βοΈβΛβ§ Regrettably, Amberhaze had been unable to spare any feathers upon his initial presentation of them on the day of the first frost borne from Leafbare and its unexpected arrival. The kits who had gathered around expressed great interest in the treasures he had brought back, but during such an unpredictable time he did not find it in him to be giving to any singular individual- even curious kittens with undisguised desire and excitement igniting their soft little eyes. He was never one to feel quite terribly over denying ones desires should it be in favor of the greater good, but he would have been a fool to say that the twinge he felt within his chest as he turned away from disappointed expressions and wailing pleas with that bundle of tantalizing and radiant colored feathers didn't linger in his mind for quite some time after. It was not the kits fault that they didn't understand the importance of resources, and that not every resource could be spared for their own enjoyment. Not to mention, there would be far fewer to be found now that the weather had turned so dire, and they may have to wait for many more moons before they'd get such an opportunity again. And so, Amberhaze took it upon himself to scour the marshland that was quickly freezing over in order to collect as many more feathers as he could manage and that the universe should allow. He spent hours in the bitter chill, circling the same areas back and forth just to ensure no stone had been left unturned. The words of Promisekit rattled within his skull as he pressed on; "Are there any blue feathers, Gigglepaw?..." As well as those of young Smokykit; "...Or a cool rock?" He made a mental note of them both.
Now, the gangly figure of Amberhaze stood with trembling limbs outside of the nursery, his twitching maw clamped gently over a rather impressive haul of multicolored feathers...one so blue it seemed to have been carved directly from topaz, and amidst all of the plumage- a singular rock, the coolest he could find- in fact, it wasn't a rock at all, but a stray chunk of glittering obsidian. He would clear his tense throat before announcing his presence with a voice muffled by his cargo, though he made sure to raise it enough so that it would still effectively carry itself within the walls of the open, newly winterized nursery. "U-Uh...Hey, kits? Come- Come here f-for a second? I um- I brought you some- uh- something." Swallowing hard, he settled down upon sharp, boney haunches and awaited the response- or perhaps lack thereof- with bated breath and a dip of his head to allow for his gifts to rest comfortably against frosted earth.

- ooc: belated little open thread for @promisekit, @Tinykit, and @SMOKYKIT, but no need to wait! <3 please keep it angst free (side eyeing sharpshadow) and this would be taking place before the war with thunderclan and during the first signs of Leafbare's early approach
