Now where was i? Eternal mewed ignoring the toms thanks. Petal still hadn't been found. She slit her eyes and sniffed the air. Her kits' scent were all over the place so she couldn't tell which way her daughter was hiding. It was only when Eternal passed through a small crack in the rocks. It had a ledge up above and she couldn't hear much in the shadows.

Embers trotted back over by Rosepaw and purred. It was deeper than it was before. It was easy to tell he was growing. Probably going to be one of the bigger toms around.
Cloud grummbled. "What can't I catch one of these?" He asked, looking towards his mom and father.

Because it's mostly water Cloud. And eating them won't help either before you try. she mewed at her son. The twolegs call it snowflakes. she mewed turning away from Cloud and focusing on finding Petal.

Petal stayed perfectly still, although she could hear her mother's footsteps coming closer and closer. The suspense was absolutely killing the impatient kit, and finally Petal could stand it no longer. She crouched down behind her rock and then, taking a misjudged guess about her mother's distance, leaped. She fell terribly short, in front of Eternal. Racing the rest of the way on clumsy paws, she tackled the other, purring and hissing at the same time in a playfully silly manor.

Cloud pounced on another snowflake, which melted again. "..." He was getting annoyed. He started to growl at the snowflakes and tried again and again. Each time he failed to catch a snowflake.
Embers watched the young kit and then looked up at the snowflakes. "First time to see snow." He remarked. A snowflake landed on his nose and he shook his head, snorting.

At the sound of the conversing cats, the frustration of her brother Cloud, and the 'ambush' of Petal, Apple assumed that the game was up. She loosened her tensely waiting muscles, and peeked out of her hiding place. She narrowed her eyes and glanced around furtively before appearing wholly. Then she stalked to the gathering cats, her hind quarters wiggling a little to release the pent-up energy of sitting still for so long. "Hello!" She mewed, grinning at the gathered cats and Petal's play-fight. Hopefully she'd stay hidden long enough to pounce on her mother next time the game was played. Her eyes shined as she watched Cloud attempt to catch the floating white 'flakes', Mum had called them. She was curious to know what they felt like on her tongue. They looked so soft. She could easily imagine a sweet taste. Like a flower. Eternal said they were just water, but maybe they changed... You never knew. Apple had to admit, flowers didn't taste quite as good as they smelled, but she'd only tried two kinds so far. Some were bound to be duds. The kit went out to stand next to the leaping Cloud. She cocked her head and looked up at the swirling mass. A nice one was just drifting down near her tail. She twirled around and watched in wonder as the flakes around her swirled, too. She lost track of the one she'd been watching. Soon she was absorbed in the lovely sight.

Cloud fell again, landing on his back. He sighed and just lay there, watching the flakes. He couldn't catch one and he didn't think he would anymore.
Embers was wiping his nose off with a paw from where the flake melted on it.

Eternal smiled tussling softly with her kit. She pushed with her back legs so she could stand up. She licked her daughters face to say well done. Good attempt you sure will make a great fighter one day. she mewed to Petal. She loked over her shoulder to Apple. Come with me Petal I want you to feel the snow. she mewed and gently nudged her daughter towards the cave entrance. OOC: Sorry if that was a little Godplaying

OOC: Mother and young kits are different, really... Powerplaying is almost defined differently.
Petal tilted her head to one side. "Snow?" she asked, her voice dripping with curiosity. She trotted alongside her mother and caught site of Apple and Cloud. Racing over, she gasped at the sight of the little white puffs coming down from so far up. She did a funny looking leap, twirling around as if every snowflake unspotted would be a waist. When she landed, the ground crunched strangely beneath her, covered in a thin layer of the stuff. She tilted her head back, staring up into the sky, and blinked as a flake got too near. She held out her tongue, trying to catch one. When she finally did, it tasted like cold rain, so small it was hard to tell where on her tongue it was. And then it was gone, melted away, and the kit wondered where it had gone.

Cloud looked at her sister. She had caught one and he hadn't. He grumbled under his breath and rolled onto his feet. He shook off the snow that had stuck to his pelt and looked up at the snow.
Embers mummbled something about water getting into his nose from the snow. He wiped his nose with his paw again. Then he shook his firey red pelt clean of the white flakes of snow.

ooc: true really bad post sorry >.<
Eternal lay on the floor watching her kits mess in the snow. Just make sure you don't catch a cough now. she mewed towards Cloud and Petal who were examining the snow with excitful interest.

"I'm only catching snow," Petal said, giggling. It was the kind of joke that was really only meant for one age group - kit. The stupid pun sounded very smart to its creator, and she waited for her mother or anyone else in the group to laugh. She continued to prance around in the cold flakes until she was breathing heavily and had warmed up quite a bit.
OOC: Sorry... terrible post....

Eternal smiled at Petal. She had the characteristics of a loner but if she went to a clan she would make an excellent warrior even a medicine cat. She shook the thought out of her mind and continued watching her kits play around in the snow. Well if you're only catching snow you won't want anything to eat then? she inquired, hoping to entice the younglings for food. Perhaps, it would entice them to eat perhaps they would continue fooling around in the snow; after all they were only young.

"Ohh, I'd love something to eat!" Petal purred. As her mother brought her attention to food, she was suddenly able to scent the fresh-kill. A warm, delicious smell - the animals weren't yet cold. She bounded over to the little pile and looked at Eternal for permission.

Cloud trotted over to Embers and looked up at him.
Embers looked at Cloud. "Yes?" He asked.
"You know how to catch food like mom and dad?" Cloud questioned. His tail flicked and then his ears when snow landed on them.
"That I can do, but birds are a bit of trouble to me." Embers meowed.
"I want to learn to hunt! It sounds like fun." Cloud mewed. He looked over at his mom then back at Embers.
Embers glanced at Eternal. "Maybe later I can take you out. If it's okay with Eternal and Deathfire." He mrowed. He gave a weak smile to the kit.
Cloud smiled at Embers. "Cool! Thanks!" He meowed. He turned back towards the cave and ran towards it to get out of the snow now.
Embers' smile faded.
