Would it be awkward to go off of that point? Or would it be nice to just change it... yeah Bushkit would probably enjoy switching topics. Though he was curious how hard he could push against the tom before he walked away. “Was it your intention to walk over here and make me uncomfortable?” the tom said glancing down at him with a snort.

“Hmm. I’m sure I could still reel in the ladies right now” The tom said with an overtly sarcastic little voice. That was something he’d never do, considering he was pretty sure he was attracted to nobody. No. That was a lie. Oddears. No? Yes. No. Well actually yes. Whatever he couldn’t be thinking like that. “Oh funny” He snorted

Bushkit had absolutely no intention to elaborate unless prompted — no, threatened to. He could survive some awkward silence. It was better than spilling his entire life story to Coyotesnarl. That would deter him for sure. His ears flattened and he refused to look at anything but his paws, but the dark brown kit didn’t say a word until Coyote did. "I suppose so," he replied. Why did he approach the medicine cat, exactly? Oh, right. He was throwing a pity party. Not that Bushkit would bring that up. "Is it working?"

Now it was Bushkit’s turn to snort. "Sure thing. When rabbits fly, just maybe I’ll believe that." of course, he wasn’t referring to Coyote’s face. Merely... his personality. "You aren’t the most cheerful cat. Hard to believe, I know." He added, just to make sure he know that Bush wasn’t meaning his looks. Now, it was time to get a bit more serious. "You want some? I sure hope I didn’t ruin it by eating some. Only the finest prey for our great and powerful medicine cat." he mock bowed, making it long and overdramatic.

Thornsprint was, to be quite honest, bored. He had just entered the clearing from a solo hunting trip, one of many he usually did. And by hunting, he meant watching, really. Observing. The borders were by far the most humorous to watch, especially apprentices. They were either stupidly aggressive or oblivious to borders, usually. Not only the otherClans, but their own. Although it was a solitary hobby, Thornsprint enjoyed his time alone. This time was a bit less interesting, but it was just one of those days.

He would deposit a shrew that he’d caught onto the pile and sit on the outskirts, in the sun. He was sleepy, it was about that time of day. The sun felt lovely on his tabby pelt and he felt like just falling asleep.

Nothing could ruin this.

For once, Bushkit was not irritated. He wasn’t angry, agitated, or snarky either. He was just tired. The constant begging to play from the kittens in the nursery was too much. They gave him a headache, and the dark brown tom was eagerly awaiting the day when he could say goodbye to the stupid babies. Stars, what he wouldn’t give to be an apprentice again.

He lay down near the apprentices den with a sigh. This was about the closest he could get; as a kit, he wasn’t really allowed in there. It was for apprentices only. He would lay down and close his eyes, sighing.

Stagkit listened carefully to Mindtalk's word as he returned from his trip outside in the world of grey... Well the entire world was grey but it was more grey outside. He was going to be taking care of Twiglight? He would take the best care of her! He would make sure she wasn't lonely, she had food... maybe she could even teach him stuff? Could Twiglight be his teacher... what was the word... mentor? Could Twiglight be Stag's mentor. He had to question her when he was sure she was well fed and was not lonely. Looking back at Mindtalk, the little kit having walked all the way over to Twiglight's nest, he nodded, "Stag got... some friends. Stag can introduce Twiglight to them! Cornkit!" That was... his one friend. Fawnkit was sister... not friend. With that the kit took a bite out of the rabbit himself and chewed happily. "Will Twiglight teach Stag cool stuff? Will Twiglight be Stag's mentor when Stag is smart?" He hoped she would. Stag liked Twiglight. "Stag will be named Stagpaw! When Stag is made an apprentice. Paw... after Stag's paw." With that he shook the bad paw that was growing stronger but still looked crooked and strangely put together after it broke. "Twiglight will be taking the best care of Twiglight! If Twiglight teaches Stag how to hunt... Stag can bring in fresh prey every day. Would Twiglight like that?" he questioned, his blue eyes wide and hopeful as he stared at her grey face. And then he realized that Mindtalk was leaving. "Mindtalk leaving?" he questioned as he made his way over to her and pulled on her fur. "Can Mindtalk give Stag cuddles before she leaves?" He knew he was being a baby for asking for cuddles... But Stag liked cuddles! And he'd gotten the rabbit for them, the least she could do was to give him cuddles in return. Family cuddles! "Before Mindtalk leaves... Stag think Twiglight would appreciate family cuddles!" And with that the kit tugged on the dark molly's tail before limping back to Twiglight's nest and cuddling up to the other molly. Stag had family... and cuddles. And he wouldn't be alone again.

an instantaneous mood swing. Finally, someone agreed with her! Wait, no.... Deadpool being hurt was nothing to be happy about. Giving a small skip, Hivekit kept close to the warriors side, not wanting to lose her. She didn't want to worry Emberkit, sure, but why would he be worried anyways? She had Deadpool, after all! Instead op replying to anything the large molly had said, Hivekit went to practicing speech instead. "Yope! Yooope! Yope yope yope! Yo-peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...." She drew out the word, not exactly knowing what it meant. How come Deadpool could say it so perfectly?! "debpullll!"
Hivekit prodded a paw at some fur, impatience prickling through her spine. ""debpullll!!!!!! howww yew sae yopeee?????" An unfamiliar scent was blooming in the air, sharp and pungent. The kit wrinkled her nose with disgust, still refusing to turn away. This was for Deadpool. Pausing for a brief moment, Hivekit took a second of thought. Who was Yote anyway? Could she trust them? Would they hurt her? Questions she should keep to herself, Deadpool was worried enough. And, oh, that smell.. Yote must be some kind of monster to be able to stand it... still, Hivekit would greet them like she did anyone else. And then maybe do some investigating... Like, why was his name Yote, and not something like hers or her siblings? Maybe she could give him a new name! Like, perhaps...... Hm, she'd have to take a moment on that one. Resuming the steady pace, Hivekit continued to sing out the name. "yo-peeee yopeeee.... yopeeeee...."

Eaglepaw racked his brain for topics."What's StarClan?" he asked.

Basilpaw wasn’t sure why they’d talk about it,” Wait, you don’t know what Starclan is?” she asked a bit shocked.

Eaglepaw looked up at Basilpaw. He shook his head. He had heard of it but didn't know what it was.

Basilpaw was quite surprised at this, but didn’t mind explaining it,” Starclan is where we go when we die. Basically it’s giant clan where every dead cat goes. I’ve heard each star in silverpelt is a clan cat who died and is in Starclan, frankly I have my doubts about that myself. If you’re evil you don’t go to Starclan and instead go to the Dark Forest, they use that to scare kits into behaving, I think i’ve heard cats from Starclan sparkle, but that seems unlikely. It’s described as a Utopia, but all cats have flaws.” Frankly Basilpaw wasn’t sure where her beliefs landed. She believed in Starclan, but she was certain it had the four clans in it and everyone lived in their respective clan and the sparkling seemed hard to believe too.

Eaglepaw nodded and thought about it. StarClan didn't seem real to him.
