Moving to the apprentice’s den is not nearly as glorious it was shaped up to be.

It’s crowded, damp with snow carelessly being flung in by older apprentice’s who laid out of harms way in the center of the den. The only room to lay down her nest was at the outskirts of the fern walls, where even now in the midday she could feel cold leaf-bare air leaking in. She feels her breathing tense as she realizes the comfort of the nursery was nowhere to be found here, no longer could she run to Leopardtongue’s warm embrace. This is where she must lie, in the cold, damp corners of the dug-out den.

Visibly she pouts, her lips weighed down and quivering as she forces herself to lay out her nest. They dread the coming night knowing sleep would not come easily and the frost would bite even harder than now. She has half the nerve to challenge an older apprentice to a contest for their spot in the den, but bites her tongue knowing it wouldn’t be a good look to stir up so much trouble on her first day. Roeflame would likely not be too proud, nor her parents.

-ˋˏ ༻☽༺ ˎˊ- As one of the oldest apprentices in the den, Badgerpaw was prepared to welcome in the newly named youngsters with joyful glee and open paws. She wasn't quite expecting one to come in pouting, lip quivering, as if they had just had their favorite toy taken from them.

Where she was sprawled out carelessly in one of the center nests, Badgerpaw rolled over onto her side to face Foxpaw with a confused look. Aren't apprentices supposed to be excited to be join the new den? She knew she was, back at that age. Or, she assumed she was - she couldn't really remember the details. "Uh.. well, welcome. What's up? Bad mentor? Miss your mom?" she suggested all she could think of that would upset the russet feline. For all her rambunctiousness, there was certainly an empathetic side to her, and her gaze was soft as she questioned Foxpaw, even if her choice of words were quick and blunt.

. ° ✦ Bravepaw fulfilled the perfect example of a new apprentice. Overly eager to jump into his new den, chat with his new denmates and spark the beginnings of new friendships. The apprentices den was full, more than he had expected and found himself a little overwhelmed as he joined his sisters into the hollow. The tabby had been worried the older -paws would nag and make fun of him if he dragged his kit toys into the den, so he left them abandoned in his little corner. Whatever queen took to the nursery next would have some of the grandest, prime mossballs and stones to hand to their litter and he took some satisfaction from that.

The hierarchy of the apprentices den was quite clear as the bigger, older denmates kept themselves within the center. Bravepaw hadn't even taken much notice in how the edge of his nest felt colder as his thick coat kept him bundled safely from the sharp caresses of the breeze. A clear azure gaze turned to look at his big sister, blinking in confusion at her clear distress.

"Look Foxpaw, we can keep our nests together like this!" He gently reassured as he pulled the moss closer to her. "If you stay behind me I can keep you warm, too. Like Leopardtongue would." Bravepaw would be the perfect brother, keeping both his sisters warm if he must.
