Where is the light? (OPEN)

[Lionhearted]

The small creme tabby kit trooped clumsily through the clearing, feeling everything in front of him carefully with his paw. Lichenkit was told he'd been born blind. He sighed heavily. He could smell the world, feel the world, and hear the world, but he couldn't see it. 

There was something called "light." Lichenkit ached to see it, longed to see it. He knew that there was no way to fix his blindness, and that StarClan had given it to him. 

Which made him angry. Why did StarClan make him blind in the first place? It was so unfair. They had opened their eyes, but they had seen so much more. His eyes were useless. 

"What color are my eyes?" he wondered out loud. Then, something sharp pricked him. Lichenkit didn't know it was a thorn. "OW, OW!" he cried. "It hurts! It hurts! My paw!"

[Silvergrass]

Pricklepaw snapped up her head to glare in the direction of the loud noise, her nap now having been disturbed. When she realised it was only a kit, she was about to go back to sleep before she felt a tiny, very tiny, pinch of guilt. Sighing and grumbling, she rose to her paws and stalked towards the young kit. "Hey now. Some of us are trying to catch a break. What's the problem?" She snapped, but scolding herself on the inside for being so harsh. "Sorry." She muttered, before trying to stare at the kits soft and apparently injured paw.

Petalkit was simply relaxing just outside the nursery when she heard a voice call out. Her ears perked up as she listened to it. She recognized the voice, it was one of the kit's. but she never got to talk.

So, realizing that some cat was in pain, she padded out of the nursery and turned her head to face the source of the voice. Seeing as the cat had just stepped on a thorn, she walked to the tom. but then she saw another she-cat that seemed to be talking to the tom. So she backed away, but kept her amber gaze on the tom just in case.

OOC: May I join?

"Hey, now, some of us are trying to catch a break. What's the problem?" snapped a voice. Then, after a pause, "sorry."

Pawsteps, and two unfamiliar scents washed over Lichenkit's nostrils, driving the pain from his mind. "Who are you?" he asked frantically. "And my paw hurts! Can't I yell a bit?" he asked defiantly. "Are you the medicine cat, or some warrior? Can you help me? I can't see."

[BigMable]

Harepaw poked his head out of the apprentice's den at the sound of Pricklepaw's voice. She sounded annoyed at Lichenkit for making ruckus about a thorn in his paw.
He padded over to the two cats and meowed, "Hey Pricklepaw! Quit being so prickly will ya?" Harepaw joked, his yellow eyes warm. He turned his head towards the kit and meowed, "It's okay little one. Here, give me your paw and I'll try to take it out".

[Lionhearted]

Lichenkit flattened his ears as another cat came by, this time closer. Tentatively, he held out his paw, as if the thorn in his pad was a piece of candy, and Harepaw was commanding him to hand it over. "You are the medicine cat, hm?" he asked bossily. "'Cause if you don't know what you're doing, I suggest you just go."

[BigMable]

Harepaw rolled his eyes as the sassy kit. "No I'm not the medicine cat, but I think I'm competent enough to take out a thorn", Harepaw meowed calmly, unphased. "Or you can just hobble around all day in pain, until the medicine cat is around. And when you become an apprentice, we can change your name to Thornpaw" Harepaw meowed, eyeing the blind kit.

[Lionhearted]

"Hey," Lichenkit meowed defensively, "I'm blind, and I don't know what to do. And when my paw gets infected and I die, it'll be partially your fault. So can you get it out or not?" prompted the creme kit impatiently. "And who are you anyway? A warrior?" tilting his head, his sightless eyes narrowed.

[Silvergrass]

"He's an apprentice who can't mind his own business. And that joke has been used a thousand times Harepaw." The apprentice muttered, watching vaguely as Harepaw pulled out the thorn from the little kits paw. "And if you're going to whine so much about a thorn, what'll it be like when your an apprentice?" She asked icily, before sitting down and gazing over to a random direction. She noticed a small little kit hiding from them, but seemingly interested in what they were doing. "You might as well come out Petalkit! I can see you!" Pricklepaw meowed to the kit.

(@frostheart, sure)

[BigMable]

Harepaw didn't reply to Pricklepaw's snide comment and pulled the thorn out of Lichenkit's paw with his teeth. He spit it out and meowed, "There. It's out but that's all I can do. You have to go see the medicine cat for herbs to prevent infection."
Harepaw gave himself a big stretch and opened his mouth into a big yawn. He then turned his head to Petalkit and happily mewed, "Hey Petalkit! Have any thorns you need taken out?"

[Deleted]

Petalkit watched quietly before she jumped as someone called her name. She smiled weakly and felt embarrassed as she stepped into the situation. She looked up to face the cat who asked her something. "N-no, not anything to pull out." she stuttered, flattening her ears. Her amber eyes glistening in sunlight.

[Silvergrass]

"Well then what are ya watching us for huh?" Pricklepaw snapped, not bothering to apologise this time. Harepaw was ignoring her attempts to rile him up and that annoyed her. She sat down and glared in no specific direction, flciking her tail sharply from right to left. She knew it was a bad idea to get up an see what the problem was.

[Lionhearted]

"Well, I don't really know where the medicine cat is, or smells like," Lichenkit said, making an exaggerated showing of limping on his injured paw. "So can one of you guys heal my paw? It just hurts," he said. The young tom, suddenly, felt scared. There were these cats he didn't know, and he could not see them, and he didn't know where he was. Was he even in WhisperClan?

[Silvergrass]

Pricklepaw flicked her ear irritably at the annoying(to her at least) kit. "We already took the thorn out! Stop whining, it's barely bleeding!" She muttered, before returning to her glaring. Great Starclan, these kits were so annoying! And Harepaw wasn't much better. She noticed Lichenkit was getting a bit nervous. So she sighed, tossed away what was left of her pride and moved towards Lichenkit. "If it's that bad then let me take a look."

[BigMable]

Harepaw sighed and twitched his ears irritably. Even he was starting to get annoyed with the whiny kit. He did his best not to show it though.
"We already took the thorn out! Stop whining, it's barely bleeding!" Pricklepaw meowed sharply. Harepaw silently agreed with her. Watching her as she began to inspect Lichenkit's paw, he thought Well at least she has somewhat of a soft spot.

"I thought kits were supposed to be playful and fun", he meowed aloud. He spotted a clump of moss close by and rolled it into a ball with his paws. Hooking the ball with his claw, he tossed it into the air towards Petalkit. "Petalkit, catch!" he yowled.
