Carefuly tucking the tiny newborns close to her belly, she looked up in a thankful manner when the medicine cat settled himself beside her to share warmth with the tiny kittens. She burrowed her nose into the fur of her flank, encircling the trio with her exhausted frame. Her fur all but engulfing the trio, her breaths finally beginning to grow steadier. Nodding her head, she attempted to force herself to her paws, a task she managed for an entirety of a heartbeat before she collapsed back beside her kits, legs too exhausted to even hold herself upright. Feeling as though she had failed her kits, unable to even bring them somewhere safe. She whimpered quietly, “I’m sorry,” she whispered hoarsely. “I dont think i can just yet.”

Hornetfalls smiled at hers softly. "Come on, Dawneye and me can support on either side and Resinpaw and Erminepaw can carry the kits, I'll get the third one as I need to keep an eye on him." The tom padded over to Dawneye and nudged him. "Come on, we need to get to camp. Once we're there you can rest. You deserve it after all of this." He smiled softly before padding over and picking up the tom kit, making sure he had a good hold on him before turning and waiting, content to let Cygnetstar use his body as something to lean on for extra support.

Erminepaw padded up to where the rest of the cats were gathered slowly, now with a twig holding a few pale blue berries in his mouth, as well as a few light green leaves. "I'm not sure if either of these would help now..." he trailed off slightly, voice muffled from the herbs in his mouth. He knew borage helped with nursing queens, though that probably wouldn't be useful until they got back to camp, and juniper helped shortness of breath...right? Whether or not that would work was unclear to the apprentice. Oh well, worst case scenario he'd be bringing herbs back to camp. With Patchedpaw. They'd find him first.
((Cool, the two of them have an older sibling figure now! Someone has to deal with Resinpaw just chilling in trees all day and Erminepaw sneaking out of camp. Sorry if Erminepaw is added baggage, by the way.))

Hornetfalls set down the tom kit and smiled at Erminepaw. "You can hand those to me. The water should be good enough that with all of us helping we can get Cygnetstar to shore and then her kits as well. After that we need to get them to camp. We'll have to send out a patrol to try and find Patchedpaw, I'm sorry." He really was sorry that they couldn't take the time to find the apprentice but right now they had to get the newborns to camp and somewhere drier or else more problems could arise.

(the idea was that he came to the island for shelter and stumbled across the leader XD I thought it would be more dramatic)
Looking less than eager at the prospect of subjecting her newborns to the cold winds outside of their little shelter before they’d even had the chance to nurse, the new queen grimaced and forced herself to shaking paws. Grimacing as she did so, she let out a soothing purr when her kits began to cry and mewl when her warmth left their tiny bodies,she lowered her nose to nuzzle at them with a quiet hushing sound. “Hush little ones,” she said with a worried tone of voice. Wrapping her long tail around the trio, offering them some brief warmth before she was forced to move away. “We;ll be home and warm soon,” she promised despite the fact she could barely keep herself upright, limping hard she leant against the medicine cat, shivering as she did so. “Please be gentle,” she said quietly.[/sub

Erminepaw nodded, grabbing the silver kit gently by her scruff. She was so small...he was accustomed to being the youngest cat in the clan, along with his brother, so he didn't really remember dealing with cats this small. The kit barely weighed anything. He was almost afraid she'd fly out of his grasp if a gust of wind hit her. As she squirmed and pressed against his chest, struggling to get warm again, he looked up at Hornetfalls with an almost comedic bewilderment. Was this how holding kits worked? Maybe he should have just kept the herbs in his mouth instead. But he did get the right herbs to the medicine cat, and that was enough to be proud of...or, it would have been if the shadow of losing Patchedpaw didn't eclipse any happy feelings.

Hornetfalls managed to grab the herbs and the tom kit in his jaws, standing strong and nodding to Erminepaw that he was doing good. The tom shifted, the ground underpaw just a bit wet but not much. After a bit he saw Dawneye get up and stretch before the tom padded over and picked up the last kit before supporting Cygnetstar on the other side. He smiled and nudged Cygnetstar softly, wanting her to set the pace. Though after a bit he helped them speed up a bit as he knew they needed to get somewhere warm.

(as they’ve said yes its fine now, just wished to heck )Relying severely on the medicine cat to keep to her paws, but she kept her gaze fixed on her newborn kits, not necessarily glaring but watching VERY protectively as Erminepaw picked up the tiny silver kit, very similar to herself in terms of appearance, but all too tiny. Almost terrifyingly so, as though the kittens would break in half if she as much as breathed on them. She looked to her medicine cat for support and reassurance that the tiny newborns would be ok, trying to ignore their confused cries at the sudden loss of their mother, no matter how it broke her heart. She knew the kittens needed to be transferred by someone strong enough to carry them, and as much as she wanted to she knew it wouldn’t end well if she had to carry a kit. Knowing full well shed likely drop the creature by mistake, as she could barely keep herself to her own paws, let alone carry a kitten. “Shh,” she continued to sooth her kits vocally, trying to keep close to them so at the very least they could catch her scent, and with any luck be less scared by her absence. “I’m here, mammas here.” She might have sounded like a fool, but she didnt care if it helped her litter.

Air. Raggedhiss' lung screamed for air. If he didn't get air soon, he'd pass out and drown. The waves tugged at his fur, the weight of his own pelt dragging him down. Fatigue dragged his whole body down even further, making it seem ten times heavier. But his eyes were locked onto one thing; The shore. An island was in sight, and his only hope was to reach it. He forced his paws to push himself further. He was shaking, his whole body felt cold to the bone. Just a little further... Then his paws hit something. The shore! Pushing himself forward, he stumbled onto the land. He had reached land a bit ago, his fight against the waves still weighing heavy on him. All his strength had left him. The storm was calming down, but that was of little comfort to the tom. He mustn't be caught by any predator; He was in no position to fight or defend himself. He had collapsed for a while, but knew he would be easy prey to anything looking for a meal. Forcing himself to take more steps forward, he searched for a spot to hide for a rest. As he pushed past bushes and brambles, he was completely oblivious as to what he'd stumble onto. The rain was hiding any possible scent. Then, all of a sudden, he was face to face with another group of cats. And mewling kits? They had to be not even a day old! Were these the clan cats he knew of? They were carrying them by the scruff, it was obvious they were headed somewhere. He knew he'd have to immediately make it known he intended no harm. He kept his claws sheathed, and made sure not to give off an intimidating appearance. If these were the clan cats, he had to be careful here. He took a moment to think before he spoke. "I mean no harm." He meowed, loud enough to be heard over the wind, but not too loud to be intimidating. "I'm just looking for a place to rest."

( very much enjoy the fact that you can feel ermine’s terror from looking at him alone XD cygnet looks terrifying XD as though she’s plotting the brutal murder of that apprentice)
A growl tugged from the tired mother’s throat at the sound of approaching pawsteps, it was neither a voice nor a scent she recognised, and whist ewcomers into their little sanctuary of a valley were rare, she wasnt about to allow any risks. Pushing herself forward, all of the weakness suddenly gone as she straightened herself and forced the pain from her gaze, reusing to show weakness in front of a potential threat. She let out a low growl, despite the fact she was limping heavily and still barely able to remain upright, she was leader for a reason ad still a threat to be reckoned with. Placing herself between the patrol and the newcomer, she couldnt have been described as especially friendly looking. “You wont find it here,” the clan weren’t known for being welcoming of outsiders, and motherhood made her especially protective. “You’d best return to the mountains if you know what is good for you,” she warned. Looking to her medicine cat for back up. (feel free to have hornet disagree)

Hornetfalls went tense as he spotted the other cat, his fur bristling up a bit. He didn't put the kit down though, he knew this was something for Cygnetstar to answer and he wasn't about to steal her duties, he was only the medicine cat. He looked at Erminepaw for a moment and then to Dawneye, finally his gaze landed on Cygnetstar before being directed back to the stranger. I don't know about him. He does look half drowned though... maybe he is just looking for somewhere to rest. At the look from Cygnetstar he set down the herbs and the kit. "We have enough to deal with already. We have cats missing and newborns that need to be kept safe. Keep moving and get out of out territory."

I wasn't 100% sure if you wanted him to claim he was from Valeclan just yet, but it seemed fitting xD if not though I'll edit ~ Raggedhiss - Loner - @velveteenwolf Jekyll Wow, these cats were just as unfriendly as the tom was hoping they wouldn't be. Anger bubbled in his stomach. If they were this unwelcoming, how would his plan ever come to fruition? If every cat in their clan was like this, maybe he had no hope. Maybe he should move on. But he wasn't one to give up. He was determined, and he'd do whatever it took to get exactly what he wanted; The she-cat he assumed was the leader's position within the large group of cats. He wanted power and control; And he'd stop at nothing to get it. Even if it meant pushing his anger back and acting as a powerless, weak cat for the time being. "I won't make it to Mainland." He meowed pitifully. As if luck was on his side, he couldn't stop a mouthful of water from coming up his throat and coughing it out. "I'll drown." He shivered violently, the wind mixed with his wet pelt was doing nothing for him. "I'm not just a random cat." He meowed, digging his claws into the earth to keep himself from toppling over in exhaustion. "I'm part of Valeclan!" This was it; The beginning of a plan he had thought over since he'd first seen the clan. He'd stalked them, learned as much as he possibly could, eavesdropped on private conversations and stories of their history. "I'm from the part of the clan that separated from you!" He exclaimed, heaving up another bit of water, although this was noticeably smaller than before.

The snowy grey leader looked less than amused, keeping an ear pricked towards her litter of kits, her priorities were apparent and she wasnt about to put the needs of a stranger over the needs of her tiny newborns. They were under enough danger, and she was very unwilling to allow a potentially dangerous stranger into camp with newborns in it. She would have been tempted to chase him off then and there, or done her best to do os at the very least, had it not been for his next comment which made her freeze in place, uncertainty and doubt lighting her expression. She tasted the air in search of a lie, but found none. But still the new mother regarded him with a look of disbelief.
At first she was tempted to deny him straight out, to not believe him and tell him to get out all the same otherwise she would unsheathed her claws and teach the tom why one shouldn’t anger a new mother. But she began to notice something which made her fur stand on end, namely how many of the traits that he shared with what was the now extinct leading bloodline of the clan. None of which Cygnetstar carried.
Growling lowly “And what proof do we have of this aside from your word?” She challenge, but the doubt lighting her mismatched eyes was apparent for anyone who looked close enough. But she let out a relenting sigh, not that she could ave been described as happy about it. “Fine, you may come into our camp. But dont think this is a permanent fix by any means,” shewarned lowly./sub]

Raggedhiss - Loner - @velveteenwolf He gave an inaudible sigh of relief. It seemed things were heading in the direction in which he liked better than before. It seemed a bit of reason, and manipulation, was what it would take to get his way. He stopped himself from showing any sign of satisfaction; If he gave up his act for just a heartbeat, it was entirely possible the she-cat would catch up on it. From what he could tell, she seemed extremely observant and wary of those she didn't know. He swallowed hard. His physical struggles were no act. He felt he could pass out at any moment, and that would be the end of it all. He let the hopes of the future keep him awake. "Well, I'd say it's proof that I know that such a thing happened." He meowed. In a way he wasn't wrong; How would a loner just passing through know such a thing? He was lucky that he'd never been caught; He had all the information the she-cat could ask for. "I know everything about the clan. Any questions you have, I can answer." He meowed. At the mention of camp, it grew harder for him to hide his true feelings; And his true intentions. "Of course. I'm extremely grateful for anything you offer me." He dipped his head, a show of respect he didn't truly feel.

Hornetfalls just huffed and glared at the tom before picking the herbs and kit back up. He began to help Cygnetstar again, Dawneye helping as well. They once again began to make their way toward camp. The going was excruciatingly slow but after what felt like eons he saw the camp up ahead. "Come on Cygnetstar, keep going, we're almost there. Then we can get you and the kits into your den and you can get some rest." His voice was muffled by the kit and herbs but he did manage to get the words out.

“Word spreads outside of this little valley of us,” was Cygnetstar’s low response, keeping her kits in eyesight but her other senses fixed solidly on the stranger in front of them, her tail flicking from side to side, she looked especially unfriendly. “Do you think your the first to come here claiming to carry clan blood?” She challenged, but listened to her medicine cat’s comment before saying anything further. Following closely, still limping but forcing herself to stand as straight as she could manage for the purposes of not appearing weak. She acknowledged what the medicine cat had mentioned with a shrug of her slender shoulders, it seemed as though she wouldn’t be allowed rest for a while yet, as she needed to be dealing with the ewcomer when she should have been resting.
