Raven and Dovepaw (P)

[size=7]Croweyes[/size]

COPPER ♫
Copper giggled as he saw is littermate attempt to stand up. It couldn't be that hard, could it? "Something fun!" the little kitten purred, scrambling to his paws. He managed to stay upright - for about three seconds.

Swankit's ears twitched at the voices of her brothers and she opened her eyes sleepily. She lifted her head and blinked at the two coal-black kits, smacking her tongue sleepily against the top of her mouth. Gradually, she stretched and tried to get to her paws. As if it wasn't hard enough having so little experience with it, her sleepiness added to her wobbliness. She stumbled forward and desperately tried to catch herself, but slammed face-first into the floor of the den. "MAMA!" she squealed, her chin sore from having taken the brunt of her fall.

COPPER ♫
Okay - this would be harder than he thought. Copper pushed himself up into a sitting position and thought hard. It looked so easy when mother and father did it... His eyes, the colour of tarnished copper, looked down as his paws. "Mother?" he mewed quietly, "How do you walk?"

Dovefeather smiled and licked Swankits head. He lifted her by the scruff and set her on her paws.
"First try to see if you can stand. Your legs might not be strong enough so keep trying little ones. Try to get your weight balanced it helps,"

Swankit gritted her teeth as she was lifted back to her paws. She wasn't sure she really wanted to try again this soon. She splayed her legs out underneath herself like a sawhorse, locking her joints stiffly for fear of falling again. She looked up at Dovefeather, her eyes wide with a helpless expression. "I don't think I'm doing it right."

Dove smiled,"Its better then most kits your age. Try to losen your legs and bring them closer. You can come lay down if you want," she said wrapping her tail around Swankit.

Crow stood up slowly his legs shaking. He took one step his leg locking up with his first step. Then another that one locking again,"Mom! Im doing it!" he said taking anonther step. He took another one and fell over,"dang it,"

Swankit looked briefly at the her mother's tail encircling her, then tried to take a step. She hobbled forward, waddling one paw at a time like a four-legged duck. She had almost made it to her mother when her paws gave out, sending her rolling into Dove's side. "Oof!" She shook her head and looked herself over. Her eyes widened as she saw her white coat covered in brown. She squeaked in shock. "My fur changed!"

Dovefeather laughed and licked the side of her pelt. The brown turned back to white and she said,"It was dirt!"

OOC: Er... you haven't named mine yet. I think he was going to be... Darkness?

DARKNESS
Black as the night

Darkness crawled far away from his mother, so he would have longer to walk. He unsteadily rose to his paws and put them further apart. He put one paw forward at a time, and, slowly, reached his mother without falling over. He stood for a moment, then folded his legs in and sat down. He looked up at his mother in delight. "Did it! Walked!"

Copper bit his lip, concentrating hard on his mother's words. Slow but surely, the little black kit scrambled to his paws, and manged to stay balanced. "Mother! I'm doing it!" he squeaked out in delight, before dramatically tumbling back down to the ground.

(Shes already named all the kits but Redlava's becase hes never on and he makes only short posts :( )

Dove smiled at Crow,"Haha you can," she said then to darkness,"Look at you!" then to copper,"I liked that fall at the end!"

Crow smiled looking up at his mother,"WHats wrong with dad?" she said looking at him seeing he didnt do anything.

"I don't like dirt. It's scary," Swankit muttered. She watched her brothers tumbling, stirring up small clouds of dust when they fell. Her ears twitched, catching her mother's praise for even their failures. "I can do it too!" she protested. She struggled to stand, taking a few tries to get her rump of the ground. Finally her paws found the right position and she tried take her first step. With a squeak, she stumbled and fell into the white fluff of Dove's tail.

Dove looked at nightkit. He wasent moving as much and it worried her. She licked his head and tried to nudge him over to his brothers and sisters.

"It's just dirt, silly!" Copper purred, shooting a cheeky look at his sister. Whatever dirt was. The little kit couldn't really care less. Whiskers twitching, he sat down and watched his siblings.

Darkness was a little angry. He bumped into his mother. " I deed i wiou faing!"

OOC: Translation: I did it without falling.

How old are they? I just want to know if they can speak properly yet, or they're still mispronouncing and saying words wrong (Like above).

((It's been 23 OOC days since Swankit was born. My guess is that's what we're using for timing. That would make her three weeks old. I don't know if kits would be speaking perfectly by that time, but my guess is that if Darkness is old enough to get to his paws without a mistake, he's old enough to talk however you want him to. ;) ))

"It changes your fur!" Swankit said, scrambling to her paws. "I don't want to be black like you boys. I want to be...not the same!" She stuck her tongue out at Copper, her little tail wagging. She was completely unaware that she was standing steadily.

Crow growled as he went into a akward crouch and jumped tring to land on Swankit,"Then ill just make you roll in dirt!" he said smiling as he tried to tip her over.
He too didnt know he was standing and more then that pounceing

Darkness slowly lifted himself to his paws. He steadied himself, then flashed out a paw to knock both of them over.
