Warm and safe... Those were two words that sounded like pure bliss to Ivykit. Pulling herself back to her feet with a small huff, she took a few shaky steps towards the nice she-cat in front of her with a shy nod. "I...I'd like that," she mewed quietly, hoping that it wasn't TOO much of a walk to get to this warm and safe place since her paws were already aching and her eyes were protesting her keeping them open for much longer. "Are there um... lots of other kits in your big group?" Talking. Talking and questions would help her stay awake and not be rude to this very nice cat. Ivykit swiped at her face once again in an attempt to clean herself before giving her a small smile. Vixenrose waited for the little kit to come closer, her eyes warm and kind as she purred. "Of course, little one. We actually have some brand new kits if you'd like to meet them. A few that are older too, like you. We have cats who can help you heal from the icky stuff on you. I can help you clean your pelt and face, if you'll give me permission to. I have alot of kits of my own." Vixenrose asked gently, not wanting to scare the kit. "What's your name, love?" Giving the friendly she-cat a small nod she stepped closer, swaying slightly. "Thank you... I'm uh-my name's Ivykit," she said softly, glancing around at the other cats. "What's your name?" Question and answer, keep your eyes open, stay polite, and get some rest.This mantra repeated over and over in Ivykit's head as she moved closer to this cat. There was somewhere warm and safe close, and they'd probably have lots of nice prey as well. |

"These two toms with me are Thrushwing and Nettlepatch..." She hesitated before a curious look crossed her face. "Hm! Your name is the kind we call our kits. Did...your mother know about our ways, somehow?" A flicker of interest filled her, at who this kit's mother could be to name her kit in a way clan cats named their kits. |

Thrushwing and Nettlepatch were also pretty cool, but Vixenrose was real pretty. A small bubble of confusion rose to the surface as Vixenrose mentioned that her name was like the clan cats. "I um... I don't know. Momma told us lots of bedtime stories about them, but she didn't seem to... to like them too much," the kit mused before swaying slightly and adjusting her stance so she didn't fall over. "I uh I don't think you're as mean as she used to say though! And your name is really pretty!" Another grin. She hoped her mother was wrong about these cats... |

Well, I’m sure lots of cats think we’re pretty scary and wild when they don’t live in the Clans with us. Well, Ivykit, I promise that I won’t eat you. Nettlepatch is too full of birds and mice to eat anything else, and Thrushwing is a big softie under all that muscle.” Vixenrose whispered, teasing in her voice as she looked kindly at the young kit. “We have an entire rule we live by that says we can’t harm kits. We protect them, no matter where they come from.” She promised. |

Ivykit visibly relaxed as the she-cat spoke, giving a small giggle that she tried to hide behind a paw at her descriptions of the other two cats around her. Well, these clan cats seemed nice, and if they had rules about not harming kits all the better for her! "Well uh thank you... I um... How far away is your home?" Ivykit said before swaying again and plopping back onto her haunches with a small huff. Her paws hurt, so of it was gonna be a walk then she'd have to give them a rest before starting up again. |

Nettlepatch snorted in amusement at Vixenrose's statement, but nodded kindly at the kit. "It's not too far away from here, if you get tired though, you could always ride on my back. I let my sister's kits do it all the time."

I let my sister's kits do it all the time." Ivykit's eyes went wide as saucers at that offer. She had never ridden on another cat's back before! That sounded fun! Pushing herself back up onto her paws (and wincing ever so slightly at the tenderness found on her pads) she gently made her way over to... Nettlepatch, that's right. "How uh... Do you want me to just climb... up?" Shifting her weight from paw-to-paw, Ivykit examined the bigger cat's pelt as if she was trying to map out the best way to get up there. |

She smiled and laughed a bit, before casting Nettlepatch a knowing and approving look. She could tell he’d make a good father one day, just like her dear Flamestrike. |

Nettlepatch bent down to help Ivykit and Vixenrose, taking the kit's small weight with ease. "You can dig your claws into my fur so you have a better hold. I don't want you to fall off on the trek back to camp."

I don't want you to fall off on the trek back to camp." A surprised huff of breath left her muzzle as Ivykit was suddenly lifted up onto the tom's back. Following their instructions she gently unsheathed her claws and hooked them into the fur underneath her, careful not to poke Nettlepatch as he moved. She nodded at their words and snuggled into the warm fur of the cat beneath her with a sigh. Perhaps things would turn out alright for her after all. |

Nettlepatch looked at the patrol with a nod before starting to make his way back towards the camp, careful not to jostle the kit on his back too much as he padded along. "Do you know how many moons you are Ivykit?" he asked curiously.

Scrunching up her face as she tried to think, Ivykit tried to remember how many full moons she had seen before. "I think... four?" she replied after a moment. "But I'm not sure." Was that important to know? What other odd pieces of information would these cats ask her to remember?

Blazer, Willow. Wanna have Leopardfrost and Blizzardstorm show Drizzlepaw and Flurrypaw around the territory??)

yeah!!! we can do that  ) Nettlepatch hummed in acknowledgement, "That's alright, I was just wondering. Kits in the clan become apprentices to learn how to be warriors when they reach 6 moons." Blizzardstorm nuzzled Squirreltail and their kits before quietly saying goodbye and leaving the nursery, looking around the camp he searched for his apprentice, sure the new apprentice would be eager to see the territory. |

Squirreltail gave a purr to Blizzardstorm, happy he was given an apprentice. She turned to her kits, giving Lionkit a lick on the head. Lionkit pulled away, shaking his head, “Mama, I’m clean enough.” He complained.
Leopardfrost spotted Blizzardstorm and called out a greeting, “Blizzardstorm! I thought we could Show Drizzlepaw and Flurrypaw around the territory together, if you want.” She suggested.

(Sure!)
Flurrypaw shot out quickly from the apprentice’s den, fur flecked with moss as he saddled up to Blizzardstorm.
“I’m ready to go! I’m ready!”
“W-wait!” Drizzlepaw padded more softly out of the den, looking at Leopardfrost with a hint of nervousness. “Uhm…I’m ready to go too.”

Twilightkit frowned as he watched Blizzardstorm go, "Where's he going Mama? He always plays with us at this time." he mewed with a pout.
Tansykit pawed at Lionkit playfully, "You wanna go see how many leaves we can catch?"
Blizzardstorm dipped his head to Leopardfrost, "Sounds good to me, two mentors are always better than one." he mewed with a chuckle. Turning to look at Flurrypaw, he flicked his ears, amused by the energy radiating from the tiny tom, "Promise you're going to stay close to us Flurrypaw?"

“Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll come back later to play. Your father has an apprentice now, so he’s going to be training Flurrypaw to be a warrior.” Squirreltail mewed, giving Twilightkit a lick on the head.
Lionkit jumped up, racing to the nursery entrance, “I’m definitely going to catch more than you!” He squeaked.
Leopardfrost gave a smile to Drizzlepaw, “Good. I hope you guys got plenty of rest. You’re going to need it.” She purred.

"I'll stick closer than a thorn in your pelt." Flurrypaw promised bluntly, only to scamper on right past them and jump excitedly. "Let's go, let's go! I want to see everything! Come on!" He urged, looking at the two Warriors and his sister impatiently.
Drizzlepaw looked up at Leopardfrost before her ears fell sheepishly at her brother's energy. "S-sorry...Flurrypaw gets super excited first thing in the morning. He'll crash and fall asleep by the time the sun starts going down."
"No I won't!" Flurrypaw exclaimed.

Blizzardstorm nuzzled Squirreltail and their kits before quietly saying goodbye and leaving the nursery, looking around the camp he searched for his apprentice, sure the new apprentice would be eager to see the territory. "Oh, interesting," Ivykit mulled over that new fact as they held onto the cat below her. If she was gonna stay with these cats would SHE become an apprentice and a warrior? That would be cool, but would she have to fight other cats a lot??? She let those thoughts run around in her mind before closing her eyes to rest. The lopping strides of Nettlepatch underneath her were kinda... soothing and she was finding it difficult to stay awake while pressed into the warm fur and being rocked as they moved. |

Peachdapple swished her tail as she awaited for Ghostscreech to gather the rest of their little patrol to set off towards Skyclan. Hopefully, Spiritstar would be in good graces seeing her amongst the deputy and Thunderclan Warriors.

Autumnfall sighed with frustration as she kicked a pinecone around, trying to get her thoughts settled. It really wasn’t fair. How could she possibly like not one, but two cats at the same time? Why did Wolfshadow and Jaytalon both have to cloud her mind constantly? Why not just one, why couldn’t she choose? Even then, as if either would return the feelings. She was loud and blunt and hardly elegant or brilliantly clever. She was rough and tumble and took no nonsense. Surely she’d only scare them away.
Maybe just being friends was better…but then, it was becoming impossible to pretend like she hadn’t been enamored by Wolfshadow since they were apprentices, and that recently she had found Jaytalon to be everything she wanted in a partner.
“Ugh! I sound like a moonstruck kit!” She hissed to herself, alone on a walk to clear her thoughts, much to her lack of success.
