Owlwhisker blinked a bit, before he shuffled his paws. He had never thought about that. Kits did tend to come from relationships, after all. But...he didn't know what fathers were supposed to be like. No tom had ever raised him, and the only she-cat that truly did was his own sister. Tessa was gone, and twolegplace was now in the past. He looked at Littleshadow. Would kits make her happy? He was happy when she was happy. Mintkit looked confused for a moment before she seemed to understand. "Oh! Yeah, I guess it's pretty hard work to play chase all day! Mama does sleep alot. I don't want a mate though! Mates are weird and act all mushy!" She shook her head. Littleshadow laughed, nodding to Mintkit "You're right. Mates are weird and mushy when you're a kit. Do the other kits have the same impression on mates too?" she asked curiously.

Kingpaw was happy at the idea, a smile coming to his face as he gave an enthusiastic nod. "I'd really like that. Spending time with you always makes me really happy." He realized what he said and his ears fell back a bit as nervousness washed through him once more. "I-I-I mean. Because you're such a g-great friend of c-course." "Yeah! The greatest!" Swanflight laughed, though a twinge of something pulled at her heart. She loved being his friend, yet a aprt of her yearned for something that she couldn't put her paw on. She stared at him for a moment, before she finally shook the thought from her head. "Besides, I have to tell you about how much of a grump Iciclestep was being again." She joked as she moved to pick up her fish and began to pad towards camp.

Mintkit squeaked. "Maskkit and I think they're silly. I don't know about the others. Puddlepaw used to think they were icky too before he became an apprentice." She puffed her cheeks, seeming to miss Paleeyes' kits when they were still in the nursery with her.

Kingpaw - Territory - With Swanflight
The tom gave a nervous chuckle, his heart aching at the fact of calling her a friend when he knew he wanted her to be so much more. Maybe in another life they could've been but if he was to have a mate and kits then he could lose his position in the clan and she could lose the respect of their clanmates and he didn't want that for her at all. Still, he could always dream right? Picking up the herbs he had been able to find he waited for her to lead the way while he rolled his eyes. "Isn't she always grumpy though?" His words were a bit muffled.
(How are you wanting to go about the whole thing with these two btw?)

(How are you wanting to go about the whole thing with these two btw?) (I was thinking once he gains his name and they start to get closer and closer, it'll end up with her expecting kits and maybe her not saying who the father is? They could hide it as best as they can.) "He almost always is, though sometimes he can be nicer. Sometimes. Like when we were kits, and Jaggedclaw threw a mossball at me, Iciclestep got in his face and challenged him! He was a little kit against a big old apprentice! Jaggedclaw apologized of course, but Iciclestep thought it hit my eye and protected me." Swanflight giggled, before she pressed her tail tip to Kingpaw's shoulder and spoke around the tail of her fish. "He called me a fish brain this morning because I woke up late." She admitted.

Beep!) Brookheart chuckled as he watched Puddlepaw swim around one of the pools of water at the camp's edge. Puddlepaw seemed determined to swim as best as he could, having been starting swimming training more extensively. The senior Warrior's belly grazed the water, and he blinked warmly at his son. He turned, wondering if Paleeyes or his other kits were nearby. Orchidnight sighed as she finished grooming her fur, the growing heat of the upcoming Greenleaf beginning to sink beneath her dark pelt.

Paleeyes padded over to Brookheart and Puddlepaw, giving a light purr as she bushed against her mate. “It looks like he’ll be a strong swimmer.” She mewed, watching Puddlepaw proudly.
Airpaw and Stormpaw were practicing some battle moves close by.
Thawfrost spotted Orchidnight and padded over to her, “Orchidnight! You busy? I was thinking about going down to the river to catch some fish.” He mewed, giving her a smile.

"Oh!" Puddlepaw exclaimed as he saw his mother approach, jumping a bit in the water. "You didn't say both of you would be watching! Now I'm gonna mess up!" Puddlepaw complained, though he tried his best to swim as neatly as he could to not disappoint his mother now.
Brookheart shook his head softly, nudging Paleeyes in return. "Puddlepaw thinks that we're the leaders of the clan all of a sudden." He teased. "How has the hunting been today, love?" He asked Paleeyes, moving to groom between her ears.
Orchidnight turned to look at Thawfrost, her heart fluttering warmly as she responded without missing a beat. "I thought you'd never ask. It's getting hotter by the day, and I'd rather be out in the shade and water than sitting out here...and of course, I always like spending time with you." She admitted, hoping her words were as bold as she wanted them to be. She had thought alot about what she wanted to say, and decided that it was time to admit her feelings. Life could end at any moment, and she was tired of feeling so heartbroken all the time. She wanted to be happy. Standing to her paws, she moved to brush at his side.

Paleeyes smiled encouragingly at her son, “It’s okay to make mistakes, Puddlepaw, just keep trying. You’re doing wonderful.” She mewed before turning back to her mate, “Hunting is going well. It’s nice to be able to do my warrior duties again. I miss being close with the kits, but I also missed going out into the territory.”
“Great! I was getting a bit antsy just sitting around.” Thawfrost mewed, glad she had agreed to go with him. He had been meaning to talk to her about something important, but hadn’t had the courage to do it before.

Puddlepaw felt a bit relieved by his mother’s words, trying not to seem kittish as he chuckled. “Thank you, mam-...er, I mean. Thank you!” He nodded quickly, turning to finish another lap of swimming.
Brookheart nodded lightly in agreement. “Being back to being without an apprentice is strange, but not uncomfortable. I can sleep in a bit more some days now.” He mused, calmly flicking his ear before he looked at his mate. “We could go on patrol together later.”
Orchidnight purred deeply as she padded at his side, her eyes gleaming daringly as she asked. “So. Where are we going? Our usual spot, or did we want to swim some place more secret? Do you think the gorge water is too fast today?”

“I would love that.” Paleeyes purred, nudging him, “It’s been awhile since we’ve been on a patrol together.” She added.
“Sure, we can try for a place that’s a little more secret. I’m not sure about the gorge though, I haven’t been over there yet today.” Thawfrost mewed, padding out of camp.

He’d wait until he returned, and the senior Warrior instead looked over at Stormpaw and Airpaw. “They’re growing up so fast.” Orchidnight purred deeply. “Then let’s go check it out. We can look for some stones or shells too. I want to bring something back for my little sisters.” She decided, thinking of Specklecreek and Ospreystrike fondly. She brushed past some reeds, before she swallowed down her nerves. “Uhm...I also want to tell you something, when we get down there...”

“They are. It feels like they were only so small just a moon ago.” Paleeyes mewed, looking at her other two kits. Airpaw had just managed to pin Stormpaw down with a move her mentor had shown her the day before.
“Hah! I got you!” Airpaw mewed, grinning at her brother, “Told you I could take you down.”
Stormpaw grunted, giving Airpaw an annoyed look, “Only because I got distracted!” He growled, using his back paws to try and push her off of him.
“O-oh, really?” Thawfrost mewed, looking back at Orchidnight, “I actually wanted to talk to you as well.” He said, feeling his pelt warm up, “Come on, let’s hurry.”

“With the mentors they all have, they’re sure to become very skilled Warriors.” Brookheart mewed proudly, knowing that Nightflame’s stern teachings did wonders for Puddlepaw’s hesitations, and that Reedheart’s skills in battle clearly were transferring to Airpaw. He trusted his sister more than anyone, and knew Icepath would teach Stormpaw just fine. “Days like this make me miss my own mentor, and our old clanmates.”
“Oh! Well, that’s convenient. Yeah, let’s go.” Orchidnight exclaimed, her pelt warming as she began to pad faster towards the Windclan border. She could already hear the faint rumble of water from the river, and see where the ground began to slope downwards to the gorge below. She was curious as to what he wanted to say.

Paleeyes chuckled, “You make it sound like we’re old.” She mewed, nudging Brookheart, “But you’re right, I remember being an apprentice myself, and it feels like forever ago.”
Thawfrost paused as they reached the gorge and looked into the river, then looked back at Orchidnight, “Well, what do you think? Can we make it?” He asked, eyeing the water.

Can we make it?” He asked, eyeing the water. “Sometimes I feel old.” Brookheart chuckled, even though he knew he had many moons left in him to continue his duties. “As dark as the times got, surviving Adderclan and seeing the worst and the best of Riverclan prepared me for anything. I just...” He looked almost tiredly at their kits. “I never want them to have to go through that. The fire was bad enough. I wish I could give them peace for the rest of their lives. That I could give you peace.” He looked at Paleeyes then, touching his muzzle to hers. Orchidnight peered down at the water, her eyes narrowing before she began to clamber down the gorge path to the river pebbles below. She flicked her ear and nodded once. “Looks pretty smooth! I don’t see any waves, so it should be ok!...But, just in case, we can swim in that side pool over there.” She pointed to a trapped pool of river water along the pebbled shore. She steeled herself, wanting to finally tell him. “Thawfrost...about what I wanted to tell you...” She trailed off, suddenly nervous.

Paleeyes pressed against him, “Peace would be nice.” She purred, “But I’m sure they’ll have their own battles to fight eventually.”
Thawfrost followed after Orchidnight and lifted his head when she spoke, “Yeah, what is it?” He asked, feeling his heart rate pick up.

He found comfort in Paleeyes’ presence. “Peace means I can spend all my days content with you.” “I...” Orchidnight stammered for a moment, before she swallowed down her fears. Rosefrost had always been fearless when it came to showing how deeply she had loved Phantomspots. She missed her mother’s courage, her loving heart. She refused to let her life’s sacrifice go to waste by never reaching for what she wanted. “I’ve liked you, Thawfrost. For...for many, many moons. Everytime we spend time together, all my worries go away. I feel happy with you. After Scalefur and Nightgaze died, and after...after Mother passed, it was hard to just...feel happy. It still is, but when I’m with you? In those moments, I feel my happiest.” Orchidnight mewed, her eyes wide with admission. “I don’t know if you feel the same way but, I can’t stand to hide it anymore.”

“Hopefully. Speaking of Sunningrocks, I wonder if Earthstar plans on taking them back?” Paleeyes mused, flicking her tail at the thought of ThunderClan having Sunningrocks.
Thawfrost felt a rush of relief at Orchidnight’s confession, “Orchidnight.. that’s exactly what I wanted to talk to you about as well.” He said, looking at her, “I’ve been wanting to ask you something recently, but I wasn’t sure how you felt about me. But now that I know... Orchidnight, would you become my mate?” He asked.

“It’s hard to say. With all that’s happened, Thunderclan might hold onto them more tightly.” Brookheart mewed thoughtfully.
“You do?” Orchidnight exclaimed, before her eyes flickered brightly with joy. “You really want to be my mate? Oh, yes! Yes, I’ll be your mate!” She laughed, turning to rush quickly towards him. She stopped in front or him, before reaching her muzzle out and mewing. “I’m sorry it took so long for me to say anything...”

Kingpaw - Headed to Camp - With Swanflight
He was immediately mad to learn that the molly had been bullied in any way as a kit, feeling happy as well that her brother had stepped in to do something and so gaining a bit more respect for the tom. Moving away from that though he simply nodded as she spoke before deciding to speak himself. "I'm glad that he stood up for you. I'd hate it if you were to ever get hurt. I'd really not know what to do if that happened actually." He gave a light chuckle.
((Well if jules and fire every get on when I'm not around but you are then could you bring up the whole name thing to them for me?))

I'll be the one protecting my brothers and sister now." Swanflight mumbled proudly around the fish, before she purred warmly at Kingpaw's words. "Aww! You're so sweet, Kingpaw. You'd worry about me like that if something ever got me? Well, I'd do the same for you...I don't like thinking about you being out alone." She admitted, feeling her fur warm.

"I always tease Puddlepaw! I tease everybody, just like mama does." Mintkit puffed her chest proudly, glancing back to where Smogstorm was grooming Maskkit, the young Queen's eyes flickering over towards Owlwhisker and Littleshadow with a friendly but watching look. Owlwhisker waved his tail brightly to the Queen, before he snickered down at Mintkit and Littleshadow. "Who knows. Maybe one day you'll become all mushy and moony over a cat in the clan. Then we can tease you." He winked.

I’m glad you said yes.” He mewed, looking at her, “And I’m sorry it took me so long to ask.”

He peered at Stormpaw and Airpaw with interest. “Are you guys gonna make room for me? I bet I could beat you both.” Brookheart purred his agreement, watching over their kits with warm eyes. “They look so happy. As Riverclan should be.” “No need to apologize. I should have told you earlier too.” Orchidnight purred, pressing her muzzle to Thawfrost’s with a giddy sort of delight. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”

Littleshadow smiled and dipped her head towards Smogstorm before returning her gaze to Mintkit, "Owlshadow's right, you could change your mind in the future, and then maybe Maskkit and Puddlepaw will tease you too. It's a cycle of kithood."
