Childhood melody [Open]

[Snowwhisper]

Snowwhisper walked through camp. She had just recently joined and become the medicine cat's apprentoce, and yet she already smelled of herbs and honey. Odd how that worked. She almost didn't smell like a loner anymore. Well, granted she wasn't a loner anymore, but still. She smiled as she saw another cat and approached. "Hello." she said as she approached, a small smile on her face. She didn't know many cats, but she was still naive enough to think they were all going to be perfectly nice. In her past life they were either pouncing on you or overly docile, and none of the cats in the clans were pouncing. She probably felt a lot safer in this new clan than she should have. "I'm Snowwhisper."

mistykit almost did a double take when he heard her greeting. iceclan's medicine cat apprentice? what was she doing, talking to a good-for-nothing kitten like himself? he decided to make the most of this moment of glory, stopping dead in his tracks, and greeting the white she-cat with his most friendly smile.
"hey. i'm mistykit," he started to say, before wrinkling his nose. "ew. do all medicine cats smell like... stale bedding?" a small grin danced on his childish features, revealing the beginnings of small but gleaming white teeth. "you smell kinda bad. did you get into a scrap with a loner?" he paused, tilting his head. "i didn't know medicine cats fought."

[Snowwhisper]

Snowwhisper giggled. "You get all that from just scent, huh?" she asked, tilting her head. "It's stale herbs, not stale bedding. Some smell better than others," she wrinkled her nose. "So it depends on the day. And acctually, I was born a loner. Medicine cats only know basic fighting ussually. I can probably hold up to a stupid warrior, but if one acctually thought about what they were doing while fighting I'm pretty much dead." she answered all the questions as best she could. "What about you? Who's you your family?"

mistykit bobbed his head up and down in what was supposed to be a nod. "yup, my scent of smell is pretty good," he couldn't help but boast, downplaying it a little by giving the medicine cat apprentice a modest smile. "really? for some reason, i'm always bumping into people with that kind of background. like, they used to be loners, but then they join iceclan. not that it's a bad thing, of course! we're lucky you came." he babbled, afraid that his words would wound. "good thing iceclan is the best clan," he grinned. "you won't find any stupid warriors here. no, they're all over in the other clans." 

[Snowwhisper]

Snowwhisper nodded, stopping herself from laughing. "Well that's because Iceclan is going through a rough patch. Otherwise there would be more Iceclan born cats. " she responded. "But you were born here, right? Who are your parents?" she asked.
(Sorry, really short post...

mistykit considered her words. they made sense, but he didn't want them to. iceclan was going through a rough patch? that implied it was a temporary thing, but, try as he might, he could not place so much trust in wording. 
"i was," he replied, tracing a circle in the snow with one absent-minded paw. "dappledleaf. i don't know who my dad is. but a lot of kits don't. that's not bad, right?" he answered, passing a paw over the circle he had made, brushing away all trace of it. 

[Snowwhisper]

Noticing Mistykit's reaction, Snowwhisper explained what she meant. "That just means after the trip back we have a little bit less cats than usual."
Snowwhisper shook her head. "That's not odd at all." she responded with a smile. She knew some cats who didn't know their parents at all, so not knowing a dad was. better than that. And not knowing a dad helped with family issues.

he smiled up at snowwhisper, grateful for the reassurance. "the trip back?" he questioned. for every question she answered, another one popped up, he thought ruefully. he was surprised that she hadn't even shown any hint of annoyance while answering them. "oh, do you mean... the... thing?" he said feebly. "i was born afterwards, so i don't know much about it." a new question struck him, and he hesitated before asking. "how... how did you find iceclan, if you don't mind my asking? did you join during the trip, or afterwards?"

[Snowwhisper]

Snowwhisper shook her head. "I joined after when I heard you guys were in need of a medicine cat. I knew enough about herbs to get by already, so it made sense to me to join. I was never one for the fighting it took to survive out there."
