^{Young Grasspaw had been given the task to do a hunting/gathering patrol, which he felt like was a pretty big responsibility. It was his chance to show everyone his only talent wasn't drowning in snow, but he could do other things too! He wasn't all that sure about hunting, he knew some basics, as he had learned some things in his lifetime, but he wasn't sure on some other things, like bigger prey, as he wasn't the largest cat out there. Berries, now that was something that he could do, it didn't seem all that hard.}

^{In his jaws was a handkerchief, which he was going to put berries in. He was sitting at the edge of the camp, his tail swishing about, and his slender frame still. He was waiting to see if anyone wanted to join him in his patrol before he left. He was planning on going out near the edge of the forest areas, and picking some berries from the bushes. If anyone wanted to hunt while he did that, they could feel free, but he would stick with more of the nature job of plants.}

^{Yup, this was Gore alright. Grassy wasn't sure if it was him at first, as the tom was much bulkier with more of a... raw strength appearance. Grasspaw wasn't sure if it was going to get to see Gore again, as they were his first friend, at least what he considered to be a friend. Of course, all his friends seemed to make fun of him in some way, but it different from how others had, like Cherrypaw. Cherry has scared the daylights out of Grassy, probably the only person he feared, to a degree.}

^{The name Gore had called him, that was something he hadn't heard in a while. He had been Grasspaw for probably about two to three months now, so he was used to his newer name. Nine month old Grasspaw smiled, a true genuine small on his maw as he pulled tightly into an embrace. "Well, I can catch you up on my new name!" Grassy said exciedtly. His name wasn't something he had to explain to anyone, so it made him feel a bit giddy inside. "I'm Grasspaw now, Farmer Grasspaw!" he exclaimed eagerly.}

^{His sister... Absinthe... that was Gore's full sister he believed, as he knew Eridanus was his half-sister... which he wondered if that was awkward among the adults, as they all looked about the same age, but Grassy's brain could only progress so much in the 9 months he had been alive, so he was a bit slow on the intake still. He smiled as the younger female, but didn't say anything.}

^{Grassy twitched his ears, not used to any sort of affection from others. He was wondering if he was supposed to know battle moves, as he didn't know any. He would have been lucky if he could scratch someone in self defense. Loey, that was someone he didn't know all that well. Grasspaw of course knew of him, but they were not close in any sort of way. The apprentice didn't understand how the other kits might be judged because of their parentage, it was something that his small brain couldn't handle yet, maybe with time.}

^{The young boy smiled at the pair of siblings. It was nice to be able to hang out with others his age, as he hadn't really spoken to anyone his age besides for Eridanus in a good while, probably because everyone traveled while he just stayed here. "Oh... well, this is for berries," he said a bit embarrassed. "I'm not really a... good hunter or fighter, but I can pick some berries well... I think," he said, as if it was something he should be ashamed of. "I had uh... gotten a weekly task to do hunting and gathering patrol, so I figured I could gather things, and anyone who wanted to join could uh.. pitch in where they wanted to." Grasspaw had planned on laying the handkerchief flat on the ground and put berries on it, then carrying it folding the edges up and carrying it like that.}

^{Grasspaw was older than some of the other children around his age, but he was also a bit more... lacking in smarts than some of them. He didn't understand what drinking was. Of course he could tell whatever it was had a scent to it, but he didn't understand what it exactly was or what it could cause. He was talking an evening walk, it wasn't like there was anyone to stop him from doing what he wanted, so he just did whatever. Young Grassy tilted his head as he noticed Absinthe and the lemon man. He walked up a bit, the ground making a light noise under his paws, and tilted his head in confusion. Are they sick or something? he wondered. He couldn't tell if Absinthe was worried for him or not, he figured they were, but he didn't pick up on all those things anyways. "What's going on?" he mumbled, more to himself that anything else.}

^{This was confusing. Why is he laughing so much? The boy thought to himself. Grassy was not used to seeing the lemon man like this, and didn't understand why he was like this right now. Absinthe seemed to understand more than he did, maybe she was smart or something, as he had no idea what was going on. He didn't understand a lot of what he was saying, like my family, what did that even mean? Grasspaw had a mother and father, even if one was deceased and the other who knows there, and he had siblings too, even though some he hadn't seen since he was a small thing. So, what other type of family was there? Was it like an emotional type thing? He might have to ask a smarter person later what that meant. He heard Absinthe ask the lemon man a question, so he figured it would be better to await an answer then ask anything else.}

^{Grasspaw heard the meeting call... it was strange. Why wasn't the lemon man or unicorn man up there? Was this how it worked, they changed about? He was confused, but wrote it off as just something he didn't really understand due to lack of experience. He did wonder what the meeting today was going to be about though.}

^{Grasspaw looked up and blinked at the older animal, Loey he believed. He didn't understand... wasn't shit a rude word? Why would you say sometime looked like that... it was like saying they looked like poo... wasn't it? "Isn't 'shit' a rude word?" he asked innocently with confusion written on his face. He didn't understand why the lemon man looked like poo either. He looked like a happy lemon, weren't happy lemons a good thing, even tho he sounded a bit sad... but even sad was better than mad, right?}

^{The innocent boy, probably too innocent for his age, saw a crowd. A poisoned... rat?  Why would someone poison a rat? Isn't that painful? he thought to himself. He was glad he wasn't a rat... he could be poisoned if he was a rat... that didn't seem good at all. "Why was the rat poisoned exactly?" he asked with an innocent look of confusion on his face. The grey kitten had sort of asked a similar question, but he didn't get the answer. "Was it sick, why was poison a sickness test? Is that how we are tested to see if we are sick!" he said worriedly. He didn't remember the lemon man or Juba putting poison in him when he wasn't feeling well... some medicine sure.}

^{Grasspaw tilted his head, confusion on his face as he watched someone do... who knows what. He had no idea what they were doing. Of course, being the nosy child he was, he walked straight up to them. "What are you doing?" he asked with an innocent, yet curious tone. He wanted to know, it might be useful one day, you never know.}

^{Grasspaw hadn't ever stargazed before, it never crossed his mind that you could go and look at stars. He knew they were there, just as well as anyone knew, as he had enough of a brain to know that much, even if he wasn't the smartest cat out there. Family wasn't something he tried to let cross his mind all that much either. He didn't want to have to think about his dead mother, or his father he hadn't seen since he was small. "Are you looking at the sky?" he asked curiously. His voice still sounded like an innocent child, but he was already eight months old, only four away from being an adult. he hadn't grown up all the way, his body had. He was tall, and lean, almost a starving like appearance to him, but he ate well, a lot if he had to be honest.}

^{It was raining, droplets falling down and smacking against the ground, creating puddles out and about. He had heard that this weather was normal for spring, it was used to bring life to the plants and other types of nature. Rain was a great thing, but that did not stop Grasspaw from hating it with a passion. When thunder struck it would cause him to shiver, fear in his eyes. He didn't like thunder when he was younger. Light rain, just small drops of rain didn't bother him, it was only storms, the storms when thunder struck and seemed to make everything loud around him. He was outside, he had spent too long away from where he stayed, adventuring in the meadows, and now a storm had started, and he had to make it back. It was a slow moving process, as when he heard thunder he stopped and covered his ears with his paws, like he was hearing something he shouldn't have to. Grassy didn't normally have these sort of reactions, or expressions of pure fear, but thunder was one thing in his nine months of life he had not grown to like. His body was soaked, his thin fur now looking long from the rain dragging it down. It made him look more... feral looking, his eyes wide with fear, his fur messy and soaked. Eventually, the boy decided to stop under the shade of a tree, where it wasn't as wet, and shimmied down into the trunk of it, his paws over his ears. He didn't want to have to walk out in the open anymore, so he just hid, he could wait it out, right?}

^{Grasspaw opened his eyes and released his paws grip around his ears as he heard a voice. It wasn't thunder that now spoke but a different being, the lemon man it was, yes siree! The boy tilted his head, what did getting wet have to do with anything? he wondered. He wasn't afraid of water, which probably would make more sense, cats typically seemed to be against water... but that may not be true, it was in a book he had read... well, somewhat read, he wasn't a very good reader at all. When the sound of thunder echoed in the distance Grasspaw winced, fighting the urge to cover his ears again. He... guessed... the lemon man was right, he shouldn't be out in this weather... imagine if the tree caught on fire from the lightning, that really wouldn't be good. Especially if the boy was in the tree. "O-okay," he said, in a bit of a mumble, but with more of fear than disappointment in it. If I'm not suppose to be here in the rain, is the lemon man supposed to? Maybe it is something I'll learn when I'm an adult, he thought in his small little head. He stood up, his fur still wet and damp, and walked closer to the lemon man.}

^{Grasspaw headed over to get a weekly task, almost tripping on his way there. This was quite the normal accurance, and something he was now adjusted to. "Can I get a task please?" he asked.}

^{Today was a sunny day, the feeling of spring in the air. The trees had begun to get leaves again, and they were green of all things. Green leaves! Grasspaw was quite excited at this discovery. He was born in autumn, and hadn't experienced any seasons except for winter an autumn. When he adventured out a bit, between the forest and the meadows, he saw wildflowers. He had never seen a lot of wildflowers before, except for dandelions that is. A lot of them had died by the time he actually arrived in Wind Haven as a young boy, only three months of age at the time. Even at the ripe age of nine months, the age he was now, these sorts of things were very interesting to him. The first ones that drew his attention looked like little bells, a gorgeous blue color, like a baby blue. Then there were some that had a hood like shape on them. Grassy had never seen such flowers before. There were even some yellow and purple flowers he had passed by in the meadows.}

^{Grasspaw found all the plants around his beautiful and interesting, and wanted to take some home with him, but he didn't have any pots... though he didn't have much of anything. He had a scarf, and there wasn't much else he could call his own. He wondered if a transplant would be safe for these types of plants, but he wasn't sure. Maybe he would ask someone, if he remembered that is. And the bugs, he was curious about those too, why were they on the plants, he didn't understand. Little bees and butterflies, did they like plants too? "Do you like flowers, Mr Bee?" he asked to the small bug on the flower, but all it did was making a buzzing sound before flying off to another flower.}

^{Grasspaw had forgetten he had other family besides for his parents and siblings. We wasn't close to his father, nor had he even seen his father in a long while, and his siblings were a bit closer to each other than anyone else, so it felt weird to try to intrude. The small, round child had grown tall and slender, almost in a underfed sort of way, but he ate a lot, especially for a child only at nine months. He heard someone yelling, not in a scared way, more of how all those people at the border did, which was a good way to get some attention, he assumed.}

^{Grassy headed that way, wanting to know what was going on. Once he arrived he noticed Loey was there, and with the gray kid that was always on his back, is that his kid? he thought to himself. Then his mind wandered away from that as he walked a bit passed them, a familiar face lied ahead, it was long ago, months ago, but he remembered despite not remembering other things.}

^{Grasspaw always like exploring, his 'adventure time' as he called it. This time, he saw a group of people, and that made him curious, so he just had to find out what was happening. He trotted over, looking around the adults, before walking past to get a better look. "What's happening, is something interesting happening?" he said with his usual innocent tone, but also with excitement mixed in.}
