He could already feel the warmth starting to spread from his fur as Nightholly rested his tail on his shoulder. Eaglegaze stepped back, acting as if he wasn't doing it intentionally, and collected himself in the moment before he responded.
"Whitepaw is going to become the most accomplished medicine cat of the age! Pretty soon, I'll be the apprentice instead..." He laughed quickly after he spoke, releasing some of the nervous energy that was building up.
Why in StarClan's name am I being like this? Maybe my food was getting stale when I ate it... Yes, that definitely must be it... Glad that Nightholly's power wasn't to be able to read minds, he smiled and bumped her shoulder with a paw.
"Maybe I should have Spiritstar have you be Whitepaw's mentor instead, you're obviously much more capable." His tone of voice was lighthearted enough, but he did have doubts about his own abilities that he wasn't going to speak out loud. If things turned out that way, there was always a chance of another kit wanting to be a medicine cat, but he wasn't very positive about it. He shook the thought away as soon as he finished it. Whitepaw wouldn't want to switch, he hoped.
