camp BEHIND BLUE EYES / KITTEN DEV

[RAVENKIT]

---

Today.... it's different. The world is not so dark anymore. The first time he opens his eyes, he's feeding. . . and he closes them right away. Too bright, he thinks, finding everything to be too colorful and overwhelming. Darkness is much better, and yet he feels the urge to actually experience what seeing is after being enveloped in shadows for the first week of his life. It is not so lonely, anymore. When he had to be guided, when he didn't know what was what — well, he still couldn't. He didn't know what moss was or milk.

"Mrrrrrp," He chirps and startles himself with the noise he's making. "Mrrrrrow?" he tries again, and it startes one of his littermates too ( which one he doesn't know, can't know ) and their cry sends him tumbling backwards, smacking and kicking someone in the process. His eyes open in alarm, then — kitten-blue and wide, staring at who he can only assume is one of his parents.

[PEARLKIT]

It's a loud noise in a dark space- someone he should know. It's loud, and it's startling, but his cry is brief before he's burrowing himself back into the warmth of fur and subconcious familiarity and falling to silence. Loud, loud. Leave it to all of them to be loud and energetic.

Right now, he's tired. And he tucks himself closer, content to bury his face and his ears into what he does know. The world in front of them may one day be large and worth seeing, but he'll wait - maybe til tomorrow. Maybe the day after. He's got everything in the world he would want right here - why should he be in a rush? ​

 

[Owlheart]

At this point it would be more concerning if the kits were quiet rather than the steady influx of noise that comes from a majority of them. Pearlkit and Cuckookit are quiet, Morningkit fluctuates either way while Ravenkit and Brightkit were easily the most vocal. A squirrel cradelled between ivory teeth as she places it beside Oddgleam. Not wanting to disturb the steady peace between a queen and their feeding children. She still hovers nearby, ensuring that they prey doesn't grow cold, while she didn't want to disturb them she wanted to be here.

Ravenkit attempts to speak to the best of his ability, she would miss these mrrps of his when he started to understand anything more complicated. She watches in concern as he is sent tumbling backwards, moving from where she had settled on her haunches in preparation for another escape attempt. It isn't that this time, thankfully. "oh!" She exhales, breath hitching in her throat at the sight of kitten blue eyes. She blinks, trying to not stare at the sight but how could she not?

"Hi Ravenkit" she mrrps with a smile, unsure if he can hear but now knowing that he can see. Owlheart glances to her mates, trying to see if they had noticed as well. "Has.. anyone else opened their eyes?" Pearlkit has buried his face into the soft pelt of Oddgleam so she doesn't know, is Ravenkit just that eager to see the world or is this normal?

[CUCKOOKIT]

Bright light flooded through the sanctity of darkness, as though an intrusive sheen draped along his wet eyes, glossing into where the blue smoke kitten sought peace and quiet before. He could not escape to that wonderful place of dreams now, and the more that he attempted to claw back to seize the blackness of before, the more that it resisted and shirked away from him. "Mrrrew!" The protest of a sound bubbled from Cuckookit's rosy lips, like the twinge of a twinkle upon a vaster star-scape, yet still burnished into the swaming, soupy sea of noise. They looked to the ground first, as if too-heavy head could not lift itself further in the moment, and spotted only a monotony of browns and greens below. It was much more calming than the above, and the kitten had been tempted to plant his gaze squarely where it had first fallen, but childish curiosity snatched him away from his comfort. Before him lie a sky-scraping goliath of orange blaze, as if a statue of fulgur and sunset stood before him - not that he had the words nor experiences to compare his mother to, and instead swilled the giant beast for what she was from his earthbound perch. If Owlheart or any other feline were to look upon the kitten now, they would see brilliant blues burning back into them, though without the intensity of a cat who had any intent behind their sights.​

 

[morningkit]

Perhaps it is lazy to choose complacency... but Morningkit, unlike her namesake, can not be bothered to rise to greet the day with stunning blues alike her kin. Comfort is a far more welcoming concern, one clutched up against with a tighter curl of a fuzzy body- she takes companionship in this simple act of leisure with Pearlkit, who also seems to understand that beyond closed lids there is an overwhelming world in store for them. Voices bubble at the very edge of her hearing, tiny, tufted ears going about their slow uncurling to cope with the rampant sound of life. Owlheart peers over them with excitement rattling her spirit but... it seems for all their lust for exploration and wayward tumbling outside of the nest, not so many as half are interested in actually confronting their lot in life.

It is warm and dark.... I like it how it is right now.

She would not rush to change it.

[ODDGLEAM]

It was peaceful in the nursery. Well... As peaceful as it gets anyhow. With his brood of mismatched colored kits by his side either asleep, crying out with vigor or trying to crawl away from the nest. Either way it was peaceful as it gets. Feeling small paws kneading at his belly, gummy mouths latching on and feeding on sweeten milk he provides to his children.

Large mismatched ears perked up at the sound of pawsteps, the scent of squirrel whiff up into his nose. Lifting his head from where it laid minutes prior, turning his head towards the sunset hued figure of his mate. "Hellooo, my doe ♪" He sing - songs all while letting a smile curl across pale lips, as he greets Owlheart. An ear twitches at the sound coming from his son, listening to his little 'mrrps'. Sliding half - lidded copper eyes, that were glimmering with interest to Ravenkit while the kit tumbles back from the noise he had made. He tilts his head towards the sound Owlheart exhales, he lets out soft giggles when Ravenkit decided it was time to see the wide world. "Oh my..." The feathery fur across his back puffed up in surprise at this new development in his kit's life. Leaning his head down towards the little black smoke, wide kitten blue eyes stare back at him. Magnificent. Oddgleam can't help but stare.

"Hello there, little Ravenkit." He softly hums, nearly a whisper. He lets his nose nudge the little scraplet with a purr escaping his throat. Lifting his pale - patched head away from his kit, letting Ravenkit have some space, he looks down at his fur staring at the buried face of Pearlkit. Doesn't seem to be opening his eyes yet... That's fine, it's no rush. He lets his eyes peer down at Morningkit, also doing the same as her brother. He curls his tail around his brood, while he turns his attention to the protesting mewls of Cuckookit. Brows raise in surprise at the watery sheen of kitten blue eyes. "Another one!" He excitedly chirps from his earthbound perch, the young queen coos down at his stormy hued son. "Ah, Hello little Cuckookit." He murmurs.

[Uranuskit]

"Ma! Wait! Where are you going? Don't make me eat that PLEASE" Uranuskit pokes her head into the... nursery is what it was called right? She thinks so. The little daylight-warrior wannabe had followed the orange tabby - who was not Ursabounce as she quickly found out - into the den.
Her pelt puffs at the sudden break from the sun the place offers, and frowns at the noise she is quick to add to.
"Why are they so little?" Her face screws up, ears pinning back as she draws close to a tiny bundle in inspect it. It looks like a cat... kinda? It smells like a cat - sure, but smell couldn't be everything. After all, the orange cat she followed smelled enough like mom and that'd been wrong!
She reaches out with a shaking paw and lightly baps one of the small creatures on the head before jumping back in alarm
"IT TOUCHED ME!"
