Cottonkit stirred in her slumber: her nose would twitch and her paws would fidget, and she'd shuffle as if she was chasing after a mouse or rabbit.

Otherwise, however, she was quiet. The long fur that rose from her small body brushed against the fluffy nest in the nursery, and she slept soundly.

my first post--hi there! establishing cottonkits existence in the nursery, haha.

She trailed off, looking past the entry to the nursery. The forest was lush and green; it seemed like a perfect day to be up and about. Even if they couldn't stray far from the nursery, they could still try their best to enjoy it.

Cottonkit groaned at the attempt her sister made to wake her up. Time to get up, her tired brain registered. Already sunhigh. When the incessant nudging stopped, Cottonkit nearly sunk back into unconsciousness. However, the girl flicked her short tail and wiggled her toes in an attempt to wake her body up. Slowly opening one eye, her pupils dilated as she adjusted to the afternoon light. "Okay, okay..." she huffed. "I'm up." Propping herself up-right, Cottonkit sat back on her haunches.

She sniffed, ears flicking as she blinked in a lizard-like manner. Cottonkit looked in the direction that her sister was, taking notice of how sunny and green the camp looked today. Perhaps she was woken up for good reason. Cottonkit would wait for her sister to suggest something, and if she didn't, then she'd gladly speak up about playing 'catch the rabbit'--the kitty-cat version of tag--or mossball... or maybe even hide-and-seek..!

The pale kitten was still adjusting to the rude awakening, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment and then opening them wide. Her sister began speaking again, and Cottonkit swivelled her head towards her, listening intently despite her--thankfully now wavering--exhaustion.

A new game, Havenkit said. Clan leader. The game sounded interesting the more Cottonkit listened to the basic explanation. She'd be the leader, and Havenkit would be a warrior, and they would do basic clan-cat stuff, except Cottonkit was in charge. "Like Bumblestar?" She mewed. Cottonkit didn't see the Thunderclan leader around a lot, due to being confined to the nursery for the most part, but she heard whispers and she knew the name. "Um... sure, why not? I'll play."

Cottonkit puffed out her chest, adjusting her paws and sitting up tall and straight. She took in a deep-breath, repeating a mantra in her head: What would Bumblestar do? What would Bumblestar do? But nothing came to her. "Uhhh..." She hummed to herself. "Okay, um, Haven... Wait, what would your warrior name be? Or would I have to decide since I'm supposed to be the leader? Oh--and also does that mean you'll call me Cottonstar?" She needed just a tiny bit of info before they could start playing Havenkit's leader-warrior game. Cottonkit wanted to get it perfect!
