| Shadewillow squeezed his way the Nursery, the sharp thorns that guarded the snug, secure den raked his spine and sides as he shouldered his way in, dropping the small collection of feathers he had spent the day scouring the territory for. Blinking for a few brief heartbeats so that his eyes could adjust to the gloom, he searched for the familiar ginger and tabby pelts of his two new sons- Ryekit and Lynxkit. They had been born nearly a moon ago, but now that their eyes had finally opened it seemed as if the nerve-wracking wait over truly meeting his kits had ended.
He was still disappointed by the fact that the mother of his sons, Dovesong, hadn't stuck around to help rear the two little toms, but Shadewillow was still confident in his own ability to parent his sons. Since the moment they were born, he loitered around the Nursery uselessly, always looking for some sort of excuse to skip patrol and be with Ryekit and Lynxkit- after all he didn't want to be absent from their earliest memories! Squinting slightly, he was able to spot both kits, but there was a mountain of other Queens and kits between them; trying to fit in there would be useless."Ryekit, Lynxkit come here and see what I've gotten you." he called softly, dropping his gaze down towards the small collection of various feathers he had found. ______________________________________ "born of ichor & nectar; excellence already found at fingertips." resident chewer of bones & mad woman enthusiast | former administrator |

| At his father's soft call, Ryekit's tiny pale ginger head popped up from over the edge of the nest he shared with his brother Lynxkit. In took him a second to stand up - his legs were still a bit wobbly - before he climbed out of the mossy next to investigate what Shadewillow had brought them. Toddling fast on short legs, he managed to stumble a few times before reaching his father's paws.
"Hi Papa!" He squeaked out a quick greeting, blinking up at the tom with pale greenish-blue eyes, before launching himself at the pile of fluffy feathers, letting out tiny play growls. Looking back at the nest, he meowed excitedly "Lynxkit! Come and play with us!" ______________________________________ |

| Lynxkit, who had been happily sleeping in one corner of the nursery away from everyone else, blinked open his eyes and mewed "Whyyyy?! I'm sleepy!" He flicked his tail with slight irritation but stood up and wobbled his way over to them, avoiding all the older and bigger apprentices. He got to them and looked down at the feathers "Hi Dad," he acknowledged him for the first time "What're those?" Lynxit gestured to them with his muzzle, his tone nonchalant but the gleaming curiosity in his eyes suggesting otherwise "Can we play with them?" He batted one gently with his paw, feeling the soft fuzz on his pad and bending down closer "They're really soft. What're they used for?" of course, the kits were only a moon old and weren't eating bird yet, in fact, they mostly still had milk from any queen who would give them some, it was how they took care of the kits who's mother wasn't there, but he had tried mouse once. Never, however, had he seen a feather
ooc: Kinda made stuff up there about the other queens but I'm pretty sure it's what they do in the books so it'll do ______________________________________ |Venompaw| |Lynxpaw| |Echokit| |Burntkit| |Flutteringkit| |SC Apprentice| |SC Apprentice| |WC Kit| |WC Kit| |TC Kit| |

| Shadewillow let out a purr as Ryekit and Lynxkit eagerly approached, curiously batting and rolling with the feathers of various colors he had collected. Reaching out, he snagged one of the remaining feathers on a claw to hold it closer for Lynxkit to observe, "They're called feathers," he mewed, turning his paw slightly so they could observe the captured feather, "And they come from a species called 'Bird' and they use their feathers to fly." He explained, watching as Ryekit continued to thrash about in the small pile. "Once you're both old enough to eat solid food more regularly, I'll make sure to bring one by for you to try." Shadewillow added, fondly gazing down at his two sons. ______________________________________ "born of ichor & nectar; excellence already found at fingertips." resident chewer of bones & mad woman enthusiast | former administrator |

| Ryekit paused his play for a brief second, and listened to his father's explanation about these fluffy things called 'feathers'. Looking down at his toys with a more critical eye, he noticed how they floated down to the ground when he tossed them in the air. Head tilting curiously, he looked up at his father and squeaked out an innocent question; "If birds can fly with feathers, can cats fly with them too?" Before Shadewillow answered him, he kicked a few feathers up onto his small back, and went onto his tip-toes. Closing his eyes, he waited to see if he would 'take flight'. ______________________________________ |

| Lynxkit had listened intently to his father, but couldn't help rolling his eyes at Ryekit "Don't be silly! If cats could fly we'd see more cats flying around camp and into the nursery. And Mom would be able to fly back to us!" He had no idea what happened to his mother, he just knew that she had been called Dovesong, and she wasn't here. He had to admit, he was pretty annoyed about it, he saw all the other kits with their queens and all he could think was that he wanted that too. He shook the thoughts away, focusing on Shadewillow. He did a great job of being their parent, even if it was hard for him. "Where did Mom go anyway?" he sat down, trying to detach various feathers from his pelt "You never talk about her. We don't even know what she looked like" He looked up at his father, curiosity gleaming in his eyes and he flicked his tail encouragingly ______________________________________ |Venompaw| |Lynxpaw| |Echokit| |Burntkit| |Flutteringkit| |SC Apprentice| |SC Apprentice| |WC Kit| |WC Kit| |TC Kit| |
