    Dani enjoyed the simpler things in life. He always had. What use was doing some complicated thing to be happy when you could just go outside and do something simple, like making a new friend.


    Unfortunately, as Dani realized as he stepped out of his home, there wasn't really anybody outside at the crack of dawn. What a shame. The young tom, however, refused to be disappointed. "I'll jutht make my own fun, then," he murmured, looking around for something to do.


    His green eyes landed on a tree whose leaves were stirred by the slight breeze. One leaf fluttered down, and Dani saw his chance. He leapt, catching the leaf between his forepaws. He wrestled around with it for a bit before biting and ripping the leaf apart. He let out a joyous laugh, and he cauht the next leaf in his paws, batting it with sheaved claws.

    Frowning as the young child came into view Angelpaw was only in a spiteful mood because it was buttcrack of dawn, the kitsune rather enjoying a slow and steady start to the day to begin whatever task that required them. Dani's antics with the leaves so early were an annoyance. But kinda cute? The child was evidently invested with his fight against the leaves, was he not aware that they weren't sentient? Eh.


    "Hey kid, you uh? Fighting the good fight there?" How did one interact with small children? Angelpaw not only had little experience, but couldn't quite remember what it was like as a child themselves, not very exciting probably.

    ♥ The buttcrack of dawn, as Angelpaw had put it, was a very common time to see the Commander out and about. Long ago, he'd gotten himself stuck in a sleep cycle opposite from most of his clan-mates, and had just never gotten around to fixing it. The night was quiet and gave him time to roam the territory without being bothered by his position's duties, as well as the prime time for his kind of hunting. After hunting came a quiet and relaxing bath time, which is where he was about at in the current day. He walked through the capitol's streets to let his snowy fur dry, and soon came upon Dani playing with leaves, and Angelpaw attempting to be social with a kid. He couldn't say much about it though, considering that he was just as awkward, if not more, with children despite having so many of them. "I guess you could consider fighting falling leaves good battle training," Added the Commander as he walked over, assuming that two awkward older peeps was better than one.

    Dani noticed how his new Clanmates seemed to speak down to him. It was as though they thought he was younger than he was. He had just turned 6 moons old, meaning he was of apprentice age. He decided not to correct them at this point in time, because he was having far too much fun in the leaves.


    To Angelpaw he said, "I got up thuper early to go make new friendth, but everyone was thleeping! Tho I dethided to do thomething elthe while I waited." Noticing the leader come up, he replied, "Really? I thought thith might make better hunting practithe." He supposed that just showed how much he knew.

    Th kit walked outide, rubbing her eyes. This was probably one of the earliest times the kit has ever gotten up. For some odd reason, she woke up when the sun started to rise and never went back to sleep. Lapiz decided that she might as well take a morning fly around the territory. Flapping her golden wings, she lifted off the ground and soared through the sky. The territory during the 'buttcrack of dawn' was beautiful. She might even do this again.


    As she gazed down, she saw Dani playing with some leaves. What what? Leaves? Lapiz slowed down so she was hovering over Dani, Angelpaw, and Suga. She flew down and folded her wings beside her. "Hey guys! Whatcha doing?" She kit said excitedly.


    While technically both Dani and Angelpaw were on a level playing field when it came to ages, being both of apprentice age, the two were both on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Dani had been recently crowned his apprentice status, while Angelpaw was teetering on the edge of Peter Pan-ism. Even still Angelpaw also had the habit of calling practically anybody younger than them 'kid'. Levi, who was only four months younger, could attest to this fact.


    "Ah, I see." Nodding along with the younger's story Angelpaw took in the information before glancing towards Suga who had just arrived. Ang was kinda hoping to be relieved of the awkward tension, but apparently not even the father could think of what to do in the presence of a child. "Well don't let us stop you from uh, besting those leaves." On the other hand it wasn't as hard to talk to Levi.


    Watching as Lapiz arrived to join the conversation, Ang supposed that the two were more similar in age and the fore would probably have a better conversation than the the two older members currently.


    (ninja'd arghhh)

    had levi held a more childish sweet loving childhood, perhaps he would have been different than what he was now. afterall, during the early stages of life it had rained down on him with basically any sort of sin. he had seen murders, rapes, theft, disease, etc. along with malnutrition and having to keep a strong face to avoid being seen as weak, levi had grown to avoid any sort of fun. that was when he came to sunclan, he was not used to the fresh air or bright summer sun or the creativity that flowed out of the territory. he stuck out like a sore thumb, gray and dull like a storm cloud.


    the short lean japanese bobtail was striding by, a look of neutral boredom lacing his facial features as he halted beside angelpaw, glancing briefly up at the gray kitsune before snapping his attention towards the others before noticing what they were looking at. some kid, well levi was only two months older than the other yet a kid nonetheless. what irked him was that dani was already the size that the male prince already was, hell maybe even taller. as well, as lapiz it seemed. his left velvety ear twitched as the obsidian black male simply let out a small huff as he leaned back onto his haunches to sit, no knowing why they were playing with leaves when they could be doing so much more.
