Perhaps to avoid his parents and their questions. Knowing they've been holding them off for his.. recovery. Cowpaw shook his head as he trudged into the nursery. A rabbit in his maw.

The oversized apprentice didn't even take a notice to Tulipkit. All unaware of who was sitting in the entrance. Cowpaw was also not aware that he was about to -- "Aaa..!" He yelped, making a sharp turn to avoid practically stepping on the young kit. Successfully didn't meant Cowpaw avoided face planting in the floor.

A quiet whine of pain escaped the spotted tom. He could only hope he didn't open up his wounds again.. aaa.. Slowly he rose back up, blinking away his tears of pain. Recalling his poor almost victim, Cowpaw turned back to Tulipkit. Unsure how to convey his question, he took a moment before deciding. "Are... you.. o..okay?" He asked, glancing him over worriedly.

Tulipkit squealed as he watched a big shadow with Silverpelt on it comes into the nursery. It was true! The tale was true, kinda, but it still holds truth. The kit was frozen in panic and expected for the monster to kidnap him.

The monster stumblingly avoided the black kit. Tuliptkit swore he had seen the monster's paw palm. The paw was gigantic! Big enough to smash the kit into pieces. Luckily, the monster likely had an accident so Tulipkit could've used the time to escape back to his mother.

Except, he didn't. He heard the whine of the shadow with-the-Silverpelt. The lean kit came close to it, and saw the red lines of wounds. He couldn't tell where it was, but he knew that the monster is wounded. Soon, the monster got up and Tulipkit backed away. The shadow monster with-the-Silverpelt sprouted cat ears and a tail. Is a cat! Tulipkit realized with embarrassment.

Tulipkit didn't say anything else for a couple of heartbeats after he was asked by the mysterious cat. The only thing that could slither out of his mouth without notice is: "Wow, you're gigantic!"

Oh well, she would have to make do without her. “Ready when you are,” She flicked her tail. “We just need to wait for Specklecloud.”

Lioncloud -->

"Yes. that is true." SHe said, sitting down.

The queen purred, the kitten was quite an energetic one! That's wonderful! I'm doing great too. she said with a sparkle to her eyes. Her smile spread wider, tail swishing lightly side-to-side. Her front paws uncrossed as she stretched slightly. Her belly was growing uncomfortable, so sheshifted the position she was laying in.

The large tom gave a crooked sort of grin at the leaders apparent guilt for putting him in the role of tunneller giving a small huff and admitting "Ah dont feel too bad I do love this rank even if Im still a bit hesitant about it. I suppose this is how establishing a whole new thing goes though I wouldnt know about any other situation myself. Trial and error and such right? For every rabbit caught there's also a trip and a roll down the hill or something as I remember an elder saying. Being given the rank was the happiest day of my life and for all Ive no clue how to introduce others to it I belong down there and its where I can give to my clan the most." Kicking up a bit of dirt bashfully and shaking his head at his own dramatics. Hindsight he was being a bit thick but at least it came from a place of caring and it wasnt too critical of a blunder.


Still.... His expression shifted to one a bit more somber and serious as Twilightstar shared some evidently hard learned wisdom about the nature of responsibility and guilt. Crowtooth supposed if anyone would know how this felt and went it'd be her, leader of a struggling clan whos every decision effected them all and who'd become increasingly weighed down by life as the moons passed. His burden was far far less but the tunneler was beginning to understand this at least and so he took in the words with the gravity they deserved and empathy for what the molly had to have gone through to learn them.
"Your words and reassurance has helped at least a bit I'll be honest. It's hard to tell what Im doin right or wrong with this rank and there's few I can ask for advice or correction so even though there was somethin to correct it's kinda a relief to know what it is that needs fixin so I can fix it. Dont know if that makes sense but I'll do my best to keep what ya said in mind, thank you."
He let out a rueful wheezing chuckle and rolled his shoulders to loosen them staring up at the celling and reflecting "You prolly or already have had a conversation like this with Wolffang or Peachfrost I suppose though their burden is more then mine. 'Nature of responsibility' and all that." Before looking back down at Twilightstar.


"An' I wouldnt be too worried about my voice it complains no matter what I do Ive learned to just deal with it. Stars Im not even bitter about it anymore, sure I cant run but it lead me to the deep and Im happy with that. Still dont understand how a illness as a kit can have this effect but I suppose Im not the medicine cat so thats normal."
Sure his voice may be forever broken raspy and deep and breathing sometimes hurt and was more difficult then it should be but he'd long since learned to adapt.

Earthpaw shifted his paws nervously. What if he messed up? What if he got hurt? His mind swirled with everything he thought could happen. He scored the ground with his claws. To his surprise, the marks were deep and long. I’ll be the best fighter ever! he thought happily.

SwiftPetal was looking for EarthPaw with a small hum a bit worried when she couldn’t find him, once she did she ran over and smiled softly “ hello there EarthPaw” she sat down in front of him “ it’s nice to actually meet you “

“same.” he meowed quietly. He then bounced. “So, what are we gonna do first? Hunting, fighting…” he went on with list of what they could do. He finished, out of breath.

She laughed softly “ changing the moss in the queens den first of all, as well as some food for them. Life isn’t all about the exciting things you know” she stood up
