"Ahhh" He shrieked wobbling slightly on his feet, "The horror! The horror I shall truly meet StarClan today!" Nimblewhisker hoped his performance was at least entertaining Leapkit because he was feeling like a total doofus.

Leapkit stifled a purr, apparently oblivious of the embarrassment she was bringing upon Nimblewhisker. "Die, you coward!" She rolled on her back, kicking up her back feet in a feeble attempt to attack his stomach.

Gorsebird stretched, barely suppressing a yawn. Motherhood could be oh so tiring and she was glad that she finally had Tawnykit and Streamkit down for a nap after having to deal with their banter for what seemed like seasons. It wasn't that she hated kits it was just that she never thoughtshe would have them! But, then had been the pressure from her parents to keep the bloodline going, the full-time queens insentiently telling her to settle down and, ... Stormgaze. Speaking of which where was Stormgaze? He should've been back from the hunting patrol and, the tom-cat did seem to have made a habit of visiting her at least every day. Had he just forgotten? He better not have! They had a reputation to keep up!

A grey tabby tom walked into the nursery, a rabbit hanging from his jaws. He look around the nursery, his eyes showing a hint of tiredness. He didn't mean to be late more or less the patrol was out longer than he hope. Stormglare walked over to his beautiful mate, Gorsebird. Dropping the rabbit at her paws. "Sorry, love that I'm late. I was kept out longer that I hope to be." he sighed, sitting down next to her. He figured the kits would have wore her out already and she would be asleep. Stormglare was a bit lucky for that to have not have happen yet, not wanting to argue when she did awake. A yawn escaped his maw, "How are you?" He asked. His tail curling up at his side, he returned his gaze back to her. A hint of a glare in it but it was a usual look for him. Stormglare always seem to be just glaring a tiny bit, his appearance was rather scary either way. Having scars over his pelt from battle. He was a strong tom, however he promised to always return from battle to his family. He didn't want to leave them yet, even if his mate and him had their differences.

"Alone is fine," Ploverpelt mewed. "And no offense taken. I understand completely." She brushed her tail against Nimblewhisker's cheek as she bounded across the springy grass.

The Somali cat held her jaws open, tasting the air for scents of prey. She didn't expect much in leaf-bare, but was pleased to find a rabbit not far from herself. She dropped into a crouch and snuck forward, one pawstep at a time.

A frosted patch of grass crackled under her weight and she winced. The golden molly saw her prey's head shoot up and she bunched her haunces, leaping out at the same time that the rabbit took off. The two of them pelted across the territory, brown and golden blurs on the white landscape.

Ploverpelt was faster than the rabbit and caight up to it quickly. Now came the hard part: Ploverpelt tried to leap forward and catch the rabbit, but she missed and tumbled over. She rolled to her paws and kept running. She could see the rabbit's burrow growing ever closer and she poured on the speed.

Again, the golden she-cat pounced and this time caught the rabbit in her claws. It let out a shriek of pain and fear. Ploverpelt killed it quickly and cursed. The loud cry must have scared off all the prey in her area. She tested the air and hissed when her doubts were confirmed. Thankfully, she was far enough from Nimblewhisker that he probably still had some prey.

"I've been well," Gorsebird began, pleased to have someone other a kit or a worried queen for company, "Couldn't see why I wouldn't be when all I do is watch kits play and eat. It's a surprise I haven't started to look like a kittypet with all the rabbits you catch for us!" She said, with a huff feeling like she somewhat had to find a problem with Stormgaze's treatment of her.

Stormglare stifled a small chuckle at her statement, finding it rather humorous rather than hurtful. "Well, you would still look beautiful as one either way. I'll just bring back a smaller kind of prey." he said, his gaze swooping over to the sleeping kits. Focusing on Tawnykit a little bit too much, he look back at her with a small sigh. "Her eyes can't be fixed, can they?" He asked her. Stormglare couldn't help but feel disappointed that one of his kits had such a defect. She was just so strange. He would rather her not know that. He assumed that despite how perfect Gorsebird was that were something about her bloodline that made a cat have some kind of condition. Stormglare wish he known about that before he became mates with but it couldn't be help, so he shrug it off. He could faintly remember something about her son Nimblewhisker, never bothering to ask or get to know him. Yet still remembered he was something else, but what? Stormgaze furrowed his eyebrows for a mere second in thought before resuming back in the real world.

"Not a thing." Gorsebird seethed, "I all but, begged Surgestorm for an herb to fix it and he said that there was no such kind! I just don't understand why StarClan has to curse me with such troubled kits! First Sweetwhisker and now Tawnykit!" Gorsebird softly dug her claws into the ground as to not lose her composure, "I only hope that our next litter is perfect and...normal."

"Well, at least she can always be useful if someone decides to take her as a mate and that he is normal. Being a queen is always good for her, we can pray to Starclan she doesn't past on that.. defect.`." Stormglare meowed, nodding his head in some agreement. At least Tawnykit wouldn't hear this. It wasn't his fault. He blinked in a little surprise but barely showed it, he didn't know that would have another litter of kits. The tom was sure that she would be fed up with one litter from the past and now this one. Stormglare brush it off again, it wasn't a big deal either way. Hopefully the next litter did turn out normal like he and his mate did. Stormglare took in mind that Nimblewhisker was formally Sweetwhisker, he wasn't dense to that they were probably formerly a female or something close to that. "And Streamkit? How is she?"

Gorsebird let out a brief purr, happy to be finally on to a topic she was proud of, "She's perfect Stormgaze absolutely perfect. Sweet, kind gentle everything a good she-cat is supposed to be. I'm sure she'll be able to find a good tom with no problem!" Gorsebird cooed softly, pleased to finally have a kit that met her expectations. "But," She began her eyes flickering, "That's what I thought with Sweetwhisker and look where she is now. But, then again that could just be her tainted kittypet blood."
