Embersky
With nothing to do, the large muscular tabby sat bored in the center of camp. Things had been slow lately and after three naps that day, he was about ready for some fun. Looking around, Embersky looked at the only moving creatures here during sunhigh. Kits.
He spotted two of them, a brown and orange duo. The smaller of the pair was chasing a bunny that was stupid enough to run into a camp of hungry cats. When she approached it, he saw her tackle the rabbit to the ground to cuddle. Time to retire, I've seen everything. She would make one pain in the tail apprentice, that was for sure.
Inspiration struck. The medicine cat's deep blue eyes widened and he smiled. Looking around he saw the cat he'd decided to make his next victim. "Hey Hawkflame!" Embersky gestured with his tail for the deep orange-black tom to come closer.

»Hawkflame« It wasn't everyday that cats actually tried having a conversation with Hawkflame, and though he had no intention of giving Embersky the impression that he was 'at his beck and call', Hawkflame was curious enough to walk over to see him. "What do you want?" He snapped none too cheerfully, his fierce green eyes portraying mixed emotions as he looked down on the Medicine Cat of ThunderClan, his black-ringed tail giving a slight twitch.
This had better be good... Knowing Embersky's reputation, however, it was quite clear that the ThunderClan Medicine Cat had absolutely no intention of making life easy for him. Hawkflame could really only brace himself and prepare for the worst. [/color][/font]

Sagekit Sagekit looked up as he heard the silver and black medicine cat call for him and his sister. There was no doubt in his mind that the cat had a smart-alack comment about Sweetkit's behavior. "Come on, let's see what he needs," he mewed to the orange tabby cuddling the rabbit. "You can cuddle your bunny after." He gave her a quick smile while she said her long-winded good bye to her new friend.

Embersky
Surprised but no less pleased that the grim looking warrior had chosen to go to him so easily, he gave a nod of greeting. "No need to be so suspicious, Hawkflame. I don't bite." The fanged grin he gave was anything but reassuring as to that matter. But anyways, on to why you're here. Tell me, do you see that kit just there? The one cuddling the rabbit?" He flicked his tail in the direction of Sweetkit and Sagekit. The brother waiting for his sister to finish her parting words to her bunny.
Sweetkit
The little she-cat looked at the pale-creature she was forced to leave. It's little nose twitched and it's ears pricked as it gazed around the camp. Something told her that the bunny was having trouble understanding her. That was to be expected, she guessed. However, leaving it was hard. With a final lick to it's ear, she let go, promising to be right back. Sweetkit turned to her brother and jumped excitedly. "I wonder what he wants! Can we go see?!"

»Hawkflame« Hawkflame, as though he and Embersky were playing a game with Embersky on the offensive, instinctively went into defensive. "What about it?" He asked snappishly, Hawkflame having the habit of referring to anything that was Leafkit as an "it", regardless of whether or not he actually knew their gender.
Watching as the two kits in question came bouncing over, Hawkflame glanced quickly between the kits and Embersky, his stomach twisting itself into one great big antisocial pretzel in the center of his being. What are you up to, Medicine Cat? Scowling under his breath, the great hulking figure of Hawkflame loomed at Embersky's right, his ears going back against his skull out subconsciously.[/color]

Sagekit Sagekit looked at his sister while she jumped along towards the medicine cat. With a slight smile he followed her quietly. "I guess so." There was a warrior next to the medicine cat and Sagekit was slightly curious himself. "Yes, Embersky?" he said, bowing his head in greeting.

Embersky
The medicine cat bent down to address the two kits, ignoring Hawkflame's question. "Hello Sagekit, Sweetkit. I was just watching you two and I noticed that this one likes bunnies." He watched the little she-cat nod and gave yet another grin. "Well, it just so happens that Hawkflame here is also a fan of them. And guess what, I got a message from StarClan saying he should be your new mentor!"Sweetkit
Blinking, the ThunderClan kit took a moment to take those words in. When she finally processed them she gave a mew of happiness. "Really?! A sign from StarClan?!" What had she done to get picked to be such an great warrior's apprentice. Whatever it was, Sweetkit was glad and jumped around excitedly. Turning, she gazed at the scary-looking cat next to Embersky. "Yea!" As if Hawkflame had been a bunny, she buried her nose in his fur and cuddled him. "You're so amazing."

»Hawkflame« Hawkflame's jaw dropped in complete shock. SAY WHAT?! A fan of bunny rabbits?! Since when?! Bristling with a mixture of anger, shock and absolute irritation, Hawkflame threw Embersky a glare that would've scorched the earth had the Medicine Cat not been sitting on it. "I don't know what the featherbrained moron is telling you, but I'm not your mentor and I don't like bunnies, so get off me." Hawkflame muttered coldly, his eyes locking onto the little orange fluffball nuzzling his side. He shied away as if she carried some kind of horrible disease - his fierce green eyes locking onto Embersky next. "I didn't come over here to be your play thing, Medicine Cat, so unless you actually have something important to tell me, I suggest you keep a lid on it." This was Hawkflame's version of negotiating. Nicely.

Sagekit So that was what the medicine cat was up to. He became uninterested in the silver and black tabby, and opted to focus on his sister. "I'm sure he doesn't mean anything by not liking rabbits, Sweetkit," he consoled her before she could take the warrior the wrong way- though that's probably how he meant it. Secretly, he was glad she got a mentor that could deal with kits, and hopefully her peculiarities. That's what makes her special. I hope he realizes that.

Embersky
"Plaything?" Embersky pretended to look hurt by this. "I am being completely serious. I'd never make anyone, especially you, my play thing." With a yawn, the medicine cat watched with amusement as Hawkflame's face twisted into an unreadable mix. "I was really under the impression that you liked rabbits. They're totally your kind of animal." Sweetkit Sweetkit blinked confusedly at Hawkflame. Her pale blue eyes scanned him in an attempt to understand just what was going on between the two older cats. Turning once to nod at her brother, she looked back at the warrior. "Oh, it's okay if you don't like bunnies!" She gave him a reassuring smile. Padding back so she was nuzzling him again. She understood perfectly fine what he meant at least."But there's no need to be afraid! They're really harmless!"

»Hawkflame« It took every ounce of Hawkflame's self restraint not to thwack Embersky over the head with an unsheathed paw, his green eyes turning venomous in their stare at the ThunderClan Medicine Cat. At Sweetkit's words, however, Hawkflame made a weird strangled noise from the middle of his throat, the sound one of complete surprise and pure disbelief.
Afraid of bunnies? Who in their right mind had told her THAT? "I'm not afraid of bunnies. And will you stop doing that?!" He snapped, nudging Sweetkit back towards her brother and giving himself a little shake - as if to rid himself of the ridiculousness of the situation. Turning his eyes back on Embersky, Hawkflame's frustration grew even more visible as he let out a cold, murderous growl. "Don't you have things to do, Medicine Cat?" Hawkflame inquired darkly, "What with you being so important and all that." Hawkflame was trying to get out of this as carefully and unharmed as possible.[/color][/font]

Sagekit Sagekit nuzzled his sister quietly. "Where's your friend?" he asked, hoping she wouldn't take Hawkflame's words in the way he meant them. Not all cats have to hate bunnies. It may not be normal, but it's not bad. "Where did it go?" He was refering to the small bunny she was cuddling just a bit ago. "Would you like me get you another?" he asked, quickly regretting his question as he saw it on the fresh-kill pile. "There's one right over-" he was about to say by the medicine cat's den, then that one died, and he moved his direction towards the nursery. "Over there."

Embersky
"Why, Hawkflame, did you ever consider that me helping you to get out your inner fears of rabbits is an important thing for me to do?" The medicine cat asked, doubled over in ball of amusement. "Bunnies..." Embersky choked out, "That'll last me the whole week!" Whatever it cost him, whether claw marks or something broken, that'd cheer him up. Hm...maybe a scratch or two would send him to Tealeaf. Oooh...I never considered that...Sweetkit
Tilting her head in a clueless manner, Sweetkit just nodded, not having the slightest clue what was happening anymore. Turning back to Sagekit, who was always there to help, she blinked. "New one? Why would I need a-" The tiny she-cat cut off as she noticed her friend on the top of the fresh-kill pile, neck freshly snapped. Bending her head, she let out a wail of grief. "Why does this always happen?!"

»Hawkflame« Sweetkit's sudden outburst caused the dark-furred, fierce-eyed ThunderClan tom to give a start, his eyes narrowing at the uncalled for noise. What's HER problem? The cat's spine bristled instinctively, as if glancing around to see what had been the cause of her grief - equating her wail with the approach of danger.
Whirling on Embersky now, Hawkflame bristled further, having been far from forgetting the silver and black-striped tom in the distraction Sweetkit's wail had provided. "Why don't you go do something useful with your time, Medicine Cat. I don't have a fear of rabbits, so get that stupid idea out of that thick skull of yours." Growling all the while, Hawkflame paused a moment to groom the end of his tail, seemingly ignoring the kits despite them being in close proximity to the burly ThunderClanner.[/color]

Sagekit Knowing how his sister could be calmed, Sagekit rushed to get her a new friend. "I'm sure it was an accident Sweetkit," he mewed after setting the furry creature in front of her. "How about this one?" he gave her the best smile he could muster and sat down by her, getting her to look at the bunny. With more words of comfort Sagekit slowly but surely calmed his sister down so she only occasionally sniffled. "That's better now, isn't it? Nothing to worry about." He nudged the new rabbit towards her in hopes she would forget entirely about her other friend faster than normal.
