New friends? (Open)

[Stormsy]

Squirrelfire walked into the clearing with a spring in her step, her eyes bright with excitement. She was bored and therefore, decided to see if she could make any new friends. Her dark amber eyes scanned the area, looking for someone who wasn't too terribly busy. After a few minutes she gave up, plopping down in a shady spot near the entrance.

A tiny golden fluffball came stampeding out of the nursery. He knew he probably wasn't allowed to be out on his own yet, as his health still wasn't quite up to par with his sister's, but he didn't care. He was sick of being cooped up in that den, and he wanted a change of pace! A pair of clear yellow eyes swept the clearing, and his very being seemed to be letting off sparks of excitement. His gaze fell on a she-cat sitting in a shady spot near the entrance to the camp. Aha! A likely candidate. The tiny kit bounded over to her, tripping over his paws in the process. He landed in a tangled heap before her. From the ground, he peered up at her and mewed, "Hi! I'm Sunkit! Who are you?"

[Stormsy]

Squirrelfire jumped up happily upon seeing the kit racing over to her. "Hi Sunkit! My name is Squirrelfire! How are you today?" she purred, tail twitching happily. She examined the kit for a moment, licking his head where a few furs were sticking up, then looked up at the nursery to see if his mother was watching.

"Squirrelfire?  That's a pretty name!" Sunkit mewed cheerfully when the she-cat introduced herself to him.  "I'm AWESOME!" he squeaked enthusiastically in response to her question, bouncing up and down slightly on his toes.  He squirmed away from her as she smoothed the fur on his head with her tongue, not wanting to sit still long enough to be groomed.  "Are you a warrior?" he asked, bouncing this way and that in front of and around her.  "I want to be a warrior, too!"

[Stormsy]

Squirrelfire let out a soft purr. "You have a pretty cool name too!" she replied, watching the young kit bounce about around her. "Yeah, I'm a warrior. It's really cool! I get to hunt, and patrol, and explore, and just going out and even just walking around is amazing! I bet you'll be a great warrior yourself!"

"You got that right!" Sunkit exclaimed.  Catching sight of a nearby leaf, the tiny tom dropped into a crouch, wiggled his rump, then pounced.  He batted at the leaf, giggling to himself.  "I'm gonna be the best warrior this -- or any Clan has ever seen!"  After a few moments, he lost interest in the leaf and looked back up at Squirrelfire.  "Do you have kits, too?  Some of the other she-cats have kits.  And then my dad," he said, starting to giggle again, "but he doesn't sleep in the nursery with the other she-cats.  That would be silly!"

[Stormsy]

Squirrelfire smiled at Sunkit upon seeing his excitement. She watched him play with the leaf for a bit. "No, I don't have any kits, though I hope to soon!" she said, giggling as he talked about his dad. "I also hope to get an apprentice one day, too!" she meowed, eyes glowing with excitement.

Sunkit straightened up, done with the leaf, and looked with wide yellow eyes at Squirrelfire. "How come you don't have any kits yet then if you want some?" he asked inquisitively. Not fully understanding the way the world worked yet, it seemed like a perfectly innocent question to him. He thought that when a cat wanted kits, they just decided to have some and then POOF! There they were. Toms or she-cats could do it, independently even, though they usually seemed to pair up. His dad hadn't, so he didn't see why toms couldn't decide to have kits and raise them solo.

A bright idea suddenly occurred to him. "Hey! Maybe I can be your apprentice!" he suggested excitedly, dripping into a playful crouch again. "We can start right now! I'm Sunpaw, the best apprentice the clan has ever seen!" He began attacking the leaf again, looking up at Squirrelfire to see what she would think.

[Stormsy]

Squirrelfire twitched her tail, giggling at the question Sunkit assumed was innocent. "Well, to have kits, two cats have to love each other very much, and I guess I just haven't found the right tom yet!" she explained, licking a paw and running it over her ear.

Her eyes sparkled at the apprentice suggestion, and she smiled happily. "Alright, Sunpaw! I can show you how to do a hunters crouch!" she said, getting down into the proper position. "You have to get low to the ground, and make sure your tail doesn't drag. but at the same time, you have to make sure your muscles are still tense enough to be able to pounce!"

(Mind if I join this? If not just mention it and I'll delete the post)
Sorrelwhisker looked outside the warrior den. He couldn't see many others out at the moment. He stepped completely outside the warrior den and his bright ginger fur shone in the sun. He yawned and took a better look around camp. He saw a small gold kit run out of the kit den, and run over to a she-cat near the camp entrance. Sorrelwhisker watched them quietly for a moment then padded to the fresh-kill pile. He picked up a large squirrel. He sat down near the warriors den and began to eat the squirrel, looking back up at the she-cat and kit every once and a while. 'They don't seem to notice me.' He thought silently to himself, 'All the better, I probably wouldn't be able to get any words out anyways...'

[Stormsy]

(No no its fine if you join in )

Squirrelfire glanced sideways at Sorrelwhisker, noticing him looking over a few times. She waved her tail a bit and said hello, still showing the hunter's crouch to Sunkit. "Do you wanna join in?" she asked politely, her eyes glowing in excitement.

[Deku]

(thanks!)
Sorrelwhisker glanced up at her and nodded, a grin spreading across his face. He finished his squirrel quickly, then padded over. Sorrelwhisker looked at the she-cat, "Thanks for inviting me, but I don't think I know your name. I'm newer to the clan, I just joined recently." His grin changed to an apologetic smile, and his eyes shone with curiosity.

[Stormsy]

"Oh! I'm Squirrelfire!" she meowed, sitting up. She glanced at Sunkit for a second then looked back up at Sorrelwhisker. "What's your name?" she asked, smiling softly. She remembered seeing him join the clan but for some reason never talked to him, which was odd because Squirrelfire talked to every cat she could.

[Deku]

"I'm Sorrelwhisker, nice to meet you Squirrelfire." Sorrelwhisker looked down at the kit gently, "What is your name?" Sorrelwhisker smiled. Usually it was so hard to talk to new cats, so why were these two different? He didn't seem to be afraid to talk Squirrelfire like most other she-cats. 'I hope this doesn't go wrong,' He thought to himself.

Sunkit watched Squirrelfire demonstrate the technique. His yellow eyes were shining with excitement and he couldn't seem to hold still; he was fidgeting ferociously. When she told him to try it, he practically tripped over himself in his eagerness. "Like this?" he asked, crouching near the earth and stalking clumsily forward. His tail waved stiffly back and forth in an attempt to maintain his balance.

When Sorrelwhisker approached, Sunkit decided to use him as his target. The tiny golden tom stalked towards him, then batted playfully at the warrior's tail tip when he was close enough. "Nice to meet you, Sorrelwhisker! I'm Sunpaw, the greatest apprentice the clan has ever seen!" he boasted proudly, still batting at the tom's tail.
