LESSON NUMBER ONE ◇ deerpaw

[SPIDERPAW]

✦ becoming an apprentice is kit's biggest milestone once they turn six moons, no longer do they have to stay confined within the set perimeters of camp and instead are welcomed with open paws by opprotunity themself to finally explore the what the rest of the world has to offer and begin learning new skills from their chosen mentors in order to start paving the way towards warriorhood.

spiderkit used to feel some sort of elation at the topic but now anytime its bought up it's met with apprehension and uncertainty, besides the obvious fact he and his sister will be getting their ceremony done by skyclaw, there's always been another issue and it concerns their physique. see, they never truly got the hang of understanding how to use their gangly limbs properly without tripping over them and he worries his mentor will loathe them for being an unbalanced klutz.

but today they think they found the right clanmate who could help them out in this predicament, deerpaw. sure they've never truly interacted before aside from a passing glance but spiderkit has observed and noted that both of them were a not too different from eachother in their ways such as an atypical body type, nervous, lurks in the shadows to watch clanmates, it was like two sides of the same pebble.

so mustering up enough courage and willing their legs to move without so much of a tremble, spiderkit slinks towards to the apprentice with almost silent pawsteps and once close enough would tilt their head back to glance up at him properly and for a moment their mouth would dry and nerves would begin to flare up almost immediately.

they needed to get this out before he gives in to fleeing and trying another day.

"de-deerpaw. . .can yo-you help me with so-something?" spiderkit's voice cracks horribly as he stumbles over almost every word, embarassment flaring like a wildfire beneath his pelt. he kind of looks like he's about to cry but maybe thats how he always is.

  at first glance, spiderkit is nothing remarkable compared to other children in the clan but a double take will point out something glaringly obvious about them that being the fact they are unusually tall for a thunderclanner and one could almost question whether or not they were born in the right clan. other than sporting a coat weaved from the shadows of night itself and baring wide, unnerving golden eyes he also seems to have quite the set of ears upon their head and a snaggletooth that peeks just from beneath his lip.

  —— spiderkit is a very strange child and incredibly introverted, a complete opposite to his fluffier sibling myrtlekit. they aren't the best at socializing and *tries* to befriend others but because of his way to make things awkward and the eerie aura that clings to his tiny frame, he's usually seen by himself in the shadows watching everyone else. this does not help the weird kid allegations.

[DEERPAW.]

Deerpaw finds kits to be quite horrible, despite their small bodies and even smaller brains. With their grubby, kitten paws kneading and their shrill, squeaking demends for attention. Kittens were losers. But, the true loser is Deerpaw, who finds himself being the apparent attraction to a kitten's whims. Ear flicking a ear at a voice of one of the nursery kittens, who... called out to him? Why him out of all cats? Brows furrow, as he turns his haunched figure around towards the voice. Spotting a stumbling thing that was all legs and dark fur. He watches at the clumsy, gangly form of Spiderkit, comes towards him.

He has... never interacted with kitten's before. Sure, he was a kit himself, but he kept to his lonesome all the time. Hiding away from his other rowdy denmates, with a frown on his face. Too close— too close; strings chord through his chest, eyes widen at Spiderkit being close to him. He shuffles his paws on the ground, coating them with dirt as he blinks down at the pitch black kitten. Hazel eyes flit anywhere and nowhere as his... visitor asks him a question.

He winces at the way the black feline's voice crack. Help? With what? Deerpaw narrows his eyes, and there's a horrible twist of a frown upon his lips. There's a tremble in them.

Blinking slowly, hazel eyes to stare at Spiderkit in a intense manner. His messy ginger tail curling tightly around his dust - covered paws. "Uh... H-help with w-what...?" He stutters, with a confused quirk of a brow. While nervousness worm it's way under his long - legged form. He kit looks like he's going to start crying, he shuddered at the thought of kitten germs. It's pathetic.

[SPIDERPAW]

[ ✦ ] the scowl that etches onto tortoiseshell features would cause spiderkit to subconciously flinch, paws beginning to knead against the earth out of habit in attempts to keep themself from actually bursting into tears and profusely apologizing for even daring to bother the apprentice and with how this interaction is already going spiderkit can't help but wonder if it this was even worth it. if they change their mind now, the other would have even more of a reason to dislike the obsidian youngster.

at this point he just needs to rip off the bandage and deal with the potential rejection later.

"yo-you're pretty ta-tall like me, can you show m-me how to not tri-trip over my legs con-constantly?" practically blurting it out in a rush, spiderkit is quick to force his gaze to the floor while the muscles beneath short fur visibly tense up as if preparing for the absolute worst. to most, a simple no to a request like this wouldn't be the end of the world but it did to him who already had an apology gathering on the tip of his tongue whenever deerpaw decides to dismiss him.
