Briarpatch grinned "Good thinking! Hopefully we'll be able to rebuild the elder's den and nursery quickly so they will have somewhere safe to sleep tonight."

Spotteddawn nudged him gently, “It’s alright. When everything is back to normal, I’ll teach you how to climb the cliffs like a true SkyClan cat.” She mewed.

Briarpatch grinned "Good thinking! Hopefully we'll be able to rebuild the elder's den and nursery quickly so they will have somewhere safe to sleep tonight." “Alright then, sounds like a plan! Now...we only have to find a stable enough tree. Should be simple, right?” Flarestorm perked, only to look around at the trees with a slight grimace.

Briarpatch's confidence flickered as they looked into the forest at the burnt trees "Hopefully not. There's going to be some around here!"

Reaching the nursery, Splashecho flattened her ears. The cave was black and smelled heavily of smoke. It would be a while until it aired out. She frowned and looked at her mate,worried for their kits' lungs.
Flyingkit sniffed in near disgust at the scent of the nursery.

Sparrowstrike laid his tail on his mate's shoulder is comfort, but he couldn't hide his own for their kits as well. "I'll start working on this immediately." he murmured, guiding Springkit and Twigkit back towards Splashecho.
Twigkit looked up at his parents with a frown. "Our den's all yucky!" he complained, wrinkling his nose.

"it'll be alright." Splashecho smiled softly at her kits. "soon it'll be as good as new!"

Sparrowstrike pressed against Splashecho once before moving over to the nursery, inspecting the damage he began to move the debris away.
Springkit watched her father go, the she-kit still tired from the panic of escaping.
Twigkit huffed quietly, "Can I help? Father can't fix the nursery by himself!"

Briarpatch's confidence flickered as they looked into the forest at the burnt trees "Hopefully not. There's going to be some around here!" Flarestorm gained a bit of his confidence back, teasing boldly. "With sharp eyes like yours, I have no doubt we'll find a good one. Especially if they're as sharp as they are lovely." He swished his tail, padding after her with intent to find the right trees to climb.

Splashecho flicked her ear at Twigkit's question, worried what the Ash and Soot would do to their kits, but she let out a sigh. Twigkit was right and the kits could benefit from hard word. "Let's all help him," Splashecho nodded with a small smile.
Flyingkit perked up and darted toward her father. "How can we help?!"

Briarpatch stared at him dumbfounded for a moment, not expecting a comment like that to come from the tom. Shaking out her pelt in embarrassment she continued forward. "I didn't expect such a comment from you." she mewed, trying to match his boldness. "But I'm glad you can see beauty when it's in front of you."
Springkit's eyes widened at her mother's statement, not at all expecting her to agree with her brother. Climbing to her paws she scampered after her siblings.
Sparrowstrike looked back at Flyingkit in confusion, flicking his gaze up to Splashecho. "Oh are you all helping me?" he asked.
Twigkit wriggled, giving a little "yay!" before moving beside his father, copying how he had seen him move debris. The tiny tom pushing little piles of nests towards Sparrowstrike's much larger pile.

Splashecho padded over to her mate. "Yes. You shouldn't do this on your own. They're almost six moons anyway. They should get used to hard work."

Maplerunner had moved to the warriors den and was pulling out the burned bracken and moss, using his tail as well to sweep some of the ash and soot from the walls.
Sunswallow gave a quick nod. "Let's focus on the wall then. Take down most of it and salvage what we can, though there probably won't be a lot."

Flarestorm was a bit stunned at the return of her boldness, but he soon offered a small grin, winking once at the she-cat. "I can see that you've got quite a bit of a spark in you. I happen to have good eyes myself. Alright then. Let's see if your climbing is as good as your comebacks." He teased, seeming to find an acceptable tree.

Sparrowstrike felt his heart swell with love for his mate and kits and got back to work. "Flyingkit do you want to help me move this pile to the edge of camp while Springkit, Twigkit and Splashecho start making a new pile?"
Twigkit and Springkit began to scrape together more of the debris from the den following their father's orders.
Shadespots padded over to Maplerunner "Would you like some help?" she asked, wanting to get her mind off her brother.

Briarpatch purred, staring up at the tree. "I love climbing, just helped Cometblaze down the cliffs actually." she mewed before leaping up onto the trunk. She was slightly thrown off by the more brittle feeling of the tree. The fire had definitely affected the bark. She dug her claws in deep, staring back at Flarestorm. "Seems sturdy enough. It should hold both of us."

"Ah. That must have been something. I can tell that Cometblaze is...not the best climber. I hope he thanked you for your kindness." Flarestorm chuckled a bit, though he did feel a twinge of sympathy for the former Thunderclan tom. He supposed he admired that Cometblaze chose his love for his mate over anything else. "Let's get climbing then!"
He moved to hook his claws into the tree bark, carefully monitoring the tree for any kind of weakness.

Briarpatch nodded carefully moving up the tree towards the branches, "He did, he looked terrified up there on the cliff, I couldn't help but ask him if he needed assistance."

Willownose sat next to the two kits, her tail curled over them. She didn't say anything as the others were buried, waiting for them to leave this awful place behind.

I think we were waiting for Frozen to post, but we can start bringing them back. Jules is taking a hiatus from the forums though so I think Whitesun will have to deal with it XD ) Ashfeather stepped back from the grave they had dug, "We should head back to camp. They don't have much longer left I fear." he mewed, looking towards the pitifully skinny kits.

Briarpatch nodded carefully moving up the tree towards the branches, "He did, he looked terrified up there on the cliff, I couldn't help but ask him if he needed assistance." Flarestorm offered a sheepish chuckle. “I guess they truly don’t teach climbing much in Thunderclan...Though, Cardinalblaze wasn’t all too good at it either. Cliffheart though, well, he used to be of Skyclan so it makes sense that he’s good at it.”

Briarpatch huffed in agreement, focusing on hauling her body onto one of the strong branches. "Was your plan just to make the leaves fall and then we collect them when we climb down?"

"ok!" Flyingkit followed quickly after her father while Splashecho moved to guide her siblings into making another pile.
Spiderpaw sighed heavily, standing watch over Leapingdoe and Echopaw. He glanced over at Lavendersky. With the seriousness of their injures, maybe they should skip the medicine gathering tonight? Spiderpaw couldn't go by himself and he couldn't stay here alone with the injured, what if something went wrong that he couldn't handle?

“Yep! That’s basically the plan!” Flarestorm snickered. “I don’t think we’ll be able to climb up and down over and over when we could just drop down as much as possible.”

Sparrowstrike couldn't help but realize how big Flyingkit had gotten as they pushed the pile together. Soon they would be apprentices and he would get to watch them become warriors. The thought made him smile, they would be good warriors.
Springkit grabbed a rather large twig, trying to drag it over to their pile.
Briarpatch shook her head "That's for sure, we'd be tired really quickly."

Flyingkit looked back at her father, her fur tinted with the Ash and Soot of the burned bedding. "Where will we find more?"
Splashecho purred lightly watching Springkit struggle. "Twigkit, why don't you help your sister?" She didn't want to overstep on her kits, wanting them be able to do it on their own.

Sparrowstrike frowned at Flyingkit’s question. “I’m not sure, but patrols have already gone out to look for new bedding so I’m sure they’ll come back some. You don’t have to worry about that part.”
Twigkit smirked as he looked over to Springkit. “Hey furball, why didn’t you ask fo help!” He mewed scampering over time grab the other half of the stick and help.
Springkit muttered something incoherent around the stick.

Flyingkit flicked her ear, not really helping, just following and asking questions. "can go out and see the territory?"
Splashecho purred and watched her kits for a moment before grabbing more debris to put into the pile.

Sparrowstrike laughed softly, giving his daughter a warm smile "You may be old enough to help clean up the camp, but you know you're not allowed to leave the camp until you're an apprentice. Which will happen soon enough. I promise."
Springkit grinned as she plopped the twig down into the pile "Wow that was way heavier than I thought. Thanks Twigkit!"
Twigkit shook his head but nudged his sister fondly. "You're welcome. Come on let's go help some more!" he mewed before trotting towards more of the debris, Springkit at his heals

Flyingkit huffed. "It won't happen soon enough." She flicked her tail, but then looked at her father curiously. "Who do you think my mentor will be?"
Splashecho purred and followed her kits "You two are natural helpers!"
