Palekit flicked his ear. "I don't see how throwing a moss ball compares to catching prey." He shook his head.
"What's gotten under your fur?" Whorlkit looked up at Honeypaw, noting his mod was sourer than usual. She kept her paws on the mossball though.

Whorlkit looked up at Honeypaw, noting his mod was sourer than usual. She kept her paws on the mossball though. “And that’s why you’re still a kit and not an apprentice, who can make any game a lesson in training.” Honeypaw looked at Palekit with a sharp blink, before he took a breath and pulled himself together. Looking at Whorlkit, he mewed. “Just a little ticked, some cats in the clan think it’s okay to leave others waiting...” He had a small idea. “You know, if you two want, I know of a helpful thing you can do. If not for me, then for Coalpaw.” He gave a kinder mew now.

Palekit flattened his ears, tail lashing behind him. "You've got some nerve asking us for help after insulting us like you just did."
Whorlkit flicked her ear, glancing back at her brother in agreement, but her curiosity was getting the better of her. "Is something wrong with Coalpaw?"

Whorlkit flicked her ear, glancing back at her brother in agreement, but her curiosity was getting the better of her. "Is something wrong with Coalpaw?" “Do you want to help Coalpaw or do you want to get uppity about me and my oh so nasty words?” Honeypaw snarked. He shook his pelt and sighed. “Oakstalk has me training hard, as he should. But lately it seems Coalpaw might be falling behind. For the next few days, can you just look out of the nursery and tell me if he’s in camp throughout the day? He’s forgetful sometimes. I love him, but he can really get mixed up. I just want to make sure he’s keeping up with his work and he tells me that when I remind him, he gets it done better.” He asked.

Whorlkit glanced at her brother. "Father does say that training is really important, no apprentice should be falling behind..."
Palekit let out a sigh. "Fine, but I'm not doing it for you, Honeypaw."

"Fine, but I'm not doing it for you, Honeypaw." “I’m not doing it for me either.” Honeypaw looked at Palekit with a small roll of his eyes, before a flicker of concern filled his eyes as he nodded to them. “Really. Thank you both. I agree. He should be training more, and I don’t want him to be in danger if he’s missing important lessons.” He nodded. More than anything, he needed to make sure Coalpaw was being taken out. If he wasn’t, the idea of Ashrock using his brother like that made his blood boil. Like Coalpaw was nothing worth training.

"Isn't his mentor Ashrock?" Whorlkit tilted her head, glancing at her brother again. "Ashrock is always boasting that he's one of the best warriors in the Clan, wouldn't that mean he's training Coalpaw really hard?"
Palekit shrugged. "I don't know, I don't like the way Ashrock has been talking to father lately."

"I don't know, I don't like the way Ashrock has been talking to father lately." “Ashrock’s been spending his time telling everyone what to do. Yet it seems he could be forgetting to do that to his own apprentice.” Honeypaw narrowed his eyes. “Seems to me he thinks your father can’t do his own job.” He hummed, letting a hint of anger fill his cool voice. “Keep this between us for now. The last thing we want is to make assumptions without proof...”

"Hey! Our father is the best deputy ever!" Palekit bared his teeth at Honeypaw, his kit fur all spiked up. "No one can do better than him at the job!"
Whorlkit twitched her whiskers in amusement at her brother's sudden snap. "I don't think Ashrock thinks that, siblings look out for each other? Right." She looked back at Honeypaw. "Like you're looking out for Coalpaw."

Whorlkit twitched her whiskers in amusement at her brother's sudden snap. "I don't think Ashrock thinks that, siblings look out for each other? Right." She looked back at Honeypaw. "Like you're looking out for Coalpaw." Honeypaw lifted a brow calmly at Palekit, keeping in mind the tom’s strong reaction at the words. That could be useful in the future. He nodded quickly. “Exactly, Palekit. But that might not be the thoughts of your uncle. And yes, Whorlkit. Siblings should always protect and care for eachother. Which is why I’m getting rather ragged about it. Not only could he be hurting my brother. He could be messing with your father! Which means we have to work together on this. And we have to do it quietly.” He explained.

"What can we do?" Whorlkit flattened her ears. "We're only kits."
"What makes you so sure Ashrock is messing with father? Sure, the bit fluffball has been sterner lately, but that doesn't prove anything." Palekit glanced across the camp where Ashrock was cleaning his pelt by the medicine den.

Palekit glanced across the camp where Ashrock was cleaning his pelt by the medicine den. “You can do something really important. Keep an eye out. Sure, I could be wrong. But what if I’m right? If Ashrock is up to funny business and is making my brother suffer for it, I have to know for sure...” Honeypaw urged firmly. He felt his paws shuffle with bitter anger. “Coalpaw’s not smiling like he used to. He’s forcing his happiness. He’s not winning in wrestling like he used to. Even I can admit he’s naturally stronger than me. But he’s become even clumsier. It should be the opposite by now.” He sighed.

"So we keep an eye out." Palekit flicked his ear, a frown on his face. "And we do discover that Coalpaw isn't training at all, you think the Clan's going to take our word over the word of Ashrock?"

Honeypaw shook his head lightly to the older kits, mewing out. “Leave that to me. I don’t want either of you getting slack for doing something I personally asked of you. If you see something funny, just tell me. I’ll get other cats to believe us if it is true. It’s a process of connections, really. The clan may not take our word. But higher ranked members can be persuaded with enough finesse.” Honeypaw assured.

Whorlkit shook her head in amusement.

Palekit flicked his ear doubtfully. "Sure, Honeypaw, whatever you say." Whorlkit shook her head in amusement. “Trust me or don’t trust me. But I need to know this. And I think your father could lose credit if the clan starts taking orders from Ashrock instead. I won’t let anyone take advantage of my brother. He’s naive, but he puts his clan and family first. I’ll be a rat before I ever let anyone mess with that.” Honeypaw mewed firmly, determined and cool. “And I’ll be sure to repay the favor. Any move I can show you, any kind of prey I can catch you, though no promises with this weather.”

The two silbings glanced at each other at Honeypaw's words. "I'll help, Honeypaw." Whorlkit smiled back at the older tom. "Coalpaw deserves better if he really is falling behind. He's too sweet to be neglected."
"Frogs will fly before our father loses credit with the Clan." Palekit lashed his tail. "If you really think Ashrock is trying to ruin father's reputation, then I'll look into it too, but Ashrock isn't guilty until we have proof!"

I may have bias being Coalpaw’s brother, but I prefer a fair investigation rather than calling assumptions like a simpleton. We watch, we wait, we investigate. We gather the information and find who we need to tell.” Honeypaw nodded, finding a newfound respect for the slightly younger kits whom he once found bothersome. Perhaps he could lessen his boundaries for them. But only them for now. He’d honor any deal he made.

"We'll keep an eye out." Whorlkit picked up her mossball. "Do you want to play?"

"We'll keep an eye out." Whorlkit picked up her mossball. "Do you want to play?" Honeypaw felt a tremor of conflict. Kit games were no longer ideal to him. But, if he wanted them to keep their promise and if he wanted to let them in on his search for answers, it was only fair he compromised. He nodded. “Sure. Any game you want, I suppose.”

"Seriously?" Palekit blinked in surprise at Honeypaw.
Whorlkit laughed happily, then ran away with the mossball. "Can't catch me! Can't catch me!"

Can't catch me!" “Seriously.” Honeypaw gave a small snort of assurance as he challenged smoothly. “I was masterful at games. That won’t change. Besides, you’re helping me, I’d be a fool to deny you this.” He smirked, before he sprang swiftly after Whorlkit. “Keep up!” He decided to go slower for Whorlkit’s sake, though the arrogant competition in his body whispered to show no mercy even to his younger clanmates.

Palekit rolled his eyes at Honeypaw's polite boasting before scurrying after them, he smirked softly when Whorlkit dashed away again. The she-kit thought she could lose the two by squeezing through the small holes in the camp's thorny wall.

The she-kit thought she could lose the two by squeezing through the small holes in the camp's thorny wall. Honeypaw gave a small snort as he saw her slip into a hole. He looked quickly and carefully at each opening before he picked one to slip towards. He lifted his nose and called with false confusion. “Whorlkit? Where in Starclan are you in here?” He pricked his ears to hear for any response.

Whorlkit giggled quietly, weaving through the thorns like she had done it plenty of times before. "What's wrong, Honeypaw? Thorns in your pelt?"

Whorlkit giggled quietly, weaving through the thorns like she had done it plenty of times before. "What's wrong, Honeypaw? Thorns in your pelt?" Honeypaw spoke smoothly, using his nose to track out the kit. He wanted to keep her distracted though, waiting to hear and scent her closer before he chose a gap to slip through. “Starclan no. I wouldn’t let thorns dirty my pelt. I simply have to admire your agility in these thorn walls.”

Palekit was waiting outside the camp wall, scanning it's depths and expecting Honeypaw to flush out his sister. "Whorlkit, you know you're not supposed to go in there."
Whorlkit snickered softly, climbing up on the brambles of the wall. "You're just too afraid to explore, Palekit!"

Whorlkit snickered softly, climbing up on the brambles of the wall. "You're just too afraid to explore, Palekit!" Honeypaw had a sudden idea to flush her out. He gave a fake noise of discormfort before he yipped and mewed. “Oh! Ouch! Oh no. I think I’m stuck on a thorn.” He sniffed, scooting back a bit towards an exit hole back towards camp.

Whorlkit snickered happily. "Does this mean you're giving up, Honeypaw?" “I can’t pull myself out.” Honeypaw gave a small cry. “I need your help, Whorlkit.” He asked, head angled towards where her voice was coming from. He slipped closer to the way out. “Over here!”
