As the new moon hung near-invisible in the night sky, Ashkit waited patiently for their other “friends” at the entrance of Shadowclan’s camp.

Tonight was the night.

Thrushkit dared to look up at the sky for a moment. His eyes squinted to see no part of a circle illuminated in the sky. Eerie as it was, he was here for a different reason. He stopped right in front of Ashkit's paws.

"Where are we going?"

His head peeked over the kits shoulder, seeing the entrance to camp. They weren't going outside, were they? That wasn't allowed. Thrushkit wanted to support his friend, but he didn't want to get in trouble. Though if they weren't it'd be okay! He felt a pang of guilt. Hadn't he just become friends with Ashkit? He'd feel awful if he didn't support their new, thing. What even was this thing? Thrushkit awkwardly ignored asking that question. It would probably just put them in a bad mood.

He stared right at Ashkit, hoping he was going to be proved wrong.

Palekit
◆ he/him | 5 moons

"Eh...hello? Ashkit, are you there?" Palekit mumbled softly as he padded from the bushes. He had just finally escaped the nursery and headed towards the meeting place Ashkit mentioned. The stareater thing. The thing that Ashkit needed help defeating. Palekit pads through the gorse, his white fur shining brightly under the moonlight. His pale blue eyes darted around searching for his friend. Suddenly in the distance, he spotted the gray tom and padded towards him briskly.

"Ashkit! Hey there!" Palekit mewed almost excitedly under a hush voice.

Thrushkit wearily looked at Ashkit, then perked up when he saw Palekit. It was like a dead flower somehow blooming up into a beautiful daisy. He thought for a moment, deciding whether or not it would be smart to talk to him. Whatever! He wanted to do it anyway! To be friends with a cat, you had to keep talking to them after you hung out... right?

"Oh, hi,"

He mewed as if he'd just seen Palekit. Like this was a normal interaction. They were supposed to be going to do something shady? He didn't really know, he'd come here on behalf to support Ashkit. It seemed like it meant a lot to him! Who was Thrush to shoot that dream down? He certainly wasn't that type of buzzkill! Well he wasn't really a buzzkill at all. He didn't even really know what the word meant, he'd heard it like once and liked how it sounded so he used it.

"So, where are we going?"
