WELCOME TO WINDCLAN! (Mint+Koi+Moth)

K O I P A W

Needless to say, Koipaw felt a little awkward about... everything, really.

The day had started with the whole Cinderspark-becoming-ill situation. That was awkward because it reminded Koipaw of her somewhat secret desire  to be a medicine cat ('somewhat' because she did sometimes get caught looking longingly at Sunnystep and Spottedpaw as they carried out their duties). Next was her outing with Mintpaw, which she supposed was nice, but again it was awkward. Why? Because she realised she might be developing feelings for her close friend. She sighed. It would probably be best to push that revelation to the back of her mind for now.

Thirdly, a newcomer had come to join WindClan. Mothpaw: a nonbinary cat who practically radiated sass and probably wouldn't like Koipaw simply for lacking confidence (or at least that's what she assumed). Then, to her utter mortification, she'd overheard an elder use the wrong pronouns for the new feline. She'd swallowed her fear and attempted to quietly correct the old tom but he'd either elected to ignore her or simply didn't hear her speak.. Either way, she was too flustered to try again.

And now this: giving the stranger a tour around camp.

Koipaw managed a soft smile to the cat as Mintpaw introduced them, but quickly averted her stare again. She didn't know them, didn't trust them - they could be a murderer or something! But Mintpaw wanted to be friends and she couldn't leave her with them.

Koipaw cringed when Mintpaw bumped into Mothpaw, second-hand embarrassment making her cheeks burn despite the leafbare chill. She was quickly spiralling into a pit of dismay, but outwardly she looked how she always did: twitchy.

Maybe I could just stay quiet and they'll ignore me- Almost as soon as she thought it, Mintpaw brought her in to the conversation. Koipaw looked to the black-and-white apprentice in alarm, frankly quite appalled that the other female had asked her to chime in. 

"W-well, the apprentice den would probably be the most important since that's where they'll spend most of their time in camp, and we can help them pick out a nest if they'd like," it might have been considered rude, but Koipaw found she was unable to address the golden apprentice directly. Instead, she spoke about them in third person as if they weren't with the two clan-born cats, her gaze fixed firmly on her paws.
