disclaimer: this self- roleplay is set in the past, when dawningkit (pipit) is about one moon old. she still lives in the twolegplace. also there's music so click the green flag :3 .. ... .... Light. It tickled at the edge of her vision, nearly making her want to sneeze with the suddenness of it. She didn't, of course, but she was wondering where this illumination was coming from. Darkness was the only reality she had ever known, and the little kitten had tolerated it. Yet she yearned deep down for something more. Something brighter. As if on command, she blinked in one small movement. She was really just peeking her eyes open, only a little bit. Slowly but surely, jade-green eyes graced the world with their presence, a twin pair of curiously glowing jewels. /Woah./ She couldn't express how she felt just yet, perhaps that would come along later. But oh boy, she sure felt it! A little squeak of delight escaped the chocolate-swirled kitten, and she wiggled around slightly. Warmth, she felt warmth. The light was coating her like the softest of blankets, and snuggled against the warm pelts of her littermates and mother, it was like heaven had paid her a visit. And yet.. what was this /feeling/? Hm. Feeling. Up until now, she had only yearned for the warmth of a mother and the sweetness of the milk she brought with her. She had never really thought about.. how she /felt/ until now. Pipit pressed her muzzle against the thick-furred cinnamon and ginger pelt of another kitten. Her littermate, she could already feel the kinship between them. Two fates tied together purely by destiny's paw. She had always felt him there. Felt /them/ there, she fleetingly thought about the warm body pressed snugly against her back. Two chocolate-colored paws came into her view. They were doused with white at the tips, and intricate patterns that both dazzled and distracted her filled her vision. Wait.. where these /her/ paws? The kitten waved them about slightly, watching her paws dance before her. She wondered where the rest of her was.. maybe hiding? Maybe she would find herself one day- she had so much to discover! Pipit had never seen so many wondrous things before, and her precious green eyes softened happily. /Happy./ The feeling was like a flower tucked away in her chest, now blooming and reaching its way towards the sunlight. She welcomed it, the petals that she couldn't see. She didn't have to see them, though. She could /feel/ them. Pipit looked around at everything she had always known. Things were still a lil' fuzzy for her newly-opened eyes, yet she could sense the happiness that filled the air. Oh, she loved how that felt! The small kitten wanted to feel it forever, to be wrapped in joy and never let go. She wanted every day to be like a drop of sunshine, just like it was now. Yes, that's what she'd do! Pipit purred softly, snuggling closer to her two siblings and her mother. Her.. happiness. The jade-green eyes, that yearned to see everything the world had to offer, closed. They would open again soon, ready to face a bright new day. One filled with light, and happiness. For now, she could sleep in sweet serenity.
