[FALLOWBITE]

( ⁀➷ )　 The nursery is too crowded. Fallow can't make up her mind over which is worse: the sick-smelling medicine den or the cramped, makeshift nursery of the burnt sycamore. At least no one wanted to bother her in the medicine den.

It's quiet now, though. Most of the kits are out playing, which means that it is a dangerous time to go outside. The nursery is left to her and the youngest, and it is the nursery's newest guest that catches her eye. A scrap of fur colored like autumn leaves, just like her mother. Born only just the day before; Fallow was thankfully out of the nursery for it. Fallow creeps closer, stalking like the child is a particularly interesting piece of prey. She's certainly small enough for it. It is only after several heartbeats of staring (from a safe distance, of course) that Fallow speaks. "That's your kit?" she asks the apparent mother, with a fair amount of judgement. "Why's her face look like that?" All pink and scrunched. It's weird.

[MAPLEPATCH]

While queens are always protective of their kits, particularly newborns, Maplepatch allows Fallow to nose around her. The she-kit's curiosity amuses her. When she at last begins to inquire about the newborn kit the torbie is more than happy to provide answers. "It is... Her name is Foxkit." She introduces in a soft whisper as she feels the kitten squirm, readjusting herself before she nuzzles back into her mother's stomach.

"Hm? Oh." Maplepatch giggles, "All kit's are born looking like this, you were too." Or at least Maplepatch thinks Fallow would've been... suppose she did not see the child come into the world like she did most other ThunderClan kits. "In a few days her pelt will get fuller. The pink will go away." Before they all know it, Foxkit will have a full body of fur... It already made Maplepatch's heart ache knowing how quickly she'd grow up.
