    Gingerkit stumbled into the camp's clearing. She sniffed, and caught the faintest scent of Dawnheart. She followed it, and soon found herself in a rather large den. She jumped as she heard pawsteps behind her, but then realized that it as her sister, Firekit. "Where are we?" Firekit asked in a whisper. "I don't know, but I think it's one of the dens that isn't the nursery. Anyways, I followed Dawnheart's scent here." Gingerkit answered, puffing out her chest in pride.


    OOC: It's night, cats are sleeping, but the kits are making enough racket for an elder in the way back of the den to hear :P

    Mercurypoisoning actually didn't sleep in the warrior den, but in a clump of reeds at the edge of camp. Hell, he wasn't even usually asleep, but simply staring out into the swallowing blackness of the surrounding forest, alert to every crack of twig or swish of wind.


    He watched the two kittens sneak loudly into the warrior den, inwardly wincing. You just didn't go making all that noise at night, just like you didn't light a cigarette. The disfigured warrior sat where he was for a while, almost as if he were frozen in spot, wondering in a daze if he should maybe go and get them to shut up. He stayed like that for a long moment, as though he were elsewhere, then seemed to shake off whatever funk he'd been in and got up.


    "Hurrrr," he moaned and he stretched, a bone in his back popping.


    "Hey, kiddos!" he whispered into the warrior den, waving his wide black-tipped paws in a come here gesture.

    Firekit glanced at the entrance of the den, fur bristling.
    Gingerkit nudged Firekit, and pointed out that it was a RiverClan warrior, and that they wanted the two kits to come closer. So, they edged forward.

    Mercurypoisoning flashed what he thought was a winning grin, though due to his disfigurement it sort of looked more like a grimace.


    "Wanna play a game?"


    He literally had no idea he was being super creepy, he was just earnestly friendly like that. Well, when he wasn't smashing heads like pumpkins.

    Featherflight watched in her nest. She got up and stood in front of the kits, separating them from Mercurypoisoning.
    "What is your problem?" she asked him. "Leave these kits alone."

    "Ye-" Mercurypoisoning started, then broke off at Featherlight's intrusion. He turned to stare at the warrior.


    "Excuse me?" he asked. What the fuck was her problem anyhow? "Ya th' mother o' these kits?"

    She flashed a look at the cat.
    "First of all, no. Second if all, I don't think that's appropriate language for kits. Third, I don't trust you alone with them."

    Mercurypoisoning began to growl. "I never said anythin' inappropriate!" he protested, his flesh beginning to burn red. "I know how t' act around kids, I got three o' my own!"


    Seriously... "You can play with 'em, but I can't, even though yer not their mother an' we're both from th' same Clan. Why's that? Ya don't trust yer own Clanmate? 'Cause I was born in BloodClan, is that it?" He thought he was done with cats like this, but apparently not.


    "Listen, I ain't gonna kill 'em or nothin'. I fought fer my Clan! I've been here fer a year now. What do I have t' do t' prove myself? I'm not dangerous!" Well, he was the definition of dangerous, but he'd never hurt kits. Really.

    She looked at him silently for a moment.
    "Th-then why were you speaking so evilly?" she asked. He sounded truthful, but she didn't like the tone in his voice.

    "Sorry for treating you like I did. I guess you can play with the kits. But you should probably tell their mother first. I'm going to go back to sleep." She walked back to her nest and curled up. She slowly fell asleep.

    Leaftail padded into the warrior's den. She slept there now, since her kits where almost apprentices. She jumped, startled to see her kits there. "What are you doing here?" she asked her kits.
    "We were about to play a game!" Gingerkit answered happily.

    Wildfang woke up with a fright she saw the two kits and Leaftail,she gave a quick small smile and walked out.She looked at the moon and yawned.She decided to go to the river to have a drink.She padded out quietly and left.
