[violetkit]

Snow was beginning to melt, and the sun lingered in the sky longer now than it did a few sunrises ago. Violetkit had no idea what this change meant, what it even was - the little molly didn't understand seasons yet. She didn't understand the tribulations of heavy snow and scarce prey, nor the ease of life that came with thick moor grasses and plentiful fauna running between it. What mattered to her was the fact that she could stay longer outside of the nursery now! Yay!! She was still herded inside when the skyline turned orange, but it felt like she could be outside so much longer now. Early kithood being pent up in the nursery - sometimes for the weather, and sometimes for her behavior, but she'd NEVER admit to such a thing as being PUNISHED - made for quite the wired, wound up Violetkit.

Finding Snakehiss wasn't hard, but getting his attention? A challenge that Violetkit, frustratingly enough, struggled to rise to. Maybe there were just too many other kits! It wasn't fair, the amount of screaming and yelling she had to do to be heard over them sometimes! Attention should be on her, what did, like, Ferretkit or Grasskit do to deserve attention? How come Frightkit always got a kiss from her mom?? Where was Violetkit's kiss??

"Dad!" The little tortoiseshell raised her voice as she bounced out of the nursery, following the familiar lithe shadow that slunk through camp. Her eyebrows knit into a frustration as Snakehiss kept walking away. The possibility of him not hearing her, a quiet kitten voice lost in the commotion of WindClan, was not even an option in her mind. He was IGNORING her! What the heck! "DAD!" She yells again, bounding after him in big big strides for her little little paws. With a big leap Violetkit aimed for Snakehiss' tail, grappling it between her front paws and sinking kitten-sharp teeth into it to grip on tight. If he was gonna keep on walking, he was taking her with him!

[SNAKEHISS]

As soon as Snakehiss hears Violetkit's demands for attention, his heart lurches. Oh StarClan, what could she want? Whatever it is, why couldn't she just bother Gorsepetal or her littermates? Snakehiss wanted no part in rearing them. He was just there to bring them all their meals and watch from afar, nothing else. Playing with them and entertaining their kitten antics had not been a part of his expectations, at least as far as he was concerned.

The moor runner makes for the exit of camp, momentarily forgetting the fact that a chaperone had to accompany him. He hopes he can slip away for a little while and sneak back in without having to deal with—"ACK—!" Snakehiss yelps and jumps up as a sharp pain radiates from the tip of his tail.

He casts a fiery stare behind him, landing right onto the visual of Violetkit using his tail as a teething device. "Violetkit!" Snakehiss exclaims, now truly embracing the energy of a stern parent—and why shouldn't he? The little bugger had bit him! Such actions would not be tolerated by him; a kit getting their slobber all over his fur was gross as it was.

The long-limbed tom aimed to yank his tail away from his daughter's snapping jaws, protectively sweeping it behind him as he now fully faced the little tortoiseshell kit. "What ever could be the issue?" He inquires sharply, pure irritation crackling up and down his spine like electricity.

[violetkit]

It worked! It actually worked! Excitement lights up Violetkit's eyes as she relents her father's tail, practically bouncing on her paws. She has to fight the urge to chase after his tail as he sweeps it behind him, although the feeling is no longer intentional and rather the same itch that would send her sprinting after a skittering mouse once she reached apprenticehood. The little molly puffs her chest out, flashing her matching white patch at her father as she stretches her neck back in an attempt to look tall and proud. Violetkit spreads her paws apart to take a "stronger" stance. Her eyebrows draw down, matching Snakehiss' scowl to the best of her ability. Such a sharp expression wasn't all too uncommon on Violetkit - it was a face she saw often, namely because she was often in trouble for one thing or another. Kits reflected what they saw, what they were taught.

"What ever could be the issue?" Snakehiss questions her, and Violetkit fiiiiinaaalllyyyyy gets to TALK to him! "I want to spend TIME with you." She announces, stamping a little paw down to emphasize her words. It's not much of a request, there's no room for Snakehiss to get out of this - it's a command from Violetkit, and everyone is supposed to listen to Violetkit. "You never come see me," the force drains from her voice into a whine instead, avoiding the usage of us in regards to her sibling and focusing on herself instead. "We can - we can, um, play mossball! Or... KitClan! You can be a Lead Warrior, of course, because Frightheart is already Deputy. You'll always be something cool though, because you're cool!" Violetkit shuffles her paws excitedly. "Or you could groom me!! I saw Nighin..." Violetkit pauses. She knew the name in her head, but saying it was hard. "Nit..." Ugh! No no no! Violetkit's face scrunches, focusing hard. "Nigh...ting...gale...cry!" YES!! Violetkit beams up at Snakehiss, clearly proud of herself. "She was cleaning Frightkit! I want that too!" How come they could, but she couldn't? She was a good kid too!
