OH BITCHY LJ IS BITCHY. Second time trying to post this. Anyway, story about my crazy kittens, 335 words, no warnings needed.
The cat slipped out from under the table, darting between the legs of the Inn's patrons, a flash of black over the floor. ~Where did she go THIS time?~ Deirl's tail whipped back and forth as he scampered into the back alley, searching for his often wayward sister. "Miget!!" he hissed softly. "You'd better not have gone down to the beach again... You know it always gets you into trouble..." Jumping up and across the city's rooftops, Deirl headed for the docks.

Miget crouched at the side of the tide pool, hidden from the fishermen passing overhead by a rock outcropping. She swung a paw at a crab, swiftly out of the way before the shelled creature retaliated, large claw snapping shut just behind her fur. The adventurous one grinned. Miget had never quite been able to understand why her mother and siblings hated the water so, it was so interesting. Pawing and a sea squirt, the kitten purred when the seawater came flying out and landed in the tide pool with a splash.
"Miget!!! Where are you!!" Her black ear twitched backward towards the sound of her brother's mewl. Deirl hopped down from the dock into the hidden alcove, being careful to not get his paws wet, unlike his soaked sister. "There you are." he paused. "You stink again. Nameless isn't going to let you in the kitchen..." Miget shook her head with a giggle.
"He'd let me in, even if I only bring the fish." Another odd thing, why would her entire family love fish but hate the sea so? Deirl sighed.
"Fine then, but when Mom finds out you stayed out here again don't come running to me." He scampered back up the rocks, pausing on the docks to shake a bit of seashell off his foot before running off. Miget sighed, smiling slightly, before curling up into a ball. Her purrs could be heard for hours afterward, bewildering fishermen who knew nothing of the sea cat that played under their docks.
<3 kities.
