☀ . ° ✦ Play had become different now that the clearing in camp was covered in more than just leaf litter and stones. The dusty ground had hardened over as the cold rolled in like a fog. One could say it crept in, but the warriors and apprentices had seen it coming from fox-lengths away. But for the little toms small perspective of the world, kept safely behind walls of ferns and brambles until he was ready to leave, Bravekit didn't have the slightest clue to just how different his world would look.
His littermates scattered as they stumbled out of the nursery that morning and Bravekit loudly thanked the stars that snow did not cover the ground today. Some bits of melted snow had shielded over into ice overnight but he was careful to avoid them after a firm warning from his older Clanmates. "All four paws'll slip from under you." One had said, and the mere thought of his belly embracing the cold in such a way sent shivers.
Playing by himself never lasted very long until he was in search for his littermates again, and with Fallowkit- Fallowpaw gone now his options were limited even further! No one played Journey Cats quite as well. Round blues quickly glanced from face to face in search of someone to trap into play, and his ears folded back as he heard a voice not far behind him.
"Looks like ya' got twigs stuck in your fur, @Cougarkit! Don't you know how to clean yourself?" The chocolate rosette turned his head with a curious gaze, jaws parted as he saw the irritated lash of his sisters tail. An apprentice, all smiles, looked down at her and perhaps they were joking. Prodding at his sister in good faith but seeing her frustration stirred a reaction from him as well.
They're making her mad! Was his first observation, watching her expression slowly turn into a frown. Bravekit bounded ahead, skidding to a stop between his sister and the apprentice to look bold, chin turned up and chest puffed with righteous pride. Justice would be served, for his sister!
"You better leave Cougarkit alone! Leopardtongue teaches us to clean our fur just fine, and my sister looks perfect. Even if she's gotta twig or two." Bravekit nodded his head with a firm confirmation to his own words, refuting any possible challenge. "You should say something nice to her now, she's a lot meaner than I am when you make her mad."
