Camp Clearing

First topic message reminder :

BrightEyes: *looks around and flicks tail, looks around and heads off towards the borders*

Foxkit runs across the clearing towards Darkstar's den

Polarkit pounded after her friend. Her chest fur was puffed out daringly.

Pumpkinpaw watched the two cats bound off to the leader's den. He flattened his ears, unable to help himself from being too curious. "A-ah..Polarkit, Foxkit..what're you two doing..?" He mewed quietly.

Foxkit sees Pumpkinpaw and her bristling fur settles a bit "We want to talk to Darkstar about being apprentices, since we should be them by now."

(Polar's going to be insensitive to Pumpkin in the beginning XD)

Polarkit stared at Pumpkinpaw, frustrated slightly that he stopped them. "We should be in the apprentice den too! Is Darkstar here? We need to talk to him."

Pumpkinpaw flinches slightly at Polarkit's harsh tone. "O-oh..I see." He then smiles shyly at both of them. "I completely agree with both of you..I think you two have been 'kits' far too long.."

Polarkit's ears perked up at Pumpkinpaw's gentle tone. I shouldn't snap at him.. He's obviously really sensitive. Tch. "Is he here? You'd know better than us."

Foxkit looks to her friend and Pumpkinpaw, waiting for an answer

"Um.." He shakes his head a little. "No..I-..I don't think he is..He may be out on a patrol.." His voice gradually lowers, not wanting to upset the two.

Polarkit's tail drooped. "Humph. Well we'll have to talk to him when he gets back, wont we Foxkit?"

Pumpkinpaw frowned. "I'm sorry.." He muttered, his ears falling to the sides of his head.

Polarkit twitched her whiskers. "Why're you opologizing?"

"I-I didn't mean to get your hopes up, and crush them so quickly.." He shuffled his paws, looking away.

The she-kit was slightly confused. She watched Pumpkinpaw with eyes narrowed. "You didn't so... Don't get so upset about it okay?" She wasn't completely sure what to say.

Foxkit nodded and watched them. She looked away to the exit of the clearing. Then to the apprentice den. "Oh! Can you show us around the Apprentice's den! We'll be in there soon enough and I haven't explored it much"

Polarkit's ears perked up immediately. "Genious, Foxkit!! Show us Pumpkinpaw, c'mon!"

Pumpkinpaw's ears perked up at Foxkit's idea. "Hm? Oh..sure..!" He smiled gently. "Right this way.." He lifted a paw and pointed towards the apprentice' den.

polarkit stood as tall as she could and followed her clanmate into the apprentice den

Darkstar padded into camp, a rabbit in his jaws.

Polarpaw padded around the clearing. Being an apprentice, she didn't have to worry about being scolded for being out of the nursery.

"I'll show you the territory either later or tomorrow." Darkstar mewed to Polarpaw.

Echo padded into the clearing

Polarpaw's eyes glowed. "You will? Great!"

"Yup, so eat and preserve you're strength. It'll be a long day for you." Darkstar advised.

Polarpaw's tail quivered happily. "But what about Foxpaw?" She blinked, looking up at her mentor. "Can she come too?"
