One thing that Thornkit could remain certain of in uncertain times was his own appearance. Regardless of his insecurities regarding how dissimilar he looked when put next to Falsekit and Faithkit, he was never unsure of the fact that he was interesting to look at, with the way the darkness of his front drifted into eye-catching red down his haunches and tail. He looked cool, and he thought himself as having a discerning eye in general; he could mark Faithkit as having beautiful markings and coloring - the markings almost matching his, something that she and he shared that Falsekit didn't - and though Falsekit wasn't as visually appealing, they were nothing to brush aside. Thornkit could appreciate looking good, and good looking others.
Serpentberry, for all her other faults, was a beautiful cat, and she knew it - the way she kept herself well-groomed and presentable, her coat shining under sun and stars, gleaning attention off of anyone and everyone she could. In a way, he could admire that about her, could strive to hold himself with that same confidence, if not grace. Even at his age, he was far too rough around the edges to be silk as she was, but he could be diamond instead. The medicine cat's beauty had transferred to the majority of her children, too; Rattlepaw's mystifying split pelt and even Leafpaw's muddied browns held their appeal. But the last one, Thistlepaw...
Sitting on the fringes of the medicine cats' den, Thornkit eyed the plain, silver-colored tabby as they entered camp from some apprentice excursion that was moons out of Thornkit's own grasp. Thornkit hadn't known Serpentberry's late mate and the father of her kits, so perhaps he was as boring to lay eyes on as his child, but he'd never know. Thornkit continued to watch Thistlepaw from a distance, though as the apprentice moved towards the medicine cats' den, Thornkit grew suspicious and narrowed his eyes. By the time Thistlepaw had come what Thornkit deemed close enough, the kit puffed out his fur in what was meant to be a threatening display.
"If you're looking for your mother, she's not here." He huffed, at least sparing them the typical aggression he unleashed on the rest of the Clan. As with Rattlepaw, Thornkit had decided that giving Serpentberry's kits the same grace he gave her would keep him in good standing.
