you're clawing at the corner of my heart [c]

Out of all of WindClan's newest kits Cloudypetal had met, there was one that was the most strikingly unique from all of the others: Gentlekit. He was extremely reserved, anxious and he spoke in a whisper. It made her heart warm, reminding her of herself as a kit. She remembered how kind Tigerstar and Sootstorm had been to her and Galekit back then, and she knew immediately what she had to do.

Approaching the nursery with a freshly killed mouse in tow, she ducked her head into the cozy den. "Gentlekit," She called softly, her voice as gentle as the winter breeze. "would you like to share a meal with me?"

Just past sunhigh, when Gentlekit was winding down from playing with the other kits, they got a visitor. One of the warriors from our clan, Cloudypetal, was here with freshkill. He picked up on the smell of freshly killed mouse. He didn't think it was for him, and when she asked him to share the meal his tail flicked excitedly.

"Yes I would, but why do you want to share it with me?" He asked curiously. Gentlekit hasn't gotten around much to meeting any of the warriors, but he was excited to try freshkill for the first time. When my mom wakes up, I'll have so much to tell her about.

As Gentlekit's eyes lit up with a mixture of curiosity and excitement, she couldn't help but smile wide. She released a soft laugh as he questioned her motives, being taken off-guard. Cloudypetal joined him under the protective shelter of the gorse wall, settling down near him - the freshly killed mouse placed between them.

"Well, Gentlekit..." She began, her gaze softening. "You remind me of myself a lot, especially as a kit. When I was young, Tigerstar and Sootstorm were there for me. I want to be that for you, too."

She nudged the mouse towards him, encouraging him to take the first bite. "WindClan, is - well - a large family. We look out for each other." Her voice dropped to a whisper, and she dramatically looked around for other cats before continuing.  "...Plus, I heard that freshkill tastes even better when you share it with a friend."
