Songbirdkit had simply curled in tighter, though, and he didn't look like he was up to annoying their mother. Finally, Irisflower awoke and Glowingkit crowed triumphantly through the fur of her mother's ear, kneading the older cat's fur with her paws expectantly. After a mumbled noise, Irisflower started shaking her head and Glowingkit squealed as she tumbled down into the moss. The small tortoiseshell regained her footing and stuck her tongue out playfully at Irisflower. As her mother attended to her other siblings, Glowingkit got an idea. Always the instigator, Glowingkit slunk towards the edge of the nest. Peeking behind her to ensure Irisflower was still focused on the others, Glowingkit unsheathed her small claws. The kit had to stop herself from giggling in delight as she climbed out of the nest, wobbling a bit but managing to make it to the other side, where she managed to land on her paws. Irisflower's question reminded her of her dream in which cats had wings and flew around like birds, and she mewed, "I did!" Before realizing that speaking would give away her position to her mother. Glowingkit cursed silently, though she knew no curses, and made a break for it. However, she wasn't quite the best at directions yet, and had no idea which way she was running, if that's what it could be called. Her legs were short and her 'running' could be better described as scrambling.

She was okay with that, though. Less noise the better. But Lav loved her brother, and she loved to spend time with him, even if he preferred being alone most of the time. That was okay, though, everyone liked their alone time, right? Lavenderkit offered Songbird a brilliant smile before looking back up at her mother, ears pricking up when she saw Iris was awaking. She giggled when Glowingkit was gently shaken off of Irisflower, whiskers quivering as she shot her sister a playful glance. When her mother nuzzled her, Lav gave a purr, reaching up to nose Iris' cheek.

"I did, too." Lavenderkit shot Glowingkit a curious glance when her sister took off running, well, scrambling, but then just shrugged it off and looked back up at her mother. "Can we go to the clearing?" She mewed, standing up and stepping back to allow Irisflower to stand. She glanced down at her other sisters for a moment, deciding to let her mother awaken them. Honestly she was surprised that Glowingkit hadnt woken them up with her yelling and stepping on them yet.

His golden Amber hues taking note of everything around them. He perked his ears, staring st Glowingkit for a second. She had to be annoying, didn't she? The tom then turned is gaze to look over at Lavenderkit...probably one of the least annoying of his sisters. But, he did love them all as he should. After all, they were his sisters. As Irisflower spoke, he thought about his own dream. Which had been...well, not pleasant. He just didn't know how to explain it. It wasn't a good dream. That's for sure. And, he was about to speak about it until Lavenderkit asked her question. Ah, yes. The clearing! This made the young tom get up, swishing his tail with twitching excitement. "Can we, momma? Can we!?" Getting out the nursery was a yes to him! He didn't want to be crowded in here. He wanted to be...out there. Exploring. Bothering the small creatures. He wasn't hungry, but he figured he would eat as long as he was able to stretch his legs. He began to brush against his mother, purring in a way that he hoped--oh, how he hoped, she would take them into the clearing. Songbirdkit was that type to constantly stray away from the group when anything catches his attention. Though he knew he should stay next to his mother. Danger lurked around every corner. Even above.

Thinking of exploring the clearing made the tom forget his abnormal dream. It was something...hard to explain. Anyone he told it to, wouldn't believe that he had such a dream. But dreams were dreams. Or, was it a nightmare? Picturing blood on a cat's splayed wide paws wasn't a dream, was it? Songbirdkit shook his head, taking himself back to the presence as he stared at Glowingkit as she tried to scramble away. Though, he ran after her, stopping at the mouth of the den, wishing to step out into the opening. Maybe, he'd even get to see his father. Being around so many she cats made Songbirdkit feel that he was missing out on something of being a tom. No offense, but he loved his mother and sisters more than words could say, and actions could show.

It was a miracle that she had been able to sleep through not one, but two of her siblings tramping over her, one stepping on her paw, the other stepping gently enough on her head, but nothing in the world would wake Gentlekit from her dream.
'Why yes Mr.Dragonfly! I do want to go on an adventure with you!' Grinning brightly at the dragonfly that was just as big as she was, she'd jump onto it's back. The four winged creature would take off into the sky, carrying Gentlekit high into the sky, above the forest, above the territories and into a land of clouds. Birds flew in flocks below them and the sun shone warmly above. Wonder filled her eyes as she took in the sights, her heart soaring just as high as her and the dragonfly were at the moment. Then they were swooping down to just above the canopy, the kitten sticking her paw out to gently graze it across the tops of the trees that almost seemed to move like a sea and seconds later it did turn into a big sea. The water shimmering green and then blue, Gentlekit drawing her paw back in wonder as she watched it blur by beneath them. She caught glimpses of fish beneath the surface, fish with jewels for scales and feathers for fins. 'Do you even know where you're going Mr. Dragonfly?' she questioned with a giggle as the giant insect began to veer for the sky again. 'Of course I do, we dragonflies always know where to go!' replied the creature. The sea turned into mountains, big mountains with snow caps and yet she wasn't cold. A beautiful sight, one that she would never forget and hope to see again in her other dreams. 'Wow... This place is so-
The scenery faded to black as Gentlekit felt a nudge, her eyes fluttering open to reveal a fuzzy sight. "-pretty... Huh..?" Swiping her paws over her eyes with a stifled yawn, she would try again to take her surroundings into account before realizing it had all been a dream. She was back in the nursery with her siblings and mother, her mother was waking her and her other sister up, it seems they were the last to do so. "Food time?" Mewled the she-cat in that gentle, happy voice of hers, her blue eyes shimmering as she looked up at Irisflower. Another yawn escaped her and this time she could feel the twinge in her stomach that signified hunger.
Slowly sitting up, she'd hear her siblings ask if they could go into the clearing at which caused her to blink and look expectantly up at their mother, quietly voicing her own desire to go into the clearing as well and not quite catching the question about their dreams and whether they were good or not. Already hers was fading to the back of her mind.
"I-I wouldn't mind going to the clearing!"

A large ginger tom made his way over to the nursery, poking his head through the entrance. He strained to push his whole body through, due to his broad and muscular stature. After a little wiggling and pushing, Marbledflare finally made his way through the small gap. "They really should think about fathers when they design these entrances." He growled, flicking his tail with annoyance. The tom then cats his eyes over the young lots on the nursery. He hadn't been to see his own kits for a while, the only times he'd seen them was when they were first born, and then about seven sunrises ago, the most recent time. The mother of the kits, Irisflower, and him had a strained relationship. The large tom personally felt an emotion towards her, but he was never sure if it was actually love. And she didn't appreciate his charm that just attracted other felines. So Marbledflare had dubbed her a bit jealous. Of course this was in his mind. The two weren't so sure of each other. They were friends, but having kits together had ruined that relationship. Marbledflare knew the only way the two of them could ever be friend again was if they were more than friends. If anyone could understand that.
The large marbled tabby's eyes caught sight of his kits, all five of them. Two were at his paws, seemingly wanting to go out into the clearing. The other three were still near their mother. "Hi my little glow-girl." He greeted his daughter Glowingkit, flicking her kindly with his tail. "And to you to Songster." He meowed to his only son, nudging him slightly. "Now where's the rest of the crew?" He purred, looking at his three other kits with a playful gleam in his eye. "Lav-Lav? Genti? Chershies?"

Irisflower, while attending to her other kittens, didn't notice at first that Glowingkit had wandered away from the nest. When her kitten spoke though, it was a dead give-away that she was further away than Irisflower would like; she was always the one that seemed to get herself in trouble lately.
The queen sat up now that Cherrykit was the only was who hadn't woken up, needing a higher position to be able to keep all kit within her watchful gaze. However, she was careful not to jostle dark calico kitten too much when she moved; this movement would certainly wake her up though if she wasn't awake already.
"Glo, if you want to go to the clearing then you'll have to stay close to me." She meowed, forcing herself not to make a move to go retrieve her. The queen knew that bribing would work better, especially when she bribed with something that she already had had planned.
She turned her gaze slightly back to Lavenderkit, but kept Glowingkit in the edges of her line of vision to make sure the kitten didn't wander out of the nursery. She honestly looked like she was heading in that direction, but if Glowingkit really did get close enough Iris would be forced to go get her. But, she'd like to think her kitten was smarter than that. Listening to Lavenderkit, she waited to answer the young she-kit's question, knowing that it was going cause a domino effect within her others. And, just as she predicted, the question was echoed by a now-excited Songbirdkit, and then rephrased a bit by a now-very-awake Gentlekit.
However, even though she had things basically handled, the mother began to look a little bit more stressed as Songbirdkit ran after Glowingkit, but was thankful he didn't disappear out of the entrance and knew better to stop. She was a little over her head with all of these little ones, but still wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Just then, Marbledflare wiggled himself into nursery, and Irisflower was instantly relieved. He honestly couldn't have picked better timing. She was struck for a moment by his handsomeness, especially as he stared lovingly at two of his kittens; and she was reminded why she liked him so much. Of course, he still had his faults like any other cat, and she was still trying to accept that. Their relationship was a bit strained because of this, but they usually made it work for their children.
"Okay, well... we can go into the clearing if you can convince daddy to help me look after you guys..." She mewed softly, her voice already filled with amusement as she stared over at Marbledflare. It was her way of indirectly asking for his help without giving it away to the litter.
