"No, but she'll take care of us all the same. Smokefur said that Flowerheart will care for us now. Flowerheart - that's her name," the small calico looked up at the cat she'd hardly ever met, purring gently and butting her tiny head against the she-cat's forelegs. "Thanks for watching us. Rushwhisker is annoyed that she can't care for us ourselves, but she told me that as long as you loved us as if we were your own she'd guide your pawsteps as a mother."

Finchkit tilted her head, studying Mottlekit. There was a pause before the young kit shrugged and turned to Flowerheart, "Now what?" she squeaked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bristlebramble had to resist snarling at Streampaw and Bluepaw as the she-cats touched Littlewing. She's trying to help her, that's all. Calm down... He glanced at Mudclaw, "But - but she'll be ok? She'll live?"

With a tense twitch of his tail, Redrunner took in Dawnpaw's words. "Careful," he muttered, taking a few steps forward toward the bushed Dawnpaw had been pointing out. "Wait here," he said, loping into the bushes. There was a pause before he came out with another mouse in his teeth, "Just a mouse!" he called, throwing it at his apprentice's paws. "Now, where's Oceanbreeze got to? She ought to be back by now with some prey..."

(And no, there's not going to be any more cat deaths for a bit)

Dawnpaws fur laid flat now, feeling embarrassed. She picked up the mouse and walked up to redrunner.

Oceanbreeze came back with a mouse and a rabbit.

Littlewing took the herbs bluepaw had given her and ate them. She looked at Bristlebramble beside her. "Calm down. They're going to help me" she assured him.
@Silvershadow
Streampaw nodded and went to go find some sticks. She came back with what he had asked her to get and gave it to him.

Redrunner nodded to the two, "This is a good haul. Three mice, a rabbit and a sparrow. Let's get back to camp," he began to pad back into camp and spotted Blazingflame.
@Silvershadow

"Want some help getting to the medicine den?" he offered his shoulder to the larger tom in support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grovekit blinked at the fresh-kill pile in front of him, "StarClan, that's a lot of prey. Can we start with something small?" he squeaked, looking immensely overwhelmed.

"Like a mouse?" Finchkit suggested, trotting forward and pulling the small rodent from the pile by its tail, "It smells yummy," she announced. Mottlekit's ears flicked as she observed. Like her siblings, her eyes glittered with hunger and she glanced at Flowerheart as if asking for permission.

The large tom's ear flicked at Redrunner's question, wincing slightly. "There was a badger den near the border. I was able to chase it off though."

Flowerheart purred loudly as she watched the three kits, nodding to Mottlekit as the small she-kit looked up at her. "Take small bites to start though."

Mudclaw stepped back, giving her some poppy seeds to help her sleep and stinging needle to help with the swelling. Bluepaw watched, taking note of the herbs being used.
