Mothwing's waiting for Galahad to come to her den for his lesson today when she hears leaves rustling. She pokes her head out and sees a young white tom crashing inexpertly through the nearby vegetation in pursuit of some kind of small prey. If she hadn't recognized his collar, she'd know him by scent: it's Galahad.
Joy and surprise battle each other. Part of her hadn't believed that Janet could actually do something as extreme as turning a twoleg into a cat; it's a big leap beyond the cat magic she's seen. Another part of her feels enormous relief to see a cat that she knows, at long last. Regina, Charlotte and Angus are fine acquaintances, but none of them would be Clan cats, even if there were a Clan to join in this odd place. Galahad, on the other paw, is her apprentice, and finally looks the part.
"Galahad!" she meows, trotting out of her den to meet him. "Wow!"
