Copperfire looked at the two, unimpressed by their tardiness. In the quiet moment between the last of the apprentice ceremonies and the upcoming warrior ceremonies, he answered his impatient apprentice: "I appreciate your eagerness, but we do have to listen to the rest of the meeting. I'm not sure others would enjoy watching us leave before their part of the ceremony when they listened to your part of the ceremony. That being said, we can go immediately after the meeting." Hopefully that would shut Swanpaw up for the time being. He didn't want to disturb the meeting and now that the apprentice was his responsibility, he'd have to keep her in line too.

“Oh, right, sorry.”, Swanpaw apologized. She glanced at the ground briefly, then silently looked over to the apprentices that would soon be made warriors. She wouldn’t want to interrupt the meeting, and her mentor seemed reasonable when he mentioned not leaving during or right after it. “I guess there are just some things meant to not be spoken out loud.”, she thought to herself, worried that she’d already disappointed him.

LeafNight [She/Her]

→LeafNight paused as MapleLeaf padded up to her and the kits, a slight fear flashed in her eyes before meowing "SweetSwirl- She and I were out and- and- she started kitting early-" the sound of the queen's cries replayed in the molly's head, these screams would haunt her forever.. "Im not a medicine cat so- she- she and one kit didn't make it."

LeafNight hesitated, she didn't really want to go in depth with her explanation for why she had the kits, so she took a deep breath to steady her voice. "You're a mentor, if anything, my mate, RainySpirit, will probably nurse them, she and I have just had kits together so it makes sense. Lets- lets just get these four to the medicine den before we really figure anything out." She lifted the she-kit gently by the scruff before flicking her ears towards the three tomkits who remained on the bark. "Grab one and then we can double back for the other two."

Without checking that MapleLeaf was following she trotted swiftly towards Sundust's den, as she crossed the clearing she passed the nursery, her and Rainyspirit met eyes, Rainyspirit looked quite confused and worried but padded out of the den wordlessly and lifted one of the tomkit's before walking next to LeafNight "Look, I don't know what happened, or why your covered in blood that doesn't belong to you.., but these kits seem like they really need help, so ill ask questions later." the tortie said around the kit, her voice muffled slightly, LeafNight nodded, thank starclan she and her mate have a healthy relationship.

Littleleap eyes went big with excitement when she figured out she was getting an apprentice. The she-cat then slightly lifted her head shouting out the words "Marigoldpaw and Wisteriapaw!"

Poor Sweetswirl... StarClan, please watch over her and her kit... Mapleleaf dipped her head with sadness and respect to the queen before looking back up at Leafnight.

"Rainyspirit will be a wonderful foster mother to them, I have no doubt," she purred gently, attempting to calm the she-cat down. Without saying anything further, Mapleleaf bent down and grabbed a tom and straightened herself back up to follow Leafnight and... Rainyspirit?

Perking her ears in thanks to Rainyspirit as she approached her mate for the help, Mapleleaf padded after the other two she-cats and went into the medicine den. Hang on little ones... we'll get you to cats who'll do everything they can to help you... Mapleleaf purred, hoping the kit in her jaws would relax.

Thrushfur entered the nursery carrying two voles in his mouth, seeing his 3 kits playing with each other. He purred with amusement. Then switched his gaze to Quailfur as he bounded over and dropped the 2 voles in front of her. One vole was for her and the other for him, for him to share tongues and such. He moved slightly so that he faced the nursery hole of which cats enter and go. He flicked his tail as he moved a vole in front of him.

Making sure not to disturb to nursing queen, she's already kicked him out last time. He didn't want to be permanently kicked out. He simply wanted to share tongues with his mate, watching his kits play at their leisure.

[ @Lilacquartz, also how old are the kits now? ]

[SpiritedWarrior]

Crowkit turned his attention to Thrushfur as he entered and Crowkit wobbled his way over, his vision slightly getting better as he got older. He plopped down beside his father and mother with his hind legs spread out. Crowkit's little ears swiveled in an attempt to be able to hear, though he can only hear the distorted version of what anyone said. The tom then smelled the air and in came the soft, milky scent of Quailfur, his mother. He tried once more, this time getting the fresh scent of his father, who smelled like recently caught voles.

//Do the kits begin to talk yet or wait until they're a bit older?

Not many cats in the nursery seemed to like the early hours, which was understandable since a bad night's sleep could really drag down one's mood, but Brightkit most certainly wasn't one of them. She was quite the morning person actually, and as soon as the rays of sunshine started to light up the clearing and nursery the dull brown Bengal bounced up, full of energy. She made sure to be quiet of course, since she didn't want to wake up anyone else and ruin their morning. So quiet as a teeny tiny mouse she snaked her way through the nursery, creeping silently between the dens until she got outside.

She successfully made it to the clearing without disturbing anyone, which meant it was time for phase two of her little plan; to find the largest, healthiest, brightest, and most beautiful flower. Of course, her selection was... a bit limited, since she wasn't allowed to leave camp yet. But she could... probobly find a good flower here in camp. Maybe behind the dens? The flower would have needed to get a good amount of sunshine of course to look its best, and not be hidden away from the rain, but also not have been trampled by anyone. A lot of requirements, some of which almost contradicted each other somewhat in some ways, but by no means impossible!

She just needed to be structural with this, and check each place where flowers could be. So, naturally, she started with checking the nursery and behind it, since that was the place she was most comfortable with and knew the best. She looked thoroughly all around it, but no good ones seemed to be in sight. She let out a puff of air in a mix of a sigh and a huff with a somewhat disappointed glint in her green eyes. But that was fine, there were still plenty of places to check.


[Also, if your character decides to help Brightkit find the flower, please DO NOT have them succeed in finding a good one! (they can find a little more crapy ones though) <3 ]

[ im sorry if this isn't very long i don't do much writeing at my time but im gonna try and respong with a long sentance] [by sentence i mean paraghraph]

robinflight paced back and fourth as his eyes gazed the clearing,* seems busy* he thought then laying in the shade his thought disturbed him, his paws trembled and his tail shook as if there was a earthquake, his head lowered making him sigh sad,* what could i possibly be happy to do with things going on* he thought as his paws fiddled while trembling,

he looked up then seeing a kit* whats a kit doing outside in the clearing?* he thought as he watched the kit with delight his gaze watched the kit looking for a flower, he got up and stretched and looked around for a flower, he found a flower that was nearly wilted* close enough* he thought as he began to head over there his pace sped up,

as he was near the kit his smile spreaded wanting to give a happy greeting with a curious look"hello there young one whats your name im robinflight i figure you might want a flower" he says hoping brightkit will accept it his gaze became a curious look* a young kit sneaking out well thats daring* he thought as his tail gave a flick and his whisker twitch, he set the flower down in front of the kit and gave a flick of and ear with a smile following it

Fallowkit already full and satiated with hunger turned her gaze to Crowkit and Quietkit, seeing how they were already standing, this inspired her to try it, first she stood on her front legs leaving some weight on them and then did the same with the rear. But she did not realize that her tail was to one side causing her to fall on her side, before this the she-cat tried again but correcting her previous tail error she turned towards her littermates but when she felt a new presence she called her attention turning to see that it was Thrushfur, his father. Fallowkit got excited and started to run clumsily, but before her new achievement she got distracted and without looking where she was going, she collided with her father's leg causing her to fall.

Acornpaw peered timidly into the elders den, before padding inside. The elders must be really wise, they're so old. Acornpaw regarded himself selfconsciously, hoping he wouldn't seem like a fool to the oldest members of the clan. Is my fur clean? I hope I don't accidentally step on their tails.. He clenched his jaw, tightening his grip on the piece of moss in his mouth. His nose wrinkled in regret, as the mouse bile soaked moss gave off a foul smell, directly into his nostrils. "Urmph- I'm here to get rid of the ticks." Acornpaw mewed to the elder, muffled by the bundle of foul smelling moss.
