Determination thrummed through young veins as if it were blood itself, driving the young tomkit onward. His paws were sore and he was pretty darn hungry, but his momma had made him promise not to stop until he reached the place he had to be. To be honest, Dust hadn't wanted to leave her behind, but he understood. As young as he might be, he'd seen enough of his siblings succumb to sickness to know that when a cat died they didn't come back, and so he'd grasped on some level that if he didn't make this journey, he would soon be left on his own without any cat to look after him.

So Dust had promised her that he'd find his big brother and live a happy life with him, and that's exactly what the determined little tomkit was going to do. While he was definitely sad to no longer have his mother with him, Dust was also fairly excited! He'd been hearing about his older brother for as long as he could remember, his mother telling him tales of the great wilderness where his half-sibling helped to lead a group of powerful wildcats. And Dust was going to be one, too!

Not knoing what scent markers were, the broad little tom had wandered straight past them only to end up deep within the heart of Windclan territory. By the time any cat came across him he was assumed to just be a Windclan kit who'd wandered from the camp and as promptly sent on his way back. Dust hadn't argued, slyfully playing the part and happily agreeing to return to the nursery -whatever that was- before promptly going off in the direction the older tom had waved him off in.

With was how the dusty-spotted kitten ended up standing in the middle of Windclans camp. Icy blue eyes stared wide-eyed at the hustle and bustle of dozens of cats going about their lives within the sandy hollow, tail standing tall and whiskers twitching in excitement as he gazed around. There were so many of them! How was he going to figure out which one belonged to him?

Brimming with energy and excitement, the tenderness in his feet as almost entirely forgotten in light of this new world he'd discovered, one he was more than ready to run out and conquer!

@Periwinklebreeze. and open to other kits- please give the kits a couple posts to interact before an adult interupts to figure out what the heck it going on XD

At first, Peri had wondered if the stories the elders had told him the other day to try and put him to sleep had been make believe. Why would queens get so fat if starclan just brought kits to windclan in the middle of the night? But now's theres a new kit standing a few tail lengths away from him, and even when he gives a hard blink he's still there - so he's not dreaming. Hesitant at first, but quickly overwhelmed by curiosity, the shy boy slowly makes his way over, pale blue gaze wide and glittering in the sunlight despite the heavy bags beneath them. "h-h-hi there, 'm p-p-periwink-kle-kit. Wh-wha-ats your n-n-name?" he says softly, tail tip twitching in mild irritation at how long it takes him to say what should've been a quick and easy introduction. While he waits for an answer, his gaze quickly scans the other, heat rising to his face as he takes in the other's striking appearance and much larger figure. He gives a nervous smile of encouragement, determined to make friends with this new kit, and hopes the weird feeling will go away.

Dust felt a little like a kid in a candy-store as he stood there gazing around Windclans camp for the first time. He'd seen groups of cats before in twoleg place sitting around all amiable, but his mother had usually kept away from them, afraid they might try and hurt her or Dust. The only time she ever spoke to anyone was to ask about his brother, and so for the kit this was a huge, exciting change. He was going to be living with all these cats!

And then, if it was even possible, his excitement skyrocketted as he caught sight of a boy coming toward him. Not an adult, but a kit his age. As silly as it may have sounded, he'd never seen a kit outside of his own siblings before, and he hadn't really gotten to have a normal childhood with them since they'd all been sick. And now, well, now it as only him. But he didn't let that damper his mood! As the strange child came to a stop before him, Dust couldn't help but beam at them, excitedly running a circle around them to inspect them before coming to a stop before them again.

Ears would twitch forward as they spoke, a momentary look of confusion settling over his features as the other kit seemed to stumble over their words. Were they shivering?

"My names Dust!" he answered easily, puffing out his chest proudly as he straightened up for the other to inspect. After all, this was his first time meeting another kit, so he wanted to make sure he looked his best. Once he was certain the other had gotten a good look at him, he relaxed his shoulders a bit, padding toward the other with seemingly no concept of personal space, and attempted to brush his pelt against theirs. "Huh, you don't feel cold. he noted allowed with a slight frown of confusion. "How come your shiverin' like that?"

OOC- im sorry, he's dumb and doesn't understand what a stutter is!! <3

He wonders for a moment if he's about to be barreled into as the new kit comes running over at his nervous greeting, the smoke hued feline shying away as he comes to a stop. The other boy seems strange excitable - running circles around him in a manner that leaves peri feeling faintly dizzy when his pale lilac faze tries to keep up. Ears flick and he shakes his head for a moment, trying to stay focused now that 'Dust' is talking.

"Tch-ah" A strangled sound leaves his throat as his personal space is promptly invaded, all thoughts leaving his mind numbingly black as his brain shuts down. baby blues blink with incredulity at the casual touch, brows furrowed as the words finally catch up to him. "N-n-not cold, words are j-j-jus' hard," he mutters, a bit petulantly, a frown tugging at his lips. He doesn't know why he's like this, just that he always ahs been. He knows is called a stutter, or a stammer if you ask some cats, but he's never been given a 'why', not even by honeytwist, and he's certain she knows everything. Face flushed and body warm, his stomach a fluttering mess, he wonders idly if maybe there's something wrong with him as he shuffles back a few paw steps, hoping to put some space between him and dust. Maybe he should go visit honeytwist when he's done talking0?

A thoughtful look seemed to cross the young tomits face as he considered the others words. Hard to talk? Dust didn't think he'd ever really had that problem before, but then again, not every cat was good at everything right away. And so, ultimately he was quick to accept this fact as normal, letting a reassuring grin slip into place as he answered the other. "That's okay. I have a hard time stalking stuff cuz my feet are so big and clumsy. But momma says 'practice makes perfect', so im sure it'll get easier the more you do it!"

It as an optimistic answer that lacked any information to back it up, but he seemed entirely confident in his conclusion all the same.

As the other began to back away from him, Dust seemed oblivious to any signs they showed of being uncomfortable. He was too swept up in his own excitement to have someone to play with that he remained blissfully naive to any uncertainty the other had toward him, brimming with the boldness that Periwinklekit seemed to lack. After all, they'd approached Dust first, so that must mean they wanted to be friends, right?

"So what kind of stuff is there to do around here? I've never had a friend before, so we have to make sure to try it all together." he continued with a wave of his tail, having already promoted the other from 'stranger' to 'friend'. In fact, he was so pleased to have found someone his own age to speak with that he'd completely forgotten he'd come here to find someone. The only thing he was currently concerned with was spending as much time as possible with his shy, cute new friend.

OOC- okay, anyone can post now!!
