“Well there’s no point to misery without joy, now is there? Just like there’s no point to beauty without brains! That last part is something that you, my friend, need to work on!”

Marshykit sat with his tail resting over his front paws, beaming. The story had not been terrible, in the russet and cream tabby tom-kit’s opinion, and he would be surprised if Shadekit had nothing good to say about it. Even if these thoughts would make him appear overconfident in himself and his storytelling abilities, looking on the bright side, they kept him motivated to be social. No matter how Shadekit reacted to his story and little lesson/moral, he was never going to stop telling stories. His clanmates could cringe and cry at the sound of his storytelling, and Marshykit would not care in the least. Shadekit was no exception, so as Marshykit awaited her response, he prepared himself for anything. Expect disappointment and one is unable to be disappointed! He thought to himself, brightly. What a wonderful world we live in! Then quietly and patiently, he continued to wait out Shadekit’s response.

Throughout Marshykit’s sea-and-Shadeshadow story, Shadekit had been a quiet listener. Even better, she had not even tried to sneak away! Marshykit had been glad for it. Yes, it just goes to show that she’s already nicer than my last story victim… Shadekit was strangely respectful. In the beginning, she had seemed to be… well, yes, anti-social, but… maybe she isn’t so bad. I suppose, again, that making assumptions is never the correct choice. Onward with the waiting, onward with patience! I will be thrilled to see her react at all… let alone happily! As the moment of silence went on, Marshykit proceeded to tap his tail tip against the ground and shift his paws restlessly. This was one of the best parts of storytelling as it was… the reaction. Whether it be a good one or a bad one, usually they were decently interesting, and Marshykit adored the anticipation of awaiting them. This was one of those moments, and as he sat, his heartbeat picked up and his mood, slowly but surely, raised.

Eventually, Shadekit’s reaction began to show itself, and Marshykit’s eyes flashed with excitment. Here we go! Did she love it? Did she hate it, despise it? Was it boring? Was it very interesting? I wonder… But then, sudden and without the slightest of warnings, Shadekit didn’t seem… happy. Just in case Shadekit being ‘not happy’ wasn’t enough description, Marshykit decided to take a quick guess and assume that the dark she-kit was angry with him. The russet and cream tabby’s eyebrows rose up, and happiness still dancing in his heterochromatic gaze, he stared at his denmate. Oh, lovely! He told himself, tail-tapping-tempo increasing like mad. The small smile returned to his face, and he tilted his head to his right. This should be fun. She’s going to yell or snarl, now isn’t she? I wonder what she’s got to tell me off about… hm! But when Shadekit spoke to him, she was not clear on what had angered her. In a hiss, she told him that he had only wasted her time with his story and small lesson on sociability, and Marshykit’s ears perked. The to,-kit certainly was not upset, only mildly confused. ‘Not anti-social’, she had told me… well, well, well! I was the judge of that, and I have decided… this she-kit is a liar! Ha, she couldn’t even handle a small tale without getting fired up! What a wonderful kitten! With her last comment out of the way, Shadekit told him that she was going to be on her way, that she would be getting going. I all of the dark mackerel she-kit’s words had come out as a hiss. Despite her snappiness, however, it didn’t stop Marshykit’s joy, and as usual, the tabby tom-kit simply kept on smiling.

He watched as Shadekit began to stalk off with narrowing blue and yellow eyes, whiskers twitching with amusement. He cleared his voice and called out to her, “Well, Shadekit, I deeply apologize for your impatience, but the show must go on!” He purred for a second, before adding, “I’m sure you’ll be better off heading away on your merry way, anyway… without my company, that is! Enjoy your miserable social life, my friend! Your story was fun to tell, you’ll even be the villain next time, aha! Lovely, isn’t it?” At that, he turned around to head to the side of camp opposite from Shadekit. Then with a deep breath and a final smirk, he disappeared into a bush to go set up a roleplay scene with some stones.
