camp IT'S LIKE I'M WASTING YOUR HONOR // 11/3 MEETING

[Honeydapple]

At the call of Howlingstar, she was easily coaxed from a cozy nook in the warrior's den. She was still recovering from her wounds, but thanks to Flycatcher's bravery, she had come out mostly unscathed. Every cat had endured so much in the last moon, and she hoped that good news was on the horizon.

Honeydapple quickly found a place to rest, her tail laying limply beside her. The absence of her partner dismayed her, but she soothed the concern with reason. Surely, Grizzlyjaw was off in another part of the growing crowd she'd missed. Her mind quieted as Howlingstar properly began the meeting. The progress of the Lungwort made her heart sing praises to the journeying cats. Without them, those afflicted surely would have died, and the pointed feline dreaded the thought. Banishing the negative feelings, her mind focused on the meeting.

Several cats were graduating to apprentices, and others were rewarded with new names—something she recalled fondly at her own naming ceremony. Happily, she joined in on the cheering. "Woo! Sunshinepaw! Pigeonpaw!" Shortly after, her congratulations ramped up in excitement as she called out belatedly to the other onlookers. "Toadhop, Mothfur - Stormfeather!" Taking a breath, her expression lit up at the mention of a new lead warrior.

The tom had without a doubt proved themselves worthy. "Batwing!" Alas, her throat could take a break as the rest of the meeting wound down to a lull.​

Mats groomed from their fur, Sunshinekit knew that the inevitable had come and there was no way he'd be able to avoid it much longer. He would become a -paw, an apprentice, and their carefree mornings and afternoons would be over. In truth, finally sleeping with their siblings again did excite them - Emberpaw's pelt is usually as warm as his name's sake! - but now he would no longer be able to curl up with his father anymore.

Selfishness remains tangled in their fur as they're beckoned forth by Howlingstar. Kit is dropped from their name and they are presented to the Clan has Sunshinepaw... Mousenose's new apprentice. He's not disappointed, nor is he afraid. Sunshinepaw approaches their sibling with a lazy smile despite the uncertain, muddled emotions swirling in their gut. "I'll..." what? Make them proud? Do their best? Even now, with their name cheered and eyes fluttering between sibling and sibling - they just want to go back to sleep. Sunshinepaw chuffs and doesn't finish their hopeful statement, only humming something agreeable to the incoming adventure.

They step out of the crowd's eye, watching as three warriors are made and Batwing is brought onto the council. His smile doesn't leave him, yet his tail twitches with newfound nervous energy.​
