Twilightkit, although a bit odd in the way he monitors others and says too-little, is not unlike other kits. He settles for naps, listens to the stories of elders and warriors alike - he's normal, or as normal as a kitten can be. In fact - as the dawn patrol leaves for the day, Twilightkit exits the nursery on his own. He wanted to wish his father luck on whatever patrols that he had that day, but given one left already, he isn't sure if he woke up in time. I'll be quicker tomorrow, he thinks forlornly, but the thoughts are quickly dashed by rattling of trees.

Golden eyes are sent skyward as a few cheeky squirrels race in the trees above them, shaking down leaves. Twilightkit, first frustrated that he cannot hunt yet, turns his attention to the fluttering leaves instead. And like any kitten, he pounces and tackles a stray leaf into the ground. But perhaps in an effort to continue his streak as slightly odd, his short limb waves about at the leaf, as if a paw is held to the end and he is batting the thing into non-existence. Without noticing his blunder, the child shifts his weight onto his hindlegs and simply pounces once more, shredding the leaf with his teeth instead.​
 
〕As she bid good luck to the leaving dawn patrol, Flamewhisker found herself padding towards the nursery. The movement felt...comforting in a sense. Though she had left the nursery a moon ago when her kits were apprenticed, she had spent so much time in there that somedays it still felt strange not going back to that den each day. She had planned on visiting Roeflame and Nightbird, to check on how they were doing given the dreadful Greenleaf heat, but she was distracted by Twilightkit instead.

She watched as he pounced onto the leaf, shredding it with his teeth. It was interesting to her to see him pounce and play just like the other kits. There had been several before him that had lived with three working paws, so it wasn't a shocker that he was able to move around perfectly fine. But she couldn't help but wonder if she lost a paw, how she would handle the change. It would surely be different being born like that, not knowing anything different.

"You will be quite the hunter when you are older." The deputy trills, offering the kitten a friendly gaze.

    a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.
 
Scarletkit pokes her head out of the nursery, her kin’s antics outside drawing her attention. She watches with a bit of amusement as he flails with such earnest effort, and finally, stifling a purr, she slips out from the nursery to greet the pair. With the deputy around, she must act her best, after all. Head and tail held high, she strides forward to come to a stop near them and tips her chin towards her younger cousin. “He’s got the heart of a true warrior!” She chirps in agreement with Flamewhisker, clearly trying to seem older than she is. Her kin wasn’t…born right, and she doesn’t really know why, but he’s family and she’ll support him no matter what.

She grins at the deputy before turning her full attention back to Twilightkit, her tail twitching with curiosity. “What did the leaf ever do to you, anyway?” The tortoiseshell chortles jokingly, reaching a paw out to bat delicately at another of the fallen leaves.

Nightbirds band of kittens had certainly added a certain spark to the nursery, though the positivity of the statement could be debatable. In all honesty, Roeflame had been half-avoiding the smoked queen during her stay in the nursery beyond the basics, if maybe a little subconsciously. As council mates, they worked well together, but she was no Flamewhisker, the chances of bonding over the joys of motherhood were slim, if non-existent.
When Flamewhisker approached, Roeflame had already been watching little Twilightkit and his leaves- drifting leaves.
While still green and vibrant, leaf-fall was undoubtedly on the horizon. Catching her friends eyes drift to the kittens limbs- or.. perhaps lack of, Roeflame has half a mind to remind her of how capable cats like Sunfreckle were-had been.
Until at least, she remembers that this is Flamewhisker of all cats, and instead aims to give the fiery she-cat a soft bump of her silvered shoulder blade. “We’re gearing up to be getting some natural born hunters.” The tabby queen hums in subtle agreement with a soft grin, eyes falling to Scarletkit next. “It was lookin’ at him funny, so Twilightkit had to show it who’s boss.” She answers her mates niece with a playful quirk of her maw.
