So I hold my head up and hide my cries (open)

[Deleted]

Sorrelkit sat in a corner, her head tipped slightly down as she looked around the den, her eyes the only things moving. She clinched back as one kit looked in her general direction, but said nothing. She hated how many other kits were around. So many unfamiliar faces... She didn't know a single one. And was it just her or was the room getting tighter? She held herself in the same position, barely not running out of the den screaming. There were to many strangers. And not one would ever become her friend. She licked her paw casually and wiped away the single tear that fell from her eye.

Ara padded up to the small scrap of fur that appeared to be crying in the corner of the nursery. Likely throwing a pity party for herself. she thought with a chuckle. Although who could blame her? Being a newborn kit can be tough. I'd better make an effort to be friendly, at least. Keeping the whole concept of "being nice" in mind, she padded over to the little thing, "Why, hello there? What's the matter?" asked Ara.

Sorrelkit flinched away as an older kit approached her. Her eyes were wide as she attempted to squeeze back further into the corner. "Nothing, I'm fine." She said faintly, trying to hold back a small growl.

[Arêteblood]

Ara chuckled. "Well well well, you're a shy one, aren't you? I'm Arêtekit, but you can call me Ara. Everyone does. My name is kind of hard to pronounce." She admitted sheepishly. "What's your name?" She asked, hoping to get a reply out of this shy little kit.

[Deleted]

"Aretekit... No... Arêtekit?" She mumbled under her breath, pronouncing the name and forgetting the question for a while. She did however remember after a few minutes and replied, "I-I'm Sorrelkit."

[Arêteblood]

She smiled. "Sorrelkit. That's a pretty name. And much easier to pronounce then mine." she admitted with a chuckle. She wondered weather she would become friends with this kit. They were getting close to the same age. Maybe they'd train together as apprentices.

[Deleted]

(How to you get close to the same age?)
Sorrelkit nodded grimly,but didn't reply. She found herself back in her own head, observing the other kits nonchalantly. There were so few warriors these days that she'd probably have to have a mentor with two apprentices...

[Arêteblood]

(You post too much lol that's how)

Aretekit sat awkwardly as the kit was quiet, and didn't respond to anything she said. "So..." she said, thinking for a moment. "You'll probably be a warrior before you know it. Who do you want to be your mentor?" she asked.

[Deleted]

"I-I don't know. Your the first cat I've ever talked to."

[Arêteblood]

"Am I now?" She mused. Well, that was a first. She flashed the kit a wicked grin. "So, I guess that makes me a celebrity, eh?" She asked with a laugh. She knew so many kits, it was sometimes hard to keep count. TreeClan always seemed to have the most cats out of all the clans.

[Deleted]

(You don't know any information on other clans yet LOL)
Sorrelkit laughed. "Yeah, no. The celebrity will be whoever acctually gets me to trust them." She said. There seemed so few kits in this clan as compared to the others, and every one of the cats, kits, apprentices, and warriors alike, all seemed so daunting.

[Arêteblood]

Well, this kit just seemed tone further emphasizing her shyness. Ara scoffed. "Trust? Good luck with that. Trust must be earned in our world, as it doesn't come easy." She said.

[Deleted]

Sorrelkit scoffed. "Trust is never earned. Look around you. Just like any other cat, I bet your blind to it. There is not trust, just an illusion. Individual cats arent loyal. Give them a few moons, they'll easily betray you. Scarely anyone in this clan trusts an individual cat. They just trust the clan all together, but otherwise it's just an illusion."

[Arêteblood]

Arete laughed. "Well, if that's your view on life, then so be it. Just know that not all of us think that way." Ara was getting fed up with this cat. She wasn't very interesting, and Ara was just about done with this conversation. She started to turn and walk away, and wondered if the other cat would try and stop her.

[Deleted]

Sorrelkit let Arêtekit walk away. She didn't really wish to speak with anybody right now anyway. Besides, mabey, just mabey, she wouldn't come back. Sorrelkit herself chose to respond and walked to another corner to huddle up in.
