Tinykit listened as Lionstar spoke of the former medicine cat. He still didn't know what a medicine cat was and perhaps later on he would find out what they were. The kitten snuck across the clearing to get over to the other side. Tinykit didn't know if he would get into any trouble being here at the meeting.

Ravenkit watched Tinykit sneak across the clearing. "Hey! Whatcha doing?" she whispered.

Tinykit looked over at Ravenkit as she talked to him. There were voices in his head, but they weren't as loud as they normally were, so they weren't bothering him. "I'm making sure I don't get caught at the meeting.", he meowed. Tinykit saw something move in the corner of his eye. There was no cat scent and nothing was there. Oh no it was happening again.

Ravenkit blinked "Oooh" she whispered. "Don't worry. I won't tell" Ravenkit watched Tinykit glance at something on the other side of camp. "What are you looking at?" she meowed. @Sparkling Flower

Tinykit looked at Ravenkit. "I thought I saw something over there." , he meowed. He didn't want to tell her that it was just a hallucination. He didn't want her to leave. Tinykit had only talked to one other cat besides his adopted father Bumblebelly.

Otterstone got up, face determined, eyes locked on Lionstar as she weaves through the crowd. The tortoiseshell’s golden gaze didn’t move from the the huge yellow leader. She stopped at the bottom of the rock, almost to where she had to have her neck cranked back to keep her eyes on Lionstar. She didn’t say anything, her eyes wide and waiting. Every muscle was rigid, and it seemed like she wasn’t even breathing.
She had tried to keep a brave face since the gathering, but she was scared of her time to come, and this new name was the opener for all of it. Her eyes betrayed flashes of her fear, but mostly it was hidden.
He was respectful as he called her up. That was a good sign, nothing negative had been said and she hoped it meant good.

Ravenkit watched Otterstone get up and walk over to the Streamstone. "I wonder what Otterstone's new name is gonna be" she commented to Tinykit. Ravenkit suddenly remembered the other reason she was so excited. "Hey guess what? Today is my apprentice ceremony too!" she meowed quietly, her blue eyes glittering. "I hope I get a good mentor!" @Sparkling Flower
Well, she was a lot more composed than he expected. Tense, but for once in the past few moons she didn't look crazy. Lionstar supposed that was good.
And look at that, she was one of the few cats who came up within a heartbeat. Impressive!
"Otterstone, I know we both agree that your current name no longer suits who you have become.
"When I originally changed your name, I had been under the impression you didn't have a name prior to the one you received as Otterleg." He quirked his brow at her. "I wish you had told me sooner.
"I am restoring the name that was unfairly and cruelly taken from you. I never cared for name changes to illustrate injuries: they do not reflect who that cat is.
"From this day forth, you will again be known as Otterstrike. You were a valiant and powerful warrior once, and I hope you can prove yourself to be invaluable in your reclaimed position. You have big pawprints to fill, Otterstrike-- don't sink yourself before you have the chance to float."
Hopefully, she'd catch the hint. Lionstar expected her to flourish as a warrior.. without the self-sabotage she held as a medicine cat.
