Hazykit slips out of the nursery, pale eyes fluttering towards the sky. It's difficult to discern the stars, even as the trees loose their leaves onto the ground, but tonight it's... easier. Strangely so. The stars seem to float not just beneath the treelimbs but... in camp, in slow blinking fashions. The mottled girl lets the surprise and confusion into her usually dull expression, ears perking as she steps further into the swath of stars.

One lands on her nose, and she notes with a quiet tone, "The stars have... wings?" How peculiar. Perhaps that's how they stay afloat in the night's blanket.

Echokit lazily meanders around the edge of the nursery, choosing to take a stroll after he had woken up a bit earlier from a nap than he would have preferred.
"Hm?"
He raises a brow towards the entrance as there seemed to be something of vague interest out there. It didn't sound like a big deal since there wasn't some sort of commotion like the last few times. Probably for the best, he could do without some drama for a good while.

Wandering outside, Echokit notices the lights, the bugs- in fact these lights were bugs! He had heard of these before, he didn't recall their names exactly, and he thought they were rather rare!

"Huh..."
Echokit's own usually sour and annoyed expression was replaced with quiet contentment and wonder for once.
"Cool."
He sniffed at these strange luminous things until he heard Hazykit's voice speak of the stars having wings.
"What? Nuh-uh, they might look like it but these aren't stars they're-"


chomp

Echokit had accidentally bitten on one that flitted past his muzzle. He uncomfortably spits it out and it plops onto the ground as he shudders at the taste.
"Bugs... They're bugs."
Not the most pleasant thing to eat, either.



YOU PESTS WERE GIFTED FREE MINDS, BUT NO...
IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH
 






Fawnkit follows soon after her sister, curious at what she has discovered. It sounds like Hazykit is fascinated by something and Fawnkit needs to see for herself!

Her eyes widen as she spots the lights dancing in front of the nursery - she doesn't care if they're just bugs, they intrigue her nonetheless, the flicking lights turning on and off grabbing all her attention. She doesn't even realise it and she's pouncing after them, attempting to catch them. Though, mainly, she's falling back on the ground empty-pawed. She doesn't mind since she's having fun anyway.

"Hazykit!" she laughs, looking at her sister. "There's so many! How many do you think we can catch?" Just as Fawnkit says this, one of the bugs lands on a blade of grass in front of her and Fawnkit pounces at it. It lights up beneath her paws and when she lets go, flies away once again towards the night sky.





 

The one on her nose floats away as she's joined by others. Her gaze remains almost-bright as she watches Fawnkit chase after the little stars, energetic despite the time of day. Hazykit partially smiles, though she loses it when Echokit begins to correct her... only to regain it when one of the bugs lands in his mouth mid-speech. She laughs, a bell-like noise, and says, "Oh... I bet you wish they were stars." At best it's playful teasing, at worst she is mocking the misfortune the kit keeps having. In any case, Fawnkit does well to redirect her attention.

"How many..." she tries to gauge how many even exist in camp right now. It's difficult, as they flutter and blink endlessly. For the few seconds she tries, Hazykit believes that she's must've counted the same bug thrice over, even. She looks back to her littermate, "First to ten gets a pigeon for breakfast...!" The young girl goads, knowing her sister's affinity towards the bird.

Victorykit had fallen asleep in camp in camp while trying to eavesdrop on some warriors. They hadn't been talking about anything especially... interesting, but one never knew! She hadn't even realized she fell asleep until she was startled awake by voices nearby, the sun no longer in the sky. Blinking her eyes open, she tried to clear her bleary eyes, but they couldn't seem to focus. She thought she saw lights floating around camp. She blinked again, hard, but they were still there. Before she can panic, however, she catches Echokit correcting Hazykit on what the lights were. She turned her attention to them just in time to watch her brother spit out one of the glowing things with a disgusted expression. She can't help herself, she laughed aloud.

Certain, finally, that she wasn't seeing things, she bounded towards where the other kits are gathering just in time to hear Hazykit propose a challenge her sister.
"Ten? Easy!"
Victorykit declared with a grin, eyes narrowed in determination. She couldn't pass up an opportunity to show off for the warriors - and the other kits.

Turning, she tried to track the movement of the weird glowing bugs. She watched intently as one fluttered slowly past her face, making a slow descent to the earth. She got low to the ground, wriggling her haunches excitedly until finally she pounced, lashing out with one paw to knock it from the air and drag it down under her waiting paws. She landed heavily, then lifted a paw to examine her catch. She recoiled upon discovering not a bug, but a smear of glowing guts across her pawpads.
"Oh..."
she frowned, ears flattening to her head. Instinctively, she peered around for her parents, waiting for them to scold her for her recklessness. With a pang of regret, then relief, she remembers that they're gone.


you better knock me out the first time

Fawnkit's eyes widen at Hazykit's competition. Pigeon for breakfast? Well now she has to win!!!

She has already caught one before, so now she only needs to catch nine more. "Alright, Hazykit!" she exclaims determined. She crouches and watches the bugs with focused eyes, though the flickering lights start to make her head dizzy, the pressure of competition making her too careful. Instead of jumping around and catching them, even on accident, Fawnkit is frozen to the ground, attempting to focus on one particular bug. Which, of course, proves impossible with them flicking off and then appearing elsewhere.

Frustrated, she lashes her tail and bats at the air in front of her - only to be met with a little something crashing against her paw. She looks at what it could be and sure enough, now that she has stopped trying, she had caught one, and by accident! "That makes two!" she giggles, cheerful yet again.
