ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

So, for a moment, before Daffodilkit approached, he watched the other kit. He watched as Shorekit seemed to lay there for a moment, chin raised slightly, breathing in the passing gust of breeze that ruffled his fur. The ginger and white tom kit tilted his head gently as he then saw a somewhat flustered look cross his face, as if his own body scolded him for staying like that for too long. No one had said anything to him, nothing had happened, and yet he seemed to break himself out of the peaceful trance he had been in. He only stayed watching curiously until the other tom had tucked his paws under himself and began to take the first couple of bites of his meal. He could have likely waited until he was done eating or something, but Daffodilkit felt compelled to approach now for some reason or another and politely dipped his head as he did approach.

The grey kit didn't seem to take notice of Daffodilkit's approach, too tied up in his eating and pondering to notice until he was right there asking his question. It seemed to have startled Shorekit, but the ginger and white kit was sure to talk with his soft voice. It was always how he preferred to talk with others, he didn't want to come off as loud and obnoxious. Then again, he didn't talk to too many in the nursery, more interested in pondering whatever it was that was currently on his mind.

Is he okay? thought the kit suddenly in worry, seeing of absolutely frightened the other kit seemed to be getting. He was about ready to just back off and give the kit space.

But eventually a stammered response was given and the ginger and white kit paused his retreat with a tilt of his head. His eventual response was a 'yeah', a sunny look of happiness crossing the young toms face. He would wait until Shorekit had shuffled over and made himself comfortable before laying on the ground beside him, looking over at the mouse that Shorekit offered to share before politely shaking his head. "I'm okay, I'm not very hungry right now." Again, his voice was as soft as ever, his eyes not focusing on the other kit, but instead at his paws. "There was a bug over here the other day, it crawled over my paw.. I wanted to see if it would come back today." He explained with a soft smile on his lips.

(( sorry if this reply was a little messy, I've been running around doing all the replies I possibly can for today! ))

There was a singular moment that was passed between them and shorekit glanced away, his nerves working him up into a frenzy on the inside. This conversation was dying like a flame with no air, why can't you be normal? he wrinkled his nose and shuffled alittle farther away from the giner and white tomkit pulling his mouse with him and taking a few gentle nibbles to fill the time. Maybe he's not off milk yet? No. He's too big to still be on milk. his mind worked on scenarios of why Daffodilkit wouldn't be hungry, which ultimately lead to. He just wasn't hungry. His over imaginative mind seemed to seize him like a snake around its prey, so captivating and luring but once you release what's going on theirs no way to come back from it. He blinked his eyes shut a second time as another gust of gentle wind caressed the two little kittens sweeping up the grass and tossing it in the wind for a singular moment than dying out on them, it was calming and settling to feel the wind. His mind gradually drifted away from the kit seated next to him and he cocked is head back up to the sky allowing he rays of sunlight to warm his skin.

A bug?

When Daffodilkit spoke again shorekit jerked his attenion back to the feline interest sparked in his eyes, but also a little tenderness. Daffodilkit Seemed to be talking so gently and smoothly as if he did know shorekit was scared, but was handling it well? A thought for another time. Was it sympathy or was it something else? ' ' a bug? Wh- what it look like? ' ' pressed shorekit feeling his nerves begin to knaw at his belly causing him extreme discomfort. He waited a second and let it fester for a moment than fade, ' ' d- do you like bu- bugs? ' ' asked shorekit his nose wrinkling at the thought of the small creepy crawlies.

He knew some of them where quite small and harmless but others like those.. Long legged wriggly ones could bite you! And it hurt. A lot. ' ' d- don't they bite you? ' ' pressed the grey tom his eyes widening as if Daffodilkit had just done a backflip and acted as though it where nothing. ' ' aren't y- you scared? ' ' he asked again shuffling a bit more than bending down to take a nibble at his mouse.

The idea of letting a bug crawl on you was very discomforting to him, in fact it made his skin crawl. He tucked his paws gently beneath his chest and allowed his attenion to be fully enveloped into Daffodilkit and what he had to say. His ears where perked and his eyes focused in on him, forgetting about the mouse beside him. ' ' do- don't you think they will ge- get in your ears and lay eggs in y- your brain? Or or bu- bite you all over? Maybe they will mu- make you all sick and ca- caliapaw won't know wu- wuh- what to do! ' ' shorekit explained turning to glance at his mouse for a longing second. He was no longer hungry. His appetite had faded quite quickly. He used a gentle grey paw to push the mouse further away from him for a brief second and he focused back in on Daffodilkit once again. Maybe he had let his mind think of all the possibilities but that was good, it meant Daffodilkit would know of all the risks and be careful not to get bitten!

“Right...sorry.” Shellpaw scuffed the ground a bit before nodding eagerly. She crouched low to the ground, her eyes glued to killingscaw. She then lunged clumsily at her friend.

Killingscaw shook her head. "You look like a elderly badger."

@Ombre Party;

Marigoldkit mewed and rolled around at her adopted mother's belly. She was busy attacking Windypetal's with her paws. The young kit batted at Windypetal's huge paw, giving out tiny purrs as she looked up at her adopted mothers face.

He explained, he felt pretty bad about making his apprentice feel like that, he took a seat next to her and his ears remained lowered. "Amberpaw, look at me, I need to talk to you, and I want you to listen closely." He said, his voice was firm. He wanted her to feel better about all this and make sure she wasn't scared about being in contact with someone anymore.

((Do I have your permission to have him touch her to encourage her, like, press his nose to hers and make sure she understands what he says without her freaking out?))

((thought I'd start this up again :3 and sure, as long as she knows about it beforehand ))

Amberpaw looked up at him, her dark amber coloured eyes sad, her ears pinned back on her head. She slowly nodded before gazing downcast at her paws again, shuffling them nervously. "Okay... I... I'm listening, Mudspeck..." she meowed softly, her voice quiet.

Mudspeck made her look at him with his paw and pressed his nose to hers, his gaze fierce, not scary, but there was something in it that was different than normally. "Listen to me, Amberpaw, I know you're a strong she-cat. You must not let your past affect your future, believe me when I say that." He mewed and met her gaze. "You're a strong she-cat, and I know it more than anyone else because you are my apprentice." He added.

Brambletalon lay in a patch of sunlight by the nursery, his ears listening intently towards the nursery for his daughter, Whitekit. He was listening for her to come out so he could spend some time with her. The tom would go into the nursery for a visit, but when he does he tends to feel like he’s getting in the way of the queens or he gets trampled by the other kits.

Whitekit stumbled out of the nursery, tripping over her paws as she batted at the ground playfully. She grabbed her tail and began to lick it. The kit looked up to see her father a couple fox lengths away. [B]"Hi Daddy!"/B] she yowled, running over to Brambletalon. Whitekit tackled him, trying her best to push him over.

Brambletalon fell to the ground “you got me!” He gasped in fake surprise before placing his tail over her back. “Are you having fun with the other kits?” Bramble rasped his tongue over his daughters ears, grooming her fur a bit.

Whitekit pushed her afther away with a purr. "Mostly all the kits in the nursery or too young or too old." replied young molly.
