[ @Graykit @snowkit @LAKEMOON but no need to wait for any of them!! <3 ]

Splashpaw shakes out her pelt, water still clinging to her fur as she escapes the river's edge. She's still not caught a fish yet, but she's plenty good at gathering some lonely frogs. She thinks they followed the stream south-bound and ended up riverside which... isn't horrible. Last she knew, ShadowClan was having a StarClan-level battle with amphibians. Maybe they've finally settled it. Regardless, with two frogs hanging from her maw, she finds the nursery and drops the prey by her mentor's children. She prepares herself for the moons-old argument.

"You won't turn into a frog, I promise," she starts, anticipating either one of them to speak up.​
 
-`♡´- "Hmm... I don't know about that!" Snowkit is quick to quip and quicker to pounce on the apprentice's splendid offering of exotic foods. He takes a bite of the strangely simultaneously watery yet legged creature and starts to quiver dramatically, "Great Starclan, what's going on?!" The grey-splashed kit leaps up and aims a springing pounce onto the nearest tail, "You trickster! Did you see that hop? I'm turning into a frog as we speak!"

Her tummy grumbles and he swivels on his paws to return to his abandoned meal, abruptly ending the show in favor of rectifying it. She glances at the towering, ever-stern presence of her mother and adds an overly rehearsed, "Thank you Splashpaw for catching the foooodddd... And thank you Starclan for its liiiiiffeee...."

She sinks her teeth into it again with a satisfying CRUNCH and decides that frog is actually pretty good... Not that Snowkit was ever a picky eater, but....

Graykit has made it no secret, the way he feels about Splashpaw's presence. She is an outsider, a change in the smoothly flowing river that is his day to day life. And what's worse is now she was to be mentored by his mother. His mother. Lakemoon was supposed to be his mentor (or so he had been imagining when he thought of his apprenticeship) But now? Now he had little hope of that dream coming to fruition and it stung worse than Pinekit's needle sharp teeth buried in his leg. So when he watches them come prancing back into camp after a hunt, frogs dangling in the shadow-pelted apprentices mouth, his first instinct is to turn away, to head back to the nursery and pretend he didn't see them. But then he met his mothers eyes and how was he meant to deny her? So on reluctant feet, he pads forward after Snowkit, ever his sister's shadow.

Snowkit has always been so much braver than him and he watches as he lunges forward and takes a bite then proceeds to bounce around like a frog, claiming Splashpaw tricked him. Graykit's nose twitches in hardly disguised amusement but the small smile that has found its way to his features drops the second he realizes that there is a second frog - what is expected of him too. His gaze flickers to his mother, then "Do I have to?" he asks, his voice a quiet plea. Please don't make me do this his eyes seem to beg.

    GRAYKIT RIVERCLAN KITTEN ; HE / HIM
    LILYBLOOM X LAKEMOON BROTHER TO SNOWKIT
    A plush coated kitten with a pelt marbled in varying shades of gray and white. He has dull green eyes and a tall stature. Most of his personality can be described as carefree though some also say that unmotivated is a more than apt term. His trust and love is easily won through praise but he will do little work to receive it.
    easy in battle + no formal training
 
〕Frogs had never been something that was- appetizing to say the least. Their skin always looked so rubbery and they smell was strange to say the least but yet it was an important part of their diet wasnt it? They didnt know to be honest but they did know they wouldn’t be caught dead eating a frog. No matter how starving they were really, and that was just a fact.

Still as the black and white cat had been sitting nearby, they couldnt help but agree with Graykit, “No you dont have too, no one can make you do anything you dont want to do,” They assured the young kitten and gave a small flick of their tail. Frog was an acquired taste anyway wasnt it? Splashpaw and many others had refined palettes then or something really.

જ➶ Tilting her head slightly as the kits gather around the molly raises herself up only because she notices Magpiepaw coming forth. Her muzzle scrunches up ss she sees the frogs presented to the kits. Glancing toward Graykit she notices easily that the child doesn't want to try the offending amphibians before him. Sighing with a slight measure of irritation she nods to Magpiepaw's words. "That's right. Besides frogs are....only made for certain palates. I can get you a fish if you'd like one." Her tone is gentle as she flicks an ear, glancing toward Splashpaw then with an even look. "Shadowclan habits die hard for you?" The older apprentice asks casually as she waits for the kit's answer.

”Perhaps, in the very least, you can thank Splashpaw for catching the frogs for you and Snowkit?” Robinheart suggests almost meekly, as if her time in the medicine den has erased any authority she held as a queen in the nursery. Her gentle citrine gaze rests upon Graykit just as a soft smile is directed towards him. Certainly she would not eat a frog (the taste of one in her mouth when she brought it to Valepaw to play with was gross) however she would be singing her praises to anyone who caught one for her. Hunting in any capacity should be praised - it’s a trait she hopes to pass along to her children. The tortoiseshell glances around the nursery for her kits, her visit much anticipated and in the back of her mind she wonders if any of her three would want to try Splashpaw’s frogs.

Golden eyes picked apart the frog meant for other mouths, attention like an irritation crooning upon unwieldy crevices, as she had never before seen such a magnificent creature. With bulging eyes and spiraling tongue, Algaekit imagined its last cries to be a terrible screech of life rather than a silent whisper of death. How could it not resonate that way, with its gaping maw that harbored no teeth to bite with? "... Want to turn into frog. How do that?" Unsettling lullaby of Algaekit's voice rested upon the ears of the crowd, like a berceuse crafted of bone and sinew note, a sort of creeping feeling presiding at one's nape. He then turned wide twin suns towards the crowd, as if the adults could enlighten her on an answer, for she hung on their every word like gospel.

  • —— ALGAEKIT / He/She / 2 Moons
    —— Kitten of Riverclan / Sibling to Redkit and Rivuletkit / Mentored by N/A
    —— A wiry, wild-furred blue tortoiseshell with high white and freckle-like spotting. Brilliant yellow eyes, like twin molten suns.
    —— Chaotic, obsessive and strange, Algaekit is a weirdly refreshing character to encounter amongst the sea of her dutiful kin. Beset by nature and her patterns, he is quick to connect the dots even when no such connection truly exists. Somewhat easy to befriend, provided that one can handle his bluntness and honesty at times.
