Seeing his friend's tired gaze suddenly brighten up at his words, Snowybreeze couldn't help but purr alongside her, elation running through the patched tom as he felt Berryfrost's paws fling around him. Her words registering more on emotion than the blunder in them, the massive tom wrapped his own paws around the egg shell colored molly, hanging tightly on to her as he attempted to lift her up, her good mood highly contagious as he heard an audible laugh escape him before he could stop himself. Only a sudden change to her demeanor dampened his mood, concern instantly marring his previously cheery features as the peppered warrior spoke. As she admitted to her blunder, the gentle giant blinked his eyes once. Twice. Suddenly opening his mouth in a silent
oh, he shook his head, letting her know there was no reason for her to correct herself. Truth be told, he hadn't even realized there had been a blunder in the first place. Perhaps a better friend would have caught on to that... but Silverpelt above, he'd just been so happy to see her happy!
His face slowly growing warm as he realized his paws were still wrapped around the smaller framed cat, Snowybreeze's forepaws flailed about as he shifted ever so slightly away, trying to give his friend a more respectful distance. True, she had been the one to initiate the hug but... he had lingered on it for far too long! And after not having been paying enough attention to even notice her small err in words! To top it all off, she was obviously exhausted! What kind of friend was he? A dreadful one, that was the kind of friend he was! Gratefully, he had the means to fix it this time. Once he told Berryfrost that the giant nest they had picked for him in the perfect spot was for her, she could instantly fall asleep. And with more than enough room to move! Plus, it had his gift inside, as well! Yes, this was most certainly the way to make up for his rudeness so early in morning!
Whiskers twitching at her question, the tom took one massive paw to his chin before responding,
"Warriorhood? It sounds right, I think? Of course, if it sounds right to me, it might just be warriorness or something along those lines."
A rumbling purr escaped the tom at this, knowing full well he tended to be wrong more often than not. Perhaps he could ask one of the other warriors? Then he would be able to answer Berryfrost without doubt! Of course, there was the matter of somehow being able to sneak a question like that into a conversation without coming across as the rudest tom ever, interrupting someone's day just to ask for information he probably should already have known. Not that he faulted Berryfrost for asking. She had been so busy at the end of her apprenticeship! No matter, he would find a way to find her answer for her! But first... the gifts. Eyes shining with unbridled hope as he gazed down at his best friend, Snowybreeze tilted his head questioningly, his paws shuffling with a mixture of excitement and nerves.
"I... I know you are tired but... I have a surprise planned for you, if you would like it? To celebrate your first day in the warrior's den! I... I left it right by... right by your nest," the tom mewed in a soft voice, a light tremor in it being the only hint as to his enthusiasm while he struggled to keep a polite composure. It would not do to be rude and overbearing as he had been just moments ago all over again, after all.
