Torrent's oversized kit paws trotted across the littered sand, his tiny tail swaying happily in the air above him. He knew Pine didn't want him to go far from their makeshift den, but the little tom was growing restless. How could he expect him to stay in the same place for that long? Besides, he yearned to see the look on Pine and Squid's faces if he managed to bring back a giant fish. Torrent bounced delightedly at the thought, letting out a short mew of excitement.

Slowing his pace, Torrent suddenly began sniffing the air as the strong scent of fish washed over him. Forgetting that this was the exact scenario that led the hungry dog to him days prior, he followed after the scent, swiping his tongue around his muzzle. The rustling of multiple tufts of tall grass caught his attention, causing Torrent to pick up the pace, sending tiny bits of sand flying from underneath his paws. Skidding to a halt as he reached the rustling patch, Torrent shoved his head through the strands, followed by his uncoordinated pawsteps.

As soon as he shook the grass away from his eyes, they widened, his green gaze glittering with surprise at the sight. "Woah!" Torrent exclaimed, a sharp laugh following his mew.

A small, white and blue kitten with flowing fur crouched before him, but at his paws lay a fish three times it's size. It seemed to be inspecting the fish rather than eating it, and Torrent wondered if he had caught it himself. Pushing the rest of his body through the grass, he danced around the other kit, brimming with utter excitement and disbelief. "Did you catch this thing?" He asked, trying to catch the other tom's eye with his own friendly gaze. He held his head tilted to the side, casting a shadow over the other's face as the sun shone around his little body.

—————————————————— Rocked by an endless motion ✦

Gale had a tendency to find things before his sisters did. Perhaps that came with the territory, what with himself boldly slipping away from the others. They seemed more than happy to muck about together, go on adventures together... but he couldn't seem to derive the same enjoyment. No, his enjoyment came from watching from afar. It had been occupying the time by eyeing the twolegs they seemed to coexist with, but he strictly refused to interact with anything more than glances. He would much rather watch, and watch he did—but he couldn't help but react with surprise when he found a discarded fish, likely by one of the many twolegs that frequented the area. It seemed fresh, but Gale was far more interested in prodding it than gnawing on it.

He should have expected the company, really. The fish smelled very, very strong, to the point he nearly wrinkled his little nose in dislike when he had stumbled upon it. It wasn't an unpleasant scent by any means, it was just... overwhelming. The strength had seemed to waft, calling other bodies towards him, and now he seemed to be faced with one. His mother had always told him to not interact with any other strange cats, but the tom didn't run off. No, he simply looked away from the other quickly as the other circled, as though he could just ignore them and they'd leave. That is, until the other tom spoke.

"I-" For a moment, the small thing considered lying. The notion was appealing, being able to declare himself as great a thing as that... but he decided against it in the end, and so it instead looked sheepishly at its own paws. "No... No, I did not..." He muttered truthfully, as though Gale felt bad about it. It only made sense, really. The fish was truly massive—a gristly, thickly-scaled thing, with huge snapping jaws and wide eyes. It looked as though it could dart through the water without a second thought ... if it were still alive, that is. "I did find it, though." He claimed after a moment, giving himself a self-satisfied little nod. "Yes, I did do that." As the other tried to catch his gaze, though, he found himself shrinking once more. The other was darkly-furred, stout as could be, and seemed to tower... At least, that's what he thought at first. The shadow that was cast over him gave that sort of impression, but he couldn't quite stare into the other's facial area long enough to deduce just how tall he actually was.

Quietly, absentmindedly, the tom reached back out to the heavily scaled fish. He had tried to take a bite, but really the scales were... thick, coarse and rough on his teeth in a way he didn't particularly care for. His mother had given him fish before, but by the time he got his claws on them, the skin had usually been torn off by his siblings. This... this was a new predicament he wasn't used to. "It's... very tough." He said finally, looking in disappointment at the long-dead thing. "Strangely so... I do not like it."

Finally, with incredible effort, the small kit looked up at the other. His vibrantly blue eyes shone, not unlike the light that dances on the pools of water that they all gathered about. They were searching, staring, understanding, even if the little thing had yet to have the proper words to express it. "...Do you?" It questioned, mimicking the other's curiously tilted head.
