FOG || Orchidkit and Mothkit

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit sits in her nest at the corner of the Nursery, lurking in the darkness. She has a precious rock between her paws.

MOTHKIT
Mothkit kneaded her paws in her nest. Glancing around the nursery before Orchidkit's green eyes catch her attention. She jumps slightly before giving a little wave.

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit jolts too, not expecting the attention. She tries to copy what Swanpaw did to her earlier and waves back at Mothkit, mustering up a nervous, friendly smile!

MOTHKIT
Mothkit already is dreading this interaction, and stuffs her head in her nest and groans. But it would be rude to just leave Orchidkit without smiling back, so with disheveled fur she pops her head back up and smiles weakly.

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit misses Mothkit's groan, and continues waving, but is still too shy to come over. Plus, she doesn't want to leave her rock... perhaps she could talk from here instead...? The kitten musters up a quiet, stammering greeting!

MOTHKIT
Mothkit perks her ears up straining to hear what Orchidkit said. ”W-what?” She frowns slightly and tilts her head in confusion at the other kit. ”I-i d-didn’t hear you...sorry.”

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit swallows, feeling bad because of the faint frown on Mothkit's face! "S-sorry...! I... um... h-hello, I-I'm Orchidkit...!"

MOTHKIT
As realization crosses Mothkit's face, she begins to stammer. ”O-oh...oh! H-hi... i-i’m Mothkit.” She focuses on the rock near Orchidkit. ”R-rocks aren’t c-comfy...” She points at the rock in the grey and white kit’s nest.

ORCHIDKIT
At least she's gotten a name! "I g-guess so...?" Orchidkit replies shuffling the rock up with her two paws so that Mothkit can see it better. "B-but Goldenlion g-gave it to me n' I... um... th-think it's r-real cool!"

MOTHKIT
Mothkit padded closer to Orchidkit to get a better look. She gave the rock a sniff before sneezing on it. ”G-goldenlion? I-is that a plant? I-it’s a n-nice rock though... very r-rock-ish.”

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit leans back to let Mothkit get a better view of the rock. "Goldenlion i-is t-the cat who... um - save- saved me! And th-thank you, I think... um... the rock likes to b-be rock." She really hopes she's not messing up this interaction! Mothkit seems docile and nice! "A-are you okay? Um, y-you sneezed a b-bit..."

MOTHKIT
Mothkit shifted closer, inspecting the rock. "Oh... S-scorchtrail found me... h-he's nice but doesn't give me rocks." She patted the rock as if she was patting someone on the head. "Y-yeah I think it does too. R-rocks like s-staying as rocks." She smiled a bit wider at Orchidkit, rubbing her nose a bit. "Y-yeah, I'm good."

Mothkit pouted as she looked at the rock, "R-rocks are cool. I want a r-rock one day."

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit keeps it to herself that she thinks Goldenlion must be better than Scorchtrail then. "I-if y-you're sure...! B-but if y-you ever feel um... un-unwell, I can h-help walk you to Swanpaw and Remedy... although it's... scary..." She offers. "I-I think rocks help s-scare away sickness. I... I... um... d-don't think- think I've been feeling b-bad since Goldenlion got me this rock!"

MOTHKIT
Mothkit furiously shakes her head, ”N-no,no. I-i’m okay, i-it wasn’t a ‘i’m sick’ s-sneeze... a-at least i don’t think so. Oh no... w-w-what if i’m sick! I d-don’t wanna be sick...” Mothkit excaimed as she shuffled back a few steps so she wouldn’t get Orchidkit sick as well. She pouted, ”A-aw that’s so cool.... y-your rock m-must have magical powers... r-regular rocks u-usually don’t do that.”

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit's fur begins to rise in worry. "I-I dun- I don't w-want you to be sick either! L-like... not because I don-don't like y-you or anything but I d-don't want you to g-get sick," she stammers, her nerves spiking as her words trip over one another. "Y-you c-can come back and touch the rock... m-... p-perhaps it'll help!"

MOTHKIT
Mothkit even felt like she was gonna be sick. Quickly pressing a paw to the rock, she exhaled slowly. After a minute of dead silence, she perked up, ”Hm? I-i feel better already! T-thank you magical r-rock, a-and you too.” Wow. She really needed to get some magical item as well if they were this great.

ORCHIDKIT
This is odd, and Orchidkit's still mousy, but she feels relatively positive that this interaction with a cat her age is going pretty well...! Well, better than her meeting with Spiderkit, at least. She lets out a purr. "N-no problem. I-I'm always h-here in t-this corner of the N-nursery i-if y-you need me or the rock... u-unless y-you want me to g-go away! I can do that too!"

MOTHKIT
No! Mothkit didn’t want her to leave. She briefly flailed her paws around, ”N-no. P-please don’t g-go! Y-you can stay... or w-well this is your spot a-and I wouldn’t d-dare to kick you out of it s-so i’d probably have to l-leave...d-did you want me to leave?!” She backed away, about to turn tail and probably cry to Spiderkit on how someone doesn’t like her. ”S-sorry! I-i can go!”

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit's fur spikes, and it's not long before she's stammering and whimpering the same way Mothkit is too, filling the Nursery with the sound of two distressed introvert children. "O-oh- i-if you're sure! P-please d-don't l-leave too, um --- if-if a-anything I sh-should b-be the one- the one g-going! I-I- u-um... um..." her gaze drifts down and when she looks back up at Mothkit, Orchidkit looks like she might cry! "I-I am selfish! I-I wan-wanna h-have y-you around!"

MOTHKIT
She sniffled to herself, pawing lightly at the ground. ” O-oh okay... I-i can stay.” Mothkit trembled, glancing up at Orchidkit and freezing when she saw the kit on borderline tears. ”N-no! Y-you’re not s-selfish, don’t say that! I-i w-wanna stay around too! S-see then w-we’re both selfish...” She crept closer to the other, stretching out her paws in case Orchidkit wanted a hug.

ORCHIDKIT
Orchidkit doesn't know what Mothkit's doing, with her outstretched paws, but the other kitten's admission that she's also selfish makes her feel as if she's not alone. Instead of enveloping Mothkit in a traditional hug, she reaches out with both her paws to let their paw pads meet instead, like they're holding hands. "I-I-I... o-ok- ok-kay! T-that's a-alright... if y-you're sure..."

MOTHKIT
Mothkit has no clue what Orchidkit is doing but if it makes her feel better Mothkit's willing to allow it. It wasn‘t what she was expecting to say the least but it was still cute and fairly comforting. ”Y-yeah! C-come on l-let’s be h-happy! N-no more sad thoughts! G-got it!” She pulled away one of her paws to boop Orchidkit on the nose, giggling as she place her paw back against Orchidkit's.

ORCHIDKIT
"O-okay..!" Mothkit is nice, Orchidkit decides, and thinks that she's relatively happy to made a comrade her age! This is something that she has to tell Goldenlion later!
