Can you feel the poetry rotting in your stomach?


Stars, please don't let me fall. Please stars, please!
Chestnutroot had always admired Flurryjump's ability to climb though it was never somethign she, herself, really ever wanted to do. She'd promised herself that she was a swimming cat - a skill she'd picked up from a life beyond memory - but climbing? That was out of the question. Or so, she had thought.
With all of the loss and drama around at camp, the molted molly wanted to bring some levity to her friends. It was greenleaf! There were things to mourn just as there were things to celebrate. Life was about balance, after all. And so, she had asked Flurryjump to teach her to climb, more as a way to hang out and spend some time with her friend more then actually learning to climb. Of course, she should've known better. Chestnutroot could hardly get a word in, her friend simply excited to share her skills.
And so, because she had left camp to spend time and see the molly smile, Chestnutroot had placed one paw after the other all the way up a tree. She'd gotten further this time - now on a branch instead of barley off the trunk- but her fear overwhelmed her just the same.
"Flurry-! Flurry I can't! Flurry I can't get down!" Panic over took her, crushing on her throat and shaking her paws. "Flurry-! Quick! Please! Help!"

Flurryjump was always thrilled when one of her friends requested to hang out! Tree climbing was fun, but she had to admit that Stormywing was the far better climber of the group. Flurryjump mainly did activities for fun, and tree climbing happened to be on that list. She happily bounded after Chestnutroot, the new sprouts of greenleaf beginning to finally pepper the forest with color. Soon, it would be fully green again, just like the forest should be. She couldn't wait!

Chestnut had gone up the tree first, with Flurry down below, cheering her friend on. It was clear Chestnutroot wasn't the most comfortable climbing trees, but to see her trying things out of her own comfort zone for her friends made Flurry have a spark of admiration for the brown and white molly. When she began to panic, Flurry quickly made her way to the base of the tree.

"Calm down Chestnut, it's ok! I'm right here!" Flurryjump quickly scurried up next to her friend. Thank goodness these lower branches were thicker and able to support multiple cats.

"Deep breaths, you're doing great!" She smiled softly, crouching down on the branch, reaching out her front paws and gently steadying Chestnut's now shaking form. "If you need to, lay down a little and hug the branch. It's big enough you won't slip off."
