Camp WC refresh my memory // dream

[Ravenmask]

Ravenmask had been working himself a bit more ragged during the rebuilding of the camp. He couldn't help it - he felt guilty laying about while the rest of the Clan worked so hard to find prey, herbs, and other supplies. He felt that need to prove his worth, despite the pain in his back leg.

Today, things were a bit quieter around the camp, and it seemed there were no immediate tasks at paw. Ravenmask stretched out in his nest, grimacing as his leg ached. He hadn't been very good at keeping up with his exercises either, and he was sure to get a mouthful from Dimmingsun and Meadowpaw soon enough. He flexed his leg slowly, rotating it in the moss, breathing a sigh of relief as a little bit of the ache vanished.

He really needed to get better at remembering to do those.

"I'm going to hunt with Dad, okay? Why don't you sit with Uncle Ravenmask, okay? I'm sure he'll tell you a good story." Vixenberry approached, Dreamkit in tow, and Ravenmask purred a greeting to his nephew.

"Of course I'll keep ya company, Dreamkit," he mewed. "Why dontcha settle in and tell me what kinda story ya wanna hear?"

Dreamkit blinked up at his uncle, sleep seemed to still be clinging to the kit's eyes as he let out a pitiful yawn. His eyes were so striking, the sharp contrast of pink against his light fur. His parents had been startled by it at his birth, but other cats had strange eyes too --- like Sablestar of Shadowclan. Sometimes Mallowfeather would tell his brother he swore he saw stars in his kit's eyes, but Ravenmask wondered if it was the jitters of being a parent playing tricks on his eyes.

Dreamkit nestled close to his uncle, eyes narrowing in a sleepy stupor. He certainly didn't need to be told twice, he was always happy when his parents went hunting together --- gave him more time to relax and focus on his dreams. His eyes looked up at his uncle.

"What was stuff like when-" He was cut off by a quiet yawn, paws stretching and pushing against Ravenmask's soft underbelly. "When you were my age?" He meowed, curious. He was a thoughtful tom when he tried to be, but he knew hearing a painted story about a world he could not experience would fuel his dreams even further.

Ravenmask shifted so the little tom could snuggle against his belly, and he began to purr, no doubt sending the vibrations through his companion.

"Let's see... my age, huh? Well, that'd be far before your pa was born, back when I was livin' in Twolegplace. That was many, many moons ago," he chuckled.

"Ma and I lived in a little Twoleg nest - Pa was just across the fence, and our Twolegs were a bit surprised about me arrivin'! They were pretty good Twolegs though, while we had them." He let himself think back, so many moons ago that it'd be a surprise if he remembered all that much.

"Ma and Pa named me Ray, originally. That's what our Twoleg called me, apparently. And when I was your age... oh, I was a troublemaker, Dreamkit. Always tryin' to get into Twoleg food - not the stuff they feed kittypets, but the stuff they keep for themselves. I'd sneak into their hiding spaces and tear open the pelts covering their food. Not all of it was good, and they shouted at me a few times, but they were still kind and gave me lots of cuddles after."

"How old are ya now, Dreamkit, four moons? Let's see, it woulda been newleaf then... oh!" He chuckled as the memory came to him.

"First time I met Pa that wasn't through a window- the Twolegs let me out into their garden. Pa and Ma were chatting and I decided to practice my climbin' skills - there was plenty of stuff in the nest to climb on, but I wanted to go higher, y'see." He paused, looking to Dreamkit to ensure the kit was still listening.
