“Hey!” Mintkit squeaked, before she rolled with her brother, bringing her paws up to cling to him as she gave a playful growl. She kicked at his belly, trying to throw him off.
“So I’ve heard. I never knew you at a young age, of course, but from what I’ve heard, you were always ready for anything. Diamondheart speaks of you as if you were his brother.” Smogstorm laughed warmly.

Maskkit laughed and did his best to hold his sister down, but with her constant kits, he ended up rolling off of her.
Ottermask smiled softly. Some of his memories back then weren't all bad. "Diamondheart, Poolfrost, Frostlake, and Shimmer were all I had back then." Though, Frostlake had escaped AdderClan when Ottermask was just becoming an apprentice and then his mother died in the Dark Battle and Shimmer left the forest all together. Diamondheart had been his best friend through his life in AdderClan and neither of them had official become RiverClan apprentices until after the Dark Battle. Frostlake had stood up to Blazepelt for both of them. "I feel like he is. He, Frostlake and I have been through a lot...but things so much better than what they used to be." He nuzzled against Smogstorm.

“Of that, I am ever so glad. The stories you have told me have inspired me my entire life. For all you have been through, you still have so much to give.” Smogstorm purred lightly. “I’m glad that you were not alone either. You had good cats at your side, and I’m grateful to them. Because now I have you. And we have them.” She admitted, looking fondly at their kits.
“Oof!” Mintkit pushed herself to try and get back on her paws. “Oh, you big lump! I think you sat on my foot!” She puffed, though it was clear she was unharmed, and began to pounce again at Maskkit.

Ottermask purred and nuzzled against her again. "I couldn't possibly lose you or them, Smogstorm. You've made my life worth while."
Maskkit laughed and rolled back to swat at her. "You're the one who wanted to wrestle!"

"You're the one who wanted to wrestle!" "I survived the foxes and falling off the gorge, I can survive this fire." Smogstorm nodded dutifully, glancing at her dead leg with a small chuckle, before she looked at Mintkit and Maskkit. "They certainly have your energy. Sooner or later they'll be the ones knocking me down." Mintkit swatted back in retaliation. "Yeah, wrestle! Not get sat on!" She crouched low, before leaping on her brother. "But now I'll sit on you!" |

Troutpaw grabbed the scruff of the larger tom and began to move him steadily over the herbs that Specklecreek and himself had saved from the fire. With Eelshock's help it didn't long and soon the gray tom was laying beside the herbs, his legs moving feebly and his breath a small rattle in his chest, a cough coming up now and then. "Specklecreek. I think the smoke has caused lasting damage to his lungs and breathing. His breath has a rattle and he's still coughing up wisps of smoke now and then." |

((sorry I wasn't on today guys!))
Specklecreek flicked her ear. "We won't know about lasting effects for a little bit Troutpaw. He's only just received his first herbs." Glancing back at Ashfaith she inwardly sighed. The tom didn't look very good at all. "He'll need more ginger. That might help the cough a bit, or at least lessen the effects."

(Welcome back Fire!)
Ottermask followed her gaze to their kits. When Mintkit leaped at Maskkit, the young tom's eyes grew wide. He scurried to his paws and darted away. Ottermask chuckled. "They'll become warriors even StarClan will be proud of." That thought warmed his heart. He wanted his kits to say as far away as possible from his past...from the Dark Forest.

Pepper gave a nod as she looked at each of the cats and made sure to remember which name went with which face. |

(hey Galaxy! I'm not actually sure there's a queen expecting in RiverClan. Most of them have had their kits already. I know there are a few ships that have the potential to have kits, but I don't know when that'll be)

(I did see, I'm just afraid. I don't think any cats are expecting right now. If Eelshock had a mate who was expecting, I would let your kit in with his litter, but sadly, he doesn't have a mate yet.)

Pepper gave a nod as she looked at each of the cats and made sure to remember which name went with which face. "It looks like a lot of cats didn't return…" Iciclepaw murmured coldly, chest aching for the loss of his clanmates. The old apprentice's claws tore at the grass. |

Pepper bowed her head in silent grief and prayer for the fallen cats, letting her tail tip rest on Iciclepaw's shoulder so that the tom would know he was not alone in his sadness. |

((hello everyone!))
Specklecreek was wrapping aloe-covered leaves around Mistfall's slightly singed paws. The former deputy had refused treatment until the worst injuries were taken care of.

“Mistfall! There you are!” Owlwhisker scampered towards his former mentor. She had been the one to save him and integrate him into Riverclan after all. He approached, looking concerned. “I couldn’t see you earlier, but I’m glad you’re alright!” He exclaimed.
Iciclepaw tensed up at Pepper’s touch of her tail, shaking it off with a light grunt. “I’ll be fine...No need for any of that mushy stuff.”

Mistfall purred when she saw the tom. "Owlwhisker! I'm glad you're alright!" As she turned towards the tom her paws moved slightly, causing Speckcreek to flick her ears in annoyance. "Stay still Mistfall or you'll just be here longer!" Mistfall's whisker's twitched in amusement, but she looked back at the younger tom.

Minnowtail was grooming Graykit, while Songkit and Viperkit slept, trying to get the smell of smoke and ash off of them.
Littleshadow sat rather close to Stormsplash, the she-cat watching over her adoptive brother as he slept.
Tinypool wandered looking for Sharpthorn.

Sharpthorn was grooming some of the ash from his fur. He made a face at the awful taste but kept going.
Graykit squirmed lightly. “I’m fine!” She huffed.
Ripplepath padded over to his mate.

When the smoke was getting bad, I sent them off to spare them from it, but I sent them off too late and we would've lost Ashfaith if I hadn't found him. We could still lose him." He looked over at where Specklecreek and Troutpaw were treating the smoked warrior. "What I did for them wasn't good enough and they deserved much more than that." |

Tinypool sighed in relief, moving over to Sharpthorn and nuzzling him. "There you are." she mewed softly. "Sorry I was with Stormsplash and Littleshadow."
Minnowtail sighed, letting go of Graykit. "Sorry little one, I just want to get the ash out of your fur." The queen looked up purring softly as she saw Ripplepath approach. The she-cat still unaware of her father's death.

(And then I go and forget to write a response for Deadpath's patrol x.x)
Deadpath hobbled toward the entrance to the barn, hoping Shellstream, Sharpthorn, and whoever else was on the patrol (Cause I totally forgot, >.< ). He tried to keep his head up to seem sure of himself, it was hard with his constant rocking from walking on his deadened paw.

Don’t get the medicine cat in a rile, now.” Owlwhisker snickered lightly. The slender tom seemed to falter a bit though, as he admitted. “Well...I’m really worried for Littleshadow, and Tinypool and Stormsplash...I er...I didn’t know Echosplash as deeply as you all did, but the moons I have known her? She was really great, and kind. I’ve never seen them so upset.” He glanced over, though his eyes trained deeply on Littleshadow. |

I trust Specklecreek and Troutpaw, and above all, I trust you, even if the end result was not what we ever hoped for.” |

“Kits causing you trouble?” Ripplepath asked with a light purr. He watched his kits a moment, love shining in his eyes.
Sharpthorn nuzzled his mate as she approached. “Don’t be sorry. I wanted to give you space with them.”
