⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ On the far end of camp, the small molly Ferretkit had her head poked into the gorse wall that surrounds the hollow camp. Her tail would swing tentatively behind her for long stretches of time while she was completely silent in her concentration, aside from a few stray giggles. What could she possibly be so entranced with?
Inside the small dip into the ground under the gorse wall, the hole that she had stuck her head in, resided a small field mouse - absolutely terrified by now, surely, but what Ferretkit saw was a new buddy to play with. Every once in a while, she'd stick her paw into the gap, at which point the mouse would shy away. When that failed, she'd wait patiently outside of the hole with her tail swinging across the snow-mixed dirt behind her. Eventually, seeing as her new friend doesn't want to come out to play, the she - kit stands and stomps her paw on the ground, before taking a frustrated step back. It is at that moment that the mouse sees its escape, and darts.
Ferretkit is on its tail almost immediately, batting towards it and letting it run in a game of chase. With excitable squeals, she chases the field mouse across the camp's clearing, darting between legs and under startled raised paws. Once they get closer to the nursery, the mouse's trajectory is clear: it's running straight for an unknowing kit who just happened to be stepping out of their den.
"Grasskit!" Ferretkit hollered, barely able to speak over her woops and squeals. The mouse was headed straight for them! "He's gonna get you, Grasskit! Run!" She decided her game of chase was over, and a new game has started. In her eyes, the mouse is no longer her friend: it is a rat warrior, large and fierce with the biggest teeth ever! It runs straight towards little Grasskit, poised to attack, and Ferretkit would be the hero that saves them!
