Birchpaw eagerly jumped from rock to rock until he was at the ground level of their cliff-side camp. He glanced over his shoulder. He was excited to go out. He had been in the camp all day, it seemed.
He and his mentor, Fawnheart, had patrolled together before, but they had another warrior, Cinnamonpelt, going with them this time. He hadn't talked to her much, so he was eager to meet someone new now.
New friends, new chance to explore. Birchpaw was happy.
