⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ So many words, objects, places. So many new things to learn. After days of resting dormant in the nursery, Sparrowkit was finally ready to discover what Clan life really was.
His mother never told him about ThunderClan, or any Clan for that matter. In his life, he can only recall fuzzy memories of other stray cats, though they'd never been close enough for him to learn about them. This was a brand new experience! Despite the moments of overwhelming information, Sparrowkit seems eager to learn about everything.
There was one specific den that always seemed elusive to him. A fern tunnel leading into a crack in a boulder, it seemed quite sheltered and guarded, much like the nursery was. Though he'd seen cats come in and out of this den, he'd never ventured in himself. After a brief moment to hype himself up and be brave, he decided he would uncover this mystery! So, Sparrowkit took off for the strange den.
Inside the den was a grassy clearing that Sparrowkit quickly stepped into the center of, hazel eyes round with wonder as he gazed across each wall and corner of the den. At first, it had seemed that nobody else was in here, but perhaps he was too focused on the looks of it to check if anyone would be bothered by his barging in. So many sights to see - a big tall rock, a pool on the side of the den. But all his sights were quickly overshadowed by a strong, pungent smell; a mix of many smells, to be exact. If he focused hard enough on discerning them, some of them smelled sweet like flowers- others, bitter and sour. The kitten fell back on his haunches, stumped as he processed all these scents, all the while wrinkling his nose and sniffling into a grand sneeze.
"Smells funny in here," the kitten muttered, to no one in particular. It was then that he saw a shape towards one of the walls of the den, an adult cat examining one of the tall, cracked rocks. Startled at first, though curiosity piqued, Sparrowkit was quickly back up on his paws, hopping over to the cat next to the tall rock. "What's your name?" he asked, carelessly and innocently stepping into the cat's space. The smells were much stronger here, coming from the nearby cracked rock. Sparrowkit wrinkled his nose again and crossed his eyes. "What is that smell? Why is it sweet.. and sour.. and icky.. all at once?"
