In the Nursery... « Thread Started on Jun 6, 2008, 8:29pm »
Runningkit pricked her ears, the usual shallow breaths of her mother were softer and slower. The kit scrambled to her feet, she padded out of the nursery, where all the Warriors were going about their duties. She sighed, and sat down.
The white she-cat licked her paw and then ran it over her ear, just as she'd seen the warriors doing. She gazed up at the sky, wondering if anything interesting was going to happen.
None of the cats ever stopped to play with her, but that was okay. She was supposed to be an apprentice soon, so it would be okay.
Until then she had to stick with her mother and the other kits in the nursery. Runningkit rolled onto her back, and batted at a butterfly fluttering about above her.
If only I were bigger, she thought as the bug flew away past the reach of her paws. If I was the right size, catching that would be easy!

Slipping into the nursery quietly, Ravenstar padded over to Nightfall. She felt obligated to check on all of her WindClan's queens while they still had kits, but this visit was for a different matter than just checking up. Sitting beside the queen, she noticed that Runningkit was looking a bit bored, her paws batting at a butterfly until it flew too high for her, "Hello, Runningkit," she mewed softly before turning to the kit's mother.
"Nightfall...," she prodded her softly, "I'm sorry to wake you, but can I speak with you for a moment?" Her pale amber eyes gazed down at the queen softly. She hadn't thought she would have to wake her up and would have come back later, but she thought it was important enough not to wait.

Nightfall's opalescent eyes opened as soon as she registered Ravenstar's voice. The black queen was on her feet in an instant. She dipped her head at Ravenstar. "Of course." The she-cat's tail hung lifeless behind her as she nudged Runningkit to be respectful.
The white she-kit bowed her head at the Clan leader. Her mother was always so fussy - Runningkit was just being herself, playing.... alone. The white she cat looked at the leader with her big bright eyes wondering what this was about. She stayed silent as she listened to the conversation between Ravenstar and her mother.

Ravenstar made herself settled and comfortable before speaking again, "Runningkit is about six moons now, is she not? It seems she's getting a little big for the nursery, and a little bored with it," she purred softly, amused, "I think it's about time she became an apprentice. Of course, if you don't think she's ready, then we'll wait."
She blinked thoughtfully, looking over at Runningkit. The kit actually wasn't that might smaller than Ravenstar herself, seeing as Ravenstar was a very small cat. She was sure the kit would soon outgrow her, as most cats in the Clan did. Even if Runningkit was ready to become an apprentice, Ravenstar was unsure as to who she would choose as her mentor. Ravewind would be a good choice, but it might be hard for him to train the young cat properly with his condition. There was Darkamber as well, but she was a bit unsure about giving him another apprentice quite yet after Somberpaw....

"I do think it's about time... but before I would like to know who her mentor would be. I still don't trust Darkamber, so that would only leave Ravewind....." The black she-cat trailed off in thought. She wasn't sure what she wanted. She turned as she felt a small paw on her foreleg.
"I want to be an apprentice NOW! I'll work hard and train with Somberpaw or even by myself! PLEASE?!?" The white she-kit meowed. Sure, she looked young and small but she felt ready to start to train. Her size was at the age most kits could just talk, but Runningkit was already eating solid food.

Darkamber slowly entered the nursery, his fur ruffled after giving Somberpaw a lecture about getting more training into his daily routin "hello Ravenstar,Nightfall, Runningkit" he smiled at the kit, his eyes lighting up, he had taken a liking to this kit , brave and ready for anything "You will make a great apprentice Runningkit" he meowed, overhearing the conversation a bit. He then smiled, a look nobody had ever seen him do before.

Nightfall's eyes flashed at the Tom. She didn't trust her kit into the paws of Darkamber, but.... he seemed the only cat who might even have a slim chance of mentoring Runningkit. Unless Ravenstar wanted to be a mentor herself.
The queen meowed curtly. "She will be an apprentice soon, yes. But-"
"I know! Darkamber can train me! I'll be the fastest, and best warrior WindClan ever saw!" The white kit bounced up and down, then ran around the nursery in circles. "Please, please, please, please, please, please please, please, please, please, please!!!"
"Alright! Slow down." Runningkit's mother stuck a paw out for the kit to slow down, to no avail. Runningkit just leapt over it - even if she was small her legs still held the strength of a WindClan cat.
