The patrol to the Twolegplace border had been a success, if only because no kits had hunted SkyClanners instead of the colourful eggs scattered about. Momowhisker didn't know the customs of Twolegs as well as he liked, he couldn't ever imagine his own littering the garden with weird little things, but something told him that they'd have sooner forgotten about their ceremony or game as soon as a 'kitty' was around. Luckily, they'd been absolutely awful at searching, not only had the Twolegs not found the patrol, they'd also left behind enough eggs to fill the freshkill pile (they weren't real, but the thought was nice). It hadn't taken much convincing to bring the leftovers back to camp, and so, the blue lynx point strutted a short distance ahead of the patrol, smile creeping past two eggs held in his maw. Momowhisker may not have been carrying a plump pigeon or hare, but he felt proud all the same, there was a great mystery to be solved after all - what was inside the eggs?
Padding into camp, the Daylight Warrior briefly turned towards the rest of the patrol, blue eyes briefly widening at the gap between them. He thought he'd only been a mouselength ahead, but long limbs had carried him at least a good foxlength or so. Clearing his throat, Momowhisker whipped his head back around. "We come bearing gifts!" The theatrical tom mewed, placing a paw proudly upon his cream chest. He didn't know whether it was pride or nerves that fluttered in his heart as he announced the return of the patrol, either way, he tried to ignore it as he dropped some of his eggs onto the earth in front of him, the things beginning a slow roll towards a divet in the camp. Narrow jaws hadn't done the best job of carrying them, but he didn't think the odd crinkle or puncture would prevent the kittens from enjoying their playtime. "I... don't know what sort of egg they are," he admitted to the first cat he saw. "But they look cool, right?" Some were patterned with swirls, others polka dots, some even rainbows. Even if his eyes could not see the same colours that Twolegs could, he could appreciate how diverse the eggs looked - it was just a shame that some were about to get smashed in the name of science.
