Let's go on an adventure || Open

[nomstar]

Ryekit sleepily blinked her eyes. She was still half in her dream...And the brave warrior, Ryestar, lept up the tree...
Then suddenly she was awake. She couldn't wait to be a warrior! The little she-cat ran to the entrance of the nursuary. She could see it lightly snowing outside. It looked so fun. Being only 2 moons she hadn't seen snow yet. I'm going to go on an adventure she thought! Ryekit looked around for someone else to play with. She didn't really know anyone else and was too shy. Plus lots of the kits were mush bigger than her and a bit scary. but despite that she hoped that there would be someone to go on an adventure with her.

Cloudpaw was sitting inthe clearing, enjoying the light snow that fell and stuck to her pelt, merely blending in with her sleek white fur. For once, she didn't mind being left out. After all, the deaf she-cat was used to it, and she liked the snow.

As she glanced around, she noticed a little she-kit emerge from the nursery. To Cloudpaw, she appeared as though she was about to burst, but the little kit didn't seem to have anyone else to play with. She wondered if she should offer to play. Would the kit welcome her company? Well, only one way to find out.

"Hello," Cloudpaw mewed as she padded up to the kit. The kit would learn eventually that she was deaf, but she decided not to show it right away by using the few words she knew. After all, she didn't want to scare the kit away.

[nomstar]

The kit spun round at the sound of a voice. Oh, hello! She mewed in surprise. A new friend! Thought the kit in surprise. I wonder if she will want to go on an adventure with me? She looked curiously at the apprentice. Then some snow landed on her nose. She looked at it in surprise. It felt surprisingly wet and dry at the same time. Then, she sneezed. Ryekit looked back towards the apprentice. So, do you want to come on an adventure with me? Oh, and do you want to be my friend?

[Deleted]

Cloudpaw stared at the little she-kit, wished so much that she understood what she had said. Cloudpaw realized she couldn't hold back any longer. She needed to let the little kit know in case she decided she wanted to play with someone else.

"Cloudpaw," she mewed as an introduction, pointing at herself. Then, "Deaf." She hoped the kit knew what that meant.

[nomstar]

She's deaf! I- Ryekit stopped. Duh, she's deaf and can't hear you. The kit nodded to show that she understood. Then she went to sit next to Cloudpaw. Hmmm.. how can we communicate? she murmured to herself. Since she had no one else to play with, Ryekit really wanted to make friends with this apprentice. She lent gently adainst the bigger cat, hoping that Cloudpaw would understand she wanted to be friends.

[Deleted]

Cloudpaw was surprised when the little kit leaned against her, but she didn't move away. Actually, she was more than happy. Oh, how she wished she knew how to say what she wanted to!

Without words, Cloudpaw would have to use actions instead. She bent down and licked the top of the little kit's head, hoping to let her know that she wanted to be friends.

[nomstar]

Ryekit purred as she felt the rasping of Cloudpaw's tongue against her head. She wants to be my friend! She was so happy that she felt like she was about to explode. My first friend! We're going to have so much fun together! She didn't care that Cloudpaw was deaf. o what? That wouldn't stop them from being friends! They could create their own secret language! It was going to be so much fun.

[Deleted]

Cloudpaw sat for a moment in silence before finally deciding to move away. She was deaf- that didn't mean she couldn't play. She padded across the clearing, her blue eyes searching. When she finally found what she was looking for, she scooped it up and returned to the little kit. She laid the moss ball at the kit's paws, silently asking with her eyes if the kit wanted to play.

but first, Cloudpaw wanted to know one thing.

"Cloudpaw," she mewed, pointing a paw at herself. Then she pointed her paw at the kit, silently asking for her name.

[nomstar]

Ryekit She said slowly. Maybe Cloudpaw will be able to copy the shape my mouth makes! Rye. Kit. Ryekit. She lookedat the ball of mos that the apprentice brought. Does she want to play with it? Wondered the golden kit. She hooked the mossball up into the air with on paw and batted it towards Coudpaw. This is fun!

[Deleted]

"Ryekit," Cloudpaw repeated. She hoped she had said it right, but didn't really have much time to think about before a mossball appeared in her face. She reached out a paw and deflected it, and it landed at her paws. Cloudpaw happily scooped it up and tossed it at Ryekit, smiling as she did so.

It was so fun for her to just play! It was always extremely tough training or serious apprentices. Never had she met anyone who simply wanted to play with her. Not since her kithood, at least.

[nomstar]

Yes! She squealed. Cloudpaw knows my name! She lept up and batted the moss ball away. It flew over near the entrance to the nursery and she bounded over to it, kicking up snow behind her. She grabbed it in her mouth and ran back over to the white apprentice. This is so fun!

[Deleted]

Cloudpaw watched the little kit dart off, shaking her head to clear the snow that Ryekit had kicked up. She laughed at the kit's enthusiasm as she raced after her.

Fresh snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Cloudpaw leaped to catch them in her paws.

[nomstar]

A snowflake landed on Ryekit's nose. It felt soft and wet. She licked it up and bounced around, catching them in her mouth. She ran through the snow over to Cloudpaw. The apprentice was catching the flakes in her paw, so Ryekit tried that too. She lept up and grabbed the little bundles of cold in her paws. Then sunnedly when she landed, he paws skidded on the slippery ground and she found herself lying in a pile of snow. She got up and shook herself off. but know she was beginning to grow cold. but she wanted to keep playing. So she ingnored her shivers and kept catching snowflakes.

[Deleted]

Cloudpaw continued to catch snowflakes, noticing with amusement that Ryekit was copying her.

When the little she-kit slipped, Cloudpaw raced over to help her, but before she even arrived, Ryekit was up and running again. Cloudpaw smiled, but noticed that the kit was shivering. Poor thing.

She padded over to stand beside her, pressing her own warm fur to the little kit.

[nomstar]

Ryekit blinked in surprise when Cloudpaw pressed her fur to the kit. We are going to be the best of friends! She purred and rubbed against the white apprentice. Instantly she felt warmer. I can't wait until I'm an apprentice! Maybe Cloudpaw and I will be apprentices together! Only 3 more moons to wait!
