Training. Training! Why would Orangeblossom think it would be a good idea to have Butterflytuft host a training session one anything? She had been mulling it over all morning; what in StarClan could she teach all of the far more capable warriors? What did she offer? And that’s when it hit her. What do I offer?….Well, I work on dens a lot. Perhaps that’s what she’s good at. It’s better than hosting a hunting lesson, at least. No one would bother listening to the forest’s worst huntress.
Luckily, a few cats actually showed interest in her lesson today. She crouches by the nursery, working the growing holly bush tendrils into the dead branches of the fallen tree. Sometimes, it’s still difficult to be around it, but as time passes and she spends more time with the kits, the area slowly becomes filled with happy memories again, replacing the images of Snowpath’s crushed body.
“Make sure it’s nice and tight,” The tortoiseshell chirps softly, gaze drifting to the paws of the cats helping her. “And if you need to wiggle in some brambles to fill in any gaps, I can help show you how to do it best!” For once, she actually speaks confidently. This is her happy place, helping out around camp and doing what she knows she’s good at. So even though her voice is still soft and gentle, she speaks clearly, with bright eyes and head high.
