“It could be… maybe one of the cattail plants opened, and a seed passed your nose.” Iciclestep tried to rationalize, though it was clear that the prospect of Snowflower getting sick was a concerning thought to the tom. Many cats in the Clans had died of Greencough before. The idea of Snowflower ever getting that sick? It made his body freeze with disdain. ”That could be,” she mused. Then sensing his tension she reached out and nudged his cheek with her muzzle. “I’ll get help if I keep sneezing,” she promised. “Quietpaw’s cleared up little sicknesses before, I’m sure he can handle it.” “Quietpaw’s got a good head on his shoulders. I always thought he’d be an ideal medicine cat.” Iciclestep nodded, having watched the apprentice grow from kithood, how composed, straightforward, and fast-learning he was. Iciclestep respected him more than most cats. He nodded. “I trust that you’ll get help if needed, and that he can help you. I’ll bring you anything you need, too.” He promised. |

Able to hear the faint nervousness in the tom’s voice, Ospreystrike’s eyes softened a bit, and she assured. “We’ll find the perfect one. And even if we didn’t, Stonegaze has a kind heart. He’d appreciate the effort by itself, let alone if the shell is perfect.” She padded towards the tom, looking down for more shells. he loosened up, "thanks, i think i see a good one though!" he fished out a light teal shell with purple accents."i think this one's flawless!" he said, nudging it to ospreystrike. “Oh wow! That is flawless!” Ospreystrike admired the spotless shell with a blink of admiration. Stonegaze would love this one! She mewed quickly. “Let’s make sure we’re super careful with it then. Like it’s a newborn kit, got it? Carry it with love!” She teased. |

Snowflower purred with amusement. “Oh maybe we’ll make a medicine cat out of you yet!” She playfully tapped him with her tail. Ahead, she caught sight of a piece of cattail fluff caught along a tuft of grass, and watched seeds lift in the air toward them. A familiar tickle scratched her nose and she let out another dainty sneeze. With a sniff wistful eyes on the cold river, she said miserably, “Maybe we should leave this area for now.” |

Grumbling at the interruption to their time together, he stood up and offered. “Maybe we can have better luck out near the Windclan border. It’s mostly rocky out there instead of full of these pesky cattails.” |

Riverclan is the best clan and no one can tell me otherwise. ( Moonblazer ) "Orwarchidnwight" Smallkit tried it out, "Hmm hward," she stated. She looked around the camp some more as she sounded out some other words Orchidnight had said, " Nworsury, Quleen, hmm.." Smallkit looked back at foxripple to see if his approving face was watching her (Oh my goddness I can imagine Smallkit looking directly backwards staring upsidedown at foxripple and that thought just made my day) “We can show you.” Foxripple offered, looking down at Smallkit with humor as he eyed her while she looked up at him, likely seeing him upside down. He laughed, eyes bright as he nodded towards the nursery. “You can meet the other kits. Make some friends. Besides, we gotta wait until Earthstar gets back to see how it’s going to go.” He padded towards the nursery, tail waving for Smallkit to guide her with him. ( Moonblazer) Smallkit turned towords Foxripple and trotted up to him as she tried out the new name, "Ewarthstwar! Fwrends!" she giggled happy to learn all these words, and happy she was safe. |

Maybe we can find a warm rock or two to rest on,” she mused, thinking of sunningrocks as she said it. The afternoon sun was warm on her pelt, and she bet they had a few nice hours left in the day. |

Best get used to it, if you plan to woo my brother. We’re a package deal, me and my older siblings.” Ospreystrike teased, padding after Rippleshine with a bright gaze of humor. |

I always like hearing the waterfalls in the gorge too.” Iciclestep mewed, stretching deeply before starting towards the direction of the Windclan border. Hopefully, they’d find no more prey-mauler fur. |

Sheeppaw purred happily as Smallkit tottered after Foxripple and Orchidnight. He glanced around for Marshpaw, but didn't see the other tom anywhere. Shrugging, he collected their minnows and laid them on the fresh-kill pile.

Slipping into the nursery, Foxripple greeted Smogstorm with a leisurely wave of his tail. Looking at Smallkit, he mewed. "Minnowtail, Smogstorm, and Littleshadow are the other Queens in the Clan. There's alot of kits with different names, but we'll take that slowly. Everyone, please say hi to Smallkit!" "Hi Smallkit!" Owlwhisker exclaimed, the new father looking at Smallkit with kind blue eyes as he stayed pressed to Littleshadow's side. Their newborn kits were feeding, and the saimese tom looked over the moon. "You are just the cutest!" "Hello, little one." Smogstorm greeted gently, the she-cat sitting on her dead leg as she kept her tail wrapped around Orchidnight's kits. Finkit seemed eager to meet the new kit, though Rosekit seemed to just eye Smallkit curiously, his eyes wide with surprise. |

Littleshadow nodded sleepily to the little kit, "Welcome." she mewed with a smile. Her tail wrapping closer to their newborn kits.
Songkit and Viperkit stared at the new kit with interest. Songkit walked forward with her chest puffed, "I'm Songkit, this is my brother Viperkit. Our other brother Graykit is over there sleeping. We're the oldest kits in the nursery." she boasted.

Smallkit recited all the names with intrest, "She looked at all them and though, Wow! so many!! She waddled around the den and looked at each cat, " I is smawlkwit" She annoced proudly, "and wiverclan is za bwest!" She looked at the others, hoping to see approvel in their eyes.

Hopefully, they’d find no more prey-mauler fur. Snowflower stepped side by side with him through the territory. The recent rain had left a lot of the paths slippery, and it took some time to traverse without getting muddy. She didn’t mind it, though. Traveling with him felt like an adventure. A bird sang overhead, and fluttered down to the marshy floor. Her tail twitched as she spotted it, and she stilled. Even if birds weren’t exactly popular fresh-kill in the clan, the challenge of the hunt appealed to her. |

He was a bit enamored to see how Snowflower might go about catching a bird. She already looked lovely on the rain-soaked path, and her quick grace and stance always impressed the tom. |

Snowflower took a few stalking steps forward. Hunting on land was far different than the water. In the river, it was more a question of speed and accuracy than a question of a slow, silent approach. She drew forward, step by step, heart pounding in her throat until suddenly - she launched forward. Feeling feathers under her paws, she gave the creature a swift bite, and turned to face Iciclestep. Pride beamed across her face as she dropped the bird and covered it with a spattering of dirt to retrieve later. Maybe her paws had been a little too wide and her landing a little too hard, but all in all it had been one of her better catches, and she was glad he had been there to see it. |

Moonriver gulped down hungrily, turning her gaze to the nursery. "What do you think their names would be?" Birchtail finished her last scrap of fish and wondered aloud, “I bet… they chose less traditional names. Like nothing to do with water. Maybe names that are more like what they look like?” She glanced toward the den, that Foxripple had just disappeared into with the new kit. “Maybe Foxripple can tell us when he comes back out.” Birchtail kept one eye on the camp entrance as she waited, a little worried that no one had replaced him as guard yet. |

He eyed the prey with interest. “You could be mistaken for a Skyclan cat with bird-catching skills like that. This’ll make a good meal for one of the Queens.” |

"Yea, they probably did." Moonriver followed Birchtail's worried gaze. "What's troubling you?" Birchtail flicked her tail a couple times. “Just feeling a little nervous that no one’s at the camp entrance. I know Foxripple will go back soon, but with the threat of the prey-maulers, I just want to be careful.” She thought of her elderly kin and the new kits and bit back a wave of nervousness. Birchtail tried to add some lightness back to her voice. “I bet the other kits are all clambering to get a look at their new denmates.” |

(Heyo)
Earthstar led the patrol back into camp and shook his pelt free of the rain. The effort was futile, however, as rain continued to fall. He intended on going to the medicine cat den to check on Alder and Quietpaw, but the commotion outside of the nursery had him pause. "What's going on?" he asked, making his way to the den.
Winterfrost greeted the leader with a nod as he passed by. "It appears Foxripple found a kit in our territory. You may want to see the poor thing for yourself." she reported, casting a concerned gaze toward the nursery.

Silverpaw woke up, tired after all the training in the dark forest. Ambershade's helping me, I should be grateful. One day I be stronger than Lilystream and Riverclan combined! And wouldn't that impress Flareclaw? She thought. Silverpaw stood and walked out of the apprentice's den, wondering what the commotion outside was.
