4 loners join a forest where they chose to stay or leave! SNEAK PEAK!

"Oh! You startled me. You're Longwhisker, I assume?" She asked as they trotted out of camp.
"Well, you certainly are a bright one," The tom mewed sarcastically. "But yes, I am."
Mousepaw nodded, her black and white fur shining as if she had groomed it.
Suddenly, Longwhisker paused and jerked his head sideways.
"What is it?" Mousepaw whispered, not wanting to disturb any prey or enemies if they were close by.
"Sage needs her name." He growled, already heading back to the apprentice den.
"Oh-?" Mousepaw shook out her fur, rushing after him, "Why?"
Longwhisker looked surprised, "Because real warriors have real names."
"What about Cobweb?" She asked.
"He's not a real warrior." Longwhisker spat, his fur bristling.
"So, even the most evil of warriors is loyal and faithful, just because they have a "real" name?" Mousepaw pressed, still unconvinced.
"They are loyal to who they stand for." Longwhisker snarled.
"But that doesn't make any sense! Imagine they work for themselves!" Mousepaw growled.
"Sedgeblaze was a great traitor who stood for herself!" "He defended.
"Is 'traitor' a good thing, perhaps?" Mousepaw stood her ground, fur standing on her shoulders.
Longwhisker shook his head, "You will understand when you get older," He said, voice suddenly way softer.
