Willowstorm noticed the affection in Kestrelclaw's eyes and was reminded, once again, of how much she loved him. She was the more open and warmer of the pair, but she felt that Kestrelclaw's personality helped balance her out. They were a good match and she could only hope that their kits grew to be a good mix of their parents. Once she heard Kestrelclaw's answer, she nodded to Spiderblossom. "That would be really nice actually. I'd love to get out of here and stretch my legs," she said. She turned back to Kestrelclaw. "And it's been much too long since I've went out hunting." She turned back to the other queen. "You know they can be a handful though. If they become too much, feel free to send someone out to find us," she said. It wasn't that she doubted the other queen' abilities to be a mother, she just knew her kits were a lot to handle. Fogkit shook his head. "No! Fogstar. And you can be my loyal deputy, Misty... uh...." he paused to think of a warrior name for his sister. "Mistystorm!" he said, copying Willowstorm's name. "Or Mistyfly. Cause you're annoying. Like a fly," he said, explaining himself more than necessary. Though he claimed Mistykit annoyed him, he loved his sister and playing with her. He rolled over so that he was on top, pinning her to the ground. The two were pretty evenly matched when t came to wrestling and it often switched who was on top and who was on the ground. aether

Spiderblossom turned herself so she was able to see the pair a little easier and chuckled in response, βIβm sure we wont burn the nursery to the ground in the short time it takes for you to hunt,β she said with a grin looking to the swell of her own stomach twitching her ears as she felt the kits inside shift and kick. βIll ask Gorseflight, see if he has a little free time to help, I havenβt seen him in a while,β she admitted a little more quietly.

Littlepaw nodded as he listened to the older cats talk. "I'd be willing to help too," he added in, looking down at Mistykit and Fogkit with interest. He wasn't much bigger than the kits and would even be able to play with them without hurting them. When he heard Spiderblossom mention Gorseflight, he nodded. "Gorseflight helped me out yesterday by collecting some herbs. I'm sure he'll have no problem making time for you," he said. He knew that the warrior was constantly working hard to prove that he's just as good as the clanborn warriors, but the tom loved spending time with Spiderblossom. The two had spent less time together since Spiderblossom had moved into the nursery, but that wasn't surprising. Gorseflight had to keep up with his duties and popped into the nursery to say hi whenever he could.

Spiderblossom managed a smile as she looked back at the medicine cat apprentice with a weak sounding chuckle. It made it no less lonely sometimes, as much as she loved the tom she called her mate. She let out a heavy sigh, thinking for a moment as to what to say next. "I'm sure he's busy, I understand," she said quietly. Though the sadness to her tone was apparent for anyone who took the time to notice it. Since moving to the nursery the queen had been unable to shake the feeling of isolation as the date on which her kits were due grew ever closer, and it did little to help her nerves about bringing kits into the world and becoming a mother. "You're welcome to go," she added turning to Willowstorm and Kestrelclaw, "I honestly don't mind looking after Mistykit and Fogkit for a while." [/sub] [/p]

"Thank you again, Spiderblossom," Willowstorm said. "It'll be nice to get a break and go hunting eith kestrelclaw again." There was excitement in her eyes as she glanced towards Kestrelclaw. It'd been much too long since she'd had a break. She didn't think she'd had a break from her kits since they were born. While she loved them more than anything, it would be nice to go out and enjoy the fresh air with her mate. Plus, hunting was a thrill and Willowstorm hadn't had anything exciting happen for moons. In fact, the only exciting thing to happen since moving into the nursery was the birth of Fogkit and Mistykit.
"I'll tell them to be on their best behavior," she promised. She looked down at her kits as they wrestled before turning back to Kestrelclaw to talk to him.
Littlepaw was clearly excited as he watched Spiderblossom and Willowstorm interact. "I'm glad to see you guys get along," he said. The Warriors den had many cats. The nursery only had two right now (if you didn't could Mistykit and Fogkit) and it would be much more lonely if they didn't get along. He'd made it a point to come visit every day when Willowstorm had been the only cat in the nursery. When she moved in, Spiderblossom had still been a warrior and her kits obviously hadn't been born. Willowstorm had had nothing to do except lay around all day and hope someone came to talk to her. Littlepaw had been that someone, coming everyday to keep the queen mentally stimulated and social. Of course, she'd also emerged from the nursery occasionally and interact with others.

Kestrelclaw nodded his head, then dipped his head to Spiderblossom in appreciation. "Thank you, Spiderblossom. It'll be nice for Willowstorm to get out and stretch her legs for a bit," he meowed. He looked back to his mate and purred softly. "We can see who can catch the most squirrels," he joked. He wasn't the best hunter for squirrels, usually they were too quick to disappear in tree branches for him to follow. Pigeons were a bit different, they were fat and stupid, so they could be stalked better - then when they tried to escape, Kestrelclaw leaped up with his muscular legs to catch them.
Mistykit's pelt fluffed up more than it already was when Fogkit teased her. She stamped her paws defiantly, "If I'm Mistyfly, you're Frog-brain!" She squeaked. She batted at her brother, and nipped softly at his tail. That was until Kestrelclaw bent down and gave her a lick on the forehead, then one to Fogkit.
"Calm down you too - don't get too worked up." He chuckled.

FROSTPAW | Small Park | Doveheart
Frostpaw had been scared and nervous enough even in his short lifetime thus far to recognise the signs of another cat's fear, and Doveheart's slight trembling didn't go unnoticed. he noted that she was trying to hide it though, and considering he had already been scared out of his mind today, it didn't really change how he currently felt. So he paid no notice to it, following his mentor quietly down the tree. He had always felt that a healthy amount of fear was useful in the environment lived it; it kept them alert, and therefore more likely to notice potential threats in the area. Of course, his mind often liked to take that a step too far, moving into simple paranoia.
He gripped the squirrel in his mouth, the excitement from earlier having faded considerably. As he followed Doveheart on the way back to camp, Frostpaw glanced worriedly at her ear. He could see blood - and a lot of it at that; he only hoped that it looked worse than it really was. He could see that she gradually grew more confident the further they walked, but he was still sure to keep a watchful eye out for any potential threats. She had protected him when that dog had been after him, so now that she was injured, he wanted to return the favour and watch over her - though whether he could truly help her with his inexperience was debatable.

Only smiling in response as the pair left, she followed them with a twitch of her orange dappled ears a chuckle lighting her expression before turning her attention to her charges for the evening. Watching them play in silence for an amused moment, she looked to Littlepaw with a widening grin. "I do wonder where that mousebrain of mine has actually gone," she added with a chuckle. Wishing her mate would see her as often as Kestrelclaw seemed to come see his mate and kits. It left her feeling awfully lonely on occasion, as selfish as she felt it made her sound.

She had protected him when that dog had been after him, so now that she was injured, he wanted to return the favour and watch over her - though whether he could truly help her with his inexperience was debatable.
(aether ) Doveheart's body began to relax more as they the camp came into view. It was then that she imagined her sisters response to seeing her bloodied ear and she almost felt like turning back around and never going back. Snowfeather had to be one of the most over-reacting she-cats to exist. She shuddered just at the thought. While she did love her sister dearly, and usually she didn't mind being fussed over by her, she'd never had an experience like this. She turned back to Frostpaw, looking sheepish, "I almost don't want to go back and see my sisters reaction," she meowed. But she kept on going forward.
As they entered the camp, she stopped to look around for Littlepaw - the medicine cat apprentice would be able to check her ear and make sure she was okay. But, as she did, Snowfeather yowled from across camp. "Doveheart!" The white she-cat raced over and began frantically checking her sister for any more noticeable injuries. "Oh what happened? Your ear!" She yowled. Doveheart waved her tail dismissively.
"I'm fine, Snowfeather. Just had a bit of a run in with a dog - but we're both fine." She assured the frantic she-cat.
Snowfeather looked at Frostpaw and began circling him in search of injuries, "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked worriedly.

"Calm down you too - don't get too worked up." He chuckled. "Oh, we both know that won't be much of a competition," Willowstorm argued. She knew that Kestrelclaw didn't have the best luck with squirrels. Luckily, Willowstorm was a pretty quick cat. "But maybe we'll be able to bring some good prey back to the clan," she said. "Kinda like this," she added, nudging the pigeon he'd brought back that morning. "No!" Fogkit argued. He thrust his chin into the air, though he and Mistykit were the smallest cats in the nursery. Even Littlepaw was bigger than them. "Cause my name is Fog, not Frog. I'll be Fogclaw cause I'm a good fighter! But only for a bit because then I'll be Fogstar! And you can be my loyal deputy, Mistyfly," he said, still teasing his sister. He turned to nip at her when Kestrelclaw licked his forehead. "We're just trying to see who's the better warrior," Fogkit explained to Kestrelclaw. He looked up at his father. "Who do you thinks gonna be leader? I think it's gonna be me. I think Stormstrike already likes me so if he becomes leader, he's gonna make me his deputy. Then I'll be leader!"

Littlepaw frowned slightly when he heard his name called, but he didn't make a move to leave. If someone really needed him, they'd call him again or find him in the nursery. He tilted his head a bit, looking confused. "I see Gorseflight come in here like everyday," he said. While he didn't know the warrior that well, he often saw him entering and leaving the nursery. He didn't want to get in the middle of the couple, so he just let the topic drop.
"Next time I see him, I'll tell him to come visit you," the apprentice promised. At this point, he'd made himself comfortable and stretched out in the nursery. Though he preferred he medicine cat den, he did miss living here.

Kestrelclaw purred and nodded, "Maybe a little something like this," he bent his head and took a bite from the pigeon. It was fresh and juicy - perfect. He looked back to Fogkit and tilted his head, a smirk on his face. "I think you'll both make great leaders - but not if I'm leader first!" He meowed playfully. Truthfully, he felt no need in his life to become leader. He had always liked to live without the thought of all the stress. He did admire Jackdawstar and all the tough decisions that have to be made by the leader, but Kestrelclaw was definitely not fit for the job.
Mistykit bounced onto Fogkit, gnawing at his ear as she spoke, "I think I'll be the best leader - Fogkit will be the best queen!" At that, she squealed and ran - her giggled jingling in the air. She liked to annoy her brother, even if it meant being harsh - one day she'd learn her lesson.

Willowstorm also took a bite of the pigeon. It tasted good, but it was made better because of the fact that she was sharing it with Kestrelclaw. She stayed quiet and let the tom interact with their kits since she was with them all the time and he didn't have nearly as much time with them. She couldn't hide the amusement in her eyes as she watched the other three interact.
Fogkit's eyes widened. "Wow! That's an even better idea. You can be leader and then make me leader and we'll make Mistykit stay an apprentice forever so she can do the gross jobs that nobody wants to do," he said. He then turned to Mistykit, his blue eyes widening when she said that he would be the best queen. "No way! It's boring in here. I don't want to be a queen. You can be a queen and I'll be the leader and if you don't want to be a queen then you can be a medicine cat. But I'm gonna be the best leader. Fogstar sounds like a good name," he said. He sat next to Kestrelclaw, trying to look as big and strong as a full grown warrior.
"I can see it now. Jackdawstar. Stormstar. Kestrelstar. Fogstar." He glared at his sister. "And Mistypaw." There was a challenge in his eyes, daring her to attack him while he was sitting right next to their father.

FROSTPAW | Camp | Doveheart, Snowfeather
Frostpaw's fear quickly dissipated as they entered camp, the familiar sights and smells comforting him along with the knowledge that there was a host of capable warriors nearby that could take down any wandering dog. He could do with a quick rest and bite to eat to calm him down right about now. He gave a small smile at Doveheart's remark regarding her sister, but didn't think much of it. That was, until they entered camp.
Snowfeather's yell surprised the young apprentice, causing him to visibly flinch at the loud noise. The she-cat's panicked actions only shocked him further, and he froze as she circled him, her eyes looking for any sign of injuries. He knew that she was only trying to help, but her loud and panicked movements somewhat overwhelmed him, and he had to take a moment or two to reply. "I'm okay." he said softly, still somewhat wary of his mentor's sister. And he was telling the truth too: he had gotten away with very minimal injuries, and it was only Doveheart that seemed to show any signs of the attack. He felt bad in that way; she had only gotten hurt trying to protect him.

Kestrelclaw rolled his eyes to the kits, "You too be nice - you'll both make fine warriors. I think you'll both be very respected by your clan no matter what you do or who becomes a leader," he meowed to them both. That didn't stop Mistykit from charging at her brother, knocking into his side and pummeling him over. She had sheathed claws, and it was all in play, but she did get fired up quite easily. Kestrelclaw looked to Willowstorm. "I've no idea how you manage these two," he meowed with a purr of amusement. As the kittens rolled around, he took another bite of prey. "They'll calm down when they are apprentices though," he added, half to himself.

[ I'll write a starter for Cherrywhisper^^ ]
CHERRYWHISPER | The Water Fountain | Alone
Cherrywhisper sat quietly on the edge of the water fountain, her tail draped over the side and her head looking down at her reflection below. It was a relatively warm day today, so she had come to the fountain to cool off slightly, as well as get away from the bustle of camp; she was always up for serving her clan to the best of her ability, but she tended to try and avoid interacting with her fellow clanmates as much as possible. She always felt shy and awkward talking to others, so she had gotten into the habit of keeping herself busy with activities outside of camp to avoid the general small talk that came with hanging around the rest of the clan. In fact, the only cat she had talked to thus far today was her brother, Eaglestrike.
Cherrywhisper dipped one of her paws into the water, enjoying the cool temperature. Contrasting with the warm sun on her back, it felt extremely refreshing, and she half had a mind to jump right in. She didn't though, instead just remaining on the edge and watching the ripples travel out from her paw. Crouching down, she lapped up some of the cool water, though her eyes remained watchful of her surroundings.
