Thornkit
“I want all three of you to be careful, please.” Aurora said softly as she looked down at Scorchkit before leaning down to smooth a piece of fur that was sticking up on the top of his head. The black and golden molly had been very busy this afternoon, as the molly had made sure that Firestar, Scorchkit and Thornkit were fed and the boys were properly groomed for an outing with their father. Today, Firestar wanted to teach Scorchkit, Thornkit and Tumblekit to climb trees.. However, Tumblekit didn’t want to participate in today’s activity but rather hang out with his mother and sisters. Thornkit was sitting next to his father, his tail fluffed up in excitement and was bouncing slightly in his spot. The dark brown tabby had been overjoyed when hearing that himself and Scorchkit would be taken outside of the camp, and learning how to climb trees.. As pranking within camp was getting more difficult, especially when he was trying his best to not get caught.. But for some reason, Thornkit felt like Firestar knew about his pranks towards the elders and senior warriors.. Or Thornkit was very good at being sneaky, he wasn’t quite sure yet.
“Most importantly, listen to your father” Aurora said, leaning down to touch Thornkit’s head with her pink nose. If Aurora was being honest, she was glad that the boys would be spending the afternoon with their father. Those two kept Aurora on her toes everyday, when it wasn’t Scorchkit jumping off dens and small rocks within the camp.. It was Thornkit who somehow would find a beetle and stick it in the nursery, causing Littledove or the other queens to panic while their children would be chasing after it. Aurora was nervous to let all six of their kits begin their climbing lessons, as she wasn’t the biggest fan of climbing while also remembering Claypath’s accident.. But Firestar had gently reminded her that their children were growing up, they couldn’t be protected from her for the rest of their lives. Moving towards the massive ginger tabby, Aurora nuzzled her face into his neck for a moment before leaning up to peck his lips “I hope you guys have fun.. I love you” She whispered softly to him, moving to her boys and kissing them each on the head before beckoning her head towards the entrance “Well, what are you waiting for? I could hear those trees calling for you already.” She teased them, and waved her tail in farewell to the three toms as they made their way outside of camp before retreating back into the nursery to look after the four remaining kits.
“Dad! I wanna climb the biggest tree!” Thornkit said the moment that they had stepped out of camp, rushing ahead of Firestar. His amber eyes lit up when hearing Scorchkit’s pawsteps running after him. He and Scorchkit were attached to the hip, his eldest brother always took risks for the thrill while Thornkit always encouraged him. Their poor mother always remained patient when the two brothers were pulling their antics, but one thing's for certain… Thornkit and Scorchkit listened to Firestar (For the most part). Thornkit suddenly went on his hind legs when he was close to a tree, and was observing it carefully “I don’t like that one, too much snow.” He said, making a disgusted face before running off to the next tree. It seemed like his ginger brother was looking for a tree too, it was quite the milestone.. Climbing your first tree!
“Scorch! Are you going to attempt to ride a hawk if we see one?” Thornkit questioned his brother, looking back at him. Scorchkit was the eldest of their litter, him and Tumblekit were already getting bigger than Thornkit and their sisters.. Would a hawk be able to carry him? Perhaps they could test out the theory if Thornkit was able to hold down a hawk while Scorchkit can climb on it’s back. eef100

Despite his father boastful laugh, the sound loud and booming, but he kept the innocent smile on face. He Was not as foolish as his brother, he would not be giving away any secrets. Although he did smirk as it was clear that his father did not believe him to be as innocent as he was trying to paint, grinning with a small shrug of his shoulder. Thornkit on the other hand was trying to convince their father that he was a good little tom. Pale lavender eyes flickered towards the dark brown ticked tabby, laughing softly and moved to where he brushed up against the slightly shorter tom, letting out a small trill. “I did give him another berry though.” He nodded, long legs carrying him after his brother and father.
Ears perking up curiously, as Firestar was gesturing towards the oak tree, nostrils flaring slightly. Wow.. this tree was so much larger than he could’ve ever imagined. That being said, he was far from feeling intimidated, in fact he was feeling challenged as his father’s orange eyes were gazing at them as if in a silent challenge. Smiling, he gave his brother an encouraging flick of his tail against Thornkit’s flank as his white paws pressed into the leaf littered ground, pupils narrowing as the muscles in his haunches flexed.
Jumping onto the root of the tree, chin tilting back as he gazed up towards the tree. Breathing in the scent of the unknown tree before turning back towards her father, grinning cheekily. “Let’s get started.”
