Treatment continued. She had to grit her teeth against the dull pain of her paw being set straight. Then, Lightningpaw took over from the medicine cat. It wasn't the most reassuring, seemingly being a test subject, but who was she to judge? Hailpaw knew nearly nothing about herbs, in fact, she knew nothing about the matter, as opposed to Lightningpaw... For once in her life she had to trust the cat knew what she was doing, and that the other would step in as soon as something might go wrong.

Even when the medicine cat apprentice had to get up close and personal, much to her other apprentice's dismay, Hailpaw bit her tongue and kept quiet, tensely letting the calico keep working on her facial wounds, only shamefully flinching at the occasional touch. She didn't like all this, but it was better than getting infected and dying, she supposed. She couldn't be that easy to kill, after all.

Twilightstar spoke, and with more hope than she'd like to admit did her ears turn the leader's way. She allowed it... Twilightstar respected her decision to deny an instant warrior name and accepted her request to be once again known as Silverpaw. Her rightful name. She felt... Surprised, almost, but some part of her was grateful all the same. She was in her clan, in her home, and she could forget all about Weaselskip's betrayal.

Silverpaw swallowed, paws itching to move but she forced them still, a tingle of nerves running down her spine. Listening to the leader, she gave a slow nod after Lightningpaw had hopefully given her some space.
"...I would appreciate that greatly."
The silver apprentice politely replied with a slow nod, eyes resting on the leader's paws before lifting to catch a glimpse of her face.

So much had happened... So much ought to have changed. It felt like she'd been gone for a lifetime. Turning Cowtuft's and Lightningpaw's ways, she silently wondered if this whole touchy business was done, and if she could leave.


[ @Moonraven @wolfie @Alchemist Kitsune - Thank you!! And sorry about the sudden name change request, it just wouldn't have made sense for her not to ask it ahah ]
