The she-cat had always been content in the nursery, doing her best to aid the queens and kittens; even if she wasn't born in the warmth of WindClan, she still grew up surrounded by the yellow-flowered gorse. It was her home, and every time she stepped inside, Snailflower could feel it.
Out of the corner of her eye, she could make out the lithe calico body of Gorsebird and offered her a quiet chirp in greeting while stepping up to a shallow nest. The soiled moss had already been carried away by an apprentice, so the brown warrior set her bundle of fluffy beige down in the center so it's owner could arrange it how they saw fit.

Gorsebird let out a tiny hum in acknowledgment looking at the sleek-bodied bird with weary eyes. Waxwing were one of her favorites and yet the prey would probably remain untouched. "Thank you... Slugblossom," she mewed, not quite remembering the she-cat's name, "It's lovely that you would think of me." Gorsebird uttered flatly not really have the strength to put fake emotion in her voice.
