"So." Maybe it's the absence of their clanmates, the lack of some of the usual chatter, but Snailpaw's voice feels like it rings through camp with a finality they're not expecting. They're one of the cats that had stayed behind, watching where the group had left for- they're not really sure what they're watching for.

Not that they're watching for anything, now- with the silence that follows, they duck their head down as they turn to look at their clanmates, expression shifting to something a bit more sheepish. "I was just- wondering." They begin, forcing their voice a bit quieter now that they don't have to try so hard to be hard.

"Do you think they're having fun out there?" Snailpaw's tone isn't exactly wistful- more genuinely curious than anything. "What do you think they're talking about?" And then, just like that, it's like a switch is flicked; Snailpaw lets the idea linger before a grin is stretching across their face.

"I think that the Shadowclan medicine cat and the Riverclan deputy are-" Are what? They falter for just a second, mind trying to come up with something.

"I think they're long lost siblings. And one of 'em only found out tonight."

They didn't actually, but what would some harmless gossip hurt?

————————— There might be something outside your window. ✦


Finch was doing what she did best, trying to hide the fact that she was chewing on a mossball. Meadow said it was a bad idea, but her teeth hurt, and her siblings were asleep, and she was soooo bored!!

But Snailpaw started talking from nearby. She looked up with a curious look as she scrunched her nose, trying to spit out the little bits of moss that had gotten caught in her mouth as she padded over, leaving behind the mauled ball of moss. The kitten flopped over next to the apprentice and listened, tail thumping against the ground.

"Uhmm. Maybe they're playing a big game've moss ball!" She squeaked, giggling at the idea of leaders batting around a moss ball between them. "Oooor maybe something boring like picking fleas off each other." Finch stuck out her tongue. She didn't know what grown-ups did, but it wasn't fair that they all got to go to meet other cats and she had to stay home! The kitten had promised not to approach any more big, smelly animals, so it would have been fine.

Snailpaw continued talking, and Finchkit let out a gasp of shock. "You really think so!" She stood up, craning her little head up to look at the apprentice with awe. "That'd be sooo cool to have family in 'nother clan." The tabby giggled, curling her tail around her paws.

She hummed, remembering the clan names and ranks and stuff, sticking her tongue out as she made a guess at what could have happened. "Well, IIII think a Skyclan warrior had a secret kitten an' they saw him for the first time again today- But, but they didn't KNOW that they were a secret Skyclan kitten and live in Thunderclan now!" Finchkit let out a burst of giggles, having no concept of gossip yet she was just having fun playing make believe with silly stories.
