Its a new moringing in riverclan. Waveclaw had just came out of the nursery after meeting his mate: RabbitFur. Waveclaw sees that the fresh-kill pile was low so he walks over to the riverclan deputy Owltalon.
"hey Owltalon can we go on a hunting patrol? I notice that the fresh kill pile is low and my mate; RabbitFur, is getting restless as it becomes closer for her to have our kits." Waveclaw mews looking at Owltalon.
"and can you ask the leader Stormstar to check in on RabbitFur? Rabbitfur said she wanted to talk to Stormstar." Waveclaw adds
A glossy amber eye blinked at the warrior, her tail giving a quick flick. "'ppreciate yer dedication, but the prey pile ain't as low as ya think it is," she replied, giving her matted fur a quick shake as she sparred a glance to the freshkill pile. Not overflowing, but certainly not scarce. Though, it was about leaf-bare, so scavenging would be wise. She looked back to the warrior with an even gaze, her muzzle twitching.
She wasn't sure what kits had to do was this situation, so she tilted her head. "if yer mate is hungry, they can always nab somethin' ta eat. Won't cha grab 'em somethin' if they cain't themselves?" She asked. Maybe there was another connecting reason... Owltalon had never been pregnant before. Not that she didn't hope to have a family one day, relationships where just --- well, romantic ones --- they were messy. Stupid messy. Hm, but enough of that.
Anyways, she needed to cut to the chase. "Yeah, chap. We can go huntin'." She flashed the warrior a small smile. However, their next question was met with the furrowing brows of the deputy. "Ya know that queens aren't incapable of movin', yeah? Stormstar's den is open, ya can talk ta 'er whenever ya'd like. If Rabbitfur has any concerns, she can come ta 'er. The chief is busy, don't cha think? If it's anythin' health related, the herbalists would be happy ta help 'm sure."

Applekit slowly made her way around the clearing, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock. This all was honestly intimidating. She'd assumed this clan thing would be a couple of cats, yet this was more cats in one place than she'd seen in her entire life. Instead of taking the chance of falling on her face, Applekit plopped down onto her haunches and sighed, her little tail twitching as she looked around. What a wonderful introduction to this clan life.
(Open to interaction, Applekit is new to the clan.)

Snowstripe padded in empty paws her hunt has been a failure n she looked for any interaction trying to make a friend. {Open}
Featherspirit looked up at the sky n sighed n wondered if she should try to find another mate to start a family with. She sighed because she missed grey. {Open}

Waveclaw nods.
"yeah about rabbitfur she's been in pain for over a moon now and i don't know what to do." Waveclaw mews worried
Cries from camp had the leader bolting back, abandoning her going to mark the other side of the territory. Overhead she saw the faint outline of a bird, and the shrieks only made her paws drive into the ground harder. Upon bursting through the camp entrance Stormstar observed the scene, seeing Brokenstream and Blueberryfrost leading Rainsong into the den, and Seabreeze calling for all kits to the nursery.
"What the hell happened??" she snapped, fierce gaze looking to the former Lionheart for an explanation. Her head glanced up to the skies - how in the hell had a hawk managed to swoop in?? They were by the damn ocean, and some of the trees that surrounded the camp hung over so it wasn't like they were in a wide open space where hawks normally liked to hunt!
[ @korok @Dolomedes @Splitmoon - As a heads up, please make sure to allow time for cats to take notice of and battle the hawks; simply saying they took off can come off as powerplay as it does not give any chance for the Clan or cats to react! ]
[ This takes place shortly after the hawk attack, not at the same time as the current Rainsong post in camp ]

Seabreeze paused a moment once he noticed that most kits were inside of the nursery... he glanced around several times still just to be sure, not trusting the skies... or maybe that his paranoia... but for now he needed the threat cleared before he actually stopped protecting. The call from his leader caught his attention though from his post at the door of the nursery. Without moving he explained what he had grasped from the incredibly fast paced event, "There was hawks! Caught some kits.. I followed after Brokenstream but we were both too slow. I think Blueberryfrost attacked but the kits were both lost. I herded all of the kits into the den because I don't want it to swoop again... I didn't think hawks were around here." He added the last thought as he fully processed the situation after the initial threat seemed handled...
The deputy wasn't sure what Waveclaw was going on about. Pregnancy pains? Maybe? Or was it something more alarming? Owltalon wasn't a medic, not in any way. Her amber eye blinked at Waveclaw before her gaze flicked to the nursery. Was his mate in there? It was possible they were still in the warriors den though.
With a brisk shake of her head, the deputy responded. "If yer really concerned about it, go ask Cobwebfern and Berryshine if it's anythin' dire. Other than that, I cain't help ya, chap. But we can still go huntin' if yer up fer it... But, escort yer mate ta the medicine den first."

"They're usually not." This close to the ocean? Yeah, hawk sightings were rare. Especially with the hard surfaces and less than idea grassy spots where prey normally wasn't. It had to have been a fluke of some sort, a one time thing. Stormstar craned her neck upwards, peering through the swaying branches that blocked out some of the sky. No hawks. No birds at all, in fact.
"Make sure the kits stay in the nursery. 'M gonna talk to Brokenstream." She had seen the tom disappear into the medicine den with both Blueberryfrost and Rainsong - who now that she thought about it hadn't looked all that well. The kits lost must've been hers. With a sigh the leader glanced up to the skies one last time before trotting towards the medicine den.
Amberflare...was bored. She hadn't really done anything since her patrol lovely patrol with the equally lovely Stagheart so she felt like she wasn't pulling her weight. No-one seemed to have time for her...maybe they didn't like her? No, no, that was silly. Probably just busy. Either way she couldn't help feel forgotten. She just needed to be a bit more social, that was her solution. Popularity was what made a cat important...right?
Lo and behold something drawed her attention away from her lonely thoughts. 'A kit?' looking a bit taken aback. The pretty flame point suspected the kitten was fresh out of the nursery, only discovering camp for the first time. How sweet...poor little darling must feel a bit overwhelmed...she should go and help! That would be the good, yes?
Quietly, Amberflare approached the kit, trying to catch it's eye before hand so she didn't spook them. Leaning down, she let a soft smile form on her features. "Hey, hon. You're looking a bit lost, would you like me to...show you around?" She cooed, now close enough to get a better look at the kitten. Hmm...this was no newborn..and their Riverclan scent was faint...oh, an outsider? Had Stormstar invited in a loner child into the clan? How peculiar...that meant someone had to take this one under their wing...maybe she could fill that role! Fresh excitement flooded her, though she kept calm as she awaited a response.
