash of white betrayed the figure's identity as Sablepaw. Neutral-pulled lips curved into a smile as he saw her, tired-looking beneath his gaze and yet shining sincere past the gloom of his demeanour. "Hi, Sablepaw," he said softly. Even if she was just going to be in-and-out, dropping off some moss or something... he was happy to see her.
