AMETHYSTKIT ๋࣭ ⭑✶⋆.˚ Light summer breeze don't cost nothing

meow

Amethystkit's belly rumbled in hunger. Sometimes the emptiness in his stomach felt unbearable, other times it eased, despite not having eaten much. It was strange, but Amethystkit wasn't one to question it if it meant he no longer starved for a while.

Being one of the oldest in the nursery, besides the caregivers of course, made Amethystkit feel like he needed to protect the younger residents from all harm. He had no siblings of his own, nor family other than Mama who had found him when he was too small to remember anything. Yet, more often than ever, he felt loved, surrounded by those who cared about him. Especially now, with food more scarce than ever - there was always someone making sure he had something to eat, even if it wasn't much. In return, he wanted to help those younger than himself - even if it was with nothing but a distraction. A game, perhaps.

"Hey, Amberkit." he approached the younger kitten. "Wanna help me convince your siblings and the other kittens to play a game with us?"

Amethystkit's imagination ran wild and he hoped the younger kittens would enjoy what he had to offer. "We are safe now, standing in the nest. But watch out! The floor is brambles!" he gestured dramatically, appearing terrified of the ground. "Don't step on it, or you'll get thorns stuck in your pawpads and scratches all over yout pelt. We can only move around by jumping from nest to nest." Only then did Amethystkit realise that a game like this might cause more mess than good. Quick, how to save this? "But remember to be gentle... if we make a mess, there won't be enough nests to protect us from the brambles."

Strong. Be strong, even stronger than before. It was a promise, and one that Amberkit took seriously despite her age. Even after harsh loss recently, she had this oath. One of the many ways she understood from the concept of 'being strong' as described by her parents was being able to do anything, being able to put their best paw forward, to provide for others. So, Amberkit would continue this, even with food at such a scarcity, even when much of it was given to her and the other kits, she wanted to give back.

Whenever Stoatstream needed help with Timberfrost, Amberkit tried to butt in and help with as much eagerness as she could muster. Whenever there was a mess in the nursery or the camp where she was allowed to go, Amberkit would try to help tidy it up. Whenever a smaller kit needed more food, she gave them some of hers whenever her mother wasn't looking in case Amberkit was to be told off for doing that-- and this was partly because she was a little bit mischievous too.

Mischief went paw in paw with play too, and being able to find joy despite loss and sadness was something Amberkit also saw as strong, but this was something she learned for herself rather than any of her parents telling her.

So, when Amethystkit wandered over and suggested a game be played, Amberkit's eyes lit up. "A game? I'll play!" She looked over to others in the nursery, especially her siblings should they be present- each and every one of them, quirks and all, she did love them. "We can try, maybe they'll play." If nothing else, seeing this game as a contest might get some of them involved. "Ooo, ground is brambles.." Amberkit nodded in consideration and thought through the rules. What an imaginative game! "Oh, and no breaking stuff to cheat and walk around on it either, wouldn't be fun."

‎

No you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can, Yes, I can!

Anything you can be, I can be greater.

𓆣𓆣 The older kits' version of play confuses Goldenrodkit. What is so fun about pretending things aren't as they are? The world around them is interesting enough without acting as though brambles coat the floor of the nursery beneath them. However… they do have to admit that the game Amethystkit suggests might be fun. It sounds like it will take a lot of leaping and jumping to avoid breaking the rules of the game and stepping on the made-up brambles. Their eyes narrow and they look between the two other kits, trying to gauge how serious the duo is about their game.

After a moment, the tortoiseshell stands up. "Hm," they hum in their typical rasped tone, curiosity shining clearly in their expression. Their muzzle turns downward into a frown, trying to imagine a bed of brambles spread out across the ground before them. They could simply walk across to where Amethystkit and Amberkit are, but Goldenrodkit would rather avoid getting thorns stuck throughout their fur and in their paws—their mother would probably hate having to clean it all out afterward. So instead the kit drops into a careful crouch, limbs wobbling unsteadily as they gather their haunches beneath them and prepare to take a leap. When they finally make the jump to one of the other nearby nests, the kit is unable to stop themself from tumbling headfirst into the empty nest, ending up lying on their back within the soft moss. From their position they can only blink owlishly up at the ceiling of the den, hoping that they haven't just made a mistake.
