Pale Streak nodded and made his way down the tunnels before crawling back out onto the moor and taking in a deep breath as the wind hit his fur. He then sat down to wait for Snow Stripe.

Justin tipped his head to one side, slightly confused. "Didn't tell me what?"
Snow Stripe took one last look around the cave before following. Her paws pattered lightly on the ground as she slipped back onto the moor. Leaping past Pale Streak with relief, she fell to one side and rolled on her back, letting the grass help dry her fur. Rolling back onto her paws, shaking scraps of grass from her pelt, she lifted her muzzle to scent the air.

Shaded Hollow sighed before moving her tail and so no longer hiding her slightly swollen belly from Justin. She looked at the ground as she did so though, not wanting to see his reaction.

Pale Streak laughed lightly before gazing around and parting his jaws to scent the air. It only took a moment and he spotted a rabbit. Taking off he was upon the creature before it even had time to run. The tom killed it quickly before picking it up and running back to Snow Stripe proudly.

For a long moment, Justin just stared. He could hardly register this; Shaded Hollow was going to have kits. His kits! Overwhelmed with joy, he leaped forward and pressed against Shaded Hollow, purring too loudly to speak for a moment. "Kits... our kits!" he finally managed to say. "They're going to be beautiful!"

Snow Stripe sat down and watched as Pale Streak raced away across the moor, quickly catching a rabbit. She flicked her tail with approval as he returned, standing up to sniff appreciatively at the catch. "That was amazing," she purred. "You really are fast!" Turning around and scenting the air carefully, she turned and began to slink across the moors, hunting for another rabbit. She caught a whiff, following the trail to a small hole. Stopping in frustration, she sniffed hopefully at the hole, but nothing popped out.

Shaded Hollow moved away from him and curled her tail around her stomach protectively. "MY kits are going to be beautiful. They're going to learn how to hunt and fight and they are going to be born in this hollow." She then turned away and her voice cracked a bit as tears threatened to fall. "While you're going to be with two-legs and not caring."

Pale Streak had buried his catch before following the she-cat. Upon seeing the burrow he just smiled. "Now, it may not feel nice but you can go down there and drag the rabbit out. I've done it once."

Justin stepped back, lashing his tail. Feeling anger bubbling up under his fur, he growled, "Just because I'm a kittypet doesn't mean I don't care. Doesn't all the time we spent together mean anything?" He snarled, lashing his tail again, but took a deep breath to calm himself. "No kit should grow up without their father."

Snow Stripe blinked in astonishment. "But..." she trailed off, gazing down at the hole. The fur along her neck spiked, but she forced it flat. She was determined to show Pale Streak that she wasn't scared to go crawling underground. Flattening herself on her belly, she began to slip inside the hole. At once the suffocating darkness surrounded her, and she had an overwhelming urge to back out and run away from the hole forever. Instead, she sucked up her fear and continued to crawl deeper, using her whiskers to guide her. The scent of rabbit grew stronger, and before long her muzzle brushed against quivering fur; without thinking, she stretched forward and locked her jaws on the rabbit, killing it instantly.

Shaded Hollow glared at the tom before standing tall, her head and tail raised."Though that is true I also know that you wold want the kits to be with you in two-leg place and I do not agree with that." She lashed her tail. "That now leaves you with a choice. Live here to be there for your kits and me or go back to the safety of your two-leg's and never return." The sadness in her eyes could be see as she spoke but she knew she had to do this.

Pale Streak watched as the she-cat disappeared into the burrow and his respect for her grew. When it had been a few minutes he stood up, his tail tip going back and forth worriedly.

Justin was silent for an increasing amount of time, slowly sitting down and wrapping his tail over his paws. After a long moment, he finally repeated, "No kit should live without their father." Taking a deep breath and wrinkling his nose, he said, "I'll come live with you and give it a try. For our kits." He paused before glancing at Linx and adding, "If you let him join too."

Locking her jaws around the rabbit, Snow Stripe began to back out of the hole. Her terror was still increasing in the darkness, and when she finally popped out of the hole, she dropped the rabbit and took a breath of relief. She shook out her fur, dislodging bits of mud and dirt.

Shaded Hollow softened at his words and smiled. "Thank you Justin. Thank you so much." She then turned to Linx and padded up to him. She looked at him closely and then pressed one of her paws onto one of his to push his claws out but was shocked to find none. "Justin," she turned back to the tom. "He has no claws, how will he be able to live out here and provide for the group?"

Pale Streak let out a breath of relief when the she-cat finally reappeared from the burrow. Stepping forward he looked at the plump brown rabbit she had dragged out. "Good catch!"

Justin was silent, glancing over at Linx. "Tell her what you can do," he prompted with an impatient flick of his tail.
Snow Stripe grinned excitedly at Pale Streak's compliment. "Thanks!" Grabbing the rabbits scruff, she turned and flicked her tail. "Should we take this back to camp?" she mumbled around her mouthful.

Linx nodded and stood, shaking his fur out before approaching the she-cat. "Hello Shaded Hollow. I'm Linx but I believe Justin has already told you that. I long to leave my kittypet life but, as you pointed out, I have no claws. I do however know most of the herbs, their uses, and where you can find them."

Pale Streak nodded and led the way back to the rabbit he had caught. When he had retrieved it he nodded in the direction of the hollow they currently called home before setting out, setting a slow but brisk pace.

Justin flicked his whiskers in satisfaction. "See? Useful." He sat down, secretly hoping in his mind that Shaded Hollow would agree to take him in. Justin didn't want to be the only kittypet newcomer.

Snow Stripe followed, keeping her muzzle carefully raised so her prey didn't drag on the ground. Catching up to Pale Streak so she was trotting alongside him, she mumbled around her prey, "Are you going to tell them?"

You can be leaving camp to look for the herbs. The three of them are standing right outside the entrance. Justin has decided to join the group and Shaded Hollow is thinking about if she should let Linx))
