Cherrypaw was finally an apprentice! It felt like she'd had to wait forever, but now the time was here, and she was apprenticed to Jackalstar, no less. She wondered if it was because he liked her, or if he thought that she needed extra help. Whatever the case, she was determined to impress him.
Padding into the apprentice's den, she took a long look around, her eyes shining. It was so much bigger than the nursery, and there were so many different scents and sights. There were many cats who were already apprentices, and a huge bunch that had been moved up with her. She had to start acquainting herself somewhere. Cherrypaw noticed another cat, and with a bounce in her step, she padded up to them.
"Hello there!" Cherrypaw greeted them with a purr, sure that nothing could possibly ruin her good mood.

little self-conscious Ambber makes a grand re-appearance in life~
Amberpaw let out a squeak of surprise at a sudden voice, twisting her neck around to see a young apprentice behind her, attempting to start a conversation. The tortoiseshell was baffled. She had heard the new trainee walk in, and briefly watched her look around. But as Amberpaw knew that she was the last cat in FireClan to ever interact with her, she had simply tuned her out and turned back to fixing her moss nest.
Only... wow, where was the rest of FireClan if Amberpaw was suddenly 'the last cat to talk to' in camp?
"U-uh, h-h-hi." the older she-cat mumbled, a stab of the usual self-doubt affecting her confidence greatly. Amberpaw swallowed, giving a uncomfortable wave of a paw. "You... uhm... n-need something?"
'Will she say something about how weird I look?' Amberpaw whined in her head, glancing down at her odd pelt pattern, stubbed tail, and large hind legs. Her long ears flattened against her head in shame. 'Of course she will... I look like a freak. Why wouldn't she come over to ask why I look so strange?' |

"No. I didn't mean to bother you, I just thought.. It might be nice to meet some other apprentices." Cherrypaw lowered her head, kneading a paw against the ground. This cat looked extremely nervous, and the stutter that she spoke with only made Cherrypaw feel even more pity.
Maybe all this she-cat needed was some kindness. So far, being nice worked very well to soothe every situation Cherrypaw had been in. She smiled at Amberpaw, giving a friendly blink. "My name is Cherrypaw. I've just recently been made an apprentice." The bobtail left out how she was Oceanstar's apprentice, not wanting to boast. "What's your name?"

notes~
Amberpaw was still very much surprised by this turn of events. She... just wanted to talk to her? How... different. Usually, since Amberpaw clearly acted like an anti-social blob, most apprentices avoided her. She went out training on her own, as a lack of a mentor really made her fall behind from her siblings, and she even stopped hanging out with Ravenpaw... when the tomcat had disappeared... like most do. Probably to get away from her....
Amberpaw was quiet until this 'Cherrypaw' had finished talking, and then she swallowed a lump in her throat, willing herself to say something. "...A...er...aw...." Her mumblings left the name hardly heard, and the tortoiseshell panicked a moment latet. "A-ah, my name! My name... that's... it's uh, Amberpaw. My... name...." Oh, she could never not be awkward....
"A-and you're not bothering me... uhm, because you said earlier you were... sorry for doing that. But, uh, you're not!" Aaah, cringe.... "I... I'm sorry... I'm not good at...." Amberpaw waved her paw around for emphasis. "...This."
