All things considered, this was exactly the sort of tired that felt Elmshadow feel alive; he couldn't stand an idle life. There wasn't anything immediately pressing, he considered going to the nursery but at this moment that felt like a chaotic chore. The nursery was cramped and full. No, he'd stick to visiting his kits only while they played outside and spending the occasional night after all the kits had fallen asleep.

He strolled towards the fresh kill pile, not fully intending to take anything. He took note that it could use some restocking but nothing pressing, that was a status that'd be expected with bare-leaf coming. He let himself walk to the side of the clearing and sat down in the shadow of the cliff to idly watch normal clan life passing by in his clan.

I guess that's bad though, right? It will probably make it much harder for him to hear that I am expecting as well...slowly then, she thought

"Would you like to go for a walk? Hunt? I've been noticing the prey pile getting lower and lower." Ok, good start so far. This probably wouldn't arouse suspicion, or so she hoped.

(I know this isn't too intimate, but I'm still not sure about plot direction. Can u tell me if this is good?)

Elmshadow's green gaze turned slowly as Whisperwing approached him. He shot a quick glance towards the nursery then back to Whisperwing and smiled. "It's good to see you. Clan life has been keeping me busy, true, but I'm never too busy for good company." He took a heartbeat before meeting her eyes steadily. "Goldenstep is good but that's not who you want to talk about."

Elmshadow rose to his feet and took a step towards the she-cat. "It'd be a pleasure." He tipped his head towards the entrance. "After you."

"A-alright, she said, unwillingly showing nervousness." She padded over to the entrance, hoping Elm was following. As she walked, the thoughts started to pour in, all of them talking over the others.

He doesnt need this news right now.
It would be worse to wait.
What about his mate? He could get in trouble!
Goldenstep knows he has flings, Im sure.

Oh well...here goes nothing she thought.

All of this suddenly caused her to stop moving for like five seconds. Crap! Elm would surely notice!

(So Whisper'wing is supposed to be pregnant already? Just refresh me on that.)

Whisperwing wasn't his go-to she-cat and he had no intentions of giving her the illusion that they were mates, so whatever she was going through didn't strike Elmshadow as his business. But she-cats liked that little display of caring. He'd hoped this would be exactly as Whisperwing had put it, a leisurely stroll, maybe a hunt. Now it was looking like she wanted to unload something off her mind. He sighed inaudibly. When she stopped in front of him, Elmshadow sidled up beside her and meowed lowly, "What's on your mind, doll?"

Daisypaw was defiantly bored. Foxstorm was now Maggotpaw and Badgersight was her replacement mentor! That good for nothing half blind.. thing would barely be able to train her! She cast a glance across the clearing towards Maggotpaw. She let out a sigh and walked over towards her.
