Ebonymist watched with heart-breaking agony as the other male kit began stumbling blindly around, trying to find the stillborn kit she held gently close to her. She bowed her head, her heart flooding with regret and helplessness, gently picking up the male kit and bringing him over to his siblings before looking down at the dead child between her paws. She nuzzled the poor thing gently before nudging it towards Daydream and Lostface with widened eyes, trembling ever so slightly. "This one didn't make it." She meowed mournfully before turning her attention to the three squirming kits beside her, curling her tail around them protectively and nuzzling each one. "This one shall be Asphodelkit." She murmured, gently rasping her tongue over the larger kit's head. "And this, this shall be my little Gingerkit." She nudged the smaller female as she named her, her eyes gentle. "This one is will be my darling Infernokit." She nudged him back towards his siblings. Her gaze landed on the final, deceased kit and it felt like there was a large lump in her throat. "And this is- was Salamanderkit." She finished, her ears flicking back.
