RiverClan Nursery

Tricklekit squeaked, squirming against his siblings. The small silver and black furred tom's eyes were closed tight and he struggled, trying to find a place to suckle. He mewled, squirming and trying to find the best place he could. The newborn tom-kit flipped over on to his back by accident, wailing helplessly as he tried without success or get back on to his belly. His fur was just kit fluff, and he shivered slightly in the freezing air, attempting to snuggle closer to the warm body of his mother, yet he couldn't, as he was still stuck on his back.

Runningkit pawed at her brother roughly, mewing with annoyance. Ugh! Runningkit felt like huffing in anger, but couldn't so..., she decided to continue pawing at her brother, repeatingly, over and over. Move over sib! Runningkit was super annoyed now, stubborn sibling! She mewled angrily, trying to get Tricklekit to move over, at least trying to. Why couldn't he move over? The raven black kitten proceeded to push him away, maybe then she could get some room!

Tricklekit mewled protestingly, but managed to squirm away from the paw that kept pushing him uncomfortably. He felt like wailing, but all that the tom let out was a muffled squeal, quiet and hard to hear. His long kit-fluff pelt stuck up against the cold, and his stomach felt empty. He pulled himself closer to the warmth of his mother and began to drink, his sibling pushing him now forgotten as he kneaded her belly to help the milk flow better. He wondered why his sister had pushed him, but he honestly didn't care that much. He'd done as she'd wanted, and she'd stopped. No problem.

Sorry I missed the birth ... Not very good , am I?)

Runningkit mewled to his sibling, appreciating him moving away from her. Finally, space! She squeaked, pawing at the good, seeming to want to explore immediately, but her limitations to moving around were a bit slim. Runningkit squirmed a bit, crawling toward her mother's belly, her hunger seeping her senses, as she started to suckle again, finally okay and not annoyed anymore.

Swallowkit batted at the air . He mewed silently then rolled back over onto his belly. He writhed in the nest, trying to get to his mother.

Berrykit sat in the nursery, the small ginger and white kit's hues twinkling mischievously. "I'm bored...someone get over here now and entertain me..." She complained, making her voice as annoying as possible. She was doing this on purpose. As far as she knew, the more annoying and bratty she acted, the easier it would be for her to get her way. Just as long as she stopped as soon as she got her own way. Otherwise they would soon catch on to her little scheme, and then where would she be? Bored, and with no fake friends, that's where I would be. Well...except for Falconkit. At least Falconkit likes me. She thought, thinking fondly of her one- and only- friend. There were times when Berrykit thought perhaps if she were less annoying, more cats would like her. But this had been her personality for this long, and part of her liked it.
Was it so terrible not to have any friends, after all? No, at least, in her opinion it wasn't. Not as terrible as having dozens of friends and not caring about any of them. Better to have just one friend that you truly cared about then dozens that you didn't. Berrykit was looking forwards to the time when she would be an apprentice which, as a matter of fact, was coming up fairly soon. The young kit's eyes lit up at the thought, and she gave a purr of satisfaction. She wouldn't have to get what she wanted then, she would be too busy training for her time as a warrior. She was definitely looking forwards to that...Berrykit could almost see herself getting her warrior name, and with all of her ambitions and what she liked to think of as "leader quality," she just might become a great leader. Berrykit's expression grew pleased before it faded to one of annoyance and she lashed her tail impatiently, waiting for someone to respond to her request.

Warriorkit blinked struggling to see what was going on. She let out a Selient mew but soon it went down feeling her mother fur. Awake was something she Could not stand! Still her eyes were closed as she stop struggling to get out she only falled asleep. Feeling his mother lap at her fur would wake her up from time to time but she would always go to sleep. Even her mother laping her didn't help to warm her. Finally she felt warm Enough and she could feel her mother grow sleepily. Pushing around she found herself asleep. Everything was clear and she was outside the nursery. Outside of the territory! Movement caught her eye. How would she catch it? What was it? Suddenly she felt her mother fur once more. The dream was so quick She could barely remember it. Surprising it wasn't all black. She could see her mother tan and white fur. Warriorkit scramble out of her mother grip but stumble.

[FadedShadow]

Thunderkit sat in the nursery, his gray and white fur shimmering as he groomed it. He stood, shaking his pelt and stretching, his large, muscular form rippling as he started walking out of the nursery to the clearing.

Ospreykit watched the other kits as they all dozed, napped, and did activities that he found quite boring. Letting out an exasperated yawn, he stretched his tiny fore paws out, flexing his toes. He blinked open his aquamarine tinted eyes and gazed lazily around. He spotted a nest full of sleeping kits and their mother and eyed the one who began stirring. His maw danced upwards into a smile. At least I'm not the only one up. He thought. Casting a glance back to his mother and siblings who were asleep, like always, he slithered out of the nest and over to Warriorkit. "Hi there!" He greeted happily, his black and brown tipped tail waving joyfully behind him. "I'm glad I'm not the only who's not asleep. Want to play a game?" He asked, bouncing on his paws and rocking back and forth, anticipating her answer.

[wolfie]

Tumbling backwards hitting her mother she looked around. "Who said that! What kind of game? "She replied to the Ospreykit. Regaining her focus she sat up. She sniff the air trying to pick out where the kit was. Leaning closer to Ospreykit she whispered"Sneek out of the nursery?"She mewed excitedly. Being the only kit was so boring and it seems like she already found a Friend. Leaning back she shoked her fur. "I am WarriorKit! What you name?"She added . Losing Balance once more she tumble backwards. Huffing she just lean against her mother. "I hate losing balance!"She muttered under her breath. Stretching herself once more now awake fully she looked back at her mother. Was she asleep or awake? She probably get me if she was awake; She wonder not wanting to he catched by anyone. Focusing by on OspreyKit now waiting for a reply.

fenic!

A small chest among the chaos rose and fell in long, deep breathes. The white form of Arctickit was barely visible over the green rim of his nest; he tried to make himself invisible to everyone, to make sure that no one noticed his presence, and that he could sleep. But as laughs and giggles rang in the air, a small, bright blue eye flickered open, glaring at the kits that had disturbed him. Sighing in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, Arctickit aroused himself to gaze at the busy nursery, wishing that he could rest. His brown-grey tail thrashed slightly as he grumbled something inaudible under his breath. Irritation permeated from the tom-kit, his eyes narrowed at the ferns in nest. When can I just get some rest? Arctickit wanted to wail up at the stars; he wanted to let everyone know of his unrest, but he diciplined himself to keep his maw shut, though his small body trembled with the effort.

Rabbitkit was never a very quiet cat, so to speak- she enjoyed talking, and found herself able to chatter away for hours at a time if she felt like it. Her mother had disappeared moons ago, and her father had been quite busy lately, which had prompted the molly to go out and try to make some new friends of her own- as she hadn't made any besides her own sister, Shellkit. Looking around the nursery innocently, the kitten wondered to herself about who seemed like they wanted to talk to her, until a pure while pelt caught her eye- she didn't know him very well, but had heard his voice many times- grumbling to his parents, or complaining about how loud this place was. He looks... unhappy. Rabbitkit wasn't a fan of other cats looking the least uncomfortable, and thinking that it was the right thing to do, tried her hardest to stumble over towards the tom in order to talk to him. Her stubby and small paws skittered across the den's floor as she walked, not exactly being the most coordinated kit in the nursery, though she was quite dedicated to whatever she was doing at the time, almost never giving up on what she wanted. "Hey, are you doing okay?" She asked Arctickit innocently, her bright blue eyes lighting up in compassion as she talked to the uncomfortable cat, smiling.

Arctickit softly blinked as another kit approached him; though he did not word his greeting, his eyes welcomed Rabbitkit to lay in his neighboring nest. No matter how irritable the small runt would become, he was always welcoming and surprisingly eager when he talked with other cats-- or it was what he wished them to assume. Arctickit's ears flicked gently as Rabbitkit interrogated him; though he was dying to rumble to her that he was fine and to leave him be, Arctickit kept a small grin on his maw, trying to see approachable. "Sort of..." he meowed, letting the side of him that was more truthful and open appear, "with all of the new arrivals, it's getting quite full and... You get the picture." Though not knowing the small she-kit, besides her name and heritage, Arctickit felt obliged to trust her, for some inexplicable reason. Of course, Arctickit felt that pull to anyone who had the willingness to talk to him unless they found him while he was dozing. Arctickit was a very outgoing tom, no matter what he grumbled about, and enjoyed having conversation, though sometimes his desire for sleep made him irritable. Arctickit tried not to let his faults show as he awaited his answer, or for the she-cat to leave.

Flicking his ears up as the sound of a complaining kit, Snakekit turned towards Berrykit and watched her for a moment. He initially glared at her for wining and demanding someone to play with her. He wondered why she thought acting in such a way would resolve in her getting someone to entertain her. Maybe sometimes she got her way as others made attempts to quiet her - though in the long run only made it worse - but wasn't sure if anyone would want to play with a brat like that.

But the adventurous tom quickly saw this as a chance to have a new playmate. Besides, maybe she wasn't always this annoying. So the dark ginger kit bounded over towards her and waved his tail upon reaching the molly. "Hey!" He purred in friendly manner.

Snakekit noted the ambitious glint in the other's orbs, but just assumed it was similar to his adventurous admonitions rather than political ones like it actually was. So his playful nature was fueled by what he believed the glint meant and made him bound a bit more as he watched Berrykit. "Wanna play something?" The somali quickly offered to play with her.

SleekKit sneezed a little then opened her great green eyes for the first time. Looking up at her mother, she smiled a little. She could hear the relaxing flow of the river and the splashing of the fish. She could hear the reeds swaying in the wind. She felt so safe and welcome here.

If anyone would like to be SleekKit's mother please let me know and PM me her bio so I know who the family is and stuff. Thanks!

Swallowkit yawned , at rolled on his back. He let out a soft mew and started making his way away from his mother. Being bored , he started trying to nibble his tail. His mews could probably be heard from here to the apprentices den, but he carried on bounding after his tail in circles. Still viciously mewing after his tail , he accidently bumped into somecat.
He looked in their direction.

fenic!

Ever since her father's promotion, Shellkit had been a bit bored. Sure, her friends were still around- although her adoptive sister and best friend, Rabbitpaw, had recently moved out of the nursery. The silver kit wasn't exactly inspired to go outside and take a long walk, either. She'd always been rather lazy, opting usually to remain indoors unless her curiosity sprung up more than usual. Shellkit was sure she'd be less lazy as an apprentice, as the territory would surely have more things to discover than the annoyingly simple camp, but for now lying on her nest was the only thing remotely appealing.

Happy as she was for her adoptive father, a small part of the 3-moon-old kitten wished Russetstar hadn't become leader. He had so much less time for her now- of course, he'd never stop being an amazing adoptive parent, but he'd always seemed to have endless time before. His fluffy tail, always ready to be pounced on, was no longer such a regular sight in the nursery. Heaving an overly dramatic sigh, Shellkit rolled over, paws dangling in the air, attempting to brainstorm any activity that could possibly consume time until her apprentice ceremony in three moons. Maybe Russetstar could make it earlier, hoped the kit. It was futile- the leader had always been one for the code- but Shellkit was more absorbed in her dreams than reality most of the time.

Berrykit looked up at the ginger kit, the ginger and white kit's hues widening in surprise. Rarely did she find her complaining and whining got her what she wanted so soon. She examined the kit, her tail twitching back and forth doubtfully before her expression softened a little and she cocked her head to the side a little. "Hmm...well, sure, you'll do. A little on the...how shall I put this..mm, overly friendly side, perhaps, but you'll do. So pick something to do." Berrykit mewed in a bored tone. She wasn't totally loving this other kit, he didn't have the exact personality that she found interesting...maybe if he had appeared a little more confident or regal, she might have showed more interest. Although there was a certain charm around the young kit, she supposed everyone had a charm in their own way...but there was no way that she would show that at the moment. When she was actually interested, then she would show it. The young she cat flicked her tail as though those were her final words on the matter. She didn't show her "true colors," as everyone seemed to say, but...she thought of this as her true colors.

What do they even mean, anyway? Is that just an overly friendly way of saying that I annoy them? Berrykit thought. She had no idea that she really was that annoying, no one ever really bothered to tell her. Perhaps that was because they didn't want to ensue her anger. She could be quite frightening if she was angry, despite her small size and generally sarcastic voice even when she wasn't trying to, even when she wanted to be serious.

At least her voice sounded more serious when it was bored. She sighed, twitching her tail back and forth as she awaited Snakekit to figure something out to do. She rolled over onto her side, which was when she looked her most charming and innocent, although anyone who heard her speak would soon learn that she was the opposite of innocent. And charming. Not until you got to know her better, or not until her mouth was closed once more. Still, there was a certain interest around the she cat...something that seemed to draw her into a more friendly position as she glanced at the tom.

A mottled grey tom slowly made his way into the nursery. He main pelt color was a light grey with a dark grey stripe down his back and his pelt was speckled in the same color as well as his legs. The older tom flicked his dark tail as he gazed around the nursery. He had the kind of look that warned you not to mess with him or both him in anyway. The kind of look that would make you want to possibly leave the area as not to start any kind of fight with the heavily built warrior.

He usually found kits annoying and mouse-brained, so he rarely bothered with the nursery. Of course, with the case of his own kits he had been overjoyed and tried his best to stay with them as much as possible. And now, he was here for someone else's kits.

Stormblaze hardly knew Lotusheart despite the fact that she was daughter-in-law as well as the mother of his grandchildren. Yet, when his sharp yellow orbs fell on her, he knew that she had been Fogstep's mate. He had seen her every now an then when she and his son had first became mates, but he had never bothered to get to know her. His son was naive and would've possibly fallen for any beautiful cat - though Lotusheart was truly a kind and gentle cat.

But he wanted to meet her's and Fogstep's kits. He would've even if Fogstep hadn't been murdered. The kits were born at a terrible time and Fogstep had never gotten the chance to introduce Stormblaze to them. He wished that they had made time, he wished he could've heard their names from his own son, but that was no longer possible. After witnessing Fogstep's murder not too long ago, he had began to neglect all warrior duties, not wanting anything to do with life. Fogstep was his last kit and the last thing he had of Brightcloud. But now he was gone, and all because of Thornfrost. The grey wariror wished he could've killed her to avenge his son, but that wasn't the case.

After giving up on life, he realized that his grandchildren no longer had a father of their own. He realized that they might need a fatherly figure around, and maybe taking care of these kits from time to time could slowly help him heal. If Lotusheart were to take in a new mate, he didn't want some stranger tom to be the one raising them, but rather himself to do it - or at least help. He wasn't trying to replace Fogstep or anything along those lines but rather help the kits out in honor of him. He could tell them stories of when their father was younger and when he was growing up. These were stories that others couldn't really tell, and he wanted to kits to know their father, even if they couldn't really know him in person.

"Hello," Stormblaze greeted Lotusheart with a gruff voice. He felt awkward speaking to Lotusheart after never taking the time to try to speak to her before. Though he didn't truly look at her, but rather seemed to be watching the kits. He took in their looks. One was a brown tabby just like it's mother, another was brown similar to the mother but had short fur like Fogstep, another was a grey like her father but a tabby like Lostuheart. He swallowed as his orbs fell on the only tom of the litter. His fur was sluffy like Lotuheart's, yet he had Fogstep's coloring and eyes.

They were all truly hard to look at without feeling emotional due to Fogstep, but he was determined to be in their lived nonetheless. He wasn't too sure whether Lotusheart would let him or not seeing that he wasn't too good with other cats and usually on the harsh side, but he wasn't going to take 'no' on this matter.

Still, there was a certain interest around the she cat...something that seemed to draw her into a more friendly position as she glanced at the tom.

(gah, writer's block! :/)

Snakekit's ears flicked and flattened slightly as she looked him up and down and commented that he was 'overly-friendly' and 'would do' almost as if he wasn't good enough but she was just looking for someone to play with. He felt like telling her that he didn't have to play her and could rather just walk away instead. But he believed that would be rude too and he didn't feel like saying that. He already promised to play with her and didn't want to just turn around and walk away. Maybe when we play she'll be more friendly? He thought, hoping that she wouldn't be as picky with the game as she seemed with her play-mate.

The ginger tom though for a moment as she gave him to choice of what they should play. He sometimes had a hard time choosing, especially when it was his first game with another kit. He didn't want to choose anything that she wouldn't like but he also wanted something that he liked as well. "Hmm..." the tom realized that he might be taking too long and Berrykit did not seem like the patient type. Snakekit gave a final bite of his bottom lip before continuing to suggest a game for them.

"How about moss-ball?" As soon as the somali suggested the game, he doubted she would like it. Moss-ball wasn't as exciting as the other games that involved play-fighting, though he himself enjoyed the typical kit game that involved tossing a ball of moss to each other. He gave her a questioning look as he awaited her response. Alternate games already forming in the ginger kit's head as he waited, trying to offer another in case she discards the first.

He was more hesitant as he offered up another game. "Or we could explore the territory?" It wasn't everyone he decided to break the rules with. He never really went onto the territory before, but he did enjoy breaking just about every rule he could with. Though Snakekit gave a quick shrug as if to discard the idea himself before Berrykit got the chance to do so. "Nevermind - moss-ball if good enough," Snakekit gave a small awkward chuckle. He wasn't keen on having her go tell a wariror that he wanted to go onto the territory. Kits were' suppose to until they became apprentices.

The grey wariror wished he could've killed her to avenge his son, but that wasn't the case.

After giving up on life, he realized that his grandchildren no longer had a father of their own. He realized that they might need a fatherly figure around, and maybe taking care of these kits from time to time could slowly help him heal. If Lotusheart were to take in a new mate, he didn't want some stranger tom to be the one raising them, but rather himself to do it - or at least help. He wasn't trying to replace Fogstep or anything along those lines but rather help the kits out in honor of him. He could tell them stories of when their father was younger and when he was growing up. These were stories that others couldn't really tell, and he wanted to kits to know their father, even if they couldn't really know him in person.

"Hello," Stormblaze greeted Lotusheart with a gruff voice. He felt awkward speaking to Lotusheart after never taking the time to try to speak to her before. Though he didn't truly look at her, but rather seemed to be watching the kits. He took in their looks. One was a brown tabby just like it's mother, another was brown similar to the mother but had short fur like Fogstep, another was a grey like her father but a tabby like Lostuheart. He swallowed as his orbs fell on the only tom of the litter. His fur was sluffy like Lotuheart's, yet he had Fogstep's coloring and eyes.

They were all truly hard to look at without feeling emotional due to Fogstep, but he was determined to be in their lived nonetheless. He wasn't too sure whether Lotusheart would let him or not seeing that he wasn't too good with other cats and usually on the harsh side, but he wasn't going to take 'no' on this matter.
As she stumbled around, still trying to get her bearings, the blind she-kit ran around trying to play with her siblings. Although her eyes were open, she was born blind, but she didn't let that stop her. "I'll catch you guys!" she mewed, chasing them around. Her confident and care-free spirit made her unique in any case, and she never minded being blind. If it weren't for her stumbles and distant stare, no one would have guessed. As she tried to pounce on one of her siblings ( Duskflight ) she missed by a mile and hit the wall of the nursery and fell back. After a moment she began to laugh. "Oops..." she giggled, and then heard Stormblaze walk in.

"Ma, who are ya talking to?" she asked, running in the direction of their voiced, but she tripped on a stick and tumbled to Stormblaze's paws.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Lotusheart was happily watching her kits play. They were able to run around a little better now, but they were still younger. They're growing up so fast, she thought, her heart seemed to crack a little. She didn't want them to become apprentices so soon. No no, they still have a few moons before they're ready for that she mentally reassured herself. Her forest green hues were settled on one particular kit. Smokeykit (Tiny). Lotusheart didn't know it yet as it wasn't too obvious, but the small kit was blind. At the moment anyone would think she stumbled so much due to her lack of balance, that she would grow out of it, alas that wasn't the case.

Her hues were torn away from the kits as a large figure entered the nursery. Lotusheart narrowed her eyes slightly. He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place her tongue on where from. As she studied the tom-cat, she realized he was headed straight towards them and then it struck her. A small gasp escaped her body, but her mouth quickly shut closed. It was Stormblaze, the grandfather to her kits and the father of her former mate. (Hexict)

"Greetings, Stormblaze," she dipped her head slightly in respect before Smokeykit caught her attention again. The small kit was headed their way but it ended in a tumble that sent her to Stormblaze's paws. With quick movements, the queen leaned forward and scoop Smokeykit away and back into the nest, giving her gentle licks to smooth out the kits ruffled or dirty fur. "It's your grandfather darling," she spoke between rasps. Once she was happy with how her daughter looked, she stopped to look back up at Stormblaze. He seemed focused on the kits and she knew that was why he was here.

Blossomkit suddenly stopped in her tracks. Grandfather? She thought, giving the cat a weird look. She gave her mother a questioning look, and inspected the cat that just walked in. To her, he looked kind of scary. I don't want to trust a cat like that... Taking a few steps back, she accidentally walked into Quailkit. { Duskflight }

Trying not to act weird, Blossomkit apologised. "Sorry!" leaning in closer, she whispered in their ear, "That cat is weird. I wouldn't trust him." Suddenly, she heard her mother say the strange cat's name. Stormblaze. The name sounded even scarier. She almost shivered at the sound of it. Wanting nothing to do with Stormblaze, she tried to escape. It was no use. The shy cat instead rushed over to the nest, and crouched down. Little did she know, her ears were peeking out. She probably looked silly.

The Havana Brown's eyes were trained on Stormblaze. Blossomkit didn't want him to try any funny business. She had no idea why he was here. We didn't invite you here! She thought. Realizing that she looked silly, she got out of the nest, and stood next to her mother. Trying to look mature, she puffed her chest out and stood up straight. "What's going on, mother?" She asked Lotusheart.

"Oh, really?" she mewed. "Wait, does that mean he's an amazing father?" she inquired. "Wait, Daddy's here?!" she asked, excitement filling her heart. She had thought she heard her father die, but she forgot about that at that moment. "Daddy's home!" she mewed. "You sound different though... are you sick? Where have you been? Why do you smell different?" questions poured out of Smokeykit like a waterfall. Not noting his different looks. One sign of her blindness.

Blossomkit noticed Smokeykit asking all of those questions. Leaving her mother's side, she walked over to her sibling. Little did she know, her sibling was blind. One thing she did realize, is that she was talking about their father. She hated to break it to her, but he was dead.

"Hey, Smokeykit?" she asked, taking a deep breath in. "You do know that our father is dead, right? He died right in front of us. Didn't you see it?" Blossomkit looked at Smokeykit. For the first time, she realized that her eyes were weird-looking. "Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?" She asked.

"S-See it... N-No...." she replied. Daddy really is dead... she thought. Then the question hit hard. My eyes? How can she see them?
"What do ya mean, my eyes? They ain't open yet!" she growled, not realizing they were. She jumped out of her mother's grip and padded to Blossomkit, though slightly off. She stumbled to the side, then regained her balance, looking in the 'direction' of Blossomkit, though not directly.

Blossomkit gave a questioning look to her sister. "Um... your eyes are open. They just look all... glossy, and big. Have you been crying?" She asked. Suddenly, She felt really rude. She wanted to take back what she had just said. "I'm sorry!" She said, even if it was too late. She had just realized that her sister was blind. Now we can never do fun things! She thought, and looked at the floor.

Suspiciousmindz; TehDerpyShoelace; Tiny; Duskflight - welp... gotta make up for missing so much X3

The tom observed Smokeykit as the young blind molly chased her litter-mates. A worried look entered his gaze as he noticed her chasing them with her eyes closed. Similar to Lotusheart, he was unaware of the fact that his granddaughter was actually blind. Of course, the kit wouldn't know since she was young and the darkness was all she knew, but Stormblaze himself would soon make the realization... though not quite yet.

His faced seemed almost unreadable - similar to his usually stoic expression - though when Smokeykit tripped over a stick, it sent her tumbling into the older warrior. He took a step back in surprise at the sudden event, but his face seemed to instantly soften. He gently pushed the blind molly with his muzzle in order to her help her back to her paws. "Be careful there, little one," he mewed gruffly.

His ears perked at Lotusheart's greeting. He watched her politely dip her head to him, but the tom just stood there. He rarely dipped his head to cats even though he was trying to get himself into the lives of Lotusheart's kits. His gaze instantly returned to Smokeykit as she was scooped up by her mother and gently placed in the nest. His tail twitched slightly though he wasn't entirely sure why.

Stormblaze gave another small smile as Lutosheart informed the young kit that she was grooming about the fact that he was in fact their grandfather. He wasn't sure if they would understand what that meant since they were quite young, but they could. The grey tom wished that Fogstep could've been here for this. Could've been the one to raise his own kits and been the one to formally introduce Stormblaze to Lotusheart. Maybe Stormblaze would've made time to actually meat and get to know his daughter-in-law due to his grandchildren.

He just wished Fogstep was here.

The gruff warrior's attention was quickly stolen by his other granddaughter - Blossomkit. She seemed instantly put off by him and - similar to other cats - generally didn't wish for his presence. The dark brown kit had ran back into the nest and tried to hide. Though the warrior was able to see her tiny chocolate ears. He quickly felt bad for make her feel like she should hide. He usually didn't care how others saw him or felt about him, but this was his own family and he didn't wish to upset them. The warrior's yellow orbs seemed to lighten up slightly as Blossomkit returned to her mother and questioned her about what was going on.

As Smokeykit began to bombard the two older cats with questions, Stormblaze flattened his ears, slightly overwhelmed by the young kit. I wouldn't say I was an 'amazing' father, he silently commented. At the question about Fogstep's return, Stormblaze's orbs looked like they had been shattered. He had assumed that they understood he was gone and never coming back, that he was dead. Of course, the kits did understand, but Smokeykit was forgetting it in the moment and her excitement on the matter only pushed her to ask more questions.

He opened his maw to say something. He was forming words in his head yet nothing was coming out. He probably looked like a mouse-brain but didn't care as he begged for some way to tell the kit that he wasn't their father and that Fogstep was killed. But he was saved by Blossomkit. The molly reminded her sister about their father's death and how they had all witnessed it. They... they saw it? They saw it all? He threw Lotusheart a horrified expression at this. It was all news to him. Stormblaze himself had watched the murder of his last kit, but during it it seemed like nothing else around him mattered so he hadn't seen his grandchildren watch their own father get killed by Thornfrost for speaking out against her.

The warrior began to blink back into the present. His gaze and attention turned back towards the two sisters. He quickly observed Smokeykit's orbs as Blossomkit called attention to them, hoping to not see an infection or maybe even scratch on them that he had missed. He relax slightly as he realized that it was same thing that he had silently questioned upon first seeing her. Of course, he was still worried on the subject and hoped that it was something she could soon get over. Maybe we should bring her to Geckoleaf to get them check at if they don't seem normal soon? The tom made the suggestion silent as the two kits continued on talking.

His brows furrowed a she listened to them carefully. Smokeykit admitted that she hadn't seen his death. She seemed to have became fearful at the question about her orbs and she herself had her own questions. The grey tabby claimed that her orbs were closed and asked how her sister could see them. Though in return, her sister informed her that they were in fact open and looked strange. Upon further inspection, Stormblaze leaned back and his own orbs went wide and the sudden realization, throwing another glance towards Lotusheart as he did so. What she had couldn't be fixed by a medicine cat nor grown out of when she became older. It something else, something more permanent. She's blind!

A mottled grey tom slowly made his way into the nursery. He main pelt color was a light grey with a dark grey stripe down his back and his pelt was speckled in the same color as well as his legs. The older tom flicked his dark tail as he gazed around the nursery. He had the kind of look that warned you not to mess with him or both him in anyway. The kind of look that would make you want to possibly leave the area as not to start any kind of fight with the heavily built warrior.

He usually found kits annoying and mouse-brained, so he rarely bothered with the nursery. Of course, with the case of his own kits he had been overjoyed and tried his best to stay with them as much as possible. And now, he was here for someone else's kits.

Stormblaze hardly knew Lotusheart despite the fact that she was daughter-in-law as well as the mother of his grandchildren. Yet, when his sharp yellow orbs fell on her, he knew that she had been Fogstep's mate. He had seen her every now an then when she and his son had first became mates, but he had never bothered to get to know her. His son was naive and would've possibly fallen for any beautiful cat - though Lotusheart was truly a kind and gentle cat.

But he wanted to meet her's and Fogstep's kits. He would've even if Fogstep hadn't been murdered. The kits were born at a terrible time and Fogstep had never gotten the chance to introduce Stormblaze to them. He wished that they had made time, he wished he could've heard their names from his own son, but that was no longer possible. After witnessing Fogstep's murder not too long ago, he had began to neglect all warrior duties, not wanting anything to do with life. Fogstep was his last kit and the last thing he had of Brightcloud. But now he was gone, and all because of Thornfrost. The grey wariror wished he could've killed her to avenge his son, but that wasn't the case.

After giving up on life, he realized that his grandchildren no longer had a father of their own. He realized that they might need a fatherly figure around, and maybe taking care of these kits from time to time could slowly help him heal. If Lotusheart were to take in a new mate, he didn't want some stranger tom to be the one raising them, but rather himself to do it - or at least help. He wasn't trying to replace Fogstep or anything along those lines but rather help the kits out in honor of him. He could tell them stories of when their father was younger and when he was growing up. These were stories that others couldn't really tell, and he wanted to kits to know their father, even if they couldn't really know him in person.

{Jeez I missed a lot 0.0"}

Quailkit had happily been running about and playing with their siblings, laughing, giggling, occasionally stumbling on purpose to give them a chance to catch them, not minding the fact that Smokeykit occasionally ran off in another direction only to run into a wall, figuring it was just her being silly or absentminded, more focused on the game than where she was going. The brown tabby didn't think there was anything wrong with their sister, sure she seemed to stare a lot or not look directly at you, and stumbled a bit, but maybe she was just a bit shy like Blossomkit! That was the reasoning in their mind anyways, it's not like they knew what a blind cat was anyways.

Though the playing had stopped after all of their attention was brought to the rather large tom who padded into the nursery, heading straight for them. Will their siblings might have been scared or confused, Quailkit immediately brightened up, their tail sticking straight up as they saw the new cat. This kit in particular loved to introduce themselves to new cats, it was the polite thing to do and that's what they were all about!
With their siblings not too far behind, the young kit padded back to their mother as Stormblaze approached, their currently blue {though they will change to yellow} eyes bright with excitement and genuine happiness the closer that the cat got.

Stormblaze? Wow that's a cool name, I bet he's a really good warrior! Thought the kit as their mother greeted the tom, debating if they should approach or wait and see if they wanted to speak with their mother before butting in and introducing themselves.
"Grandfather?" Questioned the kit in confusion, tilting their head to look at Lotusheart with momentary confusion, unsure of what it meant. Well it has 'father' in it so maybe he's related to dad? Quailkit pondered before shaking their head a bit and looking eagerly back at the grey tom, grinning brightly before their attention was brought to their sister, Blossomkit, his ears perking up slightly as she whispered to them.

To say in the least, they were taken aback by their sisters words and looked over at her in surprise. But he's done nothing wrong, why would she not trust him? Confusion welled through them, but they simply nodded and gave their sister a gentle lick on the shoulder as if it would ease her mind, their excitement returning as they looked back at their Grandfather. Oh how badly they wanted to introduce themselves, but it appeared that their siblings wanted to speak first, Smokeykit in particular, though her questions..
Quailkit looked at her, their smile fading a bit.

Why would she think father's back? I.. I didn't see him die, but I know that he's gone. That's the only reason he's not around.. But they decided it would be impolite to question their sister on the subject and instead remained quiet, flicking their ear a bit and glancing back at the tom to see the pain in his eyes. Oh no.. This is going to make every one sad isn't it?
They hated seeing everyone sad, it pained them and made them desperate to try and cheer everyone up, and yet, Quailkit couldn't think of anything at the moment. Nothing at all. But Blossomkit helped her sister out, causing the tabby to relax a bit, trying to find the right time to introduce themselves to Stormblaze.

But the conversation between their sisters was catching their attention again so they got up and padded over with a gentle smile. "I think Smokeykit is just fine! And mom thinks so too right?" Quailkit glanced back at Lotusheart for confirmation before finally turning to Smokeblaze as he padded forward to look at his sisters eyes, the brown tabby kit puffing out their chest a bit and putting on the most pleasant face they could manage before mewing out,
"Greetings sir, I'm Quailkit! This is Blossomkit and Smokeykit!" They nodded their head to each of their sisters with a small grin before turning their head towards the kit by their mother.
"And over there is Lochkit! I'm glad to hear that you're.. You're our um.." The word slipped their mind and they blinked a bit, glancing at their paws before gasping and looking back up, the grin returning. "Grandfather! I'm sure you're a great warrior!"

In a way, Quailkit was attempting to use this introduction to pull the subject of conversation away from anything that might cause emotional pain, because again, they hated to see any of their family, or really any cat, sad or upset.

Stormblaze glanced down as Quailkit finally spoke up. He was surprised by how courteous the young kit was. The warrior blinked at the names as Quailkit introduces themselves as well as their siblings. The tom gave a kind smile to Quailkit. All this smiling around the kits felt s unusual to the tom. Of course he had also smiled around Dragonlight and her brother along with Fogstep and his brother and sister, but that was moons in the past. The grey cat had to admit that it felt refreshing to be around kits... as long as they weren't being a bother.

At first he was worried about Quailkit's question to Lotusheart for confirmation that Smokeykit being alright and that nothing was actually wrong with her. Stormblaze could tell now that she was blind and wasn't looking forward to breaking it to the young kit and her litter-mates. But he was glad that he was questioned this as well.

"Greeting," he chuckled softly. "I'm Stormblaze," he wasn't sure if the kits had gotten his name from when their mother had greeted him before since they had all been playing - well, all except Lochkit, whom remain anti-social and rarely playing with them like he use to. He glanced towards Lochkit, but quickly turned back to the currently speaking kit. He wished to speak with the lone kit that wasn't really bothering with them, but he didn't want to scare Lochkit away. Besides, he also really wanted to get to know the other kits.

- - -

The fluffy grey and white kit had been watching the whole thing with watchful yellow orbs. Due to watching his father get murdered right in front of him, the young tom had became extremely introverted and wasn't interesting in playing games with his siblings. He still loves them dearly and was even protective over them - or as protective as a kit could be - but his emotions seemed to be becoming harder to display. The tom use to play with them all the time and had been a hyper ball of fur... but that all changed in one instant.

Sometimes he still had nightmares....

The moment that Stormblaze had come in, Lochkit had locked his orbs onto him. He had become very defensive when the warrior had made his way over towards Lotusheart and his siblings. Though Lotusheart acted friendly towards shim, Lochkit remained uncertain. Many had trusted Thornfrost as well. But the young kit remained silent and had just watched. As Blossomkit pointed out something wrong with Smokeykit's orbs, Lochkit instantly became frightened for his sister. Any cat would worry for their siblings if something was possibly be wrong with them. As the continued he watched Stormblaze's frightened reaction when he realized that she was blind. But the grey and white tom didn't understand this and therefore remained unaware of her blindness.

Runningkit felt a cold chill sweep into the nursery.
A mew escaped the tiny kit as she wiggled closer to her mother for warmth. She immediately didn't like this chill. What was it? Her maw escaped a tiny, shrill, mew of discomfort, a she pawed at her mothers belly as she snuggled in, trying to get the warm, comfortable grasp back. No chill for me. The kit thought triumphantly, mewing loudly, to tell the world that she didn't like the chill, cold feeling in leafbare. No! Go away chill! The annoyed, tiny raven black kit thought as the chill sweeped back at her, as if daring her to challenge it, and Runningkit wanted to mew loudly at it again, and again. She wanted it gone, and fast. A tiny mewl escaped her again, as she tried to snuggle deeper, she never got what she wanted. The raven black kit pawed lightly, as the cold still pressed against her pelt. Ugh! Why won't leave it me alone? It was if the world was going against her, using air! Wait...what is air? She suddenly mewled loudly, lifting her tiny head to look, well, in the direction she thought her mother was at, trying to get her attention, so she could answer her question.

"Mama, what does she mean my eyes look weird? What's going on?" she asked, fear in her voice. "Why can't I see like everyone else?"
She started prancing in a circle in fear and anger. She flattened her ears and felt tears well up in her eyes. She was just a kit, and she didn't understand it. She didn't know 'blind' like her siblings did, and so the word was never learned by her. She innocently padded to her mother, using her scent as a guide, tears soaking her cheeks. She didn't get it. How come they could see? What made me so different? She didn't care, she just snugged herself against her mother and let her tears fall with her sniffles.

"Please! All of you, you need to take your kits and hide. The dusk syndicate are on their way here and they want your kits...I know a good hiding place! Come on!" She gestured towards the nursery entrance with her tail, meaning for them all to get out.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Lotusheart didn't have time to react to the amount of things going on in the nursery. Her kits were suddenly nervous and arguing then Stormblaze seemed irritated. Lotusheart needed to take control of the situation. She pinned her own ears to her head and looked between Quailkit and Smokeykit then to Blossomkit. The three were always rambunctious, although they seemed to gang up on Smokeykit. Suddenly protective of the kit, she drew the blind kit into her chest fur, sweeping her tail around the other two and Lochkit, who she was grateful was not involved in the entire situation. Then her motherly protective gaze met that of Stormblaze's realization gaze. He knew everything know. The horror they faced, and now the fact her daughter was blind.

Smokeykit was blind.

Now everyone knew. Lotusheart didn't judge the kit however, only giving the small kit a fierce lick on the head, her voice soothing compared to her tense gestures. "You're perfect the way you are, sweetie. Nothing's wrong with you, you're just a tad different, but that's what makes you unique. You'll be the greatest warrior in your own way," he replied, giving Stormblaze and the other kits a hard stare, warning them to be careful with their words.

This first encounter with their grandfather had gone terribly. Although she quickly cleared her throat, her gaze locked on the older tom. "They watched Fogstep die. Lochkit hasn't been the same since and I wished they'd never seen it or I pray they hardly remember it due to their age," she spoke. Grief lined her normally soothing voice. She wished things had been different, but how could they once the deed was done. The kits didn't have anyone, but her to protect them from the reality that had happened. She failed. Lotusheart would never forgive herself for what she'd fail to keep them away from.

(gah, writer's block! :/)

Snakekit's ears flicked and flattened slightly as she looked him up and down and commented that he was 'overly-friendly' and 'would do' almost as if he wasn't good enough but she was just looking for someone to play with. He felt like telling her that he didn't have to play her and could rather just walk away instead. But he believed that would be rude too and he didn't feel like saying that. He already promised to play with her and didn't want to just turn around and walk away. Maybe when we play she'll be more friendly? He thought, hoping that she wouldn't be as picky with the game as she seemed with her play-mate.

The ginger tom though for a moment as she gave him to choice of what they should play. He sometimes had a hard time choosing, especially when it was his first game with another kit. He didn't want to choose anything that she wouldn't like but he also wanted something that he liked as well. "Hmm..." the tom realized that he might be taking too long and Berrykit did not seem like the patient type. Snakekit gave a final bite of his bottom lip before continuing to suggest a game for them.

"How about moss-ball?" As soon as the somali suggested the game, he doubted she would like it. Moss-ball wasn't as exciting as the other games that involved play-fighting, though he himself enjoyed the typical kit game that involved tossing a ball of moss to each other. He gave her a questioning look as he awaited her response. Alternate games already forming in the ginger kit's head as he waited, trying to offer another in case she discards the first.

He was more hesitant as he offered up another game. "Or we could explore the territory?" It wasn't everyone he decided to break the rules with. He never really went onto the territory before, but he did enjoy breaking just about every rule he could with. Though Snakekit gave a quick shrug as if to discard the idea himself before Berrykit got the chance to do so. "Nevermind - moss-ball if good enough," Snakekit gave a small awkward chuckle. He wasn't keen on having her go tell a wariror that he wanted to go onto the territory. Kits were' suppose to until they became apprentices.


Berrykit caught Snakekit's rejected expression and felt a slight twang of pity...which was rare for her but, after all, she was the one who had made him feel bad. "Well don't feel bad about it. Maybe you're better then- then I think." She mewed a little awkwardly. She hadn't been quite sure how to finish the sentence without accidentally coming off as more rude, but of course...there was always that glimmer of hope that she had said the right thing. She waited for Snakekit's answer, an impatient twitching of her tail beginning to occur again as she got back to her paws; a warning sign that she was getting ready for some very bossy drama.


Before she could begin, however, the ginger tom had already suggested a game. Berrykit cocked her head to the side, thinking long and hard about the suggested game of moss ball. It was not necessarily a boring game to her...but not one that she really loved. To be honest, she was unsure of what to do now. She opened her maw to say something and then thought for a moment if she really cared to say something thoughtless, which would only add to her image, or something more friendly, which would take away from it.


"Moss ball? Umm..." She mewed with a chuckle, trying to hide her uneasy feelings about the game. She wasn't quite sure what to say, and shifted her weight uncomfortably as she looked the ginger tom over again. Her hues lit up as he mentioned going into the territory. "The territory? Really? I haven't ever done that before, let's do that!" She mewed excitedly with a bright, surprisingly almost friendly smile.


This smile faded, replaced by a look of frustration, as he took back the offer. What was that for?! She thought, her hues slitting a little and her tail lashing sharply in frustration until she stopped, clearing her throat and settling down, sitting and wrapping her tail around her paws tightly, as though she didn't ever want to let go. A mischievous smirk came across the she cat's maw as she thought for a moment, and she glanced over at the tom. "Why, what's the matter? Are you scared of a little adventure now? What do you think I'm going to do, get you into trouble?" She joked a little, although she kept her hues fixed on Snakekit's face to see if it showed any flicker of emotion. "How stupid do you believe me to be?" She asked with a snort. She didn't expect an answer and probably would have gotten offended if he had gotten one.

[NightWarrior4Life]

"Come. On. Somebody. Mooove. Just please, listen to me...you all have to get out of here!" Aria was tempted to get behind a large queen and push her out of the nursery by force. She also wanted to just run in, scoop up a kit and just take it there and then...she knew it took a little bit for cats to listen to you but this was just mouse-brained! How could they not sense the trouble? How could they not her her cries?

[seasalt]

Runningkit mewled loudly, rolling to the side,
the warmth of her mother's nest felt empty, and the kit was alone, in the chill, with her siblings, who, the kit had guessed, cold as well. A loud, shrill mew escaped her from her lungs, mewling for her mother, or her father, some cat, someone to get her mother back in the nursery, the den was daunting without her, she didn't want to be alone, ever. She opened her blue green eyes, staring around the den, no where to be found, it seemed. She turned to look at the entrance, curiosity seeping into her pelt. Where was she? What was she doing, she out their? "Mama?" She squeaked, eyes peering around, looking for her mother, squeaking loudly, and demanding. "Mama!" Runningkit mewled, blue green orbs glistening with energy, and demand. The raven black kit struggled toward to the entrance, mewing loudly. "Mamaa!" The kit continued to make a racket, squeaking, mewling, whatever possible to get her mother's attention, or get her back in the nursery. It was a rather annoying racket, one that cats in the clearing could probably hear, but that was to say that Runningkit was impatient, and that was certainly the case. Impatient was one thing, a clear annoyance was another, two entirely different things, of somewhat the same category, you can't really tell, well.... a kit can't, and she can't tell if theirs danger, or not, and it was clear, she didn't care about that, all she cared about, was where her mother was, and she was going to find her, not matter how dangerous I could be, or was. "Mama...where did you go..?"

Smokeykit smiled, and nuzzled her mother, all the sad and fear gone. Like a kit, it went from sadness to a hyper playfulness. It was rather typical of Smokey. With a sniff, she tried to pinpoint the location of one of her siblings, and Blossomkit was the closest. With a wiggle of her tail-end, she giggled. "Imma get you guys, with or without sight!" she mewed.She loved to play, and maybe being the 'tad different' she was, then it would only make it all the more fun for her, and maybe then she'd be a purrfect warrior.

Maybe she would be an amazing leader, too! Smokeystar, the best leader ever! The thought made her smile, and she lunged at her sister, giggling. Her claws were sheathed. This was simply just a mood changer, and to have fun was the best way to make things easier, or at least for Smokeykit. She landed infront of her and pawed her sister's nose. "Tag!" she mewed, and turned quickly, bolting, but as soon as she started running, she smacked straight into Stormblaze's leg. She began to giggle and laugh, pawing at him playfully. She was the life of the litter, the one who could make anyone smile, and she loved that about herself. Maybe this Stormblaze guy was like her father, and maybe he could have fun with them. "Wanna play with us?" she asked. She then turned to the scent of her siblings, and smiled.

"Hey, I bet I'd be a better warrior than you guys! And I'll be a leader! Smokeystar! My name would be known far and wide, and I'll be named the most pawesome warrior in all of StarClan!" she meowed, prancing in a circle, but as she said that, she tripped and tumbled to her mother, and she laughed. "Or maybe they'd call me the most clumsy!"

Seeing the older tom smile at them, Quailkit couldn't help themselves but smile even bigger, their tail sticking straight up in the air to show their unrivaled happiness. This kit absolutely loved to bring smile to other cats faces, they had found that by making other cats happy, it made them happy as well. And besides, in times like this.. Cats needed to smile. It was so dreary and sad all of the time, Quailkit didn't want to see them sad, they didn't want to see anyone sad, even if they barely knew them.

"Stormblaze huh? That's a really cool name! Do they call you that because.. You blaze through enemies like fire? And your loyalty to the clan is unchanging like a fire?" Questioned the tabby kit with a tilt of their head, their yellow eyes bright with excitement. They had already heard Lotusheart say the toms name, but they didn't want to correct the tom because they felt that it could possibly upset him. They didn't know Stormblaze very well and wouldn't know how he reacted to things and so Quailkit was simply being considerate to the other cat and acting as though they hadn't heard their name before, a common courtesy that they usually gave to other cats.

Though the brown and white tabby's head quickly turned to look at their sister as their attention was brought about how her eyes were sort of strange and the strange comments that she had made as if.. She couldn't actually see. Tilting their head, their tail drooped a little and they quickly looked to their mother to answer their sister's questions. Quailkit couldn't say anything, scared that it might only make their sister worry more or even scare her. All of a sudden Lotusheart's tail was sweeping around them, causing a surprised squeak to escape the young kit, their ears flattening and their head ducking a bit.
Am I in trouble? I-I didn't do anything.. Their eyes nervously glanced at their mother before looking down before brightening a little to hear her words. "Mom's right Smokeykit! You're going to be a great warrior and there's nothing wrong with you!" Mewed out the young kit, their eyes bright again.

Seeing Smokeykit snap out of the sad state immediately caused Quailkit to become their bright happy self again, missing what Lotusheart said to Stormblaze as they watched their sister tackle Blossomkit, shuffling backwards a little so that he wouldn't get caught in the little scuffle before their sister went racing right into Stormblaze's leg. Quailkit giggled out as they heard what their sister said, stepping over Lotusheart's tail to carefully pad over to the blind kit as she tripped and tumbled, the young kit happily helping their sister up.

"You probably will! Maybe you'll even be the best warrior in Riverclan, I can see it now! Smokeystar... I like it! And I'll be a loyal warrior, like always!" They purred out, puffing out their chest and closing their eyes with a grin before letting out another giggle and relaxing. Quailkit didn't want to be the best warrior, they didn't want to be deputy or leader, they were more than content just to be a regular old warrior and let other cats have all of the glory, they always seemed happy when they made great achievements like that and they'd be more than happy to let them have that. The tabby would just love to see their sisters and brother succeed in the clan, they would be there every step of the way for their siblings and that was the absolute truth.

Quailkit giggled out as they heard what their sister said, stepping over Lotusheart's tail to carefully pad over to the blind kit as she tripped and tumbled, the young kit happily helping their sister up.

"You probably will! Maybe you'll even be the best warrior in Riverclan, I can see it now! Smokeystar... I like it! And I'll be a loyal warrior, like always!" They purred out, puffing out their chest and closing their eyes with a grin before letting out another giggle and relaxing. Quailkit didn't want to be the best warrior, they didn't want to be deputy or leader, they were more than content just to be a regular old warrior and let other cats have all of the glory, they always seemed happy when they made great achievements like that and they'd be more than happy to let them have that. The tabby would just love to see their sisters and brother succeed in the clan, they would be there every step of the way for their siblings and that was the absolute truth.

Smokeykit smiled at the sound of her sibling, and pounced on them. "Ha! Gotcha!" she purred in amusement, and jumped up, her blind, silver eyes glinting with amusement. She listened for them to get up and pounce at her, already using her keened senses to her advantage. She was nothing but a troublesome ball of joy, and she would make lots of people smile and laugh as she grew older. She would bet prey on it! She wanted nothing but the love anyone could offer, and she had nothing better in return. She was truly the life of the four. Quailkit, Lochkit, Blossomkit, then her. With a look of mischievous playfulness, she lunged forward at Lochkit, aiming to tackle him. Everyone was getting a part of her sudden hyperness, even her brother who stopped playing with them after the death of their father. He seemed distant and to her, that was not fun at all.

"Play with us Lochkit! Pleeeeease?" she begged, putting on a cute begging face to try and persuade her brother to join the fun. It was the least she could ask of him. Sure, he had been through so much but she wanted to put that behind them. It was clear she wouldn't remember much at all, due to her age, but there would still be that lingering pain. It was the same for the rest of them. But, she wasn't going to let that get to any of them. She decided her role a while ago, and being blind was going to help that. She would be the one to make the pain hurt less. To make the smiles come more often. She wanted to be the one her siblings came to if they ever needed her. She wanted to be that role. And she needed all the 'training' she could get, starting with making a game. Tag!

"Hey, wanna play tag? I can be it, and maybe I can catch ya guys!" she mewed, smiling brightly. The youngest of them all, and she had the biggest heart of the clan. "Hey, hey! Quail, Blossom, wanna play with me, too? We can invite the whole nursery! It would be one big fun game of tag! Or maybe hide and seek!" she mewed, and games filled her mind. "Or we can play Mossball toss!" she purred, a huge grin on her face. "Oh, mama, can we play, please? Pleeeease?" she begged.

Ever since her father's promotion, Shellkit had been a bit bored. Sure, her friends were still around- although her adoptive sister and best friend, Rabbitpaw, had recently moved out of the nursery. The silver kit wasn't exactly inspired to go outside and take a long walk, either. She'd always been rather lazy, opting usually to remain indoors unless her curiosity sprung up more than usual. Shellkit was sure she'd be less lazy as an apprentice, as the territory would surely have more things to discover than the annoyingly simple camp, but for now lying on her nest was the only thing remotely appealing.

Happy as she was for her adoptive father, a small part of the 3-moon-old kitten wished Russetstar hadn't become leader. He had so much less time for her now- of course, he'd never stop being an amazing adoptive parent, but he'd always seemed to have endless time before. His fluffy tail, always ready to be pounced on, was no longer such a regular sight in the nursery. Heaving an overly dramatic sigh, Shellkit rolled over, paws dangling in the air, attempting to brainstorm any activity that could possibly consume time until her apprentice ceremony in three moons. Maybe Russetstar could make it earlier, hoped the kit. It was futile- the leader had always been one for the code- but Shellkit was more absorbed in her dreams than reality most of the time.

Russetstar had been swamped and stressed these past few days- he was just too busy, and the tom had been trying to fit everything he wanted to do into a schedule- which ended up terribly messy. He dearly missed all of the free time he used to have, the hours he could spend talking to his friends and playing with his kits, which had drowned into a river of responsibilities. Today was the day where he'd vowed to do something relaxing for himself, and for his two daughters, who probably had missed him greatly. The Riverclan leader ducked into the crowded den quietly, his tail lowered as he walked in. There were only two cats he wanted to see, and one was sound asleep- catching sight of a bright gaze he recognized in an instant, the marble-pelted cat stared towards his daughter with joy. "Shellkit!" He exclaimed, racing towards the kitten as fast as he could without trampling the other youngsters who resided in the nursery. "I missed you."

"Why aren't you moving! You should be scared! The dusk syndicate are bad bad cats...and they're coming here! Right now! To Riverclan! To steal your kits!" She was frustrated now...she walked over to a group of kits that were giggling and playing "Rawr!" The kits scurried away to their mothers, who were now wrapping their tails protectively around them. "Yeah...that's what the syndicate will do to you and your kits if they find you...so I suggest you leave..." The cats just continued to stare "NOW!" She snapped "GO GO GO!!!" She hissed. Still no one moved

Medowkit the 2 moon old kit woke up in a corner hoping to finally be able to play with a kit. She decided to walk out of the nursery to get some food but instead of finding food she forgot how to get there and didn't even know where the nursery was, she was still in the territory she just hasn't had anyone show her around the place after she was abandoned.

Aria was frustrated and exhausted. She padded over to an empty nest in the far corner of the nursery and slumped down into it. She needed to relax so badly, but soon enough the queens would start recognising her strange sent and will most likely attack. But when aria was this worn down, she was no threat...

[NightWarrior4Life]

SleekKit yawned, her green orb shaped eyes shined as sin streamed in through the nursery walls. Her mother was washing. She rubbed up against her soft belly, trying to drink up some of the silky milk. Her mother paused for a moment then continued after looking down briefly at her muddy brown kit.

Happy to see the kits in a better mood, her gaze shifted away from Stormblaze and towards Smokeykit and the others. "Of course you can go play my darlings, just be nice to one another" she replied, her beutiful green hues looking between each of them before resting on Lochkit, whom didn't seem to be interested in anything but laying in the nest with her. "Why don't you join them, Lochkit? Get some fresh air while Stormblaze and I speak?" she offered, nudging the only tom-kit a little and putting a soft lick between his ears. She hoped the small kit would decide to at least get some fresh air. Although a motherly instinct kicked in and she looked at the other three kits. "If you go into the clearing, come straight back in if you get cold and stay out from under the bigger cat's paws. They won't appreciate tripping over you three," she spoke sternly, but warmly.

Then her gaze shifted back to the kits grandfather. What was it that he wanted? Now that he knew everything about them, she was curious as to why he came in the first place. He didn't show up for them until now, not even before Fogstep died.

Stormblaze remained silent about the whole drama over Smokeykit. But, what was he to say anyway? He didn't know how to handle this, she was blind and no one could help her - but he wanted someone to help her. He wished that Geckoleaf could somehow find a way to cure blindness, what caused it anyway? And why would Starclan give his granddaughter the curse of no sight? He began to dig his claws into the ground as he silently cursed Starclan for this. First you take my mates, then you take me kits and now Smokeykit doesn't have any sight? The small molly would never know what the world looks like. It was quite sad actually.

He watched the kits with his piercing yellow gaze when she brought up how they had in fact watched their father die. His pelt prickled again. He too wished that they hadn't been watching, that they had been hiding away and out of sight... but no, the kits had watched their own father get murdered by their own deputy just for speaking out against her. Though the others seemed rather unphased, Stormblaze did glance towards the kit that looked the most like Fogstep, still standing apart from his litter-mates and seemed to be watching them play. When he looked up and the kit's and warrior's yellow gazes met, Stormblaze turned away and continued to watched Smokeykit, Quailkit and Blossomkit.

His fluffy tail twitched when the small she-kit began running around again, not seeming to notice the downside of this. I suppose that's for the best, he silently commented. Well, she definitely has her father's spirit, that is for sure. A warm smile formed again on his face as he watched Smokeykit and pictured Fogstep as a young kit. As she asked if he would like to join in for a game, he shook his huge head. "No thank you, I'll just watch," he mewed simply. His yellow orbs followed her as she started to declare that she would become the leader someday and everyone would know her name.

The older warrior return his attention to Quailkit as the non-binary kit began to speak to him again. "It's for my strength in battle, though my loyalty to Riverclan is unchanging," the grey tom answered and hoped that he didn't disappoint the small kit with his answer. The kit then bounded towards their siblings to play with them, leaving Stormblaze alone with Lotusheart and Lochkit.

--

The small fluffy kit didn't trust Stormblaze, he had learned to be suspicious of everyone. He didn't speak out, of course - after all, that was what got their father killed. He couldn't help but keep looking up at the large warrior, expecting him to perhaps make a threatening move on mother or even his litter-mates. But he would always return his gaze towards Smokeykit. Blossomkit and Quailkit. He silently scolded himself for not noticing Smokeykit's problem before. He took it upon himself to take care of his family, though when it came down to it he was just a kit and couldn't do really anything. But she'll be alright... right?

Lochkit's ear perked as Smokeykit called over for him to play with them. He bit his lip as he was about to tell her 'no'. He use to be playful like Smokeykit, but now he preferred to just watch from a distance rather than actually getting involved in their games anymore. He did still love them unconditionally, but he didn't like playing anymore.

But then Lotusheart told him that he should play with them while her and Stormblaze talked. He was hesitant since he still didn't trust the big tom, but he knew to listen to his mother and gave a curt nod before running up to Smokeykit, Blossomkit and Quailkit. He puffed up his fluffy fur to prevent himself from getting cold during their game.

--

Stormbalze could feel Lotusheart's curious gaze as he watched the little bundles readying themselves to go and play. He couldn't figure out what to really say to her. He hardly knew the molly, but if he wanted to be in the kits' lives than he'd have to at least attempt a conversation with her. "They act like Fogstep - well, maybe not Lochkit, though he does look like his father - but Fogstep was playful as a kit as well... I had trouble handling him," he commented gruffly.

"Thanks, big bro!" she mewed, the last born kit flicking her tail in excitement. She then pawed him and bounced back, but then smacked into Quailkit, and she giggled as she stood up. "See, I'm already conquering!" she joked, and she laughed again.

"Come on, you slow-pokes!" she mewed. Her care-free soul was like that of her father's, and though she would never meet him, he would always watch her from StarClan, and she felt that somewhere, though she didn't understand it. Being young, she would have to grow into that kind of knowledge. And she was willing.

She was more willing than ever, and if it meant she would have to fight, or even flight, she would. She was going to be the kit that would rather not fight, that would pray for her meal, she was going to be he one who was humble.

And one day, maybe, she might actually be a leader. But for now, she was going to be a kit until she no longer can be as playful as she is.

Before running off to play with their siblings, Quailkit had stuck around to finish their conversation with their grandfather, curious to how he got his suffix, the reasoning behind it. Hearing the answer, the brown tabby brightened up brightly, grinning up at the seasoned warrior, their tail sticking straight up in the air, suddenly proud to be in the very presence of a warrior like Stormblaze. "Wow, I knew it had something to do with your strength! Well I want to grow up to be a warrior just like you when I get older! Strong and loyal and friendly, that's going to be me Stormblaze, just wait and see!" The kit purred out before their attention was brought to their siblings as Smokeykit desired to play. Dipping their head politely to the warrior they were talking to, the young kit quickly scampered over to join their siblings. Maybe Lochkit will actually join us for once? I would like that!
Their yellow eyes looked to Lotusheart as she coaxed their only brother to join them in their games, the non-binary kit smiling gently as they looked fondly at their brother. Despite how reclusive the young tom had grown, Quailkit had never lost their love for him, they still cared about him very much, just like their other siblings.

When the brown tabby kit saw their blind sister jump towards Lochkit and nuzzle up to him, they couldn't help but giggle, the sight just bringing a warm feeling to the kits inner self, they loved to see cats getting along and it was even better because these were their siblings. If they wanted any cats to get along, it was most certainly their family and for the most part, that seemed true enough. Though they were a bit distracted it seemed and didn't realize that Smokeykit was jumping backwards and ended up smacking right into them, causing Quailkit to squeak out a bit and go tumbling to the ground, quickly clambering back to their paws and giving themselves a shake, unable to hold back from laughing at their sisters comment about conquering. "Yeah, you'll make a great warrior, you'll conquer everyone Smokeykit!"

"Are we playing tag?" Questioned the young kit, having forgotten what game that Smokeykit said she wanted to play, their yellow eyes alight with excitement as they got ready to play with their siblings, the thought of their father and their grandfather gone from their mind momentarily as they focused on simply playing with their siblings. Quailkit looked to Lochkit for a moment, offering a kind smile to their brother, hoping that this might.. Brighten his mood, even if only for a little bit. They knew that their brother didn't like to play anymore, but maybe.. He would enjoy it this time? They couldn't help but hope for that, even if it did seem improbable.

Lotusheart blinked for a moment at the random comment. What was this about anyways? Silently she listened to his words before flicking her ears and turning her head to watch her kits. "Lochkit used be just like Fogstep until the incident. You'd have known that if you decided to take part in it before he was killed or maybe even before I was expecting," she meowed, sounding bitter. She respected the tom-cat, that was already shown, but she couldn't help feeling bitter that Stormblaze didn't even bother getting to know her when Fogstep was around. "So tell me, Stormblaze, what brings you around now?" she half-murmured, turning her forest green hues on the large tom-cat. They didn't show any type of hurt or bitterness, it was just an inquisitive gaze. The Maine Coon awaited his answer, wondering what he'd say next.

She blinked turning away from him suddenly to watch her kits tumble around and talk. She loved them so much that lately she was just a bit too protective over them the past moon or so. Lotusheart didn't want anything to change now, she didn't want to welcome another tom into her life and she didn't want to lose any of her little family. Who could blame the queen though? She was still in grief, she wasn't sure that would ever go away, it was a horrid feeling she wanted nothing to do with anymore.

Although before Stormblaze replied, she let out a small sigh. "I apologize, I just can't help but feel suspicious when their grandfather shows up out of the blue to meet them, but never put that sort of effort in before," she murmured, still not meeting the older tom's gaze.

[Hexict]

Before running off to play with their siblings, Quailkit had stuck around to finish their conversation with their grandfather, curious to how he got his suffix, the reasoning behind it. Hearing the answer, the brown tabby brightened up brightly, grinning up at the seasoned warrior, their tail sticking straight up in the air, suddenly proud to be in the very presence of a warrior like Stormblaze. "Wow, I knew it had something to do with your strength! Well I want to grow up to be a warrior just like you when I get older! Strong and loyal and friendly, that's going to be me Stormblaze, just wait and see!" The kit purred out before their attention was brought to their siblings as Smokeykit desired to play. Dipping their head politely to the warrior they were talking to, the young kit quickly scampered over to join their siblings. Maybe Lochkit will actually join us for once? I would like that!
Their yellow eyes looked to Lotusheart as she coaxed their only brother to join them in their games, the non-binary kit smiling gently as they looked fondly at their brother. Despite how reclusive the young tom had grown, Quailkit had never lost their love for him, they still cared about him very much, just like their other siblings.

When the brown tabby kit saw their blind sister jump towards Lochkit and nuzzle up to him, they couldn't help but giggle, the sight just bringing a warm feeling to the kits inner self, they loved to see cats getting along and it was even better because these were their siblings. If they wanted any cats to get along, it was most certainly their family and for the most part, that seemed true enough. Though they were a bit distracted it seemed and didn't realize that Smokeykit was jumping backwards and ended up smacking right into them, causing Quailkit to squeak out a bit and go tumbling to the ground, quickly clambering back to their paws and giving themselves a shake, unable to hold back from laughing at their sisters comment about conquering. "Yeah, you'll make a great warrior, you'll conquer everyone Smokeykit!"

"Are we playing tag?" Questioned the young kit, having forgotten what game that Smokeykit said she wanted to play, their yellow eyes alight with excitement as they got ready to play with their siblings, the thought of their father and their grandfather gone from their mind momentarily as they focused on simply playing with their siblings. Quailkit looked to Lochkit for a moment, offering a kind smile to their brother, hoping that this might.. Brighten his mood, even if only for a little bit. They knew that their brother didn't like to play anymore, but maybe.. He would enjoy it this time? They couldn't help but hope for that, even if it did seem improbable.

Lotusheart blinked for a moment at the random comment. What was this about anyways? Silently she listened to his words before flicking her ears and turning her head to watch her kits. "Lochkit used be just like Fogstep until the incident. You'd have known that if you decided to take part in it before he was killed or maybe even before I was expecting," she meowed, sounding bitter. She respected the tom-cat, that was already shown, but she couldn't help feeling bitter that Stormblaze didn't even bother getting to know her when Fogstep was around. "So tell me, Stormblaze, what brings you around now?" she half-murmured, turning her forest green hues on the large tom-cat. They didn't show any type of hurt or bitterness, it was just an inquisitive gaze. The Maine Coon awaited his answer, wondering what he'd say next.

Stormblaze felt his pelt heat up at Quailkit's words. He looked at the kit, the warrior's usually cold yellow orbs softened. He forgot how much he liked kits. Even though it had hurt to be around Fogtsep when he was a kit, the aging warrior had still loved seeing his son. And now, it was the same with his grandchildren - they were reminding him of his late son, but he still had a soft spot for them. "I'm sure you will," he purred, though his voice was still gruff. "I would like to see that - though I doubt you'd become as strong as me," it felt strange to joke around since he was usually so serious, but it also felt a bit nice. Though he would only joke around with his grandchildren.

--

The fluffy kit watched Quailkit leave Syormblaze's side and felt a pang of anger. Though the young kit wasn't sure if his anger and knew that Stormblaze was becoming close with his siblings already. Though he wasn't sure if it was more due to his jealousy that his siblings could easily befriend someone - even someone as jagged and gruff as their grandfather - or rather due to his distrust in others and couldn't understand why they seemed to so easily like Stormblaze. He blinked and looked at Quailkit as he asked if they were to play tag. As his litter-mate offered him a smile, Lochkit forced one back. Even though he was usually down, he didn't want to dampen his sibling's light spirits. "Tag sounds fun," he mewed quietly.

--

Their conversation quickly turned bitter, and Stormblaze glazed down in shame. He was aware that she should've spent more time with his family, should've gotten to know Lotusheart before the kit's birth, back when her and Fogstep first became mates. He should've visited the kit right after their birth and tried to see them whenever he could. He should've always been there for every moment in Fogstep's life, especially those important ones like Lotusheart and the birth of their kits.

"Don't worry about it," he muttered as she added an apology before he could respond. "Your right though... and I'm sorry about that. The truth is, I'm not a family guy," he wasn't sure how much he should tell Lotusheart. Sure they hardly knew each other, but he wanted to be in her and her kits' lives. "I mean, I don't have luck with families. Me and my sister haven't spoke for moons, both my mates have died - hell, Fogstep was my only kit left from both the litters I had, and now he's dead as well..." he wasn't aware, but Fogstep had been his last family as well, not just the last kit - a few moons ago, his sister Mint had died as well, but how would he have know that?

Stormblaze still didn't look towards Lotusheart, though he did let his gaze lift up to watch the kits. "I don't know why I didn't come to meet you or the kits before now, I should've been overjoyed that Fogstep had found someone, yet I just stayed away from all of you. I know it sounds dumb, I can't even understand these decisions of mine so how could you? Maybe I found myself unlucky to my family - but now that Fogstep is gone I want something of his...." the warrior then realized what he was saying. It was rare for the jaded tom to spill such feelings to someone, he rarely even spoke to Fogstep about this stuff.

"So I'm sorry," he quickly added, looking towards his daughter-in-law now.

closed roleplay between me and Spirited Darkness

Speckledkit glanced around the nursery. Even though she loved to make friends, and she does care about them, but she loved to meet new people and sometimes could spend more time finding new play-mates instead of playing with people whom where already her friends. But she wasn't perfect. The small kit knew that she should work on that, she just had a hard time since she found it refreshing to play with someone new instead of someone she was use to playing with. Even if she loved her friends. Her blue eyes stopped when she saw a cat she hadn't played with before.

"Hi!" She called as she bounded over towards Tricklekit, a little too enthusiastically. "Wanna play something?" She crouched low in a playful position as she impatiently waited for a reply from Tricklekit. After a few heartbeats Speckledkit realized that she hadn't introduced herself. "Oh, I'm Speckledkit by that way!"

Tricklekit looked around the nursery, relieved that Runningkit was nowhere to be seen. The young, silver and black tabby tom kit suspected that his sister was outside of the nursery. He honestly preferred to be wherever his sisters weren't. Sometimes, he wished he could play with the other kits, but rarely did anyone ever come and ask to play with him, so when a she-kit bounded over, the tom kit jumped, startled by the overly enthusiastic kit. Once his initial shock had receeded, his ears pricked forwards.

“Hi! I'm Tricklekit!” he meowed equally enthusiastic as she had been when she'd come over to him. He loved making friends, and despite how easy he was to pick on and bully, he was quite the enthusiastic and outgoing kit. “Sure! Like what?” he added, staring at his paws for a moment, fearful that he may trip over something in his excitement.

Speckledkit was glad when he replied as enthusiastically as she had been when she first came up to him. "Well hey there Tricklekit," she liked his name. It wasn't a common one, unlike her own name. "Fun name," she mewed and waved her tail. The she-cat looked at Tricklekit as she asked what she wanted to play.

"Hmm..." she thought about it, listing all the games they could play in her head. She didn't have a preferred game since like play-mates she liked to switch off the games she would play with others. "Oh, about you be a fox and I'll be a warrior protecting the clan?" Speckledkit suggested and hoped that he'd like that. She always enjoyed playing that involved a lot of movement, and she did hope to one day become a great warrior.

“Thanks. Yours is really neat, too!” he added, bouncing up and down in his excitement at the prospect of getting to play a game with his new friend. He wondered what kind of game they would be playing, although he was up for just about anything. There was rarely a game that he wouldn't play, and sometimes, Tricklekit would simply play a game by himself, but only when there was absolutely nobody around.

The silver and black tabby paced back and forth, his tail and head carried high and a happy glimmer in his blue eyes, which had taken on an orangish hue, and were likely to turn amber as he grew older. Waving his long, fluffy tail and excitement, the young kit lowered his body slightly and crept forwards, a playful growl echoing from his throat. “Okay! I'm the fox!” he laughed, still creeping forwards, being extra careful not to trip, as he tended to be on the note clumsy side.

Specklekit puffed out her chest at the compliment that Tricklekit had given her about her name. She wasn't a huge fan of it, but she was glad that he at least liked it. "Thanks!" She squeaked. She wondered how cats could come up with names for their kits. Some were fun like Tricklekit, and then others were just simple like Speckledkit. But she decided not to dwell on it. Besides, if she were to have kits, that would far into the future.

The she-kit laughed and crouched down as she waited for Tricklekit to get closer so she could attack him. "Get out of my clan you mangy fox!" She yowled but couldn't really prevent another giggle as she pretended to snap at him. When he got closer, she leaped at him. Since she was a kit her movements were clumsy, but she thought they were flawless as she landed. "I'll show you!" Speckledkit lashed out her spotted paw, claws sheathed.

Tricklekit nodded, flicking the tip of his fluffy silver and black tabby tail in excitement. He was already excited with this game, and they'd barely started. But ye simply loved games. He loved to play, and would happily play with just about anybody and play just about any game. He was laid back in that way, although there was nothing else laid back about him. He peered at Speckledkit, nodding slightly, hardly able to contain his excitement. He waited as patiently as he could, and finally, she reacted to him.

“Never!” he roared playfully, laughter iin his voice, sort of ruining the frightening affect any real fox would've been able to contain in a roar, then again, did foxes even actually roar, or did they just bark? He'd heard several different explanations of foxes from multiple different elders, and knew not exactly what to believe. Dismissing that idea, he was about to charge at her when her paw glanced off his shoulder, and he pretended to fall over, then scrambled clumsily to his paws. “It'll take more than that to beat me!” he teased jokingly, charging in a slow, clumsy way towards his newly made friend.

Speckledkit was glad to see how excited Tricklekit seemed to be about their game. She too was excited, and laughed when he pretended to fall, but told her that it would take more than that. "Oh yeah?" Sh crouched back down, looking almost like a baby bird about to fly for the first time. She gave another clumsy leap at the tomkit, but this time her back legs slipped right when she pushed off and made her fall onto her belly.

The white and black kit giggled some more, clearly showing that she wasn't hurt from the messed up jump. Speckledkit scrambled back onto her feet and shook out her short fur. "Leave my clan alone!" She yowled again and threw herself back to Tricklekit. Speckledkit lashed at him again, claws still sheathed so that she wouldn't hurt her new friend.

[Hexict]

Berrykit caught Snakekit's rejected expression and felt a slight twang of pity...which was rare for her but, after all, she was the one who had made him feel bad. "Well don't feel bad about it. Maybe you're better then- then I think." She mewed a little awkwardly. She hadn't been quite sure how to finish the sentence without accidentally coming off as more rude, but of course...there was always that glimmer of hope that she had said the right thing. She waited for Snakekit's answer, an impatient twitching of her tail beginning to occur again as she got back to her paws; a warning sign that she was getting ready for some very bossy drama.


Before she could begin, however, the ginger tom had already suggested a game. Berrykit cocked her head to the side, thinking long and hard about the suggested game of moss ball. It was not necessarily a boring game to her...but not one that she really loved. To be honest, she was unsure of what to do now. She opened her maw to say something and then thought for a moment if she really cared to say something thoughtless, which would only add to her image, or something more friendly, which would take away from it.


"Moss ball? Umm..." She mewed with a chuckle, trying to hide her uneasy feelings about the game. She wasn't quite sure what to say, and shifted her weight uncomfortably as she looked the ginger tom over again. Her hues lit up as he mentioned going into the territory. "The territory? Really? I haven't ever done that before, let's do that!" She mewed excitedly with a bright, surprisingly almost friendly smile.


This smile faded, replaced by a look of frustration, as he took back the offer. What was that for?! She thought, her hues slitting a little and her tail lashing sharply in frustration until she stopped, clearing her throat and settling down, sitting and wrapping her tail around her paws tightly, as though she didn't ever want to let go. A mischievous smirk came across the she cat's maw as she thought for a moment, and she glanced over at the tom. "Why, what's the matter? Are you scared of a little adventure now? What do you think I'm going to do, get you into trouble?" She joked a little, although she kept her hues fixed on Snakekit's face to see if it showed any flicker of emotion. "How stupid do you believe me to be?" She asked with a snort. She didn't expect an answer and probably would have gotten offended if he had gotten one.

The somali watched the molly in front of him, his orbs narrowed as she began to speaking again. Her words were generated from her pity of due to what she had said to him before. He glanced away for a moment as she show him her slight pity, and he listened to her as she spoke. He wasn't sure how to go about thinking of what she said. He felt embarrassed that she had noticed his hurt look, plus he wouldn't consider it much of an apology. Though Berrykit seemed to be trying to cheer him up just a bit - but it also seemed like she wasn't use to doing such a thing. 'Maybe' I'm better than what she thinks?

But the tom just shook his head, not wanting to ponder on it for too long. After all, he just really wanted someone to play with with anyway. "It's fine," he mewed, trying to seem upbeat as he did so.

Snakekit watched nervously as he suggested moss-ball, observing Berrykit's reaction to the game. She didn't seem to be interested in such a game. But moss-ball could be fun! He silently supported his own suggestion, but didn't want to do so aloud, unsure how Berrykit might react if he were to push the game. He wasn't too keen on playing it himself, which was the reasoning behind offering to go out onto the territory. But he had regretted that decsion right away.

The young tom was surprised to see that Berrykit seemed to be interested in going out onto the territory. He had thought that maybe she wouldn't since they would be breaking the rules by doing such a thing. Does she really want to go? He then realized that he may have took back to suggestion a bit too soon since she wished to go out onto the territory. I'm all for breaking rules, but maybe that one is too far? Snakekit almost said that out loud, but again, he wasn't sure how the molly would react to that.

Snakekit's pelt prickled at the challenge she threw at him. She was jabbing at him, asking if he was scared of a little adventure. "No way!" He snapped back, and puffed out his chest. "I live for adventure!" Snakekit knew that he couldn't back down know, couldn't take back the suggestion to go and explore the territory with Berrykit. Or else he would look like a coward. He then flattened his ears as she continued to talk about herself, and if he had thought that she would get him into trouble. "It's not about tha-" he began, but Berrykit quickly questioned how dumb he thought she was. "I don't think you're dumb!" He quickly stated. "Let's go then!"

Berrykit's hues gleamed again and she thought for a moment. To be honest, she was used to cats hanging on her every word, and if they didn't- well- she wasn't much of a friendly cat towards them, then. Snakekit seemed decent enough. At least he hadn't made any rude comments about her so far, which was more then most cats could say. For some reason, Berrykit found herself often getting rejected because she was 'too bossy.' How is that possible? I have leader quality, they're just too jealous to see it, she thought with a scoff. That was her actual opinion of herself. Whether or not it was true was questionable, but in Berrykit's mind there was no doubt that she was a natural born leader and everyone else should pay attention to her. "Oh. Okay," The she cat mewed. It seemed as though she was just a little too quick to accept what he had said without another thought. That was another thing about the she cat; she seemed to be almost oblivious to others' feelings. She was great at figuring some things out, like if she was really annoying another cat, but...something like this? No, she was no good at it at all. Her ginger and white tail swished on the ground, stirring up moss and dust as it did so, in a manner that wasn't the most pleasing. She hadn't realized she was brushing dust all over her own pelt, and once she did realize it, shrugged and continued onwards. It simply wasn't a big deal to her. At least, she didn't understand the big deal about it. She was as proud of her pelt as the next beautiful, leader-like, amazing she cat...but unlike them, what set her apart was- well, there were several things, but the one that she considered to be greatest was that she wasn't quite as fussy about her appearance as they were. She could see the surprise glinting in his own hues and silently congratulated herself.

Looks like she had met her goal. The element of surprise was something that Berrykit almost worshipped, something that she liked a lot. Her satisfaction changed to amusement as Snakekit jumped to defend himself. "Do you really?" She asked, her laughter obvious in her tone, although she regretted it. She knew there was always a final push somewhere, and she generally managed to find it pretty quickly...although the tom had been tolerant of her this long. We'll see how long this lasts. She thought, the tip of her tail twitching as she smirked a little. There had always been other cats who had thought she might make a good friend- but Berrykit had always driven them away way too early for her liking. Since then she had sort of given up on the idea. What was the point? She was only going to lose them eventually- after all, everyone died at some point- so there was no sense in getting close to a cat only to lose them later. Her own hues widened in surprise. It seemed to her that the majority of other cats did believe her to be dumb. At least, they didn't deny it like Snakekit had...well. I guess I should say something...nice now? She thought, with an uneasy twitch of her tail. "Um- thanks? I don't...think you're dumb either?" She mewed uncertainly. A splendid victory. She thought sarcastically, although she didn't want to say anything else quite yet. For a moment she hesitated, and then the gleam returned to her hues. "Alright, let's go." She mewed, springing to her paws. This might go better then she had planned. Then again...nothing ever went as she planned. So it would just sort of...depend.

Their conversation quickly turned bitter, and Stormblaze glazed down in shame. He was aware that she should've spent more time with his family, should've gotten to know Lotusheart before the kit's birth, back when her and Fogstep first became mates. He should've visited the kit right after their birth and tried to see them whenever he could. He should've always been there for every moment in Fogstep's life, especially those important ones like Lotusheart and the birth of their kits.

I know it sounds dumb, I can't even understand these decisions of mine so how could you? Maybe I found myself unlucky to my family - but now that Fogstep is gone I want something of his...." the warrior then realized what he was saying. It was rare for the jaded tom to spill such feelings to someone, he rarely even spoke to Fogstep about this stuff.

"So I'm sorry," he quickly added, looking towards his daughter-in-law now.
"I want something of his..." she echoed the words in her head as her green hues narrowed once more. It sounded almost selfish, like he hadn't cared up until his son died. How dare he come to her kits for that purpose. Perhaps the Maine Coon took it the wrong way, but it sounded awful in her ears, which were beginning to pin to her head. "So you only decided to think about us after he died? After they hadn't needed as much comfort as they did after they went through so much grief?" she muttered. The loving queen was suddenly sounding defensive and annoyed. She ignored the entire thing about him expressing his feelings. She didn't know him so how would know he never expressed such thoughts or that he rarely did in general.

Lotusheart sat upwards, meeting Stormblaze gaze at eye level. Her green ones were searching his, unsure what else to do or say. How could she? She didn't know how to express such feelings as this considering she was normally a loving spirit who never showed aggression. He wouldn't know that though.

RowanKit yawned as he laid down on his moss bed, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

[GingerSnap04]

Hazelkit looked around nervously. Where was she? She lifted one of her white paws and examined it. It hurt.

[Hexict]

Berrykit's hues gleamed again and she thought for a moment. To be honest, she was used to cats hanging on her every word, and if they didn't- well- she wasn't much of a friendly cat towards them, then. Snakekit seemed decent enough. At least he hadn't made any rude comments about her so far, which was more then most cats could say. For some reason, Berrykit found herself often getting rejected because she was 'too bossy.' How is that possible? I have leader quality, they're just too jealous to see it, she thought with a scoff. That was her actual opinion of herself. Whether or not it was true was questionable, but in Berrykit's mind there was no doubt that she was a natural born leader and everyone else should pay attention to her. "Oh. Okay," The she cat mewed. It seemed as though she was just a little too quick to accept what he had said without another thought. That was another thing about the she cat; she seemed to be almost oblivious to others' feelings. She was great at figuring some things out, like if she was really annoying another cat, but...something like this? No, she was no good at it at all. Her ginger and white tail swished on the ground, stirring up moss and dust as it did so, in a manner that wasn't the most pleasing. She hadn't realized she was brushing dust all over her own pelt, and once she did realize it, shrugged and continued onwards. It simply wasn't a big deal to her. At least, she didn't understand the big deal about it. She was as proud of her pelt as the next beautiful, leader-like, amazing she cat...but unlike them, what set her apart was- well, there were several things, but the one that she considered to be greatest was that she wasn't quite as fussy about her appearance as they were. She could see the surprise glinting in his own hues and silently congratulated herself.

Looks like she had met her goal. The element of surprise was something that Berrykit almost worshipped, something that she liked a lot. Her satisfaction changed to amusement as Snakekit jumped to defend himself. "Do you really?" She asked, her laughter obvious in her tone, although she regretted it. She knew there was always a final push somewhere, and she generally managed to find it pretty quickly...although the tom had been tolerant of her this long. We'll see how long this lasts. She thought, the tip of her tail twitching as she smirked a little. There had always been other cats who had thought she might make a good friend- but Berrykit had always driven them away way too early for her liking. Since then she had sort of given up on the idea. What was the point? She was only going to lose them eventually- after all, everyone died at some point- so there was no sense in getting close to a cat only to lose them later. Her own hues widened in surprise. It seemed to her that the majority of other cats did believe her to be dumb. At least, they didn't deny it like Snakekit had...well. I guess I should say something...nice now? She thought, with an uneasy twitch of her tail. "Um- thanks? I don't...think you're dumb either?" She mewed uncertainly. A splendid victory. She thought sarcastically, although she didn't want to say anything else quite yet. For a moment she hesitated, and then the gleam returned to her hues. "Alright, let's go." She mewed, springing to her paws. This might go better then she had planned. Then again...nothing ever went as she planned. So it would just sort of...depend.

Snakekit's gaze looked Brightkit up and down as she watched him as well. He couldn't quite understand this molly. She had no one to play with - seeing as no one seemed to wish to spend time with her due to her annoying personality - but she also seemed uninterested in keeping Snakekit as a playmate. She didn't think before speaking to him, before saying harsh or bossy things. He wasn't sure if she was trying to be harsh, or if she was just speaking without thinking.

She was really chipping away at his nerves.

But he still wasn't going to just back away. The tom was adventurous and he was running out of play-mates. So he continued to try to think that she wasn't as bad as she seemed. Snakekit wasn't sure why she was acting this way, but he was sure that she wasn't meaning to be mean to him and that she would become better as they began to play. Maybe she was just acting up because they didn't really know each other yet? Maybe she just makes terrible first impressions, but isn't so bad once you get to know her? Brightkit was probably just acts up when she meets new people. Or at least that's what he had hoped....

The abyssian shook his head and watched her as she responded to him. The tom's ears twitched as she questioned him, but he didn't say anything and just watched her as she laughed at that. But the laugh angered him. "Yes!" He snapped quickly, trying to defend himself. The kit then flattened his ears and looked awkward after snapping. He was really trying not to get into a fight with Brightkit, looking for more of a friend to play with rather than an enemy to fight. He wasn't one for fighting anyway, and preferred a good game instead.

He blinked as she awkwardly mewed that she didn't think he was dumb either. He could tell that she was just saying it to say something nice since he had stated he didn't think she was dumb. But why would would he? He hasn't known her for long, and they were only talking about playing... he would decided if she was dumb later. For now he didn't really have any thought about her intellect... for now, anyway. But he wasn't sure if he should say something after her painful looking complement. So he instead decided to stay silent and gave a small nod of appreciation at her words.

As she then agreed with him and seemed ready to go out now, Snakekit gave a curt nod of his head. He wasn't sure if they would even be able to get onto the territory without being caught and then punished. Though he felt like he was in too deep now, and he couldn't back out or else Brightkit would get really annoyed with him, wouldn't she? Besides, he had always wanted to go onto the territory....

"Then come on!"

[Hexict]

"I want something of his..." she echoed the words in her head as her green hues narrowed once more. It sounded almost selfish, like he hadn't cared up until his son died. How dare he come to her kits for that purpose. Perhaps the Maine Coon took it the wrong way, but it sounded awful in her ears, which were beginning to pin to her head. "So you only decided to think about us after he died? After they hadn't needed as much comfort as they did after they went through so much grief?" she muttered.

She didn't know how to express such feelings as this considering she was normally a loving spirit who never showed aggression. He wouldn't know that though.

Stormblaze flattened his ears in as he was taken aback by her snap. The motherly queen had a surprisingly defensive and annoyed tone. The warrior watched her for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. He hadn't expected her to snap back at him so quickly. The multi grey tom wasn't sure what else to say that wouldn't anger the cat before him any more. Stormblaze was still trying to get on her good side so he would be allowed in her kits' lives.

But it wasn't going so well.

It wasn't like he was happy about his decision to pulled away from Fogstep's new family. He had slowly grown apart from his son when Lotusheart came into his life, seeing her as a replacement instead of anything else. He had thought that his son wouldn't need him anymore when he had Lotusheart. It had been the two of them for so many moons, Stormblaze didn't know how to accept his son's mate. The warrior hadn't wanted to be jealous of her, he hated the feeling of being jealous, but he was that nonetheless.

Though he wished he would've been able to let that go. Then maybe he could have possibly tried to get involved with Fogstep's new family prior to his murder. But it was too late for that. Everything had already happened, and Stormblaze found himself alone once more. He was hoping that maybe if he could have something of Fogstep, then maybe he wouldn't fall back into his dark depressing after loosing everyone he's ever loved.

He felt cursed.

Stormblaze began to feel uncomfortable as Lotusheart continued to look into his yellow orbs. "Would it change anything if I even tried to explain it?" He began, his voice came off a bit cold, which isn't what he had intended. The warrior then gave a sigh and continued. "I wasn't keen on Fogstep having a family because I was jealous he wouldn't need me anymore... but now that he's gone, I know how much I was wrong to begin to distance myself from him or not bother with you," he glanced back towards the ground. "But I can't change that, I just want to be in the kits' lives...."

Lotusheart awaited his reply, his forest green hues were alight with a hint of anger and more so curiosity. She let out a small sigh as he did and turned her gaze away from him. At this point the silence was starting to mean he wouldn't defend himself and that he really wasn't the feline she thought he was. Finally he spoke. Her gaze turned back to meet his and she quietly listened. As he spoke it was obvious how her hues softened a bit more into sympathy rather than anger. She almost felt bad because he was explaining that he was feeling replaced. Lotusheart shuffled on her paws a little bit feeling uncomfortable as well now. "Nothing can replace and father-son relationship. Fogstep may not have always needed you, but it's apparent you needed him" she spoke softly. His last few words took her off guard, but could she really deny him the opportunity to be around his grandkids? "But if you really want to be and you try, then perhaps you can come by whenever. I'm sure they'd love to see you out in the clearing,"

Though he felt like he was in too deep now, and he couldn't back out or else Berrykit would get really annoyed with him, wouldn't she? Besides, he had always wanted to go onto the territory....

"Then come on!"
The tip of Berrykit's tail began to twitch as she watched Snakekit looking over her. What was he doing? Was he trying to bother her, or was he being- literally- a copycat? She glared at the tom, her hues snapping as they usually did, and she turned away with a careless flick of her tail. Truth be told, she was interested in keeping him as a playmate- he was the first not to just walk away when her bossy...or as she preferred to think of it, leaderlike- tendencies took over. The she cat sighed half-dramatically as she waited for Snakekit to say something.

Anything would be better then him just watching her, waiting...waiting for what? An apology? Something else? What was he doing? Berrykit hated it when other cats puzzled her. She was supposed to be strong, indestructible, even...and yet somehow it seemed that Snakekit was finding the kinks in her armor. She hated being watched. Feeling like she was judged. Not knowing what others wanted from her. Those were all the bad kinks, and yet he had found a few good ones as well- Approval. Acceptance. Perhaps he wasn't as approving of her, but he seemed to be accepting her fairly well, something for which she was grateful. For a moment, she considered dropping it. After all, he was trying to be nice to her...shouldn't she at least give him the slightest bit of approval, maybe just a real friendly smile or something like that?

And then her thoughts faded.

He had snapped at her. At her! Well, that was something that Berrykit considered to be ruder then herself- which was pretty much everything, since she considered herself to be the absolute image of perfection. "Don't snap at me," She said in a calm voice. Not angry. Not scared. Not frustrated. Not hurt. Not any of the emotions that were swirling around inside her, threatening to spill out as quickly as they could. She was calm. Well, that was something that was actually dangerous with Berrykit...the calmer she seemed, the more angry she was. But she wasn't going to give up the chance for a friend. And maybe he hadn't meant it.

After all, he did look sorry...in a manner of speaking.

Berrykit's hues softened and she turned away, before they snapped back up at his response. Perfect. She thought with a smile. A real smile- not a fake one. The truth was, she was really happy that he was actually going to do this...she had half expected him to give up and back down. But he hadn't. And that, in her opinion, was an admirable quality...though she would see. There was still time for him to give up- though so far, she had already had him, in her mind, as the type of cat who didn't give up easily.

{Do you want to take this to the territory now, or would you rather respond in the nursery and I can post in the territory?}

Smokeykit padded in circles, the now older and of course more hyper kit bounced her head around, trying to focus on going in the same path. The blind kit then suddenly bounded and pounced on an entering warrior. Her mother has talked to him, Smokey knows this. Smokey knows alot, almost everything she knows. She is wise for her age, or at least would be if she wasn't so darn hyper. She gave a small purr as she sat and looked off into space since she could only guess his location. "Hello, you're Jasperpelt right? Well you probably know but I'm Smokeykit! I'm Lotusheart's daughter. Why are you in here?" she asked, talking extremely fast for the kit. Something about her was this. She could talk so fast no one would catch a word and would have to stop her because she couldn't catch if they needed it on her own, mostly because she can't really see if they need it, but she could feel it.

[Hexict]

Lotusheart awaited his reply, his forest green hues were alight with a hint of anger and more so curiosity. She let out a small sigh as he did and turned her gaze away from him. At this point the silence was starting to mean he wouldn't defend himself and that he really wasn't the feline she thought he was. Finally he spoke.

His last few words took her off guard, but could she really deny him the opportunity to be around his grandkids? "But if you really want to be and you try, then perhaps you can come by whenever. I'm sure they'd love to see you out in the clearing,"

The warrior watched as the queen's orbs softened at his story. His thick pelt prickled slightly, though not enough that it was noticeable. He wanted her to be okay with his visits to the nursery and spending some time with the kits, and he knew that the softening was a sign of her finally giving in and letting him do so - yet he felt pitied. The proud tom hated to receive pity. He did deserve it from the moons of pain he had been through, but he felt weak when other pitied him... if he was becoming mentally weaker with each tragedy.

But he forced his fur down as she began to speak. His yellow eyes looked guilty as she informed him that he would never be replaced, the father-son relation was unbreakable and he shouldn't have felt threatened just because Fogstep had become mates with Lotusheart. And even when they had kits, there was no replacing Stormblaze despite having more family. That he and Fogstep had a close relationship and he should have known better than to distance himself due to mouse-brained fears. And even when they had kits, there was no replacing Stormblaze despite having more family.

But Stormblaze had still feared not being needed. His whole life he had always had a small family, yet he was happy with that. When he was a kit, he had grew up with only his sister. When he joined Riverclan had basically only had Darkeye. It was just the two of them for moons, and when they finally had kits she had left him to go join Shadowclan, taking the kits with her. Stormblaze had then formed a bond with Brightcloud, and they quickly fell in love... but it was short lived. They soon had kits, and his mate along with two of their kits had died.

Meaning all he had left was Fogstep.

So when his son had gained a family of his own - having a mate and even kits - he had assumed that he was no longer needed. It had become natural to him for one to have a small family. He had lived his whole life going from small family to smaller family, so why wouldn't he expect Fogstep to stop wanting him in his life?

Lotusheart seemed to finally give in and was now allowing him to visit his grandchildren. Stormblaze watched her as she said that he was allowed to visit whenever he wished if he really did want to be in their lives. She then added that she was sure they would love to see him in the clearing. The warrior gave a small nod, but his orbs were filled with gratitude. "Okay," the large warrior got back to his paws. He gave one last look towards Lotusheart. "I'll visit again," he added before heading out of the nursery. He was sure that she was done with his presence. Despite their conversation, he did still feel a bit awkward around her nonetheless.

Lotusheart watched as Stormblaze nodding and enjoyed the gratitude that she could see in his hues. As the tom-cat turned to walk away, she hardly had time to say good-bye. It was so sudden. "Hopefully..." she replied quickly before the tip of his tail disappeared into the clearing. She wasn't sure if she liked Stormblaze or not, but she was too nice of a cat to not allow him to see his kin. Turning to look towards the kits again, she let out a small sigh.

Lotusheart had left the den momentarily to go retrieve a small Crappie from the fresh-kill pile. Today was going to introduce meat to the kits. Although as she squeezed her way into the nursery, she was stopped dead by the familiar black pelt that lingered close to the nest. The scent from the tom-cat reached her nose and she relaxed a little bit. It was only Jasperpelt. That scare was over now. The queen stepped into her nest, searching the nursery for her kits now. "Smokeykit, why don't you come towards me real quick. You can be the first to try what I have brought inside," she gave a small purr. She knew this kit had been blind since the day she was born, so introducing the fish to her would be a hassle to say the least. As Lotusheart settled into the nest, she took a bit from the Crappie to reveal the pink flesh it had to offer while she ate the bite filled with it's scales and skin.

Smokeykit heard her mother call her over and so she stumbled over to her, but a lot less then usual, as she was getting better. "Yes Mommah?" she purred, and stood, her face looking in the distance. She smiled goofily, shuffling as they hyper kit felt ready to bounce about, until she sniffed and smelled a rather staring w and new scent. She the padded closer and sniffed down until her nose smacked straight into the fish. Startled slightly, she crinkled her nose and smacked it with her paw. "What's that?!" She meowed, giving a small but quite cute snarl.

The black furred tom smiled as a young kit bounded over to him, introduced herself as Smokeykit, and then began asking questions. "That's right. It's nice to meet you, Smokeykit...I'm just visiting." He mewed, with a smile in the young cat's direction. Nice to know there are still kits who can be bright and happy like her. I wonder if she realizes...he thought, his thoughts trailing off at the arrival of his friend. For a moment he tensed, not quite sure how she would react to seeing him so close to her kit, and then relaxed when he realized she wasn't worried. He hadn't expected her to be too nervous that he was talking to the younger cat, but then again...sometimes queens could be fairly unpredictable when it came to their young ones. She knows I wouldn't hurt her kits. He told himself confidently, with a flick of his tail. There was still that slight doubt at the back of his mind, though Jasperpelt tried to get it away. He grinned as she set the fish down, and Smokeykit- as he was now aware her name was- bounded over towards it, wrinkling her nose as she realized there was something new. He could remember trying meat for the first time too- at least he guessed that was Lotusheart's intention. She seemed to be trying to get Smokeykit to try it... Jasperpelt stayed back, cocking his head to the side slightly as he watched the older and younger cats. He didn't want to interfere in this- it was a big milestone for them, and Lotusheart should be the one explaining it to them. Not him.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Lotusheart didn't mind that Jasperpelt was around, however when she was around her kits, she was more focused on them and therefore her personality alters a little. As she stood quietly and watched, she gave him a friendly smile before looking towards Smokeykit again as she snarled at the fish. "Take a bite of it," she replied, pressing her paws on the fish to cover up the parts with the scales so Smokeykit could easily find the flesh that she'd opened up for her. "It won't hurt you, it's just a fish," she gave a small chuckle of amusement. As Lotusheart awaited her daughter to take a bite she couldn't help but try to remember her first fish. Although that was too long ago and she didn't know if what she was remembering was actually a memory or something that she was merely picturing in her head. Although she did wonder if Jasperpelt remembered his first fish. She wasn't going to ask though, as she didn't want Smokeykit to get absorbed in talking like the kits normally did. Speaking of her kits as a whole, she gave the nursery a quick glance around, wondering where they had scampered off to. They were bursting with energy these days, but that made the queen a nervous wreck some days when she did lose track of them.

Duskflight

Blossomkit paced around the nursery, looking for something to do. Breathing in and out with each tiny pawstep, she just wanted something to do. She saw her mother talking, but it was probably about warrior stuff. then she saw Smokeykit with her mother, but after she accidentally made fun of her, she didn't want to talk to her again. The Havana Brown turned her gaze back to the ground, which was very boring. She kneaded her paws in the ground, waiting for something fun to do. At that moment, an idea popped into her head.

Lochkit was no where to be seen, so Quailkit was the one who was left. "QUAILKIT!" She yowled, wanting to get thir attention. She hoped that they were in the mood to play.

Blossomkit paced around the nursery, looking for something to do. Breathing in and out with each tiny pawstep, she just wanted something to do. She saw her mother talking, but it was probably about warrior stuff. then she saw Smokeykit with her mother, but after she accidentally made fun of her, she didn't want to talk to her again. The Havana Brown turned her gaze back to the ground, which was very boring. She kneaded her paws in the ground, waiting for something fun to do. At that moment, an idea popped into her head. Mossball! But who would she play it with? She didn't want to make new friends, and would rather play with her siblings.She didn't wnt to bother Smokeykit, so that was out of the question. Lochkit was no where to be seen, so Quailkit was the one who was left. "QUAILKIT!" She yowled, wanting to get thir attention. She hoped that they were in the mood to play.
Quailkit was in the far left part of the nursery, quietly grooming their fur with careful, precise licks, their ears perked up just in case some other kit or perhaps even their mother called their name, however the kit's eyes were focused on the ground as if in thought. Over the past moon of their life, the brown and white furred kit had made steady work of getting the art of walking down and had actively been talking to other kits, learning names and trying to befriend others too because that's what they believed to be the right thing. Quailkit thoroughly enjoyed being able to talk to others as well as helping others and providing advice if that was needed, but when they had time alone, they liked to recollect on things, refresh in their mind their manners, what was right and what was wrong, and careful little details of others, like things to bring up and things not to bring up in conversation with certain cats, for over the past moon or so, they have learned that some subjects offend others or are rather touchy.
Nonetheless in the middle of their recollection, they heard the familiar voice of their sister, or at least one of their sisters, calling their name, causing the kit to blink out of thought and lift their head, ears perked in the direction of Blossomkit. Seeing it was her, they started to purr and immediately smiled, sitting up as she yelled for them.
"Hello Blossomkit! Is there something you need?" They ask curiously, their head tilting slightly and subconsciously looking over her for any sign of injury.

Lotusheart didn't mind that Jasperpelt was around, however when she was around her kits, she was more focused on them and therefore her personality alters a little. As she stood quietly and watched, she gave him a friendly smile before looking towards Smokeykit again as she snarled at the fish. "Take a bite of it," she replied, pressing her paws on the fish to cover up the parts with the scales so Smokeykit could easily find the flesh that she'd opened up for her. "It won't hurt you, it's just a fish," she gave a small chuckle of amusement. As Lotusheart awaited her daughter to take a bite she couldn't help but try to remember her first fish. Although that was too long ago and she didn't know if what she was remembering was actually a memory or something that she was merely picturing in her head. Although she did wonder if Jasperpelt remembered his first fish. She wasn't going to ask though, as she didn't want Smokeykit to get absorbed in talking like the kits normally did. Speaking of her kits as a whole, she gave the nursery a quick glance around, wondering where they had scampered off to. They were bursting with energy these days, but that made the queen a nervous wreck some days when she did lose track of them.

Smokeykit looked at it oddly and slowly bent town, feeling her mothers fur that guided her to the flesh. she sniffed it and took a small bite and chewed. The taste was cold and, ell, fishy. Though it had a clean taste. She kinda liked it! She swallowed her small mouth fill and took another bite, this time much bigger than before. She was loving this! The fish tasted amazing and she wondered how this was better than what she was used to, milk of course. She took a few more bites and then swallowed and purred. "This stuff is good!" she meowed, but it wasn't long until her hyperness kicked in and she pawed the fish. "Does it move?" she asked, and caught her claws in a scaly part of the head and she rolled on her back, 'attacking' the enemy fish! She nibbled the head until she pulled off some scales which then she jerked up and sputtered. "Ew! Gross!" she meowed, shaking her head furiously in disgust.

Jasperpelt watched the young kit in amusement, the tip of his tail twitching back and forth as he did so. He wasn't used to seeing kits trying meat for the first time, and he wondered if Lotusheart had ever seen a kit acting like this before. Probably. It's been a while since I've been in here, he mewed, looking down at the young cat. She was a lot bigger- he imagined all the kits were, since he had only met them once. He glanced at his friend, hues sparkling with amusement as he did so. Is she always this hyper? he thought, glancing at the younger cat again. True, kits did have a tendency to be more hyper and energetic...and if he remembered correctly, this was around the age where they became the most bouncy. He glanced at his friend once more, then down at the kit again, head cocked to the side as he watched her. Trying to stifle a laugh as she half-choked on the scales- he imagined it would be fine, if there had been any real danger of her actually choking, he would of course have jumped in to help- Jasperpelt turned his head to the side, clearing his throat to cover up the laugh that he could feel building up in his throat.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Lotusheart purred at first as the kit seemed to take a liking to the fish. That's a good sign, she hoped that the other kits would take as easily to their catch as Smokeykit had. Although her purring turned towards a chuckle as Smokeykit reacted negatively towards the scales. "You'll get used to it!" she assured, not hiding the amusement in her voice. "Now, that's all you need for now or you'll give yourself a stomach ache," she spoke, lifting her paw and nudging Smokeykit towards Jasperpelt, her green hues were brimming with mischief as she looked towards the tom-cat. "He told me he doesn't think you could knock him over," she spoke, crouching down to speak quietly into her daughters ears. Her tail tip was twitching and her gaze never left Jasperpelt. This was the playful side to Lotusheart. The side that she loved bringing out in front of her kits cause it got them playful. She told Smokeykit this white lie because she wanted to distract her while her siblings tried a little bit of the fish. As much as Lotusheart wanted Smokeykit to eat the whole fish, she knew the kit still needed a little milk and would simply get a stomach ache if she continued to eat.

[I didn't want this to be huge RP where everyone had to wait to reply, so Lone and Moon if you two wanna RP real quick, I'm gonna have Lotus call her other kits to try the fish]
Assuming she got Smokeykit to believe her white lie and become playful, Lotusheart gave her friend a little wink, her tail waving behind her and she lifted herself up to her paws and turned to see her other kits playing mossball nearby. "Lochkit! Quailkit! Blossomkit!" she called for the other three. Lotusheart quickly flipped the fish over and took another bite to clear the scales for the other three to try the meat. Swallowing, she waited, her hues were bright. She liked this. She really enjoyed watching Smokeykit try the fish for her first time and she couldn't wait to see the other three.

Smokeykit giggled as her mother nudged her away, and then smiled mischievously as her mother said what she did. She drew in a breath then snarled cutely and lunged at Jasperpelt, and tried her hardest to tackle him. She clung to his chest as she actually made the hit, and waited for him to fall, and she let her tiny claws stick into his fur, keeping her on his chest, but as he din't move she hung there with a blank look until she suddenly growled and tried to tip him over as she rocked side to side, lightly. Snarling cutely, she tried to pull herself up to nip his nose or lick it at least. "I... will... take.. you.. down.... grrr!" she said, saying each word as she tried to pull up.

The black tom hadn't been paying much attention to what had been said between the mother and her kit, but as soon as his name was mentioned he glanced up in surprise, catching the rest of the conversation. He shot Lotusheart a look that was slightly panicked...he wasn't used to playing with kits, and he didn't want to hurt the smaller cat. It was too late now. Smokeykit had already latched onto him, and now he was really surprised. The kit was stronger then she looked. He stumbled sideways from the sudden impact, more because he wasn't expecting it then anything else, and then grinned down at the tiny kit. "You can try," He mewed, standing still so that he wouldn't shake the smaller cat off. He was careful not to startle her by moving too quickly, but he slowly began to edge over towards another part of the nursery where it was less crowded and where there was more moss. That way if she were to fall off, hopefully her fall would be cushioned-- not to mention Jasperpelt would try and catch her, but there were no guarantees. He shot another look at the queen, but knew she was probably busy with her other kits. He was on his own here...and he was going to have to try his best not to panic while he was attempting to play with this younger cat.

For a cat that looked as though he would break when he touched her, Smokeykit was strong.

Snowkit stepped into the nursery, shivering from the cold outside. She sat down in a corner, hoping to find someone to play with.

She appeared to have something over there, but the kit couldn't exactly tell what it was.
"Come on, let's go see what mom has for us!" They purred out and gave Blossomkit a small nudge to her shoulder before bounding off towards Lotusheart, the kit's tail erect in the air to show their excitement for whatever it was that their mother was going to show them.
Getting closer, a strange smell hit the brown tabby and white kit's nose, it smelled pretty good too! Licking their lips, Quailkit got closer and peered curiously at the fish that the queen had, tilting their head a bit before looking up at Lotusheart.
"What's this mom?" Mewed Quailkit before looking back at the fish as they waited for their other two siblings to show up, knowing that she would probably explain it once the other two were here, but asking anyways because they truly did want to know what this strange thing was that their mother had.

Smokeykit giggled as he walked with her still clinging to his chest. All the while she was still trying to pull herself up and finally was able to rise up far enough and licked his nose. She giggled again and once she was over a moss bed, she jumped off and then immediately tried to tackle him although she didn't take the time to breath in to find his location, and so she missed by a long shot and tumbled into another moss bed. She rolled onto her back and laughed, and then breathed in, and rose to her paws and tried to tackle the warrior once more and landed a hit on his back. She crawled up to where she clung to his neck and she pawed his head and ears playfully. He acted more like a father then anyone she new, and not even Stormblaze could top him off, then again the kit didn't really like Stormblaze and found him to be really creepy. But she liked Jasperpelt and thought he was a really cool tom. "Psst, dun say nothin', but I think my mom likes you." she whispered, a purr in her chest.

The dark furred tom was somewhat surprised by the kit's sudden movement, and he nearly went cross-eyed trying to look down at her. A moment later she had jumped off, and then tumbled onto another moss bed. Though he was somewhat concerned by her reckless behavior, he laughed when she missed the second time, before smiling gently at the little she cat. A second after that she was on his back, pawing at his ears. Jasperpelt tried to look up at her, but he was unable to do so, due to her being on top of his head. He could picture the small kit up there, though, and a purr rumbled in his chest at the thought of it. Playful little thing, he thought, with a short laugh. Jasperpelt cocked his head to the side at the kit's next words, and thought for a moment. Likes me? Well I certainly hope so, since she's my best friend-- or I consider her to be my best friend-- maybe she's confused about what having a friend means, you're supposed to like each other. Jasperpelt laughed once more, before speaking. "Y'know, I think you're right. At least, I hope you're right. If she doesn't like me, this would be an awkward situation." He mewed with a slight shrug as he did so.

"Hey! You should ask her to a stroll along the river! She loves going there!" she purred, a mischievous look in her misty blue eyes. "Do you like my mom too?

"You'd make a cool dad, too." she said softly and pawed his nose.

For a moment Jasperpelt laughed, unsure quite what the young cat was talking about, before his laugh died and he looked surprised. "Wait-- you mean-- like that? Oh no, no, no...w-we don't, I-I don't...you...I..." He stammered, glancing over towards Lotusheart and then back at the small kit, swallowing hard. There was a lump in his throat and he couldn't figure out what to say to the young kit. "Uh...umm...S-Smokeykit, y-you know what...what happened with your Dad, right? I-I could...I could never take your Dad's place. An-and I don't...we're not...she's..." He was unsure quite of how to explain what was going on to the young kit. This had just turned awkward very quickly. He didn't like her like that. And she had a mate-- though true, he was dead, she would see him again one day in StarClan and things might be awkward if they got that way between him and his friend. "We're just good friends, that's all. I-I don't...I couldn't...I..." He didn't know how to finish the sentence. He had tried three times, and he hadn't been able to do it once.

Smokeykit gasped playfully. "You dooo!" she meowed, and jumped off into the moss bed infront of him and turned to face him. "You should totally ask her!" she meowed, and then took in a breath. "Hey mommah!" she called. The mischievous look in her eyes beamed as she gave Jasperpelt a rather 'Now you got no choice, I win' look, her and she turned to the scent of her mother again. "Mommah Jasperpelt has something to tell you!" she meowed again, and giggled.

Jasperpelt's hues grew wide and then he sighed. There was no use arguing with this kit, she seemed to want him and Lotusheart to be together. But-- he didn't like her like that. Maybe someday, considering that for one thing, her mate had literally just died-- and for another, he didn't quite know what to think right now. "Smokeykit, wait!" He mewed, but it was too late. Of course she had to go ahead. Think fast. Think fast. Think fast. Was the only thing that came to mind, replaying over and over again until Jasperpelt felt almost sick with how many times it had spun around in his mind. This was just wonderful, wasn't it? Here he was, with a kit who seemed to believe that it was 'meant to be' and now he didn't know what to do. I wish she could just understand that, but it's near-to impossible to figure out a kit. The tom thought with a sigh, the tip of his tail twitching as he tried to recall how his own mind had worked when he was a younger cat.

He just hoped that nothing bad would come of this, as he was sure it would.

Of course they wouldn't know what it was, unless they've seen her eating one here in the nursery. "It's a fish, my darling," she spoke, nudging it towards Quailkit first. "It's the prey we catch from the river, you'll learn how to catch one yourself soon enough!" she encouraged, hoping to spark up a little more of Quailkit's spirit. "Go on and give it a bite," she finished, giving the bluegill one last nudge before crouching down and waiting to see their reaction. Her ears swirled towards Smokeykit as she started calling for her.

"One moment dear, your siblings are trying what you had," she replied, turning her attention back towards Quailkit.

She had to make sure they'd be okay eating the fish, but she also wanted to see their reaction to it.

At Lotusheart's lick to their head, Quailkit seemed to brighten up considerably, even if they were fairly happy before, their still blue eyes {Though they will be yellow} seeming to fill up with a joy they always seemed to get when the kit was around family or other friendly cats, a smile of great proportions bringing that look of happiness to their face.
"A fish?" They pondered curiously, turning their attention to the bluegill before them, the kit's head tilting once more as they applied the label to the object in front of them, appearing rather tentative as it was pushed more towards them by their mother's muzzle.
"What a funny name, I hope it doesn't taste as funny as it sounds. And... And really? I get to catch this? When I'm bigger?" A look of surprise and exasperation starts to mingle with that happy look, their eyes widening as they tried imagining being big enough to land such a creature.
I wonder if they're hard to catch?
The more the kit thought about it, the more excited they became, smile turning into a wide grin as their head turned up to look at the queen, eyes practically sparkling at this point.
"I bet in just another moon I could do it! I mean, you have to show me how, but I'm sure I could do it, I'll make you proud and then.. And then I'll share it with all of you!" Now they were purring and looking back at the fish, suddenly not so tentative to take a bite.
With Lotusheart's eyes carefully watching them, the brown tabby and white kit leaned their head forward to give the piece of prey a more in-depth sniff before going to nibble at a more soft spot, careful to take small bites, still a bit nervous that they might not like the taste. Ears perking up as the new taste filled their mouth, they chewed awkwardly, since it was the first time that they've.. Actually chewed. First meal that wasn't liquid. And they absolutely loved it, a purr exploding in their chest as they eagerly went for another, slightly bigger bite before scooting back, knowing that their siblings needed to try too. Taking a long minute to chew down the other piece, they would look up at Lotusheart with wide eyes.
"Mom, that.. That was really good! Will I really be catching those when I'm older?" Quailkit asked with wide, excited eyes.

Now,his friend had not told him much about his kits. Infact,he didn't know much about his best friends family besides his mate,which he a formally met a few times. He was curious to say the least,he he wanted to learn about Russet more and more if he could. He knew about Shellkit,briefly had a conversation about her when taking to the ginger tom but from it he actually wanted them to meet. He slipped into the nursery quietly,not wanting to disturb any mothers or kits. Curious blue hues scanned the area of the nursery,trying to remember what the molly looked like to the verbal description he had received. He wondered if Russet every mentioned him to his kits,his pelt warmed at the thought.

Shellkit had been bored lately, to be honest. Russetstar's time for his adoptive daughter was seemingly decreasing, and the kitten missed having a constant parent in the nursery to help her with all the little problems she seemed to get herself into all the time. Even more than that, though, she missed Rabbitpaw, her adoptive sister and best friend, who'd become an apprentice already. Despite being only 4 moons old, Shell was already begging warriors to accompany them out of camp nearly every day. Shaking herself awake- staying in the nest was much more boring than the array of activities outside, even if she'd sampled all of them- the kitten leapt to her feet. The kit felt a sudden onslaught of dizziness- oh, she must've stood up too soon after waking up. Shellkit shook her head vigorously and blinked her eyes wide open, practically bouncing with excitement.

Spotting a relatively unfamiliar face, Shell bounded over to a tom, placing her paws on his silky soft chest and staring up into his eyes. "Hi!" said the kitten after a small pause, putting her small forepaws back onto the ground. "I'm Shellkit! Who're you?"

All was calm for a moment until he felt two small paws against his chest. His eyes widened at the contact and couldn't help but let out a surprised yelp-but he let out a chuckle nonetheless. He gave a small smile at her energy,he was surprised he found her so soon. "Hello there,my names Whisperblaze. I'm one of your dads friends,I don't think I've met you. Nice to meet you Shellkit!" his voice was it's usual softness;gentle. He never would raise his voice no matter what excitment,but his smile and tone of voice showed his happiness though.

[Dreams of forever]

A warrior brought in a small fluffy kit that hadn't even opened its eyes yet,"Would any she cat like to mother this little thing, I named it CloudKit." The warrior said setting the kit down,"Please keep her safe, I found her about to be crow food by a bunch of rouges, I fought them off the protect her. I'm her new father and I need a Queen willing to mother her." He mewed licking the kits tiny tan head

Smallwhisker looked over at the warrior. Her one kit laid with her. "I can take it. I will keep her very safe. She got up and walked over to the warrior, leaving her one kit to sleep. "I promise i will treat her like she is my own." she assured him.

Shellkit grinned, a quiet but energetic purr rumbling through her chest. "Oh, Whisperblaze! Dad's talked about you before!" Reinvigorated, her smile stretched even wider, seeming to struggle against the confines of her face. She was happy to see him- honestly, she was happy to see anyone at this point. Life in the nursery seemed to be on a different clock than in the rest of camp. Two moons to Shellkit would drag on seemingly forever- although seeing as she couldn't remember back more than roughly that amount of time, it made some sense. All she wanted was to be an apprentice already, to be able to venture out of camp and play in the cool water of the streams running off from the main river. To pass the time she'd decided the best course of action would be to meet as many new cats as possible- as that was what gave her the most energy and happiness. She didn't really need more energy, to be honest, but more happiness was good for any cat, even those as naturally cheerful as Shellkit.

"Oh he has? What has he told you about me?" he chuckled. He couldn't get over the kits enthusiasm. He loved kits,ever since his three kits had died he had felt lonely;even if they were in another clan. There wasn't any words he could form the emotion into-losing a child hurt him deeply. He didn't even get to meet them. He felt like he let his past mate Tumbledrop down,that because he didn't go to Thunderclan sooner maybe they would have lived. He blames himself. So,to see the sight of a hyper-active kits lifted his apirits greatly and made him feel at home;Riverclan;where his loyalty lied. He was happy to finally meet the kit,he hadn't met any of his best friends kits and he felt bad about that since they were so close. It made him feel like he had a family.

A dark furred tom padded into the nursery. For a moment, he considered looking for his best friend; but that wasn't why he was here now. Truth be told, he was looking for her daughter-- Smokeykit. The young kit had said a few things that had bothered him the previous day, and he was looking for answers... particuarly answers on what she had meant. What had she meant when she had said her Mom liked him? Did she mean like as in...love? He doubted it. Lotusheart's mate had died, she wouldn't be moving on that quickly. And besides that, he would feel horrible if he had to explain that he didn't share those feelings. The tom swallowed, glancing around for the younger cat. "Smokeykit?" He spoke in a low voice, so he wouldn't disturb any of the other cats around them. Though Jasperpelt was normally uncomfortable around kits, he found Smokeykit-- and Quailkit-- to both be quite friendly and fun to hang around.

{it's fine mine will be too}
Smokeykit's head shot up at the sound of her name. She knew the voice well, but he said it quickly, then stopped talking, so her head turned vigorously in searching for him. "Yes, Jasperpelt?" she called, a smile on her face. She was laying on Quailkit, having tried to get them to play shortly before Jasperpelt arrived. She jumped up, but when face first and tumbled into another nest, right at his feet. "Where are ya, weirdo?!" she called with a giggle, her ears perked and swiveling.

The tom glanced around for the younger cat, his yellow hues looking somewhat anxious. He was a little worried; not only because he was in the nursery, not being a queen, father, or kit; and secondly, what if someone asked him what he was doing with her kits? What was he supposed to say-- just playing with them? What would the other cats think? Jasperpelt shifted his weight, before hearing his own name followed by something soft tumbling into his paws. Partly horrified, partly amused, Jasperpelt backed up a couple pawsteps to see the young kit before him. "Right here. Smokeykit-- why did you say you thought your Mom, uh...liked me?" He asked, cocking his head to the side as he looked down at the younger cat. Normally he didn't get right to the point, but this was important... he had to know if this was something that was backed up with facts, or if it was just an innocent kit's remark. The tom wasn't sure which it was, but he was beginning to grow worried...what if it were true? What was he supposed to do now?

"She likes you! What more do I have to say? You are her best friend right? Well don't best friends become closer than that?" she asked, shifting her gaze to him, now able to catch his voice. She tilted her head, curiousity filling her eyes. "Why do you ask? Do you wanna know her favorite places so you can take her there?" she asked with a kitten giggle. She stood up, and looked at him. She wouldn't say it, but she predicted a relationship will grow between them. Smokeykit was good at those kind of things.

The tom shifted his weight, looking more nervous then he had felt in a long time. "W-well yeah, but...but not always. I mean, surely you have a best friend, don't you? Are you guys going to become closer then that?" He asked. So it was just a matter of opinion, and not a true fact that had actually come from her Mother. That he could live with. The tip of his tail began to twitch... aggressively, violently even. He was not happy. Or maybe he was-- at the moment, the only thing he could feel was major confusion. "Oh n-no, I was just....just wondering. I like your Mom a lot, and I care about her but...not in that way, and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a-a proven fact yet." He swallowed a little again, shifting his weight and looking down at his paws. Smokeykit made him nervous when she said things like that, because part of him wondered if it might be true. But the he pushed the thoughts aside, knowing that they couldn't be true-- they weren't true-- they just couldn't be, and that was all there was to it.

{hey jasper should be smokey's future mentor xD}

"It is! She likes you I can tell by the way she talks to you and by the way you talk to her, you like her back!" she meowed. "I can hear it in your voices. It's so obvious." she meowed, and giggled. The kitten liked Jasperpelt. He was kind, and he was helpful to Lotusheart. She honestly believed that he would make a good friend for her mother, even more.

{wow sorry this short ;;}

[SuspiciousMindz]

At Lotusheart's lick to their head, Quailkit seemed to brighten up considerably, even if they were fairly happy before, their still blue eyes {Though they will be yellow} seeming to fill up with a joy they always seemed to get when the kit was around family or other friendly cats, a smile of great proportions bringing that look of happiness to their face.
"A fish?" They pondered curiously, turning their attention to the bluegill before them, the kit's head tilting once more as they applied the label to the object in front of them, appearing rather tentative as it was pushed more towards them by their mother's muzzle.
"What a funny name, I hope it doesn't taste as funny as it sounds. And... And really? I get to catch this? When I'm bigger?" A look of surprise and exasperation starts to mingle with that happy look, their eyes widening as they tried imagining being big enough to land such a creature.
I wonder if they're hard to catch?
The more the kit thought about it, the more excited they became, smile turning into a wide grin as their head turned up to look at the queen, eyes practically sparkling at this point.
"I bet in just another moon I could do it! I mean, you have to show me how, but I'm sure I could do it, I'll make you proud and then.. And then I'll share it with all of you!" Now they were purring and looking back at the fish, suddenly not so tentative to take a bite.
With Lotusheart's eyes carefully watching them, the brown tabby and white kit leaned their head forward to give the piece of prey a more in-depth sniff before going to nibble at a more soft spot, careful to take small bites, still a bit nervous that they might not like the taste. Ears perking up as the new taste filled their mouth, they chewed awkwardly, since it was the first time that they've.. Actually chewed. First meal that wasn't liquid. And they absolutely loved it, a purr exploding in their chest as they eagerly went for another, slightly bigger bite before scooting back, knowing that their siblings needed to try too. Taking a long minute to chew down the other piece, they would look up at Lotusheart with wide eyes.
"Mom, that.. That was really good! Will I really be catching those when I'm older?" Quailkit asked with wide, excited eyes.
[well no one else is responding to this so it's a QuailXLotus RP xD]
Lotusheart chuckled a little bit. "You'll learn how to catch fish when you learn how to swim first," she spoke. This wouldn't be for another couple of moons. "Your mentor will teach you everything you'll need to know, but I'll be around for anything you need help with," the queen gave the kitten a warm smile. "You'll be a great warrior with an attitude like that, my dear," she purred lightly.
Now that Quailkit was taking a bite of the prey, Lotusheart watched carefully as they chewed, clearly savoring the flavor. She only hoped the kitten would like it. There really wasn't much else in Riverclan for a cat who doesn't like fish. A moment later, Quailkit's exasperation about how they loved it made her happy. Her emerald hues sparkled with delight. "Well eat until you're full, if you're hungry, soon this will be one of the few things you'll be eating. It'll make you big and strong and it'll make your pelt sleek and waterproof," she spoke happily. "But, yes, you'll be catching these all the time when you're bigger," Lotusheart concluded, clearly delighted at her kit's pleasure.

{wow sorry this short ;;}
{Ahh he has a future apprentice x.x
otherwise I would totally say YESSS}

The tom averted his hues from the kit, looking at the wall of the nursery and shifting his weight uncomfortably. If what she were saying was true, and if Lotusheart really did like him-- what was he supposed to do? He wasn't going to confront her with this yet, oh no...that would end in disaster for them both. He could feel it. But he could at least be friendly, and hopefully Smokeykit wasn't sure what she was talking about. Maybe she had just heard talk around the nursery or something-- queens loved to gossip, though his best friend didn't seem to.
　
"Listen, Smokeykit-- don't mention this to anyone else, okay? And don't get your hopes up. Or let your imagination run wild. Your Mom's been through a lot, I don't think she would like another cat just like that. Okay?" He mewed. He didn't know quite how to explain it to the kit, or if she would understand. The concept of love-- not like family love-- was difficult to talk about to a younger cat, but Jasperpelt was able to easily speak to the kit. Perhaps it was because she just seemed so at ease-- or maybe it was because he had taken a shine to her. Whatever the reason, the tom had a feeling she would respect his wishes, and he would be able to tell her if things were to get...like that between them.

Smokeykit tilted her head, noting the unsureness in his voice, but smiled yet again, nodding. "Yeah, surrre." she replied, and smiled softly. "Now do you need anything else, or just a lovely chat?" she purred.

"But, yes, you'll be catching these all the time when you're bigger," Lotusheart concluded, clearly delighted at her kit's pleasure.
In a rather comical way, a way in which Quailkit often tried to use to get the other cat to laugh, a smile placed on their muzzle, they listened to Lotusheart with those bright eyes of theirs. "Swim? Isn't that where you splash around in the water? Or no, no, that's when you.. That's when you glide through the water, right mom?"
Their head tilted the other way in the same comical fashion, a light-hearted giggle escaping their mouth, something that they wanted to hear come from their mother. Quailkit desperately wanted Lotusheart to be happy, they never wanted to see her sad again, not since their father died, they wanted all of the pain and sadness to be gone and wanted nothing more than for Lotusheart to smile for the rest of her life. The kit desperately cared for their mother, their heart ached at the slightest notion that she was upset, it was something that they never wanted to see again, never. So they always tried to make her laugh, make her smile, make her happy. Because in turn, Quailkit felt happy. The happiness of other cats filled the brown and white kit's happiness. "So I can be taught by my mentor and you? That sounds fun!"
With that, they had taken their bite of fish and very clearly loved it and seemed to be just as delighted to hear they they could eat as much as they wanted. "Wow! If it can do all of those things.. Why didn't we start eating this sooner?" The kit asked excitedly, grinning all the while before leaning down to take another eager bite, seeming to purr at Lotusheart's conclusion to show that they heard and acknowledged it, also pleased to hear that they would be catching these same exact fish when they were older and bigger.

[lone]

Smokeykit tilted her head, noting the unsureness in his voice, but smiled yet again, nodding. "Yeah, surrre." she replied, and smiled softly. "Now do you need anything else, or just a lovely chat?" she purred.
The tom looked down at the kit and narrowed his yellow hues-- though by now he was well aware that she wouldn't be able to see him, he could at least do it. Her skeptism bothered him. But he wasn't going to mention that... it would probably bother her, not to mention it would be quite rude. "Oh no-- I mean yes-- I mean no, I don't need anything else, but a lovely chat sounds nice. Since your Mom is... preoccupied." He glanced over towards where Lotusheart was now spending time with Quailkit, attempting to get them to try meat. He wondered what they would think of it... remembering Smokeykit's reaction, he smiled. "Do you have a best friend?" He asked in a low purr, a somewhat teasing tone coming into his voice as he did so. If she did, he could always mention that 'best friends didn't stay just best friends forever' or something of equal infuriation. Just as the little kit had done to him. Though perhaps a game would be better... in a minute he would change the subject to a lighter matter.

Otterkit yawned and sat up in her nest, licking her thick brown fur as she looked around the nursery.

[wickedvirtues]

She got to her paws, glancing at the other kits and looking outside of the nursery. "Maybe just a quick peek won't hurt.." she mewed to herself, shaking out her fur and walking towards the entrance. She gaped at the amount of cats outside of the nursery, at least five times the size of the tiny two-moon old kit. She glanced at her brother, Sunkit, and mother, Moonpetal. She snuck out of the nursery, gasping as a tom walked by. "Hello, i'm Tallstep" he mewed, looking at Otterkit.

[Random Melody]

Splashheart let out the most annoyed sigh she could muster, a scowl riddling her face as she gazed at the entrance. The blue-gray she-cat's blue eyes were narrowed to slits, just waiting for the next unlucky cat to come in and attempt to talk to her. Part of her was hoping Mixedfur would venture inside but what were the odds of that, slim to none? Splashheart tried not to feel too bitter that she hardly got any time with her mate unless he was bringing her food or water. He was busy with patrols and hunting, whereas she was stuck in the nursery dealing with overemotional queens and hyperactive kits. Not that she didnt love kits, but she was feeling crankier than usual. Mostly she wished she could get out, go see her siblings, go do something, but no, she had to stay in the nursery.

With a groan, Splashheart turned her head back to stare at her stomach, as she'd been doing for a while now. Her belly was round and plump, quite obvious she was expecting, and she could faintly feel the small kicks at her stomach, mixed emotions tearing through her. She wanted to snap at...Well herself, because the kits most likely wouldnt hear her if she told them to cut it out. And at the same time she found it somewhat adorable. These were her babies, she could never stay angry at her babies. Even if they kept her up all night.

Shifting into a more comfortable position - Oh, who was she kidding? No position was comfortable at the moment -, she fixed her gaze once more on the entrance. She felt restless, wanting to get out and do something. But she could do nothing but sit, and wait, and maybe take a nap. But she knew it was the time of the day Mixedfur usually came in to see her, as he tried to get in every day. Splashheart wanted him to visit more, yet she didnt want to hold him back from his warrior duties. She had mixed emotions about alot of things now, as if she couldnt make up her mind about what she wanted.

Angelkit bounced around the nursery remembering he had no mother. He sighed and laid down near a ball of moss. He flicked his tail looking around to see if there were any kits that wanted to play or talk. He closed his eyes and went deep into thought.

[Brilliance]

Splashheart let out the most annoyed sigh she could muster, a scowl riddling her face as she gazed at the entrance. The blue-gray she-cat's blue eyes were narrowed to slits, just waiting for the next unlucky cat to come in and attempt to talk to her.

Mixedfur ran quickly with a squirrel in his maw toward the nursery den. He hasn't seen his mate yesterday, and he promised himself that he would see her today. She must be really mad at him. He didn’t want her to feel as if she were alone in this. Because she wasn’t. He loved her. He just been entirely busy with his warrior duties! From patrolling, to hunting and keeping the clan well-fed, to doing nightly patrols. He had a lot to do, and he didn’t get a chance to nestle up with his mate, and dote on her about how much he loved her.

As he was making his way to the nursery, a wash of milk hit his nostrils. It was powerful--too powerful. He seen a couple other queens tending to their kits, and he looked around for his own mate. ‘’Splashheart.’’ He called through a muffled mouth of squirrel. When he made her out in one corner, he walked up to the blue she-cat, setting the squirrel down at her paws. Before she could yell at him, he quickly says, ‘’Sorry, I didn’t get a chance to see you yesterday. I did more patrols than I would had liked, and then I was on night patrol, and I got really tired, but I was dying to see you,’’ He says, before lowering his head to nose her stomach. ‘’And, our little Mixedhearts.’’ He smiles warmly, and he wondered if he felt a kick, or was that just his imagination? The tom brought his head back up, and went around her to lay down behind her.

‘’I’m sorry, Splashy. I just...I don’t mean to put my duties before my mate. Heh, I need to get my priorities straight.’’ He tried to joke, hoping to loosen her up. It probably wasn’t going to work since she was pregnant and experiencing constant mood swings. Something that Mixedfur got all the time, and had to endure. It tired him out, and he felt selfish that he kind of felt happy when she didn’t need him. Whenever she did seem him nowadays, she wanted to yell at him. Mixedfur completely understood it was the way that pregnancy worked, and he was never going to leave. He made her like this, he was supposed to finish with it.

Other times, Angelcloud and Heavencloud tried to help out as much as they could. Angelcloud had plenty of other duties to handle and Heavencloud was the prime one who would check on Splashheart whenever the queen needed something. Especially if Mixedfur wasn’t there to do the errands for her.

At the moment, Mixedfur was tired, but he came to see his mate as he promised himself. He pressed against her, hoping to warm her pelt with his thicker one. He gave her a few rough licks on top of her head. ‘’I’m sorry, love. I will do anything to make it up to you. But how was your day?’’ Maybe something he shouldn’t have asked her, considering she was put on nursery lock until she was ready to give birth to their little ones. Though she did have a few other queens to keep her company, which was also good. Maybe something did happen for her today.

Silverkit opened one eye to the sound of paw steps, she quickly realised it was angelkit, closed the beady bright blue eye wishing with all her heart that angelkit would notice her.

Angelkit opened his eyes and then padded over to her "hello silverkit." He mewed and smiled delightfully. "how have you been?" He asked softly and warmly

[coldheart]

Silverkit shot up at once and turned to face angelkit. she stuttered and then replied "good how are you?'. Though I couldn't be shown she was furiously blushing under her thick fur.

He said "im great." he grinned, "again, how old are you? im gonna be a apprentice soon."

[coldheart]

silverkit laid back down on her moss laid nest and replied "I'm five moons". She was so happy angelkit had finally noticed her.

He nodded, "tomorrow i'll be six moons!" He grinned and laid down next to her. He sighed

[coldheart]

Silverpelt dropped her gaze from the impressive kit. she sighed she was quite unpopular with the kits, she realized that her only friend angelkit would be out of the nursery before her. "that's great you furball".

Hr laughed and purred. "Well I hope you had fun talking, I'll be in my nest if you wanna talk or something." He dipped his head and walked away to his nest, curling up and flattening his ears.

Though she did have a few other queens to keep her company, which was also good. Maybe something did happen for her today.


Splashheart's eyes sharpened when she saw Mixedfur walk in, but when her gaze fixed on the squirrel, all was forgiven. Or, almost, until she reminded herself that she hadnt seen her mate yesterday. That made her annoyed, because she'd been stuck in the nursery with nothing to do, noone to talk to except for the other Queens and all they did was brag about their little kits!

Splashheart hardly got the chance to even growl at her mate because he was already apologizing. Splashheart found herself rolling her eyes at him and lowering her head to take a few bites of the squirrel, deciding to give him the cold shoulder. Thats how she felt nowadays. What she was mostly grateful for was that Mixedfur could put up with her constant mood swings and snappishness.

She scowled as he nudged her stomach, sending him a small warning look. She didnt feel like being touched right now, especially not by the Tom that had gotten her into this uncomfortable position. Again the mixed feelings were there. She wanted these kits out, out right now! While it wasnt painful, it was extremely uncomfortable, as well as boring, to be stuck in the nursery all day. Splashheart was one that didnt like to be tied down. Pushing the rest of the squirrel away, she looked up at her mate with narrowed eyes.

Splashheart sighed as Mixedfur settled beside her, giving up on the silent treatment and snuggling into his fur, ignoring the uncomfortable twinge in her stomach. Her eyes drifted closed easily, another sigh escaping her. The nickname brought both amusement and annoyance. Mixed feelings.

"Dont. Call me Splashy. Its not gonna get you out of trouble this time." She muttered, but her voice wasnt as hostile as she intended. Probably because she was more than exhausted, event though she'd mostly slept all day, when she wasnt listening to the gossip some Queens had. She hadnt really been listening though, mostly just checking for Mixedfur.

When he asked about her day, Splashheart let out a small, dry laugh at him, her eyes still shut. "Oh, my day? My day was boring. Yeah. Ferretblaze checked in once," Her tone became annoyed, thinking of the orange she-cat. The two tried to get along since Splash had found out Ferretblaze was Mixedfur's adopted mother and since Splashheart had confirmed she was pregnant, both she-cats agreeing the kits needed a grandmother figure, but that was hard because Splashheart was cranky all the time, and Ferretblaze was naturally snarky. "Stayed for a minute or two and left. Glad when she did, because she was trying to make small talk." Splashheart added with a scoff, sighing as she put her head on her paws. A part of her wondered when Mixedfur would have to go again, and another part of her considered tying him down so he couldnt leave. But who would get her more food if she did that?

[coldheart]

Silverkit sighed, she was never gonna be accepted in the clan. she curled up and went back to sleep.

He sat up and stretched. He sighed and saw silverkit. He laid down next to her thinking she was sleeping. He huddle closer to her and shivered a bit

[coldheart]

silverpelt felt fur against hers, she turned her head to angelkit and purred. she was blushing beyond belief at the sudden burst of affection from angelkit.

A part of her wondered when Mixedfur would have to go again, and another part of her considered tying him down so he couldnt leave. But who would get her more food if she did that?

‘’Aw, come on, Splash Splash. Don’t be like that.’’ He purred, trying to act innocent and brighten her mood. Sure, he hadn’t seen her yesterday, but didn’t he already give her a good enough reason as to why he didn’t see her? He was positive that he did. He had patrol borders to do--night and day. A double duty, and in-between the time he had been hunting with Dottedflame and Lucilleheart to keep the fresh kill pile up. They also been tending to the elders to make sure they were well fed.

As he heard about her day, his ears flattened to his head slighty. ‘’Splash, come on you said you would try to get along. Will you?’’ He asked. He was happy to have Ferretblaze and his mate get along. Those two getting along was like cats and dogs. He knew they hated each other, but what they were doing for him...getting along for the kits...that was worthwhile to him. Why could they not see it? ‘’At least, she’s trying, love. She’s only trying to make you comfortable.’’ Mixedfur adjusted his position so, that he could lay on his side. His back was pressed against the den’s wall, and he felt his mate lean into him. His ears had flicked her her voice--was she sleepy?

Splashheart probably was. After all, it had been a long day for the both of them, and Mixedfur didn’t object to sleep. But should he be willing to sleep here? The smell certainly didn’t fit well with him. ‘’In order to make it up to you, how about I sleep here to keep you company? I mean even though the milky scent smells really,’’ Mixedfur paused, thinking of a nice word instead of the word he wanted to say. ‘’Nice. It smells nice--you smell delicious!’’ To prove his point, the tom nosed the side of her neck, knowing she would most likely be annoyed by this move. After all, she had been when he nosed her stomach. She was so aggressive with these kits. The tom knew that it would be any moment before she gave birth, but there was only so much he could take.

Handling mood swings was okay to him, handling the attitude was settled for him, tending to her needs was important to him. But, her aggressive state, frightened him. It made him not want to be anywhere near her, even if she were his mate. Though the tom knew how to handle this well, and he left it in Starclan’s paws to handle well. ‘’I don’t mind being here with you tonight. After all, tomorrow I might have to do an early morning patrol, but I don’t know yet. I do know I have duties tomorrow, and I’m hoping that Angelcloud or Heavencloud will be in here to keep you company. That’ll be alright, right? W-w-would you l-l-like that?’’ He asked, a certain type of emotion displayed through his maw. ‘’But, if that’s not okay...I’ll see what I can do to help you.’’ His energy was depleted, but he made himself comfortable and he stared at the other queens, giving them a friendly charming smile.

Splashheart merely opened her eyes, and just to roll them at her mate, narrowing them at him as well. Splash Splash? Boy, he was asking for a nick in the ear wasnt he? But, Splashheart knew she wouldnt actually lash out at him. Physically. Why would she when she had a nice vocabulary to tell the Tom precisely how she felt. She knew his explanation had been reasonable. She knew how busy a warrior could be. But it wasnt enough. She wanted him there, yet it felt like when he was there she was so...Mean. She didnt like that. She was scared of driving him away.

"I am trying to get along!" Splashheart exclaimed almost snappishly, glaring up at the Tom. But the effect was weakened because of the smile twitching at her lips. She couldnt help it, whenever she looked up into his eyes it always felt like home, all the bad thoughts going away. Even though she wanted to be angry. Well she didnt want to be angry but....Whatever. Shaking her head in an annoyed way she looked away to continue her sentence, scowling. "Im trying. But I feel like dung all the time, and I get frustrated and cranky, and I drive everyone away." Tears pricked at her blue eyes, making her groan in frustration. Mood swings. Had to hate 'em.

Quickly blinking the tears away, she let out a soft sniff and shut her eyes, listening quietly to his words. Only when it seemed like he was going to say something insulting did she peek at him, her eyes slitting faintly, almost warningly. "Yeah thats what I thought." She mumbled. She huffed as he nudged her, and reached up a little to push his muzzle away, going from sad to angry in a heartbeat. "Quit it," She protested tiredly, giving a small yawn. Normally she'd enjoy the affection, and to be quite honest she still did, but she just felt so.....Frustrated at the moment. These mood swings even confused her. How was she supposed to handle that? "Sleep in here if you want. You're just gonna be gone in the morning again, out on patrol as always," She batted faintly at a scrap of moss, trying to disguise the hurt in her tone. She had liked being able to be by Mixedfur's side, but since she couldnt leave the nursery, she couldnt go anywhere with him anymore.

"Yeah, okay." Splashheart sighed, lowering her head to give her paws a few licks. Her blue eyes flickered toward her mate for a small second, watching him with the faintest frown. Angelcloud and Heavencloud were great company, but they werent Mixedfur. But to be totally honest, Splashheart didnt know who she wanted around her right then. What she did know, though, was she couldnt wait for these kits to come out - And not just because she wanted to see them.

What she did know, though, was she couldnt wait for these kits to come out - And not just because she wanted to see them.

Mixedfur listened to his mate with a calm ear. He understood that she felt homebound--couldn’t do anything much until the kits were born, and weaned off milk. He wished he could take her painful emotions away, but he couldn’t. If he had the power he would take away everything that made her sad, and pin it all on himself, so that she could only feel the happy things in life. Having kits were a treasurable moment, one that she quite did not come to yet, since she were still pregnant. ‘’You’re dung, love. You’re a field of flowers on a nice summer night. And, you didn’t drive me away! You know you can never get rid of, so give me everything you got, because I’m not going anywhere.’’ He frowned at her, the looked down at his paws.

The tom felt like he was failing her. He felt that he wasn’t fulfilling the job of being a worthy mate to her, but he brushed this feeling aside, and wrapped his tail around her loosely and softly. He didn’t want to squeeze the life out of her--literally. The kits, nor her stomach needed that much pressure. ‘’I said I might have patrols in the morning. Are you really going to be mad at me for something I cannot control? Besides that, tomorrow I have to tend to your needs. I have to feed you, make sure you have fresh moss, I have to make sure you get your lap of water. I have a lot of things to do.’’ He says, his voice slightly strained. He could feel the disappointment in her voice, but had it occurred to her that he was also...stressed? His energy have been deterring since she began showing and her mood swings have skyrocketed. He tried his best to look after her, and help out his clan as much as possible. He handled a lot more cats other than his mate.

This was why the tom was so thankful to have other friends around to take care of his mate. This was simply a phase, and soon the kits would be born and all will be well. For now, he had to keep his distance. His mate would be annoyed with him, and in no time would she lash out at him. He didn’t need that at the moment.

He heard the carelessness in her voice, and the tom was lost at words for a second. What was he suppose to say? Anything he said might triggered her, so he gave a light sigh himself and lowered his head onto his paws, looking away from her to face the den wall. Perhaps, maybe bringing a fish tomorrow for breakfast would cheer her up...Mixedfur hoped it would. He couldn’t stand the fact that he felt like she didn’t love him anymore. He tried his hardest to take care of her--but his hardest wasn’t good enough. Was anything ever good enough anymore?

This was why the tom was so thankful to have other friends around to take care of his mate. This was simply a phase, and soon the kits would be born and all will be well. For now, he had to keep his distance. His mate would be annoyed with him, and in no time would she lash out at him. He didn’t need that at the moment.

He heard the carelessness in her voice, and the tom was lost at words for a second. What was he suppose to say? Anything he said might triggered her, so he gave a light sigh himself and lowered his head onto his paws, looking away from her to face the den wall. Perhaps, maybe bringing a fish tomorrow for breakfast would cheer her up...Mixedfur hoped it would. He couldn’t stand the fact that he felt like she didn’t love him anymore. He tried his hardest to take care of her--but his hardest wasn’t good enough. Was anything ever good enough anymore?

Splashheart just listened to him silently, feeling the lump in her throat grow bigger. She couldnt help but think she was being too unfair. Sure she was pregnant and these mood swings were hard to handle, but that wasnt a good reason to go teeth-and-claws-bared on him. If Snowsong was pregnant, The thought filled her mind. Would she still be as sweet as she is now?

She couldnt help but think the answer was yes. After all, Splashheart was usually tempermental anyway, so these mood swings had these effects. But Snowsong could probably handle them and still be nice. Splashheart sighed, feeling a pang of resentment. Why did her sister always have to be so nice, and cheerful?

But she knew it wasnt her fault. At least when Foxthorn came over, which luckily he didnt get attacked for, he made it into a game...


"Okay sis," Foxthorn grinned, crouching in front of his sister. "Im a mean ol' ThunderClan warrior and im gonna attack your kits!"

Splashheart giggled, which caused some of the queens to look at her in amazement. "You touch my kits, ThunderClan scum, and you face my fury!"

"Your fury is nothing, ThunderClan will forever rule!" Foxthorn said playfully,tensing.

"Not as long as im standing," Splashheart retorted, laying her ears back in a challenging way. Foxthorn gave a crooked grin.

"Standing? I should win pretty easy then because you cant stand."

"Oh you jerk!" Splashheart yowled, hitting him on the muzzle playfully. "You're so lucky you're my brother or i'd kill you right now!"

"If you kill me, who's gonna teach the kits how to be naughty?" Foxthorn asked, grinning.

Splashheart smirked. "I hate you."

"I love you too." Foxthorn said with a grin.

Splashheart found herself smiling, amusement written all over her face. That had been the most fun she'd had since she'd had to move to the nursery, and she was grateful for her brothers ability to make everything seem better somehow. Splashheart raised her eyes to look over at Mixedfur, remembering vaguely.

They had started out hating eachother. Splashheart had acted like a complete jerk, a prissy little she-cat. And she was acting like that now. Did that mean..

"Hey." Splashheart lifted a paw and placed it on Mixedfur's muzzle, stretching up to touch her nose to his cheek slightly. "I love you." She mewed warmly, her eyes closing in content before she drew back and looked up at him, her blue eyes soft for the first time in a long time.

Mixedfur had winced at first, thinking that the queen was going to strike at him. But, instead she didn’t. She simply touched him gently, and tenderly, and his eyes clouded over in love. Those three words were what he needed in this time. This time where he felt down on himself, displeased with his actions. He could had cried in that moment, but he didn’t. Instead he returned her small affection, afraid that she would nip at him. He felt the tension between them, and decided that the less affection he gave her, the more happy she would be.

That’s all he wanted her to be. Is happy. The entire pregnancy was taking a toll on her, and he understood that well. However, he was excited about meeting his little kits. He couldn’t wait to shower them in love, and teach them new lessons. He couldn’t wait to play with them and take them around the territory. Bringing himself back to reality, the tom says, ‘’I love you too.’’ His voice was soft, frightened like. He knew he would always love her, no matter how aggressive this pregnancy was making her. Everything would be worth it in the end.

Her change of moods were completely confusing him. One point: she acts like she hates them. Next point: She blabbering that she loves him. Though Mixedfur preferred the later. As long as his mate loved him, then he would continue to dote on her. She was, after all, the best thing that walked into his life when everyone else seemed to walk away. Ferretblaze was always there though. She always had been, and he was thankful to have her around. Though he loved his mate and would come to her with any of his problems, he was proud to admit that he would go to Ferretblaze first. It was like a son going to his mother for advice, not his mate.

Mixedfur continued to lay close to her, moving a good distance from extreme personal space. He did not want to get his ears claws off if she decided that at the next second she would hate him. It was better to be safe than sorry, but he allowed his tail to faintly grace her side, so that she would know he wasn’t leaving. ‘’I’m sorry I’m not here every time you need me, but I’ll do better. I promise.’’ The tom replied while looking at the mouth of the den. His ears twitched at other animal sounds, but he made no movement. He was comfortable where he was, and across from them he eyed another queen, suckling her kits. She curled her tail around them, and looked up to see the mixed colored tom staring at her. She gave him a sweet smile, before she curled up herself, sleeping. Mixedfur tilted his head, embracing the sweet sight. Soon, he hoped that he would be able to walk into the nursery with Splashheart curled around their kits and a loving manner.

The tiny little calico maine coon, Lichenkit, rolled her eyes as her sister and brother Mossykit and Whisperkit. "Mommy, can I go play?" She squeaked, her pale green eyes glittering and putting on her adorable-kit face. Her mother, Minnowswim sighed, licked her kits head, and nodded. "Come on, Mossykit!" She squeaked to her brother, her sister Whisperkit was going to talk to the elders. Lichenkit pawed at her brother, a black and white tuxedo tom. Mossykit giggled and threw a paw at his sister as they went to find their father, Sunclaw.

Golden eyes darted across the nursery, hoping for any sign that the pain would stop. It figured that her first litter didn't seem to have a father, but with all the pain she felt, Birchstep figured her kits would also grow up not knowing who their mother is. 'No, you must keep going, Birchstep,' she thought to herself, hoping that she may live through this, and that her kits got out of her as fast as possible.

----

Panting, Birchstep lifted her head to gaze at her kits. The pain had finally subsided, and she could see her beautiful kits in the light shining through the nursery walls. She nudged a small kit with medium-length fur, licking her clean. "I think I'll name you Gracklekit," she said softly. She nuzzled the kit once more, then went to a kit as fluffy as Birchstep herself. "Poolkit will be your name," she said to the young she-cat. Sh cleaned the fluffy kit, then nuzzled her for a bit. "Lastly," she started, licking her final kit across the head. "you will be known as Otterkit." The blue aby looked like a small baby otter to the new-mother as she cleaned her off as well. Pride filled Birchstep as she finished naming her three kits, and she curled up around them, allowing them to feed.

----

Three moons passed since the birth of her kits, and Birchstep was restless. She wanted to go hunting with the other cats, but knew she had to stay with her kits. A part of her wished she would never have to leave them again, that they would stay as small as they were, but she knew that could never be. She would have to allow them to grow, especially if she wanted to hunt again herself.

--

Otterkit bounded toward her mother through the Nursery. The blue Abyssinian ran in circles around the other queens in the Nursery, careful not to step on tails or smaller kits, but reckless none-the-less. "Doesn't anybody want to play with me?" she asked as she neared her mother. Her ears were pinned in slight annoyance at her boredom.

Splashheart didnt miss the wince, and instead of feeling hurt, an amused expression flickered across her face. Her mate wasnt scared of her, she knew that, but he definitely was being cautious. Good. The last thing Splashheart wanted was to stay angry with him. And even with these moodswings, she still couldnt.

Splashheart shut her eyes as he returned the affection, for once since this had started feeling no annoyance toward it. Instead she welcomed it with a small purr deep in her chest, treasuring this moment. Because in the next heartbeat she could be as vicious as an angry as a fox.

Splashheart knew she was confusing the Tom. Heck, she was confusing herself. She didnt understand how these mood swings worked, how would she? She'd never been through this before. "I think this'll be our only litter," She commented quietly to her mate, ears flicking.

"Boy, isnt that good news." A familiar orange shape slid into the nursery, and Splashheart smiled slightly. It was Foxthorn, his green gaze glimmering as he smirked at his sister. He shook out his fur and padded forward, a vole clamped securely in his jaws.

"Brought you some food sis," He dropped the vole and looked down at the remains of the squirrel, ears flicking in amusement. "Oh. You've already eaten. Well then i'll just take the vole back and--"

"Uh, no," Splashheart clamped a paw down on the voles tail, glaring weakly up at her brother. "Im pregnant you moron, so im taking this and im eating it."

Foxthorn's whiskers quivered. "Feisty." He teased, stepping back when she lashed out at him, with her claws might I add. "Dang girl, trying to kill your favorite brother, how rude."

"Rowr." Splashheart bared her teeth mockingly before lowering her head, taking a huge bite of the vole.

"Grahr." Foxthorn growled back playfully, shaking his fur out again. He ignored Splashheart's glare and turned his attention to Mixedfur, whiskers twitching with amusement. "Is she like this all the time?" He asked, tipping his head faintly as Splashheart continued to glower in his direction between bites of the vole.

The small molly blinked her eyes open and let out a yawn, her small, white, sharp teeth visible through the motion. The grey molly looked up at her mother then down at her sister, otterkit. She flicked her ear and twitched her whiskers "I may in a bit, but be careful, you don't want to attract a fox with all of your wailing" she stated her head held high. The young kit didn't really like roughhousing with her siblings, she knew they were fairly stronger than her and she didn't like it when she lost. Poolkit licked her maw and shifted her weight to one side and grinned down at her sibling "I don't think I ever told you the story where I killed a fox." she said whistfully, her green gaze gleamed with amusement. Stories were her favorite, especially when they were about herself.

The little gray and orange dappled she kit shook herself awake. She blinked open her eyes, which revealed a beautiful color of leaf green, topped with light brown centers, closest to her pupils. She smiled immediately, seeing her other siblings were awake. Otterkit, wanting to play, and it seemed Poolkit was getting ready to tell a story. Bouncing into full awareness, the little fluff ball sat up, eyes turned expectantly to Poolkit. Smiling she mewed in her sweet voice, "You killing a fox? No way, let me hear it!" Her tail flicked wildly behind her in excitement as she scooted forwards, leaning closer to hear the tale her sister was ready to tell.

(So I guess everyone will post once as a newborn then we'll skip to 3 moons so it's easier to rp them <3 )

Mistyskip waddled into the nursery, her plump stomach lightly brushed the dusty ground as she made her way to the nest. She let out a grumble as her fur got dusty and disleveled, she didn't really like the crummy, dirty feeling on her stomach but she didn't really have the time to fix it at the moment, she had kits to give birth to. The grey mottled molly layed herself down in the soft nest with a huff, a few pieces of moss fell off of the bed as she did so. She took a few deep breaths and dug her claws into the ground, her tail lashed behind her. "They weren't supposed to come this early, darn kits threw my whole plan out of whack." she mumbled, although nothing but love dripped from her words, in reality she was thrilled to bits about giving birth so soon, she had asked Starclan to make the day come quicker. Although this isn't exactly what she meant by the wish. The warrior turned her bluish green colored eyes to the entrance of the nursery and glared 'He'd better be here for this. I told him specifically to be here the moment I began to give birth.' she thought, a tremor erupted through her body and she let out a grunt 'Although their birth is a bit...sudden. Either way, he should know where I am, and should hightail his happy butt over here.' she thought. A minute before the birthing was to begin she spotted plump stick and maneuvered it over to where she was laying and firmly gripped it between her teeth, now she could begin.

A fair amount of time had passed, the new queen was tired, hungry, and breathless. The deed had been done, she had 5 beautiful kits to care for and love endlessly. Mistyskip gave her newborn kits a gentle lick to the head and smiled, a purr erupted from her throat. She turned her teal gaze upon her newborns and nudged them close to her stomach. She gave her two toms a nudge, licking the darker grey toms head once more "...I'll name you Cygnekit." she said softly, she then looked at the lighter colored Tom "And your name will be Jaggetkit." she stated, her voice smooth, rich, kind, careful. She turned her loving gaze upon her two daughters "Now as for you two..." she trailed off before she twitched her whiskers and smiled sweetly. "Your names will be Veridankit and Juniperkit." she stated as she licked the top of their heads as she named them off. With this being her first litter of kits she was elated and fell in love with them before they were even born. She couldn't wait to see how they'd turn out when they grew up, all of the accomplishments they'd achieve. She looked down at her fur and let out an annoyed huff, messy, dirty, grimy. She hated it. As her kits fed she began to lick the dirt off her and wait for her mate to make his way into the den, hoping that bolderglare didn't mind the names she chose for their offspring.

(sorry I forgot to mention mine's name, it will be Greykit,
page is up now on my char site)

Greykit squealed in protest as she met the brisk cold world that met her outside the womb. There was nothing that could prepare her for this moment and from now on she would have to face things alone; not in the safety of her mother cuddled next to her developing siblings. Though they were born earlier than expected, she was healthy and strong. Her breath came in as fire as she squealed against her mother's thick belly fur, instinctively trying to push herself to milk and warmth again. Though it was so difficult for the youngster, she had barely been in the world for more than a matter of minutes. Nature was strong in its urges though and she let out a squeal for help from her mother, another instinct. Already the youngster was beginning to take in scents that she would never forget, that of her mother and of her siblings. From this day on they would be met with instant recognition, no matter what happened in their lives or how far they grew apart she would always recognize her family without a doubt. Though right now none of that mattered to the long ball of fur that was Greykit, she simply wanted fed and she wanted fed now. What a welcome to motherhood it was, a fresh bunch of squealing kits already needing guidance and protection. The tiny kit's world was still black, but it was beginning to burst with curiosities and scents that the small molly would only grow more and more curious, and which would drive her out of the nest when the time came. Until then, her mother would provide everything to give her the best chance at growing strong and having a good life.

Sunbreeze entered the nursery, her golden orange and white splotched pelt still radiating the warmth from the sun. She had been lounging in the clearing, talking with Colby, one of her closest friends,a nod definetky her biggest supporter. She had broken off the conversation though, deciding she had spent too long away from her kits. Sure they weren't actually hers, but she cared for them and loved them like family. These days though she wasn't sure if she adopted kits because she wanted to be like her late role model, Angelfeather, or if she was subconsciously hoping for a someone to fill the gaping holes left by her two dead biological kits, Mottlekit and Greypaw. She sighed as these thoughts swirled in her mind, she didn't know which it was, maybe it was a combination of both, but for now she had to focus on her current kits. They didn't have mothers of their own, so she had vowed to care for them. Besides it was a a Clan cats duty to help every kit in need, no matter where they called home. So that's what she did, and if that meant that she would be in the nursery most all of her life, then so be it, she was upholding her part of the warrior code,many thereby supported her Clan in doing so. She approached her nest, where her kits lie, and seeing most asleep still, she sat beside it and began to groom her fur.

A particular orange kit sat off in a quiet corner of the nursery. Mockingkit didn't have many friends so she normally kept to herself. She couldn't say that she really minded not having many friends. She was quite fine with it to be honest. The she-cat didn't trust many cats, so it was better if she only had herself for company. Mockingkit was at the age of four moons which therefore meant she only had two more moons before she could become an apprentice. She couldn't wait for that day to come. Being a kit wasn't that bad but it could get rather boring. Mockingkit wanted to start training and working towards proving herself to the clan. The she-cat hadn't been born in RiverClan, so she wanted more than anything to gain the trust and respect of her clanmates. The kit was ready to work her paws off during her apprenticehood. Mockingkit had been born with a sense of adventure and loved to sit at the entrance of the nursery, staring at the nature outside. If it were up to Mockingkit, she would've ran out of the camp already and tried to find something to hunt. Whether it be prey or berries. She just wanted to step out of camp and start exploring the territory.
Sighing, Mockingkit looked around, getting rather bored of sitting around doing nothing. Her golden gaze soon landed on the figure of her adoptive mother. A small smile crossed her maw. Sunbreeze was the only family she seemed to have. She was grateful that she had taken her in. Everytime she thought about her who real mother was, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards her. Had her real mother really hated her enough to abandon her? Shaking her head, Mockingkit rose to her paws and padded over to Sunbreeze, a soft smile resting on her face.

The she-cat hadn't been born in RiverClan, so she wanted more than anything to gain the trust and respect of her clanmates. The kit was ready to work her paws off during her apprenticehood. Mockingkit had been born with a sense of adventure and loved to sit at the entrance of the nursery, staring at the nature outside. If it were up to Mockingkit, she would've ran out of the camp already and tried to find something to hunt. Whether it be prey or berries. She just wanted to step out of camp and start exploring the territory.
Sighing, Mockingkit looked around, getting rather bored of sitting around doing nothing. Her golden gaze soon landed on the figure of her adoptive mother. A small smile crossed her maw. Sunbreeze was the only family she seemed to have. She was grateful that she had taken her in. Everytime she thought about her who real mother was, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards her. Had her real mother really hated her enough to abandon her? Shaking her head, Mockingkit rose to her paws and padded over to Sunbreeze, a soft smile resting on her face.

Sunbreeze hadn't seen Mockingkit over in the corner. Guess that was what she deserved having been out almost all morning talking to Colby. Oh well, she was here now and that was what mattered. Putting on a wide smile, she purred as her adopted daughter approached her. "Hello my little one." She purred, bending down to lick Mockingkits orange colored forehead. "How is my little darling? Stil, feeling alright here in the nursery I hope." She asked, her voice tender and sweet. She always tried to act, when interacting with her kits, as if they were the only thing that mattered at that time. She wanted to show the kits, who had no true parents for what ever reason, that they meant something to her and were more than just a nuisance. That they were loved and cared for. She showed them her love, and even if they didn't have their true parents, that they shouldn't mope around and be discouraged by that, she wanted to show them that they could be loved by more than just blood family, and that sometimes, friends could be more of a family member than the actual ones related by blood and kinship.

The missing warmth of her smile soon came as Sunbreeze licked her forehead. The kit had to think very carefully about how she was going to answer. "It's okay...." Mockingkit replied softly, her golden hues glancing around. The orange tabby didn't mind being in the nursery, but she felt rather out of place. For a four moon old kit, Mockingkit was rather serious and she didn't joke around very often. She did have a sense of humour, but only a few cats could make her laugh. Otherwise, she would give a response that was blunt and flat. That was just typical Mockingkit for you. She was serious and smart. She wasn't the most creative cat on the planet and liked to stick with reality. "Everyone is just so...." she trailed as she tried to think of the right word. "Immature." Was that the right word? She supposed she might as well just roll with it. Using the word immature was rather big when it came from a kit, however if you got to know Mockingkit then you would immediately think against that. "What if I never fit in?" she whispered to Sunbreeze, eyes looking rather sad. The kit did like this place, she just didn't really like to socialize with the cats here. The orange tabby had hoped from the beginning that she would fit in and have a nice life in the clan. But what if that never happened?

The tiny little calico maine coon, Lichenkit, rolled her eyes as her sister and brother Mossykit and Whisperkit. "Mommy, can I go play?" She squeaked, her pale green eyes glittering and putting on her adorable-kit face. Her mother, Minnowswim sighed, licked her kits head, and nodded. "Come on, Mossykit!" She squeaked to her brother, her sister Whisperkit was going to talk to the elders. Lichenkit pawed at her brother, a black and white tuxedo tom. Mossykit giggled and threw a paw at his sister as they went to find their father, Sunclaw.

Lichenkit was bored out of her skull, she'd been into camp many times at her three-moon old age. Mossykit was only two moons, much more excited to be in the area than Lichenkit was. Her father Sunclaw was a Siamese like Whisperkit. "Dad!" Lichenkit squealed, throwing herself at the tom and nuzzling his familiar smelling fur. "Hello, kits!" He giggled, nuzzling Mossykit and turning to Brightcloud. "Kits?" She asked, seeming slightly saddened and even.. disappointed? "Yeah! Sunclaw is our daddy, and Minnowswim is our mommy!" Mossykit squeaked, climbing onto Sunclaw. "I thought you knew, Brightcloud?" He asked, he seemed happy and cheerful with the kits in his fur. "O-Oh, right.." Brightcloud smiled and padded off, tail flicking as she sighed.

Sunbreeze smiled softly. She had dealt with a similar issue before, her other adopted kit, Willowpaw, had been similar, fearing she would never fit in. Sunbreeze would sympathisize though, she knew how, and thought her self rather good at it. Still giving an encouraging smile, she sat down. "My dear, you will. I can understand your awkwardness in being here. It hasn't always been your home, I know. Trust me though, you just try, though I don't doubt that you are. These kits here will be your generation of the a Clan. You all will have your chances to prove yourselves. You will most likely know these cats all the way through your apprenticeship. Don't write them off so quickly as immature, sure they may seem like it, but give them a chance darling. It's the least you can do." She said softly, leaning forwards to lick the she kit in the head. "Besides, you'll be an apprentice soon, you can go out and talk with the other apprentices too, if you still find the kits here...immature. Don't think I'm keeping you imprisoned here. You will always have some measures of freedom in this Clan, as long as you follow our rules."

The small molly blinked her eyes open and let out a yawn, her small, white, sharp teeth visible through the motion. The grey molly looked up at her mother then down at her sister, otterkit. She flicked her ear and twitched her whiskers "I may in a bit, but be careful, you don't want to attract a fox with all of your wailing" she stated her head held high. The young kit didn't really like roughhousing with her siblings, she knew they were fairly stronger than her and she didn't like it when she lost. Poolkit licked her maw and shifted her weight to one side and grinned down at her sibling "I don't think I ever told you the story where I killed a fox." she said whistfully, her green gaze gleamed with amusement. Stories were her favorite, especially when they were about herself.

The little gray and orange dappled she kit shook herself awake. She blinked open her eyes, which revealed a beautiful color of leaf green, topped with light brown centers, closest to her pupils. She smiled immediately, seeing her other siblings were awake. Otterkit, wanting to play, and it seemed Poolkit was getting ready to tell a story. Bouncing into full awareness, the little fluff ball sat up, eyes turned expectantly to Poolkit. Smiling she mewed in her sweet voice, "You killing a fox? No way, let me hear it!" Her tail flicked wildly behind her in excitement as she scooted forwards, leaning closer to hear the tale her sister was ready to tell.


Otterkit tilted her head in confusion. "I call mousedung! You're the same age as us, how could you have killed a fox?" she asked, disbelief filling her voice as she spoke. Whatever Poolkit was concocting was a lie, and the blue aby knew it. There was simply no way she could have killed a fox. They had barely been able to leave the Nursery for Starclan's sake! "Why would a fox want to mess with you anyway? Your stench would only drive them away!" Otterkit didn't know why she had said that. She had meant to only be playful with her sibling but it came out quite rude indeed. Well, what's done is done. There's no taking it back now. 'Birchstep is going to have my head for that one,' she thought, pinning her ears in regret for her own words.

-----

Birchstep lightly rolled her eyes at her kits, wondering where Poolkit had even heard of a fox. She certainly hadn't spoken of them before, but that didn't really matter now, did it? She watched in admiration at Poolkit's creativity, then glared as she heard Otterkit's words. "Otterkit!" she growled. "While it is absurd that your sister killed a fox, it is still not right to say that to her. Apologize. Now." The fluffy queen hated being cross with her kits, but it had to be done. Otherwise they'd never learn. "Poolkit, I think we'd all love to hear your story," she said once Otterkit apologized, hoping she hadn't noticed that she also called out her daughter on her slight trickery. She simply didn't wish to stifle the young kit's creativity.

Splashheart didnt miss the wince, and instead of feeling hurt, an amused expression flickered across her face. Her mate wasnt scared of her, she knew that, but he definitely was being cautious. Good. The last thing Splashheart wanted was to stay angry with him. And even with these moodswings, she still couldnt.

Splashheart shut her eyes as he returned the affection, for once since this had started feeling no annoyance toward it. Instead she welcomed it with a small purr deep in her chest, treasuring this moment. Because in the next heartbeat she could be as vicious as an angry as a fox.

Splashheart knew she was confusing the Tom. Heck, she was confusing herself. She didnt understand how these mood swings worked, how would she? She'd never been through this before. "I think this'll be our only litter," She commented quietly to her mate, ears flicking.

"Boy, isnt that good news." A familiar orange shape slid into the nursery, and Splashheart smiled slightly. It was Foxthorn, his green gaze glimmering as he smirked at his sister. He shook out his fur and padded forward, a vole clamped securely in his jaws.

"Brought you some food sis," He dropped the vole and looked down at the remains of the squirrel, ears flicking in amusement. "Oh. You've already eaten. Well then i'll just take the vole back and--"

"Uh, no," Splashheart clamped a paw down on the voles tail, glaring weakly up at her brother. "Im pregnant you moron, so im taking this and im eating it."

Foxthorn's whiskers quivered. "Feisty." He teased, stepping back when she lashed out at him, with her claws might I add. "Dang girl, trying to kill your favorite brother, how rude."

"Rowr." Splashheart bared her teeth mockingly before lowering her head, taking a huge bite of the vole.

"Grahr." Foxthorn growled back playfully, shaking his fur out again. He ignored Splashheart's glare and turned his attention to Mixedfur, whiskers twitching with amusement. "Is she like this all the time?" He asked, tipping his head faintly as Splashheart continued to glower in his direction between bites of the vole.

Mixedfur nuzzled the side of his mate's cheek, purring. He was happy that she wasn't having any mood swings with him for once, and he settled down beside her again. At hearing her voice, the tom flickered his ears, laughing. ''Alright, Splashy. Remember those words. No more kits.'' He teased, and inwardly felt happy at the mention. If she was hard to maintain during her first pregnancy, he couldn't even think about how it would be through second pregnancy. That would be a tougher ride than the one he was on now.

His eyes quickly landed on another tom who entered into the nursery. Knowing it was Splashheart's brother, the tom felt untensed, and he mustered to give a smile in greeting. He laughed when Splashheart instantly took the vole. ''Yeah, she needs all the food she can get. But, don't worry, you'll have to run a lot of that weight off once these kits are weaned.'' He joked, looking down as his mate devoured the food in front of her. He wondered if it would be enough to keep her full, but he doubt it. She was pregnant. She would be always hungry, and sometimes she wouldn't want anything to do with food. Mixedfur didn't understand this, but he wasn't a she-cat, so he couldn't decipher it.

Instead, he sat up, brushing his pelt against his queen. He gave Foxthorn a deep chuckle. ''You have no idea...we can tag team if you'd like? I have to stay in here with her. We need our time together. Isn't that right, love?'' The mixed colored tom enjoyed playing around with his mate. He laid his tail across her back in a gingerly manner. For some odd reason, he felt that she was going to snap at him, and when she did, he would have to embrace. ''Pfft, she's been feisty even before she got pregnant.''

The small white bundle of fur stretched out slightly as she took a mighty yawn. Slowly opening her mix matched eyes she glanced over to the side seeing her brother still pretty much a sleep. Sighing softly she pushed away from her brother getting in a seated position she let her gaze wonder the large den her whiskers twitched slightly. It hadn't been long since she had opened her eyes for the first time and boy was she happy she had done so. There was so much to see so little time to look at them all. Sighing softly she would hope she wouldn't have to wait for her brother to wake from his slumber. She wanted to go out and see the world for what it is. Not be cramped in this area for a rather long time. Sighing she looked over to him once more.

It was the simple movement in the felines chest that told you he was still alive. It was fernkit. A small dainty kit nestled next to his sister rainkit. Than a sneeze shook the kittens whole body and his eyes jerked open. He was silent for a moment before raising himself to his small pearl white paws. He blinked his bicolored eyes at the light outside of the nursery before noticing that his sister rainkit had been awaiting his arrival out of his dreams. He gave a small smile and curled his small tail around his paws. The small Tom kitten rubbed his nose delicately with his small paw before sneezing again. He frowned and lapped at his chin than at his nose. "Goodmorning" he meows with a small smile. Drawing his gaze down at his fur, than nibbled at the moss embedded deep into his fur. Some at his shoulder some on his chest and flanks. Removing them too look as presentable as possible.

Jumping slightly she turned her head over to her brother her fur had bristled up twice its size making her slightly bigger then her size. "R-rainkit! You scared me, next time please poke me or something you can get accidentally hurt." She said padding what little space between the two before sitting down in front of him. "How was your sleep? Are you hungry?" She asked in a more hushed tone. Despite being the same age of him she had felt some sort of responsibility over him and wanted nothing but the best for the other white feline.

Sunbreeze smiled softly. She had dealt with a similar issue before, her other adopted kit, Willowpaw, had been similar, fearing she would never fit in. Sunbreeze would sympathisize though, she knew how, and thought her self rather good at it. Still giving an encouraging smile, she sat down. "My dear, you will.

As she thought about it, the orange tabby couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. Perhaps 'immature' wasn't the best words to describe her clan mates. Looking at the other kits in the nursery, it seemed to just hit her. It wasn't that her clan mayes were immature, she was just acted older than she really was. Sunbreeze's words of reassurance were definitely a comfort towards Mockingkit and a small smile grew on her maw. The queen always knew how to comfort her and Mockingkit was grateful for that. Some times, the she-cat would wonder, where would she be if her parents hadn't left her in RiverClan's Territory? Would she have been found by someone else? Would she have somehow managed to survive by herself? Would she be dead? There were many questions that the orange tabby had, many of which were hard to answer. "I can't wait to become an apprentice," Mockingkit murmured, a slight tone of excitement in her voice. "Do you think my mentor will like me?" she asked, looking up at the larger female. It was as if her mood had completely changed. Asking questions, it always seemed to change her. It brought out a tone of curiosity and excitement in her. Mockingkit could quickly change her emotions and thoughts. Her once serious expression was gone, and replaced with one of interest.

Sunbreeze could see the thought change of the little orange she kit. It was evident that her words had changed how something processed in her mind, the skeptical look changed into one of curiosity. Sunbreeze's maw cracked into a grin again as the kit seemed to perk up at a surprising rate. Even if she thought she was more mature than the others, she had more in common with them than she probably thought. It was like kits, ti not hold grudges, to cope with quick changes, they had no problem with change and adaption, as was evident in Mockingkit here. "Yes my dear, your mentor should like you. It's not the Evil Era anymore, the bad cats have gone away. You will be loved." She said sweetly, then in a change, a smirk crossed her face, and she leaned in closer to whisper. "And if they don't, I'll have their hides for it." She said, in a mocking mean sort of way. She let out a chuckle. "I don't see how anyone could not love you my dear, you're a handful, but you make the time worthwhile." She purred before shifting closer to her and wrapping her long white and orange dappled tail around the kit. "Don't let ones feelings to you change you though. Be you, don't be what others want you to be. It ruins who you are as a cat." She purred in comfort.

(So I guess everyone will post once as a newborn then we'll skip to 3 moons so it's easier to rp them <3 )

Mistyskip waddled into the nursery, her plump stomach lightly brushed the dusty ground as she made her way to the nest. She let out a grumble as her fur got dusty and disleveled, she didn't really like the crummy, dirty feeling on her stomach but she didn't really have the time to fix it at the moment, she had kits to give birth to. The grey mottled molly layed herself down in the soft nest with a huff, a few pieces of moss fell off of the bed as she did so. She took a few deep breaths and dug her claws into the ground, her tail lashed behind her. "They weren't supposed to come this early, darn kits threw my whole plan out of whack." she mumbled, although nothing but love dripped from her words, in reality she was thrilled to bits about giving birth so soon, she had asked Starclan to make the day come quicker. Although this isn't exactly what she meant by the wish. The warrior turned her bluish green colored eyes to the entrance of the nursery and glared 'He'd better be here for this. I told him specifically to be here the moment I began to give birth.' she thought, a tremor erupted through her body and she let out a grunt 'Although their birth is a bit...sudden. Either way, he should know where I am, and should hightail his happy butt over here.' she thought. A minute before the birthing was to begin she spotted plump stick and maneuvered it over to where she was laying and firmly gripped it between her teeth, now she could begin.

A fair amount of time had passed, the new queen was tired, hungry, and breathless. The deed had been done, she had 5 beautiful kits to care for and love endlessly. Mistyskip gave her newborn kits a gentle lick to the head and smiled, a purr erupted from her throat. She turned her teal gaze upon her newborns and nudged them close to her stomach. She gave her two toms a nudge, licking the darker grey toms head once more "...I'll name you Cygnekit." she said softly, she then looked at the lighter colored Tom "And your name will be Jaggetkit." she stated, her voice smooth, rich, kind, careful. She turned her loving gaze upon her two daughters "Now as for you two..." she trailed off before she twitched her whiskers and smiled sweetly. "Your names will be Veridankit and Juniperkit." she stated as she licked the top of their heads as she named them off. With this being her first litter of kits she was elated and fell in love with them before they were even born. She couldn't wait to see how they'd turn out when they grew up, all of the accomplishments they'd achieve. She looked down at her fur and let out an annoyed huff, messy, dirty, grimy. She hated it. As her kits fed she began to lick the dirt off her and wait for her mate to make his way into the den, hoping that bolderglare didn't mind the names she chose for their offspring.

Boulderglare walked into the nursery. He wasn't the fatherly cat that most would want to be the father of their kits but he was good at manipulating and fooling cats like Mistystep. He hadn't gone to see her too much before because he didn't care a lot about her. Boulderglare only hoped that she wouldn't give birth to disappointing kits like Petaldown had when she gave birth to Mistfall, Aspenmask, Rock and Stream. So he was only interested in their kits and not really interested in his mate. But he had been visiting more lately since he did wanted to shape his kits to become great warrior from a young age and not wanting them to end up like their older brothers and sisters.

Boulderglare was surprised to see that Mistystep was curled around five newborns. He felt almost sick looking at something so weak and helpless as newborn kits, he almost didn't want to say that they were his own. But he knew that he could make them great someday and that just because they were pathetic now doesn't mean they won't be. "Misystep," Boulderglare forced a pretty good fake purr for his mate as he walked towards her and the kits, pretending to be happy and feeling warm like how she felt.

(silly)
The small molly quickly shook her head as she quickly stood up her fur fluffed up once more. "Nope! I got the prey run this time! You just stay here okay?" She said quickly pressing her nose in his cheekfur before he pulled back and bounding out of the nursery. With what seemed like forever the white feline pushed her way inside pulling a small mouse behind her doing her best to keep it from getting dusty. Dropping it in their nest she purred with happiness, "This should be good enough for us to share! Right....?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

[Teza]

(Oh, sorry! xD)

Blazingheart was struck by the question, and his mouth turned dry. Had his expression betrayed a hint of the worry that lingered in his mind? He did his best to smile at the she-cat's question, seeming as if he was happy about the memories from his past that flooded into his mind, although he was anything but. "Before I joined RiverClan, I lived as a rogue - Blaze," he recalled, trying to remember all the parts of his past that did not include Jay or Sun. "I used to live with my father Apple in the woods a little ways away from here. He passed away, though," Blazingheart added, wishing he hadn't. "So I came here instead. And I'm glad I did," he purred, glancing to the entrance of the nursery for a mere second, taking in the sights of the camp. He turned his attentive gaze back to Birchstep, not wanting to seem rude. "And what about you?" He inquired, assuming he already knew the answer. "Have you always been a Clan cat?"

(It's fine. Since we're in the nursery right now I'ma move this to the nursery xD)

Birchstep shook her head. "I know that I'm from somewhere around here, but nothing else. My mother adopted me when she found me as a young kit abandoned in the territory," she said, a slight tinge of pain at the memory of her mother. She'd been a good warrior but an even better mother. It saddened Birchstep that she was now in Starclan. "I like to think that, rather than abandoned, my birth parents simply lost me during a move or something along those lines." She smiled happily to her friend. It was obvious she seemed to strike a nerve with her question about his past, which only made her more curious. She knew better than to pry further, and decided to leave well-enough alone instead.

"Oh," replied Blazingheart, surprised. He stifled a purr of amusement at his own insolence. "I had always just assumed that you were a pure Clan cat, through and through. You certainly seem like it!" Attempting to change the topic so neither of them would further ask about each other's pasts, he nodded toward her kits. "Can they speak yet? The kits, I mean," He asked quizzically, tilting his head. He knew it was a dumb question to ask, for the kits seemed very young, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

(Oh, that would make sense, lol)

"Oh," replied Blazingheart, surprised. He stifled a purr of amusement at his own insolence. "I had always just assumed that you were a pure Clan cat, through and through. You certainly seem like it!" Attempting to change the topic so neither of them would further ask about each other's pasts, he nodded toward her kits. "Can they speak yet? The kits, I mean," He asked quizzically, tilting his head. He knew it was a dumb question to ask, for the kits seemed very young, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

Before the queen could speak, Otterkit was up again, fluffed as much as her short fur would allow at Blazingheart's question. "Excuse you! We're a whole moon old! Of COURSE we can talk!" she mewed, pride filling her voice more than anger or hurt. Birchstep laughed at her young kit. "We can take care of ourselves, too!" she mewed. Birchstep glared playfully at her kit. "Oh yeah? Then let's see it," she said, glancing around for something for her young kit to try to attack. She then tilted her head mischievously. "Why don't you see if you can tackle Blazingheart to the ground?" she asked. "I can do that easily," Otterkit mewed, then ran and jumped onto Blazingheart's shoulder, not being more than a minor nuisance to the tom.

"I thought I could trust you, Birchstep!" Jokingly yelped Blazingheart, attempting to twist his head to see Otterkit. The kit clung on to his shoulder, with a rather proud expression on his face. Blazingheart was still shocked that the kits could talk at such a young age. A moon? He thought. He abandoned his pondering and turned his attention back to the kit. Otterkit dug his claws into Blazingheart's pelt, but the much-larger warrior barely felt a thing. He flattened his striped ears against his head in mock disappointment, his blue eyes filled with amusement. "I'm still standing," he pointed out, trying to stifle a smile from playing on his face. "You can't do better then that?"

The grey molly purred then looked up at her mate the moment she heard him call her name, her blue hues gleamed with nothing but love. She licked his cheek once he got close enough then nudged her kits closer to her stomach. "Took you long enough to get here mousebrain. I saved you one to name, figured you'd like that." she said, her gaze still locked onto her kits. Mistyskip still was unsure about her mate, she loved him, she loved him to death, but he had his moments when he didn't seem like....Bolderglare, honestly, it scared her. Every once in a while she'd get a chill down her spine whenever she saw the look on the warriors face, cold, heartless eyes. After a few moments of just spacing out she grimaced and began to lick her chest fur, trying to clean off the dirt and sweat, she'd leave the stomach for later. "I named the two toms Cygenkit and Jaggedkit, and then I named two out of the three mollys Veridiankit and Juniperkit. There's one more molly for you to name, have at it." she hummed, her tail tip twitched as she awaited her mates response "And I'm not changin their names! If you wanted them to have different names you should have come here sooner!" she snapped at the warrior, annoyance evident on her face. Although she snapped at him often, she could only be mad for a certian amount of time, only be annoyed at the warrior for a short amount to time. While Boulderglare, in the amount of time that she knew him, never shown that he was mad, never stated it aloud, but she noticed it, in his little movements, in his actions. Although she would never point it out, never nag him about it. The queen pushed her thoughts away and smiled, trying to think of more positive things, "Hey." she started, shifting her weight so she could look up at her mate "Could you do me a favor? My fur is grimy and I would clean it but with them sleeping I don't want to wake them. That and honestly, I could use a nap myself." she yawned, her fur fluffed up as she did so.

Mallowkit pounced on her older brother, Finchkit, starting a play fight. Finchkit whipped around and snarled playfully, and attempted throwing off Mallowkit. Mallowkit clung on and nipped Finchkit's ear. "Hey!" He mewed. Finchkit finally got Mallowkit off his back, and he pinned her on the ground. Mallowkit battered Finchkit's underbelly with sheathed claws. Finchkit nipped Mallowkit's ear, and she mewed "No fair!" "Alls fair in battle!" Finchkit purred. "Guys, stop it! The new kits are sleeping, and you don't wanna get in trouble!" Creekkit mewed, stopping their play fight. "You're no fun, Creekkit." Mallowkit meowed to her sister. Creekkit huffed and walked back into the nursery. Finchkit followed her, not wanting to get yelled at. "You guys are never any fun." Mallowkit muttered, walking into the nursery with her tail dropped. But Mallowkits tail shot straight up when she saw that Rosekit, Blossomriver's kit, was in the nursery. Mallowkif walked over to Rosekit and meowed, "Hiya, Rosekit!"

"You can't do better then that?"

Birchstep laughed wildly. "Only if it doesn't partane to my kits," she laughed.
Otterkit growled, frustrated. She then hopped off, purposefully launching herself into the side of the Nursery. She mewed, a slight sting from the surrounding den walls smacking her going from her fore-paws to her face. She then turned, and bounded up to Blazingheart once more, launching herself once more in attempts to knock him over, or at least to make him stumble a bit.

[Starfall]

Otterkit tilted her head in confusion. "I call mousedung! You're the same age as us, how could you have killed a fox?" she asked, disbelief filling her voice as she spoke. Whatever Poolkit was concocting was a lie, and the blue aby knew it. There was simply no way she could have killed a fox. They had barely been able to leave the Nursery for Starclan's sake! "Why would a fox want to mess with you anyway? Your stench would only drive them away!" Otterkit didn't know why she had said that. She had meant to only be playful with her sibling but it came out quite rude indeed. Well, what's done is done. There's no taking it back now. 'Birchstep is going to have my head for that one,' she thought, pinning her ears in regret for her own words.

-----

Birchstep lightly rolled her eyes at her kits, wondering where Poolkit had even heard of a fox. She certainly hadn't spoken of them before, but that didn't really matter now, did it? She watched in admiration at Poolkit's creativity, then glared as she heard Otterkit's words. "Otterkit!" she growled. "While it is absurd that your sister killed a fox, it is still not right to say that to her. Apologize. Now." The fluffy queen hated being cross with her kits, but it had to be done. Otherwise they'd never learn. "Poolkit, I think we'd all love to hear your story," she said once Otterkit apologized, hoping she hadn't noticed that she also called out her daughter on her slight trickery. She simply didn't wish to stifle the young kit's creativity.

Nighty
The grey kit turned to her sister and stuck her tongue out, her ears folded back a she glared at Otterkit. "How would you know? You're always sleeping! And besides it's not my stench that they run away from! You fart in your sleep!" she barked, her fluffed up and her tail lashing behind her. She let out a snort then looked back at Gracklekit, a big grin plastered on her face, which was quickly wiped away at her mother's retort. Poolkit let out a whine and poked Birtchstep "You wouldn't know either! All you guys do is sleep!" she retorted, but instead of just pressing it further she let out a huff and looked back at the sister who actually seemed excited about her tale. The grey molly licked her chest and sat herself back down and took a deep breath "So, I was playing out begphind the nursery, which isn't outside the camp, and I heard the leaves rustling." she started, excitement twinkled in her eyes "So, I snuck forward and bumped into the nose of a fox!" she gasped "I scratched its nose and tackled it down. I gripped its neck and bit as hard as I possibly could. It flung me off, but that didn't stop me. I lunged forward and landed the killing blow, ending its life swiftly because I didn't want to let it suffer." she stated smugly, an eyebrow quirked and her eyes closed, a smug, satisfied grin on her maw.

"Great StarClan," muttered Blazingheart, right before Otterkit leaped onto him. Taken by surprise, Blazingheart feigned a quick stumble, but he regained his posture once more and glanced at the kit. "Alright, alright, you knocked me down!" He laughed. "I surrender!" He flicked the kit's flank with his plumy tail, purring. "You proved me wrong, kit," he sighed, curling his tail around his paws. He low-key grinned at the pale furred she-cat. "I know now not to trust a queen," he joked.

(So sorry for the short replies. I keep getting distracted and losing my train of thought... *cough*myfianceisabuttsometimes*cough* xD)

"Oh come now," Birchstep said with a light giggle. "She is my kit after all." The fluffy queen licked her proud kit's forehead when she came back, then smiled at Blazingheart. "So, Blazingheart, how have you enjoyed being in Riverclan?" she asked, legitimately wanting to know.

(Haha, it's fine xD)

Blazingheart's ears pricked at the question, trying to formulate a vague answer. "I've quite liked it," he replied, being honest. "It's certainly the kind of life I've always striven for - not a completely feral rogue, but not a housecat either. This is the perfect in-between," he purred, part of the distant look fading from his eyes as he focused his thoughts on the Clan and not on his abandoned family. His purr dried in his throat, but he shook off the memories and glanced toward Birchstep's kits. "So..." He said, trying to figure out how to word what he wanted to ask. "Has their.... father helped in the raising?" He asked. Unknowing of who the father was, he - as well as most of his Clanmates - were confused as to who was the other parent to the kit. Although he didn't want to pry, he politely worded the question in a way that wouldn't seem too personal, so the she-cat wouldn't have to answer to anything she didn't want to or was uncomfortable thinking about.

"Who, Yewheart? No, he lives in Skyclan. It'd be a bit hard for him to come help me with the kits," she giggled. "It's okay though, I knew he was a player from the beginning." She laughed once more. "I'm not even sure if he knows about them honestly. I can't remember if I told him before he left," she giggled. She honestly felt no hard feelings toward the tom, as she understood his need for travel.

Blazingheart was struck speechless. Their father was from another Clan...? "A-a SkyClan cat...?" He asked, shocked. "You could get exiled for that!" He warned. He hoped the news didn't travel to Blackgaze, or worse, Russetstar. He glanced at the kits. If they were to be exiled with their mother... there was no chance they'd survive alone. Blazingheart had never thought Birchstep one to betray her Clan, but the nonchalant way she spoke about her breaking of the Code made him re-ponder the entire situation.

"I hope you don't think less of me," she said. "You are a dear friend to me after-all." The fluffy she-cat flicked her tail. She was legitimately worried, as she didn't know how he would take what she said. He was simply too easy to talk to. "Their father will never be in their lives, whether he's from Riverclan or not. I'd prefer to leave the past in the past..."

"But does.... anyone else know?" A whirlwind of thoughts flooded into Blazingheart's mind, as they usually did when he found something to think about. No, of course he wouldn't think less of her, but it was a very impromptu statement from a cat he had assumed was fully loyal to her Clan. After all, some of the most noble cats in Clan history had been half-Clan cats, so was there really anything to worry about? She could get exiled, dreadfully thought the tom.

Boulderglare flattened his ears after Mistyskip called him mouse-brain. He knew that she was just joking and could see the love in her eyes, a feeling that he never felt not even for her. Boulderglare just forced a smile that was convincing and nodded. "Sorry about that but I was out hunting," he said. He had been hunting but he also didn't rush back to camp to check on his mate. Most of the warriors that had a mate in the nursery would check them everyday to see if they needed anything or if their kits had been born yet. But Boulderglare had more important things to do then to watch over some pregnant she-cat, even if she was his mate. He had actually only gone to the nursery now because when he got back he had heard that Mistyskip had given birth while he was out hunting.

"Oh?" Boulderglare said after Mistyskip told him that she had already named four of their kits and that he got to name the last one. His eyes narrowed slightly after she snapped at him for being late but he pretended to brush it off, but he could hold a grudge of pretty much anything. Boulderglare didn't care about the names pf the kits and only cared about what they would achieve when they got older. "How about Greykit?" He asked and looked at the unnamed kit. "Does that sound good for her?" He stopped after she began to speak about something else. "Of course," Boulderglare began to clean her fur. He watched his kits as he cleaned Mistyskip and hoped that they wouldn't end up like their older brothers and sisters. He hoped that they would become strong and maybe even one of them would lead the clan someday.

[Crow]

"Oh he has? What has he told you about me?" he chuckled. He couldn't get over the kits enthusiasm. He loved kits,ever since his three kits had died he had felt lonely;even if they were in another clan. There wasn't any words he could form the emotion into-losing a child hurt him deeply. He didn't even get to meet them. He felt like he let his past mate Tumbledrop down,that because he didn't go to Thunderclan sooner maybe they would have lived. He blames himself. So,to see the sight of a hyper-active kits lifted his apirits greatly and made him feel at home;Riverclan;where his loyalty lied. He was happy to finally meet the kit,he hadn't met any of his best friends kits and he felt bad about that since they were so close. It made him feel like he had a family.

Shellkit tilted her head to the side, something she often did when thinking. "Um... he said you were really nice, I think! Which is good, because I like really nice cats! Nice cats are good. I have a lot of nice friends who are nice cats, and-" She was rambling. Again. It was something of a habit. Especially when conversing with quieter cats, she needed to fill every moment of quiet with words, even if those words consisted of her digressing more and more, so much so that she often forgot the original topic she was speaking on. Ears heating with embarrassment, Shellkit stumbled back onto topic. "He.. he also said he thought you were a really amazing cat, but you disappeared! And he missed you! But you couldn't have disappeared, because you're here. Right?" Wasn't that how disappearing worked? Despite already being 5 moons of age- almost an apprentice- the kitten had very little idea of how man things worked, likely due to her bad memory, or perhaps just because of her near-inability to be quiet for a few moments and let other cats talk.

Gracklekit smiled as she met her sisters gaze. She glanced over to her other sibling, Otterkit and smiled goofily. "Its justa story, even I know that, but where's the fun in that?" She asked, challenging them. She turned back to Poolkit, eyes widened as she listed, ears perked attentively to her. She bushed out her gray and orange and white dappled fur, smiling as she listened, she even threw in a gasp of surprise when she talked about killing it. She loved exaggerating things, knowing it could provide some extra fun to the situation, unnecessary drama and suspense, as long as every one took it in a joking form. "Oh good, we wouldn't want it to suffer, the mangy flea bag!" She growled playfully. "Tell us some more stories Poolkit! Please?" She begged, green hues shining brightly.

Otterkit rolled her eyes. "I like the elders' stories better. At least they're believable!" she hissed. There was no point in lying about leaving camp, much less killing a fox. "Have you even seen a fox? I've heard they're bigger than Birchstep!" she mewed, using her mother's fluffy fur as a height measure. It wasn't her best defense, but hey, work with what ya got, right?

Birchstep rolled her eyes at her kits. "You are all so energetic," she said. "I don't know a cat that is as big as a fox, though I'm not a cat to compare to, Otterkit. Russetstar may be a decent comparison, but a fox is still bigger than him." The queen smiled to her kits. Surely they'd seen Russetstar in the clearing at least once, so maybe they'd know what she was talking about. Then again, kits didn't have the best memory sometimes.

(The other rp is set when they are 3 moons old. I was sort of gauging this and at when the kits are about one moo. Old. :3)

Birchstep shook her head. "I trust you wont tell," she said simply, watching him with tired eyes.
She had been thinking about what might happen should the whole clan find out about the father of her kits. What would happen to them? Would they leave her one day to find him? She simply didn't want them to know about Yewheart. "I especially wont want my kits knowing. I wont want them to leave me someday in search of him..."

(Oh, sorry!)

"I won't tell anyone," Blazingheart promised, warmth creeping into his voice. He wasn't going to let anything happen to the queen and her kits; no one deserved to suffer exile, unless they had committed treason or such. He glanced at the kits. "I'm sure they wouldn't do that," the tom murmured. "But there's no harm in being safe then sorry." His tail swept around his paws, kneading the ground uneasily.

Blazingheart's ears pricked and he smiled at Birchstep. "Thank you. That's certainly not something I've been told before," he chuckled. He was surprised. More cats speak to him than they did when he first joined RiverClan, but he had never expected to be described as "easy to talk to". He wondered if Jay and Sun would've said the same thing, and suddenly his mouth went dry. Why did he always have to think of them?

[Empress Of Evil]

Sunbreeze could see the thought change of the little orange she kit. It was evident that her words had changed how something processed in her mind, the skeptical look changed into one of curiosity. Sunbreeze's maw cracked into a grin again as the kit seemed to perk up at a surprising rate. Even if she thought she was more mature than the others, she had more in common with them than she probably thought. It was like kits, ti not hold grudges, to cope with quick changes, they had no problem with change and adaption, as was evident in Mockingkit here. "Yes my dear, your mentor should like you. It's not the Evil Era anymore, the bad cats have gone away. You will be loved." She said sweetly, then in a change, a smirk crossed her face, and she leaned in closer to whisper. "And if they don't, I'll have their hides for it." She said, in a mocking mean sort of way. She let out a chuckle. "I don't see how anyone could not love you my dear, you're a handful, but you make the time worthwhile." She purred before shifting closer to her and wrapping her long white and orange dappled tail around the kit. "Don't let ones feelings to you change you though. Be you, don't be what others want you to be. It ruins who you are as a cat." She purred in comfort.

The she-cat did hope that her mentor liked her, however she wouldn’t mind too much if they didn’t. If they didn’t then Mockingkit would probably return feelings of resent, that was the way that she saw things. She was a fair cat, and maybe that wasn’t always a good thing. Sunbreeze’s words made her smile. She would be loved. The words echoed through her mind. The orange tabby felt reassured to know that even if her parents might not have loved her, she could know that her clan did. Well, most of the clan anyway. There was always going to be someone in your clan who you didn’t like, and they didn’t like you in return. It was part of life and something that you would just have to deal with. Her next words made a small giggle escape her maw. Giggle? That didn’t seem like quite the word to describe it. Mockingkit wasn’t really much of a ‘giggler’. She preferred to chuckle or laugh. To the orange tabby’s ears, giggle sounded too….sweet. And the kit wasn’t exactly sure if ‘sweet’ was the word to describe her. “I won’t,” Mockingkit promised. She meant it. There was no one and nothing that could change her. Perhaps her personality would develop over the moons, but other than that, the orange tabby would refuse to let one cat completely change her. Her habits and personality traits were what made her the way she was, that was something that she loved and wouldn’t just let someone change. Her persistence would make sure of that.

An orange she-cat sat off in a quiet area of the nursery. Being in the nursery, it was pretty hard to find peace and quiet, yet somehow the she-cat had managed to find some. Mockingkit didn’t really like socialising with the other kits. Not normally anyway. The kit was very specific and picky when it came to choosing friends. And honestly, you shouldn’t turn down a friendship request from her. For those who she liked, they would have her loyalty and protection. Not having many cats who were very close to her meant that she was always extremely careful in making sure that she didn’t lose the few friends that she had. With a blank expression on her maw, Mockingkit looked around for something that would interest her. Although, after taking a scan of the nursery, she could conclude that that was pretty hard to do. Not looking, but finding something that could be of interest to her. This she-cat wasn’t like most of the other kits in the nursery. She was more….serious. She didn’t find much joy in jumping around and enjoying life with her siblings. The second part was mostly because she didn’t have any siblings. Anyway, Mockingkit just didn’t find the joy in little things that other kits did. She was more focused on the future and was serious about most things. She had quite a sharp tongue too.

It wasn’t going to be long before the she-cat would shift to the rank of apprentice. And truth be told, she really couldn’t wait for it. The tabby didn’t have anything against the other cats in the nursery, but they weren’t exactly the type of cats that she liked hanging around. Hopefully as an apprentice she would be able to find more cats that she would like to be around. Two moons, that was how much longer she had to wait before she could be apprenticed to a warrior. Mockingkit often found herself wondering about what her mentor would be like. If they didn’t like her, she wouldn’t care much, but she hoped that they would like her. The she-cat was one that yearned for respect. She didn’t really care if her mentor wasn’t going to be her ‘best friend’, but she at least wanted respect. Respect was an important thing and it could give you many great things in life if you had it.

Had she earned her share of respect yet? That was another question that Mockingkit spent her days pondering on. Unfortunately, she had not yet managed to find her answer, but the she-cat was sure that she would find it in a few moons. Being a former longer meant that she had to work extra hard to earn respect from her clan mates. And it was something that she was willing to do. This orange tabby enjoyed being a hard worker, it was a challenge in life and one that she was happy to overcome. Mockingkit was quite ambitious and had her goals in life. Goals that she probably wouldn’t ever say to another cat, but they were there.

Finally, the kit found a small, stale piece of moss. No interest sparked in her eyes, as the moss wasn’t actually that interesting. However, the she-cat was desperate to find something to do and would use whatever she could find. If old moss was all that she could find, then so be it. She just needed something that would keep her from falling asleep on the spot. So with that, she reached for the piece of moss, hooking it by her claw. It dangled from the tip of one of her claws, her golden eyes watching it boredly. Finally admitting that this wasn’t going to help her, she flicked it off her claw before sighing. There can’t possibly be nothing to do. There’s always something! This is the nursery for StarClan’s sake! Mockingkit thought, frustration bubbling in her golden hues. The she-cat then had to quickly remind herself that she wasn’t exactly like the other cats. She was slightly different.

In her three moons in RiverClan, Mockingkit had managed to find herself believing in StarClan. At first she had thought about it as just a dumb joke, but soon she found herself seeing that it was true. It was something that had intrigued her. Something that she wanted to see with her own two eyes. But as she thought about it, she decided that perhaps she wasn’t that interested in seeing a cat that was now dead. The thought was actually kind of creepy. After all, wouldn’t you technically be seeing a ghost if you were to see a StarClan cat?

Letting out an audible sigh, the tabby she-cat let out an audible sigh before rising to her paws. She glanced from at one side of the nursery, before glancing at the other. Her golden gaze scanned the nursery yet again and once again, nothing seemed to be of interest to her. She was about to lie down and take a nap, when suddenly a particular tom cat caught her attention. Her gaze snapped back to the spot where she had seen the cat, just to check that her orbs weren’t playing any tricks on her. A small smile grew on her maw as she saw that she really was seeing what she had seen. She padded over to the other kit, a wide grin quickly growing. “Hey Hawkpaw,” Mockingkit greeted, not exactly sounding excited despite the excitement in her eyes. That was another thing about Mockingkit. There were times where she didn’t really like letting emotion showing through her voice, and this was one of those times. Emotions were something that the she-cat just preferred to keep to herself at certain times. After all, not everyone needed to know everything. If every cat in the world knew everything about it each other, the world would be filled with chaos. It didn’t sound like a pleasant place and Mockingkit was glad that it wasn’t that way. It was pretty different from that. There were many secrets that just one cat could know, and maybe no one would ever know of them except for that cat. But some secrets were better kept hidden.

Splashheart had her head on her paws, her eyes shut. Any other Queen would be swooning over her newborns, but Splashheart was particularly frustrated right now. Why? Because her mate was nowhere in sight! And he'd promised to be there. The gray she-cat couldnt help but feel hurt by this, but she shook it off and cracked her eyes open to glance at her three kits, allowing a small smile to twitch at her lips. You know what...Who needs him. "I've got you guys," Splashheart finished her thought aloud, giving each of her kits a soft lick on the head as she gazed down at them.

She knew the mean thing to do would to be to name them all and not give Mixedfur any say, but she had to forgive him. She knew she would as soon as she saw him, and he'd want to name one of them. But as her gaze fell onto the oldest, the only Tom in the litter, her eyes glazed over with an unreadable emotion and she pressed her nose gently to his head. "Fiercekit," She whispered, more to herself than to her son.

The youngest girl, a dark gray she-cat with a white muzzle, chest and paws, was curled up into a ball. She mewed as her mother made contact, and stirred for a moment, before falling back to sleep with a soft yawn.

Thornkit grumbled as he struggled to get away from his mothers grasp, desperate to avoid being groomed. "Maaaa! I don't need to be groomed today! Every hair on my pelt is still smooth from this morning's groom!" he whined as he tried to slip away, his paws flailing on the soft dirt as he struggled to get away.

"Oh no you don't! no kit of mine is going to look like they dragged themselves through the fresh-kill pile, Not on my watch!" Silentshade meowed as she used her paws to pull Thornkit back over to her. As Thornkit's foster mother, she divided her time between warrior duties and the nursery; but she loved the little kit and no one would question her attachment to the small tom. "Besides, your father will be back shortly and we can't have him thinking that I can't keep you tidy!" Silentshade purred. Then a pleased mew sounded at the entrance and a huge brown tom with leaf green eyes poked his head in, "There you two are! I was about to go and look for you, glad I stopped in here first!" he smiled at his friend and purred at his adopted son. "Having a difficult time Thornkit?" Brackenheart said in a amused tone. Even though Silentshade was not his mate, he stepped up to the role of father of Thornkit amazingly well, doting on the kit almost constantly. " I'll teach you how to stalk after you're done here, okay Thornkit?" he looked up as Silentshade growled. "I clean him up and as soon as I'm done, you go and have him wallowing around in the dirt, like a little badger!" Silentshade sighed in defeat as Brackenheart chuckled. "Getting dirty is a kit's job, just like cleaning him up is yours." And when he saw the look in the she-cat's eyes he looked at his foster son and said. " let's go Thornkit!" And exited the den, with Silentshade calling after him, "Why you little......"

Thornkit smiled, bounding after Brackenheart, all his life the tall tom hadn't known he was adopted, and he was incredibly close with his parents. "Yea! Kits will just get dirty, ma keeps grooming be everytime I eat, I can never get peace!" he wriggled his hind quarters, leaping into the air, catching a small crow's feather as he landed. He yelped as a thorn stuck itself into his paw, with him whimpering.

Hawkkit had laid in a corner, having to just woken up. He rested in an empty mossy nest, his nose twitching. Since he was not allowed to leave the nursery, still being a kit, the tom had tried wasting his days by sleeping, hoping that the next moon would come by quick. Oh, how excited he was to become an apprentice! He would finally be six moons, the age to start his training. That was the one, and only thing he was looking forward to. The only downside to that was, he would hardly be able to see his best friend, Mockingkit as she had to wait two more moons to become an apprentice. Though the tom had promised himself that he would see her daily. The advantages of living in the same clan.

At the moment, he was deep in thought. Worried and fawning over the future. He wondered who his future mentor would be--good or evil? Would he make any friends? Any enemies? Would his mentor be impressed by his skills? Oh, how he had skills! In his opinion anyway. Hawkkit tried his best. His absolute best at winning any challenges. Challenges was his favorite, and he never cheated on one. He was too prideful for that. Though he wasn't the easiest kit to get along with.

Not many cats would know what pushed the tom's buttons, but yet, they wouldn't care. Hawkkit would get mad quickly. Ferociously anger over the simplest of things. Anger issues, known to others, but to Hawkkit, that was simply who he was, and he was quite proud, yet unhappy about it. From his corner of the nursery, he could make out a familiar face, looking distant, yet focused. He wanted to chuckle at her, and get up to talk to her, but his bones felt lazy, and he was quite comfortable in his spot. So, he laid his eyes on her and watched her. His yellow hues looking at her with pure interest.

She was an interesting kit indeed, if he dared admit. He was surprised that she became his best friend. She was the antidote to make him calm from an angry state. This was because he could relate to her in some way. He never seen her socialize with the other kits, not even he dared to do the same. What was the point of small talk anyway? Small talk was certainly a waste of time in the tom's opinion. Aside from that, he never truly met anyone that interesting to him. Except for Mockingkit. She wasn't as bouncy as the other kits. More mellow, and calm. More interesting.

Just so, he was watching her twiddle with a moss on her claws. Looking at it, trying to figure out what she's going to do with it. At this point, Hawkkit gets up from the nest, and he stretches, leaning down to extend his claws. He was contemplating about talking to her. Something he did everyday and found humor in it as well. She was the better company, the better cat, the less annoying cat. Before he could even make his move, she had already appeared before him. Her tone was dull, but that had not mattered. Her eyes displayed her emotions clearly.

''Hey, Mockingkit!'' In contrast to her, the tom's voice was light and friendly. It was how he acted whenever he was around her. He was happy to be around her. To be her friend. The tom let out another yawn, drawing sleep away from his eyes. He hopped out the nest he was laying in, and landed in front of Mockingkit. His head went from one side of the nursery to the other, observing the surroundings, and the queens. Their kits, some younger, some older. The smell of strong milk hit his noise, and he didn't know whether he would miss it, having to become accustomed to it, or ready to leave it behind in hopes of never having to return to the smell.

He knew he would have to return to the scent at some point in his life. Especially when he's an apprentice, and he would leave his best friend behind. It sucked that she would stay in the nursery, and he would be out...free...but he wasn't going to be free without the orange tabby in front of him. His smile widened as he lightly nudged her with his paw, ''Bored as usual, I could tell.'' It should had been a question, for he didn't know how she really felt, but from the way she was playing with that moss, not really giving any enthusiasm for it, he possibly guessed right that she had been bored.

It was quite amusing to him. Everything about her was amusing, and he wondered how ever could such a cat bring fun to his life, when they both seemed like the bland type of cats? The tom shook his pelt from the clinging moss, and he sat down on his haunches. If only they could do something for the day, but what would that be? Being confined in nursery walls were never his thing. But. As he looked at the orange tabby once more, he knew that he would be far from boredom once they start sharing their pathetic gossip and poor jokes. Which of both he was pleasantly fond of.

Splashheart had her head on her paws, her eyes shut. Any other Queen would be swooning over her newborns, but Splashheart was particularly frustrated right now. Why?

The gray she-cat couldnt help but feel hurt by this, but she shook it off and cracked her eyes open to glance at her three kits, allowing a small smile to twitch at her lips. You know what...Who needs him. "I've got you guys," Splashheart finished her thought aloud, giving each of her kits a soft lick on the head as she gazed down at them.

She knew the mean thing to do would to be to name them all and not give Mixedfur any say, but she had to forgive him. She knew she would as soon as she saw him, and he'd want to name one of them. But as her gaze fell onto the oldest, the only Tom in the litter, her eyes glazed over with an unreadable emotion and she pressed her nose gently to his head. "Fiercekit," She whispered, more to herself than to her son.

The youngest girl, a dark gray she-cat with a white muzzle, chest and paws, was curled up into a ball. She mewed as her mother made contact, and stirred for a moment, before falling back to sleep with a soft yawn.

''Are you sure Splashheart won't mind you being out here with me?'' Dottedflame, a good friend of Mixedfur prompted. ''I mean, she's highly close to her kitting.'' He says, and jumps onto another rock. Mixedfur, behind him, jumped onto a few more, landing near Dottedflame. ''I'm sure I'm not missing anything.'' The tom shrugged, but an uneasy feeling laid in the pit of his stomach. Maybe he was missing something; something important. The tom didn't think Splashheart would be going into her kitting. After all, he was with her yesterday, and tended to her needs. She was fine then, much more heavier though. And, today would be like yesterday. Later he would appear, and he would tend to her needs.

The grey queen had been driving him insane, if he were being honest. Though that was his mate, and he loved her more than anything of the world. She would be the mother of his kits, and as the father, he had to take initiation and do what his responsibility holds.

''Okay, if you're so sure of yourself!'' The other tom replies and hops onto another rock, Mixedfur towing behind him. Today, Mixedfur wanted some time to himself, and he was positive that Splashheart wanted time to herself as well. So, he ventured off with Dottedflame, and the two began hopping around the rocks by the river. It wasn't safe for them to do this, but it was fun and it brought a light weight smile on Mixedfur's expressions. Though his heart lingered. He felt that he was missing something important, and going on with that feeling, he tells Dottedflame, ''Maybe...I should check on Splashheart.'' He says, and makes his way from off the rocks. Dottedflame nodded, and carelessly continued to hop around.

The mixed colored maine coon ran towards the nursery den, his heart wrenching. From outside the den, he could scent the smell of milk, and the mewing of kits. Not just any kits, but new kits. His eyes widened, and he darted into the den. ''Splashheart!'' He shouted, and pinned his ears against his head, quieting his voice. He padded towards her and watched as three small kits laid at her stomach. It was a sweet sight indeed, and he turned away from his kits to give his attention to his mate. Lightly, he pushed his muzzle into the crook of her neck, giving her tender licks. ''I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry. I didn't think you would give birth today. I'm a foxbrain, I swear.'' He says, his words muffled against her fur. As he brought his head up, and gently gave her a lick between her ears, he bent his head down to look at the small kits. One was his splitting image, the oldest of the bunch, and the biggest. A small replica of him, oh boy! Then the other two, both girls, small greys and beautiful as their mother. Mixedfur wished to touch them. To feel their soft pelts, but he knew Splashheart would get defensive, as every queen would be about their new litter. ''You did a terrific job, my heart. Our little Mixedhearts.'' He says, and lays down at the foot of her mossy nest, admiring her, and doting on their kits. ''What are their names?--Wait, don't tell me you named them yet! Don't tell me you named them without me!''

The oldest kit, a stubborn tom took charge. Before his father came into the den, he was nosing his way to his mother's stomach, scenting a fresh of relief. Since he was blind and deaf, he mewed loudly, but could not hear himself. The world was quiet. It was silent. As he nosed his way, he bumped into the other furry balls, and climbed over one until he was pleasant at wherever he was. The soft pelt of his mother brushed his nose, and he moved his head around until he caught hold and latched on, feeling the warm liquid flow down his throat. When his mother made contact with him, he stopped nursing and let out a mew of annoyance, or love. He felt that she was distracting him from her feeding, but he allowed her to linger there as he, once again, attached himself to the warm liquid.

He felt that she was distracting him from her feeding, but he allowed her to linger there as he, once again, attached himself to the warm liquid.

Splashheart looked up when she heard her name being called, and at once she let out a warning hiss, flicking her ears toward her kits with a deep scowl on her muzzle. When she saw it was her mate, her lips curled back slightly and she turned her head away with a growl, deciding to give him the silent treatment. Though she knew this couldnt last for long, and she was right, because a bunch of mixed emotions swirled through her as he pressed his nose into her neck.

With a sigh, Splashheart allowed her muzzle to gently press against his cheek, a soft purr making its way to her throat. "Well you are a foxbrain." She grumbled, before a smile took place of the slight frown on her maw as she giggled. "To be completely honest, I didnt think i'd give birth today either. But still," Her smile fell away and she looked down at her kits, then her paws. "It would've been nice to have you here."

Though she knew why Mixedfur had began to keep his distance, and silently blamed herself for being so tough on him. But she just shook her head and smiled up at him again, trying to hide the pain in her eyes. "Relax. I only named one." She flicked her ears toward the oldest kit, gazing down at him with a slight grin as she went on, "Fiercekit. You can name the other two." She laid her head on her paws, but continued to gaze at her kits lovingly, smiling softly.

Mixedfur purred, ''Fiercekit, huh? After your father?'' He guessed, knowing a bit about her family. As much as he could remember of what she told him. His nose twitched as he leaned as far as he could without touching the kit. He didn't want the new mother to hiss about him. He now understood why queens were so protective of the little ones when they were small mewing messes. It made his own heart grow as he stared at all of them.

''They're extremely small, my love.'' He tells them, specifically talking about the two girls. His son looked like a hefty one, the largest and oldest in the litter. He must had been a pain coming out! Mixedfur stared sadly at his mate, knowing he should had been with her instead of trying to have the day to himself. He felt ashamed and selfish, and vowed to always stay by her side. As she would still be in the nursery for a lot longer, tending to the kits, Mixedfur would make it his job to be with her often. ''Tell me anything you want me to do, or anything you want and I shall go through extreme lengths just to prove myself to you.'' He tells her, his voice deep and sincere as he laid his head down on hers for a second before pulling away and turning his attention back to his kits.

The youngest girl looked a lot like her mother, and it made him smile. Having two Splashhearts in the litter had to be something. Wild. It scared him. Not only were they two little Splashy's, but they were also his daughters. His daughters. They were his little girls. As he looked at the youngest one again, the name slipped out, ''Splash.'' Though it wasn't a name he meant to call the small kit, only that she looked very similar to Splashheart, and whenever he looked at his youngest kit, he would be reminded of her mother. ''Let's name her Splashkit.'' He tells her gently. Then turns his eyes on his other daughter. Another twin to her mother. ''It seems like you and our daughters could be triplets.'' He chuckled before he went deep in thought trying to figure out the perfect name for her.

''I think Squirrelkit would be perfect for her.'' He let out a purr of amusement. ''How do you like those names?'' He asked her, leaning his head closer to hers, and staring at their growing family. A new adventure would await them all. And, truthfully, he was excited and frightened at the same time.

Fernkit squirmed in his sleep, he was dreaming of exploring the territory and fighting off enemy cats and other dangerous creatures. The small kit jerked awake when an enemy cat hit him in the head. The tom looked around the den with wide eyes, the dream had felt so real. He yawned loudly before standing, now that he was awake he might as well stay up. He kneaded his white paws into the ground, his gray tabby pelt was covered in dust but he didn't bother to fix it. Fernkit never really cared about his appearance, he stretched his hind legs and looked around the nursery. Most cats were still sleeping, 'This would be a good time to explore!' He thought. He searched the room for another kit to explore with, his fern green eyes landed on a dark brown she-cat with black legs and face. He searched his mind for a few moments, trying to remember her name. 'Coalkit!' He remembered. Coalkit was a pretty quiet cat that Fernkit had never really talked to or played with, he had gotten to know almost every other kit in the nursery and he didn't want her to feel left out. The slender but tall tom made his way over to the she-cat, he nudged her a bit. He didn't want to scare her, "Hey! Coalkit! You wanna go see outside the nursery with me?" He asked.

[Ripplekit]

Ripplekit was curled up into a ball, dreaming about one day becoming a great warrior. He did not exactly enjoy this dream, because he'd always wanted to be a medicine cat rather than become a warrior.

Sleeping with no mentor or caretaker with him, Ripplekit continued dreaming...

Sleeping with no mentor or caretaker with him, Ripplekit continued dreaming...
Sunpaw walked into the nursery.
Her yellow fur blowing as she quickly walked in from the rainy outside. She flicked her tail, looking down as she dropped more Moss into the pile. It had grown quite large, and she didn't want to go back outside. Looking down, she saw a small fluf of fur. He was curled up in a ball, So Sunpaw went to start with him.
Carefully moving, she began to take moss from under the nest and replace it.
Trying not to wake the kit.

[Ripplekit]

Feels movement around him and slowly starts to wake up, seeing Sunpaw. "Oh, hello Sunpaw." The tom slowly changes to a sitting position after stretching.

Sunpaw jumped back slightly, scared who she would anger. "Go back to sleep sweetie, your mother might be mad if you wake up."

[Ripplekit]

Sunpaw jumped back slightly, scared who she would anger. "Go back to sleep sweetie, your mother might be mad if you wake up."

"Awww, but I don't want to sleep anymore. I've already been sleeping for so long. I want to be awake now." Ripplekit then started to roll around a little, seeming to be full of energy

[Ripplekit]

Ripplekit then, knowing that he probably shouldn't do this but will anyway, pounces onto Sunpaw in a playful manner.

Sunpaw grabbed the kit by the scruff. "Fine, then you can help me." A rain drop fell on her nose. "Here,Take some moss and push it onto the roof." Sunpaw grabbed it kit and placed him on her back, along with some moss.

"Ok" Ripplekit takes some of the moss and pushes it onto the roof, trying to get it as far as possible

[Ripplekit]

Ripplekit looked down at the ground. He noticed a tiny black object. Going towards it to get a better look, he realized it was a claw. "Sunpaw, what's this?"

[judas]

"Ok" Ripplekit takes some of the moss and pushes it onto the roof, trying to get it as far as possible
Looking up, the leak stopped. She placed Ripplekit down, flicking her tail. "I'll have to get some vines and brambles for the outside. But that should do for now." She poked Ripplekit on the nose with her tail. "Thanks little guy." Sunpaw purred.
Looking at the object. "A Cat claw, hm who ever lost that is gonna be in a lot of pain..." She remebered when she was training and one of her claws got ripped out, shaking slightly she sat down.

"I wonder who's it is..." Ripplekit then hears something from outside, quite a ways away from the nursery. "I hear...fighting", the sound frightening him

[judas]

"I wonder who's it is..." Ripplekit then hears something from outside, quite a ways away from the nursery. "I hear...fighting", the sound frightening him
Sunpaw flicked her ears up, she picked the kit up, tossing the claw with the old moss. "You must be hearing things." She mewed.

[Ripplekit]

Heard a cat fall to the ground. Ripplekit then took off, running out of the nurse then straight east, determined to figure out what he'd been hearing.

Sunpaw ran, picking him up once again. "It's just some apprentices, calm down." She mewed, yellow fur fluffing up in the wind.

[Ripplekit]

"B-but, b-but..." Ripplekit stutters as Sunpaw picks him up. He was still nervous, it didn't sound like it was apprentices, it sounded like a 3 against 1 fight, an ambush maybe.

[judas]

"B-but, b-but..." Ripplekit stutters as Sunpaw picks him up. He was still nervous, it didn't sound like it was apprentices, it sounded like a 3 against 1 fight, an ambush maybe.
"They're just training, annoying furballs." She mewed. She curled her tail around the kit.

[Ripplekit]

"Alright...." Ripplekit was still nervous. His ears, being as sensitive as they were, could hear every attack. In an attempt to stop listening, he used his front paws and bent his ears

[Ripplekit]

"They're just training, annoying furballs." She mewed. She curled her tail around the kit.

"Are you sure they're just apprentices?" Ripplekit had a worried expression on his face.

[Mystery]

Swallowkit's Coming back! Open!

The blue eyed kit woke up, his legs twisting in the air. A weird dream must have woken him up. Its was the crack of dawn. Swallow was young, but still, he wanted to explore. It wouldn't have been his first time out, Bluesong wouldn't know he had snuck out, though, it would be exciting! So, he half tripped on the way to the entrance to the entrance, in this case, the exit, and hopped out. He was around 4 moons now, a few days away to becoming five. The scent of prey flooded the tiny kits nose. Im hungry, now! I hope I get the biggest fish! Swallowkit raced to the prey pile, eager to eat a fish (as you can tell), as they were his favourite. Skidding to a halt, he scanned the prey pile. Swallow then reached for a plump fish at the side of the pile.

[judas]

"Are you sure they're just apprentices?" Ripplekit had a worried expression on his face.
Sunpaw nodded her head, wrapping her tail around the kit. "Yes, Calm down little one." She purred.

[Ripplekit]

Sunpaw nodded her head, wrapping her tail around the kit. "Yes, Calm down little one." She purred.

"Ok..." A little while after Ripplekit accepts that it was just apprenteces, a loud boom of thunder from the rain caused him to slightly freak out and hide his face in Sunpaw's chest fur.

[Reverie]

Thunder. The sound that most cats were afraid of, but what Chestnutkit was fond of. He awoke in his nest, shaking his head, "Thunder," He mewled, and he giggled lightly. He liked thunder, sure, but it still scared him at times, but he was comfortable with it; infact, he was born in a thunderstorm. Maybe that's why it made him happy..








(OPEN)

[Ripplekit]

It was a warm afternoon. Most of the kits were outside, playing. All except for two of Nightsky's kits, Sunkit and Ripplekit, who were both curled up into balls sleeping the day away.

[Dreams of forever]

Sunkit kicked out a paw and pushed the fluffy ball of fur next to her away, she whined and kicked

[Ripplekit]

Ripplekit wakes up and kicks back in annoyance

[Random Melody]

Mixedfur purred, ''Fiercekit, huh? After your father?'' He guessed, knowing a bit about her family. As much as he could remember of what she told him. His nose twitched as he leaned as far as he could without touching the kit. He didn't want the new mother to hiss about him. He now understood why queens were so protective of the little ones when they were small mewing messes. It made his own heart grow as he stared at all of them.

''They're extremely small, my love.'' He tells them, specifically talking about the two girls. His son looked like a hefty one, the largest and oldest in the litter. He must had been a pain coming out! Mixedfur stared sadly at his mate, knowing he should had been with her instead of trying to have the day to himself. He felt ashamed and selfish, and vowed to always stay by her side. As she would still be in the nursery for a lot longer, tending to the kits, Mixedfur would make it his job to be with her often. ''Tell me anything you want me to do, or anything you want and I shall go through extreme lengths just to prove myself to you.'' He tells her, his voice deep and sincere as he laid his head down on hers for a second before pulling away and turning his attention back to his kits.

Not only were they two little Splashy's, but they were also his daughters. His daughters. They were his little girls. As he looked at the youngest one again, the name slipped out, ''Splash.'' Though it wasn't a name he meant to call the small kit, only that she looked very similar to Splashheart, and whenever he looked at his youngest kit, he would be reminded of her mother. ''Let's name her Splashkit.'' He tells her gently. Then turns his eyes on his other daughter. Another twin to her mother. ''It seems like you and our daughters could be triplets.'' He chuckled before he went deep in thought trying to figure out the perfect name for her.

''I think Squirrelkit would be perfect for her.'' He let out a purr of amusement. ''How do you like those names?'' He asked her, leaning his head closer to hers, and staring at their growing family. A new adventure would await them all. And, truthfully, he was excited and frightened at the same time.

"Pretty much." Splashheart shifted slightly in her nest to a more comfortable position, unable to help looking away slightly. She didnt like talking about her father, or her mother even, much. She still couldnt quite forgive them for leaving when their kits needed them the most. Splashheart and her siblings had basically raised themselves. And beyond that, Swiftbreeze still refused to explain where they had gone in the first place, and Roarclaw wasnt giving anything away anytime soon, either. Shaking her head to clear these thoughts, Splashheart watched with a faint smile as Mixedfur leaned closer to the kits.

"They're supposed to be small." Splashheart couldnt help but giggle, nosing the girls, one of which gave a protesting yowl at her. Splashheart rolled her eyes playfully at the feisty kit, who obviously couldnt see the action, and rasped her tongue down her head gently, feeling the smallest purr vibrate the young kit. Splashheart couldnt help but smile. Then a purr of her own began to grow in her chest as her mate's head rested on hers, and she found herself leaning closer to him for the brief second they were pressed together. Splashheart shook her head, her anger forgotten as she gazed up at him lovingly. "Well, I wouldnt mind something to eat," She admitted with a slightly teasing tone to her voice, a grin on her maw. "Birthing kits takes alot of energy, and works up an appetite."

Pausing to follow his gaze down to the youngest girl, Splashheart found herself pulling the young kit closer and gently giving her head a few licks. She noticed the two girls looked quite like their mother, while the boy took after his father quite obviously. Splashheart chuckled as she nosed Fiercekit closer to her, and looking up when Mixedfur said her name, Splashheart gave a confused tilt of her head until he spoke again. A smile twitched at her lips as she glanced back down at the newly named Splashkit, but she didnt speak yet, waiting for him to name the last girl. Said kit nuzzled closer to her and latched on, beginning to suckle, and Splashheart grinned softly down at the three bundles.

The blue-gray she-cat looked up when Mixedfur announced the next name, and her eyes warmed. Squirrelkit. She chuckled to herself and looked back down at her kits. They were a perfect family, werent they? "Fiercekit, Splashkit, and Squirrelkit. Thats so...Perfect." She said softly, smiling.

Rainberry looked over at Fallenspirit. This was it, the day the kits would be born. "I'm sort of scared," The silver tabby admitted as her tail tip flicked in nervousness. "I doubt something will go worng, but if anything does go find Frostedflight immediatley." She knew it'd be a while until she could actually see her mate face to face, but he would still know the kits would be safe and her too. The pain in her stomach kept growing, and she flattened her ears in annoyance.

~ little skip c: ~

After a while, Rainberry was laying with four kits by her side. Though she was exhausted she licked each one on the head comfortingly. The she-cat looked up at Marshfur and told him, "If you want to name one you can. You're technically their father too." It would be fair anyways since Frostedflight wouldn't be here to name them. (Nightkit) One of them was black and white, just like Frostedflight. (Shellkit) Another was white and light grey, with very faint tabby markings(?) (Sleetkit) This one was also a grey tabby, but the tabby marks were more clear and there wasn't as much white. The last one, who she had decided to name Mistykit, was a dark grey color. They all resembled Frostedflight and Rainberry in some way. Then Rainberry suddenly thought of something. She remembered she had promised to give one to Frostedflight. I'll choose one, just not now, The tabby thought to herself.

The swirled tabby tomkit stirred at his mother's belly, eyes still shut as he seeked to be nearer to her warmth. Of course, the small kitten's greyish ears remained stuck against his head so he didn't hear it, but he somehow knew he had been given his name. A name. And it was all his own. Letting out a little mewl, he extended a paw and, rather sweetly, restedit on his mother's foreleg, rested his chin on her, and let out a small, somewhat squeaky purr. He knew that this would be home, that this cat was his family,
and that was all that seemed to matter. It was just her that the newborn felt he needed, and to him, she was safety and comfort, and nothing could take that away from him. Never would she leave him, and somehow, he could tell that she would always be there.

Coalkit was nestled happily in the nest her father had made them despite him not always being around. Her dreams were sweet and she knew nothing could be better than being a kit with no responsibilities. Although, her dreams were cut short from a soft nudging along her spine and her named being spoken. Blinked her brilliant yellow hues open, she turned her head to look at the new kit. She didn't recognize him, in fact she rarely recognized any of the cats here. She didn't bother to know them unless they stood out to her. Coalkit brought herself to a sitting position, still blinking the sleep from her eyes as she focused them on Fernkit. A small yawn left her jaws before she was fully awake and functioning. "Why would I want to go out there? It's cold and it's supposed to rain. My father told me it was," that was half-true. She'd heard it from the other queens so she knew it was going to rain, but she didn't like being left out of the family thing so she made up the fact Crowfoot told them. In fact, she hadn't really seen her father much. She didn't know her mother as she died after giving birth to them. She'd never truly understand what having a family was like, however she'd give it her best try at pretending she had a happy family.

Mistykit mewled, stretching her paws out to knead her mother's belly. The right front paw was white, as was her back left paw. The tip of her tail matched the color of her paws. Crawling forward slowly, only a few mouse-lengths, she attached herself to drink her mother's milk. She could feel other bodies around her, the scents all similar, but each their own. Only two of them stood out as different. And she felt special, important even. She knew she would be loved forever.


Fallenspirit looked down at her friend's kits. Oh, how she longed for her own! But she had no mate and wouldn't know where to begin in taking care of one let alone a whole litter! "They're absolutely beautiful, Rainberry!" She purred, licking the black and white one on the head. Only them did it occur to her that Frostedflight didn't know yet. She was tempted to send Marshfur off to do it, but realized that this was the closest to fatherhood he would ever get. She should let him enjoy it. Standing, she addressed Rainberry. "Should I go let Frostedflight know the kits have been born?"

Fernkit rolled his eyes, "Come on. It won't rain for a while and we will only be out here for a little. Haven't you ever wondered what camp looks like when the moon is out?" He asked. He was going to try everything to get this cat to go outside with him. He would go alone but he liked making new friends and he was determined to have almost every kit be his friends. "I am sure it won't be that cold!" He said, "Even if it does rain it would only sprinkle a bit, wouldn't the rain in the moonlight look cool?" he asked. He was trying to keep his voice as quiet as possible but he was practically bouncing with excitement. Playing in the rain would be so much fun, he wondered if the clearing would look dark or not. He wondered what the moon would look like, he had so many questions running through his head.

Rainberry smiled at Sleetkit and Mistykit. Maybe I'll send Sleetkit over to Shadowclan, She thought as she watched him. Sleetkit seemed like he would grow into a good, strong Shadowclan warrior. "Oh yes, that'd be great!" Rainberry replied to Fallenspirit, and then added, "And let Frostedflight know he has four healthy and beautiful kits." Knowing Frostedflight, he would want to see her sometime but he also knew she should stay in the nursery. Maybe whenever the kits were old enough to be left alone she would go and see him. Curling her tail around her kits protectively, Rainberry also laid her head down onto her paws. She needed to make sure Sleetkit had the best time in Riverclan until it was time to give him over to Frostedflight.

"Of course, Rainberry," Fallenspirit turned to leave, but hesitated and looked back at Marshfur. Would he take good care of the kits? Was he ready to take good care of the kits? Shaking her head the silver tabby set off for ShadowClan territory, knowing Frostedflight would be waiting at the border. With a sigh, she stepped out of the nursery, away from the chaos of all the playing kits.

Fernkit rolled his eyes, "Come on. It won't rain for a while and we will only be out here for a little. Haven't you ever wondered what camp looks like when the moon is out?" He asked. He was going to try everything to get this cat to go outside with him. He would go alone but he liked making new friends and he was determined to have almost every kit be his friends. "I am sure it won't be that cold!" He said, "Even if it does rain it would only sprinkle a bit, wouldn't the rain in the moonlight look cool?" he asked. He was trying to keep his voice as quiet as possible but he was practically bouncing with excitement. Playing in the rain would be so much fun, he wondered if the clearing would look dark or not. He wondered what the moon would look like, he had so many questions running through his head.
Coalkit pricked her ears and tilted her head a little bit. Did this feline like rain that much? She certainly didn't. At least not with her already thick pelt to manage. Besides, there was a kink in this kit's logic. "If it's going to rain, how are we supposed to see the moon and enjoy the night time clearing? I mean, clouds should be covering the sky so it'll be super dark!" she explained, full confidence in her voice. There was no way Coalkit was going to go out into the clearing like this. She knew her father would disapprove of such an act. She certainly didn't want to catch a cold while out and about. Slowly Coalkit stood up to meet the other kit's gaze evenly, her ears flicking here and there, though her attention was fully on him.

Fernkit sighed, this kit was so difficult. "Okay, well have you ever wondered what the clan does while its night? We could talk to the guards by the entrance or go see the apprentices or the elders." He said with a hint of desperation. "Besides I am sure the moons light will be able to glow through the clouds, I mean Starclan is always watching over us so wouldn't they want the moon out?" He said. The toms paws began to knead the ground with impatience, "Come on, just go outside with me! Pleaseeeeeee." He whined.

He may not have been able to see the faces that surrounded him, but he loved them anyway. He loved the gentle scent of his parents and siblings, the sweet milky aroma that his mother emitted, soft and sugary. His lips were always smiling; for being so young, he seemed already to know that being happy was more important than sulking. His cloudy orange eyes swiveled instinctually towards the sounds around him; for having no sense of vision or light, he had a surprisingly good sense of spatial awareness. The eyes were also lively, too; they shined with emotion and joy despite the dullness that many blind cats carried. Cynetkit's rain-cloud gray pelt, covered with darker swirls, hung tightly against his sides; he was chubby and little, still just a kit.

Silentshade let the warm milky smell of the nursery lull her to sleep, after the sweaty smell of the Warriors' den, this was a comfort. " Soothe my lullaby please I plea as the stars keep you in safety," she quoted her mother's lullaby that she had sang to Silentshade and her brothers when they was kits. She also watched the brown kit next to her sleep, Thornkit, her little warrior. " how did the rest of that lullaby go?" She whispered sleepily. Then she layed her head down on her paws and went to sleep.

Rainberry looked over at Fallenspirit. This was it, the day the kits would be born. "I'm sort of scared," The silver tabby admitted as her tail tip flicked in nervousness. "I doubt something will go worng, but if anything does go find Frostedflight immediatley." She knew it'd be a while until she could actually see her mate face to face, but he would still know the kits would be safe and her too. The pain in her stomach kept growing, and she flattened her ears in annoyance.

After a while, Rainberry was laying with four kits by her side. Though she was exhausted she licked each one on the head comfortingly. The she-cat looked up at Marshfur and told him, "If you want to name one you can. You're technically their father too." It would be fair anyways since Frostedflight wouldn't be here to name them. (Nightkit) One of them was black and white, just like Frostedflight. (Shellkit) Another was white and light grey, with very faint tabby markings(?) (Sleetkit) This one was also a grey tabby, but the tabby marks were more clear and there wasn't as much white. The last one, who she had decided to name Mistykit, was a dark grey color. They all resembled Frostedflight and Rainberry in some way. Then Rainberry suddenly thought of something. She remembered she had promised to give one to Frostedflight. I'll choose one, just not now, The tabby thought to herself.

Marshfur smiled at the kits and looked at the white and gray one. "That gray and white one should be named Steamkit," he responded to Rainberry.

"The guards would sent us back here. We'd annoy the apprentices and the elders are probably asleep. Actually, most of the clan is asleep so what fun would there be anyway? If it's going to rain, there's no way the moon is showing even if you want to believe some dead cats would be moving clouds to let it," she snorted halfway through her statement. Coalkit was one of the few kits in the clan who didn't fully believe in Starclan. She never spoke about it in front of her father, but deep down, no matter how many tales she'd heard from other queens or how many things her own family has spoken, she'd never believe Starclan was a real thing. Cats died, sure, but they didn't have any control over the lives they supposedly watch. Those were her beliefs. Now, she wasn't a full-on disbeliever, she just didn't think they could actually do anything for the cats still living in the clans. If saying that didn't spark attention from Fernkit wanting to leave, then she wasn't sure what would. Honestly, she said that drag his attention away from the useless trip out of the nursery.

Blossomkit was used to being on her own. She was laughed at; of course she was, what cat her age was still in the nursery? Her. That was the answer. Her. Thank goodness those were those few life-saving friends who she hung onto. But right now? They were talking to someone else, she assumed... either that or they were getting ready for their own ceremonies. Blossomkit? No thanks, she was going to stay here and stay low. Forever. Thank goodness she was still small enough to pass as a kit. She was apprentice age. But she would not leave the nursery until she was good and ready, no way. She didn't want to risk her life for her Clan yet. She didn't want to have to learn to fight and hunt. Even now whenever she saw the dead fish and furry creatures in the fresh kill pile, it made her sad. And yet she ate them because she would starve if she didn't. Her blue hues caught sight of a cat who was smiling. But-- something was wrong with his eyes. What did he have to smile about? Curiosity peaked, the fluffy kit cautiously approached the other cat.

Fernkit twitched his ears with annoyance. "You're not fun." He stated. His fur began to bristle, he can't believe what this kit just said about Starclan! He closed his eyes for a few moments, trying to take control over his temper. This cat was really beginning to get onto his nerves but he needed to be quiet otherwise they would get caught. He sighed and sat down, "How about in the morning? Will you go out with me then? When it isn't going to rain so hard." He said in a slightly irritated voice.
