Fawnsong was still adjusting to being around a bunch of cats again, but there were a select few she could walk up to. Adderheart was one of them. She remembered stumbling back and laying in the medicine cat den for days with her.

The dilute calico found herself resting on the ground very close to her sister, blue eyes darting around her surroundings. Her ears were constantly swirling around to listen to everything. "Are you okay?" she inquired.

Even in her exhausted state, Adderheart was conscious enough to hear her name being whispered by a deeply familiar name, causing her ears to instantly perk up, eyes to open, and head to lift and turn in the direction in which she had heard it. It didn't take long for her scanning gaze to land on Fawnsong, her sister who was still getting reacquainted with clan life after spending many moons away, captured. She had made sure not to pry and ask about what had happened, but she knew whatever did happen, had changed her sister. That didn't matter though, Adderheart would always be there for her. Though she did feel guilty about not having much time recently to spend with the calico, she hadn't had much time to spend with anyone to be honest.

Sitting up, the sandy tabby would scoot closer to her sister who seemed on edge. If any cat came up, Adderheart would be sure to shoo them away unless Fawnsong seemed okay with them. "Me? Oh yeah, I'm fine, just tired! You don't have to worry about me." She would flash a grin, as if to physically show the fact that she was okay despite her exhaustion. "What about you though? Have you been hanging in alright? Any cats giving you trouble?"

A teasing glint formed again in her eyes as she nuzzled the tom playfully.

Nightsky nudged the white molly, "It was bound to happen one day, ahah," he purred softly. "I would love to see you trying to catch a frog or a lizard. It is not something you just run after like this," he pushed the rabbit with a paw, "It actually requires skill and finesse. Something you're clearly lacking in general." The insult was mild but the coal tom couldn't help laughing. Her expressions was hilarious to watch and it was something he most definitely enjoyed, teasing her at least. Nudging the rabbit closer to her, he said, "You go ahead and start eating it. I'll take whatever is left." The tom wanted to be a good provider for his family, for his kits. He knew they would grow up with the care of the clan but bringing them treats and any extra prey he caught would feel good for the coal tom. "I will catch another rabbit. Imagine our kits, rabbit chasers and lizard hunters."

Loved family? That was laughable, considering the stories he heard of how Dapplestar's kits were never close as family. "Then maybe it isn't her, but if she has a sister that took on a ShadowClan mate--" he knew of Infernostrike, but the description didn't match. Liontuft spoke of a dappled beauty, and Infernostrike had been a red tabby. "Then her sister violated the Warrior Code and ruined us."

To be blunt, he was starting to believe this she-cat was a waste of his time, and it was tempting to head into WindClan camp without her. "What," he hissed. "Is she dead? Spit it out, hare-muncher."

Wincing as the rogue snapped at him for the question, Newtflecks knew that it had been dumb. Of course that was what he had meant, but the younger warrior was just trying to make sure. He wanted as much information as possibly in order to rule out his mother as the molly that he was looking for.

"It wasn't any of her s-sisters," Newtflecks was beginning to get more defensive despite his remaining fear and uncertainty of the rogue. He didn't know much about his other family members, just his mother and siblings, and rarely heard anything about his mother's family. But he never really thought about it until now. He hesitated for a moment as he thought of all of Driftstream's sisters and noticed how he knew nothing about them except they were pretty much all deceased. But still, he disliked this tom saying such things about his family, whether he knew them or not. "The o-only other one of Dapplestar's d-daughters that looked anything like her is T-Tawnypaw. And I d-don't think she had a mate of any sort l-let alone one from S-Shadowclan." The tom was weary about his aunt and tried to avoid her whenever he could, so he really did not know anything about her love life, but still doubted she would take on a Shadowclan mate. "H-ow long ago was this? Are y-you sure it was one of D-Dapplestar's kits?" He still couldn't believe that anyone of his family would destroy this tom's family.

Newtflecks froze as the blunt words. He glanced away for a moment as he thought about what to say. "Y-yes... she is," it still hurt to think about Driftstream being gone. It hurt to think about his siblings like that as well. Though many moons had passed since then and made much easier to deal with it, but it still didn't make it painless.

White'Brook mouth gaped a bit at his minor insult before softly wacking him on the muzzle."Unlike you im much more agile on my paws".Whether what she was saying was true or not, she wanted to feel a least a little confidence in her hunting abilities since she hasn't been able to stretch her legs properly since she found out about the kits."Well, they are certainly going to be talented". Saying that in a slight purr she quickly gave Night'Sky a lick on the cheek as a thank you before taking a small bite of the rabbit, swallowing it she softly spoke."One thing im going to miss is that alone time won't come easy with the little ones constantly watching us". Her tone sounded a little amused as she imagined the scenario.

The black and white tom settled down next to his pregnant mate. His muzzle was stinging a bit but it was softened by the lick from his mate. "Agile? You? You know how to run straight. But what happens if you're faced with a tree? You hit your head and pass out." He watched her eat and at her words about alone time the tom looked up into her green gaze, "Well that can be arranged," the tom purred. "I can take them out on the moor, leave them in a safe hole and we can have our alone time." He was teasing of course, he would never do that to their kits. He then took a small bite for himself, he knew that White'Brook had already eaten enough in order for him to lawfully eat as well. He had fed the queens, his queen.

Jaggedspring sighed "Fine I guess I'll follow you" He got up a stretched for a moment before following his apprentice out of the den. He passed several sleeping warriors very carefully. "Why couldn't you have just waited till I woke up?..." Jaggedspring muttered under his breath.

White'Brook pouted slightly at him,that small bit on confidence she had tried to keep had completely vanished- if she wasn't in a position where she could hurt the kits the White Molly would of definitely shown him that she could doge a tree.Hearing Night'Sky's comment she stifled a small laugh."Pft- Leave them on the moor? ".Her face looked amused as she spoke in a teasing tone."I don't think they would really appreciate their father shoving them in a hole".Saying this she shifted slightly to get more comfortable- the Molly didn't want to hurt the kits by accident so she never layed or sat in positions that could possibly bring them harm.Once she was comfortable she softly leaned into her mates fur, a light and soft purr escaped her as she enjoyed the sun's rays warming her up.

"Because that would spoil the fun of it," she purred with her keen ears turned as far towards Jaggedspring as she could have them. She took up a little more speed as she crossed the camp to get to the exit. She waited for her mentor to catch up before slipping outside.

She breathed a deep breath of new-leaf air, then she let the breath go, and with it also went the hardships they faced the last leaf-bare. As well as the recent battle against the traitors of their own clan. She set forth a hearty pace hoping to wake her mentor up, who at the moment, seemed more tired than herself.

|| @TawnyNeedsACoffee - I moved it here... Cause it was getting just mildly repetitive out on the moor and doing a mild time skip again ||

The wind rustled across the moor as the white and black tom padded into the clearing and looked around. There was no sign of White'Brook, his mate. He didn't know wherever that was good or not... For all he knew she could be inside the nursery resting or she could have decided to for a stroll which would have been an extremely bad idea with her kits so close... no their kits so close. He was still getting used to Windclan truly. It was so different from Shadowclan yet so similar. Though the openness of everything still slightly terrified him he was adapting and that was better than staying in the same course, that was at least the tom's opinion on that. Settling down in some heather along the wall that bordered the clearing the tom set to grooming himself, always keeping an open eye on the entrance to the nursery to watch for White.
