Bramblestar stood beside Willowmist watching Petalfoot and the tom warily.
The tom narrowed his eyes. "A queen? You mean a nurser yeah?" he turned his head, his ears hot as he flattened them and looked away from Petalfoot. "I know someone" he finally mumbled.

Willowmist listened as Petalfoot gained her confidence to speak to the tom. She watched as the tom seem listened to her. When he meowed that he finally knew a she-cat, Willowmist's whiskers twitched with happiness.

The tom jumped down on the other side of the red twoleg place. Bramblestar hesitated not knowing what was on the other side, but shook it off and hopped up onto the ledge. She nodded her head to Petalfoot to follow first and go ahead before waving her tail to Willowmist, Brightfall, and Rainsong to stay close to her as they followed the tom.

Willowmist was slow to follow Bramblestar, she was frighten by the mystery on the other side. But she followed her leader anyways.

(hey guys! sorry, i’ve been busy!)
Rainsong followed the black tom as he led the way, her every sense listening and looking for any sign of trouble. The last thing she wanted was to run into some two-legs. She decided to pipe up and ask, “How far away is she? The queen— er, nurser.”

Bramblestar watched warily as the black tom hopped from the ledge to land softly in some pale yellow hay. He shook out his fur as he padded towards an arrangement of wood (ladder for understanding sake) that led up to a loft area overflowing with more hay. Bramblestar scented the air, catching the scent of other cats up above.

(Sorry guys, I fell asleep!) Petalfoot felt relief wash over her as the tom lead the way towards the queen, “Thank you, you don’t know how much this means to me- I mean to us”

(You're all good Raven ) The tom looked back at her as he continued to climb to the top of the loft. Bramblestar followed and upon reaching the top her eyes widened seeing the black and white she-cat nursing 3 small kittens. Looking at them closely, they seemed to have been born no more than a couple sunrises ago.

Petalfoot purred with delight when she saw the queen and her kits. She looked at the black tom her eyes warm, “Thank you, what is your name?”

The tom's yellow eyes flashed as he looked at Petalfoot. He paused before answering. "It's Coal" he mumbled, flattening his ears. The she-cat's eyes held the same yellow color, lightning up as she saw the clan cats. Turning her head to Coal she shuffled her paws excitedly. "Coal! Who are these cats? Are they passing through? Do they need anything?". She began to get up happily greet the clan cats before Coal rushed over to keep her laying down. "Hey you keep resting" he hissed at her, eyeing the kits to ensure they were ok.

Petalfoot padded forward and waved her tail in greeting, “In fact we do need help,” she glanced at Coal and then over to the queen, “There’s a kit in need of milk...her mother is barely alive and doesn’t seem like she’ll make it”

Coal eyed Petalfoot suspiciously. "What and you want my sister to take the kit? She already has her paws full with three" he hissed rudely.
The queen glared at her brother. "Coal our mother raised five of us. I could handle another and we shouldn't just leave a kit in need" she insisted.
Coal turned to glare at his sister. "Just in these past few days I've had to remind you to lay down and actually feed them multiple times. You barely function Snow"

Petalfoot took a few steps forward, “We can help! One of us can stay and help, right Bramblestar?” She gazed softly at Coal, “It’s honorable of you to protect your sister but this kit needs us, all of us” her eyes filled with emotion, “I will hunt for Snow and for you if need be, I can watch the kittens” Petalfoot hung her head, “Please...”

Coal's eyes softened for a bit. As he was about to respond, another tom hissed as he sprang onto the loft. "What are you doing here? This our barn and our food" he snarled. Bramblestar sprang back to stand beside Petalfoot as she looked over the new tom. This one was bigger and more muscular than the lean Coal. His pelt was dark brown with flecks of ginger, black, and white running down his back and tail. His amber eyes glared at the clan cats as he turned to snarl at Coal who gave him an annoyed look. "They're not stealing food Grunt" he assured the angry tom in a bored tone.

Tigerstripe nodded to Shrewface,”Sounds great to me, who else will accompany us?” He asked. He looked around the camp for any cats moseying around. “Should we bring an apprentice?”
Spottedpaw exited the apprentices den with an old ball of moss, she had just cleaned out their den. She laid the bedding down and mumbled to herself as she disposed of it. “Jeez Skypaw, do you even make time to groom yourself.” She laughed.

Smokewind greeted Spottedpaw with a dip of his head. "I remember back when I had to clean the apprentice's den. Still as fun as those days?" he asked happily, a subtle lace of playful sarcasm in his voice.

“Oh, sooo much fun!” She answered sarcastically. “But as long as it means I’ll be closer to becoming a warrior then it’s worth every second, even if Skypaw has the smelliest bedding in the camp!” She joked, then purred,”Aww it’s really not bad, there’s only two of us now.”

Willowmist watched the new tom, her claws unsheathed and dung into the wood underneath her paws. Something about this tom made her uneasy, but she dared not to let her fur bristle.

Grunt let his fur lie flat as he padded past Snow to eat the mouse he’d brought with him. Coal glared at the tom with annoyance, eyeing him and the kits before turning back to Petalfoot. “That’s Snow’s mate”

Petalfoot kept her body relaxed to make sure she didn’t pose as a threat to the newcomer, “Hello, my name is Petalfoot” she dipped her head in greeting. Her pelt prickled with curiosity at the way these cats lived, “Do you all live here? Is there other cats with you?”

Shrewface nodded to the striped warrior, “Yes, Spottedpaw!” He called his apprentice over his tail twitching with impatience, “Let’s go!”

Coal shook his head. "It's just me, my sister, and her mate. Oh and my sister's kits". Coal seemed to glare at Grunt from across the loft before turning back to the clan cats. Snow seemed to keep glancing at Grunt as her kits laid by her stomach. Grunt scratched his ear and yawned as he moved to the back corner of the loft and laid down to sleep. Coal grunted a bit, but there was no response from Grunt as the large tom dozed off.

Spottedpaw waved her tail at Shrewface and lowered her voice so her mentor wouldn't hear,"Well I'd better see what Shrewface wants. He seems a little grumpy" She raised her voice back to normal,"But I guess I'll see ya' around Smokewind!" She then trotted up to where her mentor and Tigerstripe were, dipping her head politely. "A patrol?" She asked excitedly.
Tigerstripe nodded to the apprentice. "I'm ready when you two are. Maybe Smokewind would like to go?" He somewhat asked and told Shrewface. I know he's in charge now, but he is still a young warrior. He thought to himself, his tail flicking slightly, he couldn't shake the little voice in his head saying no cat would fully trust him because he was a loner, not born into the clan. He tried to push it away, I've been here since I was 9 moons old, why do I keep thinking this way..

Shrewface gave Tigerstripe a side glance before nodding in agreement, “Yes, but I also don’t want to leave the camp unguarded” he looked up and called over to Sootshine, “Wanna keep a look out?” He made sure his tone was respectful as he addressed the older warrior
Petalfoot caught the glances between all the cats then lowered her voice to Coal, “Is everything alright? I mean with him” she flicked her tail over at Grunt

Coal shook his head. "Grunt doesn't really help with the kits, nor do I think he cares much for them" the black tom said in a low voice. "My sister as you've seen is a bit flighty so as much as she loves the kits, she blindly lets Grunt get away with treating her poorly because she has his kits". Coal kept glaring at the now asleep tom and sighed. "You see we also have twolegs who come in here regularly. Grunt is technically their cat, but Snow and I were just passing through and staying temporarily until my sister got pregnant..." he trailed off.

Sootshine dipped her head. "Of course Shrewface" she purred.
Smokewind bounded up to the patrol, smiling as he joined them.

Petalfoot stared at Grunt reproachfully, “Come with us” she meowed softly. She didn’t know these cats but she trusted them as if she’s known them her whole life, especially Coal.
Shrewface stood up and began to head towards the entrance his tail held high, making sure to keep pace with his clan mates.

Coal moved closer to the she-cat before stopping. "I-I can't. We don't know each other and I can't leave Snow. She's my only littermate left, and her kits are my kin" he hissed, stalking back to his sister to sit beside her and look at the three helpless kits next to her, staring at one in particular that looked a lot like Grunt.

» BRIGHTFALL
Brightfall was cautiously frozen in place. He didn't make a move to speak, afraid of Coal and Grunt and utterly unsure why Bramblestar decided to come to here. He only padded after his leader like he was supposed to, his anxiety all the more real. Likewise, he thought he was probably the most useless cat on the quest.
» SKYPAW
"I see! Why does the moss grow all over this particular tree, Sootshine?" He asked, curiosity lighting his gaze. "This is so weird! Where would we gather moss aside from this Moss-laced tree? Sootshine?" Skypaw assumed that she went back to camp, and dashed off in another direction. Maybe he'd get the moss himself! Wouldn't that be a brave move? However, he did worry.
