Willowblaze squealed, leaping after her. "Ferret cmon!" "Stop freaking out." Ferretblaze padded after her calmly, the orange tabby's eyes flickering over the kits. "They're...Kinda cute." Sweetheart sat back, smiling. "You did good sis." Bluesong looked up at her. "Remember when we were apprentices? I never thought then that I could become a mother." She looked at Whisperheart. "If it werent for you, I would have stayed evil. Me and Sweetheart both." Whisperheart purred. "It wasnt who you were meant to be my friend." Sweetheart smiled. "People change people." "Secret of life." Willowblaze smirked. "I wonder if i'll get to mentor one when they're older." Bluesong chuckled and looked down at her kits, beaming proudly, pulling Palekit over to her and licking the kits head. "Maybe you will Willow."

Ospreykit glanced up, his eyes still closed. The small white brown and black mixed kit stared blindly up at the variety of voices that came from nearby. He frowned slightly and released a pitiful mew of dissatisfaction. The young kit turned back, using his nose and tiny black paws to locate his mother's belly where he began to suckle.
[when will we time skip to when they open their eyes?]

Lotusheart had had too much heartbreak and fear since the battle. He was trying to make things easier for her, not harder...and he definitely didn't want to cause her any more heartbreak. The Bombay's yellow hues swept over her kits, noticing that she seemed protective of them around him. Like she thought he might hurt them somehow. Maybe that was just something she did. Surely she wasn't trying to make him feel unwanted or uncomfortable in any way...right? He awaited her reply, a small smile on his maw as he tried to make the mood a little...lighter, perhaps. Although maybe now was not the time. Maybe it would be better for him to just be there for her for now, later he could try and cheer her up a little. Jasperpelt's yellow hues swept over the kits again. They certainly were beautiful. It was terrible that they would grow up without a family. The warrior sighed, looking a little more ruffled than usual. Jasperpelt sat down, his position fairly stiff, and he curled his dark tail around his paws as though to close himself off from the rest of the nursery. Despite loving kits so much, sometimes they made him uneasy. It was as though he thought he might break them, just by touching them. And he definitely didn't want to accidentally hurt Lotusheart's kits. That would be awful...especially after everything else she had already been to. The warrior glanced over at Lotusheart a little expectantly, his tail twitching back and forth as he did so. He was a little worried- after everything that had happened, he wouldn't blame her if she was worried having him around the kits. I hope she thinks she can trust me...I would never hurt her...or her kits...not on purpose, at least, right? Jasperpelt thought, with a nervous expression. The tom sighed, the tip of his tail twitching back and forth with slight anxiety.

A small glimmer of hope swelled through the young kit as they saw life spark back into their mothers eyes after they had inquired about doing something, but that hope dwindled away when they saw her eyes go to Lochkit, the only one of them that truly seemed to resemble their father. Shuffling their paws, Quailkit looked at the ground and flicked an ear as Lotusheart moved her head past them and to the grey and white kit that was their brother, rasping her tongue over him as Quailkit asked about doing something, perhaps a game, to help them with the grief, their yellow eyes focusing on their mother a moment before looking back to the ground.
A small smile formed on the kit's lips as their mother in turn licked them on the top of the head, they had always liked it when she did that, it made them feel loved, comforted. It was a nice warm feeling. But the smile seemed to fade as they noticed the distant look in their mother's eyes, knowing that she was probably still thinking about Fogstep, just like they all were, but she was probably even more effected than them. Quailkit's memory of their father was very vague, but they still knew that they loved him very much and it wouldn't.. Wouldn't be the same without him there.

But hearing Lotusheart's voice agree with them, Quailkit quickly perked up, an excited look dawning on their appearance. What do I want to play? To be truthful, the kit didn't even expect to get this far! They giggled out as Lotusheart's paw touched their nose, scrunching it up and flattening their ears for a moment before they shrugged and looked around the nursery.
"Um.. We could.. We could play catch-the-tail? I-I like that one!" They purred out before gasping out, "Or we could play mossball! I like that one too!"

Considering they were only a moon old, Quailkit wasn't the best at walking yet, they were still really clumsy and tumbled often, but they were getting the hang of it, and had discovered from the other kits the game of mossball. It was hard since thy couldn't quite run yet, but it was still fun! At least they thought so anyways, they weren't sure about their siblings and looked over at them for a moment before blinking and perking their ears up as they heard a new voice. Tilting their head, the fluffy kit looked up at Jasperpelt as Lotusheart curled her tail around them tighter. Oh, he wants to join!

"Of course you can join mister! Well I mean.. I wouldn't mind it, but I can't speak for my siblings or mother." Mewed the kit with a polite smile, squirming out of their mothers tail and stumbling up to peer up at him. "What's your name?"
Quailkit knew that Lotusheart knew him.. Or wait.. Did she? They couldn't tell, but he seemed friendly enough.
"I'm Quailkit!"

All he wanted was to be close to Bluesong and sleep, and now something was disturbing it. He kept his eyes closed, though he knew they would open, he just didn't feel like it. Sleep, that's what he wanted. Although this wasn't exactly going to happen, since just as he started to drift into sleep, a cough fit erupted from the tiny kit. He sat up shakily, the coughing erupting from his mouth like a tiny squeak. He continued coughing for several moments, his breath coming in shallow gasps.
