Lilybreeze's eyes lit up at her mate's excitement, and she flicked her tail on his nose with playful delight. "I'm happy to hear it! Okay. Once our mission is done, we'll have the best kits in the clan!" The black she-cat purred.
Pinefoot almost snickered at Dapplewing's response, but quickly softened in consideration. "Well, compared to Blackfire, neither am I." Pinefoot offered.
Ashdapple tensed on instinct, only to soften into her gentle grasp, and give a crooked smile. "I...yeah, I knew it was your favorite...er, sorry for waiting around so long, I uh...still not good with groups."

Blazeshade purred lovingly, licking her cheek with pride. "You bet they will be!"
Dapplewing shook his head. "But I'm terrible at it. The long fur on my feet makes me slip on the leaves and I scare away all the prey..." He whimpered, flattening his ears.
Flyleaf smiled sadly. "That's okay dear, I just wish we'd have more time to spend together. I feel like you're always so distant nowadays..."

(Anywhere you desire! Nettle and Olive?)
Lilybreeze gave a bright smile. "Our group needs more kits anyway, and we need numbers to ensure survival...So I'd be happy to give such a gift." She admitted.
Pinefoot flicked Dapplewing with his tail as he snorted. "Well, when you doubt yourself so much, you certainly won't be a great hunter. Perhaps a cat like you is better suited for fishing instead of land hunting." He offered.
Ashdapple gave a guilty look, knowing things seemed distant between he and his mate. He swallowed, apologizing gently. "I'm sorry, love...I, er...I know I'm not the best at expressing myself, but...you do mean a lot to me, and our kits too. I'm real proud, I just...I'm not sure how to show it."

Blazeshade purred. "You'll be the best mother in the Clan." He touched his nose to her cheek lovingly, hetero eyes bright with warmth. "And you'll make me the proudest father." His chest puffed at the thought of tiny Lilybreeze and Blazeshades running around, squeaking.
"Hmmm... I never thought about that." Dapplewing admitted, flicking an ear in thought. "Are we going near the river today?" He asked, whiskers twitching.
Flyleaf gently touched her nose to his cheek, and curled her tail around her paws as she sat down. "I know, love. I'm willing to work through it with you, too." The pale, patched tabby purred, golden eyes soft.

Wrenlight purred and got to her paws, "Those are lovely names! I like birds too." She winked an amber eye. The tiny she-cat turned to the entrance of the den, "I'll be back with the thyme in just a few minutes" And with a swish of her tail she smiled back to the queen as she departed the nursery. She scurried across the camp to her den, weaving between the cats sitting in the clearing. When she arrived she immediately began her hasty search for thyme leaves.
--
It seemed like it had been an eternity of walking. Soon another day would wain and she could add it to the 'Days since we left' stick in her head. Though, she could no longer count the sunrises since their departure. "Rain" a deep rumble. Surprised, and pulled from her thoughts the she-cat looked back to her companion. "What?" the large tom gestured ahead of them with a nod. She looked at the river before them. "I can see the river I'm not stupid." The fluffy grey she-cat said, a growl under her voice. Smoke closed his eyes and shook his head, and lifted an enormous paw to point beyond the river. Rain couldn't see it. "What is it?" Her mew was sharp, demanding. He came to stand beside her, "There were cats over there." Should have called you Eagleeyes. There, she spotted them, the paw prints. they were partially filled in with snow. seriously how did he see those. Smoke took the lead from her and walked to the bank of the river, it was unfortunately still running despite the frigid temperatures. "So what we're just going to walk in their territory and say 'Hi, can we stay over for a while'? Are you insane?" Smoke looked from side to side, studying the river and he sighed, "Rain, you're so charming I'm sure they'll be more than willing." Rain followed him down the bank where a single rock was peeking above the water in the middle of the river. "I know but still." Smoke rolled his eyes, knowing Rain couldn't see it, and cleared the river in two leaps. On the other side he waited for the she-cat to jump, his muscles coiled and ready to catch her if she slipped. She did not. Rain made it across easily as well. "Lets go say hi then." Rain purred, and with that they ventured into the new territory.

Featherflight purred knowingly, and bent her head to lick her kits' heads lovingly. After a moment, she raised her head, sapphire eyes swimming with affection. "Thistletail..." She called her brother's name softly, curling her tail loosely around the tiny bundles that suckled at her belly. "I'm feeling quite hungry... Would you mind fetching me something, please?" The queen asked softly, afraid of disturbing her babies.
Wildstar had failed in his quest to find Owlshadow and Poppyblossom in the forest, and so he returned to Camp, and sat outside of his den, snow dusting his large ginger paws. Maybe I should get Frostfeather and go look again... He pondered, eyes watching the entrance to the camp but not really seeing. His sister was often much better at finding things, or cats, than he was, and she was also the head on his shoulders when Owlshadow wasn't around.

Blazeshade purred. "You'll be the best mother in the Clan." He touched his nose to her cheek lovingly, hetero eyes bright with warmth. "And you'll make me the proudest father." His chest puffed at the thought of tiny Lilybreeze and Blazeshades running around, squeaking. "Hmmm... I never thought about that." Dapplewing admitted, flicking an ear in thought. "Are we going near the river today?" He asked, whiskers twitching. Flyleaf gently touched her nose to his cheek, and curled her tail around her paws as she sat down. "I know, love. I'm willing to work through it with you, too." The pale, patched tabby purred, golden eyes soft. Lilybreeze gave a warm purr, glancing at her mate with sheer love as she giggled. "Stop it. You're so kind to me. I...I know our kits will be loved." Pinefoot gave a thoughtful flick of his ears before he mewed. "Know what? Yeah. Sure, why not. You okay with that?" He looked at Blackfire and Dreampool. Ashdapple still looked guilty, but found himself feeling calmer than usual. He still got clipped responses from his daughter, whom he had always been unable to connect with, but he loved his family and would try his best to make his mate happy.

"I'll love them as ferociously as my mother loved me." Blazeshade vowed, his mismatched eyes gleaming with delight. Even if it would be a while before they decided to have their kits, the silvery tom already knew he would do whatever it took to raise them properly, and ensure they were loved.
-------------
Dreampool shrugged, flicking an ear. "I'm good with whatever." She glanced over at Blackfire, one of the few senior warriors older than her. "What about you, daughter of Flowerfall?"
Flyleaf smiled sheepishly. "Ashdapple, love..." She looked up at him, her cheek fur warmer than usual, "I do hope this isn't too sudden, but... I would really love to have more kits." The pale splotched tabby she-cat's golden eyes were pleading, almost, as well as slightly embarrassed at having to have asked so directly.

Lilybreeze gave a grand smile, her black fur fluffing up in delight as she purred. "If we raise them half as well as Mysticglow raised you, we'll have no problems whatsoever."
Blackfire gave a humored snort, her fiery personality never fading with age. The oldest warrior waved her tail and mewed. "Sounds great! Fishing's always fun. I even like the water." She nodded, thanks to Flowerfall's former kittypet life, her mother had loved water and had let her kits swim alot.
Ashdapple flinched lightly. Starclan. Their first litter had been unplanned, moons ago and right at the start of their relationship. But this was a planned option. And...and Flyleaf looked so hopeful. How could he possibly deny that? Especially when, even if it made him anxious, that he was proud of his kits? The akward tom gave a shy smile, and mewed softly. "That...that sounds like it can work. Er. Yes. Yeah, we can have more kits."

Blazeshade purred happily, rubbing his cheek against hers. "And if they have half the kindness and fieriness of your brother, no one shall cross them!" He exclaimed, excitedly.
------------
Dapplewing nodded, looking to the other three members. Hopefully I don't screw this up, too. The tortoiseshell tom thought with a sigh.
Flyleaf grinned, leaning forwards to lick Ashdapple's cheek. "Oh, thank you, love. You've made me the happiest she-cat." The white splotched tabby purred, golden eyes bright.

"Hah. Which brother, love?" Lilybreeze teased, knowing that both Adderstrike and Stormripple could be both kind and fierce, which was why one was a great father and the other was Nettleheart's most trusted second in command. She gave a humored smile.
-------
Pinefoot led the hunting patrol towards one of the rivers, snow and slush freezing on the edges of the flowing water. Carefully moving, he padded on the bank, as Blackfire skillfully edged around the ice and settled into a good spot.
Ashdapple felt his fur warm, and his eyes lit up for the first time in a few days. Flyleaf really was the best part of him, and it was her love and Risingfire's support that made him work to be better. He hummed. "And you've made me the happiest tom...This time we'll plan this, and I'll be a better father." He looked longingly at where Frostfeather was, her back to her parents, and then at where Wildstar had padded off to.

"Either one would work, though I had originally intended to mean Adderstrike." Blazeshade chuckled, whiskers twitching with amusement at the thought of his mate's littermates.
---------
Dreampool daintily skirted the slushier snows, a very fine white powder already dusting her long blue coat. "It's very likely all the fish will be hiding in shallower ice pockets to escape the currents. Though, it's too early in Bare-Leaf to form really thick ice..." She meowed thoughtfully, flicking an ear after she spoke.
Dapplewing looked nervously at the swiftly flowing river. "What if we fall in?" He questioned, anxiety in his yellow eyes. His short, splotchy pelt stood on end, and his tail swished rapidly.
"Oh, sweetheart..." Flyleaf meowed with a frown, "You are a good father. You know our kits love you." She insisted, white and gingery ears flattened.

Wrenlight found the thyme after a few minutes. She had almost panicked thinking it was all gone already. But she had just misplaced it. She picked it up daintily and again she skittered across the camp to the nursery. Featherflight was just where she left her. "Here's your thyme!" The tiny she cat placed the herbs before her clanmate. She waited for her to eat them.
Rain ran into Smoke's hind end when he stopped abruptly. "Hey!" She sputtered at the tom. "What did you stop for?" Wordlessly he nodded and angled his ears off to his left. Rain's steely blue eyes followed his guestue. Not far downstream a small group of cats gathered near the bank of the river they had just crossed. "Would you look at that!" She muttered, she turned her body in their direction. Even though she had joked about just walking up to them previously, she felt unsure now. Clan cats were a defensive bunch...

Featherflight purred with delight. "Thank you so much, Wrenlight." She dipped her head graciously before chewing up the herbs slowly, enjoying the taste they left in her maw. "Would you like to see them?" She asked after swallowing the first leaf, flicking her ear towards her extended belly, where her tail curled protectively over the hidden, precious bundles of new life.
Dapplewing shook his head again. "I don't know, I'm having some serious doubts about this now." The tortie warrior panicked, eyes darting around. In his evasive mannerisms, he looked down the river and noticed cat-like figures. "G-guys..." He whispered, eyes widening.

Lilybreeze gave a purr of laughter. "I'm sure Adderstrike would be elated to know you think so highly of him. His ego certainly would." She joked.
----------
Pinefoot acted quickly, bristling dark tabby fur and narrowing his eyes darkly as he spotted the intruders.
Even so, it was Blackfire who took the lead, skillfully wading into the water to rejoin the hunting patrol, fur bristled, but eyes calm and dangerous, tail lifted in warning. The clan's most senior warrior called strongly towards the intruders, standing protectively in front of her patrol. Pinefoot took position at her side, signaling for Dreampool and Dapplewing to do the same.
"Hey! You cats are intruding on Snowclan territory! State your business or move on!" She demanded.

Wrenlight crouched next to the kits, "Aw so cute!" Her eyes filled with joy at their tiny, now fluffy, forms. "You have a good mom," she told them. "And a good clan to take care of you." She purred softly, "I can't wait till you open your eyes!"
--
Wordlessly the two cats communicated something to each other before Rain took one hesitant step forward and then trotted down to the river bank leaving a few foxlengthes between the two parties. Smoke stood slightly behind her, a menacing figure, ready to leap to her defense should the need arise. Rain dipped her head to them in way of greeting. its all about formality.... "My name is Rain," She gestured to her companion with a sweep of her fluffy tail. "And this is Smoke." He nodded, but said nothing. Rain would wait for their response before continuing. To any other group of cats she might not have been so respectful, but she really didn't want to offend these cats.

"Rain and Smoke? Mh...My name is Blackfire. These are my clanmates, Pinefoot, Dreampool and Dapplewing. As you already know, we are warriors of Snowclan." The black and ginger warrior flattened her fur, slipping away from her fiery personality to a very formal stature. She mewed. "Now that we've got names in check, it's imperative that you tell us of your intentions here. Did you wander here? Are you looking for someone?" She asked.

Featherflight purred at Wrenlight's enthusiasm. "Thank you for your kindness, Wrenlight. And for being so good with me during my kitting. I don't know what I would have done without your soothing words and quickness to aide me." The black and white she-cat dipped her head to the younger medicine cat, gratefulness radiant in her sapphire eyes. "You're going to be such a good aunt." The older queen purred, love in her eyes for her younger sister.

Thistletail padded quickly into the camp with a crow, beelining towards Featherflight with anxious steps. While it snowed almost all seasons, leafbare was approaching and that meant the snow would be stronger, colder and deadlier. He paused, seeing Wrenlight talking to Featherflight.

Featherflight saw her brother appear outside of the mouth of the nursery, a crow dangling from his maw. "Oh, Thistletail! Hello!" She greeted with a purr, her sapphire eyes bright at the arrival of her littermate. "Out hunting this morning, I see."

"Yeah, you know it. Got you this crow. I mean, keeping these kits healthy is first priority. How are my nieces and nephews?" Thistletail entered the nursery, placing the crow down and greeting his sister quickly, looking down at her kits.

Rain thought about their purpose for a heart beat before answering the Snowclan patrol leader. "Well, one could say we wandered here... You see we've been looking for clan cats. We...heard about them in stories and wanted to meet them." Smoke nodded to support her. "And we wanted to meet some clan cats and see what their lives were like."
---
Wrenlight opened her mouth to respond but didn't end up answering. Thistletail had come to visit his sister, Featherflight seemed pleased about his coming to coming to see her and her new kits. Her whiskered twitched while she listened to them converse.

Blackfire twitched her ear lightly, eyes unreadable as she suddenly spoke. "Hm. Well, if you wish to know of us, you'll have to see our leader. Amd we'd have to closely escort you."

"The tom is Kestralkit. The she-kit, Robinkit." Featherflight purred proudly, pointing to each of her kits with her nose. Then she looked back up at her brother, grinning. "Do you think Sorrelswift would have liked those names, Thistletail?" She asked, quietly, smile faltering momentarily before returning.
Dapplewing, nervous as ever, simply stood bristling behind Blackfire, merely nodding to confirm her words.
Dreampool raised a white eyebrow, suspicion lacing her big silvery eyes. "Heard about us, you claim? From whom?" The long-furred blue-and-white she-cat asked, flicking her tail slightly, apprehensively, as she awaited a response from the silver tabby she-cat. Her eyes glanced over the huge tom, and realizing he was every bit as the long-dead warrior Space.

"Oh, Sorrelswift and Hollowstar would have adored those names." Thistletail nodded slowly, eyes growing with pained memory at the loss of their parents and sister. He missed Amberpaw and Vulturepaw dearly... Shaking his head, he purred and waved his tail upon the newborns.

Featherflight purred sadly, curling her tail a little tighter around the bundles of fur. "You're gonna be a wonderful uncle." She promised, her sapphire eyes warm. Then, the black-and-white queen looked over to the medicine cat. "Wrenlight, do you think you would be able to handle a niece and nephew on top of your medicine cat duties?" She asked softly, teasingly, no malice in her meow.

Rain resisted the urge to glance at Smoke for help, "From cats who have heard stories and those stories were passed to us." She explained to Dreampool, an air of nonchalance to her tone. She didn't wait for a response from her and immediately returned her attention to Blackfire with a flick of her fluffy tail. "A meeting with your leader would be perfect." Rain replied, a soft purr under her voice.
Smoke remained quiet for the entire conversation, just watching every cat carefully with his amber eyes. Uncharacteristically he tried not to be too intense or unnerving towards the clan cats. His size often made other cats feel intimidated, and for once he didn't really want that to be the case. Still, he couldn't help he out sized most if not all of the cats around him.
-- Wrenlight purred, "Of course I would Featherflight!" the tiny she-cat would be sure to give these kits all the extra attention she could manage.
