Duskhawk gave a nod to Swanflight before he made his way into the elder's den, mewing out a greeting as he did. "Hello. We brought a fish just in case the three of you haven't eaten yet." He said, stepping aside to let Swanflight into the den as well. Blackmask made quick work of fishing out the minnows from the water, tossing them out onto the shore and quickly killing them and adding them to the growing pile of small fish. "This should be plenty." He said, looking back at Bubblebrook with a flick of his ear. "The river has been plentiful this season, it's hard to believe that leafbare has only just ended." he commented. Petalcreek watched as Coppersky tried to catch a fish and wandered over to him, letting out a gentle mew, "Try this. Instead of looking everywhere at once, find a focal point on the water." She offered, lifting a paw and placing it just above the water to indicate where he should look. "Once you see that flash of scales at that point, that's when you should strike." Swanflight followed Duskhawk into the elder's den, dipping her head to Slatefur, Smokestream, and Sagesight. She nodded. "Best fish on the pile, too. Duskhawk and I checked it to make sure." She teased, her voice kind and humored as she sat down. "I know, right? It's got to mean we're doing something right, to be getting this much prey." Bubblebrook bragged, her eyes bright as she thought of how much there was to eat. She could be a little gluttonous herself, so it was nice to always have a full belly. She purred. "Perfect too that we'll have more than enough to feed all the kits too." |

"Scwary" Smallkit agreed nevously, her eyes had become slits and her tail was bushed to twice the normal size, which was big due to her fluffyness, "Scwary.." she muttered saddly. "Yeah... sometimes sleeping gets scary. I saw a big spider when I was asleep once." Rosekit squeaked, before he shuffled closer to Smallkit and pressed to her side. "I can be here, so the scary thing can go away." He offered. (lol why am I now thinking Smallkit will either think of Rosekit as a brother or have a huge crush on him XD) Smallkit huddled closer, "Yes," she agreed, "Scwary go and leave," Smallkit nodded and felt relaxed as she felt the warmth of another cat's pelt, "Who is you?" she asked curiously. |

(XD Either one works, your preference!) Rosekit looked curiously at Smallkit before he seemed to understand her question. "Oh! I'm Rosekit. Orchidnight is my mama." He looked up at the pelt of the sleeping Queen that curled around them, keeping them warm. He blinked at her. "Mama said your name's Smallkit." |

"Yea... well, we should do that right now!" Moonriver brushed against Birchtail as she hurried out of the nursery, turning her head and blinking at the smallest, newest arrival. What's her name? Sightkit? Sunkit? Oh, Smallkit!. "We should make one for Smallkit too. She's tiny!" Moonriver whisper- shouted.

They're the oldest. And then Snailkit is like you! She came here and lived with us one day!" He explained. "Hazelkit's momma went to Starclan, so she's staying with Smogstorm. And uh..." He blinked over at Littleshadow and her kits. "I dunno those names. Cause they're new kits!" |

Foxstar26)) Foxripple returned to his station at the camp entrance, settling back down to get back into his guard duties. He kept thinking about Smallkit though, and the poor tomkit who didn't make it, buried now by the riverside. He glanced back at the nursery, heart aching as he could see Graykit and her siblings with Minnowtail. In his mind, he could only think about the cat she was named after, and he inwardly wondered if Graysplash had somehow sent Smallkit here. He forced himself to push the thought away, before the pain made it impossible to focus. Instead, he sought his eyes after Minkstep, hoping to see her and just be able to talk to her.

Minkstep was trying to wrangle some reeds. They were a little too big and she was having a hard time weaving them into the warriors den. She hissed in annoyance and kicked it aside. “Starclan!” She grumbled in annoyance.

She hissed in annoyance and kicked it aside. “Starclan!” She grumbled in annoyance. Foxripple caught sight of Minkstep, watching her struggle with the reeds. He felt himself chuckle, though inwardly he did feel bad for her plight. While he couldn’t leave his post again, he did call out to her. “You’re pulling from the ends of the reeds, Minkstep, try pulling them from closer to where they touch eachother, in their middles. Might make it easier for you.” He offered, leisurely and smooth. |

Minkstep lifted her head when she heard her name. She glowered lightly before using his suggestion to fix it. She grumbled before moving away when done. “Thanks.” She said. “Though don’t let your suggestion go to your head.”

”They aren’t very smart creatures,” she agreed. Annoyance crept down her spine, fluffing her fur. Even prey would’ve noticed them by now. She paused as the creature began scratching with the stick. What was the point in carrying a stick all the way out here, so far from the twoleg nests? A loud bird call caught the twoleg’s attention, and he looked away from the bark, up toward the sound. As his arm shifted, she caught sight of dark streaks scrawled across the bark. “D’you see that?” She whispered. “Is… is he making marks with that stick?” Iciclestep whispered, transfixed on what he was seeing. He looked at Snowflower for a second, before he looked closer at the small stick. It was the brightest stick he had ever seen, nearly a glowing yellow. No tree he had ever seen had branches or twigs like that. He whispered. “Maybe he’s making markings to show other twolegs back at his nest. Have you ever seen a stick like that?” ”Never,” she sniffed. “Must be some sort of twoleg plant. “They’re so strange, if he wanted to show other twolegs, why wouldn’t he just take the rock?” Her attention flicked to the rock again. Maybe there was something important about it, if the twolegs were interested in it. Or it was just a rock and the twoleg was just acting like a bird, pecking at the closest shiny rock. |

Smokestream’s ears pricked at the sound of ‘best fish on the pile.’ She sniffed the air and finding an appealing scent, purred, “Don’t mind if we do.”
Slatefur blinked warmly at the warriors. “What’s brought all of you this way? Awfully nice of you to bring us something.”

Iciclestep nodded thoughtfully at Snowflower’s words, enraptured by this odd twoleg and its markings on its scrap of bark. He murmured. “Maybe the twoleg he wanted to show it to sent him on patrol, and now he’s looking for things. I don’t like how far out he is. Twolegs never go this far out here, they always stay out in no-cat’s land.” |

Duskhawk dipped his head to the elder's before he spoke, "Just thought we would check in on you and make sure you've gotten some prey." He mewed, the usual gruffness in his voice replaced by a respectful tone he normally reserved for the elder's, Earthstar and Diamondheart.
"Should we head back now then?" Blackmask asked, looking back at Bubblebrook from where he had been gathering up the minnows into two separate piles for the two of them to carry. "I think we've got more than enough for the two of us to carry."
Seakit snuggled close into Orchidnight's fur, still feeling a bit unsure about the new kit in their nest. Pearkit sat beside her and batted at a loose piece of moss, not really caring about having a new addition sleeping beside them.

She looked around the den slowly, wondering what kinds of cats and stories had filled this den. She wondered if she would make it that far, to one day be in here. “Mm. Good enough. We can go back.” Bubblebrook hummed as she inspected the pile of minnows they had caught. She looked up at Blackmask, her eyes sparkling and warm. “We make a pretty good team, yeah?” |

"Bai bai," Smallkit said before curling back up to take another nap, alas, this nap, brouught dreams. Smallkit was cheerfully playing with her brother, when all of a sudden a huge wave of water washed them up- She saw her mother, struggling before going under then resurfacing, she twitched in her sleep, her mother came swimming up to her and tried to bring her kits above the water, but then her brother lost his grip, she stared down in horror as she tried to grab him but fell with him. She suddenly bolted awake. When Smallkit fell asleep, Earthstar sighed lightly. "She must be exhausted from her journey here." he mewed quietly, feeling a shadow fall over him. Though RiverClan was doing well, he suspected that it was not the case in the other Clans. How much longer will we enjoy this prosperity? He knew that peace never lasted. Turning to leave the nursery, he mewed, "I believe I need to welcome her into the Clan... and make some room for her in here." |

I certainly remember how fun it was just playing with Snowflower.” |

If the twolegs were to encroach on their territory, it would be bad news for the clan. |

"We both did a pretty good job here." |

He hasn’t called out once for his patrol.” Iciclestep rumbled softly, before he tensed. Finally, the twoleg seemed to be moving back towards the border, stepping over it and out onto what looked like a trodden down path through the river grasses. |

She batted her eyes, shaking water from her thick coat as she slipped out of the river and back onto the bank. Strolling past him and close enough that her white fur brushed past his, she asked. “It was you who did most of the catching, and impressively too. I’ll have to make you my new go-to hunting partner.” She decided. |

"What? No!" Blackmask huffed, bending down to start gathering up his pile of minnows. He frowned lightly, his tail twitching being the only sign of his embarrassment, "And I wouldn't have been able to catch them if you hadn't led them over to me and blocked their escape. So it was both of us who caught them." He said with a sigh.

"If you want me to take that credit so badly, then I guess I can only accept." She turned to help him carry some of the minnows, speaking as they worked. "It's nice to be invited on hunts like this. It makes me feel special, you know?" She admitted, shameless in her enjoyment of attention. |

Blackmask sighed, but didn't feel annoyed with Bubblebrook's teasing. The she-cat was one of the few cats in the Clan who he didn't seem to mind or annoy him. "Well, I guess I'll keep that in mind when I'm looking for someone to go hunting with me next time." He mumbled around the minnows, finally gathering up the last one. Giving a flick of his tail, he turned and set a brisk pace towards the camp.
