They seemed pretty busy after all, taking care of all of those little kits!
Littlekit nodded her affirmation - she had slept in all of these nests before, when there was a queen there to feed her and keep her warm, at least.

Tuftbreeze shook her head, turning her attention to the queens. "Well, you're supposed to have your own nest, but obviously none of them care enough to make sure you had one." She shot icy, accusing glares to each queen, who each turned their head away in turn, flicking their tails in discomfort. The molly trudged over to a vacant nest near her, giving it a good sniff. "This one hasn't been used in moons, it can be yours, Littlekit." She shuffled the moss around with a paw, checking to make sure there was nothing in it that could make the young kit uncomfortable. Satisfied, she motioned to Littlekit to come over with her tail. "That wasn't so hard now, was it?" She asked the queens, not looking at them this time. "Littlekit, this is your nest, okay?" She gave the kit a small smile, patting the nest with her paw.
