pafp STARS THAT BURN THE BRIGHTEST ࿏ swim practice

[Pinepaw ⭒]

-ˋˏ ༻ ❆༺ ˎˊ- The swollen presence of two-legs and all their problems that dragged behind them were still ever-present, seemed to be drawn in by the same warm weather that draws her out of the nursery each morning.
She would be an apprentice soon, before green-leaf was over, or so Pinekit was told. Games of moss-ball and Clan seemed useless to her now, and if she wants to be one of the best, she would make herself into a child prodigy, like her mother had been. Unfortunately for Pinekit, she was not blessed with her mothers narrow frame, it seemed the tortoiseshell kitten only grew squarer with age, her paws and shoulders already visibly broader than many of her denmates. She did not float, she sank.
As the flame-ribboned kitten sits under the sweltering sun, her shoulders shift uncomfortably at the reminder of her difference, and that it would make her need to work harder. Frankly, she’d rather not ask one of the queens to accompany her to the island's shallows, and it’s only when honeyed hues snag onto another patchwork figure that they begin to glow with an idea. Making sure her mother was aware of her intents first, she’d run over to Midnightpaw. The other was rough around the edges, blunt and critical- which meant she would be perfect for what Pinekit needed now. “Midnightpaw! Wanna come with me to the shore?” Pinekit pauses, her head raised and tone a mimic of her mothers cool confidence. “I need someone to take a look at my form, in the water ya’know? What do you say?” Even if the other wasn’t interested, Pinekit was sure she could figure out something one way or another.

[MIDNIGHTASH]

જ➶ Dragging that fish into camp had been a struggle on its
own. She had had to fight the darn thing on the shore. Plus the tail had slapped her in the face. Needless to say she is not a happy camper at the moment and it shows in her sweltering gaze as she looks down at her own paws. Pale pink tongue slides and pulls against her pad as she calms herself down. Thinking though about breaking that fish's spine and leaving it for dead. Definitely would serve the fish right but it lays on the prey pile fron all of her effort. Pausing in the cleaning of her paws she allows amber orbs to lift up as she hears the sudden pattering of smaller paws. It makes her curious to note Pinekit coming over to her and she lifts her head up. Cool gaze watches the other as she speaks her intent and the apprentice makes a face. One of slight annoyance given she just laid down. Her eyes sweep around the camp as if she can pass Pinekit off to someone else but the others seem busy too. "You want me to look at your swimming form?" Her words finally leave as she turns her harsh gaze back on the kit.

She might as well as she doesn't have anything else better to do at the moment. With a rough sigh she pushes herself to her paws and steps around Pinekit. "Well, come on then. I bet you might be slightly impressive since you have been working on it, right? You'll be an apprentice soon." Her tail motions for the child to follow her toward the shallows as she steps across the ground. ​

She watches her daughter from near the nursery. Blue eyes take in an angled jaw, broad shoulders, a body that's beginning to find hard edges. She is not the lean, compact shape of Iciclefang, despite their shared tortoiseshell markings; no, she can see Stormywing, ThunderClan in those lines, and it begins to cause her heart to flutter.

Keep a straight face, Iciclefang. She still resembles you more than anyone. And besides, which cats would be studying the figures of random ThunderClan warriors anytime soon? Certainly not her self-involved, silly-willed Clanmates.

Iciclefang's purr begins to rattle in her chest as Pinekit approaches one of the stronger apprentices for swimming advice. The tortoiseshell queen notes the size of Midnightpaw's catch and murmurs, "Excellent job. I'm sure there's plenty you can learn from her, Pinekit." She resists the urge to take over, to wade into the river with her daughter instead; she cannot hover, cannot smother, as much as the temptation is there. Her kits are five moons now, nearly grown, nearly apprentice-aged, and though there's something cloyingly bittersweet about it, she knows she'd better let them begin to do somethings on their own.

Moons had passed since her kittens first venture into the waters. Once the little ones could hardly hold their heads over the water and squealed at the new sensation of soaked fur. Riverpaw rolled, dunking his whole body below the surface and shocked himself. Shellpaw had played the mediator between her own littermates and her younger siblings rambunctious play.

"Look at all these catfish in the river!" Her catfish would swim free into the river so soon now, she wondered if Iciclefang shared the same thoughts.

"Are you thinking of mentoring any of them?" The queen asked as she closed the distance between them and sat beside her. "Pinekit is definitely the leader of the pack. She takes a lot of initiative, like you." Eveningkit was similar to the young molly. Hazecloud would love to have any of them as her apprentice, though she trusted their mother's decision for their mentors.
