Resources are always needed. Being with that (which I totally forgot. I really need to reread the entire series again), we can rp them opening their eyes right now and the Silentshadow trying to help them get their paws under them? Can have someone come in the talk with Silentshadow first if possible))

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar As sunlight flickered through the Grotto home of RidgeClan, the group's leader had woken at her usually early hour. Now rather than rest contently amidst the foliage as she might normally have done, however, today Copperstar had purpose to her careful vigilance. The night before Copperstar had returned home to the news that the clan had gained four new members. All the more need for added surveillance. However, her return to camp alongside Stoneclaw had been so late during the evening, she had resisted the urge to intrude upon the new mother and instead wait her turn, as the medicine cat had carefully told the rest of the clan to. Copperstar had no doubts that the Queen was likely in desperate need of a good sleep. Likely one of the last for a good few moons, now she had newborn kittens to handle. Now dawn was upon camp, and the snores amidst the camp were beginning to fade - instead replaced by the telltale movements of life and activity. Copperstar decided that it was likely a more reasonable time to be able to meet her clan's newest little ones. Shifting with mild restlessness in her spot, it was hardly the first litter born in the aftermath of war, but still the young leader was left with a similar sensation every time it happened. A gratitude that they were born in times of peace, and a determination to ensure that they would never know it as she had. Overly optimistic and likely overly hopeful, but it had never been in Copperstar's nature to listen with ease - especially not when doubted by those around her. Shaking the thoughts free from her mind, the tabby shecat lifted herself to her paws with a flick of her tail. Leaping from where she had been settled amidst the tree tops, and weaving her way carefully through camp until she came across the nursery. Hesitating on the ledge just outside the den. Copperstar wouldn't normally have presumed the need to gain permission before entering one of the clans dens, but did so mostly out of courtesy. From experience new mothers could be overly protective of new kittens, and she would rather retreat from the experience with her ears still in tact. Pausing, listening carefully for signs of life within the den. She called softly through the den's entrance, "Silentshadow, are you awake?" She questioned.

SilentshadowWith Copperstar, Mistykit, Drizzlekit, Ivykit, and Coalkit. In Nursery. inky 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ The black fur of the queen shone lightly in the dim light of the nursery, four small bundles of fur lay along her belly nursing. Her eyes shone with happiness and she was oviouslytried, her kits being quite the rowdy bunch. As she yawned widely the small fluffy gray kit became dislodged from his spot and squealed loudly. With gentle movements, Silentshadow nudged him back toward his spot and the tom soon quieted once more. The nursery smelled of warm milk and was calming, almost soothing in a way, lulling the queen into a peaceful rest. She was soon shaken from the rest by the sound of Copperstar's voice, her ear twitching lightly as she picked up on the few words the sh-cat said. "Yes, I'm awake. Come on in Copperstar, I would love some company currently and I'm sure you wish to meet the new little ones." A small laugh was in her voice as she spoke, knowing all to well a lot of the cats in the clan were wanting to meet the kits, but had been told off by Sagegaze.

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Recieving permission, the tabby pushed through the entrance to the nursery. The familiar scent of milk and new life flooding her senses. Whilst it had been moons since she had been a kitten herself, the den never failed to have a soothing effect on the young shecat. For a long time it had been one of few safe places in camp, and towards the end of the war even that had begun to be proved incorrect. Approaching the exhausted queen with a lowered head, polite and respectful of the young mother. The leader allowed a small smile to light her scarred expression at the sight of four bundles of fur curled up beside their mother, oblivious to the shecat they would one day learn to be their leader. "I will admit, Silentshadow," the leader said with a soft purr. "They are rather cute," she wrapped her tail neatly around her slender frame. "Do these sweet creatures have names yet?" RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Mistykit Contently curled in the warmth of her mother's coat, was the tiny Mistykit. All most invisible against the larger bodies of her siblings, she seemed entirely content as she slept. Unaware of the world outside of her nest and family, the little smokey tortoiseshell wouldn't have been roused by a thunderstorm outside. Focused only on sleeping and eating, unaware that life had anything else to offer outside of her tiny bubble. Waking to the voice of her mother, Mistykit elicited a soft mewl of complaint. Nuzzling closer to her mother's chest, soft grey coat melding against the darker shades of her mother's silk soft fur.

SilentshadowWith Copperstar, Mistykit, Drizzlekit, Ivykit, and Coalkit. In Nursery. inky 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ The black furred queen let out a light purr before turning to her now awake kit. "Calm down little one, you need your rest." She nudged her closer and licked her fur lightly before turning her attention back to Copperstar, a flicker of exhaustion in her eyes. "They are cute. But they're also a pawful." She chuckled lightly before moving her tail to point to each kit as she spoke their names. "Meet Coalkit, Drizzlekit, Ivykit, and Mistykit." She purred as she said their names, a feeling of warmth and pride flooding through her as she introduced her kits to the leader of the clan.

Dislodging himself from his mother the small tom kit began to turn, moving around in the odd shambling way that young kits normally did before they could walk. He mewled loudly, as though yelling out for whoever it was to show themselves. After a bit though the kit stilled and seemed to go as still as stone, barely even breathing. Silentshadow quickly grabbed him, licking him a few times before he mewled and began to move around once more. She returning the small one to her belly where he went back to nursing.

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Listening as the queen introduced her kits with an intent twitch of her ears, Copperstar smiled lightly as she watched the tiniest shecat rouse from her sleep, mewl a little before promptly being settled by her mother. "Your a good mother," Copperstar complimented with a dip of her tabby head. Offering the aid of her nose to replace the smokey tortoiseshell back to her mother's side, though backing off in case her offer was not appreciated. The sight admittedly brought a little melancholy to the scarred leader, the idea of kits had been one that had crossed her mind more often than she liked to admit. But life had provided her few opportunities to settle down and raise a litter, it was damn near miraculous she had a mate of her own considering everything. For the longest time it had seemed a cruelty to deliver kits into the war her clan had known, but now it was over she feared her time had passed. Knowing after everything she had been through, everything she had seen - everything she had done... She wouldn't make a good mother, and had long resigned herself to the fact she would only ever admire kittens from a far, never to have a litter of her own. Forbidding herself to dwindle on the idea, she looked up as Silentshadow finished her introduction. A smile lighting her expression as she noted the deep pride and adoration that had already fixed itself within the queen. "Beautiful names for beautiful kits," she dipped her head in approval. Moving she touched her wet nose gently to the sides of each kitten, the scent already becoming familiar to the leader's nose; knowing as they grew she would learn more about them, and she had little doubt that they would grow to become fine warriors. However, her gaze admittedly narrowed a shade when she noticed the antics of the small grey tom. Watching intently as Silentshadow was quick to tend to him, seemingly reviving him from... what she didn't know. Tilting her head to the side, she questioned with concern to her tone of voice. "What's wrong with this little one?" RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Mistykit Soothed somewhat by the attention of her mother, the tiny shekit curled closer to her mother with a soft sigh. Kneading her tiny paws into the queen's side, latching on contently. Aware of Coalkit returning to her side, but otherwise not caring about the struggles of her brother, or at the very least unaware of it. She let out a tiny mewl once again, however, at the touch of a foreign nose. Knowing already the difference between 'mama' and 'not mama' and this was a distinctly not mama smelL. She burrowed closer with a squeak, disliking the strange sensation and scared by it. Her experiences limited.

SilentshadowWith Copperstar, Mistykit, Drizzlekit, Ivykit, and Coalkit. In Nursery. inky 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ A flash of worry passed through the queen's gaze, followed by a sigh as she looked sadly at the small tom. "Mistykit is a runt and Coalkit has some kind of issue. Both of them are a lot smaller and weaker than Drizzlekit and Ivykit but along with that. Coalkit will sometimes stop breathing at random and so Sagegaze and me are having to keep close watch on him. We don't know what exactly is wrong with him yet though." She laughed lightly, though the sound was forced and false. "I'm sure Sagegaze will figure it out though and get him fixed up. It can't be anything to serious... right?" She seemed to be trying to convince herself instead of the leader.

He didn't know of the worry he caused, of what was wrong with him, he was completely innocent to these things at the moment. All he was aware of was the warmth of his mother and sisters and the soft milky scent of the den around him. And the only thing the tom truly needed to worry about was managing to get a spot at his mother's belly to feed.

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Copperstar, known to be quite the master when it came to shielding her emotions from those around her, found herself grateful for this fact in that moment. Able to maintain a neutral, bordering on happy expression in spite of the concern and worry that burned in her chest for the littlest members of her clan. Seeming to contemplate for a moment, she moved with astonishing gentleness for a leader known for her prowess on the battlefield. Touching her nose gently to the smokey grey kittens side, as she inhaled curiously. Checking him, whilst she lacked medical knowledge she knew a healthy kit from an unhealthy one. And despite his troubles, she sensed this tiny creature to be a fighter already. "And you're certain he has no illness?" The leader's question was a gentle one, wishing wellness for the struggling kitten but concerned whatever might have plagued him could well spread to the other two.

Now all we need to figure out is what it is exactly so we can heal him as well." She nudged the little gray tom as well before smiling softly. "Sagegaze is a wonderful medicine cat though, I know she'll do whatever she can to help him."

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Taking careful note of the queen's protective tone of voice, the manner in which she shifted to encircle the kittens even slightly more tightly. Copperstar regarded the young mother with a twitch of her ears, but no more. Respecting Silentshadow's subconcious gestures as she took a step back, with a soft sigh. Settling down a little further away than she had initially, not wishing to cause the queen more stress than was necessary during this time. "I have no doubt, and under the medicine cat's careful eye, Coalkit will become as strong as any warrior our clan has to offer." She spoke giving no sign of the doubts that lingered in her chest. RidgeClan was a different place, there was no need to fear for weak kittens as the clan once might have, here they were allowed to blossom and grow, not wither and die. Coalkit will be fine, she insisted to herself.

SilentshadowWith Copperstar and kits. In Nursery. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ She gave a nod of her head and smiled softly. "Yes, he will grow to be a great, strong tom who will bring much pride to me. As will the rest of my little ones." She chuckled softly and looked at the leader, her eyes shining with curiosity now. "What about you Copperstar? Have you ever thought about having kits? With how much time you've been spending with Stoneclaw I wouldn't be surprised if you were joining me soon." The black she-cat knew very well the leader was still plagued by thoughts of the seasons of war they had gone through, but she also needed to realize that peace had set upon the clan and it wasn't only her fighting to keep it that way.

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Twitching an ear in mild surprise of the question, most didn't have the courage to outright ask their leader such a question, but Copperstar wasn't about to scold her for it. The tabby shecat didn't answer for a moment, her gaze melancholy as she watched the kits squirming and mewling at their mothers belly nursing. Part of her pined to say yes as she watched the kittens, knowing most cats her age would have probably had kittens of their own by now if not one or two litters. And despite being a quiet natured cat, she admitted to herself that she did hold a soft spot for kittens, and knew Stoneclaw would hardly refuse to were she to suggest it. But for Copperstar the war had never truly ended, the fear remained in the back of her subconscious that it would one day return, and she struggled enough to watch her clan struggle through the throes of battle, she could only begin to imagine how mad seeing her own kits in the chaos of battle would drive her. "You seem to be mistaken, Silentshadow," Copperstar replied with a surprisingly humerous tone of voice. "I have many kits of my own, the clan are my kits," she spoke with a charm and chuckle that hid the true feelings burrowed into her chest. "And they keep me busy enough to avoid thinking of having my own," she admitted with a sigh.

Drizzlekit - - In the Nursery - - With Silentshadow, and Copperstar - -
All of these noises were driving her crazy! Noticeably during her mother and her leader's conversation, Drizzlekit had grown increasingly more fussy, first it was just loud, annoyed exhales, but then she started to squirm, bat her more powerful legs against her weaker siblings. I'm trying to nap here! She thought to herself. The little brown tabby had yet to open her eyes, all she knew was sleep, but soon it would be time t open her eyes and meet the strange new world before her. But she wasn't ready for that yet, she still wanted sleep... "MEWL!" She finally gave a loud squeak, the sound strong and healthy, although she was so young, already the molly was quiet loud. She turned her head to the voice that wasn't that which she was familiar with. Her ears lowered, and her small paws stretched out in the direction of Copperstar and attempted to bat her away, although she was too far for her little arms to go far at all.
So young, and already starting trouble it seemed...

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Distracted from her conversation by the sensation of a feather landing on her paw, she looked down to discover it was not in fact a feather, but instead a small kitten attempting to bat her legs into oblivion. An amusing sight given that the leader's own paw nearly doubled the size of the newborn kitten, Copperstar watched with amusement lighting her gaze as the kitten played furiosly with her leg. Mewling all the time as though insistent on being heard. Lowering her nose to tease at the kitten's silk soft ears, she used a gentle paw to bat the kitten's nose before rolling the kitten onto her back. Attacking the kitten with the furiosity she might have done a fox, but instead of fangs and claws she used the most evil tactic that came to mind, and a well known winner in the face of kittens. Tickling. Her touch feather light as she played with the kitten briefly, a soft purr pulling from her lips before helping the kitten upright and replacing her at her mother's stomach. "Don't test your leader, little one," she warned though her voice remained soft and playful. "She's meaner than she looks."

SilentshadowWith Copperstar and kits. In Nursery. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ "Copperstar, I pride myself on being the most quiet cat in the clan. With this quiet comes my ability to listen and to watch. I can tell that you don't feel that way. Why are you lying to herself? The war is over and you are not the only one fighting to keep it that way, all of your clan is trying to fight to sustain the peace we have achieved. Yes, having kits can be scary, I know. But it is one of the most rewarding things you can ever have. I never in my life pictured myself as a mother, yet here I am. So you shouldn't be afraid of the future and you should not let the past control you. The only true way to live, is in what we are doing right now." She smiled softly at her leader, nothing but truthfulness and caring with her gaze. She turned and nuzzled her kit softly. "Quiet now, I'm talking to Copperstar."

RidgeClan Nursery, With Silentshadow and kits, Jekyll , Copperstar Straightening from where she had been briefly distracted, the shecat released a quiet sigh. Her tail wrapping around her slender frame, gaze fixed to her paws before she dragged it upward, refusing to allow herself to show just how frustrated or upset the subject matter caused her. Namely because she new her fears were illogical and stupid, but still she was never able to shake them free of her mindset or push past it to continue with her life. She was terrified war would descend upon the clan again, and the idea of bringing kittens into the life she'd known as a young cat made the idea sickening to her. Unhelped by the fact Copperstar had never known a role model in her life, she was raised to battle and slaughter, nurturing was a self taught skill and one she always doubted herself on. "I don't know if you noticed," Copperstar's tone was even but a saddened glint in her gaze gave her away. "But I hardly had parents as a kit myself, I would make a rubbish mother as it is. I wouldn't force that onto a kit if the Stars themselves told me too."
