Leopardkit lay in her nest boredly flicking a piece of moss back and forth she was two moons old and she had only just been allowed of the nursery a few days ago while her other litter mates had been allowed out of the nursery way before her mother had allowed her to leave the nursery. 'I'm tired of the nursery, I don't care if I'm not the healthiest of kits," she thought getting to her paws almost admittedly falling down but she managed to stay upright. She was really tired and felt weak but she ignored it and instead heading into the clearing screwing up her eyes at the bright sunlight.

After being in the dim nursery all morning the sunlight was really bright and it hurt her eyes but it wasn't long before her eyes adjusted to the harsh sunlight. With the tip of her tail twitching she looked around trying to find something to do. The reason she had left the nursery was because she was bored but she couldn't find anything to do. She was about to give up on finding something to do when she saw a butterfly flying around. Her gaze zeroed in on the butterfly and she bounded after planning on catching the butterfly. 'It'll prove that I'm not weak,' she thought running faster and faster until she suddenly sprung towards the butterfly excitement shooting through her as she reached a paw towards the butterfly.

Suddenly she felt the breath catch in her throat and she head trouble breathing she landed heavily on the ground her prize flying away. She was able to shake off the ill feeling and was able to breath again but she was still dazed. She scrambled to her paws her legs a little shaky and coughed a few times before deciding to do something else. Noticing the entrance of the camp she looked around seeing if any one was paying attention to her before dashing towards the camp exit.

Maplepaw had been out all day. He was supposed to be practicing his hunting. He got bored of hunting though. He had already caught a vole. That should be fine for now. There were others hunters to do the job. He decided to go back to the camp and drop off his kill. It would feed someone at least.

As Maplepaw made his way in the clearing there didn't seem to be any others around. There was a kit sitting by a moss ball. Which one was she again? There were plenty of them now that it was green-leaf. Almost too many to keep track of. He decided it wasn't important. He continued to take his kill to the fresh-kill pile. Out of the corner of his eye he caught movement. He turned to look. It was that kit again. He felt a smile creep across his face. She was a intriguing thing, chancing after a butterfly. He thought she had it, and started to turn away. He stopped, he heard a gasping sound. He saw her on the ground gasping for air. He started over to her instead wondering if she was ok? but before he get close to her she was off again. Almost as if nothing happened, but Maplepaw saw it the shaking. Then it registered she was heading toward the exit of the clearing.

"Excuse me." he called out politely to her. He was right behind her now. He didn't want to alarm any of the other cats that she was trying to make a break for it. "Where are you going?" he tried to look sternly at her. He wasn't sure if she would be a defiant kit like some of the others. He looked to her and back to the exit. "You seem to be a little to small to go out there." he said more kindly. These kits never liked being locked up in the clan. Maplepaw understood this, but he never had to got through it like they did. He had to press his luck and hope everyday he would be ok.

"I'm tired of everyone thinking I'm weak, I just want to prove I'm stronger than I look," Leopardkit meowed not even trying to hide the fact that she was trying to sneak out of camp. If it had been another kit the words would come of as defiant but she just sounded annoyed and angry. She looked at the tom assessing him. "Everyone acts like if I so much as take a step I'll drop dead," she meowed the tip of her tail twitching. Even though she seemed angry her eyes still seemed dull with tiredness.

ooc: sorry for the short post.

[Icestorm]

Maplepaw listened to the kit. She seemed to have misunderstood him, but he didn't stop her. It was a clear issue for her, her tail was twitching. He smiled at her. "Alright. Alright." he said. He could see the front she was putting up. He figured her should step lightly around her. Not for her obvious issue, but her attitude. No kit should be treated differently, or at least let them think they aren't different. He turned back toward the clearing, "Well aren't you coming?" He motioned her over with his tail.

He waited for her to follow him. If she felt she was being treated differently maybe he should. Apprentices didn't usually hang out with the kits, but for her he would make an exception. She was intriguing to say the least.

[Sand]

Leopardkit listened to what Maplepaw had to say he seemed surprised by her attitude but she had gotten tired of pretending that everything was alright. She was usually nice but she was embarrassed and annoyed about what had happened with the butterfly and that put her in a bad mood. She took a deep breath calming herself realizing the tom had said something to her. She looked at him blankly until what he had said to her registered in her mind.

"Uh....oh, yeah I'm coming," Leopardkit mumbled frowning wondering why and apprentice would want to hang around such a pathetic kit. She shook her head to clear it and headed after the tom trying to move faster not wanting him to think she was a weakling. She didn't know the tom but she still wanted to make herself look strong in front of him.

[Icestorm]

Maplepaw walked into the clearing. He wasn't sure what clan kits did. He would play fight with his brother, but she was too small and he was to big to do that. Besides from what he saw it didn't seem too smart of an idea. He looked back behind him. She was following him, but he saw she was little more behind him than he had thought. Maplepaw looked over. There was a moss ball laying off to the side. No one seems interesting in it. He had seen some kits play with it before. That sounded like something they could do. He turned toward her and sat down waiting for her. The moss ball was under his paw. He rolled to her, "Catch." he called out to her. He waited for her toss it back before asking, "So what's your name?" he asked smiling.

[Sand]

Leopardkit saw the tom stop and moved a little closer to him before coming to a stop herself watching him intently. She watched as he rolled a mossball to her and she rolled it back she let her gaze wonder for a bit letting it rest on a pebble lost in thought. She was dragged out of her thoughts when the tom asked her something and she realized that he had asked her what her name was. "My name is Leopardkit," she meowed glancing at the tom. "What about you? What is your name?" she asked him tilting her head to the side.

[Icestorm]

He looked to her catching the ball. Her name fit her, he smiled at her. "I'm Maplepaw." He held the ball until he answered. He didn't have her attention and he knew that. She was spacing out. Something was on her mind. He tried to think of someway to keep it. "Tell me Leopardkit, you're so serious for a kit. What are you thinking about?" He asked. He felt she was overthinking something. Such a young kit shouldn't be worrying so much. He wanted her to open up, at least a little bit. Maybe it would help her. He tried to look as friendly as possible.  

OOC: sorry for it being short.

"Nothing really most of the kits don't want to play with me so I'm usually bored," Leopardkit meowed flicking her ears back and forth. The tip of her tail twitched as she thought of why most of the other kits didn't seem to want to play with her. "I don't like being bored," she meowed sure that there was no cat who liked being bored.

Maplepaw smiled at the Leopardkit. Boredom was something he was used to, well not really but he was too lazy to usually find something to do, so it was more of something he just accepted. Finding her would hopefully be a cure for his, and who knows maybe her own. "Well being bored that happens to all of us," he paused looking at her thinking about what exactly she had just said. Why wouldn't the other kits play with her? He thought all of the kit got along. He thought about her. She didn't seem to be rude or mean. In fact she seemed very playful from what he had seen. Trying to think of the best to ask was not easy. He wanted to ask her, but would being straight with her be the best way to get her answer without resentment. There was only one way to know. "Leopardkit, why don't the other kits play with you?" He wait for her answer, hoping he wasn't pushing too far into her business.

[Sand]

"I suppose your right, but that doesn't mean I have to like it, that's why I want to be an apprentice so that I can stop being bored," Leopardkit meowed puffing out her chest. She was happy that the apprentice was taking time to play with her. "I-I don't know, most of the other kits won't let me play with them, they say I'm to weak to play with them," she meowed the tip of her tail twitching and she averted her gaze.

Maplepaw looked to the Leopardkit with a warm smile and a chuckle, "Being an apprentice will definitely keep you busy, and stronger," with a more serious look he said, "The weak can always get stronger, and they always end up being better." Whether she believed his words or not he truly believed them. He saw many strong cats fall, and many weak cats rise. "Besides they're missing out because I'm having fun with you."

[Sand]

"Yeah, I could finally see the territory to," Leopardkit meowed watching the tom in front of her the tip of her tail twitching. "Maybe, but some of the other kits probably won't believe that," she meowed tilting her head to the side. "Oh, that's a relief, wouldn't want to bore you," she meowed her eyes taking on a mischievous look. "A lot of the kits are busy pretending their leaders though," she meowed thinking of the game a lot of kits liked to play where they were leader of the clan.

[Icestorm]

"The territory is always an adventure, at least for me. You'll defiantly enjoy yourself out there. There is the heat pool, but its frozen by now. I like to go there." Maplepaw watched the kit closely with curiosity, "Do you want to be leader?" He moved to lay down in front of the kit, "The great Leopardstar, hmm hey that's got a nice ring to it. Don't you think?" He smiled at her. Think about her as a leader was amusing. He couldn't help but laugh when the thought of the leader chasing a butterfly, just as she was moment earlier.

[Sand]

"Yeah, it sure would be fun, I can't wait to start my training, but I suppose I'll be made into an apprentice soon enough." she purred. "I don't know about that, talking in front of a bunch of cats must be really hard, and a lot of your clan mates would expect you to have all the answers wouldn't they?" she meowed tilting her head to the side.
