THEY'LL CARRY YOUR HEART IN THEIR TEETH

The camp was busy, and Dovekit was bored, which meant they had spent most of their time eyeing the entrance to camp as they pretended to do something else. Surely, if they were careful, they could slip out and not be caught that easily. If they were careful, maybe they could prove Lichenstar wrong and get their apprentice ceremony a few days early!

With the potential already decided, they swiveled their head around, looking for a sibling to drag into this with them. They're sure if they made it sound tempting enough, that any of the other four would come with them- but the problem, it turns out, is finding any of them. There's no telltale spotted pelts that Dovekit can make out, and, in lieu of them, their eyes land on the tortoiseshell pelt of Algaekit. She would do just fine, they decided then.

Tail raised casually, they make their way over to the kit, voice lowering to what they thought would be a quiet whisper- but, actually, with their being a few paws-lengths away, probably wasn't as much as they were hoping it to be. "Hey. I'm going to find a way to sneak out and become an apprentice today." They begin, sitting neatly. "Come with me."

It's just as much a demand as it is a request- they really don't want to go on their own.

@ALGAEKIT
 

What was the outside of the camp like? A myriad of flashing colors and blinding lights, all at once? A total darkness, eclipsed by the shadows of sin and sorrow? Or something one could not imagine within the walls of the camp, something far greater than what could be beholden? There was no way of knowing, Algaekit mused. There was, however, the blight of imagination and the knowledge that built it from the ground upwards. Even then did imagination rarely suffice, not when curiosity yawned so hungrily within the gut of the wanderlust-stricken. Akin to a boiling hunger, never truly satisfied, it would only be fulfilled once it got the truest version of what it sought. It was terribly greedy that way.

So, when Dovekit approached her with a proposition upon lilting breath, how could she refuse fate? It splayed itself right at satin paws, as though it had stretched out from beyond with a beck of its immaterial hand, surfacing from the tar-laden murk of the unknown. Like a piece of prey with its bone-hollowed belly facing the skies, there was no choice she was given but to eat from the palm that offered. If Starclan did not want him to venture away from his post, would they have sent a pale-robed herald such as Dovekit? "Sure." The freckled child only mewled back, as if preternatural senses had claimed him above common ones, the allure cloistered away behind the esoteric. They seemed to demand his acquaintance in their plans rather than his permission, but he hardly cared. To him, this was less of a show of readiness for what lie ahead and more of a revelry of what already existed in the present, but he had been too weak to chase before now. "Hmm, do you have a plan for this? Other than to sneak out? What if there's a giant wolf waiting outside for us? Maybe it's better than facing our angry parents, heehee." Algaekit whispered back to Dovekit as she followed along, eyes shimmering like tektite mirror, uttering inquiry in the form of moon-round and sun-hued gaze. They couldn't just expect to walk out the main entrance, right? She counted her peer to be smarter than that, surely.

  • —— ALGAEKIT / He/She / 4 Moons
    —— Kitten of Riverclan / Sibling to Redkit and Rivuletkit / Mentored by N/A
    —— A wiry, wild-furred blue tortoiseshell with high white and freckle-like spotting. Brilliant yellow eyes, like twin molten suns.
    —— Chaotic, obsessive and strange, Algaekit is a weirdly refreshing character to encounter amongst the sea of her dutiful kin. Beset by nature and her patterns, he is quick to connect the dots even when no such connection truly exists. Somewhat easy to befriend, provided that one can handle his bluntness and honesty at times.

She is no stranger to impatience, they themself are rather impatient to recieve their warrior name. They would wait, not wanting to be ahead of anyone else like that. That doesn't mean that they will wait happily per say but they'll wait all the same, it's an attitude that she believes everyone at camp should carry. It's easy to overhear what Dovekit and Algaekit are whispering about, Twinklepaw considers teaching them how to whisper properly. It's not necessarily a skill that they need to know to be an effective apprentice but maybe they would benefit from it just in their social aspects.

"What are we whispering about?" She asks, in a dramatic stage whisper of her own as she settles down on her haunches next to the pair. It could be good to pretend to not know, playing dumb could be funny. However, they deem it less interesting then trying to playfully scare the kittens a little. "What if the giant wolves have angry parents?" They fight back a giggle at the thought, eyes twinkling in mischief with an amused purr. "You think your parents being angry are bad? Imagine if they're bigger and angrier" they shudder at the thought of it, unsure if wolves really did think like that.

"You should practice your whispering if you want to be an apprentice" they tuck their paws in front of herself neatly, trying to sit as nonchalantly as the pair of kits seem to. "That's a lot more impressive then sneaking out, if you whisper really well I bet Lichenstar will have no choice but to make you both apprentices early" that should theoretically keep them occupied until the next meeting. The pair seem old enough that they'll be dubbed apprentices soon so hopefully this would be a delightful distraction until then.

brindlekit lined up her sticks she'd been collecting that morning in size order. it wasn't a thing she tended to care about much but it was something to do. dovekit and algaekit's conspiratorial voices caught her attention. sneaking out? why? she wondered. she knew what it was like. she walked in here on her own two paws by hazecloud's guidance. it was okay. she contemplated joining the others, chiming in, but twinklepaw beat her to it. though twinklepaw didn't seem to have caught on exactly. at least at first. she was perfectly fine staying right in camp.
