    [[This thread is for my two sibling-kits to find out that the other exists, and the hilarity that ensues. I welcome other cats of any ages or any clan to jump in and interact with the intelligent kits, but I reserve the right to ignore you.]]


    The queens and little kitties of ThunderClan had been moved to WindClan for... "safe keeping". Specifically, the re-enforecd nursery. The hustle and bustle of cats became even more hustled as the crisis lingered and developed.


    Jadekit, who has only recently found another cat, a royal kitten at that, who would acknowledge her presence, was luckily picked up by a random ThunderClan warrior and carried to the camp on the grassy moorland with the rest of the kittens.


    Rustlekit, who had been abandoned in a very similar manner as Jadekit was, had lived the past 4 months in WindClan. Being a tom, he found it a bit easier to just nose right in wherever he wanted and make a friend, but with the older, more mature kits and apprentices.


    These two kittens had a lot in common... What did StarClan hold for them? Nothing special for sure, but perhaps a filling of a hole, or two.

    Freedomkit watched, looking at them with perked ears. Weariness scattered her gaze and she looked curiously upon them. How alike those two seemed, and how they seemed to be related. Yet Freedomkit wasn't exactly sure herself.



    [low muse, sorry x.x]

    Rustlekit padded out of the WindClan nursery at the sound of much mewling, whining, and urgent conversation. A very, very strong scent hit his nose as soon as he got close to the nursery entrance. At first, the red tabby thought the stench was coming from the WindClan warrior who was there reinforcing the wall of the nursery.


    But then his blue eyes caught sight of the mass of cats making the rucus that had brought him out of his warm nest. Ahhh, right... that must be part of the clans that Gravelstar invited to stay with us! I remember now...


    Rustlekit didn't know how to distinguish scents of different clans yet, but he had overheard WindClan warriors talking after Gravelstar had told them they would be housing both RiverClan and ThunderClan. The tabby kitten was very smart for his age and able to piece some puzzles, like this one, together.


    He took a few deep breaths in order to let his nose and brain get used to the strange, pungent odors before padding confidently out to the group. When he came closer to the group of ThunderClan, he quickly recognized fear scent... and a lot of it. Understandable, I suppose. ... Anyway, Gravelstar said for us to make them feel welcome, so here we go.


    Rustlekit stood up straight, though he was hard to see amongst the WindClan queens that were greeting and mingling with the ThunderClan visitors. His red tail waved confidently behind him as he lifted his head and yowled in a rather large, but squeaky, voice: "Welcome! Welcome to WindClan's nursery. I am Rustlekit, and I'm very happy to be able to meet some new faces. I hope you ThunderClanners will be happy and comfortable here. If you need directions, fresh bedding, or something else, please ask me." As he paused, he forced an incredibly huge grin on his face, such that the speech and the face created what was almost the "car salesman" of the kitty world...


    Remembering that he was still an outsider, and... not remembering that he was still a kit, Rustlekit added quickly, "...if all other apprentices and warriors are occupied, that is." He was an outgoing, forward, and down-right bold kit, but that went paw-in-paw with an ability to respect authority when it would benefit him.

    Jadekit padded out from behind a flock of queen so that she could see the squeaking tom-kit as he talked. What a strange sight! A kitten welcoming strangers... and... very excited about it as well, almost as if he's trying to promote WindClan. I guess I still have a lot to learn about clan life.



    The grey tabby kitten stood still for a moment to take in the sights of the camp and to assess the situation. Since she wasn't officially charged to any queen, and since she knew she wouldn't be of much help, she decided to start trying to make friends with their new "neighbors".



    The grey tail gave three quick motions towards the loud kitten that had just spoken. Jadekit had indicated to Freedomkit that she was going to go speak with him, as that seemed the easiest place to start making conversation... and hopefully friends. The tabby she-kit wasn't sure whether her snow-white friend would follow or not; Freedomkit had been awful tired since the disappearance of her father. So she wouldn't blame her BFF if she stayed close to the queens.

    Noticing Jadekit's gestures, Freedomkit nodded, getting to her paws. As if in support, Freedomkit followed Jadekit with dull green eyes. Ever since the disappearance of her father, things had gone wrong for her.

    Kindlekit laughed at the little kits. How cute! Although, she knew she wouldn't like to be called cute by cats her own age. The black smoke tabby pranced (yes, pranced) towards them, a grin on her face. "Hello, there!" she mewed. She cocked her head to the side. The two she-cats seemed familiar......"Oh! You're Freedomkit!" Of course! Freedomkit was the leader's daughter, and apparently a good friend of Kindlekit's brother. Her warm brown eyes gleamed with excitement. "Im Barleykit's sister." she mewed, trying to make sense of her.......maybe too enthuthiastic approach.

    "Oh!" Freedomkit mewed with a smile. "Yup, I'm Freedomkit. I'm friends with Barleykit." she meowed to Kindlekit. "What's your name?" Although Kindlekit seemed familiar the white she-cat wasn't all too sure.

    Kindlekit smiled, then realized that it seemed pretty weird for a stranger to know her. "I'm Kindlekit. And..sorry. I just know you because...well...you're the leader's daughter. My brother and father have said a lot about you." she mewed. "I'm glad that Barleykit has a good friend like you. If only Dewkit would cooperate as well!" the little she-kit laughed. Dewkit was really standoffish now, especially since that crazy cat half-blinded her.

    [[Kindlekit is WindClan, right? Also, sorry for the delay; I was out of town and mobile devices are anything but conductive to long posts. ;) ]]



    Not to be outdone or over-shadowed, Rustlekit twitched his tail at Kindlekit as she walked up, as if he had beckoned her over... which of course, was not true.



    Rustlekit smiled and nodded at Kindlekit in greeting. "Hello Freedomkit, it's nice to meet you." The red tabby kitten drew his paw in the dirt in front of him, just as Jadekit often did when she was nervous. "It's a real shame for me to admit because you... you are very pretty." He blushed, because his attraction to one of the opposite sex had surprised even him! He recovered and continued, "But you'll have to forgive me as I've only joined WindClan within the last month. My mother dropped me off near the border before I even had a chance to know her."



    The red tabby shifted his weight and drew in the dirt with the other fore paw as he flicked his ear to the grey tabby that had walked up first. "And... what have we here? Another fine maiden?" His blue eyes winked at Jadekit... Rustlekit may grow up to be more flirty than he knows!

    Even though she was a bit tired from the journey, Jadekit sat straight up, with her grey ears and tail perked straight up as well, when the loud red tabby started flirting with her BFF. The usually somewhat reserved Jadekit immediately got to her paws and stalked the few paces over to stand between the red tom and the white she-cat. She was almost growling as she threatened him, "You had better not be flirting with MY friend!" Her tail swished with annoyance as she continued, "It sure seems as if you weren't raised by anybody... In ThunderClan, we have something called manners." Jadekit ended with a squeak and then glared at Kindlekit, daring her to step in and defend her clan mate.



    [[BTW, I don't care how Freedomkit responds. Rustlekit is too young and naive to even understand flirting. But his boldness and chivalry morph into flirtation when he sees a female so stunning as Freedomkit, on accident.]]

    [align=center][xDDD]



    "Oh, hi," Freedomkit meowed, then was taken aback. "Me...pretty?!" She wasn't perplexed or anything, but she felt sort of awkward. She lapped at her chest fur embarassedly, but she stayed with Jadekit, feeling very uncomfortable.


    "Yeah..." she meowed awkwardly. "Thanks for the comment," she said, uncomfortable to say the least. Her cheeks burning, the white kitten looked at Jadekit, "Well, I think I'm going to go get a drink of water," she said excusedly. "Want to come?"

    "Sure, Freedomkit. Let's ditch this show boater." Jadekit replied and turned to walk with her porcelain colored friend as her grey tail flicked dismissively at Rustlekit. "The nerve of some cats...," she muttered to herself.

    Realizing he had made some error, though clueless as to what that error was, Rustlekit changed his demeanor and trotted after the ladies. His red tabby fur was barely moving in the strong breeze, since he had become so accustomed to the high winds here on the plains.



    "Oh, girls, c'mon now. You're heading straight for the windiest place to try to get a drink. If you follow me, I can show you the nice, clean puddle outside the nursery where you can drink without falling in." He chuckled, his red tail slowly swinging in a mischievous, playful way. Rustlekit wasn't one to apologize... not often... but he did like to make amends, if possible. As the she cats looked back over their shoulder, Rustlekit flicked an ear in the opposite direction to ask if they were going to come with him.

    Jadekit's grey paws stopped in mid-walk when she heard the tom-kit chuckle. It... it sounded just like the way she laughed. ... Freaky!



    Having her thoughts jostled by that realization caused her to reconsider spending time with the WindClan kit. It would be a good idea to have an ally in this new place, and... perhaps his rudeness was just because he was trying to hard... Jadekit had often done silly things when she tried to hard, as well. And... well, this was a confusing, strange time for all of them.



    Jadekit's grey tail swung over to Freedomkit's back as she pressed closer and asked just loud enough for only her BFF to hear, "He's offering to help now, which is really what we need... I want to give him another chance. There's... there's something about him that interest me. I mean..." she blushed a bit and continued. "...not in a romantic way, but it feels like I know him! Or like I want to know him as a friend. I promise to protect you, if you'll go with me." She smiled and aimed to turn her fluffy friend around, towards Rustlekit flicking ear.

    Freedomkit paused, looking over her shoulder at the sound of Rustlekit's voice. Rolling her eyes, she looked at him. "Fine." she meowed, realizing that he was trying to make amends. Her eyes narrowed one heartbeat, then opened fully. She'd be watching him.
