PepperBounce had arrived late to the meeting. One quick glance up and he felt his stomach drop, why wasn’t BirdSnow up there? It took him more then a moment to catch on to what exactly was happening and thunderstorm of emotions strikes him. BirdSnow stepped down? Some cat was not meant to be here- less surprising but still brought a miniature wave of shock. And he was given an apprentiice.
Given.. an apprentice? Well, that thunderstorm was about to feel pretty pathetic at the pure horror he held knowing that he’d be responsible for some cats future. Whether or not they actually get themselves trained was up to him and it was shattering to feel all that weight on him as if a particularly heavy stone had been slammed onto him and left there. He more then knew that it wasn’t the smartest thing to look gobsmacked in public at such an everyday occurrence but who was to blame him? He only hed no worthy skill and couldn’t fight if his life was at stake. Oh! And to add on, he was physically incapable of teaching! He could barely get past the thought of training someone and know he’d have to. Great. ‘Starclan’ sure loves shoving things in his face at the worst times.
At the very least he found himself seafching for GoldFish to give his congratulations on terms of getting an apprentice, although he did hope it didn’t weigh too much on her loss of her last apprentice. PepperBounce connected the dots and realised if he wasn’t careful he’d be responsible for a defective apprentice and their death. Couldn’t getting someone to train get at least goven to someone else? Of course it’s not as if he could simply.. deny having an apprentice. Okay. Get yourself together Pepper! You’re only going to ruin some youths life and your reputation it can’t be that bad. His attempt to find GoldFish abandoned he instead searched for the apprentice he was meant to train. What if everything went sour and he ended up neglecting their training? Stars that’d look horrible in him but it would only stomp him down more- was it better to fail or to avoid failure?
( @ blxze. Just mentioning ya incase goldfish wants to interact with pepper bout the whole apprentice thing ) ( @ SentimentalSquid tagging ya on account of berrypaw! Apologies if this is the wrong person^^)

GarlicFeather listened on and did feel a slight stab of embarrassment he hadn’t noticed that ThunderChaser wasn’t meant to be here, but that wasn’t his job to feel guilty about. Along with guilt he felt an ittby bitty swell of pride from his judgement of the warrior and stretched out as he listened to the rest, reassignments.. some hairball got a new apprentice.. GarlicFeather paused his stretch to glance around. That stinkin’ rat of a cat had gotten an apprentice? Yikes, stars save whomever it was that was stuck with. And he could bet his life that they’d be facing some quivering incapable mentor, perhaps the mix of anger and pity weren’t the best but nonetheless what else was he to do? Simply accept it? Yeah, sounded ‘bout right. He purposefully made his way over and muttered a quiet congratulations before slinking away. Not even the stars could cure his hatred of that sniffling furballl.

Berrypaw was still in a worrisome daze when she heard Fadingsun say her name. Her attention snapped at just the last second to hear her new mentor being stated.
Pepperbounce.
The timid apprentice looked around nervously. She didn't know who that was, but as she watched other apprentices all walk towards their mentors... there was one other cat that stuck out to her, looking equally as shaken as her.
Must be him...?
Berrypaw glanced at Stagheart, her founded-father of sorts. He gave a smile and nodded to her encouragingly. She took a deep breath and nodded back. He was always there for her to fall back on — without it, the young she-cat might as well have succumbed to her worries by now.
Shyly, Berrypaw padded towards the warrior.
"H...Hi, I'm Berrypaw," she mewed, having to gather up her courage to speak. She felt a twinge of anxiety at his expression and clear shock — was he upset that she was his apprentice? She'd only been training a short time, but it was no surprise that she tended to be more fearful and anxious than many. Or maybe he was hesitant because she'd been born as an outsider, taken in here as a helpless kit? StarClan knows not everyone was keen to take on somebody who wasn't Clanborn.
All of these thoughts flashed through her mind as she looked up at her newly-assigned mentor, tensely waiting for his response.

Fritter it sounds like we both have anxious/overthinking kitties, this dynamic should be fun LOL
