Scorchstrike had never really been important to anyone before, so this was a new feeling. "You know, it's very late. You should be in bed, and so should I. We've both got long days tomorrow, so get a good night's sleep." @~Mud

Silentkit
Silentkit was shivering. Her missing fur patches weren't growing back anytime soon, and all the other cats and kits around her were getting scary. She tried to call for someone, but her voice box was wrecked and only came out as a slight croak. I miss Mama... @Paradise

Mudkit took a step back from Scortchstrike, his face bright and happy. The bad dream was still in his thoughts, but it didn’t seem so bad anymore. He noticed that he was smiling and then, with some effort, forced himself to show no emotion. It was rare for Mudkit to show any emotion. He normally stayed grumpy to hide his real emotions and he was a bit embarrassed to have shown such clear gratitude. But, though he was blushing, he didn’t mind it too much. He took a few breaths, once more looking at the moon, feeling lighter than he had ever felt before. He felt as if the weight of the sky was off his shoulders. Mudkit nodded his head, agreeing with what the calico said.

“You’re right.”. Mudkit knew he should go to sleep. Maybe he wouldn’t dream at all tonight so he could finally get some rest. When he fell asleep and had nightmares he felt as if he hadn’t slept at all when he woke up, which only made him more crabby and grouchy. He shook his pelt, looking at Scortchstrike before asking, “If I have another bad dream, can we talk about it again? And if you have a bad dream, you can talk to me about it if you want...”. He looked away, his checks flushed red. He never had shown kindness or love for anyone in his life. His parents had died before he even remembered. He took a few steps closer to Scortchstrike, waiting to hear what she would say. He hoped that she would want to talk to him again. Maybe they could even become friends! He had never had a friend before, so the whole idea scared and excited him.

"Of course. You can always tell me." This kit was such a sweetheart! He was a bit rough around the edges, but all he needed was a bit of TLC to be a wonderful cat. "Goodnight, Mudkit." She stretched and padded off to the warriors den. @~Mud

Mudkit smiled, smaller this time, but still a smile. He was glad that she would let him talk to her about his dreams again. He dipped his head to her, glad that they had talked and hopeful that he could have a good nights sleep tonight. He shook his sort pelt and yawned, stretching his back while he did so. “Good night, Scortchstrike.”. He looked at the white moon for a moment more, wishing he could stay and watch it more but almost falling asleep on his paws. Mudkit caught one last glimpse of the calico as she slipped into the shadows of the warriors den. He sighed, already missing the company, and walked towards the nursery, slipping into the shadows of the den.

Mudkit blinked as he stepped inside, momentarily blind as his pupils adjusted to the darkness. Soon he could see the shape of each kit and cat as they slept, their sides slowly moving up and down in time of their breathing. He slipped through the cats slowly, making sure to not wake any of them. As he approached his best in the back of the den, he took a deep breath, flopping into it and curling up, his tail over his nose. He fell asleep almost as soon his tail fell. That night, instead of a nightmare, he slept so deeply that he didn’t dream of anything and had one of the best nights sleep he had ever had.

Poppykit looked up at her mother but did not say much.
She flicked her tail and lucked her paw.
Not meeting the other cat's gaze.

Mousekit was curled up in the corner of the nursery, tucked away next to her mother. Like usual, she wasnt saying anything, and her eyes were lowered to the ground. Shy was an understatment for her - she barely was able to even look at another cat in the eyes, and that was just a small little problem. I mean, who needs friends? Not her, thats who! She was perfectly fine on her own!

Berrybird smiled and she layed down in her nest. She was pregnant with 4 wonderful kits. Or, so she thought they would be wonderful. She couldn't see then so honestly, she had no idea. But Berrybird, the fiercest Shadowclan warrior, who was scarred up and pretty mean, was having kits. Despite all, she had a very warm feeling towards her kits. She had become nicer because of this.

Icekit was sitting in her nest, fidgeting with her own tail. She longed for the day when another cat or kit would interact with her. I'm not that bad, am I? She thought. She wished that she could be like any other kit who had loving parents.

Silentkit curled up in a corner, absentmindedly stripping a feather.

Coldkit

The large tom was lurking in the shadows of the den, watching the other kits. His amber eyes were dull due to the lack of light, and the tom flinched as he slowly stepped into the soft rays of light. The white blaze running down the jet black of his face formed to look like a river of snow. He would of preferred to sit and observe the others, but he knew fully well that one could not survive without friends or conversations. The kit stalked silently over to one of the young cats in the den and dipped his head in greeting. "Coldkit" the massive Maine Coon introduced himself, voice quiet and untrusting.

@Lynxpaw

Bouncekit had been messing around at the back of the nursery, on his side and bunny-kicking a defenseless leaf that had gotten in his way. When Coldkit spoke to him, he scrambled and flipped over, nimbly landing on his paws. Energized, his ears begun scanning wildly as he made eye contact with the larger tom, "Oh, no, I'm Bouncekit!" he remarked, seeming to misunderstand that Coldkit had been referring to himself. Regardless, he gave a soft purr, tail stuck up in content.
