private GRANDURE | harrierkit

[cottonsprig]

Cottonkit lingers. Mealtime is over, and most of her siblings have escaped the nursery to enjoy the last rays of sun before nightfall comes. Most, but not Harrierkit. The grey furred she-kit had half a mind to follow the others when she spotted her brother, instead, picking through scraps and eating what the rest of them didn't finish. His belly seems to never be full, huh? Cottonkit finds it kind of funny, and stays behind with her brother so that he doesn't have to be alone. After all, even with his rough edges, she still loves him.

However his silence isn't welcome. It's normal, absolutely - but it's not something she likes. So she picks through her mind for something fun to talk about, whilst he pulls the remains off of the bone of yet another piece of prey. Her ears twitch when she finally gauges something that he might enjoy, too. "Harrierkit!" She sparks suddenly, her voice pitching just as it does. She pays no mind to if she startles him or not, simply speaking more, "Who d'you think Ma will apprentice us to? There are so many cool moor runners and tunnelers..." Not to mention, who might be made a warrior come their time.

Regardless of his interest, she plucks names from her mind and serves them to him readily, "I think Ma will give Sunstride to you. Or Badgermoon. Someone important," she flexes her claws into the tough ground beneath them, more than eager to continue the discussion, even if he doesn't wish to. "Or! Maybe Gravelpaw will be a warrior then. It'd be funny if Gravel...pelt -" she's no good at names, and she knows it - "becomes your mentor...!"

Harrierkit blinks at his sisters sudden exclamation at him. He thinks for a moment she may ask to play, but he was too busy pretending to be older than he actually was. Her choice in conversation surprises him though, who would they be apprenticed to?

Badgermoon or Sunstride he nods approvingly and straightens his spine, of course, mom would not give him anyone but the very best! Anything less than a lead warrior would be an insult! ”I hope Badgermoon.” He would reply briskly. As for Cottonkit…? Who would she gets?

”I don’t know, not many important tunnelers aside from ma.” He says matter-of-factly, one could not be important without a place on WindClan’s council. ”Maybe she’ll take you on herself, or Bluekit.“ Mischeviously he smirks, ”it’ll be a good way to gauge who is mom’s favorite.” Half teasing, half dead serious. ​

She feels healthily vindicated when Harrierkit entertains her conversation. She's gotten used to his rebuffs or his penance to ignore her ramblings, so the shift is welcome. Her tail twitches, his reply initially quick. She tries to shoot back just as quickly - albeit, still a little clumsy, "Badgermoon would be horrified to have you, I think." It's a silly jest, though it's followed up with, "He seemed to do just fine with Firefang, though..." and her brother is far better than the hotheaded moor runner.

He continues the conversation and she seats herself as he does, though his words put some worry into her chest. She doesn't like the image of not being her mother's favorite - or, at least, a blatant display of it. Then again, what child would respect the distinction? Her tail lashes, "She could take us both!" Cottonkit hopes her words don't come across as desperate as she feels, "Ma's strong, and smart. She could train two apprentices if she wanted," she decides, teeth clenched for a moment. She wants to divert the conversation, desperately, but she struggles in how. ​

Horrified? It was a jest but somehow he still looks offended, ”Why? He should be honored!” The earthen toned kit puffs his chest out in confidence. Besides, as his sister would go on to state he trained Firefang, and she was an excellent warrior! Cottonkit’s tone seemed to consider otherwise though, ”Well… what’s wrong with Firefang?” He can’t help but ask.

Harrierkit is stunned at the idea Cottonkit proposes, Sootstar taking them both, he shakes his head rapidly. No, no, no, that’d never happen, it’d be impossible! ”That’s not how it works, it can’t happen!” He points out, ”Ma might be a great tunneler, but with all her duties she could never handle the both of you!” Or maybe he was wrong? Maybe he shouldn’t doubt Sootstar in the slightest… he knows his ma was a great leader and mentor, maybe she could juggle it all? Still… ”besides, I want a mentor who can dedicate ALL their time to me! Don’t you? I’d hate to share.”​
