If Only It Could Be Like This Forever

Lilykit wandered out of the nursery. She looked around, wanting to play with someone. Maybe her siblings! She ran back in, with a large smile on her face and yelled out, “Does anyone want to play with me?” She looked at all six of her siblings. ”Please?” She asked, looking at each of her sisters in turn, then at her brother, and finally at her mother, Breezebranch. She stood there, waiting for someone to play with her.

Swiftkit looked up at lilykit as her mouth moved. Swiftkit has started to understand what people say by their mouths so she knew lilykit was asking to play or to hunt and she knew lilykit couldn’t hunt so she guessed play. Swiftkit got to her paws and padded over to lilykit and licked her nose.

(If you are too lazy to look at her guide, Lick nose= Let’s play )

Lilykit smiled, thinking that the gesture meant that Swiftkit wanted to play with her. ”Ok! If anyone else wants to play, we’ll be outside!” She padded outside of the nursery. ”So, Swift, what do you wanna play?” She asked excitedly.

Swiftkit looked around and ran towards the side of one nursery. She grabbed a moss ball and padded back towards lilykit setting it down at her paws.

”Mossball! Fun!” She rolled the ball back to Swiftkit.

Swiftkit smiled and rolled the ball back to her. This was the only game swift understood and so it was her favorite.

Lilykit smiled. Mossball was a fun game, and the only one she could play with Swiftkit. ”You’re good at this!” She rolled the ball back to Swiftkit.

Swiftkit nodded than she shocked lilykit. “Fun.” she mewed a little to loudly but she didn’t notice. She learned a few words by watching others talk so now she could say Fun and her name without problem.

Lilykit gaped. ”Y-you can talk!” She exclaimed excitedly. ”Wow! What else can you say?” She asked slowly, to see if her sister could read lips.

Swiftkit looked at her mouth nodding that she understood. “Swiftkit.” she mewed at lily than shook her head saying that’s all she knew.

Lilykit smiled. ”That’s good. Maybe someday you can learn more.” She passed the Mossball back to Swiftkit.

Swiftkit nodded and got to her paws. She padded towards lilykit and touched her nose to her cheek. Than went back to her spot and rolled the ball back.

(Touch nose to cheek: “I’m glad you’re here.”)

Lilykit smiled. She didn’t hire know what the gesture meant, but she was sure it was something nice. She rolled the ball back to her.

Swiftkit rolled the ball back than looked at the sky wondering if she would ever be able to be an apprentice at all.

Lilykit watched her sister, not knowing what was wrong. ”It’s okay, whatever’s wrong, it’s ok.” She comforted.

She nodded and then pounced on her sister, getting bored of moss ball.

Mudkit came tumbling out of the nursery, seeing two of her sisters wrestling together. "I wanna playyyy!!!" She squealed, throwing herself into the mix. Ooh, if Momma found out they were wrestling they'd be in sooooo much trouble!

”Hi Mudkit!” She greeted her sister as she pounced onto her, pinning her down. ”Gotcha!” She stuck her tongue out.

Swift swatted at mud and lilykit while also giggling. She was having a blast

(Streamlily is their NPC great aunt, she's an elder and only living family outside of parents and siblings, at least in SkC.)

Mudkit squealed as Lilykit sprang onto her. "Oh no you don't!" the mainly white molly squeaked, jumping back up. She squealed as threw herself at her tortoiseshell-tabby sister. "I've got you!"

An old, pretty, mostly white with brown tabby patched she-cat was sunning herself outside the elders den, when squeals caught her attention. She turned her old gaze to them, green eyes dull with age, though at the site of kits, they brightened. "Dears, make sure you play nice."

Lilykit giggled as she was thrust backward. She looked up at Streamlily, her namesake. ”We are!” She chirruped brightly. She looked at the elder innocently, smiling.

Maplekit had lumbered out of the nursery. He was quite big for a kit, but not too big. Still kit-sized. The odd looking tom (who looked more than she, than a tom) had blinked at his siblings sleepily, and then at the Elder, his kin, watching them play.

He then bunched himself up, before running fast as he can, ramming his body into Swiftkit.

Lilykit turned to her brother. ”Maplekit! Calm down, if you’re going to do that, do it to someone that can see you coming!” She suddenly felt very protective over her sister. Feeling bad for being mean to her brother, she spoke to him again. ”Sorry...but I don’t want her get hurt..” She muttered. Trying to lighten the mood, she tackled her brother, giggling.

Maplekit had fluffed up, speaking back to his sister. "She's not blind, and she can take care of herself." Maplekit had responded.

Maplekit had fell back, letting himself be tackled. As he was tackled, he'd whap his large paws into her.
"Your so heavy! You could sit on mother and crush her!", He'd tease at her lightly.

Lilykit laughed. ”You’re one to talk! I bet you couldn’t climb a tree without snapping it in half!” She pawed at his face. Not being able to control her laughter, she rolled off of him and onto the ground, laughing hysterically.
