A Petal near a Fire (Falc)

he pouted more "I like the rain what I don't like is the MUD, it's all sticky and icky" he waves his paws around as if shaking mud off them "I haven't had fish yet, Aspenpool likes it though, is it tasty?" he looks interest his ears prickled forward to catch her response

[Icestorm]

The small she-cat listened to firekit as he complained about mud. She shook her head at the kit. She wanted to tell him that he wouldn't have to deal with too much mud in life, after all there was a lot of sand to help stop it get so muddy. Yet, Firekit made it seem like it was such a big deal she couldn't do it.

Is fish tasty? Her green eyes grew wide at the question. "Well Of course," she exclaimed excitedly, sitting back up. She licked her lips at the thought of fish, "I think fish is the best thing Starclan gave us," she said excitedly wrapping her tail around her. "Just you wait Firekit. You'll have your first fish soon and you'll just love it!"

[Falcon]

He nods but doesn't look very sure of that cause he had never tried it before “Well I'll have to try it sometime then if you say so, how's swimming? Is it has hard as it looks cause it looks sorta hard, lots of running it looks like, if they're running so hard how come they sink?” he tilts his head slightly in confusion his ears flopping slightly to the side of his head

[Icestorm]

The sandy she-cat tried to think about how to explain swimming. Her memory taking her back to her first time learning with her mentor. She had struggled at first. It just didn't seem to come easy to her, but soon she got it. She loved it actually, its become second nature to her so she wasn't sure how to answer the small kit. "Uh, well swimming is," her long tail twitched from side to side, "swimming isn't hard once you get the hang of it. It's scary giving the water your trust," she gave a nervous giggle as she started to second guess herself and how she could explain swimming. "If you struggle in the water, then you might just sink. but if you trust in the water and stay calm then its like... well running. Sorry Firekit its hard to explain I guess. Does it make sense at all?"

[Falcon]

“Yeah it does, my mommy didn't like swimming much, but Aspenpool says that she got eaten by a badger, have you eaten a cat before? I don't think they'd be tasty” he makes a face

[Icestorm]

Petalpaw felt her heart tighten. This kit seemed to of had a bad start, yet he didn't seem to mind. Firekit didn't seem to understand what he was saying or he did but didn't let it bother him. She wished she knew which of the two it was. He was beginning to make her question their conversation again. Was she saying the right things? His past keeps coming up, but does he mind? Should I change the subject? Should I- eaten a cat, wait what? "Oh no Firekit," she said a little loudly. She covered her mouth with a paw removing it slowly, "We don't eat our kind silly. Have you ever seen a cat in the fresh kill pile," she asked pointing to the pile.

[Falcon]

Firekit shook his head “Well no not yet but I never really went over there so I don't know much of what's in there for all I know there could be screechers in there or the little yapping thing that lived with my Mommy in her screecher den”

[Icestorm]

Petalpaw smiled at the kit's wild imagination. Someone had been listening too many elders telling their stories. "Screechers?" she asked teasingly, "Do you know what that is exactly? Or did someone tell you a story?" Petalpaw moved herself to be seated up right with her long tail wrapped around her completely. This kit was defiantly amusing though.

[Falcon]

"Screechers took care of my mommy when she lived in their den, the little yappy thing would make a lot of noise and bounce around" Firekit hopped around making yipping barking sounds "like that"

[Icestorm]

Petalpaw watched Firekit her green eyes following him as he hopped around and around. She couldn't stop her smile from forming as he made some strange sounds. "You sound so sure," she smiled at him even more, "Just like that huh? Are you sure," she asked in a teasing voice. Her confidence in herself with Firekit was increasing. She could feel it, her thoughts were far from worrying, well as much as they usually are at least. She was getting comfortable.

[Falcon]

Firekit nodded rapidly "yup it was really noisy and it never shut up it chased me around by my Mommy scratched it and it would run away and I get stuck in the box again"
