Lilykit chuckled softly. "I guess so," she replied. She gazed out and through the rain she could see some of the warriors and apprentices huddling under bushes and shrubs.
She felt slightly bad for them. They had dens, but those dens weren't as well-protected or thick-walled as the nursery. Then again, one day that might be her, having to curl under bushes to make sure she didn't get soaked. She wouldn't like that, but it might happen. She'd never know. She stretched and poked at the mud with her paws. "What if it floods?" she wondered aloud. There she was, fretting again.
Lilykit, since she could walk and open her eyes, had been one to worry. She never wanted to climb trees with the other kits, worrying and fretting that someone would fall, slip, trip, get a cut or a scratch, or something worse. She'd never even watch as the other kits would clamber up the tree, she'd just hide in her bush and cover her eyes with her paws, turning away so she didn't have to risk seeing one of the kits fall.
Over the moons, Lilykit had stopped hiding in the shrub, and only did it occasionally, when she really needed alone time to think, and Sparrowkit had been at least smart enough to learn not to bother his sister while she was in her bush.
Lilykit was snapped from her thoughts when Sparrowkit strolled up. He had grown a lot over the moons, and was as big as Fogpaw and Shrewpaw now. "Aww, is it still raining?" he complained.
