a name said a lot about someone.
some said the obvious. brown-'s were brown. sun-'s were golden. blind-'s were blind, and one-'s were missing something. others said the less obvious, the things you had to know someone to understand. the -dawn's had hope, the -heart's had loyalty, and the -claw's had drive. then, there were those who didn't live up to their name, like babblingpaw.
she'd been named for a babbling brook. strong, peaceful, consistent. but many took her name for meaning chatty, foolish. they expected her to have a loud mouth and plenty to spill. on the contrary, babblingpaw was quiet, calm. she was a steady river that never changed, she was soft spoken and intelligent. she didn't take the world, or anyone, at face value. she was a babbling brook, not a babbling girl. a torrent of calm, not chaos.
the sun was setting, her clanmates, for the most part, were settling in for the night. and babblingpaw had taken a seat beside the apprentices den, watching the sunset with a look of peace, yet dull boredom.
