Annoyingly alone

[[F]irekee]

Dreamkit rolled onto her back and stared at the top of the nursery. She sighed, why was there nothing to do when you were a kit? She rolled back onto her paws, and stumbled towards the nursery entrance. Maybe there would be something to do in camp.

[blowingwind]

A little white kit with black patches and a bob for a tail was silently creeping up to the nursery, glancing around furtively to make sure no-one was about.
Ren could smell kit- scent coming from the den, and certainly wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity to meet some cats his own age.
But he hadn't been expecting to bump into a kit as soon as he put a paw in the nursery, so he felt he had an excuse for his bristling fur.
The little loner jumped back, and putting on show his attack position, asked with a bossy voice, "Who are you, kitty?"

[[F]irekee]

Dreamkit made a mewling noise as something bumped into her. She looked up, and couldn't help smiling at the kit in front of her. "I'm dreamkit" she mewed in a friendly attempt. Dreamkit couldn't help trying to make friends, she hadn't seen this kit before, and she was bored. "Who are you?" he asked curiosly. Her black patched pelt lyed perfectly flat, showing that she didn't think she was iin any danger.

[blowingwind]

Ren felt himself redden under his fur, but kept a calm if rather arrogant expression on his face as the kit smiled and asked his name.
"My name is Ren" he said proudly, standing up as straight as he could, trying to impress Dreamkit.
"And of course you'd never have seen me around. I don't need a Clan to take care of me. I do it all myself."
As he said the last sentence, he allowed a rather conceited smile to cross his face, and waited impatiently for the kit's reaction.

[[F]irekee]

Dreamkit's eyes widened, "So you don't belong to any clan?" she asked, awe in her voice. "Ren sounds like a pretty name" she smiled at Ren, tail twitching happily behind her.

[blowingwind]

"No. I'm a loner. I take care of myself." Ren repeated, holding his head high.
When Dreamkit complimented his name, he felt himself blushing again, and replied, "I don't know about pretty, but one day, I'll make it into a famous warrior name, you'll see!"
His little black bobtail wagged happily.
"How about you? I suppose you live with this group of cats....what are you doing here all by yourself?"

[[F]irekee]

Dreamkit thought for a minute, her tail quit twitching. "I'm not really sure, as far as I can remember I've always lived here" She mewed, thoughtfully. She had seen other kits here, but all of them had parents, or at least mothers.

ooc: gah! so short!

[blowingwind]

The white kit was a little puzzled.
"But don't you have a mother and father? Or sisters? And where are your friends?" he insisted, looking curiously past her to see if by chance a few kits were hiding in the den.
He couldn't understand; she'd said 'as far as I can remember'.
So it meant she didn't have anyone. Maybe she'd been born loner, lke him.
That would be something nice to have in common, Ren thought, looking at Dreamkit with interest.

[[F]irekee]

"I don't think I have any family, all I can really remember is waking up here by myself" She mewed shrugging. It didn't bother her really, but it would've been nice to know she wasn't alone. "What about you? I thought cats didn't learn how to take care of themselves until they were apprenticed" she mewed, she sounded impressed. Any cat so young who could take care of themselves could impress her.

from his nest Pantherkit's pale grey eyes flickered open. he groaned and proped himself up on his forearms to get a better veiw of what was going on, accidently nudging Hawkkit who lay curled up beside his adoptive sibling. The small champaign colored selkirk rex awoke with a start and with the speed of a squirrle looked about the nursery with a bewildered and annoyed expression. Pantherkit didnt say a word, but he brushed his 'brothers' maw indicating that he should keep silent as he watched the two kits curiously.

ooc: is it okay if they join?

[blowingwind]

"I did have a family." Ren explained, "But my mother went away with two of my sisters, Funga and Hana, and took them to the housefolk. She meant to take Kanna and me too, but my sister got killed, so I moved from the den. Now I don't know where to find Mum."
The white kit was careful not to say "ran away" from the den. Nor did he mention the fact that he could only just barely find scraps of food to keep him alive.
He didn't want Dreamkit not to like him anymore.
"So, did this group of cats adopt you, then?" Ren asked, another conceited smile fixing itself on his face, "Well, I certainly don't need their help."
He sat down and licked one of his paws.

ooc: 'course, it's fine.

[rex.]

hawkkit and pantherkit exchanged silent glances; both thinking the same thing Rubbish. mouse dung. he looks like a stick
but still they did not move or speak, just crouched in the nest waiting for something to happen.

[[F]irekee]

Dreamkits eyes widened, "You really did all that by yourself? Wow..." She trailed off, thinking about his question. "I think so" she mewed, "I never really learned how to take care of myslef, and anyway, I'd hate being alone." her tail curled around her paws, being alone would be awfull for the social little Dreamkit.

[blowingwind]

"I don't really mind being alone." Ren boasted, "I can fight better if I don't have to worry about anyone."
The little kitten was getting very carried away as he did the utmost to look strong in the she-kit's eyes; he'd taken quite a shine to her.
Getting to his feet, he wagged his little black bobtail.
"Do you want to come with me? We could just leave for a bit, and I'll bring you back when it's dark. It's fun playing in the forest, and in the unclaimed places!" he exclaimed, trying his best to convince Dreamkit to go with him.

[[F]irekee]

"That sounds like fun! I've never explored the forest before" she mewed excitedly, almost immiediatly on her paws. The only thing that outweighed her friendlyness, was her curiousity. Her silver eyes shone brightly, and her tail waved in anticipation, exploring the forest would be fun for the curious kit, if not dangerous.
