He was almost there. Nightweb was so close to the fresh kill pile that he could feel the gazes of the kill on him and make out precisely the finest specimen there! That all changed when he felt Greywind spring onto him, both startling and exciting him at the same time. "Oh, you little snake!" Nightweb called in mock-anger at the sleek she-cat as she ran from him, pushing himself back up to his paws. He could take a short detour from food for this... The tom used his hind legs to push him with speed, streaking towards his friend, raw excitement and genuine enjoyment filling him. It had been too long since something like this happened!

Pumpkinflower tilted her head to the side. Why the heavy sarcasm? The tip of her tail twitched in irritation, though she felt the curt reply was giving her a hint.
And she needed to go see Volefur and rest.
So she dipped her head, turned tail, and began padding off. ”Alright then - if you get eaten by a gator, don’t be talking bad about me in starclan.” She spoke nonchalantly.
- - - - - -
The kits happily trod along beside the elderly she-cat. They both were happy to have met her, and were ecstatic to get to bond with her - even Squirrelkit, who didn’t care much for the company of cats other than his family, was having a good time. Sparrowkit looked up to her, eyes shining brightly. ”Have you ever fought a badger?” He asked, then Squirrelkit piped in. ”Daisy and Punkin did - it was huuuuge!” ”And scary! That’s why Daisypetal told us she would teach us to fight before we came here.”
- - -
Daisypetal instantly recoiled, realizing she had brought up a sore subject. She also could see the hostility in the tom’s eyes - every part of her being was telling her to excuse herself and get away from him. But that would be rude. And anyway, perhaps he was just that way to every stranger he met.
And she had just brought up a sensitive subject.
”I am so sorry.” She spoke softly, her amber eyes shining with grief as she looked at Hawktalon. Losing a mate was painful, and her mind instantly turned to the loss of Finch only a few moons ago. It still tore her apart, so she could imagine what the tom in front of her felt.
She paused a moment as she saw her kits happily padding around the camp with Redmoon, her attention turning away from their conversation as the grief in her eyes was replaced with a bittersweet love.

RP: Graywind laughed slightly but gave an evil grin as she braced for the impact, they played this game often and she wouldn't have it either way. Every day they spent together and even when they were elders nothing would change, they were trouble together since day one. She had been shy and small while a young warrior in Tricklestone's shadow, he had pushed her at every turn to show Sunstar that he was a capable warrior no doubt to win favor so he could become deputy. The tom had been looked over for an apprentice and when he had received her, the runt of the litter, she knew he wasn't happy. She struggled at anything that required her to be big and for the longest time she thought about quitting until the day Nightweb had come to her defense and told her mentor to ease off and to stop pushing her too hard. If it wasn't for him she probably never learned how to climb a tree properly and would have been gator food if he hadn't taught her the difference in drift wood and a gator back.

RP: Redmoon smiled softly, "Yes I've fought a badger but only once, they don't like swamps too much since we have gators. Every now and then we'll catch the scent of one by the marsh forest but they know to stay away from the swamp." She smiled happily, "So you two know how to fight?"

"Yeah!" Leopardcloud smiled at their leader, "three strong cats should be able. Redwind and I wouldn't mind grabbing some eggs for the kits instead though," she offered either option, just glad to be spending time with her clanmates.

Redwind nodded in agreement with Leopardcloud. "I'm sure the kits would love it!" He added, stealing a quick glance at the nursery. He had remembered when he was a kit he would love when a warrior brought eggs back from a hunting trip.

His brown eyes locked in on his target and his legs flinging himself along the ground, Nightweb prepared himself to leap at Greywind and take his lighthearted revenge. There was no way she was going to get away with something like that so easily, and she never has before. Even when the two cats were young Warriors-to-be, there was never a time where he let something enjoyable slide by. It was like they were kits again! Or would be, if he was actually a healthy kit... No time to think about that though. Nightweb narrowed his eyes and ensured he was close enough to hit Greywind before leaping with all his might to tackle her, front legs outstretched and ready for impact.

OCC:NeptuneRP: "You guys just be safe okay. If you see adderfang tell him I'm not impressed with him going hunting without a partner and if he's talking to Crackedtooth tell him he needs a life instead of talking to that old gator." She smiled giving them a friendly nudge when she heard Vixenrose in the nursery yowl in pain. The large leader quickly made it to the den and saw the heavily pregnant queen kneed her nest. The dark sheet turned on her heel and ran to the med cat den, "Volefur! Its Vixenrose she's kitting!"

Leopardcloud would have liked to impress Ebonystar and show off a few skills, but she dipped her head. "Of course, we'll keep an eye out for him". As Ebonystar quickly sped away, she realized Vixenrose was finally kitting. She looked at Redwind and hurriedly said, "We should get out of here".

The usually talkative tom seemed speechless when he heard that Vixenrose was kitting. Shuttering at the sound of the queen's yowl, he nodded at Leopardcloud. "It'll be nice if we could find some eggs," he mewed, relieved to leave camp. While he loved playing with kits, kitting made him nervous. Heading towards the camp entrance, he snickered. "It'll be a bonus if we can sneak up on Adderfang," the tom joked, as he had often tried to make Adderfang crack a smile.

Leopardcloud couldn't imagine having to give up her warrior duties for moons to be a Queen. In that way, she respected them, but also didn't understand them. She had to admit to herself though that it always warmed her heart to see two cats looking so lovingly at one another. She shook out her pelt and snapped her attention back to Redwind, letting out a chuckle, "you seem to be looking for trouble". Leopardcloud darted out the camp entrance, looking back over her shoulder to see if he was following.

Redwind followed after the she-cat, taking long strides in the direction of the swamp. "Not trouble...just Adderfang." He grinned, keeping alert incase they would come across the gray tom. His ears perked up as he listened to the sounds around them. "I wonder how many kits Vixenrose will have." It was nice that there would be more kits. He always looked back fondly to his nursery days, where there seemed to be an abundance of kits.

Leopardcloud slowed down a bit to be in sync with him, her long tail waving in the air like a blade of grass. "I hope plenty, it will be nice to have some innocent optimism in the clan, and I also have my hopes up that Ebonystar chooses me to mentor one of them," She gave a longing look ahead. "I'd like to teach a cat all I know," Leoparcloud purred, glancing at the tom. "Do you ever think of becoming deputy?"

"Mentoring, I wouldn't mind mentoring." Redwind said as they walked side by side. Responding to the she-cat's question, he shook his head. "I never really thought about being deputy. Longclaw and Stormflash were always more interested in a leadership role. Right now I'm content with being a warrior." Looking over at Leopardcloud, he tilted his head. "You want to be deputy?"

Leoparcloud nodded in agreement to Redwind's comment on mentoring. She considered his question, and said in a slightly weary voice, "I have thought about it. But I think I'm just too young and inexperienced to be a deputy". She looked glumly at the ground in front of her and thought of Longclaw and Stormflash, strong warriors with ambition and strength. "Longclaw or Stormflash would be great," Leopardcloud purred, light coming back to her eyes as she looked at him. She trotted ahead, knowing they would be reaching good grounds for searching for eggs soon.

( Hey guys! Also welcome to all the new members. c: Sorry for vanishing Koi, but did Vixen have her kits while I was offline or that still yet to happen? I can bring Finchchirp there then. )
"True." Frostfern responded, thinking over his own fanily's affairs and disloyalty with distaste and disgust. He shrugged as he stopped walking, his voice lowering. "... Well. Then, I can't think of a way to improve this situation then. Unless... we all start our own clan... but, perhaps, that sounds more trouble than it's worth."

Hawktalon's eyes narrowed once again, and he held back the growing hiss, instead clenching his jaws shut. Sorry, was she? He couldn't believe he was hearing this from a loner, but he merely let out a puff of air as he tried to relax himself. No need to get worked up right now. There's time for that yet.
"Sorry, are you?" He said, slowly getting to his feet, and still burning his cold glare into her eyes. Your one to be sorry! "Don't be. I need no one's sympathy." He said aloud, his gaze flickering away from her as he noted her watching after her kits fondly. He watched them too for a moment, recalling his own children when they were all still in the nursery. This bringing to mind his son's death, as well as his mate's again, he only scowled more, before turning to stalk away.

Squirrelkit and Sparrowkit pauses a moment to look at Redmoon, eyes wide in amazement. She had fought a badger? That was amazing! So when she asked them if they could fight, how else would Squirrelkit respond?
”Yea!” He puffed out his chest and took a couple swipes at Sparrowkit’s ear. His brother let out a cry of surprise, then looked back at the elderly she-cat.
”But we’re not s’posed to unless there’s no big cats around.” He mewed before springing back at his brother. Squirrelkit simply crouched to avoid him, stopping the play fight to keep talking. ”An’ we’re not s’posed to fight cats unless they attack us.”
- - -
Daisypetal found herself shrinking back under the tom’s icy glare as he stood to his feet, speaking coldly to her. Did she do something wrong? She was simply apologizing for bringing up a sore subject. And he didn’t want it?
Fine.
As he turned his back to her, the queen stood to her feet, tail raised high and eyes lit with anger. She had been trying her best to give him the benefit of the doubt, to think he wasn’t just a rude fur bag glaring at the nursery where her kits spent most of their days.
”Whatever your problem really is-“ She was pretty sure she knew, though he hadn’t directly said it. ”It doesn’t give you - or any other cat - the right to behave so rudely to cats you haven’t even bothered getting to know.” She continued to glare at him, daring him to give her another curt reply laced with not-so-hidden anger.
- - -
Pumpkinflower padded back into the camp, ears instantly peeking up as she caught on to various conversations. Vixenrose was giving birth? That meant Volefur would have her paws full... but maybe the medicine cat could use some help?
That was if there weren’t already too many cats underfoot, the orange she-cat thought. But it couldn’t hurt to offer - she spotted Ebonystar near the medicine cat’s den and trotted over. ”Is there anything I can do to help?”

Volefur heard the commotion, Vixenrose must be kitting, she though running and gathering her supplies. She quickly padded to the nursery and set down her supplies.
