-ˋˏ ༻ ❆༺ ˎˊ- Troutsnouts gentle hum from nearby had put a surprise spring in Pinekits step as she would scamper closely behind her brother, who was quick to lead her to one of his watch towers… that now looked a bit melty.
“Are these only made with dirt?” Pinekit asks, tapping a firm ivory paw into the soft soil. She was no expert, but perhaps they could figure out something more sturdy, this was going to be an important job, afterall. Despite Troutsnouts assurances, the tortoiseshell kitten still squished herself low to the soil, amber hues squinted as she took in what she could.
“There- ! … Oh, just a bird.” For a moment, Pinekit coulda swore the birds feathers look just like the funny shell that one two-leg she had seen across the river wore atop its head. Twinklekits silken voice pipes up from down below, asking to join them. Before Pinekit can break the unfortunate news that this was an incredibly classified mission reserved for her and Cragkit, Troutsnout took it upon herself to invite her denmate right on up. With a cautionary glance to Cragkit, Pinekit would eventually shrug, gesturing the other forward with a patched tail.
“M’kay, just be careful it doesn’t crumble.” Pinekit cautions, though despite her misgivings the kittens tone is not unkind. Splashpaw’s question is a welcome one, and burning auburn optics focus on the ivory-dappled apprentice confidently.
“Well, one of us would have to get Iciclefang n’ Lichenstar, and the other would have to keep lookout.” The tortoiseshell explains matter-of-factly, her overzealous edge concealing the fact she was making it up on the fly.
“If it got into camp though…” as to not neglect her job, Pinekit would toss a quick glance back over her shoulder before finishing her sentence.
“I’d go for its eyes, first.” The only reasonable option, if it couldn’t see… well, it wouldn’t be able to take anyone she cared about.
