Motherhood had changed a lot about how Forestshade sees the world. You know, figuratively. She had swore she wouldn’t let her kits grow up how she had - with hovering parents, strict rules, and rigid expectations. She’d let them live their own lives, choose what they want to do and how they’d do it, and in it all she’d realized she’d made a massive mistake.
She lays nearby as her apprentice practices stalking in a clearing. They’re alone out here in the marsh, just like how they spend most days, and sometimes Forestshade swears she can hear the girl’s nervous heart pounding within her chest. She’s always anxious and apprehensive, worried she’ll slip up, and the torbie’s ears fall back. The warrior has been suffocating her. She’s made the same mistake her parents made with her. Guilt and shame claw at her, and one look at her frowning expression gives away she feels off. “Orchidpaw, come here for a moment,” She suddenly says, pushing herself into a seated position.
