BREAD MAKES YOU FAT ☆ o, apprentice ceremonies

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

As always, Tree responded to an incoming situation with optimism and excitement – once he realized what was happening – a fact that caused Rhinestone to grin. Also as always, Quasar reacted to the situation with boldness and a bit of a foul mouth, causing Rhine to simply chuckle and shake his head. Smiling down at the both of them, he was quick to reassure them, "Don't worry, the both of you are free to keep your names as they are. If either of you had requested apprentice names, I would've been happy to give them, but I figured you were pretty comfortable with what you have now." Rhine honestly didn't mind the both of them keeping their current names, even if it did earn him a bit of a glare from some of the more traditional members of the group. He just shook their sharp looks off for now, continuing, "As for mentors... well. First, I would like to assign myself as your mentor, Tree. I hope that I can pass down all that I know to you, and be a mentor that you can be proud of." The thought of being a mentor again kind of terrified him, but it excited him as well, especially considering he'd be teaching his own son.

Turning towards both Quasar and Vaas, he then continued with a low and warm chuckle, "As for you, Quasar... I'm going to be assigning Vaas as your mentor. Vaas, I hope that you can pass off all that you know to Quasar, as you have proven yourself a capable and proud warrior of Palmclan, and I trust you." He then dipped his head to the tiger, leaping down from atop the meeting rock to head over to Tree. He leaned down to touch his nose to the newly apprenticed-pup's, feeling an immense glow of pride in his chest. He then flicked his tail for Vaas and Quasar to do the same, as was customary of the ceremony. Even if Rhine didn't stick to all of the set traditions within Palmclan, there were plenty he did still respect, and the apprentice ceremony was one of them.
