I feel like I got slapped in the face.
She's gorgeous.
She's grown so much since I'd last seen her.

The warrior code says strictly to isolate medicine cats from all other Clan members until their mentor passes and they become full medicine cats.
But the warrior code says nothing about running towards your sister after you haven't seen her for twenty moons.
It does, actually. Now go. Halfstar will get you for this.
We can't exchange words, but she flicks her tail in the sense that means;
"How are you?" and "I've missed you!" and "I'm sorry."

As kits, Aldergaze would teach Cinderleaf signs. Pinebreeze and I would watch her, and learn as well.
I haven't forgotten.
But Cinderleaf steps forward and gazes into my eyes.
She signs one more thing.
"I love you."
I open my mouth to reply, but a rustling noise sounds from behind me.
"Aldergaze?" I mew quietly, not turning around. Tsk tsk. I knew this would happen.
"Not quite," a deep voice replies.
Halfstar.
