WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

Gentlemoo licked the five kits carefully, frankly he was still in shock about Tulipapple just dying in labour. He knew that the kits would die if they weren’t nursed soon so he waved down Coldamber,” Coldamber, they’ll die if not nursed...can you nurse them?” he asked he carefully nudged them towards Coldamber’s belly, he knew she already had kits, but frankly they needed milk and she was the only nursing kit, Coyotesnarl could probably give her an herb to make more milk than she normally would make. That would have to be possible. He couldn’t risk it that was his only hope of saving his newborn kits. Speaking of kits, he’d have to name them soon.

Quicksilver padded over to the patrol he'd been called to join, glancing at Pumapaw, already off on a tangent, as he arrived. Letting out a sigh, Quicksilver shook his head. "Hunting isn't that hard Pumapaw. Maybe if you actually could listen then you would know how to do it by now." The silver tabby then gave a nod to Thornsprint, glancing around to see that they all hopefully were here. He wanted to get out and be able to at least have some space between himself and that wild bouncing rabbit that was supposedly his apprentice. Though as he spotted the small brown tabby bobtail, otherwise his daughter, Quicksilver just stared for a moment, his ears flattening. Then he turned his head away, unsure of what to say. He hadn't known that Thornsprint was Lynxpaw's mentor. "Ahem. Alright. Let's uh... get going."

Lynxpaw had padded over as soon as her name was called, green eyes bright as she looked up towards Thornsprint. She then turned as there was a sudden loud voice, Pumapaw, she assumed, she was still learning names, coming crashing in next to them with a loud voice and a wild attitude. Lynxpaw watched her quietly as she began to go off about training and what not... and apparently her mentor wasn't a good mentor or something? Lynxpaw could've sworn she heard the words "Quick" or something like that, and she was genuinely confused. Soon enough the tomcat approached, and Lynxpaw's ears flattening slightly. Quicksilver. Of course. Her dad. Who else would it be? She hadn't known he'd had an apprentice though... Lynxpaw would just add that to her ever growing list of things he hadn't told her about himself. "Hi dad." She meowed with a semi-friendly smile. Her face fell as he didn't exactly acknowledge her. She took a deep breath though, before turning to Pumapaw. "Um... it's Pumapaw... right?" She felt a little bad for not defending her father against Pumapaw's insults but... Lynxpaw wasn't too fond of him at that point either.

"Of course," she mewed quietly, helping him move the kits to nurse, and moving her own slightly older ones to avoid squishing the bitties, ignoring Fizzlekit's scream of protest. She noticed his little belly was swollen unnaturally for a kit and made a note to groom his belly extra to see if that would help, surely he was so agitated because he had gas?
Once they were all happily suckling, she turned back to Gentlemoo. "I'm so sorry." She felt it was partially her own fault Tulipapple passed. Surely she should have noticed she was kitting. Surely she should have noticed the unnatural blood loss....
But she didn't. And now she's dead. Perhaps it was her fault for not paying more attention. Maybe she'd still be alive. Maybe she at least wouldn't have been alone. Maybe she would have been at peace before she passed.

For some reason. Goodness, was she getting fat? She glanced at her swollen haunches. Oh, she was! Maybe Crescentmoon could work it off by... doing whatever she was supposed to do. “I’m a pregnant molly, take it easy on me boys.”

"M'okay! How are you? What's a egsasental? Can I have a hug? I like hugs."

Honeypaw let out a sigh as he felt all his muscles relax. Letting go of that breath he didn't realize he was holding in. "Oh thank goodness. I thought I did something bad again." he wheezed, ears pricking as he looked up to see the Apprentice greet him with a smile. Of course, now a little less worried, the Tan apprentice returned the smile with a big bright one. "Hello." he hummed.

As Coyotesnarl came back out with leaves between his jaws the fluffy feline tilted his head to the side. "I don't believe she needs me today. Haven't seen her yet. But if I find out she did need me I'll just work 10x harder tomorrow. Are those rain protection?" he hummed scooting forwards to sniff at the leaves.

Gentlemoo gave a small nod to Coldamber,” I suppose I ought to name them. Hmm...“ he meowed glancing at the five kits. He glanced at the creme colored tom-kit and paused,” Songkit, Tulipapple wanted her first born to be named Songkit.” he sadly meowed he’d at least do what she wanted with the first born. He then was glancing at the next kit, the black kitten with gold stripes,” This one looks like a bee...Beekit.” he meowed shaking his head in sorrow. He should be happy he had five healthy kits, but instead he was just sad, he looked at the brown kit with white splotches,” Looks like a sparrow...Sparrowkit” he blinked away his tears to look at the amber tabby with spots,” Applekit. For Tulipapple” he murmured ,”I can’t name one Tulipkit, it would hurt me too much...” his gaze drifting past Tulipapple and towards the last kit, the white and ginger tabby,” She looks Fiery, maybe Flamingkit.” he meowed. Gently licking his kits. He couldn’t believe it...Tulipapple was really done. It broke his heart.

Songkit felt sadness spike around him and wished for it to stop. He tried to wobble with his eyes closed to the source of sadness (Gentlemoo) and stay onto Gentlemoo hoping the sadness would ease a little. He tried to find a source of food but when he tried to find it, all he found was cold air from the entrance of the nursery. Sighing as he gave up, he slept on the paws of his dad.

Fallenghost leapt gracefully to the the mentor and their apprentice and look at them with her blue eyes. "Are you ready to go out?" she murmured to both of them.
