Lambkit had been born in a season not like most others. The early frost robbed his kithood memories of falling leaves, of the not too cold weather and the sight of first snow. The blinding white blanket that coated his home most days was the normal, snowflakes instead of rain. Golden fur fluffed up against the cold. The way the adults grumbled about their never being enough to eat. They would only have to wait until he was apprenticed, he determines. Because then he would hunt down every squirrel in the forest to ensure his clan went to bed every night with had full bellies!
With his den-mates the snow becomes a playground. He leaps into snow banks, chases Ramkit around them until his paws feel numb from the cold. He sticks out his tongue and tries to catch tiny drops of ice and water as they float gently from the sky. Leaf-bare isn't so bad. If you're a kit, at least.
He's tired from playtime and heading back to the nursery when suddenly he stops in his tracks. Sunlight flints off of something nearby, catching his attention. Glacier blue eyes flicker for a moment towards Butterflytuft, who has her paws full trying to lead Ramkit back to the nursery and then he is padding closer for a better inspection. There, dripping off a low tree limb, is a peculiar sight. An icicle, though he does not yet know the name for such a thing. It looks like a strange tooth to him and he marvels at his warped reflection in the mirror-like surface. "Whoa…" he whispers in awe and then, almost without thinking, he sticks out his tongue to taste it.
It's instantly cold to the touch, water beads off it but not enough to be substantial… hm. With his inspection complete, he moves to pull away. Except… oh. Mouse-dung he can't! "'Elp! 'Elp! Em 'uck! Muh ounge! Elp!" he cries out, blue words muffled by the fact that he cannot currently move his tongue and widened eyes desperately searching for Butterflytuft for help.
