As Glowingkit began to climb onto her head, she heard Lavendarkit make her way over to her, and she knew that she had to get up now. "Mhmm," She murmured, her green eyes blinking open once more. Glowingkit's growing teeth pinched at her ear, so she gentle shook her head to dislodge the tiny kitten, and raised her head slightly so that she had a better angle to look around. She could tell that three of five had woken up from the ruckus, but that only two had moved from their spots in her belly fur. "Okay," She cooed softly, leaning over to nudge her other two daughters. "Wake up, my girls, it's food time." Irisflower gave Songbirdkit a lick uptop his head, not bothering to tell him to wake when she already knew he was. Her only tom was quiet, and Irisflower accepted that. She remained in her laying position, waiting for all of her litter to awake before she made a move to go find food for all of their hungry mouths; it wouldn't take long for them to be ready to go though. Turning away from Songbirdkit until he was ready to come out of her fur, she nuzzled Lavendarkit who was in reach of her muzzle. "Did you guys have good dreams?" Just a small distraction for them until they were all ready to go eat. She had decided that this time they were going to make the trek to the freshkill pile instead of letting the prey come to them. It was about time they saw the clearing anyways, and maybe it would tire them out a little bit.

Glowingkit peered down at Lavenderkit as her sister's voice joined her own. However, the other tortoiseshell remained on the mossy ground instead of assisting Glowingkit in her attack on Irisflower's ear. Movement caught her attentions and she turned slightly, her mother's ear still clamped between her small jaws, to look at her brother. Songbirdkit had simply curled in tighter, though, and he didn't look like he was up to annoying their mother. Finally, Irisflower awoke and Glowingkit crowed triumphantly through the fur of her mother's ear, kneading the older cat's fur with her paws expectantly. After a mumbled noise, Irisflower started shaking her head and Glowingkit squealed as she tumbled down into the moss. The small tortoiseshell regained her footing and stuck her tongue out playfully at Irisflower. As her mother attended to her other siblings, Glowingkit got an idea. Always the instigator, Glowingkit slunk towards the edge of the nest. Peeking behind her to ensure Irisflower was still focused on the others, Glowingkit unsheathed her small claws. The kit had to stop herself from giggling in delight as she climbed out of the nest, wobbling a bit but managing to make it to the other side, where she managed to land on her paws. Irisflower's question reminded her of her dream in which cats had wings and flew around like birds, and she mewed, "I did!" Before realizing that speaking would give away her position to her mother. Glowingkit cursed silently, though she knew no curses, and made a break for it. However, she wasn't quite the best at directions yet, and had no idea which way she was running, if that's what it could be called. Her legs were short and her 'running' could be better described as scrambling.
