It was that time of day again! Well, at least it would be, if Sunheart hadn't been so busy lately. He hardly had time to check in on Blueberry and the kits. But today, he did have time! And he was certainly going to use it.
As he pushed his broad shoulders through the nursery entrance, he was surprised to see Antlerkit sitting there waiting, almost expectantly. "Hey there, Antlerkit," He mewed warmly, nuzzling the small tom's head gently with his nose. "Whatcha doing waiting right here? Expecting someone?" The deputy questioned, peering deeper into the nursery to see if Blueberry had maybe stepped out. He didn't see her, but maybe Antlerkit had been waiting for her to return. "Everything alright?"
( EEP for some reason I never got notif ;v; I'm sorry for delay in response )
- Antlerkit-
He/ Him / 3 moons / Riverclan kit Purrks: N/A
Ah, yes. He knew it all along. It felt as if he could foresee the upcoming experiences. But jokes aside, he’s so thrilled to meet his father- …ahem. Friend. Antlerkit darts to him before Sunheart makes a gentle nuzzle on his head. “Sunny!!!” There’s a lot to tell, and nevertheless, Antlerkit barely told his parents about anything in general. What a pity. His parents must be very busy with clan duties or such.
“You were gone fer’ sooo long! Must be tirin’ ta be a deputy.” He teasingly considers, but he’s still annoyed that he rarely has the opportunity to meet him. “Anyways, I want'd ta tell ya that I’ve stack'd ta tallest pebble towa EVA!” Antlerkit raises his arms and gestures the height of the tower as precisely as possible, but his tiny arms appear to be too short to make it exact. “It’s like… er… whaddya say.. two kitt’n heights tall! Talla than ya! Heheh!” He thereafter lost his balance while spreading his arms and stumbled onto the nest with a thump. “…Owey.”

Pale green eyes widened slightly at the nickname, but he knew he didn't have the heart to correct Antlerkit. He was just too darn cute! Geez, what a softie, he was...Perhaps when he was older, the deputy would correct him (he would not).
"It can be busy being the deputy, but I'll always make time for you guys." Sunheart purred. He looked thoughtful for a moment after his words. He knows he definitely meant it, and it was kind of nice. Maybe...well, now was not the time for those kinds of questions.
Whiskers twitching in amusement at the young tom's excited outburst, he settled into a loaf in front of him as he listened. "Two kittens high?!" He gasped, eyes alight with humor. Watching as Antlerkit spread his paws in the air and fell backwards, the rosetted tom covered a snort with a small coughing fit. "Are you okay, Antlerkit? Your mother will never forgive me if you got hurt on my watch." It was said as a joke, but a tiny, cold shiver ran down Sunheart's spine at the thought. Queens were scary.

Right. His mother. Where is she, actually? Stars, he shouldn’t forget his mother! “But ya know where Ma’ is, right?” He whispered with his widened, dark eyes, but bothered that he might make Sunheart worried as well. “Well, err… If Ma’s not there, then I want ya ta tell her ‘bout everythin’ I told ya! She will be proud of me ‘n praise me, just ya wait!” He got on all four legs to puff his chest with an honored vibe.
“Speakin’ of Ma’, I saw ya oft’n bein’ togetha with her, tho. Are ya both frien’s? Er… Oh! Someon’ told me ‘bout so-call’d “mates” n’ such…" He paused for a moment to ponder, bronze eyes glued to the floor. "what r’ they, actually?”

A slight frown of concern at Antlerkit's initial question, he shook his head. "Not right now, no. I'm sure she just went to stretch her legs." Sunheart mewed soothingly, hoping he sounded convincing. He knew Blueberry hated being stuck in the nursery, but even she wouldn't be so foolish as to leave the camp while she still has kits to watch over.........right?
Shaking the thought from his head, he chuckled at the kit's words. "Of course- it'll be the first thing I tell her when I see her." He promised, raising a paw in an attempt to briefly noogie Antlerkit's head. "We'll always be very proud of you." We? He was talking like he was this kit's father. Well, he supposed it should still be natural for him to be proud. He was RiverClan's deputy, after all, and the youth was what kept the clan going. Ah, he was thinking about this too hard.
Blinking in shock at the tiny tom's next question, Sunheart cleared his throat awkwardly. Was it his place to talk to Antlerkit about this kind of stuff? His pelt felt warm under his pelt all of a sudden and he looked off to the side awkwardly. "Well, of course your mother and I are friends. Good friends." He replied slowly, internally cringing. "Mates are...it's like Blueberry and I-" Heat creeped quickly through his pelt. "A-as in, they're like us. Friends. But they are...in...loooove?" The tom dragged out the last word in a confused tone. Does Antlerkit even really understand what love is yet? He's so young...Stars, where was Blueberry?
( @Rudie - HE'S SO CUTE do we bring Blueberry in? :3 )
"It was! Butterflies are really pretty," Lichenkit agreed. They really didn't know much about bugs, but they were nice to look at. So different from cats. You couldn't collect them like rocks, though. "and so are dragonflies."
It only now hit them that they flying bugs were their favorite. Was it just that they had an affinity for flying creatures, despite being the only kit in her family not named after a bird? No, not that. Bird weren't even their favorite thing to eat. Sure, they were majestic, but they didn't capture the same appeal. Maybe because flying bugs you could get close to before the flew off. They would have to think about this later.
For now though, Basilkit deserved Lichenkit's attention! Her and the little wriggler, of course. It kept going on its way, uncaring of the conversation that it sparked. "What's you favorite kind of bug?"
“Loooove?” With his head tilted, the lilac kitten mimics the deputy’s awkward tone. He knows that they usually use the word “love” to define something they like a lot, but what does “love” and “mates” have in common? However, instead of focusing more on their gist, he just straight off says the word out loud, bronze eyes widened with notion. “Looove!” He would nod for a brief moment.
Sunheart knows a lot about the world, doesn’t he? Well, if so, then he’s very proud of having him as his fath- …friend. Who is his real father, actually? Antlerkit thereafter begins to march around in a small circle, before encircling around the deputy, head empty. “Love, love, loooove.” Love is so fun to spell! “Love, love…” He pads back to his usual spot and finally looks up to Sunheart. He seems so flustered; did he do anything wrong? Perhaps he doesn’t enjoy the word “love” at all?
“If I’m gunna be as old as ya, my warria name will be Antlalove!” He feels urged to spell it out several more times, but Sunheart gets the point. “I love Antlalove, I love Sunny, I love Ma’ n’ my sibs~…” He sways from left to right while he sings a completely made-up song.
