Softkit and Raccoonkit

[Raccoonkit]

-Softkit. I'm not creative with titles, sorry.-

Raccoonkit was out of the nursery as soon as the sun came up. The brown tabby was excited for a new day. Her conversation with Beetlekit had left the kit feeling hopeful. This was a day to make new friends. Amber eyes scanned the camp. The Dawn Patrol was just leaving. They were all cats she didn't recognize.  She huffed. Surely, there had to be someone she could talk to.

The fluffy brown kit paced outside the nursery's entrance. Should she go back in or just wait? One of the apprentices might give her another moss ball. No, she had just done that. Raccoonkit felt like  making up a new game or just having a good conversation with someone. With that in mind, she went back into the nursery.

"Hello!" Raccoonkit softly called. "Is anyone up for a game of hide and seek?"

[Softkit]

Softkit rolled onto her back, she was bored and even daydreaming wasn't keeping her very occupied. Her amber eyes watched another kit enter the nursery and ask about a game. 'I've never heard of hide and seek before' Softkit mused internally. "What's seek and hide? Er... hide and seek i mean" she asked, peering at the other she-kit without moving from her position laying on her back.

[Raccoonkit]

Raccoonkit tilted her head at Softkit. What was wrong with this kit? Its ears were folded. Raccoonkit had never seen anything like it. Is that normal for some cats, the tabby wanted to ask. She held her tongue because she wanted Softkit to like her. Raccoonkit felt that she was too honest at times.

A mrrow of laughter came from the brown tabby, "Seek and hide is where one of us hides and the other tries to find the kit that is hiding." Raccoonkit wiggled, excited to play. "Do you want to play?"

[Softkit]

Softkit noticed the other kit looking at her ears curiously, and she winced a bit, knowing her ears looked odd. She self consciously pawed her ears, wishing they weren't folded down permanently.

Softkit listened to the explanation of the game curiously, her tail twitching a bit nervously when the she-kit called the game seek and hide instead of hide and seek 'I hope that shes laughing with me and not at me'. "Sounds fun!" Softkit purred excitedly, trying not to let her anxious energy get the better of her.

[Raccoonkit]

Raccoonkit's amber eyes twinkled with embarrassment. She saw Softkit look at her ears. Raccoonkit stared at her paws. "I'm sorry for looking at your ears," Raccoonkit apologized. The older kit wondered if it hurt Softkit to have her ears folded like that.

Raccoonkit blinked, her version of a smile. "Let's go play hide and seek!" She was jubilant that Softkit had decided to play with her. Raccoonkit's fluffy tail shot straight in the air. "I'm so excited! I think you'll like it." With that she left exited the nursery., waiting for Softkit to join her.

[Softkit]

Softkit chuckled nervously before replying quietly " It's okay, they are kinda odd" Softkit giggled, hoping her own self-consciousness wasn't making Raccoonkit feel bad. ' Well, i'd probably question them too if they weren't my own ears' She mused to herself before following Raccoonkit outside, flicking her tail excitedly. She wondered where they could hide, the camp was huge after all! There would probably have to be boundaries. Softkit shuddered, imagining how angry the warriors would be if one of them wandered into the warriors den. "Oh! i forgot to introduce myself. My name is Softkit, whats yours?" Softkit was really proud of herself, that was the first time she hadn't trailed off mid-sentence while saying something that long. She grinned proudly, happy with herself. 

[Raccoonkit]

-Your photos are so cute! -

Raccoonkit felt a wave of relief when Softkit giggled. This was going better than she thought. The brown tabby kit was excited to make a new friend. She blinked at Softkit, happiness glowing in her amber eyes. The older kit let out a mrrow of laughter. Of course, she had forgotten to introduce herself.

"I'm Raccoonkit," the brown tabby purred. "Softkit," she mused, "That is a pretty name." Softkit looked really happy and Raccoonkit blinked. Raccoonkit shook her head, "Better than Raccoonkit!"

[Softkit]

~Thanks so much :3~

Softkit grinned "Thanks" She mewed bashfully "Raccoons are so cool though! I think both of our names are super cool..."Softkit trailed off, a bird in the sky catching her attention. She watched, fully captivated as a feather from its wings floated to the ground and got whisked away by the wind. Then she realized she was still talking to Raccoonkit. 'This is a really bad habit' She thought to herself, shaking her head to clear her thoughts before continuing her sentence  Our names will be even more awesome when we're warriors!"

[Raccoonkit]

- You're welcome!-

Raccoonkit purred when Softkit complimented her name. "Thank you!" Amber eyes followed Softkit's gaze to the bird. The tabby wondered what Softkit was thinking. Did she want to fly? Raccoonkit shook her head. Cats can't fly. That would be too weird.

"Have you thought about your warrior name?" Raccoonkit excitedly asked. She wondered what name Cloverstar would choose for her and hoped they wouldn't be ugly sounding names. Raccoonkit sat down, wrapping her tail around her paws. If they kept talking like this they may never get to their game, but she was okay with that. Meaningful conversation is what she preferred to games.

[Softkit]

Softkit nodded excitedly "Warrior names sound really awesome! I hope i get something awesome, like Softstorm!" She exclaimed, her eyes shining "what about you? There are so many cool warrior names for Raccoon." Softkit paused, looking around the den for ideas. 'that moss looks really fluffy, like it could tickle someone!' She thought with a small purr. Shaking her head, she continued, trying to play it off like she had been thinking " Raccoonclaw, Raccoonfang, Raccoonleap. I could go on and on!

[Raccoonkit]

Softstorm, Raccoonkit mused. Could there be a soft storm? Raccoonkit thought the name didn't make sense. The brown tabby released a chuckle with Softkit's suggestions. All of those names did sound good. Raccoonkit would have to be good at fighting first.

"Those are awesome names," Raccoonkit started, "I like Raccoonpounce, Raccoonheart, and Raccoonfang. I'd like my name to resemble something awesome about me." Raccoonkit tilted her head. "If not, I'll just be Raccoonfur." Raccoonkit blinked at Softkit.

[Softkit]

Softkit giggled "Then i'll be Softpelt, and we can match!" She flicked Racoonkit with her tail lightly in a playful way. Although the other she-kit was apprentice sized, Softkit wasn't worried about getting squished if they started playing. Noticing a particularly soft looking weed bunch she began devising an evil plan, a playful and mischievous gleam in her eyes.

[Raccoonkit]

Laughter is infectious. Raccoonkit soon chortled herself. Softpelt was a cute name. "I like it!" The older tabby playfully flicked Softkit's chin with her tail. Backing up to face Softkit, the darker fluffy kit wiggled her haunches like she was about to pounce on Sofkit. A playful wrestling match would hurt.

Raccoonkit took in Softkit's smaller size. She wouldn't hurt the kit and certainly not pin her. A playful roll would be okay. Raccoonkit's hesitation to pounce made it easy for Softkit to initiate something.

[Softkit]

Softkit squealed excitedly as she ran towards she clump of weeds and ripped up a pawful. She allowed herself to be tranfixed on the feeling of the soft leaves in her paws before launching towards Raccoonkit with a small battlecry. "My secret weapon!" she called out, trying to duck close to the older kit and rub the soft leaves under Raccoonkit's nose to tickle her.

[Raccoonkit]

Amber eyes widened. Raccoonkit had been lost in her thoughts. "Wait, what..." Curious amber eyes watched as Softkit pulled the weeds. Raccoonkit tilted her head. What in CloudClan was this kit doing? Suddenly Sofkit released her battle cry and Raccoonkit was backing up. Unsure of what was about to happen. Secret weapon?

Raccoonkit had realized too late what Softkit's goal was and didn't duck. The leaves of the weeds rubbed her chin whilst the flowers of the weeds tickled her nose. Raccoonkit gasped and sneezed louder than she thought she could. She blinked and twitched her nose. Her fur was fluffed out due to her surprise, making her appear twice as big.
