[Quasar]

Cinderkit was woken up by the sound of...arguing? She didnt really know why this was happening, but she did recognize the voice of darkkit, who she wasnt necessarily fond of, to be honest. She heard the story about how he got beat up by some other kits, but she didnt really think that meant he could just snap at everyone. Cats shouldn't just use something in their past as an excuse for the things they do wrong! That just seems like common sense to her, but she wasnt really all that sure the scarred kit understood that.

The two moon old kit stretched her legs and yawned before carefully climbing out of her nest and wandering out into the clearing so that she could get some fresh air. Recently, the nursery had been getting way too crowded for her liking, so she spent most of her time out in the clearing, sometimes even sleeping out there. As much as it might be dangerous, she much preferred it over the stuffy, cramped nursery. Plus, the nights were actually quite pleasant. The cool breeze always felt nice, and she loved gazing at the stars and moon.

For now, though, she was off to find something to do. It was about sunhigh, so she had plenty of time. As much as she wanted to visit the elders, she didnt want to bother them too much. Instead she just settled on flipping over rocks in search of interesting bugs. She was just outside the nursery entrance, so she knew that there wouldnt be much to find. But low and behold, there was a huge beetle just sitting behind a rock. Her eyes widened in surprise and she quickly shot out a paw to grab onto it. It felt odd on her pawpad. It was really smooth, but it also had a bit of a jagged edge around the sides of its body. After she had watched it long enough, she lifted her paw and watched it scramble off.

She straightened back up and turned to go back into the nursert. The fighting seemed to have ended, so she was glad that things seemed to have been worked out. As much as she wanted to just go back to sleep, she was wide awake, and the chances of her being able to fall asleep seemed abysmal. With a quiet sigh, she flopped into her nest and rolled onto her back, unknowingly exposing her belly. She was seemingly lost in thought, her eyes gazing into space.
