Somewhere he heard the recognisable voice of Littlepaw scream out - you could say he almost felt embarrassed (as if that showed), but... He couldn't seem to find irritation in the scream this time. It felt... Different, much like Cricketsting's pun, albeit the usually lethargic tabby didn't pick up on that. He merely looked their way, giving a nod as his gaze lingered on the two for a brief moment before Bluebellpaw came up to him as well [ @SpiritedWarrior @Dirtfur - Thank you  ]. He cast his gaze down on the younger molly, giving her too a nod of thanks. Hah, he wasn't sure how to handle all these congratulations - it rarely happened, who could blame him? [ @lonely.lilyx ]
As the meeting continued, he looked back up to the dark-furred leader, most notably when the new shields got announced. A quick look over those selected, and the now former shield chanted the names along with the rest of the clan. While he wasn't very familiar with Raccoonear or Fogcloud (other than the ex-RiverClanner's situation just now), he did recall Moonfrost stepping in with that one intruder; one of the few who had their head on straight during that moment. Thus he didn't consider the three bad choices. Following the newly appointed shields, were apprentice ceremonies. Here it was kits getting promoted, their excitement was often unparalleled (and tiring, when they began screaming or bouncing around).

Littlepaw was very proud of her mentor, or who would become her former mentor as soon as she got her ceremony, which would surely be this meeting. When his eyes laid on hers, she dipped her head, acknowledging the new deputy. Slatewhisker probably didn't know Gingerfrost, but she was probably proud of him in StarClan. Shortly after the news of Gingerfrost becoming deputy passed through the whole of RiverClan, the small cream tabby stood up and began chanting the new names of all the apprentices.
"Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" she joined Pikestar in the chant to welcome all the new apprentices.
There's so many! I don't remember the last time RiverClan had this many apprentices, but I'm not complaining! One of the new apprentices was soon to become Cricketsting's ( @
Dirtfur ) responsibility. Casting a glance at her friend, she silently congratulated the tom and stepped back so that Fishpaw would have plenty of room to sit next to their new mentor ( @
Darkclaws ). She caught wind of Pikestar's attempt at a pun and chuckled quietly.
Not bad for a beginner!

(Didn't mean to quote you Zen, sorry!)
Reedwhisker's attention was brought to her brother as he comforted the nervous kit, Swallowkit, who was called up to be an apprentice. Although she didn't expect her brother to get another apprentice, she was quite pleased and proud of her brother ( @
Kat ) for being able to do so. Looking toward her littermate, the dark brown warrior nodded in congratulations before turning her attention back to Pikestar, letting Silverpaw, her little sister, torment their brother. To the warrior's surprise, she too, was getting an apprentice during this meeting. Memories from the back of her head flooded into the front: Nightpaw had been reassigned as her own apprentice and her promise had been broken when Nightpaw was dragged into the camp, dead. This time, she would not make any promises to young Rowanpaw ( @
judas ). Not until she had passed her assessment. Dipping her head in thanks for this opportunity- this redemption- Reedwhisker tucked her tail closer to her for Rowanpaw to sit down beside her new mentor. Everything else was a blur to the young warrior as she silently wished for Nightpaw to sit on the opposite side of her, but alas, that would never happen again. Reedwhisker quickly wiped away the water coming from her eyes and paid her attention to the meeting once more. Raccoonear, one of RiverClan's newest shields, had received an apprentice too. Cricketsting, the resident prankster of RiverClan, was getting an apprentice: Fishkit.
W-was that a pun? Well... okay then! she chuckled slightly, amused at the older tom's attempt in a pun.
"Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" the young warrior yowled, chanting the names of each apprentice along with Pikestar and RiverClan.
StarClan is gifting us with many apprentices, I shore hope they can all become warriors- oh dear StarClan, I made a pun.
