kotik (he/him) | loner
Kotik still had yet to properly learn where each of the Clans' territories laid. Apparently, as much as he'd learned, there were three different Clans, though the names weren't quite sticking. It didn't help that he was trying to learn how all these cats conversed anyways, using an entirely different vocabulary and way of speaking in comparison to how he used to converse back home.
The one Koisplash belonged to was... SplashClan? No, ShoreClan. All he could remember was that they were near the water and they liked to swim. Just the image in his head of the she-cat taking the water was amusing to him. He'd never heard of cats who enjoyed swimming before. Of course, he knew lots of cats who loved fish - he always loved to spend time around the lyudi who would throw their string on a stick into the water until fish emerged. He could remember the way they purred in amusement when he and his sister would pounce on a floundering fish as it was pulled from the water and onto land.
Then there was GillClan? No, HillClan - that made more sense, yes? They were the ones out on the open land who ran after rabbits. But Kotik could have sworn the name started with a harder sound. Ah well, he knew that he had yet to meet anyone from that Clan. And the last one... oh goodness, what was the name?
Kotik wracked his brain, frustrated that it wouldn't come to him. He tried to give himself a bit of a break, though, knowing that he was already learning so much. Besides, it wasn't as if there was some sort of test, or truly any reason to get upset. He knew that if he asked Koisplash again the names of the Clans, she would give him that sweet look and remind him again. But there was a strange part of him that almost wanted to impress her.
Today was a new day, though! He wanted to explore new places, and was enjoying moving through a slightly more forested area. The large tom has passed by a river earlier, and wondered if SplashClan cats liked to swim here, too.
But what really took Kotik's attention was some large, strange looking trees nearer to the water. He was absolutely mesmerized looking at the long, hanging leaves as they seemed to flow towards the ground. From far away, it looked as though it had been leaves as long as several cats, but upon closer inspection, it almost seemed as though there were lots of leaves hanging off of branches almost like feathers. The branches were not as solid as most trees he'd seen before, seeming as though they would sway in the lightest wind. Kotik wondered just how beautiful that would look, and told himself he would have to come here on a windy day. How he'd love to watch the branches dance in the wind, and imagine the music that the world would make around him.
