"Hm?" Lynxkit glanced over at the kit. He had seen them around the nursery but hadn't spoken to them much. Maybe he wanted to play? Lynxkit turned to face them, "What is it?"
Ashkit leaned in slightly to speak in a low tone.
“You ever heard of the Stareater? It’s a reaaaal dangerous spirit..” Ashkit leaned in even closer to whisper,
“And you know what?” “I think it’s after you.” Ashkit stood back after speaking, seemingly worried for Lynxkit.
Ashkit was trustworthy, right? They wouldn’t lie about this kind of stuff, right?

“And you know what?” “I think it’s after you.”
Lynxkit's eyes widened in fear. Stareater? What was a Stareater? From Ashkit's tone, it sounded serious. His imagination got the better of him- he imagined a shapeless creature, stronger then Starclan with gaping jaws. It was after him? Was this because of Bluekit's death? "W-What? What do you mean?" He tried to even his tone, but his voice trembled with fear and worry. "Ashkit, what is a Stareater??"

Ashkit paused, thoughts racing. They turned away,
“Well, the Stareater’s a massive, DANGEROUS, MALICIOUS spirit. It has no shape, it can be found ANYWHERE you look.. and it has MASSIVE JAWS that could EAT YOU UP IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT!” Ashkit then looked on at Lynxkit with wide eyes, speaking in a serious tone.
“And that’s not all.. it’s always, ALWAYS watching..” They paused for dramatic effect. “Just waiting to strike.”

Lynxkit froze. He stared at Ashkit in disbelief, hoping that what they said wasn't true. "Always... watching?" His voice was nothing more than a squeak. He had no choice but to believe what the kit was telling them.

Ashkit flashed a look of sorrow.
“Oh, but you can’t.” They turned away solemnly,
“You just have to wait until it leaves you alone. It could take moons.” They shook their head sadly, a gaze of sympathy in their eyes.

Lynxkit flicked his ears nervously. "O-okay." He mumbled before slowly walking away.
"Well done," A voice called out to Ashkit. They turn to face the brown-and-grey tabby, his cold blue eyes fixated on the black kit as he began strolling forward, "That was fun to watch."
QUILLPAW
he/him. 7 moons. dark grey tom; tabby markings; light grey markings, amber and blue eyes. [ mind reader ]
quillpaw snickers quietly, amused by quietpaw's following comment regarding their mother. it seems his siblings were divided, either brought together by the love for their parents or the resentment towards them. at least he could bond with a pawful of his siblings over that. how delightful.
one ear gives a twitch as the raiding patrol is called out. he's vaguely familiar with the clanmates called and he really questions some of his grandmother's choices. the sharp edge to her voice suggests he shouldn't speak up against it, though. his mother and father. fair enough. I'll be surprised if father doesn't spiral and explode, he remarks mentally. sleepypaw, his older sister. which alarms him..just a tad, since she is a sibling. aaannd..squirrelpaw. wasn't that mistlewhisker's other apprentice? with a glance, he manages to spot the older apprentice near the back of the crowd, scoffing lightly. she's definitely going to die out there, grandmother have mercy.
an exile? "oh my," he mumbles, faint smirk playing across his features. sounds like lynxshade got what she deserved – though the whole situation just proves that enforcers aren't any more responsible than other warriors. he already knew that, though. there's no doubt in his mind that if she's caught lingering, someone will swiftly end her.
empty enforcer spots? how interesting. the lithe tabby rolls his eyes at the mention of his father's demotion. he doesn't miss the way that quietpaw sits a little taller, shooting her a glance. he personally has no interest in being an enforcer, but he supposes that quietpaw will do well. more so than some of his other littermates.
what's this? he's going to help search for clanmates? if they're stupid enough to have not stuck with the group, perhaps we should just leave them there, he thinks. "oh, I'm sure I'll have the time of my life." he responds with a short sigh before he rises and approaches dawnstar.

Ashkit turned to Fallenkit, bemused.
“Oh, what. Don’t believe me?” They looked to the side.
“But that aside, erm, thanks!” Ashkit seemed nervous, attempting to keep up their lies;
“Buut you know.. you should be worried about that Stareater. Don’t let your brother get nabbed, yeah?”
