pafp An egg-cellent surprise! // egg present

[Honeysplash]

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- This had to be one of the most silly things they have ever done.

Not only it take hours to not only hunt down the stupid creature, it kept running from them, but they also had to spend hours trying to get the stupid blue plastic to close around it. Honeysplash had had this idea. Something silly, a gesture of kindness they wanted to share, and it involved finding a plastic egg the two legs had been playing with and a mouse. It had been flowers at first but they had noticed the twoleg kits were eating the inside of the eggs- yet when they found an egg it was empty. So what better thing to eat than a mouse? Plus the egg didnt look big enough to have anything else in it anyway.

The cream and white warrior was pushing this round, plastic thing across the grass with their muzzle. It had taken them a while to get it from the border to camp, but they had managed some how and man where they exhausted by the end of it. Honeysplash was panting slightly and their leg ached from walking so much, but they pushed through it and gave a small heavy breath. Looking around for a moment, then spotted the orange and black fur of her victim! She grinned to herself with a giddy giggle, before continuing to push the egg across the ground.

“Chrys! Chrys wait-” They called out to the warrior and her tail waved behind her excitedly, “I have a present for you!”

[CHRYSALISWING]

One cat's treasure was another cat's trash. In this case, one Twoleg's trash... was Chrysaliswing's trash.

Keen ears swiveled towards Honeysplash, and he should know to expect that shrill chirping anywhere. The chipper molly had his name on the tip of her tongue, drawing it forwards whenever something caught her meager attention. Of course, the chimaeric tom had always been her favorite victim. Promptly did the garish, gaudy colors of the Twoleg egg catch a heterochromatic gaze, like a flashy and brassy sort of bird, with no predator nor enemy to speak of. He still didn't know why Twoleg eggs were the way they were, why they were so obvious and so inconspicuous and on the ground and that they broke so cleanly in half. It unsettled him, as though the creatures of gangling limb were more alien than anything that the forest could birth. As Honey rolled it towards him with a playfully fae demeanor, Chrys pawed at it carefully, as if he expected it to burst open. Yet, it bore no child nor yolk, strangely hollow as though there was never a Twoleg child in there to begin with. In its place lie a pageantry of desecration, a piece of prey within the plastic walls of (presumably) where the kit of his foe had drawn its final breath.

Vivid disgust painted a night-tinged face, and such vitriol had been more rounded in surprise than thorned in abhorrence. In his revelation, it seemed like he had forgotten all about his usual violence, as the fire dimmed itself for just a moment. "Where... did you get that? Did you raid a Twoleg's nest?" Nausea tinted the edges of his words, incredulous as if the thought of Honey undergoing some sort of tactical espionage mission had been too unbelievable to bear. And how had she done so with her recovering leg, as well? Was this some sort of cruel joke, some driveling irony of kittypet flavor? He wasn't laughing. "We have to return this. The Twolegs will follow our scent trails and kill us! Or, worse yet, choke us with collars and turn us into kittypets!" Immediately, he took one half of the broken egg in his mouth, the sunlight lurid and languid as it reflected through the translucent... material that the egg was composed of. Fear struck at manic manners now, as he searched for some place to dispose of it, and his anxiety had gotten the better of him before Honey had even explained herself.

[Ekat]

The tomcat's sudden outburst, harsh words dripping with disgust and anger, makes Ekat's head whip in the direction of the pair of warriors before she can stop herself. The midnight fur along the she-cat's spine rises quickly in her startled fear, but she remains seated in her place on the floor of the camp and tries not to appear too inquisitive. The idea of Chrysaliswing's vitriol being directed towards her makes Ekat's heart sink in her chest like a stone dropped into a pool of water — and so she swallows around the lump in her throat placed there by the tomcat's severe scolding and focuses her attention instead on the object at his paws.

Honeysplash had brought him an egg, one of the strangely-colored and unnatural ones laid not by any bird but placed along the edge of their territory by Twolegs as of late. Ekat wonders what gave the older tabby the bravery to not only touch the object, but to bring it within the SkyClan camp — and she doesn't blame Chrysaliswing for the way he bristles in apprehension at it. Ekat, too, feels her stomach sinking especially as she spots the tiny piece of prey that had emerged from the opened egg. The small, dead mouse lying on the dirt inspires no appetite from the she-cat after falling out of the broken Twoleg egg.

Still, it was a gift from Honeysplash, and Ekat feels even worse as she glances toward the excitement on the cheerful tabby's face. Chrysaliswing needn't have been so cruel to her, Ekat thinks to herself. But she certainly isn't going to say anything about it and risk the fire of the tomcat's rage burning her, too. Instead, the she-cat remains silent and turns her gaze away again. It's really none of her business.​

 

[LUPINESONG]

❀‿ Lupinepaw watches the unfortunate exchange with interest glittering in sweetgrass eyes as she grooms herself in a shady corner of camp. Honeysplash's earnestness being met with immediate disdain makes her cringe, the apprentice can't imagine being rejected so harshly for what appeared to be an offering of a harmless gift, and in front of everyone in camp, too? Humiliating...

"It just looks like a twoleg scrap," Lupinepaw pipes up as Chrysaliswing jolts around like the little egg was going to grow into the size of a dog and gobble him up on the spot, "Daylight warriors bring stuff like it all the time. I think she was just trying to be nice." She offers Honeysplash a sympathetic look before returning to her grooming, running her paws over her face.

[Honeysplash]

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- This cold sense of heartbreak washed through their pelt like a fire on a dry day. Sure they probably shouldn’t have expected something good of it, but they had to try right? Surely there was something Chrys would like that they could give over. Was the mouse too small? Was the egg- a stupid idea? The young warrior watched as the ginger and ebony cat seemed to grow in panic over the egg, questioning where they had gotten it from and to return it in fear of- dying? Why would they be killed?

Honeysplash could feel her face tighten, her gaze went blurry slightly, and she adverted her gaze down. No dont cry She thought hurriedly as their foreboding sense of her own panic surfaced. This image of a large, black paw flashed behind her eyes and she flinched back like she had been struck by some unknown force. “No-No i didnt raid a twoleg nest!-” She started quickly, her voice wavering with unshed tears.

Ears flattened themselves against their head, and then Lupinepaw spoke up from where she sat. Others had seen They thought with horror and shame burned their pelt like a wild fire. They should’ve known better. They should’ve done better, but nothing they ever did seemed better. They never could do a thing right by Chrysaliswing. Why did she expected to be different? Just because they were semi-friends- she shook her head and backed up from the panicking tomcat.

“I found it by the twolegplace border, it had been left behind by them, its a daylight warrior thing- like Lupinepaw said,” She said softly, meekly almost, like an apprentice who was being scolded at for messing up big time, “I’m sorry- i- i just wanted to gift you something-” She tried to explain herself, tried to speak but the urge to sob was winning over her voice. She was so stupid. Too hopeful. Honeysplash felt a tear roll down her cheek and onto the ground, and she pawed the other half of the egg to her side, “I’ll get rid of it”

Though now it felt like there was a thousands eyes on her, her mistake, and the young warrior stood there for a heartbeat longer before she broke away. Honeysplash vanished into the warriors’ den and hide in the back corner.

[CHRYSALISWING]

Apparently, Chrysaliswing's little freak-out had more consequences than he anticipated. Rushes of embarrassment - an unfamiliar and spinose feeling to behold - sent shivers down a wispy pelt as he quickly dropped the strangely broken Twoleg egg half. Had the Skyclan warrior ever seen a Twoleg emerge from that, anyhow? He had completely assumed that it was a dead Twoleg child, but there lie no yolk nor embryo within it, and no trace of life even hiding in the specks of the shell. The temptation to rebutt with an inappropriate sally, drawn from the wits of a poisoned heart, now leaked from his paws until it made no home in him. Ears folded backwards as the other half of the shell rolled away. Heterochromatic gaze did not meet hers this time, instead settling along her ankles, as though staring at her feet would protect him from the burning eyes of his clanmates'. Honeysplash ran away in such a hurry, and soughs of his shame now roosted within his mind. A tear rolled down her cheek, and Chrysalis had seen her cry many times. Of those many times, he had been the stark cause of quite a few. Of those times, words of comfort faltered at his tongue, like he choked out the stringent wishbone of a bird from fleshy throat.

Why does anyone trust you with anything ever? Why do you ruin everything you touch, you stupid, mouse-brained dolt? The chimaeric-colored tom glanced downwards at the Twoleg egg, with the mouse also strewn on the ground as some sort of weird lagniappe that had been strung along as well. She just wanted to give you a gift. He realized that much too late. Honeysplash had been the only cat in the entire forest to afford him lagress kindness, endless fout of compassion that the gasping Chrysaliswing drank from but never swallowed. He was undeserving of any sort of gift, for he did nothing to warrant it. Daggered eyes then caught upon Ekat and Lupinepaw, with the latter touting that Honeysplash had just been attempting to be compassionate to her compatriot. With a huff, he left the other two felines at the scene behind to pursue the lovelorn streak of the snow-dipped Honey. "Hey! I'm sorry, okay? I overreacted! Is that what you want to hear?" He shouted after her, briskly pacing towards the warrior's den.
