Burntkit sat at the entrance to the nursery, his eyes wide open, darting from each cat in the main clearing to the next. He was assessing his chance of finding a warrior or apprentice to play with him. Being a single kit with no parents, the young tom had taken to hanging around the older cats. As he was still a kit, this was sometimes hard. Older cats didn't always want to be around him. However, Burntkit looked on the bright side...Soon, he would be old enough to have a mentor! Then, he would be free of the nursery, and have other apprentices to play with and learn with. The little kit gave a shudder of excitement. He couldn't wait to be an apprentice! Burntpaw. He thought to himself. Soon that will be what they call me. He couldn't help but let out a small purr. He calmed himself a bit and continued looking for a cat to hang out with.

Dawnkit looked at Burnkit and sighed. Still thinking on becoming an apprentice Burnkit? she giggled. She was excited too, but she would kinda miss getting her food without lifting a paw. She liked to explore and roam, but home is where the free food is! She purred to herself and looked back at Burnkit.

Burntkit swung his head around to see Dawnkit near the back of the nursery. She was half shadowed, and he had totally missed her earlier. He should have used his nose to check if she was in the den, but sitting so close to the camp center, his senses had been clouded. He had thought the she-kit was off with the elders or something. "Yeah. It'll be great, don't you think?" Burntkit meowed, padding over to the other kit. He hadn't meant to look as though he was avoiding her. If he had known she was behind him, he would have been glad of the company...As it happened, the tom had cheered up immediately at the sound of her meow. He had a cat to hang out with now...The young tom smiled, his eyes glinting happily.
OOC: Sorry! When I posted this, there were no other Riverclan kits...lol

Ooc: ik... i got bored.... lmao ^^
Ic: Yeah... she sighed. She wanted to leave and hunt, but she knew she would always find herself wanting to come back here, to where she was born. she looked at Burnkit and sighed. Won't you miss the nursery though? No more playing with moss bigger than you, no more being able to snuggle with others when it's cold... she blushed through her fur at that thought. She remembered on more than one occasion when she could snuggle with Burnkit, while he slept, to keep them warm. He was fast asleep and she always left before he woke.

"I guess I'll miss the lack of work to do around here. Then again, I look forward to having tasks to complete as an apprentice. and I never really have a cat to snuggle with..." he meowed the last part quietly. He had totally misinterpreted Dawnkit's last remark as one about mothers. Having no mother, Burntkit felt left out at that statement. The tom turned his amber gaze away for a moment while he regained his mental composure. When he turned back to look at Dawnkit again, he was smiling once more. "Want to play a game or something?" he asked, trying to get off the subject he thought was mothers.

Ok! she mewed excitedly. Whatcha want ot play? she crouched down and swung her tail from side to side, looking like she was ready to pounce. Let's fight! Rawr! she giggled as she pounced on him and jumped off. Or We can go pounce on the elders, though they might get mad.... We can go explore around the camp area, as long as we stay really close to the camp! she liked the exploring idea most. she looked at Burnkit with excited eyes. I have a ton of ideas! she mewed, her eyes wide.

Burntkit, who normally had the mature attitude of a much older cat, couldn't help but become immersed in a very kit-like energy. Seeing Dawnkit's hyper attitude and hearing her fun ideas, he couldn't resist acting his age for once. "Ok. I like the idea about exploring!" he purred, bouncing a little on his paws. One good thing about not having a mother watching you, was that you didn't have to ask her permission to leave the nursery. You could go off, and not have a mother to answer to. Ok, so maybe that made Burntkit sad when he was sitting alone. But at times like these, when he had a friend and was happy, the thought only made him pleased. "Where do you want to go first?" he asked the little she-kit.

Well.... Let's just go run around first and see what we find! She raced to the entrance and looked back at Burnkit. Come on! Let's go! Dawnkit mewed, wanting to bounce to the sky. [She sat and waited for Burnkit to run up to her.

Again, Burntkit couldn't control his kit-like instincts. As he watched Dawnkit move with such excitement, he couldn't help but be filled with the same energy. "Ok!" the tabby kit meowed, his eyes practically on fire with a need to play. He raced out of the nursery, and scampered around in a small circle a few times. His eyes darted all over the Riverclan camp. Everywhere he looked seemed enticing. He just couldn't pick a place to go first...A fluttering leaf caught his eye and the young tom pounced, his tail flashing back and forth happily. He lifted his head, leaf prize clamped tightly in his jaws. He grinned and spat out the plant.

Nice catch! come on! She ran out of the camp and turned to her left. She hid and waited for Burnkit so she could pounce on him. I'm gonna get him! she whispered loudly.

Burntkit watched Dawnkit race out of the camp. He hesitated for a moment. He knew it would be trouble for both of them if a warrior of some older cat found them out of camp...However, it would be a much better adventure than exploring behind the elders den or something...The young tom scampered off after his friend, disappearing out of camp before any cat would notice. He heard Dawnkit whispering near by, but couldn't understand what she was saying. "Dawnkit?" he called out loud, looking around for her. For a moment he worried that something bad had happened to her. Burntkit's eyes grew wide with worry...

Dawnkit pounced out of her hiding place and jumped on him. Gotcha! she mewed. she got off and licked her paw before turning around and walked to where the back of the nursery was. She sat down and waited for Burnkit to bound up to her.

Burntkit laughed as Dawnkit jumped on him. He felt relieved that she was safe, and slipped once more into his kit-like feeling of security. He watched her race around a bend in the camp wall, before following after her. He found himself facing a patch of wall in the camp. Faint, albeit familiar scents wafted from behind this part of the wall. "We're behind the nursery now, aren't we?" the tom asked, his eyes wide with a sense of awe. It felt strange, to be so close to the place that constantly felt like a cage. However, now that he was so close, yet completely free of it, the kit felt like laughing and gasping at the same time. He glanced over at Dawnkit to see how she felt about the place...

Yes! We are outside of our prison! she laughed. Let's go behins the warriors' den next! she scampered off to the den and gasped at the amazment. The back is amazing! she whispered loudly, awed by the sight. Now I can't wait till I'm a warrior! she laughed at the thought. She had never thought of it before and now, she wanted to be one more than ever.

Burntkit laughed as Dawnkit scampered off to the next location. As he followed after her, the smell of the older cats hit his nose. He had smelled it many times when passing the Warriors den inside the camp. the back did look amazing to him, though not because it was a sight to see. More because he was filled with images of himself working for Riverclan as a warrior in the future. Somehow, those thoughts and images in his mind seemed to project glory onto the simple bramble and thorn wall behind the den. The young tom smiled. "I can't wait to sleep in there." he meowed aloud, but only in a whisper. the last thing he wanted was for a warrior to wake up to their voices coming from behind camp. Who knew what kind of trouble that would get them into? It might even slow down his becoming a warrior...Burntkit gave an involuntary shudder at the thought. "Lets go check out someplace else, ok?" he whispered to Dawnkit.
