Thistlestep was beginning to think the Sleepy Thicket was the Sleepy Kit-ket.

He didn't care for the handful of kits around them, but he recognized that Lionstar would be livid if they passed up a chance for free Clan-mates. Even if they were.. gross, stupid babies.

"We don't eat rabbits in RiverClan, really.. or bones, but.." As one of the kits requested to go, he figured this would be the time to offer.

"Why don't you come back with us? We can get you fed, and you three could probably join our Clan. Neither of us are in charge, but Lionstar wouldn't reject kits. You'll get access to a warm bed, constant supply of food, medicine if you get sick.." Thistlestep let that linger.

"The only thing asked of you would be to finish your apprentice training and be a productive member of the Clan, once you're old enough to get to that point. You three seem pretty young, um.. so it'd be a little bit before you're asked to do that. What do you say?"

If they accepted, he figured Fawnsqueak could carry the army back. Thistlestep didn't really want to touch them.
