Cherrykit and Hiccupkit lie sprawled upon the plush turf of camp. Though only a fox-length or two from the nursery, viewed through Cherrykit's sunny lenses the world seems to be nothing by sky. Unending blue washes over the pair, a river so wide one could stand on a bank and never see the other side, daubed with puffy white clouds like foam swirling on the water's surface. The rich, afternoon blue resounds in her chest, like the deep peal of a gong spreading through her tender ribcage. The depth of peace almost makes her forget the blustering cold of mere sunrises ago, a sickening gray punctuated by sharp flashes of red and white.
She should be asleep right now, in the holly-scented throes of an afternoon nap. But here she and her brother are, blinking away the sunlight to better see the clouds. A single paw lazily gestures upwards, like a little white flag waving in the breeze. "Thaaaaat one...it looks like Blazestar," she ventures. It's a pale future thunderhead, rearing into the sky like the ruffed curve of their leader's neck. Cherrykit doesn't think about their leader much, but he does strike a memorable figure to her, all pale and sun-licked up on his High Branch. Like a cloud with how round and large he is.
