She met his stare calmly, her own chilling blue eyes locking with his. She knew if she backed down, he'd never respect her, and after all, it wasn't too difficult to stare down a kit. Most of the time.

Damn! I was gonna go for Tigerkit! I'll go for Sunkit then.)

Thunderfire walked into the den, her pelt bushed against the chilly wind that was blowing. Kits tumbled around at her paws.
"Hello?" she called, carefully stepping over the kits.

( Yup, I'll add you on the front. Can't make replies right now though orz )

( Sunkit's already taken, sorry! Medusa's the only one still open, so if you still want to try for one, you can take her or wait for another kit to show up? Again, sorry! )

( Could I please see Firekit? )

It's fine! Take your time. )

Firekit looked up from cleaning his scar of infection and spotted a she-cat approaching him. He scoffed as he heard he say hello. What do they expect me to do, greet these strangers warmly back and cuddle? "Hi," His gaze fixed back self-consciously to his worst scar on his fore-paw. Can you please me alone - look: I even said please! But none of this he uttered out loud. Instead he wrapped his tail around his ginger paws and waited for the she-cat to leave him alone once more so he could wash his scar alone. Alone, that's what I want right now. If any cat asks what I want - which my "caretakers" ask every single day! -  I want alone.

Firekit tried to suppress a squeaky sigh, like when his caretakers did whenever he got himself in trouble. But no avail: it come out even more higher-pitched then he'd intended. Great. He muttered. Just what I needed. I believe - myself, I've made a bad first impression. "Hmm..." He nodded, pretending to listen until she introduced herself. Oh! This is the part my caretakers told me about! "Listen. And when they introduce themselves politely return the favor.". "I'm Firekit," He looked up at her with blue eyes, feeling pleased someone decided to talk to him but also continuously mad at everything in the world, "and you seem...how do I put this? Like you want me? Well, sorry. But I'm not some show-pony you can parade around. I'm a cat!" He puffed out his chest in pride, being glad to be his species showed on his face. Uh-oh. I remember one of my care-takers- oh! Who cares about those cats? All they do is whine and teach me pointless things I won't even need in the future because nobody will probably ever want me! None of his mental turmoil showed on his little face - with the exception of it growing more angry and confused each second. His paws started to twitch and his claws slid out. Deep breaths.  The rational, more calm side of his mind said. Refusing to acknowledge the other side that was screaming at him for being a weak coward. He calmed down, his claws slid back in their sheaths and he appeared to be calm - on the outside, at least. "Sorry," He mumbled, looking down at his scar again while licking his chest fur in embarrassment.

(I have no idea what I do now.)

( Just approach Sunkit with your cat! Good luck! )

( It's difficult, isn't it? lol )

Tigerkit just looked at Rainshadow. The distance between them now gave her a slight sense of security, a barrier between something she was afraid to approach; she managed to lift her head up to meet Rainshadow's steady gaze, if only for a second before averting her eyes again to the side. Eons passed, and the blue eyes watching eternally still did not shift.

Tigerkit imagined herself standing and padding over to where Rainshadow sat with the mouse; she'd make her way over and then they'd play moss-ball and Tigerkit would have fun. But no matter what, she was anchored to the floor, her tail swishing this way and that and her paws still playing with the dust.

( Alright, I have to leave now. It'll take some time for Tigerkit to warm up; she's already recognizing that Rainshadow's a friendly she-cat, but she's just too scared to actually approach her now lol. I'm going to sleep after this response. )

It was as if Rainshadow had read her mind, for a moss-ball came flying her way, rolling peacefully along the cave floor and stopping just beside her. Tigerkit curiously reached out and grabbed it, fiddling with it a little before checking its source. It was Rainshadow yet again, purring and watching. Tigerkit still didn't meet her ever-watching blue gaze, but she managed a grateful purr—barely audible—out of her dry throat.

( Okay! If somebody's taken Palekit while you're with Medusa though, then you might not get Palekit. I'll reserve Palekit for you anyways! Good luck~ )

Slashpelt broke the silence with her soft voice. "Your name is Rainkit, am I right?" She swished her tail, giving off friendly, but not too friendly signals, but kept looking at him, although now that she had spoken she seemed not as threatening or dangerous as she may have originally come across.

Brambleheart narrowed her eyes competitively and backed away from the ball, running back into it to bat it with her paws once more right back at him slightly more gently. "Maybe a bit less hard?" She suggested while waiting for him to flick it back to her. "I can see now why the other kits probably can never beat you." She muttered.
