Bonepaw didn't budge when she gave him a quick lick.
He didn't mind it, after all.
Such things never really bothered him.

When she asked if he wanted to help, Bonepaw nodded.
"Sure."

He goes a bit further into the den, picking the moss as he did.
His ear twitched as he listened to Nightshiver explain what she was doing.
That can't be too hard.
Just cleaning nests.

And listen, he's barely into apprenticeship and not the best at cleaning nests.
His is... it's existing, that's for sure.
Mostly because he just doesn't focus on doing that.
He's sure he can do it if he just, well, actually does it.

At the moment, he's not too sure where to start, though.
Again, he's sure it'll be easy though.
Not many cats would be able to mess up cleaning nests.

Nightshiver
[ 65 moons | She / Her | Shc Forever Queen | Kitty Softpaws T1 ]

Her eyes softened, watching the young 'paw pick up moss and begin helping her with cleaning these few nests. Though, he looked minorly lost, and Nightshiver let out a little mrrp as she noticed, trying to get his attention. She decided to pretend and act like she couldn't see him struggling, and simply wanted to give an example of how she did it.
"Look,"
The forever queen purred, using her claws to rake together some of the older and dirtier moss, while the edges of the nest remained mostly in tact.
"When.. the nest... isn't too.. too dirty... I leave... the edges as a...a base."
She explained softly, setting old moss aside to then pick up cleaner one, and using her paws to deftly place the clean moss and weave it together between strands, until a new bedding was formed for whomever wanted this nest.
"And I...sometimes use... bendy...bendy sticks, weaved... together to... reinforce... the sides, to create... a hollow... in the... middle."
She then explained, running a paw alongside the raised edges of the nest.
