Territory WindClan field finds // meadow

" Right, okay! " Cricketkit called out, tapping her paw twice on the ground beside the symbol she'd carefully drawn, a swirling spiral, fluid and neat. " This one means shinies! " she declared with all the seriousness she could muster, eye wide as she looked up at Meadowpaw. " If you find a shiny, you put this symbol down so the other knows where to look! That way, no shiny gets left behind! " Without missing a beat, she scooted over to another spot and stuck out her tongue slightly in concentration, carefully sketching out a soft, star-like shape with her paw.

" This one... " she said more quietly. " This is for when you miss someone, but it hurts too much to talk about it. You just draw this, and it means you're thinking of them. " She tapped it twice, then pointed up to the sky. " We know they're up there... but the missing still hurts sometimes. " She bounced up, tail flicking, and pounced toward a new patch of ground, bum high as she drew a bright, round sun with gentle rays extending outward. " And this! " she grinned. " This means protection. If you need comfort or to feel safe, you draw this and I'll come sit with you. No questions, just cuddles. It means you're not alone. "

With a little nod, she padded back to Meadowpaw's side and plopped down beside her, fluffy tail curling neatly around her paws. " It's our secret sister code! " she beamed proudly, leaning against Meadow with a spark in her eye. " I've got more if you wanna know them... I had to think really hard to come up with just the right ones! "
