summertime father/son bonding [P]

[Luna16]

The night air was refreshing, blowing through Rabbitfur's long white fur in waves. Glowing little fireflies hovered around him, and the sound of the waterfall was lulling him to a state of total peace. While Rabbitfur was often a source of boundless energy, much like his daughter Daffodilpaw, every now and then taking some time to relax and be calm was nice. Wonder if little Daffy will ever get that memo. He mused with a hearty chuckle. He loved listening to the Twilight Waterfall, the crickets, and the wind in the grass as he stared at the night sky. Just allowing himself to sit with himself for a little bit.

Bouncepaw licks his pelt as he slowly pads forward. His fur bristles in the night air, the breeze sweeps past his fur, and he heads over to the spot. Bouncepaw steps cautiously while scanning his surroundings. He didn't want to accidentally get hurt, or fall into the water. And soon Bouncepaw hears the sound of crickets and the waterfall. His father was right. Bouncepaw loses his restraint, now that he is safe and relaxed, and his paws have a slight bounce in their step.

"It really is beautiful, just as Rabbitfur said," Bouncepaw meows softly, "I wonder where all these lights are coming from."

The lights are especially dancing around a specific spot. Bouncepaw steps closer, and stiffens when he sees a large figure already sitting there. He only relaxes when he notices it's his father. And not, let's say, two cats in the middle of a romantic tryst-now that was one of the most awkward moments ever.

"Rabbitfur!" He calls his father by name, as do many clan cats.

Rabbitfur's ears perked and swiveled when he heard his name come from a familiar, beloved voice. He turned to look over his shoulder, amber eyes flashing as the moonlight caught them. "Bouncepaw!" He called back, a deep rumbling purr in his chest. "You decided to check it out!" He had told his son about this spot long ago as a calming place to come to. He was glad to see his son had taken his advice.

The large white warrior scooted over to give Bouncepaw space to sit next to him. Eyes shining with joy. "I'm glad you're here, my boy!" He purred with a beaming smile. "What do you think?" As he asked his question, Rabbitfur turned his eyes back out to the night sky. Revealing at how the fireflies looked like stars among them.

[OOC: Also, just a heads up! I have Daffodil aging 1 moon on the 24th of every month, so I have her at 7 moons now lol. I meant to tell you. ]

(For some unknown reason I didn't get any notifs from mentions or quotes, so my reply was late. Oops. I'm asking to get it fixed rn. And hooray for 7 month year old Bouncepaw and Daffodilpaw.)

"They look like little stars dancing in the sky," Bouncepaw meows as a reply, sitting down in the space Rabbitfur had provided. "But closer to the ground. What are they?"

Kits weren't allowed outside of camp, but the fireflies never ventured inside, so this was Bouncepaw's first time seeing fireflies outside in the dark night sky. He didn't know what they were, just that, as Rabbitfur said, it was a beautiful sight. Especially since it was just them, though his mother or Daffodilpaw might not like that fact.
