Cottonstrike purred that he had gotten her to laugh. He could tell by just her expression. "As long as none of them are afraid of ducks I feel we have absolutely nothing to worry about.", he meowed.

"Yep!" She purred. Greenheart was happy her mate came to visit her.

It was Flyfur, and without much thinking he changed his route.
The young warrior approached his adoptive mother, sitting down near her "hey," he greeted with the usual mutter his voice carried "It has... been a little bit. How have you been?" He looked up, somewhere wanting to ask about what happened to Dogflame, but decided to wait. There were chances it was a sensitive topic and perhaps... He wanted to be able to speak to the one who took care of him for so long without grimm news and memories constantly hanging in the air. Or at least, not start it that way.

//All good! I haven't been up to date on stuff myself.


Flyfur had been lost in thought, wondering if she should start sleeping back in the Warrior's den again. She didn't have anymore adopted children still in the nursery and to be quite honest, she was looking foward to being kit-free for a while and taking some time to.... relax?-if that was the word she was looking for- and take some time for herself and focus and the children she already had.
She was taken out of her mind when a very familiar cat stood in front of her. Grin on her face, she picked herself up from her nest and moved to hug her Gingerfrost, such a proud and wonderful boy.
She let him decide if he wanted her affection as always, but continued on to answer his question.

"I've been well, if a bit stressed. I have two apprentices now and it the nursery has had quite a few new queens coming in."
She purred a bit, thinking about Greenheart especially and her mate Cottonstrike. He was a good boy and the two loved eachother dearly. They were certainly good for eachother.
For a moment she wondered if he knew about Dogflame and Sugarapple and suddenly her heart sank, remembering everything that happened recently, especially remembering Charredpaw's outburst at the turkey hunt.
It didn't.... matter, at the moment. It wouldn't do to be starting the conversation with such topics, but considering the date that was rolling about, it would eventually be imminent that one of their meeting would start sad.
"And what of you? I haven't been at the last few meetings, but has Sootstar given you an apprentice yet?"
He was certainly mature and responsible enough for one.

"hello gingerfrost, I am a new queen" Goldenheart settles in moss

"welcome gingerfrost." Goldenheart mewed "where are you off too?"

[~Echo~]

Echokit tossed a moss ball around by herself. She stopped playing with the moss ball when she saw a beetle. She walked up to it slowly and then crouched. A few moments later she leaped onto it and pushed it aorund.

It was surprisingly comforting to see his mother's grin, and of course he accepted her affection without hesitation. He always did, even if he didn't exactly resemble like a cat who would other's eyes. The tom's tail came to wrap around his paws as he listened and nodded with a quiet "hm" in the background "then I suspect there will be quite a few new apprentices too" His voice was muttery, per usual, but audible enough and dark green eyes lifted when his question was returned "I'm fine. I had gotten an apprentice, Shellpaw, but she disappeared the very day of her ceremony" he scoffed. Although he'd never wanted an apprentice in the first place, he appeared to still be a bit sour about Shellpaw's disappearance - even if one could wonder if it wasn't just because he had woken up early that one morning for nothing "can't say I'm surprised though," he grumbled "Although.. For some reason in the past half moon, two apprentices have come to me asking for training." He appeared rather bothered by it, as it kept him from rest, yet somehow he always ended up doing exactly what they'd come to him for: training. Not that he enjoyed it, not at all, he just... Did it sometimes. Those energy drainers needed it anyway.

Upon that, the ginger tom fell silent for a moment though after a few heartbeats Gingerfrost opened his maw to speak again "if you want- and if it might help- maybe I could take out one of your apprentices for training sometime, or just.. Come a long to help out or something.." His voice drifted off more and more into a mutter, yet he meant what he said. If it could help, he would. He didn't want for Flyfur to stressed if there was no need to be - or in any occasion, for that matter. Even if he wasn't sure if that might part of the cause of it.

Lakekit padded along the nursery, muttering under her breath. Being in the nursery was SOOOOO BORING! She wished she could leave! And finally become an apprentice! But she had to wait one more moon..ONE MORE MOON! then she’ll finally be able to become an apprentice,for now, she was gonna go ahead and talk to her sister, Featherkit, “Featherkit!” She mewed, some annoyance in her tone. @SunriseOfFire

[SunriseOof]

"Lakekit!" Featherkit mewed excitedly, rising up onto her paws. The sight of her sister, as annoying as she was, lifted the young cat's spirits."Would you like to play?" @Christmassy Dashie

”Sure, not like I have nothing else better to do.” The she-kit replied sarcastically, her ears flat, and her tail lashing.

[SunriseOof]

"Oh, you do have something better to do." Featherkit gazed back at her sister steadily, her own tail twitching. "You could be helping the elders, changing their bedding and getting rid of ticks and such. Then you would be helping the Clan and maybe learning something. Although I know you would rather play with me."
Featherkit walked over to Lakekit and smiled. As helpful as that would be, any kit would much rather be playing with their sibling. @Christmassy Dashie
