At Nightshiver's question she shook her head, and the joy from before came shining back to life. "Nope! Just wanted to bring you the flower 'cause I knew you'd like it."
Despite being an older kit, Sagekit hadn't really made any friends yet. As such it wasn't uncommon for her to bring Nightshiver little gifts and loiter around her when she wasn't exploring camp. ShadowClan was still new to her, and a little bit scary.

Nightshiver held back a light sigh at the kitten's words, a smile permanent on her maw. She understood how Sgaekit felt... And could tell the young one understood the queen's worries as well. Somewhere, it reminded her of her brother, Minkkit, he certainly could have done something similar.
"Even so.. I'd rather... you.. stay.. inside camp. ..Alright?"
She spoke softly, looking at the kitten with a gentle expression. Hopefully Sagekit would understand that she was only worried about her... And frightened - frightened she'd lose another child to the abyss. It had been the fate of Mothkit and Bunnykit, her two foster children before Sagekit, and her sibling's fate as well. Maybe she was exaggerating, but the queen wouldn't lie and say she was fine with kittens leaving camp bounds.
Ah, but the flower was pretty. It was pretty. She smiled again looking at it, her worries easing. It was such a touching thought, that Sagekit had gone out of her way to retrieve the flower simply because she knew she'd like it? The queens couldn't keep the smile off her face.
"Thank.. you"
She mew, eyes squinting happily. How could she stay on the topic of Sagekit leaving camp when she was being so sweet? Nightshiver had nearly forgotten all about it, just looking at how happy Sagekit was and the pretty flower.
"How about.. this,"
Nightshiver tilted her head slightly.
"We'll.. explore.. the.. territory.. together. As soon... as you.. become.. an.. apprentice -- but... you.. can't.. leave camp.. until.. then. Does that... sound.. fair? I'm... sure.. there are... many things... to see... inside.. of camp.. as well!"
She gave a gentle smile, looking down at the kitten, hoping it sounded like a fair deal -- she just wanted Sagekit to be safe.

Ah... How was she supposed to explain this? Does a kit so young know about the dark forest -- does he even need to know right now? Well, no need to make him upset. Nightshiver gave a gentle smile and nodded.
"Most... do. Though.. not before... a long.. time has... passed"
The was a white lie, some went to the clan of the stars even before they could be apprenticed -- but Harekit didn't need to know that. She didn't need to remind herself of that.

Ruekit then thought of something... "uh... Miss Nightshiver... have you Seen any of My Siblings? i.... i think i might be accidently avoiding them? or just not... running into them... "

Nightshiver couldn't help the little giggle seeing the kitten put the pinecone on her head, sticking on due to some substance she'd have to believe is harmless -- other than being sticky, that is. She was glad to hear the Mr.Coonie is such good company, despite being an inanimate object.
"I'm.. glad"
She hummed in reply, but then came Ruekit's second question. It caught the queen off-guard, and for a moment she felt her chest tighten. Right. There had been more than two kits in Dappledleaf's litter, only Ruekit and Flowerkit remained. She could imagine how worried the kitten might be about her siblings, as she once had been too. But in an attempt to comfort Ruekit, the forever queen smiled.
"I know... Flowerkit... must be... around.. somewhere. But.. if I.. see... anyone... else, I.. promise... to let... you know. Alright?"

"Nightshiver," he said cooly, "get over here, I'm not taking another step inside of this lunatic asylum."

oh dear. Just like when Woollyfeather came with some questions, this time too the queen hadn't expected visitors. Her ears perked hearing the cool voice, worried once more that she may be in trouble, but Nightshiver had to remind herself that perhaps this cat just... Needed something. And in that case it was her job to step up. Swallowing she turned around and made her way over to the warrior she recognised as Shadefrost, giving a dip of her head in greeting.
"What.. do you.. need? Oh.. who is... this?"
Noticing a young kit with, one she didn't recognise nor smelled of ShadowClan, it soon dawned on her that he might've come to hand a newly joined kitten over to her. That would explain the new presence, yes. Not wanting to appear intimidating (if that was even possible) Nightshiver gave the kitten a gentle smile before returning her attention on the warrior.
