Jaykit

Cold, that was how the young she-cat was feeling this morning as she awoke from her slumber. Normally someone would have nudged her to wake her by now but she was glad to sleep in, She wouldn't have many more days like that would she? Truthfully she didn't really know seeing as she and her siblings would become apprentices soon. Her muzzle parted as she yawned without out much sound before uncurling and standing on all four paws, blinking the sleep from her aquamarine optics. What to do now?

It was then that her gaze looked around her for anyone at all to play with. Cloudyfeather wasn't present at the time and it was even harder to tell where Batchaser was. Hmm. Then she began moving. It seemed like everyone was outside! Lightly her paws carried her to the exit of the nursery where she ran into one of the other kits, not on purpose but simply because the tom was running so fast she had little time to react so she stumbled before landing on her side. Annoyance filtered through her as she recognized him as the kit of that one kind of crazy scary she-cat. Oh what was her name... Morningfrost. Of course!  She didn't really spend much time around her kits: Dawnkit, and Eaglekit. but she did often find herself watching them out of curiosity. She sat up tail twitching as her blue gaze stared at the young cat hoping he would just apologize and she wouldn't feel the need to try to demand one. Forcing her to communicate with him.


_Eaglekit

Despite the cold Eaglekit had been up early learning and training and certainly trying his best to keep warm. Here he was running around and by now he had built up a little bit of endurance so he wasn't tiring nearly as easy as the other kits. He couldn't wait for his apprenticeship, He would easily beat out his sister in any sort of contest but his brothers? That was a whole different thing. It was much more clear to him that his mother preferred him over his sister but when it came to his older siblings he felt as though he could be better then them if given the chance. Unfortunately that wouldn't be possible until he was at least an apprentice.

Harestrike was going to be his biggest problem, he was strong and from what he heard a fierce fighter and at least a decent hunter. And that's exactly why the tom spent little time with him and it frustrated Eaglekit that he seemed to think he was so far above them.  Thrushwhisker on the other hand at least taught them things sometimes. He could even put up with Dawnkit, a feat the young tom often found challenging. 

Now? Oh right, he was running once more only this time into the nursery looking for a place to hide from his thorn in the side sibling until he could sneak up on a unsuspecting cat and scary the mice out of their fur. Unfortunetly he didn't account on Jaykit turning the corner so he slammed straight into her knocking her over and nearly landing on his face himself. He caught himself though and instead stood next to the she-kit his gaze glancing at her to notice she was staring. What in the world was with her? His mind contemplated on apologizing or just moving. Clearly she hadn't been paying attention to where she had been going either or she would have gotten out of his way. So he opted for the latter and simply ducked around the corner and sat next to the den wall away from the exit with his back towards her.

Dappledheather

Dappledheather found herself pleasently unbothered by the morning air. It felt crisp in her mouth, and tickled her throat as she puffed a testing breath. Yet her fur, ever helpful, kept the warmth in that she had felt from sleeping in the warrior's den. As she exited the den, a smile appeared. Kits had appeared outside the nursery, looking a bit lost as how to start their days. She laughed quietly to herself. These kits, unlike her childhood, would have more time to play outside their den. As much fun as the snow was to frolick in, the overwhelming sickness made the outside seem much larger than it actually would. The molly meandered her way over to the den, spotting a funny little collision, then the awkward interaction.
"Are you alright little one?" She asked Jaykit, uncertain how the she-kit had reacted to almost being run into. As for the other one, he appeared to have run off. No matter, Dappledheather thought, he'll come around and want a play-mate I'm sure.

Jaykit was startled by the older feline as she spoke asking her if she was alright. Her head snapped from the young tom to the she-cat and she only gave a small nod before scrambling to her paws as her gaze fell to the dirt. Her ears laid back as she her eyes flickered up to the she-cat then back to the ground unsure of herself as her thoughts raced. How do you tell someone you can't speak? Or carry on much of a conversation at all? Or maybe the calico she-cat would think she was just being weird. Whatever the case Jaykit was beginning to stress over the whole situation. If only that darn tom had been watching where he was going then she wouldn't be in this awkward situation in the first place! Slowly the dilute she-kit glanced herself over double checking for any injuries but only coming to realize her once nicely groomed pelt was now just a cluster of dirt again.

DAPPLEDHEATHER

The warrior frowned in confusion at the lack of response, silently cursing herself for not paying more attention. Did the she-kit get hurt, or was she just shy? Crouching to be more on level with the young cat, Dappledheather aimed to give her a soft and comforting look. "It's okay!" She said with gentle words. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Do you need help with anything? I can go find the other kit for you while you get cleaned up." It felt weird to offer her help as a cleaner when she didn't even know the kit. Again, the warrior silently sighed to herself. Usually she was so good at knowing what new life there was in Lightningclan, but with the fire and with the sudden abundance of kits, she had fallen behind. No time like the present! She thought with a cheery tail wag.

Sitting back up, Dappledheather glanced around the clearing, hoping to spot the other kit who had run off. Maybe with the pair of them she could get a game going, something that could let the she-kit in front of her feel more comfortable.

Jaykit

The frown that appeared on the muzzle of the older feline allowed Jaykit's ears to fall back and pin against her head. Was this what it would be like with every cat in the clan? She sure hoped not. She wasn't completely helpless, unlike what she felt the others thought.

"It's okay!"

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Do you need help with anything? I can go find the other kit for you while you get cleaned up."

The dilute she-cat mostly just stared at the older she-cat confusion swimming in her blue eyes. Warriors hardly ever lowered themselves to a kit's level. Most who did were parents but Jaykit couldn't recall seeing this cat before. Maybe just a few flashes from the clan as it fled the fire that had burnt their home to ash. Even now with the rebuild of the camp Jaykit couldn't help but find herself sometimes stopping and watching as the flames danced in her head only to disappear in the blink of an eye. Instead the she-kit shook her head that she didn't need help and began to lap away at her pelt. Allowing the older feline time to find that scoundrel so she could properly bat some sense into him.



Eaglekit



He had been waiting forever yet no one came. So he after a considerable amount of time he wearily exited the nursery. He was expecting to see his sibling chasing her own tail in circles but instead didn't see her anywhere. Instead he could only watch from a distance as a warrior was speaking to Jaykit, or he thought that was what her name was. Truthfully he really didn't know since she never said anything. Like Never said anything. Pretty weird. So now he was just standing there trying his best to find something to do. No way would he ever go looking for Dawnkit. Besides she was probably sneaking out to follow Thrushwhisker again and get into trouble. At that rate she was bound to have her apprenticeship delayed. So with a yawn of boredom the young tom stretched his muscles and allowed his unsheathed claws to scratch the earth.

DAPPLEDHEATHER

Given permission to leave the small kit to clean herself, Dappledheather stood up. She gave a brief nod to show she was coming back, then trotted around the nursery. Her nose scented the air for the second kit she had seen. He was close by, she knew that much. Do kits play hide and seek often? She wondered to herself, reflecting back on her own kithood. There hadn’t been much to explore she realized. It had been more fun to play with her parents, or find little moss balls to throw around instead.

Dappledheather almost stepped on the kit in her search. He had appeared, from the nursery is looked like. “Hello little one!” She said with a little wave of her tail. “I think the she-kit out front would like a little playmate. We can play badger or climb the mountain together.” Her fur was thick, a treat in the colder months, and the warrior knew it would be perfect for little kit claws to latch onto without hurting her skin underneath.
