The tom frowned. "What about... FlashClan?" He leaned forward slightly, trying to guess Sweetpaw's sincerity from her tone. He wasn't used to cats being tolerant of them, or even kind. At best, they usually just made them leave, sometimes even letting them keep their prey. Sweetpaw didn't seem have any inclination to hurt them, but she had said there were other cats as well. Those he was more concerned about.

(Good night dear! Have a good nights sleep!)
"Well," she paused, thinking for a moment. "Our leader, his name is Ravenstar, is a stickler for the rules, and one of the rules is we can't leave any kits to fend for themselves, clan cat or otherwise. Sure he'd be surprised but I don't think he'd caste you out or attack you two," she mewed, mentally building her case to the leader. 'Sure, 'technically' the code said any kit in danger, but it was light out, no cat could tell if they had a glow in the day time, and what if they did have one? They would be offered a home.

(Morning everyone! Sorry! Went and saw Rogue One again last night!
I will add the kits now! And I don't know where Tinypaw is with Blizzardwing...)
Fieldgrass paused as he no longer heard Sweetpaw behind him. He frowned with an anxious twitch of his tail. Did something happen to the apprentice? Was she injured? Brooktail would kill him if Sweetpaw had been hurt. He immediately began retracing his pawsteps. "Sweetpaw? Sweetpaw!" He called out worriedly.
Ravenstar watched the camp. He kept one eye on the nursery. Coldfire had gone into kitting earlier that day. He was worried that something had happened to her or the kits. It would be hard for her if she lost one.

Sweetpaw? Ravenstar? Those are all weird names, the little tom thought, but outwardly he just let out a small sigh. "We'll move on after we... finish our squirrel, if that's not a p-p-problem then," he replied, not realizing what Sweetpaw was offering- he assumed she just meant that they wouldn't be attacked. "S-sorry for the, um, trouble."
Then he thought he heard someone calling out in the forest and pricked his ears, turning his head in the direction of the noise. "I think someone is... calling for you, S-Sweetpaw."

"Um..." the tom replied uncertainly. He didn't know Sweetpaw, and he knew even less about the rest of "FlashClan." How could he even begin to trust them? He couldn't go without his sister's consent either, and he wasn't really sure how to relay the information to her. He tensed as Sweetpaw called for the other cat, listening for his approach.

"I mean, you don't have to, if you don't really want to. It's just that these woods get pretty dangerous, there's twolegs here at night, and I heard there was one spotted a couple of days ago. That's why we stay together, for safety, plus it's nice not being alone," the calico gave a shrug, not wanting to scare the two off. If they wanted to leave no one was stopping them.
Wolfkits breathing stilled for a moment, his tiny flank not showing any movement. Coldfire was unaware, the she cat resting, only stirring when one of the others squirmed.

Crowpaw stared at the kit for a heartbeat, hoping the pause was just a result of his irregular breathing. When he didn't take another breath after three heartbeats, Crowpaw quickly patted him on the back, hoping it would startle him into breathing. The medicine cat apprentice had to force his pelt not to bristle with fear that there was something very wrong with the kit, and hoped he had just stopped for a moment- that happened sometimes with newborns, and they just had to be "reminded" to breathe. It usually wasn't a problem, but with Wolfkit, Crowpaw feared it might be.
----------
The tom looked at his sister, who stared at him with wide eyes, hoping he would let her know what was happening. He thought for a moment, trying to figure out how to convey it to her. He gestured at Sweetpaw, then pressed his cheek to his sister's and let out a short paw. She's nice. Then he flicked her shoulder with his tail, again gesturing to Sweetpaw. Follow. The she-cat watched, then nodded in understanding. She looked at Sweetpaw, then back at her brother, and shrugged again. Why not?
The tom nodded, then looked at Sweetpaw. "Um... s-she says... sure, she will... go."

"Well, we wouldn't want to... imp-pose," the tom replied, shuffling his paws. It sounded hectic- how many cats were there in this "FlashClan" anyways? From what Sweetpaw said, it sounded like a lot.
Crowpaw let out a relieved sigh, moving back to where he had been to continue his vigil. It was a good thing he had offered to stick around- he wasn't sure what would have happened if he hadn't been there. Maybe Wolfkit would've begun breathing on his own again, but maybe not. The medicine cat apprentice glanced out of the entrance to the den, trying to gauge how much time had passed by the light.

"Nothing, everything is fine," Crowpaw replied softly, not wanting to wake or startle the kits.
"I-if you say so," the kit replied, shrugging. "Where is the other c-cat?" he then asked, listening around for the cat he had heard approaching earlier.

(Wait? Isn't the tom kit blind, Di? Or did you change that?
I'm back from work, BTW!)
Fieldgrass bounded through and twiggy branches towards Sweetpaw. He turned the corner and gasped. Sweetpaw was sitting next to two small kits. He frowned heavily. "You found kits?"
Nightkit nuzzled closer to his mother. However, he also snuggled closer to his littlest brother. It wasn't a conscious thought or action. All he knew was his mother, milk, and his siblings.

"Fieldgrass! Uh, yeah, they where under this bush, I smelt blood and," she shrugged, gesturing to the small wound on the blind kits shoulder with a small white paw.
---
Coldfire blinked groggily, watching Nightkit squirm closer to his brother. She smiled momentarily before scooting him away from Wolfkit and closer to Ashkit, not wanting to take any chances that night. Perhaps when she was awake, but not when she was groggy and the much larger kit could squish the fragile grey scrap of fur.

(oh yeah, I realize now that I had put that he "looked" at his sister. That's sort of... misleading, I guess. When I say that he "looks" at anything, since he's blind it really just means that he turned his head in that direction. So basically, he instinctively turned his attention towards his sister, then back to Sweetpaw, even though he couldn't actually see either. For the most part I've tried to avoid any wording that implies that he can see them, but I guess it slips by me now and then. Sorry.)
Ashkit let out a surprised squeak as Nightkit was pushed against him, flailing his paws and short kit-tail for a moment to re-adjust himself into a more comfortable position before snuggling against Coldfire again and slipping back into a deep sleep.
Both kits shrank back from the new tom; the tom when he heard him, the she-cat when she saw him. The tom listened closely to what the older cat was saying, almost surprised when Sweetpaw mentioned blood. Now that he was thinking about it, his wound stung a little, but for the most part he had forgotten about it. He was used to be scratched and bitten, and at this point, unless the wound was infected, it mostly just faded to the background of his mind.

"N-no, don't be scared, you two, this is Fieldgrass, he's a good guy," She tried, looking at the warrior before back to the two kits. She quickly figured out that they didn't like others coming at them quickly, she felt as if she had to walk around the two as if they where prey, making her feel a little creepy. She just wanted them to feel safe, and she couldn't help but want to protect them, even though she got the feeling that they wouldn't want to do that.

The tom forced his pelt to flatten, laying his tail across his sister's shoulders to calm her as well. He strained his ears, trying to glean as much as he could from what he could hear of the cat. He tried to gauge his size from the way his pawsteps sounded, and how the foliage sounded as he moved through it.
The she-cat, meanwhile, just stared, once again not quite sure what was going on.

(XD Just wondering!
Sweet, do you want to continue with Blizzardwing and Tinypaw?)
Nightkit squeaked in reply to his brother's flailing before nursing from his mother again. His folded ears twitched a bit but he otherwise remained focused.
Fieldgrass backed up a bit. He guess the half-starved and dirty were on their own. "It's ok. It's ok," he purred softly. "We just want to help. We want to take you back to our camp and have our medicine cat look over you. Make sure you both are ok."

(I love RPing these kits!
I think Tinypaw was following Blizzardwing to get something for Coldfire.)
Nightkit, once again unconsciously, sensed something. His tail flicked at the tip and moved to help pull Wolfkit closer to them. He yawned lightly before dozing off.

(can't wait til they open their eyes in a couple days and the mischief starts > )
"M-medicine cat?" the tom asked, tilting his head. The she-cat blinked as Sweetpaw stood, wondering if they were about to follow her and the new cat.

(MWHAHAHAHA!!)
Fieldgrass's ears twitched nervously. "Yes. It is a cat that takes care of others. She will look you over and heal you if you are hurt. She will also put herbs on your shoulder to make sure you don't get sick from it." He said slowly. That sandy tom wanted to make sure that the tom-kit understood what he meant. He seemed bright but was unsure of their terminology.

The little tom wasn't really sure how he felt about an unknown she-cat putting plants on him, but he figured he could always back out of that part once they got to... wherever they were going. "Um... okay, maybe." He had never really gotten sick from his wounds before, so he wasn't sure why he would now. Maybe it was something about the animals here? He didn't know.
The she-kit shuffled her paws, not sure what they were talking about and antsy to get going. That, at least, she could understand. Actions yes, but not words.

Fieldgrass nodded again. "Yes. If you come with us, you will be safe. We, the clan, will help take care of you and train you to take care of yourselves. Then you can help others too."

It sounded like they were being invited to join this "Clan." He wasn't really sure how he felt about that. Being trained.... it sounded like the tom thought he couldn't get by by himself. Or, well, he and his sister couldn't, with each others help. Granted, they weren't exactly thriving, but all things considered they did just fine. Still, it might not hurt to check out the Clan, see what it was all about. Even if not for him, maybe things would be better for his sister.
"M-maybe," the tom replied after a moment. "We'll... see."

Fieldgrass's eyes darted between the two kits. He frowned as he looked them over. It appeared that the tom-kit was blind. That was no issue. He had heard of blind cats thriving before with groups. It was his sister that worried him. She was either mute or deaf. And he didn't know how well she would adapt to clan life. He nodded at the kit. "Good. We will take you back to camp now along with your squirrel. Don't worry! You can eat it once you are safe."

"I think she may be deaf," Sweetpaw murmured quietly to Fieldgrass. To her that was no problem- it was clear that the kit was thriving, it shouldn't be a problem, not in her eyes at least. "The medicine cat is someone who can fix up that scratch on your shoulder," She explained, before turning around. "C'mon, lets get back to camp!"
"Why don't you choose where we go, Tinypaw?" Blizzardwing asked, the white tom letting out a purr, trying to put his sister out of his mind. The white tom flicked his tail in affection.

The tom nodded, picking up the squirrel so that he could follow the cats to... camp? Is that what this "Fieldgrass" had called it? Again, he thought, What weird names. His sister watched, excited but also trepidatious to get going. Where would they be taken? What were these strange cats doing? She was nervous, but if her brother trusted them, she did too.
