Squirrel stared up at the tree, her eyes wide as she took it in. She sniffed the root, and recognized the smell of its sap from the faint scent that tinged the air.

(Glad to have ya back. We're just kinda chilling in the snow atm)
Ember purred and picked Squirrel up once again. "Alright, back to the den before you freeze." She strolled back home, paws crunching through the snow, and placed the kit back on the earthy floor next to her siblings. She then settled down in front of her and began to give Squirrel a bath to warm her up, tongue rasping against her soft grey fur.

As she was carried back, Squirrel realized how tired she was from so much excitement. Once she was back in the safety of the den, she began to feel quite drowsy. She was still curious, but she was too sleepy to explore anymore. As Ember began licking her warm, she curled up next to her littermates, eyes closing slowly.

Crow had been out that morning hunting, and he returned a while later with two small mice and a sparrow hanging from his jaws. It wasn't much- certainly not enough to feed the entire group- but he hoped it would at least be enough to hold over those who were the hungriest, as well as keep Ember's milk coming. He noticed that there was a hole dug in the snow straight to the ground, but wasn't sure why. He pawed at it curiously, but didn't stop for long and proceeded into the burrow. He dropped the fresh-kill next to the entrance and looked around the den at the still-sleeping cats. He didn't want to wake them. Rinako and Ember, however, seemed to be awake. He grabbed the sparrow and padded over to the nest, dropping it by Ember.
"I went hunting," he meowed, sitting next to the nest and watching the kits sleep. He then glanced at Rinako. "If you're starving, you can eat, but I hope you'll give hunting a try as well." He paused, then added: "I can teach you, if you need to learn."

Rinako nodded at Crow. "I suppose that would be wise. It is quite necessary."

Crow nodded as well. While he wasn't too keen on letting even more strangers stay with them, Rinako seemed mild-mannered and pleasant enough, and his willingness to learn won Crow over a bit more as well.
"Alright. You can eat first if you like, since no one else seems to be awake yet and prey is best when it's still warm. And we'll ideally be returning with more anyways," he meowed, flicking his tail towards the mouse and sparrow that waited by the entrance to the den.

"Ah, thank you." Ember mewed and dug into the sparrow. That was quite nice of Crow to go hunting for them, Ember thought. She watched the exchange between the two toms. Good thing Rinako will learn how to hunt; she still found it silly that he'd never done it before.

"Alright." Rinako replied simply, dipping his head at Crow. He crouched over the mouse to eat. "So exactly how many mouths will need to be fed?" he asked no one in particular.

Crow narrowed his eyes, thinking. "Well, most of the cats here are able to hunt for themselves, so it's not a matter of life and death if we can't get enough prey for them all. Still, catching as much as we can while we're out will save time and effort for everyone. Of course, prey is scarce, so even if everyone hunts it's entirely possible one or two cats might have to go without eating today, unfortunately. Altogether, though, I believe there is... ten of us, not counting the kits."

" I think that Queens should not have to hunt. Kits are a heavy work and to also hunt is very hard " He huffs his chest.

Post by Aphelyon on Mar 21, 2017 14:51:31 GMT -5
Crow swiveled his ear towards the young tom, raising one eyebrow at him. "I never suggested queens should have to hunt for themselves. After all, I've been feeding Ember while she's been here caring for the kits. I just said most of the cats here can hunt if need be. Because most of them can."

" Alright. I was jut suggesting we make it a small rule or something " He shrank into his fur.

Rinako nodded. "Sounds fair to me," he muttered. Of course, he knew he couldn't be of much help, unless he were able to find them food instead of hunting for it. I hope they like snowberries he thought, sighing a little.

Crow frowned. "A rule? Maybe. But I don't think we really need it, it's common sense." He shrugged. Not to mention, he wasn't sure they were a cohesive enough group for anyone to really be making rules to impose on anyone else. He glanced at Rinako as he spoke, nodding. "Well, I'm ready to go when you are," he meowed to the black tom. He glanced over at Lynx. "You can come with us too, if you want."

Name: Rain Gender: Female Age: 36 Moons Appearance: Rain has a blue {Like Bluestar's} pelt. Her fur is very short and thick, and repels water quite well. Her pelt rounds out muscles enough that it seems like she doesn't have many in her limber frame. Personality: Rain is very reserved to any strangers she might meet, but once she gets to know a cat she completely opens up around them. She only trusts secrets to her closest friends, and it takes a while to get that close to her. Mate: Open! {You can try for her love if you would like. } Kits: N/A Other Kin: I might add her brother later History (optional): Other Notes: Umm hi

(I'll add! Is it alright if I specify that she has a blue-gray pelt when I add her in? Just so as to not interrupt the description with the anecdote about Bluestar.)

Lynx nods. " The day seems nice ?Is this time good for you ? " He mews before standing up and stretching his body. He bathed in the sunlight as it swept his face.

(Sorry for the poof, been under the weather lately)
Ember huffed. "A rule? I have no problem hunting. Gives me a chance to stretch my legs." she mewed, tail twitching. Then she replaced her annoyed expression with a more pleasant one. "I am grateful for all of your help, though."

Rinako snickered at the female's annoyance. "You would probably hunt better than me, if I am to be honest," he jested. Though it was true, it was not something he was above being sarcastic about. He stood and stretched his legs as well. "T'is as good a time as any, I suppose," he replied to Lynx and Crow. "Shall we?"

Crow twitched his whiskers at Ember's disdain. "Well, if course I'm not saying you can't hunt, just that you shouldn't have to." He turned his attention to Rinako, getting his paws as well. "Alright, we can go then." He paused, trying to think of which part of the surrounding area would be best for teaching a new hunter. Finally, he settled on a large pile of boulders which sat in the forest on the hillside- there was almost always prey there, and they should be relatively easy to hunt on even for a new hunter. Plus, the shadows formed by the rocks would help to hide Rinako's dark pelt, which would otherwise stand out in the snow.

Rinako followed along, a bit nervous. He, of course, never had many responsibilities growing up. Taking care of himself had been his easiest and only task, but now he felt this new responsibility weighing on his conscience. Never before was he given expectations to uphold, or any group to commit himself to, and now he was expected to hunt for not only these other cats but their kittens as well. This thought pressured the tom, but he knew that it was necessary in order to thrive here.

( Silv I can't give a decent summary since I'm not entirely sure about everything that's going on, but basically here's some info: Ember is currently in the den with the kits, it seems Crow and Rinako are about to go out hunting, I think Lynx is chilling idrk, and there are a couple cats out in the wilderness but not much seems to be going on with them in particular. It's a flawed explanation lol but I'm sure you'll be in the groove of things shortly [omg i can't believe i actually used the word 'groove' in a sentence]) Ember purred at the two toms and mewed "Have a good and productive time." (that's all I got for contribution :/)

{I'll just start Rain off near the den} Rain slipped though the undergrowth, following the smell of cat. She had been in the wilderness for so long without any interaction with others that she felt she needed this. She came to a hole that smelled like the den of a cat, so she stood at the entrance, not wanting to scare any cats inside by just coming in {Not to mention that would probably get her in trouble, weather she was hostile or not}. "Hello?" she meowed cautiously. "Is anycat in there?"

Name: Ace Gender: Male Age: 15 moons Appearance: Ace is a broad-shouldered tabby tom, with a muscular physique. His fur has splashes on white on his chest and underbelly as well has his large paws. His eyes are a vibrant green, sort of like an opal or emerald. Around his nose are hints of pale golden, which is also rimmed around the patches of white. Across his flank is a large, but old scar, and there is another scar on his nose. Personality: Whilst young, Ace has the experience of a much older cat. He is what you'd call street smart, and is happy to fight rather than talk. He's unsure of strangers, and can appear reserved for a while before you get to know him. Once he has a cause, he is viciously loyal, though he does have to believe in what he's doing. Ace is probably slightly overly headstrong, and tends to always think he's right, even if there is evidence to prove he's wrong. Mate: None Kits: None Other Kin: None History (optional): Other Notes:
{is this ok?}
