"Huh?!" The small cat's head immediately popped up at the sound of a familiar cat's voice. Cloverpaw had been so busy trying to handle the hurt cats after RiverClan's latest battle, the she-cat had found no time to rest. And now, in broad day light, did the cat find herself snoozing off among her herbs.
Immediately embarrassed for being caught asleep, the cat focused on licking her paws as opposed to meeting Ebonyleaf's gaze. "Oooh, heeeey Ebonyleaf. I was just.. um... organizing my stuff here." She mewed quickly, and suddenly feeling unconvincing she added, "I wasn't doing anything other than that..." But as soon as she had said it the cat immediately wished she hadn't spoken at all. It was clear, by the rumpled look of her fur and the drowsiness in her voice, that she had been asleep. Cloverpaw felt frustrated with herself, this wasn't the message she had hoped to send on her very first training session with Ebonyleaf. StarClan help her.
