[ Slight TW for emetophobia - nothing bad! Just a quick mention :) ]
As a purveyor of the strange and eccentric, Cuckookit found themselves wandering along the ends of Skyclan's shadow-shrouded camp. Longhaired purls of matted pelt dragged along the snowdrift, tracking grime and muck everywhere that they happened upon. Still-rosied nose twitched as wintry winds bit at their whiskers, though did not impend itself upon their bird-bone frame. They didn't mind the snow, as their thick coat tended to shield them from the worst of the intrusive talons of cold. They hadn't known a life outside of leaf-bare anyhow, so they hadn't learned to expect more from the world. As they wandered, keen eyes caught upon something amongst the alabaster, and the little kitten stopped in their tracks. Curtains of gloom pulled back slowly to reveal an oddly spherical thing, like an umber stone born from nightly hue, though perhaps much less graceful than one crafted of nil. He almost tripped as they plodded through the snow to reach the ovalline object. I remember this... I think one of the queens talked about how owls leave the bones of their prey on the ground. One uncertain paw reached out to bat at the owl pellet, the weirdly-fuzzy texture of the surface like a catachresis of its appearance, for this was no pebble nor mossball. They sniffed it next, noting the vague staleness that wrapped along the pellet, like a distant whiff of crowfood. They plucked it up with kitten fangs, and carried it into the light as though it were a wreath of satiny browns beneath their teeth, a point of pride and never contention. The circumstances by which the owl pellet arose scared them, but fascination often overshadowed fear in young minds. They toddled around until they came across an unattended warrior.
"... Hey." Cuckookit poked at the sable-coated leg of the first warrior to cross his vision. He plopped the owl pellet down at Ekat's feet, though their blank expression betrayed nothing in the manner of which he thought of the oddity. "Look at this. I heard it's owl vomit... So weird..."
( Please wait for @Ekat ! )
