As the bundle of grey and black fur bounded over to her. Eversong's eyes went wide with surprise. Surprised that it had actually been Silentpaw and surprise that she was so happy to see her. As the apprentice pushed up against her Eversong gave her daughter a few gentle licks on her forehead. Though she was confused as to why the young cat was out here. She also felt a sinking feeling in her chest as the youngster gave her praise and affection, thinking it was her who'd noticed she was gone. As much as she despised Iceclaw she couldn't take the credit. She cleared he throat and began, her voice low and filled with shame.
"It was your father who noticed first." Her ears flipping back as she spoke, she hated to be saying it and it showed in her voice. "We came to find you straight away. I don't understand though, why did you leave Silentpaw?" She asked, looking down at the daughter. The wide blue eyes of the apprentice always made her uneasy. Though sometimes Eversong wished that she lived in the darkness as well.
