Basilwhisker followed the kit over to the corner of the room. He sat down and then after a quick once over of his fur he layed down. He looked over at Pumpkinkit and smiled as the young kit relaxed some. "Well let me start from the beginning. I've always wanted to be a father. I've had a hard time finding a mate to have kits with and though I'm still young I decided I wanted adopt so I could live out my dream." He paused to watch Pumpkinkit. "So I had heard of the Caring Hearts Kit Cave and decided to go there. While I was there I met this firey little Tortoiseshell she-kit with yellow eyes. Her name was Turtlekit. She was very sarcastic because she was scared of being abandoned again." Pumpkinkit listened intently. "I think not having a mate but wanting kits anyway is really nice." When Basilwhisker mentioned Turtlekit being sarcastic he smiled. "I know some cats like that. I just want who I go with to fit with me but a lot of us don't believe anyone really wants us." Basilwhisker smiled. "I want to have a family. I've got my sister Frostfeather and now Turtlepaw. I'm excited to see where life takes me next." He didn't want to assume tye kit would want to come home with him. "Once she gets comfortable she is less sarcastic. I think she would love you. When I met her she just wanted to play training games. She wants to be a warrior so bad." He frowned when Pumpkinkit said that so many kits thought no one wanted them. "I hate that you all feel that way. Everyone deserves to feel loved and appreciated." |

Everkit inclined her head to Stormwatcher with some amount of wariness. Then she nodded her head. "Yeah," she said. Then eventually nodded with a lot more vigor. "Yeah! That sounds fun!" Elmheart purred a rumbling, "Berry season will be soon," to Red, though in actuality he was trying to avoid listening into the conversation that Tigerpaw and Wasppaw were having. "Why do you think that?" Wasppaw whispered back. "She must have picked you for a reason." It seemed like that, anyway. Why should it matter if Tigerpaw had been picked. But Wasppaw still stretched his tail to tap reassuringly against the other apprentices flank. "I agree about the pond," Glade was saying. "Sounds wonderful." Stormwatcher watched Everkit curiously. She was certainly an interesting kit. "Do you know how to swim yet Everkit?" He asked casually. Red pranced up next to Elmheart. "How soon? Like in a week?" the fox kit had no sense of time yet. Fallenstar was also trying not to listen to the apprentices but failing, she turned to eye Elmheart as if to ask do I let them talk or intervene. Tigerpaw smiled a little at Wasppaw's reassurement. "I guess so but I just feel useless compared to cats with more abilities. "Hey Galde could you and Stormwatcher check the pond ahead to make sure it clear before the rest of us get there?" Fallenstar asked. Elmheart flicked an ear at Fallenstar. Let the apprentices talk. Best to intercede when the time came. For now, it seemed to be alright. Everkit, on the other hand, looked up at Stormwatcher with intense curiosity. "No? Do you know how to swim?" Shed seemed decently fascinated with the idea. Glade bounded forward, getting ahead of the others to follow along with what Fallenstar had requested while Wasppaw gave an encouraging shoulder nudge to Tigerpaw. "You're fine," he promised. "Other cats don't have abilities and that's okay!" |

<abbr title="Mar 1, 2022 15:58:13 GMT -6" class="o-timestamp time" data-timestamp="1646171893000">Mar 1, 2022 15:58:13 GMT -6</abbr> Brindlebriar said :
Brindlebriar nodded in understanding. "I just wanted to make you aware of what my intentions are. I realize that there is a lot to unpack with what I just said, something that should not be taken lightly what so ever, so yes, lets take our time and make sure this would be a good fit for all of us." Brindle looked up and say more, but Yewkit seemed unsure. She held her breath as the she-kit ran off, wanting time to think about all of this.
Maybe jumping out of the gate and telling them, she should have just gotten to know them more. If Yewkit did not want her, she would learn to accept it, but it hurt her a little bit that she was so frightened. Brindle looked back at Poppy. "Even tho fire hurt me, I would never push you away for a gift as beautiful as yours." She mewed nicely.
She genuinely felt a connection with these kits even though she had spent most of her time thus far with Jack and Gemkit. She did not want to adopt all of the solely because of Gemkit, her story just helped solidify her decision. She hoped that Yewkit would let her prove herself one day. Gemkit smiled at Brindle's explanation. She hadn't expected Brindle to want all of them. She watched Yewkit run off with a worried expression but she thought she understood. Yewkit had never really expected to be adopted. She had planned to work hard as an apprentice and become a worker. She would still get to do that if Beindle adopted her and they stayed here but she didn't really think Brindle wanted her. Poppy's face glowed with hope she turned to Gemkit, her eyes shinning. "We could be sisters Gemkit! I wouldn't just be your friend I would be your sister!" She turned to Jack and touched noses with him playfully. "Yours too! Your big sister would use her fire to keep the snow from ever making you too cold." She purred. Jack giggled. Gemkit laughed back but turned to Brindle. "I think you convinced Poppy but Yewkit might be harder. I am going to try and find out where she went." She was about to run off to look when a black kit with white wings dipped down to land in front of them. "Hey Gemkit you know I would never tell on some one without good reason but your friend just asked me how to get through that secret entrance I found to the plant room." He turned to Brindle. "Name's Ink. Just thought someone should know." He looked awkward. |

"I hate that you all feel that way. Everyone deserves to feel loved and appreciated." Pumpkinkit shook his head. "Not all of us but some do. The workers here do a good job of tacking care of us and trying to make us feel loved but sometimes its hard when adopters don't ever talk to you or decide you aren't right for them." He flicked his tail as a black tom cat with wings not far off. "Like him. That's Riverpaw his clan hated his wings and he hates them too. He believes no one would want him or his wings." Pumpkinkit sighed. "I try to cheer everyone up as much as I can." |

"Other cats don't have abilities and that's okay!" Stormwatcher ginned down at Everkit. "I do. I can teach you if you like." He offered before looking up at the sound of his name. "Be right back." He told her before running to catch up with Glade. "Hey Glade what do you know about Everkit?" He asked curiously as the pond came into sight. Tigerpaw gave a genuine grin to Wasppaw at this point. "Thanks." She purred. "Have you talked to any adopters lately?" She asked after a moment. It was sometimes a touchy subject for cats but Wasppaw was nice and she hoped he was adopted even if she didn't really believe she would be. |

Basilwhisker nodded. "I wonder if anyone in my clan has ever felt that way." He sighed and looked unhappily as though he could do something about every one of the kits here. "I think it's good that the cats here do such a good job with you all." He added going back to smiling. "It's also very nice of you to try and comfort the other kits."

Pumpkinkit shrugged. "It doesn't always work. They don't always want to be comforted but I like to try. What's your clan like?" He asked after a moment. He liked that Basilwhisker thought it was nice of him to help others.
((Level up))

"Thymeclan is a very interesting clan. For the longest time we were isolated. We didn't know about other clans or kit caves. We also are a fairly new clan. Only a couple of generations strong. We had our original leader Thymestar until he passed along with my mentor Elmsong in a fox attack." Basilwhisker grimaced wondering if he should have said that. "We also have a new clan starting next to us. They are called Roseclan and they are made up of clans that have fallen apart for one reason or another."

"We also have a new clan starting next to us. They are called Roseclan and they are made up of clans that have fallen apart for one reason or another." Pumpkinkit looked a bit sad. "I am sorry about the fox attack. I guess not all foxes are like Silver." His tail flicked toward the grey fox worker who was bringing prey to the fresh kill pile. "So know that you know about other clans are your traditions the same as theirs?" ((I saw you are starting a new loner to clan rp. i wish you luck with that one too.)) |

Basilwhisker nodded. "It's nice that there are good foxes." He looked a little saddened from thinking about his mentor and leader but he shook his head and smiled. "I think our clans are about the same as other clans. We value kits highly because they are the next generation of warriors. And we have apprentices travel with our leader to the Moon Mushrooms where they communicate with Starclan." He thought about other traditions the clan had.
(Thanks I'm hoping Thymeclan picks up its kinda dead on here lately.)

The little kit looked fascinated by the way this clan talked to their ancestors. "We aren't much like regular clans here." He pointed out. ((I hope it does too. I tend to join more unusual clans but it seems like there just aren't as many active clans in general now.)) |

"When the moon hits them just right I guess you can meet with Starclan. I haven't seen them myself I just know what our medicine cat has told me." He streched before continuing. "Usually an apprentice or warrior will accompany the leader to the Moon Mushrooms but we are left outside the clearing." |

Brindlebriar watched as Gemkit turned to go speak with Yewkit, hoping that she could calm her heart down a little bit, maybe give her some reassurance. Jack was very happy, and so was poppy, so thankfully, it had went relativly smoothly, given the circumstance.
"Ink, nice to meet you." She responded when a black cat flew over with news. Brindles face turned concerned. She had no idea what the secret entrance led too, and she wasnt sure why it seemed to be an issue, but once again, she was still trying to adjust to how things were done around here. "Would you mind explaining what the plant room is?" She asked, sitting up on her paws. Regardless, she figured it best not to go after Yewkit herself, seeing that situation would probably escalate. |

Pumpkinkit smiled at the talk of the moon mushrooms. "Our center used to use the glowing water in the back of our old cave but we haven't found a new place to talk to start clan since we go here." He explained. "What is the best part of your clan?" He asked curious. Pumpkinkit was feeling more at ease now.

Ink looked unsure. He really didn't want to share his discoveries with every one but he knew he needed to. "Our home here is pretty new. We used to live in a cave but since we got here not much of the territory has been explored. The house is pretty big so they try to keep us from exploring the rooms till the adults check it out." Ink explained.
"The plant rooms is a big glass room Ink found a passage too ages ago but the kits all agreed not to tell anyone about it as a secret but we aren't really sure its a safe place." Poppy finished.
Gemkit was already gone by this time. She had to find her friend.

After nodding about the fact that they had yet to find a new way to talk to Starclan Basilwhisker thought deeply. He figited as he thought and then finally stopped. "I think my favorite thing about my clan is how tight-knit we are. No one keeps secrets that I know of and we keep open lines of communication with each other." He puffed out his chest showing how proud he was of his clan.

Pumpkinkit whispered, thinking aloud. Then he blushed. "I didn't mean to say that out loud." |

There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He rested his tail on the kit's shoulder. "I can tell that you care enough to be great at anything you would want to do" he said looked deep into Pumpkinkit's eyes. |

Pumpkinkit stared back into the warriors eyes. "I hope your right." He turned away. "Sometimes I am not so sure. I don't know why but I tend to smell like Leaf-fall all the time. Some of the other kits say I won't be able to hunt cause everything will smell me." He explained. "But I can't help it."

"I understand your worry but I wouldn't worry about it until you try it. I think your scent gets more powerful when you're anxious so being more confident in your abilities should lessen it." Basilwhisker said wondering what would cause the kit to smell like that.

"Its not just when I am nervous though. It does get better when I am calm. If I get really excited it gets stronger." He explained. "I keep trying to find a way to use it to my advantage." The scent wasn't bad just a bit unusual. "Its not really a power like some kits have its just there."

Brindlebriar slowly got to her paws. "Well, we dont want anyone getting hurt now do we. Show me where it is and I will go check it out, just to make sure its safe. Your secret is safe with me, as long as no one gets hurt." She looked at Ink, not wanting to make anyone uncomfortable, but wandering kits often found themselves in sticky situations, and if it could be avoided, it should be.
"First, can you show me where the entrance is so I can go scope it out, and then will you go find Gemkit and bring her to me?" She asked. She just want to make sure the area was safe, and if it was, then she would allow the two some privacy and let them talk together alone.

Basilwhisker nodded. "It would be interesting to test out ways to help you use it. I think it would be a comforting scent. Though the prey doesn't run as well I think that Leaffall smells the best out of all the seasons." He said with a purr and a big smile.
