The ferris wheel. Shieldkit had studied the structure from afar once or twice, but he had no intention of actually going over to it anytime soon. After all, although he possessed a pattern in the shape of wings on his back, he didn't actually have wings. He had no way of flying up to such a great height, and although he could occasionally be seen as a sort of thrill-seeker, he didn't want to die. Falling from such a height would surely make his head crack open, and as nice as it would be to not remember some things - such as that time when Gunkit had snitched on him for cursing and he'd had to clean up the entire house all by himself - he wasn't exactly in the market for a concussion. It was because of this that Eld had figured none of his siblings would try to scale the towering structure on their own, either. After all, he was clearly the smartest among them, and if he wasn't willing to risk the danger of doing something, then none of the others would, right? At least, that's where his line of thinking went. Unfortunately, it didn't seem as though Wildkit felt similarly.
Shieldkit had been quite comfortable when he caught Wild passing by, the brown pelted kit sitting up on the roof of one of the buildings of the boardwalk. He had actually been laying, really, halfway between sleep and simple people-watching, idly swinging one of his front paws as he watched others pass by. It had been a bit of a pain to make his way up on top of one of the boardwalk huts, but he thought it was worth it. Not only was the sun raining down on his back a very pleasant sensation, but it also meant his siblings couldn't bug him up here. And that did turn out to be true, but instead it seemed as though he would have to bug one of his siblings. Upon spotting Wildkit passing by, Eld found himself curious as to what the other was doing, his head tilting to one side. What exactly was his brother trying to do...? With a weakly annoyed sigh, Shieldkit pushed himself up to his paws, carefully making his way off of the roof in one smooth leap. His legs were slightly shaky as he landed, giving Wild the opportunity to make his way to the ferris wheel before Shield was ready to follow.
Once Shield did go after the other, however, he was shocked to see what Wildkit was trying to accomplish. Eld froze as he saw the way Wild tossed himself forward, a soft squeak of protest leaving his lungs as he shouted, "Wildkit! What are you doing?!" Generally, Shieldkit didn't really consider himself to be the responsible one. That was more Gunkit's bag, with the other's whole "sticking to the rules" thing. However, even Shield was able to see that Wild was doing was stupid - and dangerous. Quickly making his way up and onto the nearby platform, Shield's ears flattened down against his head as the seat cart swayed wildly in response to Wildkit's actions. Having heard the resounding clang of Wildkit's head connecting with the metal of the seat, Shieldkit hesitated for a moment before he spoke again, a frown pulling at his muzzle, "Wild...? Are you still alive? Please don't be dead..." God, if he was around when Wildkit had died, mapa would kill him.
