b r e e z e w h i s k e r [ dawn | hollyclan | hollyclan camp ] Breezewhisker slowly rose his head and reached over the small queen. He gently grasped the young kit by her scruff before placing her softly beside her mother's belly. His throat rumbled and roared with a loud purr and he licked at each kit before licked behind Spiderblossom's ear to soothe her. "You need to rest." His green gaze was soft as he whispered to her. While he had his duties, he didn't want to leave the side of his rather large family.
Debating, he decided to remain longer, at least until Spiderblossom was asleep. Blizzardhawk could make sure the kits were fine. The HollyClan deputy decided that later on in the day, while his mate and new kits snoozed, he'd hunt her favorite prey so she could provide more milk for their kits. "Two of them took after you." he teased, hinting at the two runts of the litter. He went back to washing his mate's ears. She had worked hard to bring them into the world and he would do anything to keep them safe. "I need to thank Beartumble later.." he thought to himself. He closed his eyes and pressed closer to Spiderblossom. Luckily, no one seemed to mind that he stayed with her overnight. [ open ]

Spiderblossom » Camp, ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 The growl which pulled from her lips was an entirely playful one, though she was quick to quiet it when her kits mewled in distress at the strange side. Amused by the innocence of her tiny newborns, she lowered her head shakily to touch her nose against their fluffy backs. Tugging them closer, she purred gratefully when Breezewhisker returned his daughter to her flank. Spiderblossom was careful to help the calico shekit up close, the creature was smaller than her siblings, and she didn't want the littler ones to suffer. Looking to her mate with a sigh, part of her was tempted to agree with him, but her instincts screamed at her to protect her little ones as best as she could. "I'm fine," she said quietly, head resting against her paws as she watched them squirm contentedly beside her. Burrowing deep into the dark fur of her underbelly, she purred in amusement to see at least a couple of the kits looked like her. "A couple of them look like you as well," she reassured playfully, toying with Smokekit's ears in an affectionate manner.

b r e e z e w h i s k e r [ dawn | hollyclan | hollyclan camp ] He narrowed his eyes when she growled, not realizing it was meant to be playful. He stayed up with her and stressed over the birth of their kits. He was tired as well but wanted her to get rest first. Aggravation prickled at his pelt and he held his mouth shut. He ignored her comment about how some looked like him, looking out the den. "Growl all you want, you need to rest." he mewed before getting up. Padding out of the side of the nest, he looked over his shoulder at his mate and new family. It was obvious he was exhausted and could explain his snappish behavior. "I need to do some things, I'm only keeping you up." he mewed before padding out of the nursery. In truth, he wanted to go sunbathe and rest as well. He wanted Spiderblossom to rest. It was a long night and the first birth was difficult. Their mother needed to be strong if they were to survive and rest was part of that. Padding into the camp clearing, he glanced around, checking things out. [ @stormpetal ] [ I thought them getting at each other would be interesting from lack of sleep.]

(I really like that actually also; complete derp I forgot Spider has no tail) Spiderblossom » Camp, ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 Confusion lit her gaze at her mate's snappish response, her growl had only been meant in jest, and she hadn't intended to anger him. Her ears flicked back against her head, growing protective when the bundles of fluff beside her began mewling, sensing her annoyance and it seemed to distress the vulnerable kittens. "There's no need to be mousebrained," she warned, fur bristling a little though it wasn't entirely noticeable. She was tired, and unappreciative of anyone, even the father, acting aggressive around her offspring. Had she been better rested it would have been likely that the calico queen would have been more understanding of her mate's short temper. But she was tired from kitting, and her temper was all too short for nonsense such as that Breezewhisker was displaying. Frowning when she watched him slip from the nursery, she curled into a tight ball around the five kits with a soft sigh. Trying to keep her frustration under wraps but finding it difficult as she rested her head against her paws beside them. "I should have known," she said mostly to herself, anger lighting her tone of voice. "He could barely be bothered to be with me when I was pregnant, why did I expect anything to change," she bit back the whimper which threatened to sound.
Hickorystone » Camp, ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 Settled to the side of camp had been the black furred Hickorystone, enjoying the sunlight as he stretched out by himself. Content with his own company, the handsome tom had lead a patrol. Hearing that his friend's mate had gone into kitting, the warrior had done what he could to keep life on track whilst the tom was busy with Spiderblossom. He might not have been fantastic at it, leadership had never really been in his blood, but he felt like it was the least he could have done for Breezewhisker. However, he hadn't expected the tom to retreat from the nursery quite so soon after the sounds of birthing had ended. Tilting his head to the side, what has he done now? He thought with a grimace, before lifting himself to his paws and approaching the deputy with a polite dip of his midnight black head. "I took a patrol to Adderstones to do some hunting, we managed some success but came across the scent of a fox. But believed it not strong enough to be of any worry," he reported calmly, making it clear he hadn't intended to overstep in helping out. When he'd finished, the tom twitched his ears in the direction of the nursery, "How'd it go? I take it we're all to be run off our paws soon enough," he purred with a fond tone of voice.

[ I almost posted this in my new draft, oops..] b r e e z e w h i s k e r [ dawn | hollyclan | hollyclan camp ] Blinking, the tom couldn't exactly process what Hickorystone had said. He nodded and grunted, giving a curt thank you. When his friend asked about his kits, Breezewhisker flashed his eyes to the nursery and only stared into the abyss. "Soon enough. They take after us both. I would stay with her, but I'm keeping her up." Breezewhisker meowed before looking down. "But I'm conflicted, Hickorystone. I want to be with Spiderblossom, but ever since I became deputy, things have been hard. When we found out she was expecting, things only got worse. I can't spend as much time with her as she wants, and I don't know how to communicate that to her without her taking it wrong." the HollyClan deputy confessed. He shuffled his paws and sat down, looking worn out from the night of being beside his mate with worry. "I can't seem to find the right balance of being a good mate and deputy. I'm so scared out of my mind that I'll fail as a father if this keeps up!" the tabby exclaimed. He didn't have the confidence he needed to lead and with Talonstar being on his last lives, he would need to find it soon if he was to lead. [ @stormpetal ]

Hickorystone » Camp, ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 Listening to his friend ramble with a twitch of his ears, the tom's eyes narrowed a shade as he listened to the tom fret. As good as a deputy as the tom was, he could at times be an incredible mousebrain. The black tom shook his head in disbelief and slight annoyance at the warrior, he considered Spiderblossom somewhat of a friend, mostly due to the fact that Hickorystone was a friend of Breezewhisker. It frustrated him to see the pair fighting, nothing neither party needed during such times of stress and difficulty. "I'm sure she'd rather have you with her and keeping her up than she would not have you there at all," he commented as neutrally as he could manage. Understanding even if he wasn't the most sociable cat, that the new mother arguably needed more help and friendship than she had ever needed. "There are better cats than me; believe it or not; who can help look after the clan for a few days. Your kits would like to know their father, I imagine," he explained with a shrug of his hefty shoulders. Kneading his black paws into the ground, a frustrated grumble pulling from his lips as at last he began to find his patience growing thin in regards to his deputy and friend. "She doesn't want more time with you, Spiderblossom is a smart cat, she knows you are busy in all likelihood," it was all heresay but he could guess after having known the deputy for so long that this was what was going on. "She just wants you to be there when you are, to not constantly be thinking twenty steps ahead, and be a mate to her." He explained with a sigh, hoping not to be overstepping but knowing it was likely something Breezewhisker needed to hear. If necessary the black tom would beat his friend over the head with it. "And if your not careful you'll lose your mate and your kits to your own foolishness," he added a little more light hearted.

Frustration built up inside his chest. The tom looked at Hickorystone in the eye. "How can I be there when I'm constantly approached to help with patrols. I'm trying my best but right now isn't the best. Leaf-fall is coming and with it is the risk of losing Talonstar. Who gets to fill his pawsteps when he's gone? Me.. I'm not ready for that but I have to force myself to. She gets upset when I have to go. All I told her was to rest and she growled at me." the tom explained to Hickorystone.
The thought of losing his family made his heart sink. Surely Spiderblossom wouldn't leave him, right? They'd been together for so long and they finally were able to have their family. Granted it was a horrible time, but still. He sighed and looked over at the nursery. Perhaps in a few days he should talk to her? He sighed and looked at Hickorystone again. "It's obvious something is up, huh?" he asked, his green eyes flicking to the leader's den. "I need my rock..." he thought, referring to Spiderblossom.

Lifting her head at the sound of her daughter mewling, her ears pricked forward with concern as the sight of Flarekit away from her belly. Instincts telling her to keep the newborns in her nest and keep them safe and warm, but when the kitten seemed to relax and calm down a short while later, she calmed a little. Assuming the kitten had done so purposefully, she leant down and lifted Flarekit gently up by the scruff of her neck. Not resting the kitten by her belly again, but instead between her paws. There it was cooler, the only source of warmth was from the young mother herself, and wasn't likely as intense as it was in the pile of kittens. Once she had the calico kitten settled comfortably between her paws, Spiderblossom began to carefully groom the kitten, ridding her fur of the dampness that remained from birth.

{ Kestrelwing and Firepaw comin up~ } { Location ;; Camp | Replying to ;; Thunderdance [ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 ] }
In all honesty, the young tabby tom wasn't expecting his father to ever come up to him just like that. It left him staring wide eyed. Firepaw hesitated, looking down at his paws and shuffling them slightly. How was his training going? Thunderdance was only asking a simple question, why did he have to make it so difficult? Was it his lack of having his father around to actually be a father to him? Or was it just... how he was? Firepaw couldn't exactly pin point it, so he just let out a muffled and shaky sigh before glancing up at his father once again.
"I- uh, Training is going pretty well, I think. I haven't been out yet today, since Cherrysplash hasn't given me any assignments, so I'm not getting very far." He replied softly, his tail curling around his paws ever so slightly as he stared at a father for a moment. The burning question was there. But Firepaw didn't know if now was the right time to even ask such a question. He shifted from paw to paw before letting out a wavering breath, his eyes slowly casting down.
"I know you didn't come here to talk to me by yourself, Thunderdance. What are you actually here for? We haven't had a straight conversation since you congratulated me on becoming an apprentice." Firepaw stood up and looked at his father. He was smaller than the other ginger tom, but he wasn't exactly weak- he had a bit of power to him, even if it didn't show due to his not so confident personality. He lashed his tail slightly and narrowed his green eyes. "Why are you trying to act like my father now of all times? Or are you being forced to do so?" He asked. Firepaw was taken aback by his own words, but at the moment, he didn't exactly care how harsh they turned out to be. He just wanted answers. - - - { Location ;; Hollyclan Camp/Territory | Replying to ;; Daisyfoot [Sand ] }
Kestrelwing watched the black cat for a moment more as they stalked away from the nursery since it seemed like they weren't exactly needed. His attention then shifted back over to Daisyfoot. With a twitch of his whiskers, he nodded his agreement and shrugged. "It isn't the best interest to not have friends inside your own clan though. I know Crowstride isn't always so... quiet and keep to themselves. But hey, only starclan can make them change, I suppose." The gray tabby tom mewed before turning towards the exit, gesturing with his tail for Daisyfoot to follow.
Slipping out into the territory, Kestrelwing took a big taste of the air with his maw, his eyes slightly narrowed as he carefully picked his way towards Moss Meadow. "Right. And I'm sure if we pass the border we'll have to watch out for Tribe cats. They've always been hostile." He growled softly and looked back at the molly who joined him for patrol. "Would you rather hunt together, or split up once we get to the meadow? I'm okay with either or." Kestrelwing added, ducking under a few bushes to avoid his ears getting torn up by any thorns.

Hickorystone » Camp, ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 Watching the deputy's minor meltdown with a mixture of feelings, part of him was feeling sympathy for the tom, but another, larger part was more frustrated with him. That coupled with the sympathy he also felt for the new mother in the nursery fuelled what he said next, "I'm contemplating stop being friends with you if you continue to be a mousebrain," he told the warrior with an attempt at a smile. But it looked more like a grimace when it actually came to it. Tilting his head, he followed Breezewhisker's gaze to where it had been cast in the direction of the leader's den, and the handsome tom admittedly flinched. Talonstar had been leader as long as Hickorystone had been alive, and the idea of new leadership concerned him. Even if it came at the paws of his good friend, the dark furred warrior brushed his shoulder against the deputy's. A gesture meant as a comforting gesture as they stood side by side. "It would appear so," he replied with a chuckle, tucking his tail neatly around his muscled frame. "You'll figure it out," he promised firmly after a heartbeat or so. "I just hope you do the right thing in the end, by the clan and your children." Hickorystone himself had always lived with a... difficult relationship with his own father, estranged even, and wouldn't have wished it upon anyone, especially not the kits of his friend. "You will make a good father, I imagine," he said with a sigh. "Just do it quickly, kits grow faster than you think."

t h u n d e r d a n c e [ dawn | hollyclan | hollyclan camp ] After hearing about him being behind, Thunderdance opened his mouth to say something. He was about to offer to talk to Talonstar himself, but his son spoke again. The tom was surprised Firepaw caught on so quickly and he didn't bother scolding him for being so sassy. He'd leave it to his mentor to deal with that. "Well.. Breezewhisker wants us on a patrol." Thunderdance began to explain. "I can't let him know that Breezewhisker kind of told me to be more fatherly. At least the fuzzball didn't say it indirectly.." the ginger tom thought.
"I figured that maybe.. with the new kits here... Well, you see.." He couldn't formulate the words. He shut his eyes tight and sighed. "I need to be a better father to you, especially since your mother is gone. I want to make up for lost time." Thunderdance sighed, looking away to avoid the fact he was partially lying. While he needed to be a better father, he'd rather not dwell in the past. It just wasn't him. He looked back at the apprentice, trying to soften his yellow gaze. "That is, if you'll let me." he tried to look genuine, but ended up looking rather.. weird. His face a screwed up and his teeth were bared in an awkward grin-like look.

b r e e z e w h i s k e r [ dawn | hollyclan | hollyclan camp ] Sighing, Breezewhisker nodded. He didn't want to say anymore and continue to get scolded. "I need to rest and think about what you said." he told the tom, giving in to his exhaustion. Turning to the warriors den, the tom decided to let Spiderblossom cool off before attempting any kind of reconcile. His eyes drooped as he heaved himself into his nest. He blinked slowly before shutting them and drifting to sleep. [ @stormpetal ] [ I'm making them short because I have a massive headache from being tired myself.]
