I mean leafbare is a beautiful time too . plus It gives us a break from this murderous heat. " she meowed and shook her head at the thought of it . All though she does have more fur then most cats so it does kinda make it worse but it's also useful.

The she cat yawned and licked her upper lip then looked around the area with her nose twitching almost like a rabbits . She saw others talking and sharing tongues while apprentice play fought . She looked for Ambercloud which she went on a hunting patrol with once but hurt her leg while trying to climb a tree it's fine now still a bit painful when she puts her weight on it like now but she can handle it . Her right leg started to hover off of the ground and twitched a bit when she looked back in front she noticed it and placed it down wincing tiny bit before looking back at stormstrike. She was more comfortable around Ambercloud then most even if it was the first time the two She cats met ambercloud was kind to her and she liked that . This tom seemed ok too " so ...looking forward to the next gathering ? I am! " She meowed happily . She hasn't been to one yet . But she will make sure to go to the upcoming one.

The grey tom cat nodded his agreement. He wouldn’t want to be sad. That would be….well, sad. And considering the current tensions, the warrior was especially pleased that he was doing okay. If he could be all right during these hard times, then surely he would be fine at any other time. He then shrugged to her next response. “Well, I suppose there is beauty in Leaf-bare but honestly, Leaf-bare carries death with it. Plus anyway, my fur is rather short and thin in comparison to yours,” He pointed out. “You probably have a better time in leaf-bare than most,” he continued with a smile on his maw. “While I on the other paw don’t have to worry about burning in green-leaf,” he purred.

As Dawnlight looked away to look at the clearing, Stormstrike followed her gaze until he could no longer see where she was looking from out the corner of his eye so he did some exploring of his own. The clearing was buzzing with activity as kits played and warriors conversed with each other. A gentle breeze weaved through the camp and Stormstrike could only tell this because of the way the leaves on the trees surrounding the camp moved, being encouraged by an invisible force. He closed his eyes as focused on the touch of the breeze as it coursed through it fur. He felt the strands of soft grass below his paws, picking at it with his claws. The warrior was in amazement that nature could be so soft in such hard times.
He opened his eyes slowly when the she-cat across from him spoke again. His gaze flickered as it focused on the scene in front of him. He nodded. “I admit, I’m curious to know if any of the leaders are ready to settle down for a bit of peace.” Stormstrike was looking forward to the next gathering. He knew inevitably that there would be a fight and he wanted to prevent that where possible, but he was still curious. Had there been a leader wise enough to change their mind?

"Cherrydawn?" A tiny voice swept over the queen's ear like a breeze. She recognized it at once and sighed. She supposed the peace was bound not to last long. "What is it Yarrowkit?" she breathed, a forced note of positivity in her tired meow.

A small black and white fluffball of a kit padded tentatively out of the nursery. His gait was slow and uncertain as he kept his eyes straight and stood on Cherrydawn's other side. The little kits eyes were blue, like his mother's, and sharp with a focus that dulled his attention to everything else. "I was looking at the moss in the den and I noticed that depending on how long the moss has been there, the color is more dull and yellowed. So far I've counted four dried pieces in our nest, six in Maplekit's nest, two in-"

"That's nice, Yarrowkit," Cherrydawn put in gently, cutting off the kit. "But I was talking to Peachrain. When you meet someone new, you should say hi first."

Yarrowkit looked at the senior warrior with wide eyes, noticing her for the first time. "Um...hi."

Peachrain knew kits decently well as she herself has raised kits, she had raised her daughter Bluekit for three moons before she died, and Orchardblossom until 3 moons when Orchardkit refused to go near her and as a result Peachrain’s sister ended up raising Orchardkit. And she adopted a kit named Bingo whom she raised. Kits made her heart hurt some, but she forced herself to turn to the kit, Yarrowkit as Cherrydawn called her,” Hi Yarrowkit. I’m Peachrain. You are right that moss changes color, did you notice that hte longer it’s been there the less soft is it? It does this because it gets dry.” She meowed wondering why she chose to educate the little kit about moss.

Witheredkit purred a little at Swiftkit’s weight against her.

Witheredkit turned to Fernkit,” Okay. Where to?” She asked preparing herself to run as she wasn’t the strongest kit as her name might suggest.

“Hmmm....” Fernkit was thinking hard. She hadn’t opened her eyes till a few sunrises ago, so she didn’t know the camp all that well. Suddenly a place popped into her mind. “Maybe... the Highpeak!” She shot out of the nursery, pausing to let Witheredkit begin running.

Minkkit laid on her side in the clearing bored out of her mind, all the warriors were busy so she couldn't ask them any questions and the queens were tired of answering her questions. Rolling over this grayish brown feline let out a sigh and stretched her leg out as far as they would reach. Just then she spotted a white shape in the entrance of the Elders den. She hadn't been there before, everyone always told her to stay away from the Elders because she'd but them. No one was here to stop her know though. Hopping up she waved her tail behind her this was it, tail high she head towards the Elders den and ducked in. "Hello." She meowed stopping in front of the white feline. Maybe she'd tell her a story or answer some questions. Like why her eyes were cloudy and who she was it if she knew why ever cat had a different colored pelt. Well she'd just have to. With this Minkkit waved her tail behind her flicking some dry leaves off the path.

Whiteeyes's blind eyes gazed over at the entrance as the kit by the name of Minkkit walked in. She let out a purr as she was glad that somebody came into the den. " well hi there sweetheart. It's good to hear a young kit walk into the elders den. " she meowed. The elder stood up and padded blindly over to Minkkit.

Cherrydawn looked up at the warrior with an apologetic look as the little black and white tom bounced up to the warrior. "Yes!" he said triumphantly. "and it's the same with the grass that grows just outside the nursery what it hasn't rained or when the morning is too hot and the water on the ground dries too fast.

"That's called dew, Yarrowkit." Cherrydawn corrected with a shake of her head. "Sorry. He is very curious and in the space inside the nursery, there's not a lot for him to do. and I suppose he must be fond of plants."

as the shecat spoke, Yarrowkit was busily looking the strange, big cat up and down. "Eight... nine... you have a lot of those pink marks on you where there's no fur."

Cherrydawn nearly swallowed her tongue. "Yarrowkit!" aghast, she reached out a paw and caught the young tom by his tail to pull him back toward her. "We don't make comments like that about other cats! It's rude!" With a look of abject horror in her gaze meowed, "I am so sorry, Peachrain."
