The nursery was busy. There was no denying it, and Whitekit found it somewhat frustrating. Having his nest invaded by wandering youth was becoming a near daily occurrence and he honestly needed a break. The pale kit wandered around the camp that morning in search of, well, just anything to do that would spare him from returning to the nursery for a while. It was during his exploring that he found himself pausing just outside the apprentice’s den. ”Just one more moon to go…” Soon he could be free from the nursery and he would take on a new life with duties and the freedom to step outside the camp under the watch of a warrior. The train of thought brought him to ponder over a further question. ”I wonder who my mentor will be?”
 

Returning from a successful hunting patrol, Howlfire deposited the plump squirrel she had caught earlier onto the fresh-kill pile. She had hoped to catch more, but was ultimately satisfied that her squirrel was plenty large, and would certainly make a good meal. As Howlfire moved away, her eyes caught a flash of white moving towards the apprentice's den, and she followed it to see Whitekit sitting there. Howlfire wandered over quietly, hanging back a little to hear him quietly musing about how he only had a moon left before he became an apprentice himself.

"Counting down the days, hmm?" Howlfire asked with an amused hum, as she stood beside the young cat. The chocolate torbie could still remember her own excitement about becoming an apprentice when she was younger, of all the new things she would get to see and experience. Some kits either really looked forward to the change, or wished they could stay in the nursery forever. Clearly, Whitekit skewed more towards the latter. "If Orangestar let you choose, who would you want as a mentor?" Howlfire asked him, this time genuine in her curiosity.
 

Tumbling after Whitekit, Venuskit found herself nearly crashing into him as he stopped, staring longingly into the apprentice's den. Skidding to a halt beside him, she looks up at the older warrior as he speaks softly to himself. Howlfire is close by, and asks who he'd pick as his mentor if he got to pick for himself. "Are you excited to be an apprentice?" Curiosity was getting the best of her, and she was curious who Whitekit would want as his ideal mentor. Unfamiliar with most of the clan's cats, she found herself wondering if he'd pick one of the few she knew.
