1x1 Kess and Gohtye.

[Kess]

Blossomkit grinned at the new cat. Curiously, she stood up and sniffed him, trying to remember his scent. She twitched her ears around, then reared on her hind legs, leaned on the new cat, and licked his cheek, trying to tell him that she wanted to be friends.

Blackpaw

Blackpaw held still as Blossomkit sniffed him, his lips twitching slightly in amusement. He was surprised when she reared on her hind legs and licked his cheek, but after some hesitation he returned the gesture with a warm purr—but then again she couldn't hear that, could she? No, but surely she'd feel the vibrations emanating from his throat, and that was good enough for him.

[Kess]

Blossomkit grinned and sat back down again beside a smiling Brightsky.

"She likes you already, I can tell," said the elderly she-cat. "That's interesting. She usually doesn't do that. Typically, she sticks close to me and Thistlefoot."

Blackpaw

Blackpaw sat, curling his tail around his paws. "Well, I'm honored." He liked it here, just talking to the elder warriors and Blossomkit. Perhaps he'd visit them, when he had spare time, in the future. He glanced at Thistlefoot, who was laying in a stray patch of sunlight in the mouth of the hollow log, dozing peacefully, but obviously listening to the conversation. Making sure I don't mess up, thought Blackpaw, amused.

[Kess]

Brightsky dipped her head. What a respectful young tom! He would make an excellent warrior for ThunderClan. "So, why don't you tell us about yourself? What kind of life did you lead before coming to our Clan? Where did you live, and what did you eat?" She shifted her weight from her left side to her right and curled one tail around the now-sleeping Blossomkit, who had all but passed out after giving her approval to Blackpaw.

Blackpaw

Pleased that he could offer some sort of information in return, Blackpaw gave his chest fur a couple of thoughtful licks, wondering where to begin. "Well," he began, watching a bird flit from one tree to the next, "I was born in a twoleg village, about three day's travel from here. My mother was a house-cat—a kittypet, as you call them—and my father was what's known as a stray, or a loner. I didn't like the life of a kittypet, so I became a loner as soon as I could. I ate whatever I could catch, occasionally hunting through the twoleg's bins that they put food and such in when they don't want it anymore. It's odd, I know," he said, with a slight shrug. "But anyways, I caught birds and squirrels mostly. You wouldn't believe how fat the squirrels got! They weighed more than I did, practically." He let out a small purr of amusement at the look on Thistlefoot's face.

[Kess]

Brightsky chuckled at the young cat. A sense of humor was something she had always admired in warriors, because it showed that they weren't too serious and weren't afraid to let loose a little. "Did you have siblings? Or did they stay behind in the Twolegplace?"

[ragemonster]

Blackpaw

Blackpaw nodded. "I have two brothers and a sister. The two brothers are Cloud and Jasper, and my sister's name is Flower. I miss them quite a lot, but I don't know if they would have liked Clan life." He paused, a thoughtful expression flickering across his visage, before continuing. "I had another sister, but I don't remember what happened to her. Do you have any siblings?" he asked, peering around curiously for any more elders that looked like Brightsky.

[Kess]

Brightsky's ears flattened. "Yes," she replied sourly, "I have a brother. His name is Thunderwhisker. He left the Clan for a she-cat from RiverClan." She sighed. "I love him even though he broke the warrior code."

[ragemonster]

Blackpaw

Blackpaw's ears flicked backward slightly in alarm as Brightsky's flattened; he was half-certain that he'd offended her in some way and was about to get pounced on, but all she did was explain in a slightly bitter tone that her brother had joined RiverClan. "I'm sorry," said Blackpaw. He wasn't sure that he should offer apologies, but he didn't know what else to say.
