The slender queen's eyes darkened a shade, sadness apparent in her every movement when the question was asked. Morningflight lowered her head, looking away she said in a quiet voice. "I lost one of them," she said with grief etched into her face. Forcing herself to sit upright again, biting back the tears which stung and blurred her vision. She looked away. "That's why I'm here, the little thing needs to be buried, and I cant bear to not be there. I wondered if you would keep an eye on the kits whilst I'm gone. I'll try not to be too long," she said with a hoarse voice. Mossheart felt her chest ache for the queen as she heard the sorrow lace her voice. She looked tired and almost defeated by the loss of her kit; the Windclanner couldn't exactly relate, so she briefly thought of herself losing Whorlkit and having to face his burial. Her heart dropped like a stone and she understood. "I'm so sorry, Morningflight..." she mewed, moving forward to press her nose to the queen's forhead. "It would be my pleasure to watch them, Morningflight; you deserve to see the little one off," she mewed, offering a supportive smile. The queen had been the only one to offer her own help in this time of need for Whorlkit, where other queens staunchly refused, coiling their kits closer to their bellies in fear. It was a welcome change, and one that Mossheart appreciated. She allowed herself to calm down, feeling her heart rate turn back to normal.
Flurryfoot didn't look quite as herself, and appeared a bit dead-pan in the nursery. Mossheart felt a little off put by the change in demeanor; the medicine cat never really appeared that way. At her worst, she looked frazzled, eyes wide with panic and stress, and at her best, she was a generally cheerful cat who's whiskers would twitch at every joke. It was obvious that something large was on her mind but Mossheart was too terrified, almost, to try and figure out just what that was. The gray calico spoke with light words, however, unable to defeat the welcoming and cheerful tone to her voice, "I'm not quite willing to move the kits out of the medicine den yet... they're unfortunately very weak at the moment, but I expect them to reach their full strength as newborns within a few days. You'll have to relocate to my den, Mossheart." With a furry swish of her tail, Flurryfoot turned heel and strode out of the den; the gray warrior stood a little dumbfounded at the interaction, feeling awkward about the whole situation.
The Windclanner looked a little nervously at Morningflight, and let out an awkward chuckle. She did her best to reassure the queen further as she stood to her own paws. "I'm very happy that you and the kits seem to be doing well, despite everything that's happened," she offered, hoping that the conversation could steer away from the seeming hostility that had exuded off of the medicine cat. "You know, despite Shadowclan having been... much worse off than the rest of us... at least you have plenty of young kits for your clan. Wasn't there another Shadowclan queen that escaped?" she asked Morningflight, stooping down to grab Whorlkit gently in her jaws. The kit let out a soft whine at the change, and his eyes blearily peered open and glanced at the other cats in the nursery. He otherwise seemed to remain asleep; perhaps on the edge of that boundary, as he wasn't particularly comfortable enough to sleep again.

Morningflight leant down to rasp Whorlkit between the ears gently, watching the sleeping kit with an attempt at a smile on her expression. She looked to the medicine cat, watching her swift exit with a dejected manner she returned to her paws to follow. "Thank you, Mossheart, you have no idea how grateful I am for this."

((Honestly? I love this dynamic between Yellowstar, Beesplash and Flurryfoot; I want to feel like Yellowstar always tried to run from them when he got in trouble even before the fire tbh. He probably does the same thing with Morningflight.))
Flurryfoot's strode back to her den with as much gumption as she could, finally noticing Beesplash and Yellowstar half-bickering in front of it. "Great," she sarcastically thought, feeling her emerald eyes creep slowly up the leader's massive form, before doing the same with Beesplash. As much as she didn't want to talk to him, she knew that it had to be coming up. She felt a soft brush of pride as she caught a couple words of the deputy's, chiding him for his hasty behavior. Flurryfoot realized, however, that she'd have to be careful with how she spoke for now... the kits were Shadowclan kits and that could be the only thing that she could know. Beesplash was a smart cat and a brilliant choice for deputy because of it... it wouldn't take more than a few accidental words to get her on the right trail. Flurryfoot would have been surprised if she wasn't already suspicious of the tom's behavior.
Why in Starclan was she hiding it anyway? That brief thought struck her like a mild spark. It would hurt the clans more if the secret was kept hidden... then again, perhaps it was best for now that most cats just assumed that Riverclan wanted control, as opposed to Windclan and Shadowclan being a mere second thought to his illegitimate kin. She sighed lightly and gave Beesplash a curt nod in greeting. She spoke lightly to the deputy, "Don't let him go anywhere," quickly passing the pair and disappearing into the den. She adjusted the nest in preparation for Mossheart to be comfortable and moved the moss and feathers off of the top of the kits. She was already expecting the wild protests from the small creatures, eyes closed and ears folded, unaware of how desperately loud they were squealing. Her heart warmed a bit at the sight of them.
----
Mossheart murmured a soft, "No problem," through her mouthful of curly fur, padding tiredly through the den and out into the Riverclan camp. She gave Morningflight a hopeful look, trying to convey somehow that she still felt in debt to the new mother for what she had done for her and Whorlkit. She was, however still trying to beat out some sleep from her eyes and hoped that she didn't give her a weird look. She was going to fall asleep immediately after getting to the nest, that was sure...
The leader and deputy of Riverclan were near the entrance, but she didn't pay them much mind, nor the words that Flurryfoot had said as she tentatively padded into the den after dilute calico. She made room for Morningflight to come in as well, aware of how wildly small the medicine den was with three fullgrown cats and four kits. Mossheart suddenly felt a touch awkward as she rested her eyes on the kits; was she... just supposed to lay down with them now? She thought she might squish their tiny bodies if she so much as moved in her sleep. Instead of tackling that issue now, she set Whorlkit down at her paws; the tom-kit sat up lazily as she did it, kind of staring dazed off at the wall of the medicine den and swaying back and forth, as if dipping in and out of consciousness. He wasn't really registering anything right now, including the wriggling and squealing kits. Mossheart almost laughed at him; he was really adorable when dead tired.
She turned lightly to Morningflight. "What are their names?" she asked gently, offering a small smile.

Morningflight lowered herself to the ground exhaustedly, wrasping her tongue over their tiny bodies. Nuzzling them deep into the nest and tucking the feathers and moss around them, her eyes flickering with worry as she straightened herself. Eyes struggling to tear themselves away from their sleeping forms, tears trickling in her dark eyes but she forced them away at last. Though she didn't want to leave them, part of her knew that at the very least they would be safe with the Windclan warrior.
Tucking the tiny Whorlkit alongside her own newborns, she licked the little tom before looking up. Smiling as best as she could, she twitched her tail from kit to kit and replied quietly. "Thunderkit, Pinekit and Harekit," she meowed quietly watching them in silence.
At the sound of his name, Thunderkit let out a little mewl and curled closer to the much larger tom kit, enjoying his warmth but not making much noise.

((Oh noooooo they're so cute!!! >.< ))
Whorlkit made no complaints about the queen tucking him into place; he had fallen asleep sitting up and it was no fur off his back to adjust to a more comfortable position. He became faintly aware of the small form that had pressed against his side and his mind conjured images of his own siblings as they tucked into their mother's fur for the night; it wouldn't be until he awoke that he'd find it to be Thunderkit.
Mossheart was reassured when the queen took her place in the nest with her kits, also glad that she had not awkwardly laid down right away with them. That would have been awfully uncomfortable, and her skin flushed warm just at the thought of it. Morningflight likely wanted a bit of time with them before she had to bury the kit who had passed.
Mossheart's pale green eyes lit up as she heard the names, feeling deep wound in her spirit open up. She tried to not choke up at the queen's gentle heart. "Those names... they're wonderful..." she breathed, caught up in emotion. "Why am I hurting so much..." she wondered thickly, feeling her heart clench. "They're the future; they have perfect names." The words she spoke were shaky as she thought of her lost friends and family... she wasn't even sure if she still had anyone left who was truly close to her anymore. She did her best to calm herself, and took a couple deep breaths. Her and Shadowclan's home, and the entirety of Thunderclan were gone, consumed in the fiery maw of disaster; that much was sure. It had shook her whole world view to the core and everything she knew had been upset, turned on it's tail. Despite all this, she was sure of one thing.
Life refused to die out; it carried on.

Pressing her nose into their fur one final time, the queen made sure they were tucked up carefully in the warmth of the nest before lifting herself from beside the pile of kits and straightened herself. Watching them one final moment, tears lighting up her gaze before she turned to the shecat. "I will forever be in your debt, thankyou so much for looking after them," she meowed quietly. Eyes dancing over the small sleeping forms of her newborn, and the sleeping Whorlkit, a smile almost etching onto her young expression, but it didn't quite break through the grief. Dragging her eyes away from the kits, she looked to the medicine cat with a level of caution, uncertain of the way she now carried herself but she tried to push past the nerves.
"Shall we go?"

Flurryfoot had remained silent as the two she-cats conversed, her own mind swarming as she sorted a couple things in her storage. She barely heard the profuse gratitude from the queen as the Windclanner assured her that it was alright. The medicine cat was pretty tuned out, however. "I just have to get him alone to ask what he was thinking... that will take forever with all the events going around... at least Nighttail and Flamerose will be out of the camp tomorrow and they won't be stirring up a fuss. Oh! Lichenpaw gathered herbs with Wolffang; thank Starclan for those two, I'll have to do something nice for them... ugh, look at all the cobwebs; they're just filthy with soot... well, they should still be-" she jolted out of her thoughts and back into the world.
The gray calico lifted her head as Morningflight spoke and she stared for a moment, face deadpanned. She shook herself of her erratic thoughts and gave the Shadowclan queen a light smile; she looked a little nervous and Flurryfoot had a deep suspicion that it was because of her markedly different behavior since the meeting. "Yes, of course," she purred comfortingly, "Would you want to carry Pebblekit, or should I? Or..." she managed to halt herself before she could say her leader's name and just left the fragment of her sentence to hang in the aether, hoping that the she-cat might catch her drift.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Windclanner almost hesitantly settle in next to the tiny kits, her balance precarious and gentle with her green eyes a touch wide as she focused. The gray tabby finally managed to curl up next to the small kits and she tightly wrapped her tail around them, still looking a little worried about how she was positioned.
She turned to nervously laugh at the other cats, blinking her eyes cheerfully. "There, all settled!"

A little squeak tore from the little tom kit at the sudden presence of a stranger beside him, at first he didn't seem entirely certain as to what was happening. The little kit hesitated, trying to suss out whether or not to trust this new scent which certainly wasn't his mother's. Then after a moment, he pressed forward, nuzzling deep into her fur and tucking himself against her warmth. He let out a little mewl when he was unable to find milk, but quickly settled down into a contented sleep.
Morningflight had the fallen kit in her jaws before the medicine cat had been able to finish her sentence, sitting up she looked at the medicine cat with grief ridden eyes. She was grateful to her that she chose not to say Yellowstar's name outloud. Her grip on the newborn was delicate yet absolute, she would let no one touch the kit until it was time to lay her to rest.

((TODAY HAS BEEN CRAZY I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE))
Mossheart visibly shifted in the nest as the kit cried out, looking up and Morningflight and Flurryfoot to make sure she hadn't done anything wrong. She recieved a light chuckle from the medicine cat, and felt the kit settle down and into her fur. That was reassuring; she could do this, she reminded herself. She lifted her head to the departing cats and bid them farewell, "Best of luck; I hope you can find peace."
Flurryfoot smiled as the she-cat grabbed her limp kit by its scruff, gently holding it in her jaws. She realized that it was a stupid question for her to ask; of course Morningflight would want to carry her own kit. The medicine cat dipped her head in farewell to Mossheart, and strode out of the medicine den to meet Yellowstar, hoping that Beesplash had kept him in place.

>> Ooc << >> RP << Mistyheart has been quite down lately since she had lost her only two best friends and her only surviving family member, her chest was now at a small dull ache almost back to normal. But her heart was shattered, she laid in a shaded spot camp gazing at nothing, gazing at the activity that's going on in the camp, and now hearing that Yellowstar wants to join clan's. Do we have enough space, I quite like my leg room i have in the warriors den. She didn't have any answers which made her more unnerved. She saw where yellowstar was coming from but she didn't know if right now is the right time, he had brought it up way to soon. She sighed licking her paw and running it behind her ear, wishing she didn't have to be in pain alone.

>> Ooc << >> RP << At first Mistyheart, hesitated when the tom came and sat by her. Her heart began to pound slowly at first, his mew almost scared her. She jumped slight and moved a mouse length away from the tom. But she had to agree with the tom, she only hoped that descrution didn't come from this. "I-I agree with you on that." She mewed blankly although her voice was kinda nervous.

But I'm here! I really should stop hogging the characters so you all can RP freely xD I'll respond to everyone in just a sec. And I wish I could've said farewell to Moon too.~ They were fun to RP with.
I guess I'll have to figure out what to do about the ShadowClan medicine cat. Hmmm. «

((No worries, Air! I'm pretty happy with where this role play is going, so waiting for well thought out responses when people aren't busy is no skin off of my back! I hope everything else is working out well for you!
I thought that maybe we could put Moon's characters up for adoption? We could either let someone new claim them, or let someone already here claim them. Although that would break our one-major-character rule...))
We need more toms; here are more toms.))
Hazelpaw | Tom | 8 moons | Riverclan apprentice | Bisexual Hazelpaw is a brown tabby with light, cream fur covering his muzzle and chest and bold black mackerel stripes that layer his sides. He is a grumpy, unwelcoming little fleabag, to put things nicely and heavily dislikes the presence of the other clans in his territory. This stems from his youth, as his parents raised him to frown upon and refuse relationships between cats of foreign clans. As such, this makes him extremely resentful and spiteful of Yellowstar's plan for unity. Of course, as an 8 moon old apprentice, your name or word doesn't carry much weight in your clan, so he's just a bitter little bug about it, but he's sure to make it known. The tom, overall, remains unchanged about the entire disaster; Hazelpaw continues to be a sarcastic, stoic stickler for the rules, much like his parents before him. Dagegen5
Larkstep | Tom | 17 moons | Windclan Warrior | Straight A long, lanky tom with an off-white coat and pale red lynx points on his tail, paws, face and ears. Some of the red-tabby markings show through on his flank and his muzzle is marred by a couple white points. He is a very young warrior, made a warrior only two moons prior to the fire, and his inexperience has shown throughout the time period. He's generally a happy cat, if not a little boastful and conceited about himself, but he's not a terrible person to get along with. Larkstep's heart contains good intentions and does his best to please everyone he can. He wants to be helpful with the disaster at hand, but the young tom is not doing very well; he is resigned to the gathering island with severe smoke inhalation, doing his best just to get by.
