Padding out of Treeclan territory she kept her pace steady but her mind raced with so many things. She almost forgot she was going to moon tree for a cat she barely knew, brought into the clan, showed her leader and now told herself this cat had a gift. What if she was wrong.. What if starclan.. No. That won't happen! Spottedfeather would make sure it doesnt happen.

Slowing her pace she realized she needed to calm down. She needed help back home and no one else was showing any interest in being a medicine cat apprentice. She didn't see it in any cat. Yet she saw it in this tom. She looked back at her soon to be apprentice and asked, Everything okay back there?''

Walking out of the camp Elder realized that his whole life was changing. Just yesterday he was a loner who thought he would be alone forever. Now he was traveling to some place that would dictate if he would become an apprentice or not. He tripped over a stick, and stumbled a bit. He wondered if Spottedfeather had noticed, but just kept it to himself. After he recovered he started to think about the Moon Tree, and became immersed in thought.

Lost in thought, Elder heard Spottedfeather say something about being okay, but didn't catch the rest. Hoping it wasn't too big of a deal, he caught up with Spottedfeather and wondered what he should say. He decided to say, "I am okay. How long will this take us? I am very excited to see this tree." He looked expectantly at her, and tried to keep up with her pace. Elder was used to not being in a rush to get anywhere, so the pace was quicker than he was used to. He swtiched his focus back to the ground, just in case there was another stick.

Spottedfeather kept her intentions on only starclan and this trip. She heard the loners answer and mewed, ''At least a day, but if we keep this up we might be there sooner..'' She game a smile at the second comment Elder made and mewed, "It is pretty cool when you see it for the first time.. other then that you just get use to it. I remember the first time I saw the Moon Tree I was speechless I think for seconds..'' Trotting over a stick she decided to slow down her pace and forgot why she was in a hurry. Yes she did have apprentices back at camp that needed her but this was why she needed Elder. To help her.. now did she have time to teach and take care of cats at the same time? Who knew.

Keeping his eyes on the ground he listened  to Spottedfeather respond to his question. Elder's head snapped up when he heard it would take a day. He had not thought that it would take a day. Elder figured that it would take a while, but a day would be a long time to walk. So thats what those herbs were for! That make since. Still... Will they las the whole time? He flicked his eyes down to the ground just in time. He almost tripped on another stick. Sighing he trudged onward to Moon Tree.

He smiled at Spottedfeather as she described her first sight of Moon Tree, and his anticipation grew. Excited he started to pick up his pace, and noticed that to his surprise, Spottedfeather had slowed down. He slowed his pace again. Wondering about the sudden change in pace he said, "Is everything ok? You suddenly slowed down."
