-ˋˏ ༻ ❆༺ ˎˊ- When mama had told her about the time Aunt Frecks had woven pretty petals into her fur, something had just about exploded behind her sunshine gaze, a whole new world discovered.
It hadn’t been difficult to find a willing subject to experiment on, Bravepaw was one of the nicer apprentices- younger too, so he wasn’t all that scary yet.
”Okay, you gotta remember to stay still- but let me know if I pull okay?” The kitten reminds the apprentice that sits in front of her, the expression she wears is serious- Littlekit’s are is no joke!
Once the terms were confirmed once more, Littlekit gives a satisfactory nod, a small chocolate paw tapping at the ground, signaling for him to lay down.
”Hmm…” there were various supplies at her disposal today, some pretty weeds that had begun to sprout around camp, twigs, flowers and other unique sprouts that she pleaded to her father and kin alike to scavenge for her when they could.
Her gaze flickers back up, squinting in thought.
Blue. Littlekit eventually decides, reaching for the scarce blue blooms she had in her collection at the moment.
It doesn’t cross her mind that her mother had neglected to tell her how Aunt Frecks had done it, but as mousey paws loop the first step between two blades of the others fur, she twists the stem again, wrapping it all up in Bravepaws pelt and securing it.
There! Far from perfect, but she would get the hang of it.
Without another thought, she reaches for the second stem, then the third.
”You’re gonna look so great!”

. ° ✦ Somehow, since his little siblings were born, Bravepaw found himself getting all caught up in far more kitten antics than before. Every passing between the nursery risked a kit practically jumping at his heels to comply with whatever they planned and it was incredibly difficult to shake them off. It's hard to tell them no, though, when they're just little kids. He was little like that once, and his older Clanmates entertained his play so it would only be fair if he continued that kindness.

"I'll do my best!" Bravepaw promised Littlekit, sitting up straight and tilting his muzzle up to the sky. Watching the clouds float by and birds swoop through the breeze while she worked little flowers into his fur. There's a little sound that came from Littlekit that sounded positive, and she confirmed with excited anticipation on when it would be finished.

"That's good! Maybe Fallowpaw will like it." Hopefully it would fix whatever 'ugly' bits she saw on him.

    A Longhaired chocolate tabby/blue tabby chimera with deep blue eyes. Very thick coat that has started to grow into long, wispy curls. Developing into an awkward stage of kitten uglies as the rest of his body grows and changes. Severe scars from owl talons stretch across his shoulders and another that starts from his back down his left thigh.

⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊ When it comes to flowers, Dwindlingkit prefers to keep them far from her long fur unless she wants them to get stuck in it forever. She hasn't tried, so the kit doesn’t know how true that is, but that’s what her mama says. That doesn’t stop her from loving how beautiful they look in fur, especially a whole bunch of them close together! In her mind, she’s an expert on all things cute and pretty.

That's why Dwindlingkit could help but stop and stare. This sure was something... Usually, a cat would decorate their fur with just flowers, perhaps pretty leaves. Littlekit was sure to take creative liberties with Bravepaw’s fur… Twigs? Is that the whole dandelion stem and all? Dwindlingkit couldn’t help but wince.

Oh! They're probably not trying to get all pretty! “Are you going out hunting later today? If you’re trying to blend in, I recommend some more twigs and leaves."

She did hear that prey were kind of smart, so trying to look like the forest was a good idea to trick them. It's so clever of Littlekit!

Butterflyskip much preferred to spend time in camp with the others as opposed to going out and attending to his warrior duties - which he would do, as it was necessary, but his true fondness for clan life lay in things like this. Kit antics, sharing tongues, and peaceful conversations. After dropping off a piece of prey at the fresh-kill pile, the cream and ginger warrior joins the apprentice and the two kits, looking on thoughtfully, watching Littlekit tie the little blooms into Bravepaw's chocolate fur. "The blue was a wonderful choice, Littlekit," he purrs, momentarily closing his eyes, "it looks lovely already." His first thought too would be to use mostly flowers - after all, that was what he did do, but Dwindlingkit's point about camouflage is a good one too - and because she'd likely had all of these things brought back to her, he wanted to reassure Littlekit that it would be perfectly alright if she didn't have enough flowers. Just in case. "The leaves sound like a good idea, too. Prey wouldn't be able to see you in the bushes like that."

༻ ♥༺ Maybe Fallowpaw will like it. The mused statement isn’t enough to make Littlekit pause her work, but it does prompt moon-round pupils to shift from the large paws that work through fur tufts to the back of the others ear. Fallowpaw? Why did Bravepaw care what she thought? Littlekit didn’t care much for even her littermates opinions on her appearance.
Finished with the indigo blossoms that now freckled the apprentices spine, Littlekit has turned to her materials once more when Dwindlingkit bounces over, her question making Littlekit’s bottom lip puff in a contemplative frown.
“…What do you mean?” Littlekit finally asks, hesitantly reaching for a small pile of sage green leaves, surely these would compliment the blue.
Butterflyskip also seems to think Bravepaw is going hunting later, and Littlekit blinks up at the warrior, utterly confused.
“‘M making him… spiffy.” Littlekit tries to explain her true intentions, though she doesn’t know the extract meaning of the word- she had heard it used once or twice before, usually to describe something nice.
With a small, puzzled shake of her head, the chocolate kitten turns back to her canvas, loosely tying her leaves between the gaps of the flowers. Finally, a particularly interestingly-shaped twig would finish the look off. It’s a small thing, the bulk of it made up of one singular stem, with another, much shorter branch splitting off about half-way through. The tips of each, however, were what made this twig special. They curved in, as though trying to reach each other, barely brushing against one another, and in the end they created two half-arches. With a thoughtful hum, Littlekit eventually tucked the twig at the base of Bravepaw’s ear, stepping back to admire her work.
Golden eyes don’t dare to stray to the two that watched, afraid of becoming all nervous like she usually does with an audience.
“There, spiffy.”

. ° ✦ Dwindlingkit and Butterflyskip don't appear to understand the purpose of what Littlekit was trying to do. The younger of the pair assumed he was being dressed in some sort of camouflage to assist in his hunting (though he would proudly say he doesn't need such help). The warrior chimed in with the same, and Bravepaw laughed in good nature.

"This isn't for hunting. Littlekit's making me look nice." Spiffy, she went on to say.

"Well, Fallowpaw doesn't hang around apprentices that don't look nice. And I'm her friend, so I gotta fix that so we can keep being friends." He explained patiently and he tried his best not to twitch his ear as she shoved something behind it. But it felt itchy, prodding at the thinner parts of his fur until she found a place for it to rest comfortably. That seemed to be the finishing touch, and Bravepaw stood and walked in a short circle for his Clanmates to see.

"Yeah? I think I feel spiffy too, Littlekit!" All he could smell was sage and flowers, that had to mean he looked good.
