Upon hearing Scorchclaw's call, Lightstep padded out from the warriors' den to the main clearing of camp. Immediately his yellow gaze landed on the form of his deputy, perched on his spot in the Willow Branch. Lightstep's tail twitched with curiosity as he sat, waiting for the announcement. When it did, Lightstep perked up, the hints of a smile turning the dges of his mouth. An apprentice ceremony, he thought pleasantly, I wonder who the lucky kit will be?
As if on cue the deputy announced the name of Cinderkit. Lightstep sought out the young tom, seeing the apprentice-to-be making his way up to Scorchclaw at his request. The ceremony began for Cinderkit, and after he received his name he was given his mentor: Lightstep. The young white warrior perked up even further, trying to look calm and collected despite that he was bursting with joy about his new apprentice. Lightstep looked into the newly-named Cinderpaw's eyes and gave him a confident and encouraging nod before padding up the the apprentice to touch noses with him.
