Ivymask gave a nod of appreciation at the moss, pressing her share into her nest. "Luckily my kits are almost apprentices, so they'll be more adapt to the cold." She looked at Frostlake.

Frostlake nodded in agreement. "I know you don't have to worry about a thing, Ivymask. It's Vemonspirit's kits I'm most worried about, however."

"Well, luckily they all inherited their father's long fur...though, I am fretting for them still. Not to mention Nightflame's newborns." Ivymask sighed, tail flicking as she gazed at her mentor and her newborne kits.

Frostlake flattened her ears and sighed. "The river freezing doesn't help us either."

"Oh wonderful." Ivymask huffed, a flare of her fiery personality coming through, before she settled herself back down and nodded. "Hopefully we can chase some land prey out of their burrows then."

Frostlake gave a light smile. "If you know how to do that, then let me know."

"I'm not the best land prey hunter, but I sure know that Venomspirit and Owlwhisker know a thing or two about that." Ivymask nodded, eyes glancing over at her good friend and her daughters.

"Then I'll be sure to ask them when they're not resting." Frostlake nodded with a smile.
Ottermask returned to camp with the brambles.

"Thank you, Frostlake." Ivymask gave a nod of agreement, before she gazed at her playing kits. She hummed. "I sometimes still can't imagine how I became a mother."
Diamondheart greeted Ottermask with a wave of his tail.

Frostlake fell quiet for long moments. "You're lucky to be one."
Ottermask returned the greeting with a flick of his ear, still dragging the brambles over. "I hope this will be enough."

Ivymask cut right to the chase, her green eyes flashing with both sympathy and boldness. "You thinking of talking to Earthstar about kits of your own?"
Diamondheart gave a quick nod. "It looks like enough. We'll weave it in and see!"

Frostlake blinked in startled surprise. "Wh-what? N-no, Earthstar has kits of his own. I-I don't think..." She trailed off, her ears growing hot in embarrassment.
Ottermask nodded in agreement, "I'll start on this end." He picked up on of the brambles and dragged it to the nursery, carefully rasining it up to get one of the holes toward the top.

"Frostlake." Ivymask mewed pointedly. "Earthstar clearly moved on from the past. He clearly loves you. And cats shouldn't be constrained by past relationships when it comes to being happy with kits...Do you want kits?"
Diamondheart gave a small smile, before he got to work. As he stood on his hind paws, he mewed to Ottermask. "I hope I can meet my neice one day soon. At a gathering more so than on a battlefield. I'm surprised Whiteblaze and Hornetstrike's litter was only one kit." He chatted.

Frostlake glanced away, her ears tilting back. "After what happened with Adderstar...I never thought I should have kits." Despite how much I want them.
Ottermask flicked his ear. "I almost feel the same way, but about my nephew." He glanced over at Diamondheart. "Even though I've met him before."

(happy new year, everyone ) Berryshine sat down by the river and let her emerald eyes wander over the dancing water, which sparkled on its way along the rock-covered riverbank she was resting on. She knew her time was probably better spent trying to catch a fish or two, but she just couldn't help it. She loved watching the river too much to contemplate disturbing its peace at the moment.

"I almost feel the same way, but about my nephew." He glanced over at Diamondheart. "Even though I've met him before." "Look at me. What Adderstar did, he did, on his own. You can't punish yourself for his sake...if you want kits, you have kits." Ivymask mewed with fire and support in her voice. Diamondheart gave a sympathetic look. "I have faith he will return to Riverclan..."

Frostlake smiled softly. "Always the support, aren't you Ivymask?"
Ottermask didn't look at him, but his doubt was clear in his eyes. "So Hornetstrike had a kit. I hope you won't have to face her in battle someday." He attempted an amused look at the deputy. "She might beat you."

"That's my speciality. Keeping my clanmates from being mousebrains." Ivymask winked, before she gave a supportive look. "It's always your choice. You and Earthstar. Take it as a chance to start a new era, free of the claws of Adderstar." She glanced fondly at Venomspirit, at Adderstar's happy and sweet granddaughters.
Diamondheart gave a soft purr. "Ah, if she's as skinny as her father, I think I could just sit on her..." He seemed wanting to speak more on the subject of Deadpaw, but decided to not do so.

Frostlake flicked her ear. "Oh...I don't think I'll ever be free of him. He was my brother and I did love him."
Ottermask weaved another bramble in. "That solves all your problems doesn't it?" He rolled his eyes in amusement. "Just sitting on them."

"You can be free of his foolish choices. And of his darkness. He'll always be your littermate, but even then, siblings don't control eachother. And you have the whole clan supporting you! Mates with the leader!" Ivymask assured with both humor and honesty.
"Ah, it's lasted me long enough, yes? My best tactic." Diamondheart teased, weaving in another reed and giving Ottermask a friendly shoulder-brush.

Frostlake's ears grew hot at Ivymask's teasing. "Well, I suppose."
Ottermask backed up from the nursery, looking over the work he did. "I think it's coming along quite well, don't you?"

Ivymask perked in realization before smirking. "I don't blame you. I fell head over paws for Earthstar's blood too. Troutfang is a Salmon among Minnows. My brave warrior." She purred. "If you do have kits, they'll be kin of my kits."
Diamondheart took a step back and admired the detailed work. "Excellent. Though, we always make the best team."

Frostlake purred. "I like the sound of that."
Ottermask nodded in agreement. He looked around the rest of the camp. "Maybe we can find something to reinforce the elder's den too?"

"Me too. Means my kits have even more family." Ivymask smiled. Having been mostly alone for alot of her life, having such a big family now was awesome.
Diamondheart gave a nod. "It's a good thing we have so few elders. Leaves more prey and herbs for the queens. But the den should always be tended to." He glanced at Jaggedpaw, who was rushing around with moss to change nests. The deputy nodded in approval, before following Ottermask to the Elder's den.
Only to blanch in surprise as he saw Smogstorm limping and pulling her leg behind her, carrying a fish to the elders.

"Smogstorm, what are you doing?" Ottermask quickly trotted up to the she-cat. "You should be staying warm in the medicine den."

Berryshine sighed, noticing that it wouldn't be long until her beloved river would be nothing more than a white sheet of ice, unmoving and lifeless. Sure, it would still sparkle in the light of both sun and moon, but it just wasn't the same.

Foxripple stalked behind Berryshine, having seen her come out to look at the water. The ginger tom gave a loud "Boo!"
Smogstorm turned to look at Ottermask, calm yet slightly ruffled with sheepishness. The quiet she-cat placed the fish down in the elder's den before limping to her favorite companion. "Just helping out a bit. Some exercise to warm me." She explained.

Berryshine let out a startled squeak and jumped high into the air before falling down into a heap of snow. Getting up and shaking off the fluffy snowflakes, she sighed in relief when she saw Foxripple behind her instead of the anticipated manifestation of horror. "You really got me." She took a deep breath, then smiled slightly. "I didn't notice you at all."

"Yes! Victory for Foxripple! Ah, though, sorry for spooking the lovely she-cat." The flirty tom gave a humored wink. Even so, Foxripple's pelt fluffed up, wavy strands of fur catching in the wind. He smiled brightly. "Trying to catch some fish?"
