"I shall be TumbleStar!" he announced to his father, "You shall become my deputy," he nodded elegently before, once again, giggling, "Itsobig!" he announced, "I want to explore it all- OOOO I heard yous get the specielest of dens, can I see its!?" Tumblekit's eyes were large and pleading as he stared up at his father.

Swiftstar exited his den, face lighting up as he caught sight of his kits. "Oh my! Tumblekit, are you coming for my leadership?" he teased with a purr. Leaning down to nuzzle his son. "What do you think of our camp?" Wolfstep gave Wheatkit a gentle nudge, "It's alright. Everyone out there is your clanmate. It's their job to protect you. There's nothing to fear out there." Wheatkit hesitated a moment longer before seeming to gather himself with a barely-perceptible nod. "All right," he said rather seriously. He stepped quickly out into the camp, screwing up his eyes. The sun seemed to be going down, but it was still brighter under the open sky than in the gloomy nursery. As his eyes adjusted, he could make out some of the area closest to him, the farther parts of camp blurring. Fallowmeadow had said his sight would improve over the next few days, and he hoped that was true. "It's brighter out here. There's more cats and a lot of grass. And-" he stopped as he caught sight of a big tom nudging Tumblekit. "Is that our father?" he asked almost breathlessly, his tail trembling with barely contained excitement.

Swiftstar snorted, "I've already been deputy little one, I think those days are over. My den is sort of a mess right now after the wind vortex, but I can take you over there if you'd like."
Milkkit wilted a bit at Specklekit's less enthusiastic answer. "I've never seen one this big!" she said, dropping it in front of her sister. "There's lots of stuff around the camp we've never seen before."
"Yes, that's Swiftstar! Do you recognize his voice from when your eyes were closed? He spends as much time as he can with you and our mother while still running the clan." Wolfstep explained.

"Yes, his scent too," Wheatkit answered. "I'm going to say hello."
He trotted happily over to his brother and father. He blinked up at him with wide eyes. "You're big like Wolfstep."

Swiftstar looked down at Wheatkit with a grin, leaning forward to give him a nuzzle too. "I am, some day you two will probably be just as big. Isn't that exciting?"

"Hmm," Wheatkit hummed thoughtfully as Swiftstar nuzzled his cheek. "Yes. I would like that." If he grew big and strong like his father and brother, he could hunt well for his Clan.

"Like what?" Specklekit asked, feeling a bit bad when Milkkit seemed disappointed with her reaction to the stick. "Is there anywhere we can explore?" She added, willing to let her sister lead her around.

Rebelpaw glanced at Morningpaw, his eyes mischievous as he admitted. “I’m hoping Heathersky takes me out again tomorrow. Honestly, I like riling her up. She’s got one mean temper when you get her going! I see where Ravenpaw gets it from!” He laughed, inwardly liking his mentor. Not that he’d admit it, playing tricks on her was just too fun!

Mottledsong was laying leisurely near the nursery, soaking up the sunlight, though her focus was intently on the kits playing in camp. Each one was as important to her as if they were birthed by her, and she took her duty as a permanent Queen very seriously. She loved every second of watching the Clan’s kits grow into apprentices and Warriors. Now, she was purring as she watched Fallowmeadow and Swiftstar’s second litter see the camp for the first time.

Morningpaw blinked at Rebelpaw, surprised at how quickly he seemed to jump from topic to topic. "You... you aren't worried... that she'll punish you?" She asked, giving her head a small tilt. Spottedclaw had so far been rather nice during her training, but she couldn't imagine doing something to purposely upset him.

Tell my mom?” Rebelpaw snorted with a hint of a darker humor. He had no mother or father, not that it mattered. He could survive on his own. Even so, he humored. “And Swiftstar will just give me chores. Those are easy anyway. And my pranks and jokes are totally harmless anyway!” He grinned.

"Yes yes yes," Tumblekit mewed happily, "Ima go to the specialist of special dens! You comes too Wheatkit?" Tumblekit stared at his nervous brother curiously, tipping his head, I wonderwhy hes so nervous all the time? How could he be when we have so many strong warriors to protect us! Including daddy.

Wheatkit blinked at Tumblekit. "Okay," he said. "Are we going to see your nest?" he inquired to Swiftstar.

Swiftstar chuckled at Tumblekit's enthusiasm. "Yes, Tumblekit wanted to see the leader's den. I don't mind if you take a peak inside."
Wolfstep went to settle beside Fallowmeadow, speaking quietly and fondly to his mother as the kits played nearby.
Milkkit flicked her ear, looking around. "I dunno! This is the first time we've seen the camp. I'm sure there's lots for us to see. She pointed over at the other den with her tail. "Do you think that's the medicine cat den or the elder's den?"

Specklekit looked over at the den and gave a small shrug, "Um, medicine den maybe?" She mewed, looking at the den with a small tilt of her head. "I don't see anyone over there though."

"But... what if they decide to not let you train as a punishment instead?" Morningpaw asked, shuffling her paws. Chores weren't all that bad, but the idea of being confined in camp didn't agree with her. She had only just become an apprentice, Morningpaw certainly wouldn't want to let that freedom get taken away from her just yet.

Milkkit's tail puffed with excitement as she nudged Specklekit, leading her toward the mysterious den. "Come on! Let's go look and see."

Palegaze watched fondly as Swiftstar and Fallowmeadow's second litter explored the camp for the first time. It was always good to see that Clan life went on.

I don’t really need all that recognition anyway, maybe I’ll have the record of the Clan’s oldest apprentice.” He smirked, giggling to himself. “Don’t worry. They won’t keep me here as an apprentice forever, and I’ll be a good tom so I can get my pretty new name on time.”

Grousekit bounced up next to his siblings. “What are we looking at?” He asked, eyes wide. He peered into the den curiously.
Hazelear shifted nervously from where she sat. She watched Wolfstep speaking to his mother. Come on! You have to tell him! She scolded herself. She started forward before asking. “Hey Wolfstep? Can I talk to you a minute?”
Swiftsun returned from a hunting patrol. He laid a rabbit down on the pile before yawning lightly. He had been up early hunting. He spotted Mottledsong and decided to go over. “Hello.” He greeted warmly.

"Great! It's everything I had hoped for." Ivyvine replied with a bashful smile. "I've been pining after him since we were apprentices. That single moon where I was a warrior and he was still an apprentice was probably the worst moon of my life." he mewed with a snicker. He nodded to the others, "And what about you two? Any handsome toms or lovely she-cats catch your attention?" “Plenty of toms and she-cats catch my eye, though I’m far too much a coward to flirt first.” Petalflare admitted with a wistful yet slightly mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Soarshadow and I are alike, we’re romantics at heart, with big dreams of what love is… buttt. We to tend to enjoy looking around first.” She humored. "That's great!" Larkbouce snickered with the rest of the patrol as Ivyvine told them of his love. "No cat really, and I plan to do muuuchhh more before I settle down" He joked, throwing on a dramatic face for a second before it goes back to his usual smile.

Mottledsong lifted her head, pale eyes flashing with surprise before they softened, her voice kind as she mewed. “Hello, Swiftsun. I’m sorry I didn’t see you coming up. The youngest kits are seeing camp for the first time. Aren’t they just so precious?” She purred fondly, looking at the kits again with warm eyes.

Milkkit grinned as Grousekit approached, hoping maybe he would be more excited like she was. "We're trying to figure out if this is the medicine cat den or not. Do you see Dawnshadow?" She asked, peering around the corner of the den just barely.
Wolfstep brightened as Hazelear approached, touching his nose to his mother's cheek before he stood to press against his mate. "Of course! Do you want to talk here in camp? Or go out for a little walk?"

Specklekit let Milkkit lead her around, peering into the den as well just to appease her. "I don't see anyone." She said, looking back at Milkkit and Grousekit as he joined them.

Ivyvine giggled with them as they approached the Riverclan border, the gorge had always scared him a bit. The deep drop down into the river below. He marked the border, trying not to look down. "Sometimes I think maybe we rushed it a little, but in the end I don't think I would end up with any other cat so what's the point in waiting? The thought of even trying a relationship with another cat makes me feel weird. Soarshadow is all I've ever pictured."

At least he didn't seem to mind having to carry the majority of the conversation, "How long do you think it'll be until you get your warrior name?" She asked.

“Let’s just got in and look!” Grousekit looked at his siblings before taking a few steps into the den. “Come on!” He was curious and wanted to see what was inside.
“Let’s go for a walk.” Hazelear spoke nervously. Why was she so nervous? They had talked about kits before. She shook her head to clear it before heading towards the entrance of camp. “Have you had a good day so far?” She asked him.
“They are cute aren’t they.” Swiftsun purred and looked at them. “I want to have kits one day.” He spoke. “Gotta find the right shecat first.”
