Reflexes too unhurried from a lifetime of disuse to parry the other feline's blow, Croweyes grimaces against the sensation upon his maw, ebony nose crinkling amid a scorning glower. The notion of his clanmates not particularly caring for his narratives, each of which were toiled & plucked from his own mind, was not a new one. And yet, a pang of woe diffuses his veins, hastening the belaboring of his heart just enough for the tom to flick his tail once in a manner that is so passionate yet impassive that he, himself, hardly discerns the outburst of emotion that he's allotted his form to portray. The chronicling warrior takes particular caution to ensure that his expression remains unwavering.

"Oh, it'd be unwise to chance it," he persists, timbre as inert and aloof as it ever is. A pause as the tom begins grooming his chest, persona uncaring. "But I'll wait for your return, if you're so adamant. And, if by some terrible, gruesome coincidence you don't return, I'll alert Brindlejaw or someone, hm?"

By this point, Smokefoot really thought he was going to convince the other to get off his lazy hide. However, this monochromatic tom was just as persistent as he was. It would have been wise, and much easier if the small black tom had moved on, found someone else to take out with him, but NOW HE WAS IRRITATED!
The black tom's tail began to lash behind him. Croweyes was going to get out of camp whether he liked it or not! Narrowing his golden eyes, the black tom grumbled, "Fine. You've forced me. It's mother time."
What in the dark forest did that mean? Oh he soon found out as the small black tom stepped closer to him, and in a flash of shadows, Smokefoot had his maul clasped around the other's scruff. Grunting with force, the older tom dug his claws in the dirt and began to tug, clawing his way towards the entrance, dragging the massive kit along.

(Thank you! Also, you're writing is amazing! Are you working on being an author???)

Getting up and grooming down his ruffled fur Creekpaw's tail twitched. "Wanna do a hunting competition?"

Coyotesnarl had never been one to like kittens all that much- too messy and clumsy for him. Though this one seemed.. well. He paused lingering on the thought. He didn’t hate this experience entirely. He curled his tail around his paws and examined the kitten look between his mother and back up at him. He glanced briefly up at Duskwing blinking a sort of thank you for the clarification.

“Well. I’m a medicine cat” he offered quietly watching him with gleaming honey eyes. He adjusted slightly waving his tail to point in the general direction of the medicine cat den. “I’m supposed to make sure nobody is sick” he said with a nod.

Violetkit chased after Hawkkit, trying to catch him. As they ran, she yowled something she'd been wondering for a while.
"Hey Hawkkit, do you ever wonder who are father is?"

Merlinkit showed no anger at Bumblekit's comment. He just kept staring into the clouds.

(If you guys don't want to do a age jump that's fine, I was just thinking they could do more if they were a bit older.)
Lynxstep yawned as she woke up, her kits snuggled against her belly. The queen purred as her kits were already 3 moons old and it was time for their daily baths! She began to lick Scorchkit clean, purring while doing so.

The young kit stared up at the older tom with eyes curiousity, examining his damaged face. After a few moments of listening to his words, the grey and orange kit squeaked out cheerfully, "I'm healthy!" There was a brief pause before he looked back at Duskwing, flicking his small tail in question, "Right, Mama?"
After a moment, his mind fleeted from the current conversation and he couldn't help but question, "Why can I see your teeth?" His kit eyes gazed at the side of Coyotesnarl's face, cocking his small head and ears to the side. There was no fear in his gaze, only question.

She’d boop the small kits nose with her tail. ”That’s right!” @Slatepaw

Coyotesnarl was growing in slight discomfort with the kittens very curious nature, he supposed he wouldn’t be visiting again. He’d make Mistyfern go in his place, he had a son didn’t he? Or well. He used too. He dismissed the thought and stooped down to the kittens level “that’s good.” what else could he have said? What was he even checking for? If he happened to be sick there wasn’t much he couldn’t done to help him anyways.

With a sigh he leaned back adjusting himself fully expecting to have to stay, he couldn’t walk away from the small tom kit. Even if he was hardened to hate them.. he couldn’t. He was than taken off guard by the kittens question- the familiar itch of angst taking over the one side of his face. “You don’t want to know young kit” he offered.. pausing briefly and feeling his claws hook into the moss. “I’ll say this though- don’t go out by yourself when you are an apprentice” though usually there was nothing wrong with it.. and it was basically an empty ploy to scare him into good behaviour he couldn’t help but slip it in.

The mysterious adults response only caused more curiousity in the young kit as he let out a little giggle, "That would be a silly thing to do!" at least he wasn't that mouse-brained... Dropping a soft purr in his chest, the little one reached out to swat at his brown paw, "I'm Bumblekit!" Thinking the other might swat back at him, the grey-orange kit let out a squeal, fumbling over to fall in the protective presence of his mother, disappearing behind her as he peeked his grey striped ears out, peering at the older tom playfully.

Is he trying to.. play with me? The young tom watched as the kitten bowled over and hid under the cover of his mother’s arm with a playful squeal. Be stared momentarily stunned by his sudden playfulness. He hadn’t had a lot of interactions with kittens.. is this what they were all like. He stared down at the small tom kit and felt a flicker in his chest.. amusement? Joy? Something and he wasn’t enjoying the fact he was enjoying this. He stared down at the kitten for a moment feeling that pang of sympathy.. he would be destroyed if you just walked away. His flexed his claws into the dirt anxiously a few times glancing back and fourth than popping his head out of the den briefly. If Mistyfern saw this? He’d never hear the end of it.

His ears flattened and a he felt an amused chuckle rumble from deep in his chest... this wasn’t so bad. With a smirk the tom dropped into a playful half crouch. Feeling sore.. and regretting it slightly but committing. How exactly do you play with a kit? Uh.. uh.. he drew a blank. “Come out come out wherever you are.. The horrible Icestar is coming to find you” he put on his most gruff voice possible. Yeah.. ? Oh man he must’ve looked horribly foolish.
