She bounded through the near empty clearing, slowly slinking into the rather crowded warriors den, "mama?" she would mew, weaving through the nests quickly to stay away from the large crowds as much as possible. the kit shoved herself into her mother's green-gray and white fur, dozing off in the fluff. ☾ roleplay example with disorder example: auburnkit sat in the centre of the clearing, cats of all ages surrounding her, though not with the intention of terrifying her. The kit's vision blurred as she started to tremble, her heartbeat quickening as her cobalt blue orbs darted around, narrowing as more and more cats started to sit near her. auburnkit started taking in short breaths, nearly collapsing before her adoptive mother came by, comforting her slightly as her heartbeat lessened in pace. ╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ☾ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮ ` ` ɪᴛ'ꜱ ᴡᴏʀꜱᴇ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜ ` ` ╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ☾ ── ⋅ ⋅ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯ viii. closing ─── ⋆⋅☾⋅⋆ ── ☾ well then, that concludes my auburnkit application.
