Purring brightly at her words, "Great!!! I'd love to help out...and it's kinda my job now" Daisypaw joked, though her joke seemed to have a gentle hint of negatives in it. Pushing the thoughts away Daisypaw felt Willowtails unnaturally long tail brush her blank. "Willow" Daisypaw purred. Turning to Willowtail as her sister placed her muzzle on Daisypaws ears. "I'm proud of your Days. Do good." Willowtail purred, by day her words had been getting a bit motherly. Willowtail sat down gently, a small grunt escaping her as she looked at Stagheart. Her shoulder gently brushing him. Willowtail looked at Staheart and Berryshine. Willowtail nudged Daisypaw proudly, "You've grown a lot...were all very proud of you. And I promise were all going to be the first to say your warrior name" Willowtail meowed gently, the motherly tone returning.
Daisypaw looked at Willowtail, "Im not your kit" Daisypaw pouted, letting the amusement in her gaze show as she walked past Berryshine. "Shes kinda old now~" Daisypw teased as Willowtail was the oldest of the girls. Seeing Willowtails scowls Daisypaw purred. "Stagheart, " Daisypaw mewed. Looking outside. "Let's go. I'm gonna be the best Caretaker ever! Oh wait. I have to be" Daisypaw purred. Seeing Willowtail roll her eyes at Daisypaw and her sassy antics. "Get outta here before I scold you like a kit to"

Stagheart snorted at himself as Daisypaw teased him; of course Willowtail was in the nursery. She'd moved in there after announcing her pregnancy. He still wasn't used to that. He watched as Daisy responded mostly positively to Berryshine, although he could detect that faint hint of bitterness, which panged his heart. Of course part of the she-cat would always want to have become a warrior or something else, but StarClan hadn't decreed it to be. He flicked her shoulder encouragingly, a small bit of comfort as he listened to the other she-cats go back and forth.

Berryshine had also caught onto the slight bitterness, but decided not to say anything about it. She didn't want to ruin the moment, and knew that it was only natural after the cards that Daisypaw had been dealt. But she did snicker as Daisy called Willowtail 'old', and when she declared she had to be the best Caretaker; she was the only one, after all.

"You'll be making history," Berryshine half-joked, giving Daisypaw a purr and giving an amused glance to Willowtail. Technically, it was true — Daisy's new role in the Clan could open up future possibilities for other cats like her, ones who might not be able to become a warrior due to their ailments, yet could still prove a use to their Clan. "Good luck!" She called as Stagheart rose to his paws, gently nudging Daisypaw with him.

"Alright, kid, c'mon — let's get to it. We'll run through the expectations first that Owlstar told me." He gave a warm blink to Willowtail and Berryshine, nodding his head in farewell to them for now, then headed back to the clearing. There were a few things he'd thought of, and on a snowy day like this, it at least made sense that they'd be staying in camp for most of it. Clearing some of the powdery flakes from the stones around them, he settled down on his haunches, waiting for his apprentice to waddle her way over.

"Now, I know there's been a lot goin' on these past few moons, so the answer is likely nothin'. But I always go over what my 'pprentices know 'n don't know just so I can figure a good place to start." Although this wasn't warrior training, and they'd be mostly focusing on what Daisypaw would be doing in camp today, Stagheart also bore in mind Owlstar's offer to help train Daisypaw on some other things such as self-defense, and wanted to see if the younger cat had any sort of experience from events or otherwise. "So, tell me whatcha know. 'N if it's nothin', that's fine. But have ya gotten any training on anythin' before? 'N how'd it go if so?"
