He was clearly trying to eat his breakfast, but every now and then the leaves would prove too interesting for this particular kitten to resist. A warrior would walk by, stepping on a leaf as they went, and just that small crunch would catch the bengal's attention, and he would leap entirely on instinct - and miss, but catch an entirely different leaf because they were everywhere. Then, he'd sit up, covered in the scraps of other pieces of 'prey,' holding his prize liked he'd just caught the biggest fish ever. Or, a small breeze would casually throw some leaves in the air, and Coast would leap for them, his mouth still full of minnow. This continued for minutes on end because of him being particularly bad at multitasking. Without his sister around to remind him to finish his meal, it was only worse. But, she had stuff to do, and Coastkit was content on being alone; he was having fun. Mid-leap for the fifth time, his stomach growled, so Coastkit slunk back to his half-eaten minnow and took ferocious bites; gulping down the food quickly now.

Then, Baykit approached... and Coastkit, with his mouth stuffed full once more, turned toward the other tom kit, but was half-distract by the leaves swirling behind him as he spoke. Impressingly, though, he caught the gist of what he was trying to say. Hi. Bay. Play? He swallowed the last bite of his meal, and then smiled, his grey-ish blue orbs lighting up with excitement. "Yeah!" The tom kit bounced on the tippy-toes of his paws, always ever-moving. "What do you wanna play???"

Baykit had always been a surprisingly big eater for his age; he was able to gobble up a minnow in record time of asked too. He was always hungry, no matter the situation. He ate when he was nervous, he ate when he was content; and yet somehow he managed to still remain thin. It had always been something of a mystery to his parents, but Baykit never put much of it to mind. He’d always been aware of Coastkit’s seemingly constantly distracted behaviour but it seemed to take even fuller effect when they were out of the Nursery. Though it made sense; there was far more out in the clearing to be distracted by, and Baykit couldn’t deny that the leaves were pretty cool. But something about Coastkit’s fleeting nature seemed comical to Baykit and he found it interesting to watch.
The tabby kit was elated to hear such an upbeat answer, having been a bit worried that the other might have been rude or mean. But at the question, Baykit realized that the whole while he was worrying about a response, he hadn’t exactly planned it out this far. “Uhm, how about... Clan Takeover? Or Find the Fish?” He offered, wanting to give his new friend a choice just in case Coastkit didn’t like one of the games.
