"Hush," the little queen whispered softly. Nosing the little kit's belly, tickling his soft underfur with a weak chuckle. She teased him gently, nothing malicious about her actions as she breathed against his round little belly. Love filling her gaze.

To catch you up a bit. Earlier in the day the queen Echoshade had her kits outside of the camp and a fox had snatched one up leaving her with 3 so theres a little ruckus going on around the camp about it, though of course not every cat knows yet. }} |

((I'm here! c: ))
Maplebreeze flinched at the sound of Echoshade's voice. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she pushed her way into the den. She only expected the worse from this confrontation. And now she'll have to face the tiny newborns as well, knowing one of them is missing. Maplebreeze took in a breath, but didn't let her eyes leave the ground as she stood now in front of the queen.
-
Marshpaw had grabbed himself a mouse from the fresh-kill pile and sat himself down to eat as the commotion went on. "I don't get it," he mumbled to himself, mouth full. "What's everyone's problem right now." Marshpaw swallowed before taking another bite out of his meal. He had overheard something about kits, which must have meant Echoshade finally had hers. It's just kits, so what? he thought. giving his tail a swish. Kits were just kits. All it meant was Marshpaw would have some competition in training sooner or later. Marshpaw scoffed to himself. More like more practice.

For a moment, the young queen had forgotten her sister by the entrance of the den, too focused on the tiny kit by her flank and carefully grooming the handsome little tom. At the sound of her voice though, the slender queen flinched, with a sigh. Using her tail to beckon her younger sister over, she said with the most welcoming voice she could manage in spite of her exhaustion and pain. "Come meet your kin."

Wintercloud to Echoshade
He stretched, waking up to the sounds of his mate talking to the kits. That was a good sign, and he blinked slowly before getting up. He nuzzled against Echoshade gently before sitting up to groom himself. "It is good to hear you laugh. How are the kits doing?" He finished grooming himself and started on her, careful to avoid the injuries. "And how is your pain?"

Flinching at his touch, the pain still present from her aching form but she appreciated his comforting touch. She swiped her tongue across his ear with a little purr. "They seem to be growing stronger already," she said with a purr, watching Pinekit squirm closer to her frame. Regarding her sister with a flick of her eyes, waiting in silence for a reply, nervous. She didn't reply to the question regarding her own pain, her eyes quickly flickering from her mates.

Maplebreeze hesitated for a moment. As she approached, she heard the mewls of the kits grow louder. The she-cat couldn't help but feel guilt rush through her. They lay beside their mother's belly in such comfort and safety, and it only made her feel worse. Maplebreeze didn't know what to say. She only stood and silently gazed at the squirming bundles of fur. Her eyes never met Echoshade's nor Wintercloud's.

"Maplebreeze," the young queen said with a sigh. Carefully detaching herself from the squirming kits, ignoring their tiny mewls of protest when her warmth left them. She pressed herself against her younger sister with a gentle purr. "It wasn't your fault, it was mine. Please, don't blame yourself," she said with a quiet but pained voice. Her eyes wide with both sadness and pity.

{ Sparrowpaw }
Sparrowpaw woke up with a start, she'd had a dream of running in the trees that ended as she slipped off a branch. Her heart was still racing, but as she glanced she began to calm herself down. She stood up and shook off her pelt, getting rid of the little bits of moss and leaves that had stuck to her fur. There didn't seem to be many apprentices in the den, and she began to wonder if training had already started. She darted out of the apprentice den and into the daylight, skidding to a stop suddenly as she heard voices. After a few blinks her eyes finally adjusted and she was able to see Tawnypaw and Brookpaw. "Hey guys!" Sparrowpaw chirped happily. She'd already forgotten about her dream of falling. { Sootfeather } Sootfeather had spent the better part of the day fixing up his nest, he'd been meaning to do it for but never seemed to have the time. He liked staying in camp and keeping the dens in shape, but when it came to his own nest he dreaded it. Sootfeather had a bad habit of using a very specific patch of moss for his nest, a patch that was a ways from camp. It'd taken him a much longer time to do than he'd expected, but he was glad to have it finally crossed it off his list. He walked back into camp and stretched, enjoying the warmth of the sun. He noticed Splashfire a short distance away and padded towards Splashfire. "Hello," he said. { Sunhawk } Sunhawk padded towards camp with a few small mice from her hunting trip. She'd spent more time than she'd meant gathering enough plump mice. She was excited for how many kits there were in the nursery, it felt like it'd been moons since the nursery had been that full. Sunhawk wanted to make sure the queens had plenty of eat, and had probably gone a little overboard with hunting. She was sporting three plump mice and two scrawnier ones. She wasn't happy with the two small ones, but she figured it was better to have more. Usually she'd let the smaller ones go in hope they'd plump up for the next time they met, but usually she'd never see them again.

Brookpaw nearly grumbled at the noise her den-mate made on her way out of the den. Brookpaw then tried stuffing her nose deeper into her fluffy tail, trying hard to fall back into asleep. Her eyes fluttered open, and she let out a defeated sigh. The tabby she-cat got to her paws, shaking off a small clump of moss that clung to her pelt. She perked up, noticing Tawnypaw sat at the entrance of the den, So that's who woke me up I bet. She haughtily thought to herself. "Morning, Tawnypaw." She mewed as she padded out of the den. Tawnypaw turned around, noticing Brookpaw there. "Good morning, Brookpaw!" The she-cat mewed, curling her tail around her paws. She looked over, noticing Sparrowpaw, too. "Sparrowpaw!" She glanced from one to the other. "How're you both?" |

Wintercloud to Open
The tom gave a sympathetic blink to Maplebreeze before quietly exiting the nursery to give them some privacy. He stretched in the light and slowly made his way over to the fresh-kill pile. He hadn't eaten anything since the morning before, but he would wait until Echoshade had eaten before he would go and hunt. And if he happened to see a fox, he might just have to kill it. Depends on what he came across. He glanced around the camp, wondering who all had heard the news.

Maplebreeze let her tail droop. "But it was my fault," she whispered with a crack in her voice. The she-cat gaze still hadn't left the kits. "Echoshade I..." Her voice cut off as her whiskers trembled. It was obvious she was trying to keep herself from crying. "I could have saved your kit. I could have caught up to that fox. But..." Maplebreeze sunk to the floor in a sitting position and let her head fall. "I'm sorry..."

Watching her mate leave with sad eyes, she flicked her ears at him as he went and then returned her attention to the younger shecat before him. Shaking her head, tears bright in her gaze. She choked on her words but managed to get them out, "Quietkit was dead the minute that fox picked him up, he was so little," she whispered tears forming in her own eyes. "The bite broke his neck, there was nothing to save." She stammered weakly on her words, eyes on her paws.

{ Sparrowpaw }
Sparrowpaw hopped towards Tawnypaw and Brookpaw, settling down beside them in a patch of sunlight. She glanced around camp, watching as warriors walked about. She noticed Marshpaw not far away, but turned her attention back to Tawnypaw as she spoke.
"I'm doing good!" Sparrowpaw said. "I'm excited to go train or go on patrol, I want to try out a new battle move I learned the other day!"
{ Sunhawk }
Sunhawk walked into camp slowly, letting her gaze search the camp. She noticed the apprentices talking first, and then Wintercloud. Sunhawk wasn't always great at reading emotions, but he seemed off. She set the mice down and chose two of the plump mice to bring to Wintercloud.
"Have you or Echoshade eaten yet?" She asked { Sootfeather }
"So far," Sootfeather admitted. He appreciated tedious work, it kept his mind busy. He took a seat not far from Splashfire and flicked his ear as he heard the other cats around him. "How about yourself? I'm surprised you're still awake, dawn patrols always make me tired." Sootfeather was usually more of a morning person, but the dawn patrol was still too early for him to be fully awake. |

Marshpaw just huffed. "Yeah, so what?" he said, raising his chin. "It's my right to complain, not like you don't." The apprentice took another bite of his mouse as if to make a point. "Do you know what's going on?"
he asked, giving a quick glance towards the nursery. "I saw Echoshade had her kits, so I guess that's a big deal or something."
-
"You don't know that..." Maplebreeze said. She knew it was possible. Of course it was. The fox was strong and the kit was so tiny but still. Her ears flattened with shame as she replayed the memory in her head for the umteenth time. "There could have been a chance," the she-cat continued, slowly moving her gaze to the kits once again. "I could have at least tried, Echoshade."

A sigh ripped from her throat, eyes closing as she struggled to shake the picture from her own head a frown etched into her silver grey face. Eyes dancing across the forms of her sleeping kits, missing her youngest son before she had even had the chance to get to know the tiny kit. "It was my fault for putting us all in that situation," she said firmly after a moment. "Only I should take the blame."

((lol Same .w. It's ironic how their names are opposite too; Brooks are usually clean flowing water and marshes are dirty and muddy water))
"You had a reason," Maplebreeze retorted, shaking her head. "You wanted to go out. I should have said no, or at the very least protected you better! I could've said hey, let's go back to camp!" She scoffed, a harsh grin tugging at the corner of her mouth. "If I wouldn't have chased that stupid rabbit, maybe I'd be paying more attention." Maplebreeze cursed herself in her mind. She was so focused on cheering up Echoshade that she didn't focus on her safety. What kind of warrior was she if she couldn't even scent a fox right around the corner? I could have prevented all of this.
-
Marshpaw grinned, puffed his chest. "Well of course everyone was excited when I was born," he said proudly. "I was a gift." The tom sneered and looked at Brookpaw with smugness written all over his tabby face. "Yeah, so what, other kits were born. Just more mouths to feed and hunt for. They can't even do it themselves!" Marshpaw lifted his chin in the air, smirking as he thought of something funny. Well, to him anyway. "It just seems like you have to make new kits exciting to make your own birth important, Brookpaw."

The kits beside her began to mewl, sensing how distressed their mother was and instinctually getting nervous even at their young age. Frowning the slender shecat turned from her sister to check on the newborns, sniffing them carefully. She licked them over the ears before returning her attention to her younger sister with a heavy sigh. Pain lighting her dark blue eyes, she looked at her sister with a frown.
"I knew how soon my kits were due, I should have thought logically and stayed in camp. I could have killed all four of them with my foolishness."

{{ Ashclaw Alright :3c Feel free to hop in!}}
Brookpaw looked very taken a-back for a few moments. She wasnt exactly too offended, just unsure out how to respond to the tom. The tabby she-cat just rolled her eyes, "You better watch your tongue, furball." She said, taking her first bite out of the vole she had picked out. "Or else our next battle practice is going to suck. For you." She snickered at him.

[Ok, I'm at the large oak if anyone wants to RP]
Ash padded his way over the large roots. Knotted wood, and soft moss was brushed by calluosed pads as the large cat made his way over them. If he was right, then other cats typically came through here, mostly from the camp that was near here. He had been watching them for a while now, and today he was going to ask to join. Finding a nook in the roots, the Maine Coon curled up in preparation for a long wait.
