RabbitFur's ears twitch as the kits in her belly kick.
"Merow." Rabbitfur mumbles in pain.
rabbitfur was hungery but she was in too much pain to want to get up and get a peice of prey from the fresh-kill pile. she tries to shift around to get confterable. but she couldn't.
"hmph. wait don't the aprenices sometimes clean out the queen's moss in the nursery? rabbitfur thinks
rabbitfur's moss and bedding were damp like it hadnt been changed in days. it made rabbitfur really unconfeterable.

▁▂▃▅▆▇ the Tom gritted his teeth at the tiny needle like teeth in his tail "ah- hey kitto, that's my tail not prey, try and not bite and keep your claws in okay buddy?" beachheart smiled, "you wanna see a warrior in a hunting stance? I can teach you, you'd be a good hunter" he smiled. ▇▆▅▃▂▁
Raccoonkit leaped off of the tom's tail, nodding enthusiastically. His tail waved excitedly behind him as he looked up at the other through wide pale green eyes "yeah! I've asked my older siblings to teach me stuff but they're always too busy" He said, rolling his eyes followed by a huff as he sat.
{ yo just curious wanna actually be Racc's mentor? He's able to be an app on the 9th! }

▁▂▃▅▆▇ he purred "I have all the time in the world, I'm not a busy warrior, I only stay in camp to watch over the elders and kits." he then dropped into a hunting crouch, tail was down low and smooth, his fur flattened and his ears went forward. "when in a hunting crouch, you got to make sure your down wind and your paws have to be placed down super quiet." he then straightened up "now test it on this leaf." he grabbed a nearby leaf and placed it in front of the kit. "downwind means the wind is blowing towards you not behind you." he then sat down and smiled "when your a apprentice your mentor can show you more." he purred. ▇▆▅▃▂▁

At Stormstar's orders, Brokenstream dipped his head respectfully to both her and the medicine cats before casting a sorrowful look at Rainsong and retreating from the medicine den. He was thankful for Seabreeze's quick jump to action to protect the other kits, but he wanted more eyes than just the two of them.
"Seabreeze!" He called out to the tom, beckoning him with his tail. "No other kits were harmed, yes? And no more sign of the hawks?" He questioned with a tilt of his head, anxiety clear in his gaze. While he awaited an answer, the bengal tom glanced around the clearing until he caught sight of some of the other Lionheart team.
"Rowanmane, Heroneye, Goldfish! Would you all come here please?" His eyes kept flicking from his Clanmates to the skies as he paced in front of the nursery, briefly popping his head in to do a headcount. "Seabreeze, if you would please debrief these three on the situation. You were much faster and more helpful than I." He mewed, dipping his head respectfully to the former Lionheart. "I think for now we should have the nursery guarded at all times," Brokenstream began, looking at each of the Clanmates in front of him in turn. "I believe Caveclaw is still recovering, so she can't be in rotation right now, but I want to make sure kits aren't running around in the clearing unsupervised period. We should probably avoid letting them out of the den for now until we are sure the hawks are gone." A heavy sigh left Brokenstream's chest. "I'm going to find Owltalon and let her know the situation as well. Any questions before I go?" He took a moment to glance at Seabreeze. "Of course, we would appreciate your continued help for the moment, Seabreeze, if you don't mind."

Seabreeze wouldn't lie and say that his brain was in a bit of a weird back and forth with itself. He was requested to help by Brokenstream, but it felt like he was over stepping his role as a warrior to do so because this seemed to be a Lionheart assigned response. It felt like he was going against Stormstar's word, but that was a guilt that needed to be dealt with later, he was given a command and he was going to follow it no matter how strange it was to do so. It was scarily easy to fall back into a lionheart role, "Of course, all the kits have been shuffled in, the other hawk seems to have flown off.. for now... I'll inform the queens after the lionhearts. Hawks this close to the beach are rare... almost unheard of, especially two, Stormstar agreed with the observation but keeping the kits in for now is still good. I imagine that the hawks were sick or pushed in some way to seek prey here."
He gave a respectful nod to Brokenstream as the lionheart left to find the deputy and turned his attention to the Lionhearts that should've gathered by that point. No doubt already stirred by the situation and now given direction that was the logical conclusion. "Bluekit and Frozenkit were playing in the clearing when a pair of hawks suddenly swooped and grabbed them. Blueberryfrost got there the quickest and managed to pull a hawk down and retrieved both Bluekit and Frozenkit... but their condition didn't look good. I'm unsure of the exact happenings but Brokenstream walked Rainsong, the kits' mother, and Blueberryfrost to the medicine den with Stormstar following shortly after. For now the other kits need to remain in the nursery."
"Any questions? If not, I'll be informing the current queens next. Though I don't think there should be any other swooping.. Hawks don't usually come close to the ocean like this, so I'm thinking they were sick or something... but Owltalon would have a better understanding on that front."
[ @korok - Brokenstream | @Rowan - Rowanmane | @Fits - Heroneye ]
[ Blaze has left WCO recently, so I will not be mentioning her. ]
Heroneye had heard her name. Brokenstream was calling it, alongside the names of a few of her fellow Lionhearts. There could be no mundane reasoning for such a thing, so her mind was, naturally, immediately reeling with possibilities. There was only one way to find out the truth, though, so Heroneye approached Brokenstream and Seabreeze, her expression grave and brow knitted.
Brokenstream began by saying that the nursery should be guarded at all times. Heroneye remembered Fadingstar had wanted to implement a system like that, but between all the chaos of moving between camps as well as the former leader's fate, it had been neglected. She felt her teeth gritting, a whirl of guilt growing in her stomach; there was a reason they were bringing this up now, of all times: hawks.
Seabreeze explained that hawks had attacked the nursery, nearly stealing two of RiverClan's own kits right out from under their noses. The kits had, thank StarClan, survived the attack, but there was no excuse for what had happened. It was their responsibility to protect the nursery, and they had failed. They could not fail again, or Heroneye doubted they would be so lucky a second time.
Heroneye nodded slowly as the former Lionheart finished his explanation. "No questions from me," she said quietly. She paused briefly, glancing between the faces of her Clanmates. "I can take the first rotation." She hesitated again, wondering if that had been too forward, or too sudden. "If that's okay with everyone else, that is." Perhaps she wanted to because she felt that she hadn't been doing enough as a Lionheart, or else to take initiative soothe her own guilt.

___________________________________________
The tom quickly perked up upon hearing his name called…BrokenStreams voice. That means it was probably urgent…related to being a Lionheart and what not. He pushed himself to his paws, and managed to make his way over…still struggling to move upon dog fight injuries (couldn’t he just heal already) and the soreness from the otters. Now he was hearing there was a hawk? What’s was it with having predators around them? Had they not struggled enough and payed for their crimes?
Then SeaBreeze spoke of implementing a rotation…he hoped to get to know the former better, it had been a while since they spoke on the mountains, huh? Now wasn’t the time to think of friendly banter…kits could be dead. He turned slightly to look at HeronEye as she spoke, and nodded. “Yeah- same- no questions ‘ere…I don’ mind ya goin’ first…I could watch over the nursery a’ nigh’?” he offered…not like he’d been sleeping much anyway. “Jus’ t’ make sure no hawks…or a’ our rate, any other predators come flyin’ around.” Sure, hawks were uncommon at night, but they were also uncommon in this area. The clan was sure being put through hell. “If not, I could take early Dawn n’ late dusk?…” Hawks common hunting time, if he wasn’t mistaken that was.

Raccoonkit • He / Him • Riverclan kit • 3+ moons
Raccoonkit watched carefully and mimicked the warrior's crouch, though much more sloppily. His entire body was weirdly positioned, but he had the spirit. He crept forward, his paw steps loud and clumsy. Once he was about a tail's length away from the leaf he leaped, landing awkwardly on his face on the leaf. He bit down, taking the leaf and a mouth full of sand.
He jumped to his paws, proudly puffing his chest up as sand fell from the tom's maw. He held the leaf firmly in his jaw though.
