A Treasured Feast [P]

***Alchemist Kitsune*** · #1 November 8th, 2024, 07:50 PM

Massive paws silently padded through the cool moors, nose quivering at the delightful scent of not one, but two rabbits. Leafbare was fast approaching, and while Crowtooth made just as fantastic a deputy as Fallownose had - not that the gentle giant had ever doubted Twilightstar's choice... he just had a natural preference for his former father-in-law - and kept the prey pile well stocked, his kits had... seemingly infinite stomachs. No matter how much they ate, they never seemed to be satisfied. Not that they necessarily seemed to enjoy their meals half the time. With the exception of Cardinalkit, whom he was sure could eat rocks if she was hungry enough, his other treasures were... picky eaters. Which of course was fair! Why, everyone had their preferences! He himself enjoyed rabbit. The fresher, the better!

That's what had led him out here on the hunt today. Searching for the perfect meal for his precious little ones. He wanted them all to be well fed, strong, and healthy. Well... strong enough to be healthy. He wouldn't love them any less if they weren't physically powerful, by golly! Maybe he should make sure to let them know that more often. More snuggles for them in the future for sure. But that would have to wait. Because his nose had not led him astray, and he could spot the two rabbits now. Surprisingly plump for the end of leaffall. His kits would - hopefully - be thrilled!

| Decided to split this starter up between Snowybreeze out hunting and then Cardinalkit spotting Snowydad coming in with two rabbits to eat, but if anyone else wants to have their kit spot Snowydad first and tell the others feel free to do so!

2-3 Moons - WindClan Kit
No Purrks

The nest was warm, with Cardinalkit surrounded purely by the only cats in the clan that mattered. Ber, Seeds, and the rock heads. It was a shame that Snowydad couldn't sleep here with them, because unlike Firenotmom, he would have at least been somewhat worthy enough to enter their nest. But the large kit didn't mind. Not really. True. She no longer saw their father as a uniquely weak, whimpering catastrophe waiting to happen after he had slammed the fire into submission. But he was still... not strong enough. Not competent enough. A bad influence for Seeds, who every day softened up more and more. Like him.

And yet even with these thoughts in mind she was still the first to awaken, pale, verdant eyes squinting away the sleep as a delectable scent filled the nursery air. A massive form made its way toward the nest, and the young calico's ears perked, delight clear in her gaze despite her dejected thoughts towards the tom that made his way towards them. Quickly getting up, the off white she-kit stretched, fur flying out in all directions as she stiffly left the nest, her young kit fuzz not yet enough to combat the increasingly cold weather of leaf-fall. While sleep had been the only thing she required mere moments ago, the scent of the prey their father carried in his mouth instantly coaxed hunger to gnaw at her stomach, her fangs glinting giddily as she offered the white feline a greeting meow. Rushing towards him, she bumped her head against his thick foreleg, earning herself a purr as the tom dropped the rabbits - there were two, delicious - and a lick that further ruffled up the tuft of fur over her head.

"Oy! Ber! Seeds! Jaggs! Frost! Poppa's here! And he's got food!" she called, deciding to not make too much of a deal over her father's nuzzle - she was a strong kit, she didn't need no nuzzles... she just tolerated them for his sake - and instead turning towards her family's nest, mouth watering already at the fresh scent of the prey.

Jaggedkit had found himself to be getting increasingly tired recently and he wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it had to do with the weather getting colder. Cuddling with his siblings in their nest had become much more appreciated and common these days. It was warmer and so he wasn't too fond whenever their collective nap was interrupted. A fresh new scent entered the den catching his attention, it only took him a few moments to identify what it was and then he immediately went back to ignoring it. Some cat had brought prey into the den, probably for one of the Queens or maybe some other kits. Jaggedkit tucked his head, wrapping his paws tightly around it and squeezing his eyes shut. Trying to will himself back to sleep. This seemed pointless as the sound of one of his siblings leaving the nest and taking some of the warmth with them. Reluctantly he raised his head and peered through tired eyes at Cards walking away. Where was she going and why?

It took him a bit too long to realise his sister was walking towards someone and that someone being his very own dad. His thoughts only caught up when Cards had called for them and explained that Snowy dad had brought them food. His thoughts felt all over the place and slow recently, that and being tired more often? Jeez the cold must really be messing with him.

Jaggedkit rose from the nest and took a few sluggish steps in the direction of his sister and dad before stretching. Wake up wake up wake up. After stretching and willing himself to move, he quickened his step and bumped his head against his dad's leg in greeting. "hi!" a rumble of a purr could be faintly heard as he greeted his dad. Green eyes then inspected the prey Snowybreeze had brought, not to excited about that. After trying all variety of prey brought to camp, Jaggedkit had realised he didn't quite like anything at all and he'd stopped eating and found a much better use for said prey. Using a mouse as a better mossball and rabbits as pretend enemies to practice battle moves on was much more fun.
