"Thanks." Moonshade answers in a distracted fashion as she rolls up the rest of Brokenbellow's temporary nest. She'll have Wormface help her take it out later.
It's silent for a moment. Sootrain pads further into the cave, placing the freshly gathered herbs nearby. Moonshade's eyes flicker up when instead of leaving, he settles down onto his haunches.
Her whiskers twitch in barely contained amusement. It was always easy to tell when something is on Sootrain's mind.
"They're really keeping them, huh?" Sootrain turns his head to look outside. She follows his gaze to the young kits wandering about on stubby legs. Elmstar is meowing encouragingly to them.
"Where else would they go?" Sure they could send them to another Clan but they were far less welcoming to outsiders. On top of that, neither Elmstar or Skyminnow were sure who attacked their mother. Could've been anyone.
Sootrain grunts. "We might not have enough prey."
"It's warming up. They don't eat that much." Moonshade can't keep the slightly sharp tone out of her voice. She knows where the concern comes from though it's still a little frustrating. "Stop letting your dreams affect you so much."
Moon 14 - Kits and Worries
Wrote a little for this moon as my energy for making pages dipped after I made the second page :P
The kits were adopted when they were newborns but I made them look closer to one moon old so it'd make more sense that they'd remember what their mother called them
