A Sticky Thorn // P

[Deleted]

((Thornwatcher))

Honeykit padded around the nursery, completely bored out of her mind. She sighed and sat down with a thud. She then turned her gaze onto her pure white paws. She thought of mud and shivered.

Something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. Her head shot up, and her quick eyes found a butterfly fluttering outside. Honeykit jumped up and creeped out the nursery with natural skill. Her pawsteps were swift, and she moved fluidly. She moved forward in the slight crouch with speed. When she was close, her gait changed and she creeped forward with her front paws, then lifted her butt into the air and moved her back feet to the side and brought them closer to her front paws.

Once Honeykit was underneath the poor butterfly, she narrowed her eyes and wiggled her rum. The butterfly casually flew overhead, it shiny, fluttering, blue wings catching the sun. A wing angled slightly in the right direction, catching the sun and flinging it in Honeykit's eyes. She, with confusion, sat straight up and scrunched up her nose and eyes, then shook her head some. Finally, she frowned and looked back up. The butterfly had gone out of her reach, and she watched, irritated, as it flapped away. She sat down in the middle of the camp and directed her gaze to the side, flicking her ears. She sighed again.

Having stretched and come out of the warriors den Thornwatcher watches (haha see waht I did there) as a kitten bounces around and tries to trap a butter fly. He watches and snorts as the kit fails.

Making his way over to her he says "I see that the butterfly has eluded you, they are most antagonizing creatures are they not?"

[Deleted]

Honeykit jumped, not noticing as a warrior padded out to her. She turned her head to see who had spoken. Suddenly, as she saw he was a warrior, she felt less annoyed and more, well, afraid. She shrunk back a bit, before responding in her quiet, light voice, "Indeed... th-they are."

Her ears flicked around as she watched him with wide eyes. He was so calm, and she, so tense.

[Thornwatcher]

Thornwatcher smiles at the young cat, her muscles taut and her eyes flickign around nerveously, "Relax, I don't bite... unless you are a small kit, in which case you better run." With a smile on his face he swipes a paw about seven inches over her head in a joking manner. "But really, my name is Thornwatcher, what's yours?"

[Deleted]

Honeykit slightly relaxed as he smiled and told her to relax, but as he said that he would bite if she was a small kit, she tensed again. Then he swiped a paw at her. Even tough it wasn't going to hit her, she quickly ducked and gave a slight glance of annoyance. She shook herself, then, still a bit tight, she sat down again and tried to speak normal, but she evaded his eyes.

Honeykit spoke softly, "I'm Honeykit."

[Thornwatcher]

He tilts his head to try and get a look at her face, "that's a nice name. Honeykit." He jokengly adds "When I got my warrior name I was really confused bacause I had never heard anybody with 'watcher' as the last part of their name. My friend teased me that I was always 'watching' nothing He is quite annoying"

[Deleted]

Honeykit finally lifted her gaze to look into his eyes. She also hadn't heard anyone with the name 'watcher,' but she hadn't been around long enough to know much. "I like your name, I think its super unique and cool." Personally, Honeykit had only met two cats. Her mother and this warrior. She both thought they had cool names. Other than these two, she knew no one else.

She shifted a paw and blurted quite plainly, "I have no friends to make fun of me." Her gaze had dropped, and she lifted it up again.

[Thornwatcher]

He nods "Thank you, I now call my friend 'Leaf-nose, and then his mate found out and I think that, they had a funny talk about that!"

When she blurts out that she does not have friends he snorts "Oh really! Who have you met other than me? Your mother, most likely, you probaly ran into a few other kits so I don't think that you can say you don't have friends when you have not met many cats! And besides" He lowers his voice so that it's softer "You seem very likable, so don't worry about 'friends'"

[Deleted]

Honeykit smiled a bit at what he said, but she was thinking, I really haven't ran into other kits. He made it seem as if that was strange. She was suddenly worried. She was antisocial, at least she didn't view herself that way, but maybe she was. Then, a comment broke through her thoughts.

You seem very likeable...

Honeykit stopped thinking and looked into his towering face. She gave a big smile, which was pretty small, compared to other kits. At least she knew that she was enjoyable, or likeable, and so she could make good friends.

[Thornwatcher]

Thornwatcher laughs as she smiles and he says "There you go" He licks his paw causualy and brings it back over his ear to clean dirt off his head

[Deleted]

Honeykit watched as he cleaned his head. She had never actually cleaned herself, since she was used to her mother doing it for her. She looked down at a paw, and saw a bug crawling along the ground. She sprang into action.

First, she jumped up and threw her rum in the air with her nose touching the ground, right behind the bug. She never actually wanted to kill the bugs she played with, she wasn't that cruel. But as she was watching it, she suddenly felt a bit silly and looked up at Thornwatcher with her eyes. She gave a smile.

[Thornwatcher]

Snorting with laughter thornwatcher looks at the bug and places his paw gently on top of it. Ho motions with his head for her to take it from him

[Deleted]

Honeykit gently reached out with her nose to poke at the bug as it crawled onto her face.She looked cross-eyes at it, then sneezed, flinging it into the air. She watched as it flew away, then started giggling in her sweet manner. She turned her shining eyes back to the tom, full of joy.

She didn't know what else to do, really. He was a warrior, and she was yet a small kit. She decided to give a swat at his paw to see what he would do.

[Thornwatcher]

Laughing at the kit as she goes cross-eyed and sneezes, Thornwatcher says "Carefull! Beetles are the leading cause of death in kittens." He smiles as she bats at his paw.

He gently swats away her paw and he reaches out a paw to try and gently push her to the ground

[Deleted]

Honeykit falls onto her back into the dust, and when she rolls over back onto her paws, her pure white coat is covered in dirt. She shakes herself and crouches again, smiling, and gives with a playful growl. She charges at him in an adorable way and punces onto his much larger paw, gently and barely biting it.
