//please wait for @FLUFFYPAW

Budkit enjoys when the big kits come to play with her. Or… paws, she supposes they are called, but her young mind doesn’t know why because everyone she has met has paws. Shouldn’t she be a paw too? Maybe even a big paw because her paws are much larger than some of her friends! Thinking about it too much makes her head hurt (though it already hurts a fair bit from all the teeth finishing coming in). The seal point chooses to disregard her train of thought to focus back on her task - apprehending her sister’s swishing tail!

Crouched clumsily behind a clump of moss, Budkit’s pupils dilate at the mass of plush fur flitting across the nursery floor. With a wriggle of her rear and a playful growl rumbling in the back of her throat, she leaps! Trajectory on point, Budkit lands on top of Fluffypaw’s tail and hooks her darkened mittens around it.

“Got y’!” The kitten exclaims triumphantly, holding on tightly and bunny kicking with her hind legs. The excitement coursed through her veins strong and swift, and without warning she feels the urge to bite. So bite she does! Needle-like teeth bypassing fluff and sinking into the base of Fluffypaw’s tail. The feeling of resistance against her aching teeth and gums feels good so she tries to bite down even harder, not realizing her actions are hurting her poor sister.​

[FLUFFYPAW]

Fluffypaw loves to bring Butterflytuft food! The queen can be so overworked sometimes that she has to depend on quick, open mouths to provide the den with prey. Fluffypaw has yet to catch anything — she's working on it — but the fresh-kill pile is greenleaf fat and she finds a willing-enough pigeon to take to the nursery.

The young tortoiseshell trots with gusto to the nursery, happy to see her mother again and check the progress of the little bud at her flank. Budkit is still young, still growing, but soon she'll be able to partake in pigeons and all manner of forest prey! Fluffypaw drops the offering in front of Butterflytuft and mews, "For you, Mother! I hope you're doing well." She nuzzles her mother's cheek and twitches the lofty flail of pale fur that is her tail. She barely notices new, needling teeth, shiny eyes... but she feels the impact of fangs as they sink to her bone.

"Got y'!" Budkit exclaims, and Fluffypaw lets out a shriek that resounds around camp. "Budkit!" Her yelp is almost pitiful. "We don't bite tails, Budkit!"

[butterflytuft]

Butterflytuft's heart swells with warmth as she watches her daughter explore the nursery in her playtime, crouching and pouncing. Budkit's becoming more and more playful every day and the queen never tires of watching her antics! Her joyful gaze flicks towards Fluffypaw as she arrives in the nursery with a plump pigeon in her maw. She smiles at the tortoiseshell apprentice's gesture and purrs gratefully, "Thank you, Fluffypaw." A black nose reaches forward to touch her elder daughter's cheek affectionately. "You're always so thoughtful." Fluffypaw is a beaming ray of light, a bundle of softness within the clan's camp. She thanks the stars every day she is lucky enough to have her.

As she turns her attention back to Budkit, she can't help but chuckle at the scene unfolding before her. The young seal point kitten energetically pounces on Fluffypaw's tail with all the enthusiasm of a newleaf squirrel leaving the nest for the first time! However, her playful bite clearly turned into one more painful, and it causes the apprentice to yelp in surprise. Mismatched ears prick up as she straightens. "Budkit!" The queen trills in shock, and she leans forward to scruff the child. She places her down away from Fluffypaw and between her forelegs before looking down at her with a frown. "We don't bite tails, sweetheart!"

Her attention quickly shifts back to her older daughter as she tries to comfort her, "It's okay, Fluffypaw. Budkit is still learning. I'm sorry." She hopes no blood has broken from her little one's beautiful pluming tail! Of course, it wouldn't be anything Dawnglare or Fireflyglow couldn't patch up quickly. Butterflytuft glances down at Budkit, a soft, scolding tone to her voice as she mews, "You've got such sharp teeth! Maybe it's time you try prey. Can you say sorry to your sister?" Gaze softening, she looks between her daughters and waits to see if Budkit is able to say the word.​

The shriek that fills the air startles the young kit, who immediately releases Fluffypaw’s tail from her jaws and stares slack jawed for the mere seconds allowed before being scruffed. A whine escapes Budkit as she dangles in the air momentarily and is placed between Butterflytuft’s front paws. The seal point looks to her mother for comfort (her big sister just made a very alarming sound after all) but is met with a frown and words enveloped in a soft scold. “Mama?” Budkit pouts, tears welling up in her eyes. She’s confused. All she was doing was playing. Why was Fluffypaw upset? And mama too?

‘We don’t bite tails,’ she is told and dark ears fall back against her head. “Budkit bite. Bite Fwuffypaw teo. N-No bite?” She mutters tearfully in meager understanding. The point kitten doesn’t fully understand why she can’t bite - it felt so good on her aching gums and teeth! But it made mama upset so… “sowwy bite. No Budkit bite,” Buddy apologizes to Fluffypaw with wet eyes and a troubled expression. Only after she says sorry does she glance back at Butterflytuft in the hopes of seeing a gentle smile now instead of a frown.

Budkit decides she doesn’t like to see mama frown. Or hear Fluffypaw make alarming noises.​

The expression — bewildered and milksopping — on Budkit's face immediately has Fluffypaw feeling sorry she'd yelped. The tortoiseshell chimera puts a placating paw on her little sister's shoulder, her eyes softening and her voice lilting into a near-coo. "Aww, it's okay, Budkit," she mews, glancing up at Butterflytuft for confirmation. "See, your teeth are real sharp, and when you bite, it hurts. But I know you didn't mean it."

She purrs, lowering her face to Budkit's and gently touching the tip of her pink nose to her sister's. "Maybe it's time she tries some of that pigeon, Mama," she mews, her ears flicking curiously. "I can't believe she's already big enough for fresh-kill!" Time has flown!
