☀ . ° ✦ As the nursery cleared out more kittens to be made apprentices, Bravekit was left without more and more friends to play. While the tom absolutely adored his family and wouldn't imagine a better playmate than his littermates, the more kits around had made things all the merrier. Bigger groups meant more to make Journey Cats feel real, more kits meant he was rarely bored even after hours of play. They all played differently, had different ideas and rules for games.
Now he was left with his littermates and Softkit and... the other Softkit. He missed being able to convince the older kits to ask the elders to oblige them with stories or secret shares of their prey for quick snacks. But now that there were so few left Bravekit realized how close his turn would be to leave the nursery. He would be joining the warriors and apprentices, reunited with his old denmates but no longer gifted with countless hours of lazy fun but paw-aching work.
His thoughts had his stare distantly zoning out in the direction of the apprentices den. Imagining himself, Cougarkit and Hazekit all in there. It was when a familiar scarred pelt emerged from the ferns that Bravekit blinked back to what was in front of him, imaginary visions dispersing as his paws bounded after his old friend.
"Fallowpaw! Fallowpaw!" He shouted as if she weren't a few tail-lengths away. "Hi! It's been so long since we played!" Her apprentice ceremony was only a week ago. "How is it being out of camp now? Is it a lot different from being in camp?" The questions came rolling before Fallowpaw could even start to slink away and avoid him, and if she had started to pad away he would be hot on her heels in excited hops.
