Snowdance gave a small shake of her head, looking first at Cedarstar and then at Spiderbite, "His wounds were extensive, and he has a long recovery ahead of him. He's healed a bit since he was first brought back to camp, but like you said, Cedarstar, he hasn't woken up yet." She mewed, giving a worried flick of her ear. "It's hard to say if he will be able to make the journey to SkyClan's camp or not. I won't know more unless he wakes up." Cedarstar sighed and nodded to Snowdance. "We can't risk his life." He looked at Spiderbite. "I won't permit Cliffheart to go if Snowdance doesn't believe he can make it." Spiderbite flicked his tail. "I'm a medicine cat to, you know. I can take care of him on the journey. It's important for Lavendersky to see him." He looked to Snowdance. "May I see Cliffheart? Perhaps I could help?" (For Icefire15)

Moonpaw was grooming her long fur outside in the clearing, feeling the soft breeze of greenleaf ruffle her pelt. She wanted to do something. She needed to do something. The medicine cat, the leader and another warrior Moonpaw wasn't acquainted with were talking together, their heads close murmuring something in a worried tone. She wanted to listen, so she crawled casually around them and began licking her face while looking behind her. She strained her neck and opened her ears. Journey? What journey could they possibly be talking about?@🌙Moonpower🌙 Icefire15

(creatin a start cuz why the heck not)
Sunstrike poked his head into the warriors den, wondering if Cardinalblaze was in there at the moment, he'd seen the deputy at the meeting, but didn't know where he'd gone from there, "Hey! Cardinalblaze, you in there? I was wondering if I could lead a hunting patrol, the fresh kill pile seems a bit lower then usual."

I know Cardinalblaze would say yes.” He assured.

Thistlestalk stood from his nest, looking between Sunstrike and Lionscorch, "I'll come too. I'm getting antsy sitting here in camp."

Thistlestalk stood from his nest, looking between Sunstrike and Lionscorch, "I'll come too. I'm getting antsy sitting here in camp." “Always a pleasure.” Lionscorch rumbled to Thistestalk, friendly and kind, before he turned to follow after Sunstrike. He glanced again at Thistlestalk, asking casually. “How’s Fuzzypaw been taking all this? Times like this, I miss being able to just keep tabs on my apprentice.” He admitted, missing Mosspaw fiercely each day.

Thistlestalk perked up a bit at the mention of Fuzzypaw, looking proud and fond. "She's doing as well as she can be. She hasn't slacked in her training once. She.. um called me Dad the other day. I can't say I mind though, she'll be a great big sister to our kits when they're born."

Gets you ready for the real thing, though in this case, I’d argue it’s pretty much the real thing. You’re the closest thing to a father she’s got, really…” He paused, chest aching as he thought of his two daughters, gone to Starclan before even getting a chance to open their eyes. He smiled then. “Pearlkit’s called me dad a few times, before it clicked in that Falcontalon is her father. Flowerkit has too, that one’s easier to just fit into, even if Grovekit’s too stubborn to want any dad. It feels nice, you know?”

"It's just as good as the real thing, we all lost cats to the fire, some more than others. But it's nice to know our clan doesn't abandon their young. All kits have someone to look up to as a parent figure, whether they want it or not." Thistlestalk mewed, suddenly missing Ribbondance, who had also perished in the fire. "Grovekit might not admit it until she's older, but I'm sure she cares for you deeply."

"Grovekit might not admit it until he's older, but I'm sure he cares for you deeply." “Grovekit’s as stubborn as Viperpool could be.” Lionscorch chuckled. “She’s used to being the voice for both herself and shy little Flowerkit. But, I know she’ll become a great Warrior because of that. Whether she sees me as a father or not, I will continue to see her as if she were my own.” His ear flicked. “Songbreeze needed it. To have kits to raise, even if our own couldn’t be. I think without Grovekit, Flowerkit, and Pearlkit, she would be in all kinds of pain. So for that, I’m grateful for all of them.” Looking at Thistlestalk, he seemed to grow more optimistic. “Are you excited? Thought of any names yet?”

Thistlestalk flexed his claws with a shake of his head, "Not yet, though Poppyflame might have some in mind. We haven't discussed it much." he admitted. "Would you and Songbreeze ever try to have another litter? I know that will never replace the pain of losing your first, but Songbreeze is a very attentive queen. She seems happier in the nursery, despite her loses."

"Would you and Songbreeze ever try to have another litter? I know that will never replace the pain of losing your first, but Songbreeze is a very attentive queen. She seems happier in the nursery, despite her loses." “It’s completely her decision.” Lionscorch nodded confidently, eyes softening. “My Songbreeze has been through so much in her life. Darkness that most cats can’t even begin to imagine. There’s legacies in her blood that make her feel like she’s burning when she’s just… existing, you know? She’s as sensitive as a kit, even if she’s stronger than all of Starclan. Losing our daughters destroyed her. So, I could never ever expect her to go through that again just for my sake.” He blinked once. “But, if she wanted to try again, I would do anything to give her what she asks for. But Starclan, if I lost her because of that, I…” He trailed off, looking like a lost kit for a moment.

Thistlestalk placed his tail on Lionscorch's shoulder with an understanding nod, "That's my biggest fear for Poppyflame as well. Having kits is beautiful but even with all of Snowdance's experience can be dangerous in the wrong circumstances. Whatever you two decide, I will be happy for you. Perhaps she could just stay in the nursery and help the other queens and orphan kits. It seems like lately they've been walking into our territory every moon or so." Thistlestalk joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Thistlestalk joked, trying to lighten the mood. “She’s talked about that.” Lionscorch admitted, grateful for Thistlestalk’s words as he continued. “Snakesong as well. To focus their duties on caring for the Clan’s kits, even if they’re not their own. If it makes Songbreeze happy, then I’m all for it. I’d love any kit that she loves, so they’d have me too.” He promised, glad that Songbreeze was feeling more comfortable in the nursery than when she went through so much stress as a working Warrior.

(For Icefire15) Snowdance glanced between her leader and the SkyClan medicine cat briefly before she gave a small nod of acceptance, “Come with me.” She mewed, standing and leading Spiderbite towards her den. Once inside, she turned to the nest that held Cliffheart, sitting down next the nest and making room for Spiderbite. “His wounds have begun to heal, but I can’t properly assess just how well he’s doing until he actually wakes up.”

Thistlestalk smiled, "I think it makes the new queens less anxious, to have someone in there that knows what they're doing. It even soothes my worries a bit as a father knowing there's an experienced queen who could help Poppyflame with the kits while I'm training Fuzzypaw or out on a patrol. How do you do it? Find time to spend with the kits and Songbreeze while performing all of your warrior duties. It sounds like so much!"

If I’m on an evening one, I wake up a bit earlier to give them time to see me. Some days I spend all my free time there, and I just practice my battle skills right in camp. The kits like watching and trying to copy me.” He humored.

He nodded and listened to the two toms talk about kits, it almost pained him to think of his own situation, he was a bit young, sure, but he had always wanted a family to call his own, Gentleshade was his sister of course, but what about a mate and kits? Ever since he'd become a warrior he'd always loved the tiny furballs running around camp, and always wished he'd have his own one day, but, so far no cats that he liked he felt that way for, a small voice in his head called, 'Nightshade?' no, she was just a friend, surely? Surely she mustn't like him in that way. He continued to walk on in his own silence as the two toms chatted
