Her exceptional perception did not miss the pile of leaves, bunched into a suspiciously cat-shaped bundle; it did, however, miss the actual cat underneath, and Sunkit jumped as the leaves suddenly addressed her. Without thinking, she hammered her paws down into the pile and pummeled the leaf monster viciously. "Die, leaf monster!" It was only after most of Guppykit's cover was strewn around them on the ground that she realized it was a clanmate, not some malevolent forest sprite, that had disguised himself, and she sneered, "And just what did you think you were doing?"

She fluffed up her coat rather indignantly. "Only a dummy would cover themselves like that and expect not to get hit!" Sunkit snapped at him, most of her anger at this point fueled by embarrassment, having really thought he was a sentient leaf monster. "Besides, if you're so cold, why not go cry to your mommy and cuddle up to her?"

"Thanks." Another cat might have acknowledged his bruised feelings and obvious pain at the mention of family, but Sunkit seemed visibly uncomfortable. She shuffled her paws and glanced elsewhere around the camp for some escape route but came up empty. "Well," she hedged instead, "how are you gonna entertain me? Put on a show, leaf-boy."

Interested wasn't the word Sunkit would use, more like desperate. But she was short on options, so she said, "Yeah, sure, a game. Whatever. Just make sure it's fun." She feigned authority over the matter when really her lack of suggestions stemmed from the fact that she didn't play enough games to think of even one. Fun meant something different to her than most.

"The last game I played was with Fisherkit. We killed all the sky ants." Guppykit, for the first time, would catch sight of the smallest grin on Sunkit's maw as she recalled the game. She had been just as reluctant to partake in that one but it had ended up being pretty fun (fat chance of her admitting it). "Other than that, I dunno. What's the most fun?"

(no problem! hope you're doing okay!)

"Hmmm, no that won't do," she said after a long, pensive pause. "We need to make our own game. Something really, really fun and then everyone else will be jealous." She did not have the best motives, really, but this was a rare glimpse of a not bitter and biting Sunkit. Her vibrant blue gaze scanned across the camp in search of something that would interest her-- and that's when she saw it. "C'mon, Guppykit. Over here."

(I'm not sure where I'm going with this yet so feel free for guppy to catch on if you have any ideas xD if not I'll make up something random next post)

"Mhmm," she confirmed when he spoke up behind her, and she brushed her tail across the stones as they got up to them. "I told you we were gonna make our own game, right? We'll just need to borrow one of these for a while." Sunkit selected the prettiest one-- that glinting jade stone-- and beckoned Guppykit over to the far side of camp where a puddle must have iced over during the night. "So we can use this and skid it across the ice, like this." She swatted the stone with her paw and watched it skid across the ice until it reached the dirt on the other side. "We can have, uhhh, goals on both sides and we have to keep the rock from hitting our goals or the other one gets a point. Doesn't that sound like fun?"
