Stupid tooth. Stupid cold. Stupid... itchiness that nothing seemed to relieve him of! Nettlepaw has been chewing on this stick for what felt like hours. By now, it was little more than splinters, blood covered and thoroughly carved by needle sharp little fangs. While some of his adult teeth were growing in, poking uncomfortably through his gums, others were still yet to be freed, kitten-teeth that stubbornly clung to their perch within his maw. Hence the chewing, of course. It brought some relief. Why can't I just be done growing now? A frown creases his maw as he clamped down on the old, dry wood. It splinters again, a mess of spittle and blood that splatters the thin dusting of snow he lays upon. Finally, there's a creak, a crack, and Nettlepaw jerks, tears his head upward and with a harsh popping sensation, the kitten tooth is torn free. It pierces the wood, a bloody memory of kittenhood, and one of the very few left.
Soon enough, Nettlepaw's jaws would be filled with razor sharp, adult incisors. For now, though, he has to settle for the few ivory thorns that remain, and the itchy, aching sensation of the new growing in. Spitting specks of wood and scarlet across the snow, Nettlepaw blows out a heavy sigh, breath like mist upon the wintry breeze. Relief at last. Even if it was temporary.
