camp BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS DREAM ♡ kitten gifts

[PALEFIRE]

Things had been grim lately, and that was putting it lightly. She couldn't seem to shake the guilt of what she'd done, leaving her post the night the wolves invaded camp. She dreamt of her failure every night - or at least, the nights she'd actually been able to sleep - and it was starting to wear on her. She didn't know what she could do at this point to lessen the weight on her mind, or if she even deserved to, but she wanted to try. Howlingstar was disappointed in her, Nightbird was so disgusted by her actions that she literally wouldn't even acknowledge her presence anymore. Skyclaw was mad at her too... though she couldn't fully understand why, as he'd been the one she thought she could turn to, and it hurt. She wanted to try to prove herself to her clanmates again, to prove that they could still trust her and she would do anything to keep them safe. She just... needed to try.

She'd spent the majority of her sleepless nights patroling the territory alone (though she probably wasn't supposed to) and most of her days hunting from sunup to sundown. The wolves and the deer had done a good job scaring away most of the prey, and their freshkill pile seemed to always be too low. Especially now that they had so many queens and new kittens to care for. Hunting was one of the few things she'd always been good at, and had never failed at. Today had been a particularly good day - she managed to take down a plump little squirrel, as well as beautiful, vibrant blue jay. The latter had been particularly difficult to catch, but she hadn't given up on it. She already knew exactly what she was going to do with it.

It was a tad awkward, carrying back both a squirrel and a bird, but she managed well enough. As soon as she arrived back in camp, the lilac molly went straight to the nursery, dropping her prey just at its entrance before peaking her head in. "Um... hello everyone," she mused hesitantly, using a paw to push the squirrel inside to @Flamewhisker, who she spotted first. "I figured you probably hadn't eaten yet, so I brought you this." Sky blue eyes caught the stirrings of a few of the kittens, and some of the wariness of the past few days lifted a bit from her mind. She smiled softly to one of the kits that pounced at her paws. "I have something for you guys too, if you wanna see."

She waited for them to follow her back out of the den where she had dropped the blue jay, giving it a small nudge as she looked to the kits with a twinkle in her eye. "Its pretty, right? Do you guys each wanna take a feather?" She plucked a pristine cerulean plume from the bird as she spoke, holding it out as an offering to whichever kitten was most eager. "They can be lots of fun to play with, or you can use them to make your nests and your fur look pretty." Once the kits had all taken a feather or two, she planned on giving the actual blue jay to the queens to eat.

[ this is for the kittens & queens but its open to everyone! feel free to be the kitten she's talking to <3 ]

 

[Flamestar]

⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊ With each passing day, the red tabby was gradually growing more tired, and more hungry. She felt as though she could eat all day, and still be hungry. So when Palefire padded into the den with a squirrel and a blue jay, she couldn't help but stare. Squirrels were her favorite...it seemed as though the new warrior had read her mind. The other Molly pushed the squirrel towards her with her paw, and the tabby accepted it graciously. "Thank you...they certainly are hungry today." she responded, licking her chest fur embarrassedly. Even though this wasn't her first time in here, she still felt awkward having prey brought to her. She would much rather catch her own, but right now, she wouldn't be able to catch an injured mouse. Simply walking across the camp a few days ago had sparked the question How did my mother do this? Living in a clan was much different than being a loner.

The red tabby leaned down and took a bite out of the bundle in front of her. Palefire claimed to have a surprise for the kits, before ducking back outside the den. She watched as the kits excitedly followed her out, and she found herself wondering what the molly had found for them. Surely they would return soon, excitedly sharing the news about whatever lay outside.

[Meadowpaw]

If really there were such a thing as strangers then Meadowkit had yet to meet one. Every cat in ThunderClan was a friend in her mind, regardless of if she actually knew their names or not. When Palefire enters the den, Meadowkit is quick to try to include her in the game she had been playing "HA! I got you!" she declares gleefully as she pounces on the warriors paws. 'I brought something for you guys' she says and Meadowkit scrambles backwards so she can see what it is. "Whoa! Cool!" she says, awe struck as she reaches out with one paw to bat at the brightly colored object she had been passed.

The actual prey is passed along to Flamewhisker, but Meadowkit doesn't mind. She had just eaten anyways so her fascination remains on the feather in front of her. Before she can ask just what it does, though, Palefire informs them. You can play with them or you could decorate your nest with them. But she had a MUCH better idea. "I'm gunna shove mine up Mottledkit's nose!" she says, squealing with delight at the thought of tormenting her litter-mate. "Thank you nice lady!" of course, she couldn't forget her manners, especially when she had been given such a potential filled gift!

[Lightflower]

Lightflower had done similarly to keep herself busy, though her task she chosen today had been confined to camp. She was mostly trying to patch walls and clear broken pieces of... whatever. Apprentice tasks. Though she overheard Palefire's words about 'gifts for the kits' and couldn't help but have a small smile tug on the corner of her mouth. She glanced over to see Meadowkit nearly vibrating with excitement. A silent laugh puffed through her nose as the little one declared her plan. Maybe announcing such an idea wasn't the brightest idea. She'd let her learn from someone else, however.

/in and out!​

[beetlepaw]

Beetlekit had still been asleep when Palefire entered the den, both eyes groggily opening. Meadowkit had been loud and chattery all morning, so his paws had been folded over ears that had barely opening up a few weeks ago. Squinted eyes stared at them, the conversation mostly lost on him as he stared at the feathers. Meadowkit was already cheerily proclaiming her claim on the feather, and he was already pushing to wobbly paws, stretching with a wide yawn.

"That sounds super funny, Med. Can I watch?" Beetlekit called as he finally made his way over, steps still lazy with sleep. He hadn't even bothered to rouse his siblings before picking at the feathers for himself, sitting back and trying to catch his own tail to stick it in. Once successful, a wide grin split on his face, turning round and round as he stared at the feather. "Dove! Lil'! Look at my feather!" He called to his siblings, tail high in the air as he showed off his new accessory.

[sparrowpaw.]

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sparrowkit was huddled up next to Flamewhisker for a nap when Palefire arrived. Of course, the boy had been tossing and turning instead of sleeping, so he was up on his paws quickly when the warrior dropped the prey at Flamewhisker's paws. He was just about to ask to share with her, or just try a little bite, when the next announcement came: Palefire brought gifts.

The blue jay's feathers were beautiful; they reminded him of his mother's blue eyes. He took one eagerly, preparing to show it off to another kitten or perhaps give it away as his own gift, but upon looking at the other kittens he discovers.. they are all amongst themselves, separated in little groups with their littermates and friends. Sparrowkit looks down at his paws for a moment as uncertainty washes over him. He didn't have littermates to show the feather to.

But, he isn't feeling down for too long. There is still one cat he can give the feather to - multiple, actually. After plucking it so delicately from the bird, Sparrowkit returns to @Flamewhisker and holds it up to her with a beam of love. "'S for you," he speaks through the feather's pin, grinning from ear to ear. "'S for the babiesh, too." They could put it in the nest, and he can show it to them when they arrive! It was a grand idea.
