Mouseclaw flattened his ears, growling slightly. "They better not be. What are they going to do with the rats? With their pink furless paws they're defenseless against rat fangs!"

Palepaw blinked. That sounded like a great idea! "Yeah!" He smiled. "I'd love too!" "Where are you going?" Closesky asked in between licks. Duskpaw purred, "Great! Starrylight's waiting for us back at camp. Hopefully Cedarstar will be back with Rustlepaw soon. The prey seems to be returning slowly so we should celebrate." Bumbleskip kept walking before breaking into a run back towards camp.

Fuzzypaw slowly opened her eyes, her jaws stretching wide in a huge yawn. Pulling herself to her paws, she arched her back as her legs trembled beneath her with the stretch. The fluffy apprentice blinked wearily around the clearing, realizing she must have dozed off while grooming herself if her half-washed fur was anything to go by. She hastily smoothed out her pelt as much as her curly and unruly fur would allow before padding toward the nursery, her ears pricked to listen for Cherryvine. She was unsure of how long she had slept for, but it couldn't have been too long considering how sluggish she still felt. Yawning again, she vigorously shook out her pelt in an attempt to wake herself.
She poked her head past the entrance of the cozy den, her blue eyes peering into the gathering shadows inside.
"Hello Snowdance, Stormfury," she mewed softly, not wanting to disturb anyone. "Cherryvine, are you hungry? Or thirsty? Or do you need new bedding? Falcontalon said you probably wouldn't want visitors till the morning, but he also said you'd be tired, so..." Catching herself rambling, Fuzzypaw snapped shut her jaw with a snap. Normally she never noticed (or cared) when she went on and on, but she was unsure of how to behave around a new queen or kittens; after all, Spiderfang had nearly shredded her ears when she'd trod on her tail in the nursery while clearing nests before.

Stormfury flicked his ears at Fuzzypaw, allowing his mate to answer for herself. He could wait until after his mate and kits were fed.

Mouseclaw flattened his ears, growling slightly. "They better not be. What are they going to do with the rats? With their pink furless paws they're defenseless against rat fangs!" “The lizard-brains probably don’t even have the right herbs to treat it. Would serve them right for ruining our chances at prey!” Spiderfang growled, before she peered curiously after one of the monsters pushed the Carrion to the side. “Look. The twolegs are wearing weird pelts over their muzzles. Are they being punished?” She whispered, watching as they moved around Carrionplace.

Cherryvine looked over at Fuzzypaw eyes bleary from resting. "Oh Hello Fuzzypaw. No I am okay right now, we'll clean up the nest at sunrise tomorrow after we have had some time to rest. You can come in and see the kits for a moment though if you would like. It seems they love visitors." she purred quietly, removing her tail from the kits so Fuzzypaw could take a peak at them.

Mouseclaw took a step forward, trying to get a better look. His ears flattened as he took in the strange muzzles. "I don't know, who would be punishing them?" he asked curiously. "Other two-legs?"

Ashrock lifted his head, breaking out of his thoughts at Stonesong's voice. He sighed and laid his head on his paw. "Of course." “Come on, let’s go for a walk.” She suggested. “That will cheer you up I’m sure.” Stonesong watched him, feeling sad for him. He had been stuck in here for moons. Maybe she should say something to Cedarstar...

Snowdance dipped her head to Cherryvine and stood up when Fuzzypaw came in, “I’ll leave you to rest.” She mewed, “Call for me if you need me.” The medicine cat slipped out of the den quietly and started for her own den, planning on getting some rest now.

Thistlestalk’s eyes widened, “Really? Oh well new kits should lift everyone’s mood, especially if they’re healthy! You didn’t hear of any complications did you?” He asked curiously. sorry, I forgot to respond to this one x.x) Poppyflame shook her head, “No, I didn’t hear anything.” She mewed, stretching her paws out as she got comfortable in her nest, “I just overheard Falcontalon talking to Fuzzypaw about it.”

You can come in and see the kits for a moment though if you would like. It seems they love visitors." she purred quietly, removing her tail from the kits so Fuzzypaw could take a peak at them. Fuzzypaw's eyes grew round as Cherryvine invited her in. She tentatively slipped into the den once Snowdance left, taking cautious steps toward the kittens. She looked at them curled against their mother's belly. "Oh...oh wow," she meowed. It seemed as if the normally boisterous young she-cat was in complete awe of the kittens. "Cherryvine...they're so tiny!"

Thistlestalk let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. I wasn't a big fan of Stormfury before, but he's starting to grow on me I think. Going to Windclan with him, and now see him genuinely care about Cherryvine and their kits have shown his better side to the clan. I hope that goes for everyone."
Cherryvine gave the apprentice an amused grin, "Aren't they? Don't worry, they'll be much bigger in just a few days. She leaned down to adjust some of the kits near her belly, "Fuzzypaw, an apprentice from our clan has come to meet all of you." she murmured softly.
Mistkit squeaked, a high pitched noise cutting through the relative calm of the nursery.
Hailkit stirred at his sister's squeal but did not make a sound.

A shy purr escaped Fuzzypaw and she angled her ears toward Mistkit. "They're sure loud! I like them." she turned her attention back to the queen. "They're really great, Cherryvine. And you too, Stormfury." She stood and backed toward the entrance of the nursery. "Don't worry little tadpoles! I'll teach you all about being cool cats. But I mean, you guys are ShadowClan, so you'll be pretty cool already no doubt." Fuzzypaw dipped her head to the two warriors. "I'll let you rest! Just bother one of us apprentices if you need anything okay?" With that, she turned and bounced out of the nursery, feeling light after seeing the newest warriors of the Clan.

Stormfury let out a small chuckle as Fuzzypaw left the nursery. "Do ShadowClan apprentices always have this much energy?" He asked.
Pinekit and Featherkit slept through the whole ordeal, uninterested.

Cherryvine waved her tail to Fuzzypaw as she exited before turning to answer Stormfury's question. "Are Windclan apprentices not the same? Didn't you and your siblings get in a lot of trouble? I know Lightcloud and Vinemask did. Pinestep was also too grumpy to play with us though."
(I just realized Cherry's brother's name was Pine asdlkfjasldfj I completely forgot.)

Stormfury shrugged, too embarrassed to admit that he had been the grumpy, anti-social kit. "They do I suppose, but for the most part WindClan cat's prefer to stay out of dens like the nursery. You think you want to get out of the nursery bad, imagine if you had grown up sleeping under the stars every night and now were all cooped up."
((welp haha oh well))

Bumbleskip kept walking before breaking into a run back towards camp. "That sounds great." Palepaw smiled at his sister and tested his weight on his back paw. There was mild pain, but nothing he couldn't handle. "Uh...why don't we... not tell the clan about this?" Closesky flattened his ears. I'm too old for this. With a sigh of annoyance, he shot after the younger tom.

“I guess so...no matter what, I’ll have your back.” Snakesong mewed, hoping that her confidence reached her voice as she looked at her mate. “Promise me that you’ll be here no matter what? I...I couldn’t do this without you...” Rustlepaw got back to scenting and exploring, finding wonder from the smallest stone to the bark of each tree. Some had that fresh scent, and others were completely sour with ash...dead, in a desolate way that hurt her heart. She shook her head, scolding herself. Now was not a time to be mourning some trees. Instead, she found herself exploring something that felt like the other trees, but the scent was...almost faded. The bark beneath her paws felt smoother, though that was interrupted by divots in the wood. Like...claw marks. She tilted her head as she unknowingly pawed at the Burnt Sycamore. “This feels strange. I think...uhm, I think cats sharpened their claws on this one.” "I'll always be by your side, Snakesong. You can count on that." Smokestorm purred. "A tom named Nightshade used to claw the Burnt Sycamore every time he won a spar or battle." Cedarstar repeated his father's words. Nightshade had been an apprentice Closesky was proud of. "Other apprentices sharpen their claws on it for luck. Yet, no matter how battered, clawed, or scorched the Burnt Sycamore gets, it remains standing. It may be only a stump of the great tree it once was, but it refuses to yield even then."

((welp haha oh well)) Cherryvine shivered at the thought, "What about leaf-bare, isn't it terribly cold? It must be nice to see the stars all the time, but I don't think I would like sleeping out so exposed like that. Do you mind sleeping in the den here?"

Duskpaw giggled, "Alright, just a secret between the three of us then. But don't think we won't tease you about it later." she mewed, lightly cuffing around his ear. "Now let's get going! Mother's waiting for us."
Bumbleskip panted hard as he raced back to camp, entering he looked around frantically for somewhere to hide, only to be met face first with a furious looking Hazelblaze.
Hazelblaze was seething as she stomped over to her father. "Cherryvine had her kits and you weren't even here!"
Bumbleskip blinked, looking over towards the nursery dazed. "Oh."

Stormfury shrugged. "In leaf-bare we mostly huddle together for warmth, or if it's too bad we'll go into a den of sorts." He didn't want to reference the tunnels that spanned under the WindClan territory. "And sleeping in dens all the time isn't too bad." he said after a moment. "Though it's much worse when you're here instead of with me."

And here cats have called me stern.” Spiderfang blinked with a twinge of unease and disgust. She watched the muzzled twolegs rummage through Crowfood, or clamber into a monster’s belly. She shook her head then, sighing. “Well, there goes our hunting...though, I still am wondering what exactly happened. Goldberry said it was unlike anything he’d ever seen. He said the ground shook, and it burst with light and smoke. What could that possibly be?”

((Hey Blazer! Wanna RP?)
Hollyvine trotted through the camp and shook out her black fur. It was weird not needing a mentor to leave the camp, but Hollyvine was generally enjoying the new freedom that came with it. She sat down in a sun spot to groom.
Oakfall yawned as he stepped out of the warriors den and stretched a big stretch. He wasn't sleeping well lately. He was so accustomed to the apprentices den that the crowded warrior's den was a big change. He was glad that at least his littermates had moved with him so he wasn't the only odd cat out.

I'm sorry you have to be alone, if it was up to me I'd have you moved in here with me in a heartbeat." she teased, nuzzling against him.

Mouseclaw shook his head with a frown. "I honestly have no clue. The medicine cats said that Starclan had nothing to do with it, so perhaps the twolegs have their own form of Starclan? Perhaps they were being punished by them." He sighed, turning back to his mate "Do you want to go hunting somewhere else? This place is making me uneasy."

I’m guessing the vigil tired you out, huh?” She asked. “Hollyvine seems pretty content, but you’ve been off lately. If this is still about the last gathering, you aren’t to blame for defending our clan.”

After a long moment, Spiderfang nodded. “Yes. We’ll go elsewhere, and report this to Cedarstar once we get back. So far they seem to be just in Carrionplace. Let’s hope they don’t go any further.” She decided, letting him take the lead.

(Hiya Jules!) Lionscorch flicked his tail, his eyes glimmering with a sad sort of pride as he noticed Pearlkit playing around with Falcontalon and Songbreeze. He looked at his mate for a long time before padding towards her. “How are you feeling?” He asked lightly. Cardinalblaze sat guard at the camp entrance, though he glanced back towards the Warrior’s den, hoping to see if Raccoonmask was up and about. Goldberry groomed his fur, pressed close to Swirlheart as he sighed softly. “Honeypaw and Crystalpaw have come leaps and bounds in their training...but I worry for Coalpaw. Ashrock is still not out of the medicine den. As much as I ached for what happened to Coalpaw and what Ashrock did...I suppose I have no right to cast any kind of judgement on any cat, do I?” He asked.
