Lil' explorer [OPEN]

Gingerkit outstretched his arms and flexed his claws, unleashing a huge yawn. He looked around the nursery sleepily. He blinked a few times before his eyes adjusted to the light. It was morning, not early morning, but late morning. Gingerkit wondered if everyone else was awake yet but he figured they were since he could hear noises from outside. The young kit stood up and shook out his fur and yawned once more. He was still a little sleepy but he couldn't sleep any more now that he was really awake. He decided he should get up now. Gingerkit's gaze traveled towards the opening of the nursery curiously.

He suddenly had an idea.

But he knew he'd get in trouble if he left without saying anything. Gingerkit stood there, quietly debating on what to do: go back to sleep or go outside. Go outside go outside go outside, his mind told him, then he started to think of all the fun he'd have outside and now the idea seemed much more tempting. At least outside he could chase butterflies and be loud. The nursery was stuffy and cramped and smelled of milk (which, to him, wasn't a bad smell, but you could only tolerate something for so long). Also, outside he could be loud. Sometimes he would be shushed if he was too loud in the nursery. Suddenly, his paws began to move forward before his mind fully made the choice.

Go outside.

He smiled when he felt the sun warm his fur. Gingerkit felt a pang of guilt for leaving without telling his mother, but made himself feel better by telling himself that he would be careful and tell her later. He saw the freshkill pile from the corner of his eye but the elder's den was also tempting. The elders would sometimes tell him stories, stories he loved. He couldn't decide what he should do first-!

Blackkit did not frequently exit the safety of the den - he wasn't quite sure he was ready to observe the other, giant cats as they went about with their business. Not that he wasn't curious, he just... wasn't at that stage yet. Unlike a lot of the other kits, it seemed, who appeared to have a great deal of enthusiasm for what the future could potentially hold for them. The young tom yawned and stretched his paws out, light gaze following the shadows of cats moving within the nursery, and ears listening to the rustling of those passing by outside. As his eyes traced the figures, they landed on one kit in particular who was sneaking toward the den's exit. He couldn't quite make out the expression of the other kit (their back was turned to him), but Blackkit wondered what he was doing.

He wasn't the most social of creatures, so he made no attempt to strike a conversation at first, simply watching and observing as the small paws of the other drifted closer and closer to the exit until the kit's body was no longer within the nursery. Blackkit remained still for a few minutes, waiting to see if they'd re-enter and embrace the comfort of the safe den, but after continuing to watch it did not seem that that would be the case. He exhaled softly, before glancing around and quietly slipping out of the den himself. It was bright out here, and he was reminded again quickly of why he hadn't wanted to come out much before - but he was out now. He glanced around, looking to spot the strange ginger kit, and once he located him the young tom slowly padded over with a curious expression painting his features.

One thing he did forget to do, however, was speak.

The young kit stumbled around the strange forest. Where was she? The last thing she knew was that she was safe in the loners barn but now she was hear. She stopped at the sound of rushing water. The kit found a shallow area and jumped in. There was a quick movement in the shallow waters. It was a fish! She chased it around until it swum away. The mumbling of voices startled her. "Hey!" Said a long haired black tom "where do you come from?"
"oh.. Umm. a barn?" she answered.
"Oh. you are a loner." said a brown and grey she cat. "Lets take her to lionstar" She said turning to the tom cat.
"Ashcloud, Hawkclaw! who is this you've brought me?" Said Lionstar
"She's a loner." Said Hawkclaw
"Look how cute she is! Can we keep her?! Please?" begged Ashcloud "She Wont need milk anymore she's 5 moons old"
Hawkclaw Thought, "Ugh..Why her... Well im going to have to take care of her.."
