Eclipsekit's head snapped up so fast it would have flown off of her body if it weren't attached to her neck. Her eyes were wide, though this time not with fear, but with excitement and delight. "I love games! Do you want to play mossball with me?" She squealed jumping to her paws and nearly crushing the mossball she had already prepared.

“I’d love to play mossball with you, little one.” Newtpaw said with a gentle purr rumbling in her throat. The young apprentice was glad that the awkward first encounter had passed and the delight of the mention of play brought the kitten such glee before her. Now that she thought about it, none of the kittens in the nursery that she grew up with really played with her, thinking she was weird because of her short legs and just avoiding her because of the rumors that went around about her mother who died after she was born. Shaking her head, the brown-furred munchin drew away from her own childhood and became more focused on spending time with her mentor’s kit. Standing up, Newtpaw walked a little bit aways from Eclipsekit and sat down, letting a space go between them as she smiled. “Toss the mossball to me and I’ll toss it back.” The apprentice mewed, realizing that this was her first time playing with a mossball.
