FireflyPaw huffed since she thinks she ain’t getting enough training.
OrangeFlower remained lying on her back, staring at the sky. Yes, the sky that a light rain was coming from. It was getting actually…annoying as it pattered on her fluff. But it wasn’t miserably cold right now, so whatever!

> where was...Oh! There they were! Sweetswan had realized she had uh...unintentionally distancing herself for orangeflower for a bit, and she missed hanging out with the molly. The striped warrior trotted over, a smile on her maw as she laid next down to her friend. "Finally warning up a bit now, hm?" she purred as some raindrops pattered on her cream and brown pelt. stars, she had missed the warrior's company. she didn't really know why, but at least they were talking again. "So, how have you been, dearie?" Sweetswan asked, tilting her head to the side.

OrangeFlower was in a daze, but then a familiar cream and brown molly joined her- oh! “SweetSwan!” OrangeFlower purred to her friend in greeting, her tail automatically started to flick back and forth. OrangeFlower quickly rolled over so instead she was (more presentably) laying on her belly. “Long time, no see, hmm?” she teased lightly, of course no ill feelings harbored there. “I’ve been good! Not much t’ do I suppose! How about you?”
the clearing outside the nursery was a lot bigger than the small area within the den. Much more space to run! The small and diluted torbie had been needing a reason to go outside again. To feel the crisp and yet cold unfiltered air fill his lung, the constant murmur of voices from those that found themselves lounging out in the open, to feel the crunch of snow beneath his small delicate paws. Not only that, but he'd started to notice he was very good at playing games with his fellow denmates, always to slow and tired. Never as tired as Poppykit ofcourse but he certainly lacked a whole lot of energy. He'd have to find time to practice so he could keep up with the other and actually participate in their games instead of just forfeiting midway through to lay down.
Honeykit took a few steps out of the shadows of the nursery, the temperature was noticeably colder outside but he didn't mind. Honeykit breathed in a deep breath, consuming all the outside air he could. It felt nicer than the stuffy air from within the nursery, all the scents mingling together. Out here it was so different, so much more freeing.
Okay! Focus Honey, we out here to train remember! The small tom lowered himself to the ground, like kits usual did when they tried to mimic hunting poses. Well this kit wasn't interested in such thing, not right now that is. He focus all his strength into his hind legs so he could push of them and give himself that initial boost into a sprint. Okay, okay okay. Here it goes....1.....2..3-
Honeykit pushed of the ground with as much force as he could possibly muster and dashed across the clearing. His heart pumping, blood flowing, paws hurting, chest tightening, feeling dizzy? Dots.
His strides faltered and he let himself collapse exhausted, he'd barely run that far! Hadn't even completed a single lap around the clearing and yet he couldn't even consider running further. Surely that was better? Had he run a bit further then normal? Honeykit was so distracted with his own thoughts he hadn't noticed the fact he collapsed on one of his clanmates tails.

"Hmm?"
His thoughts, both black and white, were interrupted, shattered like glass as he snapped back to reality.
What had happened? What is going on?
Smokefang looked behind him, at his tail more precisely, and was surprised to find a kit just laying there, exhausted as if the small one had run through the whole forest.
He nearly snapped in annoyance, but kept himself composed.
'Play pretend.'
Reminded my own mind. Poker face.
Yeah.
He didn't show anything on his face, and instrad smiled warmly at the kit.
"Hey little guy, running 'til exhaustion aren't we?"
Asked Smokefang with a kind voice, as if he understood what the kit just went through. Poor, poor little thing...
You should watch out where you're going... I'm a nice cat, but I can't tell if everyone will be that happy with that kind of mistakes. Even accidental..."

> phew, no direct accusations of being away from the molly, and it was just like before. Sweetswan still flinched slightly at Orangeflower's phrasing, but she knew it was all fun and games. The warrior let out a sigh, rolling over to her side. "same here. been bored, not really much to do."
oooo
waait..
Sweetswan had an idea! The female sat up and turned to face her companion. "How about a walk? we can go hunting if you'd like, but it's been some time since ive gotten out of camp and just relax. its either hunting or herb collecting most of the time," the female suggested. "or we can stay in camp. Your choice."

Seeing all those tiny little cute bugs, Lostkit's eyes widened in awe, and they rolled with their nuzzle the rolliebug the found first in it, so it would play with all its friends.
They sat for a moment, not disturbing them, just watching the rolliebug they found first uncurl and crawl around. And then they focused at all the little bugs.
It looked like a clan. Was it a clan? Which of them was the leader? Or the medicine cat? Or the deputy?
Lostkit smiled as they looked at them, amused at the thought of the rolliebugs hunting.

The elder's tail flicked lazily behind him as he watched the little critter's eyes widen. Bugs really were such interesting creatures, most didn't much mind to 'em. One of the grey bugs started to crawl over his paw and he gently flicked it off. "You know, kitto? I don't think you would have lived through the warmer seasons yet, but I know you'll just love them. Like prey, a lot of bugs start to hide when it's cold." Though annoying buggers like mosquitoes and flies show up and personally the older tom could do without those ones, "Butterflies, crickets, caterpillars- oh!" The tom's eyes lit up as he curled a paw in front of him, "One time I saw this tall bug, with arms that looked like a warriors' claw!"

Lostkit. They/them - ThunderClan - Kit.
Lostkit's unusually-coloured eyes widened in awe and excitement. They actually spoke this time in enthusiasm. "Caterpillars? I once saw a very fluffy one! Although, I've been told not to touch it...
The usually shy kit's ears pricked up, an eager yet still modest smile on their face, their eyes sparking in interest. They seemed to really be enthusiastic about those creepy crawlies.
---------------------------------- Minkvenom || She/Her || Reliable, Prideful, Boastful || Header made by the awesome newo!
A black, scruffy head emerged from the warrior's den as Minkvenom padded into the clearing, her long fur crinkled and uneven from a good night's sleep. Her maw creaked open involuntarily with a yawn, hot breath creating a little cloud in front of her, before closing in a bare-toothed smile. She shook herself down from head to hind, roughly organising her fur, before really grooming it into place with a few quick licks.
With how dark it was all the time in Leaf-bare Minkvenom could barely tell when the sun rose and set, and her body couldn't tell either, apparently. 'I can't believe I overslept! I won't fall behind the other warriors, I've gotta do something productive.' She thought to herself, looking back into the den for someone to join her self-assigned task.
"Rowanlark! Let's go for walk, warm up our paws! Come on!" She called out, standing ready at the entrance. The molly did plan to go for a walk around the camp, but part of her knew she'd be straying a bit, going on a little faux-patrol with someone who she knew wouldn't decline. 'I'll keep it light though, still gotta get back for some training with Hornetpaw. Maybe... 2? No, 3 laps!'

You should watch out where you're going... I'm a nice cat, but I can't tell if everyone will be that happy with that kind of mistakes. Even accidental..."
The grey striped warriors words went through the one ear and out the other, Honeykit acknowledged him with a polite smile. He wasn't quite sure what this guy was trying to tell him, what kind of mistake had Honeykit made? "mhm, okay sure thing" he dismissed as he sat up, raising his leg to scratch behind his ear. "What exactly was my mistake" he asked, only now actually paying attention to the warrior. He still felt tired and his lungs burned but that's okay. He could sit and rest, then he'd be better in no time. For thought he might aswell talk to this stranger whoever they were who decided to talk to him.
"Do I know you? Why are you talking to me?" the diluted tom asked, his head tilting to a slight angle. He wasn't used to older cats talking to him, usually they just ignored him until he greeted them. Had he done something to provoke the warrior? Hopefully not, he didn't want to get in trouble with anyone at all right now.

He did not lose his composure. Even when the kit seemed to completely ignore what he just said.
That was an advantage. He had played pretend since so long that what was happening inside almost never came out.
As such, inside, he was wondering if it was a good idea to insult the smaller one for his lack of attention, or if he should just ignore that too. On the outside, his smile small smile never left his face.
"I am talking to you because you're a little guy that just fell on my tail."
Responded Smokefang before he kept going.
"And I said that not looking in front of yourself is a small mistake. It's nothing bad, don't worry, I won't bite or something like that in retaliation, but there are grumpier cats that are more bad-mouthed than me when this kind of situation happen."
Maybe he could speak a little to the kit? He seemed polite, and a little calmer than some of his kit denmates...
