ERMINEKIT
he/him || 3 moons || WindClan Kit

There weren't many super high vantage points in camp, much to Erminekit's chagrin - of course, there was always where Sunstar addressed the clan, but the last thing Ermine needed right now was an earful about how he isn't 'respecting clan ranks' or whatever that all means. But he just wants to feel the breeze ruffle his fur, to close his eyes and imagine he could soar like the birds that fly overhead all day. Was that too much to ask for? Parts of camp were shielded from the wind (which Ermine finds stupid, WindClan cats should want to be graced by the breeze all the time, but whatever), so he moves to a space that's more open... and if it just so happens to be right next to the fresh-kill, well... sue him if he's a little hungry! He's a growing boy!​

Weepingkit, since she was brought into WindClan with her sister, has spent most of the past couple weeks hiding away in the nursery or other secluded corners of camp. Crying softly, refusing the company of others, and fearfully watching these strangers go about their days. It seems, however, that Wolfsong had talked a bit of bravery into her - at least, enough to get her out and moving about.

She is cautious in her steps and looks around frequently, owl-like. Periwinklebreeze was not around to nudge her out of the nursery this morning and, hungry enough, Weepingkit had decided to go out on her own today. Soft white paws carry her, light as a feather, across camp while avoiding as many cats as she can, until she's made her way to the fresh-kill pile.

She's never seen so much prey until WindClan. Her mother hunted for two, and it wasn't uncommon to miss a meal. Here, she could eat whenever she wanted.. at the cost of paying it back one day as an apprentice. But, that's a problem for apprentice Weepingkit, and she is not yet a -paw. So, she indulges.

I will be brave for you. I hope you will be brave for me. Those words from Wolfsong ring in her head as she walks straight past the nearby kit, giving him a nervous glance in the process but keeping her mouth shut. Even as she rummages through the pile for a prey fit for her size, the girl's head turns warily towards the grey kitten. Somewhere inside, she longs to speak to her denmates, to get out of this shell she's been stuck in for what felt like ages. Decidedly, remembering the medicine cat's wisdom, she decides she will try her best.

Weepingkit approaches Erminekit with a freshly caught mouse, the biggest thing she could carry, although its tail drags across the ground. "Um -" she clears her throat, dropping the prey between their paws and looking down at it solemnly. It takes a great deal of bravery to approach another kit - did Wolfsong believe in her still? "Do you.. want to share?"

Her new den is dark, dank with milk and kitscent, and crowded. Murmurs from the attending queens erupt around indignant mewls. Rattleheart curls protectively around his tiny kits, while Periwinklebreeze has his work cut out for him herding his six moon old litter; she's personally glad they'll be gone soon. Sunstar will need another set of paws on the council, and the nursery is simply too crowded for Vulturekit, Bilberrykit, and Dustkit's sizable paws. She finds herself suffocated by the nearness of it all; it's claustrophobic in a different way than the tunnels she's traversed since kithood.

Bluefrost squeezes her way from the mouth of the gorse bush, green eyes blinking sunlight away. Two of the kits have trailed toward the fresh-kill pile. My denmates, she thinks sourly. Erminekit is rambunctious, while Weepingkit is... she's one of those rogue kittens Periwinklebreeze had thought wise to smuggle into their camp. She personally does not understand why; hadn't he had his fill of outsiders' spawn?

She nears the fresh-kill pile, a quiet rumbling in her stomach reminding her of her hunger. She watches the two kits pick through it with some impatience. "Share this rabbit with me," she commands, latching her teeth into the leg of a windblown beast. "It is too big for me to eat alone." Her tone is not soft, like the kits are likely used to hearing; she uses her authoritative voice, the voice of a lead warrior, of a child of Sootstar.

Periwinklebreeze is sure to keep a keen eye on his newest charges - while he's not quite settle into thinking of them as his own, they're still his responsibility at the very least. It'd been he and Gravelsnap who'd fund them, who'd asked them to be allowed to stay. He will make sure they will learn what they need to so that they will nto be turned away. Weepingkit, though quieter then her sibling, eems to be adjusting well enough - even approaching the other kits these days, and so the queen sees no reason to step in - not even when Bluefrosts impatience seems to get the best of her as she all but orders them to share with her instead. It doesn't worry him in the slightest - that's just her personality.

ERMINEKIT
he/him || 3 moons || WindClan Kit

Soon, his solitude is interrupted by not one, but two souls dare to show their maws... or so Erminekit would have though if he'd been any meaner, but he simply wasn't, so these new faces didn't much bother him. In fact, the little grey kitten found the company pleasant... he did not like the friendship of solitude. Weepingkit (had Ermine ever even spoken to her?? He doesn't think so, but he knows her name just as everyone in WindClan does... outsider...) wanders over, and pale yellow eyes track her with interest as she picks a big mouse off the fresh-kill pile and asks to share. Erminekit can't even get a word in before Bluefrost instead drops a rabbit at their paws, and commands for the kits to share with her, not even giving them a choice.

"Weepingkit just brought the mouse, though," he points out, flicking to the rodent between his and the she-kit's ways with his tail. "Maybe there's someone else who wants to share?" The suggestion is accompanies with a tilt of his head, floppy ear bouncing with the movement. Part of Ermine worries that came across as rude and disobedient but... the mouse was literally sitting right there, did Bluefrost just not see it? Still, though, he said for her to maybe find someone else, and Ermine didn't want to suggest that without at least trying to find a suitable cat for the job, so he casts a look around the clearing and into the dens, trying to spot anyone who might make eye contact with him so he could then force ... ahem... ask them to share with the Lead Warrior. He grins when he spots Periwinklebreeze inside the nursery's opening.

"PERIWINKLE!!" He shouts, lifting a paw up and batting the air to get the queen's attention, "come eat Bluefrost's rabbit with her!!"
