What now? ~private~

[Silentpaw]

(Ashkit )

Miatu wasn't quite sure where she belonged here. Or even if she did. Her ears flickered back an forth as she sat silently in a lonesome corner, merely, watching. No cat, or kitten for that matter, saw sense in approaching her. She'd never spoken a word in her life, and those who knew her knew of her as Silentkit. A pitiful name that was. Named particularly to derail her. Just because she had no voice, didn't mean she was an emotionless drone with no real meaning. Did it? To be honest, she only truly knew of what she felt. At least she was open. Her eyes and actions spoke for her, and occasionally her sister. Oh, that's right. She still had yet to find her. It was hard when she asked for someone with a name no-one knew, and couldn't even express it out loud. Who could possibly understand her other than she who birthed her, and she who cared for and grew up alongside her? Oh. Yes. She could think of one, and speak of the devil. What'cha mopin' about now little kitty...?  a rather sardonic voice uttered deep inside her head. She replied via telepathic thought, as her muteness proved no other means of response. 'What is it to you? I thought I was nothing... she thought scathingly. Aww, poor kitty. What's got ya down sweat The young feline twitched her ears irritably. He knew what was wrong. He knew more about it than she herself did. Or at least he understood the strange feelings better. Huffing silently, she twitched her tail and stared hard around the den, trying her best to spot a distraction. She found one quickly, though not what she was hoping for. It was another kitten, clearly with an interest in talking to her. Dont get your whiskers in a bunch my pretty. Just claw the retched creature's face off. Making it scared or angry will guarantee peace and quiet. More time for me to irritate you. She could almost visualise his grinning smirk, twitching whiskers and perked ears in all. If she was going to claw anyone, it would be him. However, she reminded herself. He technically doesn't even exist. In fact, he was a nameless, faceless, sardonic voice with now real purpose but to aggravate her. For now that is. Soon he'd drive her mad. That was his one purpose, if you could even refer to it as such.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit was sitting by herself, waving her black tail through the mountain ground that held her home. She... felt like she was clear-headed now. She could be smart, she could go talk to people... maybe make friends? Not like that last one, she hoped. The she-kit looked around the nursery for someone to talk with, or hang out with, when she saw a gray and brown kit sitting by herself in one corner of the nursery.

Ashkit sucked in a breath, and padded over to Silentkit. "Um... hello there."

[Silentpaw]

Miatu had just managed to shoe the voice away when a fellow kit and denmate approached and stood directly before her. The older kitten straightened herself up right through her spine and bowed her head in greeting, smiling gently at the other kitten. She seemed sort of shy, which was interesting. Miatu knew not to bother giving her name, it would serve no use to force the younger to try and make it out. Instead she focused on allowing herself to relax before signalling for the other to speak, eventually deciding she might as well offer her name. And so, as clearly as possible, she mouthed 'Silentkit' in hopes the other might understand.
