It was true that Polypaw was fairly known in RiverClan and that wasn't what bothered her. It bothered her that she had been an apprentice under Rootlegs and Chasingcomets for nearly a moon and hadn't spoken with her deputy or even the leader yet. Nightstar could be intimidating and Polypaw embarrassingly didn't know very much about her. She didn't know much about Twistedtail either but from what she understood, the woman had temporarily stepped down from deputy, leaving Bearthroat in her place. The girl sighed as she stepped out of the medicine den, her scarred body smelling of dried herbs. She didn't know Bearthroat but she'd known somebody like him once. Chasingcomets had been her friend briefly, before the ThunderBlood raid and then his absences pushed her away. She shook her head fiercely, clearing all of these meandering thoughts and focusing on looking for the large handsome tom.
When she spots him, she pads over somewhat nervously, fluffing out her own coat at the cold. "I know this is kind of out of the blue but I'm training to be a medicine cat. I just realized I haven't gotten a chance to speak to our leader or deputy and ergh." She looked down at her paws. She sounded so awkward, like a kit stumbling over her own words.
"I just think it's important I get to know you and Nightstar. You're both my leaders and hopefully one day I'll be figuring out prophecies for you two. I just don't want to be a stranger when that day comes but I'm not really good at first impressions."
