These remarks didn't sound rude to Owlkit...and she certainly didn't mean them to be, but they could come off that way. As good as Owlkit's intentions could be, at times she could come off as downright rude or as though she didn't really want to be around you. "I'm Owlkit, by the way. Who are you?" She asked, her voice having a genuine note of curiosity in it. Her hues swept over the tom, as though she were judging him on his appearance, and then she met his gaze. Why aren't you cleaned up? She thought, although she was smart enough to realize that that might be a bit of a rude question to ask, and so refrained from doing so. Owlkit's expression changed from a thoughtful one to a bright grin. "Do you like to play?" She asked suddenly, bounding to her paws. Her eyes were sparking with mischief and the promise of play, and her tail was twitching excitedly, as though she didn't have it in her to keep it still. However, because her tail was so fluffy, it seemed to be more of waving around than twitching, and it looked almost comical to see the young kit with her bushy tail waving around in the air like a flag. Her expression was still excited as she waited for his reply, knowing that it was best to be patient if she wanted to play with this young tom.

Storkpaw's smug expression remained, as he sometimes liked teasing the kits, especially with all his younger siblings. "Storkpaw's the name. Nice to meet ya' Owlkit." He said cheerfully. Then he watched as her eyes searched him looking him up and down, then his eyes locked with hers, and it took a moment before he looked away. As she jumped to her paws and began jumping around, almost with the personality of a different kit. He looked at her with a confused glanced, his eyebrow cocked up as if to ask, Where did this energy come from? Then he lowered his gaze to hers and said. "Play? Playing is for kits." He said slyly, and with a smirk. "I'm an apprentice so I don't have time to play." Then leaning in close to her he reached out his paw and poked her gently in the chest. "So TAG!" He said with sudden excitement pulling away his paw and darting around the clearing laughing as he went.
