(( YOU'RE AN EVIL GENIUS I LOVE YOU LETS D O I T ))
The fluffy Warrior give a soft chuckle , apologizing for nearly scaring him into being hairless . She extended a paw over and tapped just behind her shoulder closer to her spine . " I think I just slept wrong , or perhaps pulled something when I was out hunting , " She muttered , " All in a day's work for us though , I suppose . " She carefully lowered herself , tucking her paws under her .
" You're the expert , I'll go with whatever you think is best ... " She glanced over her shoulder momentarily , swishing her tail across the ground , " How are those kits looking ? Have you had the chance to see them ? They appeared to be healthy when I brought them back , but ... I worry that I overlooked something . Convincing Eaglestar to keep them was a task in itself , I'd hate for something to come up . "
Half lidded eyes drifted back in Cinderfrost's direction , appearing worried for their future . Whether or not it was genuine was up for debate ; but she had saved their lives so she figured she had a right to know how they were doing . ((Your artwork is stunning, Minou! If only I could save up enough money, I'd commission you in a heartbeat omg.))
Cinderfrost felt his gut drop a little bit; he had absolutely neglected to check up on the kits. It's not that the thought hadn't crossed his mind, but more so the fact that he was unable to really bring himself to do anything on his own. Perhaps if someone had come in asking, he would have obliged, but without that, he just felt 'meh' about doing much real work due to his anxious demeanor at the moment. He felt a pang of sorrow for his apprentice, Nightpaw, hoping that his hectic and unprofessional behavior today hadn't upset her. He couldn't imagine having a mouse-for-brains mentor that couldn't even bother to check up on newborn kits. He stiffened a little, realizing that Rosethorn was likely just concerned about their well-being; she was the one who helped kit them, after all. "I... I haven't had the chance to look at them today," he mewed before lying, "I've been extremely busy today with sorting all the herbs Nightpaw and I grabbed yesterday." He tasted his tongue turning bitter at the lie, but amended it with a bit of truth, "I figured since no one came for me, that they were quite healthy and well; that probably wasn't the best decision by me..." he mewed nervously.
"I did want to thank you, Rosethorn..." he continued, clearing his quavering voice, "You did my job yesterday when I was out; I should have been there and I'm very sorry to have put you through that. I'm very happy that the kits were..." he faltered a little bit, flattening his ears momentarily, "without defects. They... they'll have a good life here." The medicine cat had to force his fur to lie flat as he picked up a couple marigold leaves in his jaws and brought them over to where Rosethorn had laid. He quickly diverted the subject away from his current inability to do his job and focused on his new task at hand. "Alright, so I'm going to use my paws to try and feel for your knot in your shoulder," he mewed, propping himself up on his hind legs. He realized that the calico she-cat was actually much bigger than he originally thought, dwarfing him, and hoped that his small frame would have enough force to get the knot out. He placed his paws in her fur, careful not to extend his claws. Upon feeling it, he scoffed at her, "Did you wrestle a bear?"

(( Awe thank you so much !! <3 I still appreciate it ! <3 I often take requests in my free time when I don't have any commissions going on so !! You're always welcome to ask if they're open . Right now they are since I don't have anything on my plate ! Usually I'm juggling commissions and other stuff ; I have a job as a comic artist for the guy that runs some pretty popular webcomics like Scandinavia and the World , and a few other webcomics . It's stressful at times but art is what I love so <3 Plus I'm always happy to do stuff for my friends ~ ! ))
(( Also why do I lowkey ship Rose/Cinder ??? omg ,,, ))
Rosethorn untucked a paw to wave it with a slight chuckle as he told her about not having checked in on the kits . Though she did agree , he probably should've , she couldn't blame him if he had been busy . " Last I checked they seemed to be doing just fine , but I think a checkup every half moon could do them some good , just to check for any developments ... "
Rosethorn felt a bit bad that he seemed so nervous . Was it just because of the recent events , or was it her that made him nervous ? She wiggled her ears before looking to him , touching his shoulder with her tail in a friendly manner . " I'm not making you nervous , am I ? " She inquired before he had thanked her , raising an 'eyebrow' curiously . " You have no need to worry , I'm not Eaglestar , " She joked , but paused as he seemed as if he had something more to add .
It genuinely surprised her that he was thanking her for being there for Morningflight's kitting . Her gut twisted , and though she wouldn't admit it , she almost felt a little bit nauseous . She had purposely abandoned Morningflight , taking the kits and using them to forward her agenda . Sure , she had saved the lives of kits she didn't need to give two fluffs about , but she had left a cat in pain and dying in the cold out there ... She shook the thought from her head , bringing herself back to the conversation .
" I know you don't fully believe that , " She chided , resting her head between her paws on the floor , " Not with Eaglestar practically in complete control of everything . I feel as though ... Eaglestar chose Rainfoot - " As as last second decision out of laziness " - because she probably wouldn't stand up to him and keep him in check , as Deputies are meant to do . " She cleared her throat slightly , flattening her ears . She knew she shouldn't say too much , but she didn't find what she was saying to be suspicious , " Not to talk down about a clanmate , but ... I don't know . Eaglestar has his reasons one way or another , I suppose . But that's enough out of me - "
Rosethorn nodded as he searched for the knot under her thick fur , and she chuckled , " Might as well have , that bad , huh ? "

Nightpaw was about to enter the Medicine Cat's Den when she heard the low murmur of voices, Cinderfrost...and a she-cat? She knew who it was as soon as he saw the end of a massive tail - Rosethorn. The large she-cat made her nervous, but wouldn't let it show. "Cinderfrost?" she called, making noise so it didn't sound as if she'd been eavesdropping on their conversation.

((Oh shoot, I used to read that comic all the time; that's really awesome! But I have two words for u: Size. Difference.))
Cinderfrost felt himself attempting to balance his words carefully, not wanting to say anything that could spark any sort of conflict; as such, he refrained from commenting upon Rosethorn's first jab at Eaglestar, hesitant to voice is own opinion. He listened closely, however, weighing his options of responding.
He sighed in defeat, knowing that there was no way to really sugar-coat his words that came next; but he tried. "You're... somewhat right; I can't condone our leader's actions right now. It's really not my place to say anything, though..." He did feel a stab of disdain for his leader's policy as he said that, thinking fretfully again of him being forced to be an elder. He pondered Rosethorn's words about the deputy as he pressed his paws into her muscle, using almost his full weight. "Y'know, I thought Rainfoot was a good choice for deputy; she's a counter to Eaglestar's more... controlling policies. Not that it stopped anything," he admitted, wondering if it would have even made a difference had she stood up against him. "I like to think he didn't choose Rainfoot just to step over her; if he were so controlling, we wouldn't even have a deputy," he concluded, grunting a little as he tried to work through the darn knot.
His ears perked up as soon as he heard his apprentice at the entrance of the den, and he called out to her, "Oh, Nightpaw; I'm glad you're here!" he quavered, "Rosethorn has a knot in her shoulder; would you like to see how to fix them?" He was almost desperate to avoid the topic at hand and Nightpaw gave him a wonderful little way out. He did feel a small seed of worry in his chest grow; Cinderfrost hoped she hadn't overheard too much of the two cats' conversation, or at least, he hoped she didn't have any problems with it.

" You're the Medicine Cat , you have a voice . Or you should , but that's just my two claws . I suppose you're right about Rainfoot though ... " Rosethorn did her best to keep her muscles relaxed and her mind partially somewhere else as she continued , " But I guess you're right . About Rainfoot , I mean . I'd like to see her succeed , but times are tough . Let's just - " She let out a tiny cough , trying not to roll her eyes as she closed them , " Pray to Starclan that everything goes smoothly this leafbare . "
Rosethorn had seen it before ; she knew most leaders around here were the same . They got their ' nine lives ' and spent their whole reign acting as if they were untouchable , and consequently , they ended up lazy . She didn't believe in such nonsense . If she ever got to Leadership status , she surely wouldn't spend all her time lazing around just because she had time to kill . She thought about that for a moment though . She didn't believe in Starclan ; would she even get nine lives ? If that was even a real thing ...
As another voice caught in her ears , she lifted her head to glance over her shoulder . " Evening , Nightpaw , " She yawned before laying her head back down . Rosethorn decided her best bet was to play along with everything , though truth be told , Cinderfrost was one of the few cats in the Clan she didn't entirely mind . Sure , he could be jumpy and a bit out there at times , but he never really did anything to outwardly irritate her . Nightpaw was the same way , truth be told .
(( When are they going on their trip to speak with Starclan ? Rose is silently plotting away heheh ))

Leaf Eye was sitting near some bushes, noting a lack of thorns on some of them but figuring it was just some other animals. One of the bushes caught his eye though, he padded closer to inspect it. A feather, quite big and brown, was caught in the bush. It was hardly noticeable with a slowly wilting rose blossom covering almost have of it. His heart started to beat faster, his limb shaking violently. The old tom fell to the ground hard, convulsing and gasping. He knew what this way and he was used to it, he knew eventually he would come back to reality with an image burned into his mind.

Barkpelt , uncharacteristically , had sauntered out of camp to go practice hunting , away from the prying eyes of others . He was nowhere near as good as his sister , and often had to take claim of her kills when they were apprentices just so he could avoid the scorn of Eaglestar . He sighed irritably to himself , trying to hone in on what little prey was left nearby . As he did so , the sound of coughs and gasps filled his ears , and his head snapped in the direction it had come from .
His heart beat fervently in his chest - was someone hurt ? He crouched low to the ground , hurrying forward on quiet paws . He weaved through the growth until finally , he had found the source . Some tom he'd never seen before , old by the looks of it , appeared to be writhing a bit as he gasped for air . Panic coursed through his veins ; who was this cat ? What was he doing here ? Was he dying ? Barkpelt carefully stepped forward , appearing smaller than he normally would have .
" A - Are you alright ? Who are you ? " He couldn't say he'd seen anything like this before , at least , that he could recall .

It took a moment for Leaf Eye to recover, he took a deep breath and slowly stumbled to his paws. He shook some leaves and dirt off his pelt before he noticed Barkpelt. "Oh hello young one!" he smiled and gave him a quick sniff. "Ah Birchclan, not surprising." he chuckled. Then he recalled the questions he was asked, "My name is Leaf Eye, and yes I'm quite alright. I'm used to having seizures, always happens when I come back something interesting." he explained, flick his fluffy tail toward the feather and rose.

Coldkit began to stir in the nest, he rolled around blindly. His head and nose bumping into his siblings as he tried to crawl around.

Tinyflower was asleep on her side, a gentle snore drifting from her as she twitched. Dreaming happy dreams of better times for the young queen. She instinctively pulled the little kits closer to her side, a smile spreading across her face as she dozed. Completely oblivious to the world around her, but she was the face of innocence as she snored. Her thick fur fluffed up against the cold air.
Sparkkit squeaked in surprise at the feeling of her brother bumping into her, ears flattening a little at the sensation but there was little else she could do in protest. Her paws twitching as though she was running, kneading them into Tinyflower's belly. A quiet mewling sound coming from the newborn shecat, eyes still sealed tightly shut but it wouldn't be long until they opened for the first time.

Coldkit purred as he was pulled closer to his mother, he nuzzled his head against her fluffed up fur. He eyes twitched as, like he was testing how to move his eyes lids. They opened slightly but the light and blurriness made him blink a few times, he kept his eyes opened only a little bit letting them adjust.

A little purr came from the young queen at the feel of the little tom curling close to her, resting her head beside the four kits, the smile still twitching across her lips.
Sparkkit curled closer to her brother and mother, enjoying their warmth.

Things became a little more clear for the tom kit, he could see his mother's silver fur and her face. He turned his head and saw his sisters and brother. He mewed curiously and prodded his sister Sparkkit with his nose.

Sparkkit's eyes slowly began to peel open at last when she felt her brother's prod, her own eyes too were blurry and she mewled a little at the pain at first of the brightness from the world outside. Slowly but surely her pale brown eyes came into focus and she looked around. Tilting her golden head to the side blinking slowly, she let out a little purr when she heard her mother. She didn't understand much yet, but one of the few things she knew was who her mother was.
Upon hearing her kits stir and begin to mewl, Tinyflower lifted her head blinking her eyes open with a wide yawn. At first she didn't seem to notice the fact her kits had opened their eyes, leaning down to gently lick them on top of their heads. She jumped when she saw Coldkit's light brown eyes looking back at her. She let out another loud purr, "Welcome to the world, Coldkit." She said grinning widely.

Coldkit mewled when he was licked, he stared at his mother and purred back. He crawled closer to her and curled up close. He noticed his sister looking around to and watched her for a bit.

He shifted uncomfortably for a moment , hoping he'd be alright . He seemed a bit odd , but harmless from what Barkpelt could gather . A quick sniff of the air didn't help him much since he was growing stuffy , but he couldn't say with any confidence that he'd seen this cat , or smelled him , before .
" That's ... strange , I can't say I've seen that before . But , uh ... Nice to make your acquaintance , Leaf Eye , though I can't imagine Eaglestar's going to be too thrilled to hear of strangers on our territory ... " He was about to say something else when he followed the flick of Leaf Eye's tail , his eyes narrowing curiously at the bush . What was he supposed to be looking at ? He knew the rose bushes were a bit on the uncommon side around here , but he didn't see how it warranted any special attention . Was there just something he was missing ?
" What is it ? " He asked , glancing over to the strange tom .

Sparkkit squirmed under her mother's tongue, eyes closing against her touch she tried to push her mother's muzzle away with a squeak. "Mama!" She complained, uttering her first word with a little bought of laughter.
Tinyflower quickly appeared uncomfortable when she was referred to as mama, her ears growing warm at that. "I'm Tinyflower, little one." She said, uncertain of what else to say.

Sparkkit grumbled, this time biting down on her brother's paw. Currently without teeth, she couldn't bite very hard but the effort was there. Her annoyance apparent.
Tinyflower laughed at this, pulling the pair appart and putting Coldkit closer to her stomach and Sparkkit on the other side. "A warrior already," she said with a chuckle.

He looked at Barkpelt and smiled, "Maybe they won't like me being here, but our beginnings and origins are the same I assure you." he mewed. He purred in amusement at Barkpelt, seeing the tom struggle to see. "No worries young one, though if I had to make a guess... You and your friends may want to prepare for some change in the future." He dipped his head respectfully and turned around ready to leave.

Coldkit let out a growl that sounded more like an angry purr, he tried to reach out with one of his paw to swat at his sister but then his mother pulled the two of them apart. He cuddled close to his mother and looked up at her curiously, "M-ma... Mama?" he squeaked, taking a moment to get the word out properly.

The slender queen seemed to hesitate, her eyes lighting with pain for a split second. It was a name she had never been referred to as before, and now it was it wasn't even from her own kits. She licked his muzzle softly, a gentle sigh coming from her lips. She pressed her nose into his soft, velvety fur with a gentle purr. "That's me little one," she replied, smiling.
