She knew the nursery best of all as far as she was aware, not being picked to play with very often by her littermates, mostly because Sorrelkit didn't like playing with she-kits while Raykit just didn't like playing with anybody. This gave her time to explore every nook and cranny of the place, especially considering Gingerheart did not let her go out of the nursery yet... although seeing as how her brothers were nowhere to be found at a glance, she assumed the same could not be said about them. Lifting herself on her two hind legs for a better look, she squeaked as she tumbled down, landing on her tail and with nothing to add to her findings.

A scowl appeared on her face as she realized her plan would not be put into motion because of this, and partly wondered if Gingerheart had left with Sorrelkit and Raykit while she was sleeping. The calico shook herself as her fur went on end at the thought. Hawknight already seemed to favor the other two, but she refused to believe that their precious mother would stoop as low as her mate and not love them all equally. She had proved to be much more caring than him. Deciding to use what she did have at paw, however, she turned back to her uncle, the cheekiness back in her grin.

"Well... if you want sneaky, you gotta have Raykit. He likes avoiding everyone so much he's actually gotten really good at sneaking around. For brave, you got Sorrelkit. He likes to dive head in to everything. Hmmm... I'm not sure if he's brave or mouse-brained, but either works," she mewed with a shrug, a little purr of amusement escaping her. "Obviously I'm the brains. Not the mouse-brains... the cat-brains," she explained, slowing her lightning fast tongue to explain this part, careful not to confuse her uncle. He was obviously smart and not easily confused, but adults sometimes seemed to have trouble keeping up with her for some reason. "Since I am the cat-brains, then you have to be the sneaky brave one," Lightningkit finished in her high pitched voice, a smug little smirk adorning her face as she presented her flawless plan. The one that would keep her out of danger's way and still get them the feathers, that is.

As she was about to pad into the nursery, when she heard two voices drift out to her. Two familiar voices. It was Lightningkit and Gingerhearts own brother, Squirrelear. They were talking about the haunted nest in the nursery, and a wicked grin formed on her face.

She crept in silently behind them, trying not to laugh. "Yes, yes! Get closer and closer to the nest so I.. Can... Whisk you away!" She cackled menacingly before picking little Lightning up by her scruff, gently tossing her onto her own ginger back.

{ @Ritsuka @Alchemist Kitsune - hope ya'll don't mind me comin in! }

"I suppose... But don't you think I'm too big? She'd notice me easily, no?" Squirrelear hummed, watching the gears in Lightningkit's head move as she claimed to be the smartest and couldn't get the feathers. "If it were you, though, with your brains and size, you'd be able to around and get away from her, right? You're smart enough for that, right?"

The whole time, the russet tabby had been wrestling with trying not to laugh the whole while, which was almost as hard as fighting a badger at this point. However, Squirrelear thought he was doing a relatively good job... Until Gingerheart came in, cackled menacingly, grabbed Lightningkit, and threatened to take her away, much like how Lightningkit had said the ghost would do. And that was the tipping point: the tom was unable to hide his laughter, which turned into choked laughter as he wheeze and set free the laughter he'd been trying to hide, watching his sister and niece.
