BREAD MAKES YOU FAT ☆ o, apprentice ceremonies

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

This was really long overdue, if Rhinestone really thought about it. Both Quasar and Tree were of age, and it made sense that they would both receive apprentice ceremonies, as was tradition. After all, couldn't just have them wandering around aimlessly, without anyone to teach them. Despite this, the ceremonies hadn't happened yet, mainly because Rhine had been so stressed out. With everything going on, including Medusa's incident, Halloween events, and a coming storm... it was easy to let things slip through the cracks. However, he was no longer willing to let this remain undone. So, once the afternoon approached and the camp was bustling with activity, the tom leaped high atop the meeting rock, turning and looking at the crowd. A few had already begun to gather, knowing that something was going on. Rhine found himself smiling slightly at this, chuckling before he called out, "Everyone, please gather around! We have a couple of apprentice ceremonies that have gone long overdue, mainly because of my own business. However, I will no longer allow this to continue on without us honoring the new apprentices among us." His pale gaze then searched through the crowd, looking for the pair of brothers that no doubt knew he was talking about them.

Once he had found them, he continued on, his long tail flicking behind him as he began the usual ceremony involved, "[member=16276]quasar[/member], [member=16348]tree.[/member] Will the two of you please step forward? The both of you have reached the age of six months, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day forth, until you have mastered both combat and all forms of prey hunting and earned your positions as warriors, you will be known as apprentices. Are the two of you ready for that responsibility?" He would then wait for them both to answer, a hopeful and proud little gleam in the rust red tom's eyes. Quasar and Tree were only the second and third apprentices he had ever been able to do the ceremony for, and he had a very personal investment in them, considering they were his sons. He was undeniably emotional, even if he was trying to remain professional looking.

( obviously retro to the snow storm / [member=16248]VAAS .[/member] since he'll be mentoring Quasar )
