It's not like he'd get anywhere anyway. And speaking? That was even more laughable than moving, he could barley choke out a single painful noise that was always followed by a horrific coughing fit so even crying for help was a lost cause. He had held hope a queen would see him at the beginning but now?... Maybe another kit would help? Or Creekpaw would wonder where he was and come into the nursery! But he didn't hold hope of that the other kits were too busy playing and Creekpaw never came into the nursery as far as he knew. Crowkit had all but given up on help breath rasping in his chest loudly coughing on occasion when he breathed too deep and he did something he had never did. He started to silently cry shoulders shaking as he hoped for something to happen... anything.

Boulderclaw raised an eyebrow at some weird kit, "What the hell is he doing?" he muttered. Sighing, he padded over, though he still kept his distance. "Whats wrong with you, pipsqueak?" he roughly asked, nudging the kit in the side.

A mischievous smile grew on her face. Oh this was going to be fun! Pushing further with her long legs, stretching her spine and then moving the muscles in a steady pace she felt free, this is what.. it meant to be Windclan. Nothing stopping her as she raced past Silentwhisper, her paws a fast but steady drumming on the ground as she increased her stride, taking longer steps with each push off from the ground. It felt like flying, it felt like dancing with the wind. And it most certainly helped her with clearing these thoughts that clogged her head. Yet speeding ahead of Silentwhisper the momentum carried Weaselskip directly into the stream and the molly waved her tail frantically, she didn't exactly know if her clanmate could swim and didn't want to risk a drowning episode despite the lower waters of the stream. "I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Silentwhisper's ears pinned as Weaselskip passed her. Rats! She was hoping to win! However that thought swiftly left her mind as the grey warrior ran right into the stream and started waving around frantically. The molly skidded to a halt, surprise coating her face. Yet, with the call from Weaselskip Silentwhisper let out a slight laugh. Which was basically huffs of air with an occasional snort. This was what happens when you race ahead when racing to the stream. It was quiet funny though. The powdered grey molly sign sorry a few times but she couldn't keep a straight face. She really shouldn't be laughing but it was the funniest thing she'd seen in a long while. To long. When was the last time she even laughed?
Finally ridding herself of her silent laugh, Silentwhipser moved over to the edge of the stream. She would offer a paw to her Clanmate. It might not help much considering the size difference but it was the thought that mattered. Even if she was just laughing it was important for Weaselskip to know she wasn't a jerk.

Cherrykit watched as puddlepaw walked into the nursery, she sat down and wrapped her tail around her feet watching him curiously. A playful glint in her eye shone but she tried to stay still knowing he was probably in here for a reason and that might not have been to play.

Her blank stare had left him feeling a bit downtrodden and anxious. Oh, she disliked him. Perhaps she thought he was weird, or crazy. Silentwhisper hadn’t spoken a single word and yet, here he was, awkward old Snakewillow talking so loud the buzzards could hear him! Her forced smile might have been worse. But before he could utter yet another apology, she... spoke? Well, no. She communicated with him. He mouthed and muttered, "I... no... speak? OH." That was a bit of a relief! "Okay, that’s okay. Um, I’m sure I’ll do enough talking for the both of us. Haha..." he trailed off, hoping his little pun got a reaction. "Anyway, uh, do you wanna... sit and eat together? We could talk, or just look around or whatever..." This was his best attempt at making a new friend. Snakewillow didn’t have many of those, and StarClan knew he needed some, especially with this whole kit thing.

When he got her sign Silentwhisper relaxed. She always either worried cats thought she was being rude or something when she never spoke back. Or she would forget to tell them she was mute. That was always when it got complicated.... A not so forced smile twitched at her muzzle with his joke. He had done well enough so far. With his suggestion she nodded patting the ground beside her. It would be nice to hang out with someone... even if they made it awkward and she didn't know him. Silentwhisper wasn't really sure what to do after that. This would most likely continue to be awkward. Good going Silent, your just adding to the awkwardness...

Crowkit exhaled hard at the nudge and immediately flew into a huge coughing fit. As he wheezed trying to catch his breath he shifted slightly to get an eye on the other cat. This wasn't going to be pleasant but he had no other option. Shakily drawing in a breath and slightly lifting his head he chocked out a rough and stuttering "H-hel-p..." before plopping his head back into his bedding tears still slowly dripping down his muzzle.

Puddlepaw poked his head into the entryway of the nursery, looking to help out in some way. "Hello? Any queens need any bedding, or prey, or some help? Or... do any kits need someone to play with?" Playing with the kits wasn't a normal task apprentices set out to do, but the kits were just so lovable, and he had fond memories of playing games in the nursery, so it would be quite an enjoyable thing in his opinion.

Cherrykits eyes widened as she rushed forward accidently ramming headfirst into him"ack!s-sorry! b-but i wanna play!" her eyes shone broght and her small body even though it was shivering it was alive and ready to play.

"Thats how you do it." Cloudfluff did it again, slower. "Make sure your claws are sheathed!" She called. "Try it on me, i'll stand still so you can remember how to do it."

Reedpaw flicked his tail, waiting for Cloudfluff to demonstrate the move. Studying the fluffy she-cat's movement closely, the apprentice narrowed his eyes. It seemed simple enough, but could he do it? That was the real question. When asked to practice, Reedpaw bounded up to face directly towards Cloudfluff. The apprentice had a smirk on his face, confident that he could get the move on his first try. Prepping himself, the apprentice made sure his claws were sheathed... then struck. It wasn't the swiftest movement, but it certainly got the job done. Reedpaw looked up, a bright smile now on his muzzle. "Was that right? It felt right, I might just be the fastest learner in the clan!!" Reedpaw was practically bouncing with excitement, even at such a minor feat. That was something he would have to work on in the future.

Boulderclaw's eyebrows flew up, "what in the name of starclan?" he murmured. He was right when he decided to keep his distance. Who knew if the kit was contagious! he heaved a loud sigh and bent down to roughly pick up the scrap of fur. Padding out of the nursery, he kept his face straight.

Rushingmoor trotted into camp and headed straight for the familiar tortoiseshell pelt of the deputy.

“Hey, Brindlejaw,” he called as he neared, “I’m here to report! Everything went according to plan and all cats and limbs are accounted for.”

The striped tom offered Brindlejaw an easy smile and a nod. He didn’t want to hold up the tom- he was probably busy- hence the right to business attitude but that didn’t mean he couldn’t have a bit of fun.
