Another Meeting [Open]

Shadowshine squeezed out of the burrow, struggling a little due to the size of his shoulders. Once he managed to get out, he waited for Nymph before he began to head in the direction of the camp.
"Some cat's make not take too kindly to you," The tom warned. "However, many are very nice and you're also with me. You shouldn't have any problems but if a cat does cat get a little..." He tried to pick his words carefully. "Gets a little "uncomfortable" around you, just don't interact with them."
Shadowshine decided to skirt around the river supposed to padding across it, he didn't like the idea of slipping on the wet ice nor dealing with an injured she-cat.
"Blackkit should be in the nursery, he is very good but may ask you lots of questions." Shadowshine warned Nymph.

Shadowshine was oblivious to her "off" attitude, he was far too excited about Numph meeting Blackkit. They soon came across a slight bank, which over looked the RiverClan camp. The tom turned his attention upon Nymph before gesturing down the hill before bounding down it himself, he came to an abrupt halt at the bottom and sighed.
'It's good to be home,' He thought in delight.

Shadowshine turned and gazed upon Nymph, a glimmer of humour within his amber eyes.
"What are you doing?" He asked, noting how low her head was. "Are you shy?" He joked before he began to slowly pad through the camp. He hoped Nymph would follow him, he was really excited about introducing Blackkit to her. The Chocolate Pointed tom stuck his head into the nursery, beckoning his son to come and meet Nymph.
"Blackkit, there's someone I want you to meet," Shadowshine cooed before he backed out and allowed Blackkit to appear.

Blackkit was, well, as his name suggest's, a completely jet black young tom-cat with sea green eyes. He tilted his head a little as he gazed upon his father with curious round eyes.
"Whose that?" He asked in a demanding tone.

Blackkit's ears flattened slightly, his green eyes peered up into Nymph's before he aburptly turned away from her.
"Why have you brought her here?" The kit demanded. "She isn't a Clan cat, otherwise she'd have a Clan name!"
Blackkit edged away from Nymph, his own eye's now appearing cold and hard, before he hid behind Shadowshine.
"Who is she to you, dad?"

Shadowshine appeared rather hurt by how rude Blackkit was to Nymph, he gently put his tail over the she-cat in a friendly manner before he turned upon his son.
"She is a friend, Blackkit, and I wanted you to be the first one to meet her." Shadowshine explained gently. "It doesn't matter if she isn't a Clan cat, she is still a very special friend of mine."
The tom then hesitated at Blackkit's next question, unsure as to what to say to his son. He turned to Nymph for help, it was obvious he was a bit clueless when it came to being a father.

Shadowshine nodded his thanks to Nymph, a pleasant smile on his face.
"See, she is a good and kind cat," Shadowshine spoke, his tone a little forceful. "Surely you wouldn't mind if I were to... See Nymph more often." He paused briefly, he didn't want to lose Nymph because of his son but nor was he going to leave his son for a she-cat. "Don't you like Nymph?"

Blackkit giggled a little at Nymph's story about his dad getting trapped under snow, however as soon as Shadowshine spoke the humour was gone from his eyes.
"I don't like her eyes," He stated, occassionally he'd glance up at them. "But why do you want to see a cat you rescued you?"

"No, I wasn't saying thank you!" Blackkit snapped. "Just because I'm a kit, it doesn't mean I'm brain dead."
Blackkit eyed Nymph in suspicion, angered by her patronising attitude.
'Why does every cat try to patronise me?' He thought bitterly.

Shadowshine appeared horrified by Blackkit's statement, his eyes filled with sadness.
'I can't believe I'm going to have to chose between the two,' He thought, heartache evident within his eyes.
He shook away that thought and gestured for Blackkit to go into the nursery.
"Go and play for a while, I need to talk to Nymph about grown-up stuff." Shadowshine spoke gently before he shooed his son away. "Ahh," He sighed. "I'm sorry about him, ever since Paintedheart and his sibling's went, he has been a little off."
His gaze was lowered in defeat, no longer did he appear happy or excited like he was before.
"I'll be honest with you, Nymph. My son is my world, but I want you to be apart of it. I... I really, really like you. Can we try and work it out, that's if you like me in that way and want to."

Shadowshine opened his mouth to object, but Nymph had disappeared into a corner. A despressive energy glowed around the tom, his eye's were dulled and his shoulder's sagged.
"Why can't I find anyone who make's me happy?" He spoke quietly to himself before he began to pad away to the warrior den.

Blackkit overheard the conversation and despite the fact he wasn't keen on the she-cat, or sharing his dad, he didn't like to see his father unhappy. With that he padded into the shadowy corner where Nymph was curled up, it was evident the kit didn't want to be there but that he'd done it off of his own back.
"I don't know who you are or why you have strange eyes." Blackkit began. "But I know my dad wouldn't introduce me to a random cat who happened to save his life, unless he thought fondly of them. I don't really like you, but if you make my dad happy then I won't be rude."
For such a young kit, he spoke in a very matter-of-fact tone and was fairly mature by the way he spoke.

Despite the fact Blackkit was fairly young, not even close to being an apprentice, he was mature because of how alone he usually was. With a sigh, he rolled his eyes in frustration before shrugging.
"If that's what you want," Blackkit stated. "So you came all this way to meet me and now my dad doesn't mean anything to you?"

Blackkit noted the change in the she-cat's voice, however he presumed that she didn't like him.
"Don't tell me what to do!" He snapped. "Every cat thinks that because I'm a kit I don't have feelings! Well, you know what I'd love, I'd love to force feed the hatred and lonliness I feel everyday!" The tom growl in anger. "You know what, I don't believe you one bit. If he meant something to you, surely you'd fight for something like that? He means a lot to me, he is the only family I have left, and I'm fighting for some happiness for him!"
Blackkit noticed the she-cat begin to cover her ears with her paws, instantly he thought she was ignoring him.
"Don't ignore me!" He spat.

Blackkit began to take a step back, somewhat confused and worried by the she-cat's sudden upset outburst.
'Oh dear, what has father found!' He thought in horror.
No, he didn't like her one bit but he knew his father thought fondly of her.
'I'm sure I can put up with her for dad's sake.' He thought before he nodded his vigorously to her response.
His father was often off and doing things without him, it wouldn't make much of a difference if a she-cat were to take the place of his mother. The thought of his mother angered him, he felt betrayed that she had left him for no apparent reason. Before Blackkit even got a chance to reply, the she-cat appeared to have fainted or something.
"Oh, dear..." Blackkit mumbled before he dashed to find his father in the warrior's den. "Dad, you're female friend has passed out!"

Shadowshine had been sitting silently in his nest, appearing to be asleep but he was in deep thought. The entrance of his son caused Shadowshine to perk up, his eyes turned upon his son before he dashed out of the den at his words. He ordered Blackkit back to the nursery before he came to crouch beside Nymph.
"Nymph" He nudged the she-cat with the tip of his nose.
