His smiling jaws spread wider, and the small cat couldn't control the immature giggling fluttering about his chest. Giggling and giggling more, he tittered like a child. Go figure.
Martenkit made an awkward twist but to no avail, before heaving himself onto his paws all amid his high-pitched laughter. He stepped in front of her and mimicked his friend, bouncing side to side while his pelt spiked out wildly in the gold light as joy flooded the small body. His stub of a tail twitched and flickered side to side like a flame, and his long spine arched up as per usual.

"You should have seen your face!" Martenkit mrrowed, but hardly through his everlasting giggles. His mew was high of a kitten's, juggled by the mirth dancing inside him almost as much as he and Brightkit.

Brightkit made a noise almost like a skeptical snort, and if she had been any other cat, she could have been accused of that...but she soon faded to the more cheerful, mischievous expression that she often kept. "Yes, I'm sure my terrified face was just hilarious," She mewed with a smirk. Her expression gave away nothing, and it was hard to tell exactly what was going on in the she cat's head. There was nothing much at the moment...literally, she wasn't really thinking about anything. Her expression became neutral and hard to read, before she gave a small shake of her head. "So as I said before...was there something that you needed me for, or did you simply want the pleasure of hanging out with my awesome self?" Brightkit asked, with a flick of her tail and a slight toss of her head, appearing to be more arrogant than she actually was for a brief few seconds.
She watched her friend...he seemed to like to surprise her like this. It was almost impossible for her to figure him out...in fact, it was impossible. Which was frustrating, because as a general rule she was very good at this sort of thing. And yet Martenkit had stumped her over the course of...however long it was they had been friends, she hadn't been keeping track. Her friend's laughter was contagious, and soon made her begin to giggle as well, before she started laughing harder as hard as she tried not to. "It's...not....funny," She gasped, although nearly rolling on the ground with glee, it was hard to take her seriously as she continued laughing, trying to pull herself together.

Martenkit felt his brain juggling in his head from bouncing side to side for so long, and focusing on Brightkit. He opened his jaws to respond, but another bout of giggles came from his open mouth as she began laughing to. He bounced and stopped "dancing", bending his for-arms so his rear was in the air and his long spine wriggled in its arch. A result of Martenkit's childishness, but as well did the small one's body simply move to his expression like a course of water. His eyes squeezed shut and grin curled further, laughing to the sound of Brightkit's guffawing in his ears and pretty much waiting for her to snort. But before she started honking, the long kit's muscles flexed and he pounced forward, his hind legs flung behind him and arms stretched out to bowl Brightkit again.

Brightkit gave another mew of surprise as Martenkit bowled her over again and the two began rolling once more. This time she just went with it, knowing she was going to be unable to disentangle herself from her friend. Her vision was blurrier than usual, which made sense as she was dizzy from just being tumbled along the ground for the second time that day. She felt her side hit the ground as she ended up on the bottom this time and stared up at Martenkit. "Hey!" She protested, batting at his face with her soft paws in an attempt to get him off of her. She didn't really mind; it was just some kind of a game, after all, although what exactly it was they were playing was unknown to her. Brightkit smirked, which instantly turned into a bright grin- she could never look unhappy or as though she were planning something for too long, it made her feel as though there were ants crawling in her pelt...which she generally looked that way anyway, so it wasn't much of a difference. "Get off, you're gonna squish me, I'm too tiny and delicate to be beneath another cat!" She mewed dramatically, pretending to really be squished. She could be a drama queen sometimes, although it was always all in good fun and it was honestly hard to tell when she was being serious about things because of her "dramatic fun" as she called it.

Bramblefur padded out of the Warrior’s den and into the spacious clearing that was coated with warm, welcoming sunshine that made her purr with satisfaction. She was now a respected mentor with a new apprentice, Honeypaw. The brown-striped she-cat wondered how her training would go. She knew that Honeypaw was known to be a kind, adorable kitten when she was in the nursery, but who knows how she would respond to fighting or hunting? Bramblefur shook her head and padded over to the fresh-kill pile and picked out a plump thrush, laying down in the sun-baked dirt as she took small, hungry bites of her meal. Her new apprentice’s training would start as soon as possible, as the she-cat wanted to make a good first impression.

Honeypaw stood inside the apprentices den, just at the entrance of it. She made sure her fur looked refined and neat. This was it! Her first training session and her first chance to impress her mentor. She hoped Bramblefur was nice. She looked like a nice cat. Who knows? She was going to be Bramblefur's apprentice for the next 6 moons or so. She would definitely be able to learn about Bramblefur's personality in that amount of time. Honeypaw then took a deep breath and padded out of the apprentices den, she looked around for the brown tabby she cat. She saw Bramblefur lying down on the ground eating a plump thrush. Should she walk over to her or stay where she was? Shrugging, she started to walk towards Bramblefur, excitement bubbling in her, but at the same time....fear. What if Bramblefur wasn't the nice cat Honeypaw thought she would be like? She shook her head, sending those negative thoughts about her mentor away and walked up to Bramblefur. "Hello" Honeypaw said shyly.

“Well hello there, young one.” Bramblefur purred politely, looking up from her meal to match gazes with Honeypaw, “I see that you are a bit shy and that's okay, I remember being shy when I was your age. I assume that you are excited for your training today, yes?” The brown tabby sat up and looked up at the clouds passing by in the sky for a moment and then returned her eyes back to her apprentice. “Although the weather seems right for hunting, I want you to choose: Hunting or Fighting for training this day?” Her mentor always gave her the choice of what they should learn, so she thought she would give Honeypaw the same respect.

Her grey blue hues narrowed, she opened her maw, getting ready to rant about how he had frightened her...and then burst out laughing. Soon she was laughing so hard that it was hard for her to keep her balance...what was so funny? Honestly, there were many funny things to this kit, but none so much as being beaten at something. "You frightened me," She choked out, and she was sure that Storkpaw must be confused. If she was so frightened, then why was she laughing... well, perhaps it was for some unknown reason, or perhaps it was just pure instinct. Whatever it was, there was no denying that Owlkit found the whole thing...humerous. When she had stopped laughing and calmed herself a bit, her more serious side seemed to come out. "So anyway, where were you? You seriously scared the fur off of me, I did not see that coming," She mewed with a friendly smile. She was good at calming herself, and turning the subject off of herself if it were to come to that.

Storkpaw approached the laughing kit and laughed with her. He mainly assumed that he had scared her but when she had realized it was only him was when she started laughing. As he released his somewhat deep chuckle he ran his blazing blue orbs over her frame. It had been a while since he had visited the nursery with his mom and visited with the kits there. Having this sort of play date like event made him miss being a kit. Once Owlkit's laughter died away he smiled at her and opened his maw to reply. "I was in the holly bush over here." He said padding towards his old play den. "My adopted brother Jewelpaw and I used to hang out here and talk for hours. We spent many day hiding in here laughing and watching Nightbreeze search for us in the clearing and all the dens. " He paused a moment reflecting on his joyful kithood. "Y'know, I don't think anyone really knows about this place expect for me and Jewelpaw, and now of course, you." He said with a smile aimed at her. He stepped forwards and used one of his black footed paws to separate the branches. "You can goo in if you'd like." He said warmly.

"STORKPAAAAW! Teach me how to do what you just did!" Tiger kit ran into him again, knocking him down. "Go on, teach me!"

Brightkit looked back at the to cats. "I just hope Shadekit is alright.."She mumbled.

"Oh really? That sounds like fun, d'you do that anymore?" She asked, with a bright smile. The kit shifted from paw to paw, glancing a little strangely into the bush. She didn't really like smaller spaces, but it did look kind of cozy in there...she looked up at the apprentice a little strangely before poking her brown head into the bush. The she cat slowly moved further into it, and realized that it wasn't as cramped as it looked- it couldn't have been, for Storkpaw to be able to fit into it, and she was wondering how come she had been so worried in the first place. Her expression was thankful, and she gave a purr of satisfaction and contentment as she eagerly peeked out of the bush. "It's really cool in here, thanks for showing me!" She mewed, grinning at the apprentice. Storkpaw was an excellent playmate- looks like I'll have time for play after all when I'm an apprentice, she thought with a purr. Her grey blue eyes showed amusement as she brushed back out of the bush, and flicked a leaf out of her tail. "So, what now? What do apprentices usually do?" She asked, her eyes sparking with excitement.
