➸ daisybird

daisybird still could not tell if she was dreaming or really awake – but if it was a dream, it sure was one that she didn't want to wake up from as she stepped foot into the leaders den. her steps felt light and airy, her eyes were wide and gleaming with joy. those things contrasted with the circles under her eyes.

"kestrelstar," she called out, "i almost thought you'd just up and left your clan after the first few sunrises," she admitted, though, she didn't sound as angry as she had the past times. she even sounded a bit thankful. "but that's not what i came here to say, if you can believe it."

"hawkkit..she's alive, in the nursery! I'm not sure how-" the memory of carrying hawkkits body briefly flashed in her mind, causing her to grimace for a moment. "but, i'm not complaining though.." it was a blessing of sorts, really, even if she had lost her other kits who she missed dearly. she could manage with one kit.

the grimace had slowly formed into a half smile. "i'll be a queen until she's an apprentice, but i was wondering if an arrangement of sorts could be made, so i could permanently be a queen." daisybird meowed. even if she proved to have..just a bit of bad luck with kits, she seemed to have some spirit at least. "I could take in orphaned kits, or supply milk if another queen can't produce any."
