Ice glanced at his sisters, bored with all female company. He understood Shimmer and could reply when she talked to them, and he was starting to be able to move, however slowly, all around the cave. He recognised that he was bigger than his siblings, and that he'd probably be larger than his mother when her age. He was grooming himself, although Shimmer still did a touch up, however against his will. He looked up at her, and meowed plaintively, "I'm hungry!"
His mother laughed, and said, "Wake you sisters. I'm going to give you fresh-kill. Like I eat." She had decided a few days ago that she'd start them on solids this day, and was sticking to that plan.
Ice prodded Luna and Frost with his cold nose, letting out a loud meowing noise, sure to wake every slumbering cat for miles.

Luna woke up startled. She looked around and saw her brother Ice standing there. "What do you want?" She asked annoyed.

"We's--" he began, but his mother corrected him in a bored tone before he could continue, "We're." Ice rolled his eyes, but complied. "We're gonna be tryin' fresh-kill!" he finished.

Oh what?! Grumbled frost, then she heard 'fresh kill' and that they would be trying it. She opened one eye. Really? Yay. She didn't sound to convincing, she wasn't trying to, she had been enjoying her nap. She sat up and streatched, licking her wavey fur a few times.

Luna sat up. She didn't say anything because she wasn't excited to eat fresh-kill. She wanted to stay on her mother's milk. Luna looked at her mother and then down to her paws. She walked around in a small circle and laid down again. She sighed as she let her tail rest on her nose.

"Up, all of you." Shimmer said in a commanding tone. "Watch me. You will learn this skill later in life, do this on your own." She flicked her plumed tail for the kits to follow her into the wild unknown, out of the small cave that they had never left, and onto the rocks. She continued, barely slow enough for them to keep up, until she had reached the sudden start of meadowy life that surrounded her small den, her colorful, decieving land that kept everycat away from the barren heart of home. "Do not leave the boulders," she cautioned her kits. She sniffed out snake, many of them, and a hoard of rats. Nither would make good food, and were best to be avoided --a skill to learn. Only Shimmer herself could navigate the trap-filled grasses without falling into hidden pitfalls, running into a den of adders.-- but Shimmer saw a little movement in the stalks, and a little brown pelt. One of the rats had wandered too far, and the mistake would cost it it's life. Shimmer positioned herself, and lept from the cold stone, landing near enough to the rodent to break it's neck with a quick bite.
Still on the dry, lifeless stones as his mother had said, Ice watched with awe. He was amazed at the ease with which she ended the thing's life, whatever it was. He had never seen so much movement, never even seen any other animal besides the feline type, and the dead things like this that his mother brought to the cave for herself. He started to explore as Shimmer caught two more animals: a mouse, and a vole. He curiously edged toward the beginning of the rest of the world, and reached out a tenitive paw to touch a blade of lush green grass. He pulled it back immediately, but, when nothing happened, he beconned to his sisters, wishing to look around in this new place. His mother, still busy hunting, noticed nothing.

Luna sat down outside of the comfortable den. She made sure she was inside of the boulders like her mother said, she wanted to go back to the den. She sighed and watched her brother disobeying their mother. "Ice! Stop, you should listen to mom!" Luna said loudly, hoping he would get caught. She sat with her tail wrapped around her tiny paws smiling.

Shimmer whipped around, half proud, half angered, at both of her kits. She loved the way Luna so innocently took advantage of her surroundings, but why did she have to be so goody? And as for Ice, disobediance would not be permitted -- and yet, rulebreaking was a wonderful skill. Shimmer hid this and said calmly, and a little coldly, to both all three of her kits, "If I say something like a place not to go, in is probably for your own safety. If you ask me, I will explain why. But a little rule breaking is expected of any kit your age. Ice, this is a warning to everyone, especially you. I do not wish for my beautiful kits to die because of a deadly snake or rat bite. It would be embarresing, and painful for you, of course."

Frost who had been sitting quietly, nodded curtly. Yes mother boredom and slight sarcasm entering her voice. watching her mother catch the food was fascinating and all, but until she got her chance, it was rather dull. Sitting on a boulder wasn't that great either. She twitiched her tail back and forth, unsheathing and sheithing her claws out of boredom. she lay at the edge of the boulder and played with a blade of grass, glancing at her mother's doings every now and then.

Ice yawned, but refused to be caught sulking. With his tail high, he padded over to Luna, hissing, "Tattletale."\
Shimmer padded back with her prey, still using most of her consentration on where to step, which was important in her land. She lept back onto the boulders, and flicked Ice with her tale. "If there is not fighting among siblings, our family will be stronger." She layed the three rodents out on the ground, and nudged on toward each of them. "You won't be able to eat all of this, but try a little bite right here." She pointed out the meaty side of each animal with a slender, dainty paw.

Luna stuck her tongue out at Ice when Shimmer wasn't looking. She bent down and sniffed the fresh-kill her mother put down in front of her. She didn't know if she like the smell or not. She tried to rip a piece of meat off of the dead animal, but had trouble at first. She finally got a taste of the meat and she enjoyed it more than she tought she would.

Frost shrugged sniffing at the corpse. hmm, she thought taking her first bite with a little difficulty, this isn't half bad... She enjoyed the taste and scent of the blood as well as the fresh kill over all. She finished as much as she could and licked her lips. Giving a short purr. She lay back down playing with her blade of grass once more.

Ice sunk his teeth into the rat, but it didn't do anything. He pulled his little fangs out, and looked, annoyed, at the fresh-kill. Then he had an idea. He used a clawed paw to get past the thick skin, and then tore off a bite with his teeth. The taste overwhelmed him. He really liked it. He took another, and another, and then another. Finally his mom knocked him away. "Don't overeat!" she laughed. She sat back, enjoying the sun, and purred, "Why don't you kits play out here for a while?"
Ice happily complied. He pounced on Luna, claws in, but hard nonetheless.

Luna hissed at her brother. She landed on her back with her stomach up. Ice was on top of her. She pawed at his face and tried to bite his ear with her small, but sharp teeth.
ooc:sorry if there is a little powerplaying....
