ShadowClan Nursery

[Shade.]

Sharpkit blinked. And again. And again. It was oddly quiet today, not much to look at. She enjoyed silence and personal space when she needed some rest but, right now, she really wanted something to do. In her free time, she often observed cats. Quietly. She stared at their daily habits, noticing what relationships they had with others. But nothing seemed to be catching her eye today, so she was rather bored.

Ebonykit was strolling around in the nursery, looking for another kit to spar with. He was two moons old, and wanted to be as strong as his father, Fiercefire. He was already big, that came to his advantage, but practice was important, one of the most important things when it came to fighting. His uncle, Frogfang, was strong too, right? Ebonykit was glad he had a strong family. The smoky gray tom cast another glance around, desperatly wanting a fighting partner.

Someone came into view as Sharpkit was plopped in a shadowy corner, bored out of her mind. Someone familiar. The older kit suddenly recognised her cousin, slightly younger than her. She remembered him being born only vaguely, she'd just heard it from her father Frogfang. She decided to see what he was up to. Sharpkit was normally a reserved individual but she was a little more open with family. After all, family always had your back.
She approached Ebonykit curiously, raising her tail in a friendly greeting.

Ebonykit smiled at his cousin as she approached. He dipped his head in greeting. "Hi, Sharpkit! Can you tell me how Uncle Frogfang is?," the large smoky tom asked curiously. He was pretty sure his uncle was strong, too, but hearing it from his cousin would definetly give him the reassurance that he was right or wrong. "How are you? Can we spar? We needa practice our fighting skills," he meowed curtly to the she-cat, looking at her with his dark yellow, almost a orange-amber kind of tone gaze.

Sharpkit shuffled awkwardly. How was she supposed to explain that he was good? Just nod, I guess. So she nodded, smiling slightly. Sparring? That sounded fun. Sharpkit crouched playfully, ready to spar.

Ebonykit looks at Sharpkit in surprise as she doesn't answer, but makes motions with her body. Had he missed something? "Sharpkit... Can you talk or not?," he asks with a rather soft voice he would only use with family members. It wasn't meant as an offensive question and he wants to show that.

Sharpkit was a bit surprised he hadn't noticed. But she kind of gave off strong silent vibes even if she could speak. She gave an awkward smile and shook her head no. She was mute and, although it was often frustrating, she'd learned to live with it.

Frozenkit was bored. THE MOST BORED she had ever been, in her whole. life. The womb was more exciting than this. Her beautiful green gaze was drifting from kit to kit in the nursery, and she frowned slightly. No one wanted to talk to her? Why not? Maybe it was because of Smokemoon, did her father scare other cats away? No... no, that was stupid. Daddy was too nice. Maybe it was her wimpy sister, or stupid Poolkit.

No... because no one knew who they were. An irritated snort escaped her, and she stood up from the nest with a huff. This was dumb. She was going to talk to someone, and they were going to like it!

Prancing over to a random kit, she beamed at them. "Hello! How are you today?" The sweetness nearly activated her gag reflex, but she stifled it. She had to be nice.. for now. This could make or break her reputation. If this kit would be useful, she would be friends with them. If not, they would be picked clean apart and taken down.

(For context, Dapplekit has a vision impairment, he just doesn't know yet.)

Dapplekit's ears flicked up at the greeting and turned to face whoever was talking. His pale blue eyes took a second to focus on the silver she-kit in front of him. The tiny tom was slightly taken aback by the friendliness, but he would never pass an opportunity for conversation. He tipped his head to the side and smiled. "I'm well!" He hadn't talked with very many kits, and wasn't super adept in social settings. He loved to talk though, no matter how nonsensical the topic, and was desperate to make friends.

He paused, what was he supposed to do now? Oh right! "What's your name?" He asked, fumbling to make an engaging conversation. His ginger and black patched tail twitched as he spoke. He squinted slightly as he observed the she-kit more closely. She was relatively small, smaller than him, and had... green eyes? Yes, they must be green.

He seemed... nice. Hm. She wasn't sure what course of action should be taken. He reminded her of Coyotekit, and as annoying her sister was, she loved her. Sorta. It was hard sometimes. "I'm Frozenkit! What's your name?" She asked, tipping her head sideways. Of course, she wasn't as sweet to everyone, it usually started off fake on her end, but this was real... sort of.

She was trying, okay?

Blinking, she swept her tail over the ground the way Dawnstar did the one time she had seen her. The warrior she-cat had radiated imperialism, and Frozenkit wanted to do that too! She studied the kit in front of her. He seemed to have trouble seeing her. Poor thing.
