pafp WHAT A PRODIGAL NIGHT — INTERROGATION

[SINGEDTHROAT]

︿─︿.𖥔 ݁ ˖︿─︿//please wait for @SNAKEHISS
this is ofc set before the rogue attack :)

The dark feline is easy to find in camp. Father and Ðir are busy doing important deputy and medicine cat things, and they are all old enough to walk through camp without an escort. Father wasn't always a deputy, but he is now— and Singedkit overheard why. It has been a few weeks since then, nights where Singedkit watches a restless Featherkit while wondering about Badgermoon. What is it like to be a traitor? Where would someone so shameful even live? Maybe deep, deep underground, even deeper than where the tunnelers are so StarClan can't see.

Just recently, they heard Ðir mention that Snakehiss was Badgermoon's apprentice. They didn't know who Snakehiss was before they'd asked a warrior to point him out to them, and now that Snakehiss is within sight, Singedkit cannot pass up on the opportunity. "Hello Snakehiss," they greet politely, as they've been raised to. "Do you have to be an apprentice again? Since your mentor wasn't any good. Is that where you got your scar? Because he didn't teach you how to fight very well?" ​

SINGEDKIT of WINDCLAN CHILD OF WOLFSONG AND SUNSTRIDE. 3 MOONS OLD, THEY/THEM. BORN ON 09.08.2023.

general information physicality personality interaction

• — Sibling to Bearkit, Rivekit,, Sunlitkit, & Featherkit. Second-born child named after their pelt-color to invoke ember-like imagery.
  — Uses they/them pronouns only; will not respond to the use of any others. Too young for romantic relationships; sexuality TBD.
• — Small compared to the average WindClan kit. The runt of the litter who has greatly taken after Wolfsong's height, but with Sunstride's slimmer structure. Will progress in size as an apprentice, but will not tower over the clan as their father does.
  — Eyes are a striking, frost-hewn blue paler than both their parents' eyes, and without a tinge of green. Often narrowed, even as a kit, primarily a physical trait picked up from Wolfsong.
• — While they do not have the appearance of a light-hearted demeanor, they are relatively friendly with clanmates and are known to have a youthful charm, with a smile that can't help but to be mirrored. It comes quite naturally to them, though they do mimic their parents to better endear themself to other people.
  — Singedkit seems to take after the snake's skin fed to Wolfsong. Their friendliness is the swaying grass that the snake's slither matches in rhythm, disguised by innocuous scenery. As a kit, this manifests as little more than (mostly) harmless schemes.
• — Peaceful actions may be powerplayed, such as shoulder brushes, light bumps, and playfully intended gestures. Violent or harmful actions can be attempted with a ping for this account.
  — Please note that while peaceful actions can be powerplayed, and while most will be received or even reciprocated, there is a chance Singedkit will become discomfited and react aggressively.

[SNAKEHISS]

It was a strange feeling, letting the days go on and resume their normal routines all while a big part of WindClan was absent. Snakehiss was still struggling to process recent events, with this loss hitting him particularly hard, but he has not ceased to complete his duties and carry on business as usual.

Having just returned from a hunting patrol, Snakehiss' beeline toward his nest had been suddenly interrupted by a small voice — agitating, grating to the ear. Viridian eyes narrow and look downward, fixing on the youth. Their resemblance to their fathers was unmistakable, with those bright blue eyes, distinctive tabby patterning, and striking mane. It was apparent that this bloodline was determined to pester Snakehiss in one way or another, but this time, the kit's questions unexpectedly struck a deep nerve. A displeased scowl etches onto his dark maw, skin prickling and hot with embarrassment and shame. How dare they bring up Badgermoon in his presence!

Badgermoon had been a great mentor, one of the best WindClan had to offer — he was a talented hunter and fighter, and it was absolutely gutting how the clan's ranks had lost him to treachery. Snakehiss' first instinct may have been to boast about how his training under the former deputy had been top-notch, but now it would be unwise to speak kindly of him. For now, Snakehiss reroutes his train of thought and growls, all while aiming to cuff Singedkit over the ear, "Clearly, neither of your parents have taught you to keep your nose where it belongs." He feels his actions and words were justified — the child of two high ranks should definitely know their manners.

He lashes his tail irritably, flicking his ears back and glaring down icily at the medicine cat and deputy's spawn, "A word of advice, kit — be careful running your mouth. You may very well offend the wrong cat one day, and you'll receive much worse than a cuff over the ears." Singedkit was lucky they hadn't said such things to Sootstar herself! The leader surely would not hesitate to unleash her wrath upon a tiny kit, especially in response to a sensitive subject.

︿─︿.𖥔 ݁ ˖︿─︿Singedkit watches Snakehiss— studies him, in fact, for the shift of body language and expression heralding anger. They are not disappointed, though Snakehiss does not speak before first catching them in the side of the head with a paw, over their ear. They had not anticipated violence as a response, and for a moment, they merely blink, regaining their footing. "My parents have taught me what a real warrior is," they say quietly, though despite the low volume, there is no trace of meek timidity. It is cold and harsh, and their eyes narrow until only a sliver of blue is visible. "The cat you struck me for is not one." They reason it is a layered insult; Snakehiss may have been defending his own pride, or perhaps Badgermoon's memory. Either way, the statement holds true.

Their gaze drifts down to Snakehiss' paw, the one he raised against them, and a howling fury gains momentum in their chest. Without warning, they lunge forward and attempt to sink their teeth into his paw.​

Pearlykit does not know what Snakehiss and Singedkit are talking about when he sees them. All he knows is that Snakehiss is always cranky and so he stays away from him. Not because he's afraid, but because Pearlykit knows he will bite the older tom and probably get in trouble. What if he gets grounded?? Awful. But to his surprise, he sees Snakehiss try to cuff Singedkit over the ears! Pearlykit has been cuffed before. Its no big deal. But it was by a queen, he didn't know OTHER cats could cuff him too, damn.

Armed with this knowledge, he must be careful. What if someone cuffs him so hard his ears come off? His ears were quite big, having not grown into them yet. They'll never take his ears!!! But then...He sees Singedkit bite back! All thoughts of being careful and behaving are GONE.

He runs up to them with his claws out, unbalanced but still on course. "ARE WE FIGHTING!?" He squeals excitedly. He looks to Snakehiss, his unfortunate target. "I'M GONNA EAT YOU!!" He cries out and with a loud "AAAAAAMPH" He bites Snakehiss on the hindleg with little kitten teeth.​
