@Kipo Oak @Mumble
(just wanted to do a quick response)

Owlfeather's ears perked up as Fallkit entered the den.
"You're just in time, darling. I was just about to tell Mushroomkit a story." She patted the nest in front of her, as an offer for the kit to join them and get all warm and cozy.

"When you're small, it's a bit harder to stay warm," she told him. "I've been through many leaf-bares, my child, it's something you get used to in time. But for now you've got the queens and me to keep you warm."

"While you're here, would you like a story, dear?" She figured that's likely what he came in here for, well, that and to escape the cold. But a warm and cozy story sounded like a nice idea to her.

@Mumble

A loud purr bubbled from mushroomkits throat as he snuggled into Owlfeathers fur, his body curled up in the bend of hers. Warming up by the second, he slowly stopped shivering and laid his head on her paw, gazing up at the elder. This was great! He was all warm and cozy now! He knew he could depend on her to warm him up! But his content smile morphed into a pout, his cheeks puffing out. What? That wasn't fair! He deserved to not get cold too! "Heyyy!" he whined, "Its not my fault i'm a kit! Im plenty old enough to not get cold, just like you Gran!" He huffed, tail thumping against the ground.

Though, his pout quickly changed into a curious look as the elder suggested telling a story. Wow! This was great! He got warm and he got a story? Gran always had the best stories! Talk about a win-win! "A story? I wanna hear a story! Ooh! Ooh! Tell me the one about Riverclan! Y'know, the one you always tell me!" he urged, looking up at her with pleading eyes. For some reason, that one had always been his favorite, and he almost always asked for it whenever he visited. It never seemed to get old, no matter how many times he heard it. Though, he wasn't against a different story! All of Grans stories were super awesome!

The tom-kits ears perked as he heard pawsteps enter the den, and he turned his head around to see another kit padding over. His head ducked so it was was partly covered from view, and he quickly glanced away from the other kit. Embarrassment prickled at his pelt, and he felt his cheeks flush. "Grannnn!" he mewed, his voice lowered into a whisper, "I wanna just be with you!" he looked up at the elder once again, his eyes wide as he stared up at her.

Owlfeather looked down at Mushroomkit and gave him a gentle smile.
"Now, now," she spoke, "It wouldn't be polite to leave anybody out, would it? Other kits like to hear stories, too. Part of being a warrior is working together with others, you know." Owlfeather wouldn't say it as not to pick favorites, but she did have a soft spot for Mushroomkit, as she'd essentially adopted him as a grand-kit.

"You want to hear the one about RiverClan? Alright, then." She nodded, looking then to the other kits who had gathered around. She made sure everybody had a comfortable spot before beginning the story.

"After Windystar died, ShadowClan was left without a leader or a deputy for over a moon. But before his death, Windystar had unfinished business with RiverClan, which left us to feel their wrath. One day, Lionstorm, who was the RiverClan deputy at the time, lead a patrol marching right into the heart of our camp, threatening to destroy us if they couldn't speak to Windystar. Myself as well as a few other senior warriors stood up to them. There was Whiteshadow, and I remember this brave young apprentice Cardinalpaw as well. We had to tell Lionstorm what had happened, after keeping it secret for a considerable amount of time. This was a difficult time for ShadowClan, as we were already dealing with a band of aggressive rogues at the time as well.

Eventually, StarClan chose us a new leader, Icestar. But soon after she was chosen as leader, RiverClan launched a raid on us. Because we had been so weakened by the rogues and previous events, we lost pretty handily to them. But with Icestar's leadership, ShadowClan trained hard and strong, and when RiverClan attacked a second time, we were ready for them. ShadowClan warriors and apprentices alike fought bravely, and we drove them out of our territory. That showed them that we weren't a force to be trifled with!" Owlfeather swiped a claw at some moss nearby for dramatic effect as she spoke of the battle with RiverClan. Oh, how she longed for her warrior days, back when she was nimble and strong.

"And I know you will fight just as bravely when your time comes to defend your Clan." She looked to each of the kits, but her gaze lingered on Mushroomkit and she gave him a pat on the head.

"Owlfeather?" Brokenkit asked quietly, his bent ear pricked to hear and looking sleepy. "Did I miss the story again...?"

~ Duskfern ~ @Spoopy Eclipse ~

(Sorry for my short reply-)

She walked into the elders den, a clump of moss in her mouth. Making a nest for Crowfur. Goody. She gave a muffled “hello” to the melanistic elder. At first she decided to do a small nod, but then realized Crowfur was blind.

~ Crowfur ~

Hearing a noise, Crowfur’s head swung around. She sensed a cat, and the voice sounded like a she-cat’s.
”Hello..?” she made a gesture to ask for the unknown she-cat’s name.

”It’s Duskfern.” she gave a small laugh.
This wouldn’t be too bad. Crowfur wasn’t a cranky elder like others usually were. Not always, anyways. She at least had a sense of humor.
“We’re here to make nests.” Duskfern explained to her.
