Pantherkit's ears swerved to the sound of another cat nearby. It wasn't Wildflower or Shadowstar, was it? She froze, a black bundle of fur among white snow and sticking out like a sore paw. It wasn't until she spotted a warrior who was definitely not one of the authoritative queens, that she relaxed, puffed out her chest and strode over to him.
"Hey, YOU!" She mewed. "You're a warrior, right?" She demanded, bright yellow eyes looking him up and down. He was big and he looked strong too. He didn't have much of a tail, which was weird, but maybe he lost it in some epic battle. Yes... yes, it's was all coming together. She could make this cat her warrior! If she could prove herself to this cat of being a good leader, surely everyone else would fall in line too, right?
"I'm going to be the leader one day, so you have to do what I say!" She informed him, trying to fluff up her fur to make herself look bigger. Instead, the small cat just looked more, well, fluffy. "Got it?"

Minnowflash had opened his mouth, about to ask this kit why she had stumbled out of the nursery by herself when she very boldly declared he listen to every word she had to say. Blinking, he tilted his head. "Oh? A-alright?" he said in shock, still staring down at the tiny, now puffy, black fuzball.
Was this the kind of games kits played these days? All he could remember was never getting to sleep thanks to his sister.
With so many black kittens joining the clan, it was hard to tell which was which, so he was at a loss for who this one might be. "You aren't leader yet t-though...so maybe we s-should make sure Shadowstar and Wildflower don't find you out here in the cold, hmm?" he asked with a smile, taking a step forward as if to scoop her up.

MInnowflahs blinked and it seemed before he could even process what to say, the kitten was off and waddling away....sort of towards the entrance?
“Ah... no! Wait!” He gasped as he got to his paws and started off at the kitten almost full speed, forgetting for a moment that she was, well, a kitten. It really didn’t take much to catch up to her. “K-kits really...aren’t s-s-supposed to be outside the camp!” He blinked, sort of tip toeing awkwardly around the kitten, afraid to just reach in and grab her.
Sighing, he shook his head, whiskers twitching as he seemed to hold his breath before finally letting it out. “Ok... j-j-USt for a little bit...and were not going to far.” He decided out loud, steering Panterkit towards the entrance. “And d-don’t leave my side....p-please.” He added as an after thought.

Pantherkit looked up at Minnowflash, wondering if she'd really have to bite him and if Wildflower and Shadowstar would be upset with him if she bit him. She wondered if she could come up with an excuse to make them not be upset with her. Like 'I thought he was a fish' or something. She was imagining how that would go over, when she was abruptly picked up.
Letting out a mewl of surprise, tiny claws appeared and then she squirmed, until she adjusted to being picked up. When she was put down between his paws, she stared out at the river, round eyed. Leaning against one of Minnowflash's paws, she purred.
"It's so coooool!" She mewed, before a new idea popped into her head. Sure, she could tell her siblings about how she'd seen the river, but what would be even cooler is if she could jump over it! But how would she get there without Minnowflash trying to stop her? She knew she could do this! She was looking around at the ground when a slight movement caught her attention. "There's a beetle on your paw!" She shrieked and launched herself forward, away from the bug, her burst of speed sending her stumbling forward. She had wanted to be free of his paws, though she could've done without the scare... Still not one to miss a chance, she let out a triumphant. "Leader leap!" And launched herself into the river. She didn't even make it half way across and landed with a small splash.
Paws flailed as water filled her nose. She should've cleared that jump, why didn't she? Kicking wildly, her head broke through the surface of the water. Was the warrior still around? "Minn-" She gasped, before spluttering water. Would he be too mad at her jumping into the river to come get her? Trying to grasp any sense of direction between the water, she struggled to stay afloat through it all, a bobbing black head among the ripples. She would apologize for being mouse-brained if he saved her! She would apologize a lot forever! But if he didn't... Then she needed to try to save herself, like a real leader would!

Minnowflash finally managed to let himself purr softly when the kitten seemed to lean into his leg and be content. "It really is..." he had started to say when she mentioned a beetle on his paws.
Blinking, he glanced at his paws and spun in a circle, trying to find said beetle, not realizing the kitten had just flung herself into the river. "I don't see..... Pantherkit?" he called and blinked, looking up just as he saw a tiny black figure land in the water with a bloop.
"No..." he gasped, shaking his head. She hadn't been crazy enough to just jump in...had she? Blinking again, he saw her little head rise above water then fall. The grey tom cat shot off like lightning, almost leaving his fur behind as he took a full leap with all his strength, landing in the water with a bigger and louder splash. "PANTHERKIT!!!" he screamed, paddling towards her as quickly as he could. When he reached her just as she was about to go under again, he sunk his teeth into her scruff. He'd apologize later.
Throwing his head back to keep her above water, Minnowflash strained to see around the black soaked furball, padding towards the direction of land without stop. The second his paws touched firm ground beneath him he hauled himself on land, dashed away from the river towards a sunny spot, set Pantherkit down and proceeded to vigorously groom her to get her warm.

Pantherkit wasn't sure which way she was going, but once she felt teeth bite into her scruff, she stopped paddling, relief and exhaustion taking its hold on the small kit. Not long afterwards, they were on the land again and she stared at her paws, teeth chattering against one another.
"I-I thought I could j-j-jump over." She admitted, looking properly abashed. "Sh-Sh-Shadowstar could jump o-over it, r-ri-right?" She mewed, looking up at Minnowflash with frightened dismay all over her face. "How can I be a l-leader, if-if I can't jump it?" She ducked her head, certain he was mad at her and she was feeling properly fish-brained herself. Moving and tucking herself as close to one of his paws as she could, she slowly started to lick her tongue against his paw. She couldn't do as good of a job grooming the water off his pelt like he did to hers-she was already feeling warmer-but she could try right?
"I'm s-s-sorry, Min-Minnowflash. Don't be m-mad. I'll get you d-dry." She mewed gloomily. "Please don't tell Sh-Shadowstar. She won't make me a leader ever if she knows I can't j-jump the river." She eyed him, feeling miserable. "We can go home...I'll be good."

Pantherkit blinked in surprise when it was revealed that Shadowstar hadn't been able to intially jump over the river. Her brow furrowing, she asked. "I thought her leadership had something to do with the river though. Like, she jumped over the river when she was younger and then they made her leader." She mewed. She vaguely remembered the medicine cat, Stonebelly, saying something like that to the apprentices. (She hadn't realized he had been teasing them at the time.)
Flicking her ears, she nodded at last. "I'll... wait till I'm a little bigger. And stronger." She looked up at him with a grin. "I'm gonna get so strong that everyone's gonna look at me and go 'Wow, Pantherkit's so strong!' Except I won't be called Pantherkit at that point, I'll have gotten my warrior name, like... Pantherclaw or Pantherheart or Panther...well something cool!" She purred.
At the mention of no more adventures, she snorted, but nodded. "No more adventures." She replied, but inwardly added. Today, that is. With a smile on her maw. "Let's go home."
((I'd say this is a good stopping point! Thanks for the RP, it was super fun!))
