^{Novemberkit blinking open her sapphire eyes. Dreamily she stared out of the cracks in the nursery that let the warm light flood in, wondering what it would be like out there. A kitten like herself shouldn't be out now, the cold would chill her to the bone. At least that's what her mother often told her, although the little kit didn't quite believe her. After all, the apprentices got to be out and they were fine. Shifting her position to where she was facing a larger crack, she peeped out at the business around her.
She caught flashes of legs and tails, trotting walking, pausing. Her breath came in quick gasps, she hadn't realized how many cats were out there! Breathless in wonder she watched eagerly, excitement flooding through her.}

^{Novemberkit gave a little gasp as a yellow eyed cat actually stopped in front of the nursery, her heart leaping with excitement as he stepped in. Sapphire eyes glowing with wonder and awe, she scooted back to her mothers protective side, but all to soon her curiosity got the best of her and she bounded up toward him, eyes eyes shining bright with excitement.}

She couldn't quite believe her eyes, sparing a few seconds of gazing to poke her brother -- his response being in the form of a grunt of annoyance and shifting to his other side.
Rolling her eyes, the little tabby gave her undivided attention again to taking in every detail and smell of the stranger. The smell of sea spray mingled with wind pulsed from his pelt, the same smells that wafted faintly into the nursery except magnified. That alone made him, in her eyes, some great cat that had actually seen what was outside of the protective nursery walls.}
