Say what you will about Fluffypaw, she's true to her word. She had promised Candorkit she would find him a suitable place to put his nest, and she marches straight from the meeting into the apprentice's den. Her nest is still lonely, separated from the others—not by choice, but because it had been the nest she'd chosen. It had smelled faintly of the older apprentices, which had given her a kind of comfort. She hopes her nearness will do the same for Candorpaw, and vice versa.

Fluffypaw uses a white-dipped paw to point to her bedding. "I'm right there," she mews. Suddenly she feels self-conscious. "Erm... if you still want to sleep by me, that is. If you don't, I understand." He's her best friend, she knows this for certain, but... maybe things have changed since he's become an apprentice?

〕Entering the apprentice's den for the first time feels surreal. It's so roomy in here, at least compared to the bustling nursery. Lionpaw's heart is bound to ache for the soothing presence of Bobbie when night fell, but for now, his paws are itching with anticipation to secure a spot in the sea of nests.

Speaking of nests, Lionpaw overhears Fluffypaw asking Candorpaw if he would like to sleep next to her. The light in the chocolate torbie point's eyes appears to dim ever so slightly for a reason that he cannot explain. Candorpaw had always slept next to him and Hollypaw. I guess he doesn't have to anymore... The newly-named trainee supposes. Fluffypaw was Candorpaw's very good friend, after all.

Flicking their gaze to their mottled kin, they begin to wonder — if Sangriapaw were to have a nest here, would he choose to sleep next to her too? With Hollypaw and Candorpaw having their friends, who was Lionpaw left with? He tries to wave these thoughts away, figuring they would only dishearten him. "Do you still wanna sleep by me, Hollyki—paw?" They were littermates. Surely she wouldn't want to leave his side just because they were all apprentices now, right?

NOTE: mobile post!

He feels the wind behind him, ushering him forward. The morning birds call for him. Newleaf's grass seems greener. The sun's smile is bright, smiling sown on him as he takes his first steps without a single once of fear. Into the frey, beneath burnt umber gaze, he goes. Here, he emerges. Candorpaw! Allowed past the gates! Action ready and able! He barrels toward the apprentices den with a chocolate - tipped tail whipping back and forth. His smile lights like the sun ( or at least, he hoped it did. That was the sort of smile they tell stories about ) as he notices the dens entrance not towering above his head the same way it has before. He... is ready! And his posture exudes this same promise.

Candorpaw joins his friend Fluffypaw in arms, green eyes looking intently to where she points. There comes a nod of awknowledgement. Fluffypaw's nest. His gaze drifts to the empty spaces, before drawing to a close. The way that great warriora did when they were about to say something grand. " Of course I do! " he loudly declares. If any apprentice did not yet know of his appearence, they would surely tremble before him now! Er – no, because only the other clans should tremble before him, he remembers.

His siblings follow him in not soon after. An alert tail rises behind him. Wide eyes turn to see Lionpaw, who was now looking to Hollypaw as if Candorpaw has been lost to great darkness. " Brothers! There is plenty of space! " he announces. " If you ever have a bad dream, I may still clear the beasts' den quickly! " Make no mistake!

Nesting material... yes! This would only strengthen their bond! A short flight carries him outside, only for him to shortly return with jaws full of moss and feathers and other down. " Let us begin the rite of passage! " He doles out his own portions and tugs them closer to Fluffypaw. The twitch of a dark tailtip betrays his great excitement... " I've been practicing, watch this! " he mews to his friend, smiling wide before his face suddenly hardens in concentration and he begins to mush the materials together... Er... craft them! Deliberately and delicately.
