I'LL ALWAYS BELONG IN THE SKY:.☆

benjie and jojo had managed to evade the spotlight up until this point, for the most part at least. at the current moment the two could be found mingling around the medicine cat's den; more specifically, benjie could be found keeping watch while jojo attempted to steal poppy seeds. the problem was, jojo couldn't remember what it was called even though benjie would likely know what he was looking for as the designated Smart Twin, and he could barely remember what it looked or smelled like. at this point, jojo was relying on seeing it and just Knowing... as usual.

benjie sniffed, his ears twitching as he listened to what could only be described as jojo making a mess; winterhymns would not be happy if he ruined the den, and even less happy if he found out it was jojo and benjie that had done it, as much as benjie would have liked to pin all the blame on jojo because he hadn't actually taken part in trashing the place, obviously. the sound of footsteps all around had put him on edge, his long, fluffy tail winding and unwinding itself from around his hindlegs and stomach; he couldn't tell whether they were coming towards he and his twin or whether they were just walking past. nevertheless, the sound of a scuffle inside and a fidgeting benjie always screamed that jojo was getting himself into some kind of trouble, and would definitely attract some attention. "jojo, just come out. if we leave now nobody will know we were here and we won't get in trouble." he pleaded, turning towards the entrance of the den and flattening his ears against the crown of his head.

inside, jojo was trampling all over various patches of moss that were definitely somebody's bed, flattening the plant as he scoured for the little black seeds. he hissed as he heard benjie's pleading, turning around to throw his twin a mischievous gaze with a vaguely upsetting twinkle in his dark, hazel eyes. "go if you want to, benjie, but when i succeed i'll call you chicken." he shot back, turning to continue his search. as he turned, his wiry, twitching tail knocked over a- something, though he didn't care enough to check what it was. he stumbled back a moment as he shoved his face into a patch of cobwegs, whiskers twitching and nose wrinkling as his paw stepped into the vibrant, red berries he'd knocked over while attempting to get the cobwebs off his face.

oh, they were going to be in such trouble when winterhymns found out.

For the Record, this is self-destructive
For the record, I'm aware of that.

Sometimes the girl considered having someone guard the medicine den whenever she and Winter were out doing things. She didn't quite trust the kids in camp and, well, apparently her distrust would be shown today. Carrying a clump of various herbs toward the den she paused at the voices of children. Something that could be described as a grumble left her mouth as she dropped the herbs by the entrance and looked inside. Upon the scene before her she sighed.

"Sombrekit. Shieldkit. May I ask what the two of you are doing? Aside from messing up the medicine supplies, Shieldkit?" She spoke tiredly, looking at his situation. "Stepping in Yew and completely messing up the cobweb.. gods, your father won't be happy." She picked up the bundle she collected and stepped inside. Kids...

[WINTERHYMNS P.]

Winterhymns had been trying to keep things together around this time already deciding that he should give some time for the group to get over the disappearance of Rhinestonestar before holding another medical training session, he wasn't only occupied with leading Palm Glades but teaching Ares what she needed to know since she was his apprentice. It wasn't like he was going to drop her teaching just because of him taking up the responsibilities of legate now, a soft breath leaving the Pendragon man as he left his house within the broad walk not stopping to tend to his garden that morning. He was exhausted to say the least as his mind buzzed with several thoughts, his eyes half closed as his paws touched the sands gently yet the sound of voices made him stop in his tracks. Ares seemed to sound a bit frustrated so, he figured that he should go check on his apprentice as a small smile formed itself onto his maw.

Ah, it seemed that his children were being troublemakers or at least, Shieldkit and Sombrekit as they basically trashed the medicine den where he had worked within for a few days. Most of his herbs coming from the garden he tended to in the mornings, his smile faltered as it shifted into a frown only to speak in a stern voice "Shieldkit and Sombrekit." He took some steps forward as his tail lashed behind him "You know I told you that the medicine den isn't any place for you two to play around in."

I'LL ALWAYS BELONG IN THE SKY:.☆

the sound of ares' voice is what brought benjie from his enraged stupor, still angry at being called a chicken; something he was most certainly not.

unfortunately it was a little too late, for soon after ares appeared, so did winterhymns. the two boys flinched almost in unison, eyes squeezing together and lips pursing in a way that would have been hauntingly similar had they been able to see their faces; their backs were to the other two at the moment, and as such their expressions wouldn't be seen until they turned around unanimously, ears pinned back against their skulls and a guilty look on their faces.

jojo was the first to speak, scraping the remaining cobweb from his face and fluffing up his fur; not that he wasn't already the fluffier of the two twins. "it was sombrekit's idea!" he yelped, pointedly ignoring his father's presence in a way that said 'if i dont acknowledge him i wont get in troule' and in turn aiming his sentence at ares, backing away and treading carelessly in the yew berries once more.

almost immediately, benjie's own short fur stood on end, his fluffy tail lashing from side to side angrily as he rounded on his twin. "you little runt, i'll get you for that!" he hissed, shooting the smaller twin a vicious glare before whirling around to face win and ares. "it was shieldkit's idea! he said i'd be a chicken if i didn't keep watch!" benjie pleaded, letting one of his ears stand up while the other stayed pinned back, his eyes widening into a puppydog expression. the puppy eyes always worked on win, so maybe they would work this time.

[WINTERHYMNS P.]

He watched his own children turn on one another and he let out a soft breath shaking his head slightly, he didn't seem to appreciate being ignored by one of the boys but he supposed that was them trying to get out of the trouble they were currently in. "Now, now boys. I care not whose idea it was, I strictly told you not to play within the medicine den. This holds precious stock that we will need if any of you get an injury or a cut, mixing the herbs around or so to speak... Trashing the place isn't necessarily make finding the correct herbs any easier." He said in a stern tone as he looked at both of his sons with furrowed brows, Winnie would have to be more watchful of all his children to the best of his capabilities especially since he was now legate... He was still a father. It made him wonder if Magnum was preoccupied with the rest of their children and noticed that these two had gotten away, a snort left him at that very thought and it was enough to make his expression soften ever so slightly.

He cleared his throat "Now, off with you. Go out to the beach, it is a lot more appealing than making a mess of things." The legate said with a dismissive flick of his tail, he would probably stay back to help Ares clean up the mess that both Sombrekit and Shieldkit had made.
