He hobbles and he bobbles forward, clambering over the curl of red fur and tucked stripped paws to make his escape. Sunfreckle is sleeping, he'd been a heavy sleeper lately and it was a wonder he woke up at all sometimes; it could be a leaf blowing by to touch his nose that stirs him but its never the crash of thunder that shakes the trees and darkens the skies. Either way, Pigeonkit is taking advantage of it, excitable little brain riddled with awe and interest and he had squeezed away from the pile of his much larger siblings without much notice - so he thought.
Tiny white paws slammed down a little too heavy with each step, slapping the ground as he plodded along and came across his first interesting sight in the camp. A pile of things, unmoving things, things that might be cats but were shaped wrong and smelled like hot mornings and sharpness. The kitten stares, or it seems like he does, his long fur billows around his form and an especially large tuft of it covers his eyes in such a way he appears to not even have them; shrouded in a pale blue pelt. After a moment of standing there wobbling in place on unsteady kitten legs he lunges without warning, tiny teeth sinking into what he does not know is called a squirrel and he drags it, wrestling it out of the pile to the best of his abilities - which was not a lot. It was almost as big as he was and certainly heavier and his efforts only tugged it slightly forward enough to tip the entire pile but he does not stop; shrill little growls rise up from his throat, he thrashes violently from side to side before eventually tuckering himself out and drapping his tired form over the squirrel in the midst of the freshkill pile he had left in ruin.
