Frost on the Briar Branch (Open, Lightningtrail)

[Aspenfall]

Frostkit wriggled her haunches, preparing to pounce on a moss ball in front of her. With a swift movement, she had scooped it up into the air, leaping after it and catching it just before she hit the ground.

Bored, Frostkit stopped her play, washing her fluffy pelt miserably. None of her playmates were awake at the moment, and she was too shy to talk to Brairkit. The surly she-cat was more hot-tempered than even Frostkit, and that was saying something.

She caught herself glancing at the moody kit ever so often. The young silvery she-cat shivered nervously. Something about Briarkit put her at unease.

Briarkit watched Frostkit play with the ball of moss in silence. The tortie had never been the type to just jump into a game where she had not been invited, and she was not overly eager to change this. She was perfectly happy watching the other kit without intervening. Her tail gave a small flick as Frostkit stopped her playing and began to clean herself. This was much less interesting to Briarkit, and she could not help but to feel annoyance rising up inside her belly because she was forced to find something else to entertain her.

She was considering just leaving Frostkit and going somewhere else when the other kit shot a glance her way. What did she want? Briarkit's tail gave another flick, and she breathed a sigh before standing. The she-cat walked over to the other kit, and sat down a mouselength away from Frostkit. "Hi," She mewed. "Why aren't you playing anymore?" The she-cat asked, getting straight to the point.

Frostkit bristled slightly. "U-Um...well, I got bored I guess...?" She said this unsurely, as if she'd get boxed around the ears for answering incorrectly. The glare Briarkit was giving her made her want to cower and run to the nursery, but she held her ground.

OOC; Sorry for short post. XD

((Nah, don't worry about it!))

Briarkit continued looking at Frostkit after she received an answer in mild confusion. Why was she so nervous? The pale she-kit had not heard rumors that Frostkit was of that sort, and she certainly wasn't acting very threatening. After all, she just asked a simple question. but maybe that was the problem. Maybe she was not being talkative enough for Frostkit to feel comfortable.

After a few moments of silence, she decided to attempt communication again. "Um, that's too bad." Briarkit mewed, trying to appear softer and nicer. After all, how was she ever supposed to get a friend if every other kit acted afraid of her all the time? Or at least that was what it felt like to the she-cat. "If you don't think it would be boring, we could play a game," Briarkit offered, her pretty eyes blinking.

"O-Oh. A game. Well, I, um, you see, I--" Struggling for words, she finally swallowed. She was just being a stupid furball, that's all. Briarkit was trying to be nice and Frostkit was here jittering away.

"S-sure, but I don't know very many games," Frostkit mumbled, gently batting the ball over to Briarkit without looking up at her. An idea suddenly popped into her idea and she quivered with excitement.
"How about hide and seek?"

[Lightningtrail]

Briarkit was a bit confused by the other kit's apparent shyness, but she waited patiently for an answer from Frostkit. The small moss ball bumped into Briarkit's leg, and she looked down at the small ball. She was about to suggest that the pair just go back to playing moss ball as Frostkit had done earier, but it appeared that the light colored she-kit had different plans.

Briarkit's whiskers gave a twitch as she thought. Hide and seek did sound fun. "Sure," Briarkit responded. "You wanna seek or hide?" Whether she ended up hiding or seeking, Briarkit knew that this game would be enjoyable.
