 | Juniperkit |
Juniperkit watched Frostkit from a shaded corner of the nursery, her bright blue eyes reflecting the complex patterns of light and shadow created by the overcast day. Despite the winds enticing her to play with the rustling palm fronds, Juniperkit’s attention was entirely focused on her sister. Leaning in, she whispered with a conspiratorial grin, “Do you wanna go on an adventure? There’s a secret spot behind the elders’ den. I bet we could wiggle into it, and I don’t think any of the other kits have found it yet.” It could be their special place—if they could reach it without getting caught or questioned by anyone.
She smiled as the wind brought in a faint sweetness of flowering vines that climbed over the barrier-like walls of the camp. As Juniperkit waited for her sister to speak, a small crab scuttled past the nursery entrance, its shell brightly contrasted against the sand. The gaze of the lynx-point kit followed the creature, intrigued by its swift movements. But she caught herself before mentioning it to Frostkit. There’s no point in telling her about it. She thought with some semblance of pity, understanding that her sister couldn’t see the crab and wouldn’t be able to share in the visual excitement. Instead, Juniperkit vowed to keep her senses sharp if Frostkit agreed to venture out of the nursery. She wouldn’t just lead the way for her sister; she would also ensure that each step they took avoided the crabs or any sharp shells.
