RiverClan Clearing

Puffing himself up to try and appear bigger for their game, he bounded forward until he reached the small patch of moss.


"Blossomheart, do you think this will be enough for our sick Warriors?" he asked, tilting his head. He knew that, even if someone was a Leader, they didn't know everything, and sometimes even Leaders needed to ask someone for advice, or for their opinion. Besides, what fun would it be if he made all the decisions? Blossomkit would have no fun if that were the case!

Ravenkit stumbled as a gust of wind blew through the Camp, and he had to dig his claws into the ground to keep himself from tumbling over. Embarrassed, he licked the locket of white fur on his chest, hoping Blossomkit hadn't noticed.

She wasn't quite used to being called by the new name 'Blossomheart' that Ravenkit had given her. So, when he spoke, she was barely listening... as though she were somewhere else entirely. Realizing this with a jolt, she jerked her head up. "Hm? What... oh yes, yes, yes... I think that's plenty, Ravenstar." A smile appeared on her face as she picked up some of the moss. She missed Ravenkit nearly falling over; though when she looked back he wasn't looking at her, so she figured something might be wrong. Used to blaming herself, she imagined it was something or another that she did, and decided to leave the problem be until he told her. After all, there was no kindness in pestering another cat about something wrong with herself. That would be annoying! And, the last thing Blossomkit wanted to be after all of her friend's kindness was annoying. Sorry if I'm bothering you, she spoke the words over and over again in her head, getting them perfectly until she was sure she could say them as soon as a problem appeared. Quietly she settled down, the tip of her tail twitching. "We'd better get this to the elders, Ravenki- Ravenstar." How embarassing! She'd nearly forgotten they were in a game, and the words that she knew she was supposed to speak were on the tip of her tongue, ready to leave her maw at a second's notice.

Ravenkit couldn't help notice Blossomkit's sudden change in demeanor, and he tilted his head.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "Is it something I said?" The tom didn't want to lose this new friend, and although he didn't think he said anything that could be taken as offensive, he could never be too sure. Helping others was his favorite thing to do, and hurting them was the worst feeling in the world to the young kit.

Without taking his eyes off of Blossomkit, he began halfheartedly scraping moss together in an attempt to keep their game moving, so it would be an easy transition once they finished this conversation. The springy green fronds were light and feathery, a few small strands floating up and tickling his nose and making Ravenpaw sneeze.

Pawsteps behind her confirmed that he was still following, but they were considerably slower than before. The silver she-cat wondered if she'd hurt his feelings. (To the territory?)

Marshfur could see that she was heading for the Riverclan territory. He decided to continue walking, and see what her reaction would be. He wasn't stalking her—he was just interested in where she was going.

(Yep)

"Yes! I mean, no, no... I mean..." Her voice trailed off as she tried to work out what she wanted to say in her head. Something she did when she got confused and so far, it had always worked for her. Deep breaths, Blossomkit. Deep breaths. She told herself, speaking calmly in her head and then opening her maw. "I'm fine, you didn't say anything... just got a little... y'know, stuff happens sometimes, I'm just... antsy?" The last part of her speech sounded like a question, but at least she had managed to get it all out. Without really messing up this time. Nice! The white and brown kit congratulated herself, smiling as broadly as she could. Quickly she began to work, bunching the moss together alongside her newfound friend-- the first one she had gotten in quite a while. The moss was soft and spongy, and she realized why it was used to bring water. So, it absorbs the water... but it would probably sort of drip, maybe... still bringing quite a bit of water, so cool! She thought, prodding at the spongy bunches with a paw. They were bigger then her own paws; not surprisingly, Blossomkit was quite small, miniscule, even. Not like her brother. Well... half-brother, he was bigger and stronger then she would ever be. "Do you have any siblings?" She had meant to ask the question in her head, but it had just sort of popped out... of course, she was always finding things popping out even when she didn't want them to. How irritating that was, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Oh, good." Ravenkit meowed, relieved he hadn't done anything to upset his friend. Quickly, he added: "But if anything is ever bothering you, you can talk to me about it."

Content with what he had said and how Blossomkit had responded, the little black tom turned his full attention to the moss, curling his paw so he could claw the moss from it's roots at a good angle. There wasn't very much moss there to begin with, enough for a kit's nest, at most, but perhaps they could bring it to Geckoleaf so he could use it to fetch water later on.

When Blossomkit asked if he had any siblings, he shook his head. "Nah, I was the only kit in my litter. I mean, my mother might have had another litter after me, but I wouldn't know." Ravenkit's voice turned bitter at the last sentence, and he dug his claws into the moss. He loved his mother, but he also hated her for leaving to become a kittypet with his father. The little tom was silent for a moment, then he shook his head a little. "Never mind that, though, what about you? Do you have any siblings?"

I thrashed around in the water. I notice a small log floating in the lake, I attempt to grab onto it but I'm too weak to grab and pull myself up. As a kit there is nothing I can do but hope another cat comes to my rescue.

( @Liquoris Sorry it took so long! )
As the sun broke out from behind a patch of cloud, Blazingheart relished it's rays, as they warmed his paws and ears. He looked around camp, his deep blue eyes scanning the clearing for someone to speak to. As he did, his gaze lingered on the nursery and remembered the single mother that had been left in there, with her kits. StarClan, did he hate that tom who abandoned her. He almost visibly curled his lip in a scowl, but he refrained from doing so as he rose to his paws. Closing his eyes for a mere second so he could take in a few more seconds of the NewLeaf heat, he felt a purr rumble in his throat. He padded over to the fresh-kill pile, the grass lightly tingling his pads. The pile was piled with fresh water voles and fish, normal prey for the season. He glanced at the pile for a second, deciding what to choose, before lowering his head and sinking his jaws into a fresh carp, still warm and wet from the river. He remembered when he used to catch fish and bring it back to his... son. Suddenly memories of his family flooded back to him - the family he had left - and he tried to push the melancholy thoughts to the back of his mind. He picked up the fish and turned toward the nursery, bounding toward the den with a new energy. He swiftly stopped, his orange banded tail flicking. Gently dropping the carp on the ground, he pushed a little ways into the den, briefly pushing a tendril of reed away from the entrance with his paw. He glanced inside. "Birchstep?" He called. Suddenly he spotted the she-cat, laying on the ground with her kits, looking thin. "Oh, hey," he greeted, stepping in a bit more and dragging the large carp inside. "I thought you might want this. I didn't know if anyone had brought you anything to eat today or not," he said, nudging the prey toward her with his pale muzzle.

(Hey! I can see your new here, by your join date ^^ I love your roleplay, but here the roleplaying style is usually in third person, to make it like a story, y'know? Like, instead of saying "I thrashed around in the water..." you could say, "[Insert kit's name here] thrashed around in the water. Noticing a small log floating in the lake, she attempted to grab onto it but she was too weak to pull herself up. As a kit, there was nothing she could do but hope that another cat would come to her rescue."
If you haven't already, I recommend posting something in the "Introductions" thread to introduce yourself to the community here.
<3 Hope you enjoy your time here!)

(It's fine lolz)

The fuzzy she-cat pricked her ears at her name. The voice was recognizable to her, and she smiled as she turned her head to view her friend. "Hello, Blazingheart. Thank you, but you know I can get up and feed myself," she giggled. "How have you been?" she asked. "I haven't really seen you for a while." Her golden eyes never left the friendly tom's. That is, until Otterkit decided to go play with his tail. When she saw her small kit out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at her belly where the other two kits were, then back to Otterkit. 'Great Starclan she's fast,' she thought. "Otterkit, stop bugging Blazingheart," she laughed. When the small kit came padding slowly back to her mother, Birchstep licked the kit. "I'm sorry about her, she's dreadfully bored in the Nursery. I can't say I blame her," she said with a light giggle at the end. She thought back to Yewheart, slight pain entering her heart at his treachery. She then lightly shook her head. She should have seen it coming. He did seem like the wandering type of cat, and he was from Skyclan. Besides, he gave her three beautiful kits. What more could the she-cat want? 'Maybe a father for them,' she thought, watching Otterkit lay down with her sisters and swiftly fall asleep. She then turned her attention back to her friend. "Sorry," she said simply, smiling fully at the handsome tom.

"I've been well," he sighed, watching the kit trail back playfully to his mother. He smiled, his ginger tail flicking. "And Otterkit's no bother, trust me," he chuckled, in light spirits. He glanced dubiously at the prey, thinking back to what the she-cat had said before the kit had interrupted her. "I know you can, but you seem pretty busy with these three," he said, hoping he hadn't offended her. Changing the topic, his eyes wandered to Birchstep's three kits, Otterkit looking annoyed he hadn't been able to play. "What did you name the other two?" He asked. He hadn't spoken to her since the kits had been born - since the controversy of their father had sprung up around the Clan. He had decided not to ask since the moment he found out his friend was expecting, and he didn't intend to. He sat down, curling his ginger tail neatly around his paws. He thought back to his own family, and wished that he wouldn't keep going back to those memories. That family was gone now - they hadn't understood his grief and his need for revenge for his father's death. Now that the evil era was over, and that Apple had been avenged, he thought frequently of going back and trying to find them. But he knew that after his betrayal, his mate nor his son wouldn't want to see him or speak to him.This is my new life, my new Clan, he thought happily. He had told no one about his family in the year he had been in the Clan, and he didn't intend to. He glanced back at Birchstep, patiently awaiting her response, desperate to get his mind off of Jay and Sun.
