[Leafkit]

im surrounded by the souls of those i've lost

Leafkit was once again shooed out of the medicine cat den, apparently one of the warriors did something stupid and his constant pestering and prodding about was unwelcome; it wasn't often he was sent to play during his mother's work, usually only after a few tails had been nibbled and he'd put something in his mouth after being told explicitly twice not to do exactly that - Serpentberry was alarmingly patient, something he would either come to loathe or delight in as he got older. The tortie kitten waddled along in search of something new to entertain himself with when he spotted the lanky gray and white tom sitting nearby in the camp: Leafkit wasn't sure what Dustrunner was doing, maybe he was thinking about something real hard or wondering which bit of prey he wanted from the pile, but Leafkit also didn't care - his presence was immediate and sudden as he ambled over and plopped himself down right next to the other with his olive green eyes wide and head tilted directly up.

"Dustrunner is a cool name, I hope I get a cool name when I'm a warrior, but why are you running-why'd Juniperstar pick that one? Is it cause you're fast? Do the stripes make you fast? I heard cats with a lot of stripes run quicker than cats that only got a few or none stripes, I got big spots so I 'unno." He took a deep breath, cheeks puffing out before immediately launching back into it, "You got leggy stripes like my papa did, mama says Thistlekit got all his stripes as a gift but I got his ch-chu-charmin' personal...itty, whatever that means. Did ya always have the stripes? Thistlekit's didn't show up for a bit when we was littler, he was all gray and didn't have his spots either. I had all my spots though-I got at least a hund'ed of them."

[Dustrunner]

I WILL TRAVEL FAR BEYOND THE PATH OF REASON

——————————​

Dustrunner flopped down into a sit with a little "Harumph" of effort, happy to be off of his paws for a moment while he thought about how to spend the rest of his day. Hunting, exploring, sparring, there was going to be something interesting for him to do that was for sure. Hell, maybe he'd even find something interesting out in the territory to poke his nose into, or some far flung opportunity at adventure would come calling. Wouldn't that be something! These thoughts of adventure and excitement had led his mind to wander off into its own little world, which is how Leafkit found him. He startled, jumping ever so slightly as Leafkit plopped himself down beside him and peered at him with wide green eyes. He didn't have a chance to say anything before the questions started. If annoyance was expected, it certainly wasn't the reaction Leafkit got as his questions were listened to with an obviously growing excitement. Dustrunner opened his mouth to speak as the lad took a breath, but simply chuckled as he continued.

When the opportunity presented itself, he broke in with a "Well I certainly think my name is cool. I'm glad you do too." He grinned, "I bet I'm one of the fastest in the clan! I dunno if it's the stripes, but when you're older we can race and see what's faster, stripes or spots! I bet you'll be quick on your feet too Leafkit." He's humored by the kit's questions, and can't help but feel a familiar ache in his chest. One that's always paired with the hope that, someday, he'll be able to have a family of his own. For now though, he's more than happy to entertain the kits of the clan when he can.

"Well I certainly agree with your mama there kiddo. You're a downright delight to talk to." He gave the kid a genuine smile. "Who knows, maybe one day you'll be a leader too, if you want to be. You can be anything you want y'know! But hey to answer your other question, I had all of my stripes when I was born. The little spotty ones on my legs were faint at first, but got darker with time. Think my gray's getting darker too actually. Huh. Hadn't really noticed that! I think your spots are pretty cool, look at how many colors you get to be. Have y'got a favorite one of your spots? This here's my favorite stripe." Dusty twisted around to point at the odd cream stripe on his hips before whispering with a wink, "Preeetty sure this is the one that makes me so fast."

[THUNDERFLASH]

Thunderflash, if he could help it, made an effort to keep an eye on Serpentberry's young. She was only once cat, and while there was other caretakers, (Palefern was really the only one without extraneous responsibilities, like their medicine cat or leader,) he knew they all could use an extra paw. Besides, Palefern was probably busy keeping an eye on her little ones, and Thunderflash was in between patrols, so seeing Leafkit pop out of the medicine den had him straightening up. He doesn't immediately see the kit head towards him, no, the younger's muzzle is pointed towards.. Dustrunner, looks like. For a moment he relaxes back into where he was laying, a paw reaching up to itch at his mane.

The babbling isn't missed from here, and Thunderflash is amused at the thought of Dustrunner having to keep up, but the discussion of who was faster has his ears perking. Baby blues blinked once before he pushed to his paws, making his way over with a coy grin on his face. "Now now, wasn't i' tha' th' great beasts of ol' were quickest with spots?" Thunderflash hums aloud, coming to stand not far from Leafkit. He nudges the kit gently with his tail in means of greeting, glancing towards Dustrunner. "I heard th' ones with stripes were supposed t' be the strongest." He grins gently at the thought, considering between the three of them.. well, he was coated in stripes.
