(Hi!)
Heronwake thought back. "Wait so if I was the only one born in my litter, then I would be more likely to only have one kit?" she sighed to herself, silently wishing she'd have a slightly larger litter.

Copperfeather purred at the talk of kits. "I was born into a large litter of five. I don't know how I would manage!. I would estimate about three or four kits", the dame said, smiling at the prospect of her litter. "I've been trying to think about names, but as many cats say, you can't name a kit until you see them!"

(Heyo!)
Talongrasp shook her head "It's not quite as exact as that my dear. You also have to factor in the father and all sorts of other things. There's no need to get discouraged" She rasped comfortingly, seeing Heronwake looking slightly discouaged.
"Although it is good to remember that any kits at all are a blessing from the ancestors." She reminded her gently. Although it had never truly bothered her, Talongrasp had never had kits of her own and never would, but she still felt lucky all the same to see all of the beautiful kits born to the clan. Even mothers who only had one or two kits in their lifetime loved their kits as fiercely as mothers who had several litters.

Heronwake perked up slightly. "Ah, I see" she purred. Now I just have to pick a mate who came from a HUGE litter. Then i can have all the kits I may want hehe. Heronwake purred and then looked back to Copperfeather. "That is quite a large litter that you came from" Heronwake laughed. "Five might be a bit much even for someone who did want a lot of kits"

"Is there a special someone you want to have kits with?", Copperfeather purred, nudging Heronwake jokingly as they were talking about kits. The she-cat's belly rumbled with hunger, and she felt her cheeks grow hot. "I'll get a sparrow!", she mewed, slightly embarrassed as she padded over to grab the fresh kill.

Heatherwind shook her head. "Ah. We were just wondering if, after you finished eating, you would want to come with us to hunt?" She knew Softwing typically liked to wander. Might as well get the duty part of your day out of the way first. Even Heatherwind liked to spend the hotter afternoon lounging in the sun or taking a dip in the water.

"Y-yeah... I figured since we hadn't had any go out yet... we could get a group to go...out" Aspenfur supplies, "Hunt, make a quick patrol around the territory- whatever you two think is best-" Aspenfur supplies the last bit quickly. Maybe she was tired from them being out so late last night? Maybe she was exasperated with how hard she thought it would be to get him to check out the grasslands late at night- he said he would go! He would try and keep all panicked thoughts to himself, but he would go. He really wished that wasn't the case because he had enjoyed his time with Softwing, after all the panicking.

Heronwake blushed before looking away. "N-No one particularly. I'll admit it's nice thinking of finding a mate and having my own kits, but I'm probably a little ways off from that. No one has caught my eye really just yet" she explained honestly.

Talongrasp nodded, her paw nudging Heronwake encouragingly "Well there's no reason to rush life my dear. The ancestors will bring you fate as it comes- there's no sense in making yourself unhappy trying to chase it" She rasped knowingly. Young she-cats always had such a preoccupation with kits, to one degree or another.
Except Softwing, Talongrasp thought privately. I'd half expect her to start laying eggs before she ever went to kitting!
-----
Softwing scuffled her paws, Aspenfur's indecision annoying her for once. Does he want to go out or not? It's not like he has to force himself to spend time with me or anything.
She pushed her insecurities down, instead trying to seem enthusiastic. "Sure, I could go for a trip out. I'm basically done with this fish anyway- I don't like to eat the heads" she meowed, picking up the carcass by the tail "Just let me bury this and I'll meet you out front Heatherwind."

Right. Meet Heatherwind out front.
Aspenfur just nods, droops his head and hurries to go to the front. At least she seemed eager to go along... it could just be his wild imagination again. If he could just... Rationalize his thoughts for a second he would be good- or maybe he should get something for Talongrasp.
...No. he couldnt really rely on that, when he was away from the tribe he couldn't just have that available.
He sits and quietly pats a rock between his paws.

(anybody know what's going on with Quickflame, Shellpaw, Brindlepaw, and Currenfur?)
"Oh, don't worry too much about it", Copperfeather agreed as she set down a plump sparrow. She watched Softwing and Aspenfur getting ready to go on a patrol, a suddenly felt a pang of longing to go hunting and patrolling again. Copperfeather knew she was much too far into her pregnancy to do that, but it didn't stop her from wanting to.

Apologies.. Orisa released live on Tuesday on Overwatch.. and I'm close to level 100.. Ahem xD)
Brindlepaw heard Quickflame from outside the Neo's den. Stretching out, she jumped to her paws and exited the den where she'd been resting in wait for her mentor. Stopping to quickly lick down a couple stray hairs, she glanced around and spotted the other three cats, bounding over to them excitedly. "Sorry! I must've nodded back off while waiting." She purred softly, embarrassed.

(So much miscommunication between the two xD It's adorable)
Heatherwind nodded and headed out with Aspenfur, noting that he looked disappointed. Had something happened between him and Softwing? Was he expecting a different response than the one she had given? She decided to keep quiet about her questions. He was already skittish and that would only make it worse.

"Oh, it's fine! At least we're all here", Quickflame mewed, his whiskers twitching. He remembered his days as an apprentice; he hardly ever payed attention! "Shellpaw, Currentfur, you ready?", he asked, glancing over his shoulder at his tribemates as he left through the camp entrance.

Heronwake nodded. "Yes yes that is true" she laughed slightly before looking down slightly and thinking to herself. What if she never found a tom who could grant her kits, and even if and when she did, what if she grew too old to even birth healthy kits. The she-cat's inner worries frustrated her before she shook them off. Her passion had always lied in helping her clan mates, and that was what she would focus on.

Talongrasp caught Copperfeather's eye, looking out longingly at the patrol ready to leave camp. If the queen was restless now, Talongrasp shuddered to imagine what she'd be like after being cooped up in the nursery for several moons!
"Copperfeather, if you'd like to go out for a walk I'd be more than happy to accompany you" She meowed, tilting her head welcomingly. The queens usually kitted better anyway if they kept their strength up prior to the event- it was a win-win scenario.
------
Softwing buried her bones outside camp, not too deep as usual so she could come back later and dig them up, if needed as bird bait. Then stretching out, she tried to push off her irritation. Being grouchy didn't suit her anyway, she decided, and convinced herself that doing well on the hunting patrol was just a task she would need to complete before she could reward herself with bird watching later in the afternoon. Bouncing back over, she met the other two cats at the camp entrance. "Ready when you are, lead the way!" She meowed, anxious to get going.

(Dang... I love traffic cop robot...;A; )
"Same here!" Shellpaw mews and shuffles her feet impatiently. The training would really do them some good. She was itching to learn something new, and this was a great group to go out and train with.
~~~
Aspenfur hesitates a moment wondering if Heatherwind would take the lead- but after a moments debate and a very cold feeling down his spine he moves to the front of the group. He knew a good place to hunt. It was a nice area right between the pools, the beach, and some heavy grass. If Softwing wanted, and didn't become too distracted, she could catch some gulls. Heatherwind or him could pick between fishing, or perhaps pulling out some mice from the grass.
"A-Alright... follow me?" If Heatherwind decided to take lead, he'd let her, but for now he took them out of the camp and towards the area he had in mind.

"I was thinking about teaching them how to a belly rake", Quickflame mewed to Currentfur, keeping a close eye on the apprentices as they followed. "They're both of full of energy, so hopefully this will calm them down after a while!", the tortoiseshell tom noted, admiring their eagerness.
"Oh, yes, that would quite nice!", Copperfeather responded, her green eyes brightening enthusiastically. It had felt like forever since she left camp, and this might be her last chance to go out before her kitting. "Would you like to come with us, Heronwake?", she added, understanding that the she-cat wouldn't want to be alone.

Heatherwind nodded and padded after Aspenfur. She was pleased to see the skittish tom taking a more leaderly position. ANd it looked like he had a place in mind. It didn't take her long to realize where they were heading. It was a smart spot. Even if cats had been there before, there were enough hunting options that they could still have a go at it. Once they arrived, she tasted the air. It didn't seem like anyone had been there earlier this morning. "Do we want to hunt as a group or individually?" She was fine with either.

[Gustkit] [Tom] [5 moons] [Kit] [Silv]
Gustkit is an obvious runt of whoever's litter he came from. He has a light-brown pelt & dark-brown stripes, which span across his body horizontally. His fur is very short & quite thick, yet it dries quickly and easily. Despite being small, he desires to learn to be a guard. Gustkit's thoughts often envelop him, and he seems to be kind of aloof because of this. Gustkit simply appeared in the tribes territory one day, and it is assumed that he was abandoned by his mother.{Is this backstory okay? If not, I can change this.{Delete this note upon putting the form in the members list please xD }}

Welcome)
"Belly Rake sounds good." Currentfur mewed nodding his head. That technique was pretty handy in a fight. "Apprentices always have a lot of energy."

"The bellyrake?" Shellpaw tilts her head. "But we have to keep our claws to ourselves, right?" Otherwise that would be... a bit dangerous.
~~~~
"How about... we hunt separately?" It was the best way to catch a lot of prey, and not step on anybodies toes. Softwing would probably want to hunt near the birds, so on the beach probably. He didn't know what Heatherwind would want. "Does that sound alright to you two...? Cover more..ground...?"

"Yes, we must sheathe our claws while practicing!", Quickflame reminded Shellpaw, as they entered the training hollow. He sat down, his tortoiseshell tail flicking from side to side with anticipation. "Currentfur and I will demonstrate", he decided, glancing at the gray tabby.

Brindlepaw followed the others silent, though still enjoying and technically part of the conversation. She really wasn't a talkative cat. Bounding past Shellpaw into the training hollow, she turned quickly and stood waiting for the others excitedly. "Sounds like fun!" She purred, her green eyes happy.

Talongrasp nodded "Of course Heronwake is welcome to come. Anywhere you two would like to go is fine with me. We could see the tidepools or take a walk through the trees..." She meowed, tilting her head to the side. Even she could benefit for a walk- wherever they went, she would try to pick up some herbs.
-----
Softwing nodded "Yeah, that's fine with me. I'll take the beach" she meowed, walking off in that direction. The tall grasses rimming the sandy hills at the edge of the beach provided perfect cover for a hunter. She simply had to stalk through the grasses until she came upon a group. The birds usually gathered in flocks in this area, which wa simultaneously good and bad. They would warn the whole group if any one of them spotted her- but on the other hand, the extra noise and confusion would distract them from her presence. It was just a shame that none of them had very pretty colored feathers.

"Oh, a walk through the trees would be delightful!", Copperfeather gushed. She loved the feel of soft ferns brushing her pelt, and how the leaves of the trees provided a cool shade from the scorching sun. "Would that be alright with you, Heronwake?", the dame asked, standing up carefully as to make sure her unborn kits would be fine.

"Alright." Shellpaw finds a place to sit and neatly sets her tail over her paws. "I've never seen a real belly rake before... Just the stuff kits do when they're excited"
~~~
"...I'll go get the pools then?" His long legs made it easy for him to wade deeper after fish, though just like every other cat he was prone to slipping.
Which was...oh so..very dangerous.
He swallows back nervousness and leaves Heatherwind to the grass and goes to stalk the edges of the pool.

"Currentfur can be defense, if that's fine with you?", Quickflame said, his head tipping to the side. "I'll pounce underneath you, and then I'll demonstrate the belly rake", he added, dropping into a low crouch, his paws shifting underneath him as he prepared to spring, once Currentfur gave him a signal to start.
