Sapphire
she/her || grey pelt and dark blue eyes

She didn't actually know where she was, but she supposed that was the point. Another family game, and this one was even stranger than the last: Father had taken her out to an insanely far away spot, and she had to navigate home. She sighed. Really, she was far too old for these games. But the new litter seemed to enjoy them, especially if she played, so there really was no choice in the matter. Sapphire wandered around, not wanting to go home just yet. She also didn't remember how to get there, so whatever.

Sapphire stopped dead. She'd just heard a meow somewhere ahead of her. For a moment her ears laid flat and the fur along her spine rose, but she diffused the reaction. The cat who had spoken didn't sound very hostile. She waited for beat, considering, and then she decided that she could use some friends outside of her siblings.

"Hello," she purred in her best Please Make A Good First Impression voice as she carefully leaped over the bushes that blocked the other cat from sight. Beyond the bushes was an open clearing, so it didn't take Sapphire long to locate the other she-cat. "Sorry if I'm intruding, ma'am," she said politely, dipping her head.

Sapphire smiled, scampering over to sit next to the she-cat. "Oh! Well, my name is Sapphire," she said, remembering to sit up straight just as Mother had taught her. "What might yours be?"

Sapphire blinked a few times, surprised. No name? Then what did her parents call her? She shook her head. That just wouldn't do, no no no. She would give the odd she-cat a name. Sapphire looked her up and down, then thought for a moment before blurting excitedly, "Sophie!" And then she scrambled and pressed her tail over her mouth, shocked that she'd said something so rudely. "Ehm, I meant," she began, slowly and quietly, removing her tail and curling it around her paws, "would me calling you Sophie be alright?"

Sapphire grinned. "Wonderful!" she purred, relieved that Sophie liked the name.

Sapphire shrugged. "It's a game," she began quickly, ready to explain, "that my Father made up," she said. "He takes me and my siblings out to a random spot far away from home and we have to navigate back," by now she was barely stopping for breath, "so it's kind of like training but a game? If that makes sense? Probably not, I dunno, I don't really like it, but my little siblings do, so I always play with them. We play a new game every day, like tag, or hide & seek or whatever, and the winner gets a prize-" Sapphire was getting dizzy and had to stop to take an enormous breath.

Sapphire giggled lightly. "My dad says that sometimes," she informs Sophie.

Sapphire nods. "So why are you all the way out here?" she asks, tilting her head curiously.
