A sympathetic smile sprouted on the tom's maw. "Well," he began. "I may not be a queen, or even a molly, but I sure wouldn't mind keeping an eye on the little ones if you ever need to stretch your paws a bit." He gave a slow blink, shaking his pelt out. "I may not look it, but I can actually be a very good kitsitter."

Antfrost gave him a small, barely noticeable smile, "I may take you up on that offer one day" she responded, glad that she didn't have to always be in the nursery now. And honestly, she was sure that Tue kits would like him, too.

He slowed only a fraction as he neared the nursery. Rather than pop hos head in and announce his arrival, he scittered ahead, careful not to step on any of the kits.
"I am sorry, love. I am sorry I was not here. But I'm here now," he promised urgently as he found room for himself and settled in beside Sunpetal.

“Look at this one.” She pointed down at a kit. She let out a yell. “It’s not breathing!”

With a rush of panic, he leaned in and began giving quick licks to the kittens chest after further cleaning around the mouth and nose to open the airways. Was it.... was it doing anything?
He hadn't been fond of the idea of kittens, but his mate always wanted them but seeing the lifeless kit before him was almost too much. He'd gotten so excited for the upcoming babies, wanting nothing more than to help Sunpetal raise the little fur scraps. He couldn't stand the idea of losing one. Not now. Not when he wanted them.

He eventually gave up and turned back to Sunpetal, dejected. "I'm so sorry. I don't think this one made it." He came up and offered a comforting nudge. "Are there others? How are they doing?"
Please, please don't let them all be dead.

Spottedsun smiled back. "I hope you do," he meowed, sincere. Spending some time in the nursery watching kits may not be the ideal situation for most warriors, but the spotted tom actually didn't mind it at all. It gave him the opportunity to make friends - and yes, he thought that kits could be actual friends - and who knows, maybe he'd end up mentoring one of the kits in here someday. The thought made his stomach do an excited leap; he may be young, but he was already looking forward to teaching an apprentice the ways of the warrior code.

When Wavekit backed back into the nursery she bumped into a Tom she didn’t know. Sorry. I’m Wavekit! Who are you? she asked.

"Antfrost! Look what I found in the fresh-kill pile!" Sootkit said as she tumbled into the nursery with a frog. "Why would some cat eat a frog?" She said, wrinkling her nose. "Are the kits old enough to play yet?" She looked at her little step-siblings. "Oh, who's this?" Sootkit looked at Spottedsun.

Okay, this was getting annoying, real quickly.
Coralkit huffed, putting a white, ginger dipped paw onto the kits forehead. "flea brain... you're even flea sized! I bet you dont even know a hecking flea is," They sneered through gritted teeth but paused, realising they were... well... a kit!

Coralkit removed their paw with a small sigh, peering down with a softened expression. "Try again Co-ra-l. I think you got the kit part pretty good but that's not a me issue," They meowed, watching the feline closely.

Frostkit would lay curled up in the far side of the nursery softly snoring ignoring the sounds around her.

Heartbroken would be understatement as to describe the numb Tom.

Bumblebelly made his way into the nursery, his body in auto mode as the world began deafened to his ears.
What had he done? the realisation of Ravenpaws fate sunk into the depths of his depressed body. He had done this, he had sealed the loyalties of a feline. How much had he ruined their lives? The thought of it all was making Bumblebelly sick.

The Tom lowered his limp body into his nest, mindful of the small kitten who seemed to always occupy it. Bumblebellys scent held a sour tone to it, his heart even more so.
