Patchkit hadn't really thought twice about exploring the medicine cat's den. That taboo must have escaped him when they were teaching the former barn kit how to be a proper clan cat, but it wasn't a lesson he was about to forget now. While he clambered around inside the hollow he tripped and suddenly found his forepaws wrapped in viscous white webs. Patchkit yipped in surprise and stumbled back, but the cobwebs clung to him stubbornly. He raced toward the nursery and tripped over his paws, faceplanting into the cobwebs stuck to them with a panicked yowl.
Blackkit stared down at the loud newcomer into the den with bored eyes and a raised brow. "If you don't stop making such a fuss the warriors are going to intrude into our den thinking you're being attacked." He couldn't resist pointing out as he pushed to his paws and padded forward. Reaching out a paw to start pulling the cobwebs from the others paws, trying to work quickly if only so Patchkit would stop freaking out.
Juniperpaw heard the commotion in the medicine cat den, but she hadn't seen the small gray kit stumble through the cobwebs. As she ducked her head and stepped out, her gold eyes locked onto the poor kitten speeding away to the nursery. She couldn't help but giggle at him, knowing all too well what must be going through his little head. She swiftly made her way over and listened as Blackkit both scolded and helped his denmate. "Need an extra paw?" She poked her head in and tried to be as quiet as possible, but it was hard to keep the tremor of giggles from escaping as she spoke.
"I doubt that," Patchkit growled back, glaring at the other tom. Was he just going to stand there and make unhelpful comments? Some cats... A moment later Blackkit came over to help and grudgingly he stopped his wiggling to wait until he was properly freed. He craned his neck at the sound of the apprentice's voice and narrowed his eyes. Wasn't it obvious that he needed some help? What, did they think he wanted to be stuck like this?
"No need for the attitude" Blackkit countered placidly with his eyes focused on his work. "I'd appreciate the help Juniperpaw, getting these cobwebs off is like trying to wash honey from ones fur." Not that he knew what that was like, but he had overheard one of the queens complaining about how it had seemed to be stuck within her pelt for days after she had used it as a treat for her kits. The small pile of pulled off cobwebs beside them was ripped and torn from him using his claws to try and keep it from getting stuck on him as well.
Juniperpaw didn't mind the young kits cold shoulder. She was in his place before- suddenly coming into a strange place with strange customs and cats. He wanted to see the world but didn't know where to start. Being an orphan is tough, she knew that truth all too well. Casting her gaze to Blackkit, she asked, "Could you help bring him to the medicine cat den? I think aloe vera will do just the trick here."
His mouth twitched into a scowl, but he didn't deign to answer the other kit. At Juniperpaw's request, he started to rise unsteadily to his paws, but his forelegs were tightly wrapped against each other and he could barely balance on his own, much less walk. Patchkit hissed in frustration as he slid back to the ground. He hated needing help from strangers, but he was well and truly stuck.
Nodding to the medicine cat Blackkit walked over to shoulder some of Patchkit's weight. If he had been larger he would have simply tried to pick the other up a bit, but that would prove a rather ridiculous notion with them both being kits and roughly the same size. Blackkit while taller than most of his denmates was built like a bird with hollow bones and lean structure. Which meant while he shouldered as much of Patchkit as he could it was still slow to the medicine cat. The marbled kit letting out a sigh of relief once they reached it.
Juniperpaw let out a purr of amusement as she watched the kits make their way into her den. Despite being a few moons older than the kits, she stood just a vole taller. Her small blue body rushed about the medicine cat den until she delicately clamped a long green spike. She spit it onto the ground in front of the toms, slowly splitting it with a claw until it began to ooze a strange green goo. "This is aloe vera. It's sticky when you touch it and helps calm the skin when its rubbed on. We usually use it for burns, but I think it'll be perfect for getting the cobwebs off." Breaking the hard leaf in half, she globbed the goo into her paw and began to spread it over the remaining cobwebs that trapped Patchkit.
His dignity shriveled up as the other kit had to help him across camp, and he kept his eyes low, as if it would make him invisible if nobody else saw him. When he sank to the floor of the medicine cat's den, he looked up at the goo Juniperpaw was making and wrinkled his muzzle. He really didn't want that gross-looking stuff smeared in his fur, but if it meant getting out of cobwebs.. "Okay," Patchkit sighed. Then, quieter, he muttered: "I am so never going in this den again."
Juniperpaw couldn't contain her giggles. She felt bad for the kitten, but his situation was just too cute. "I'll make sure to remember that." She purred in amusement. "If you ever get sick or hurt, I'll come to you. You have my word. Even if you get stuck in cobwebs again."
Blackkit resisted the urge to ask what about him if only to be a pain for Patchkit. Still a little miffed the other kit didn't seem to appreciate his help at all. "Should we let you get back to work Juniperpaw? I hope Patchkit didn't disturb you, or make too much a mess. oh! Do you need help cleaning up?" The kit seemed unsure what to settle on and just let it all out in one large burst of air. Wanting to be helpful but unsure it that would be bothersome.
The medicine cat apprentice shook her head as she slid the last cobweb off of Patchkit. "I'm fine here, but thank you for the offer! You guys should actually go back to the nursey and have the queens clean the aloe off. It hardens fast and when it hardens it makes your fur stiff. The queens might not mind the taste, it's actually kind of sweet."
Blackkit looked towards Patchkit a little gleefully, amused that the kit would again have to ask for help. But it would be good for him, to learn to be more accepting of others help. "Alright Juniperpaw. Thank-you for the help!" He chimed, just in case Patchkit wasn't going to. He seemed sort of ungrateful honestly.
He blinked, surprised the apprentice was willing to come to him if he got sick or hurt. He wasn't planning on either, but it was a kind offer all the same, more kind that he expected. "Okay," he muttered, tail drooping as she sent them back to the queens. More cats touching his fur, great. At least he wasn't tangled in the cobwebs anymore. Maybe he could find a puddle to wash off in instead. As he turned back toward the entrance of the den, the gray-and-white tom hesitated, then glanced back over his shoulder.
Grinning, proud of the other kit, Blackkit bounded from the medicine cat den and out into the camp. Wondering if he should continue to try and hand around Patchkit or if he should perhaps make himself scarce. As they hadn't hit it off he felt a little awkward, not wanting Patchkit to think he was annoying. Though he wasn't sure why he cared about the other kits opinion when he hadn't exacty been friendly thus far.
