private HAND THAT FEEDS ─‎ ⋆ FLAMESTAR

[nightbird]

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ her skill wasted away in the nursery, sitting idly while patrols returned empty-pawed was killing her slowly. the lead warrior had accepted her fate, hadn't complained once about remaining until her kits reached their sixth moon. but the eagerness of which leafbare intended upon beating down on their door had her fur ruffled more often than not, the desperation of dogs and foxes alike to come crawling from the woodwork- stealing their prey and maiming able bodied warriors. nightbird could not just sit and watch thunderclan suffer.

there were enough queens, more than anticipated for any leafbare but it would likely work in her favor this once. her kits were near grown, did not need tending to all day. she'd be doing more for them by ensuring they did not starve than sitting at their sides. twilightkit could handle her siblings well enough while she was gone.

the queen arrives to flamestar's den a little after dawn, carried upon purposeful strides. "flamestar, do you have a moment?" if the ginger pelted leader could not see her position, she would remain a guest in her den until she did.

[Flamestar]

〔✦〕With each passing week, it seemed as though they gained another occupant in the nursery. Badgerstripe had worried her, but it wasn't a surprise to have one litter of kits born too close to leafbare. Then Doepath had joined the queens, and while she hadn't approved, she hadn't commented negatively on the situation....but now she had caught wind of yet another, Sunshinespot. The frost hadn't come yet when Badgerstripe had moved in, but now that it was here, it was even more worrisome to have two more new occupants. Leafbare was coming, whether they were prepared or not. The last thing they needed was any more kits. Too many skilled hunters were now confined to camp, and they were bringing in more mouths to feed. Even though she was normally overjoyed by the announcement of kits, this was hardly good news.

When Nightbird caught her, she was not actively doing anything, besides trying to plan today's hunting patrol that she was taking out soon. Her last one had almost ended with her losing a life to a dog....they were fortunate the mutt was starving and unable to put up a decent fight. Unnecessary blood could have been spilled...something else they did not need right now. At her Lead Warrior's voice, Flamestar's ears perked up and she trilled in greeting. "Of course, come in please. Is everything alright?"

  a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ "no," nightbird puffs with sarcastically charged amusement as she enters the leaders den, taking a place across from the molly to sit. besides the fact that everying was cold, her children seemed to have gained a fiery competitive streak with age. it was good, she thought. would be for an apprentice, stuck in the nursery with them it was exhausting.

everyone was restless, camp was charged with such a tentative energy as their neighbors and the weather seemed to close in on all sides. something was happening, they needed all paws available to be ready for it. "my kits aren't far from their sixth moon. with doepath and sunshinespot's arrival to the nursery -" nightbird would withhold her personal opinions on the matter despite the irritated twitch of her ear saying quite enough. "- there are plenty of queens to keep an eye on them."

she doesn't think to add, 'if we keep going like this we will starve' to her list of reasons, it should be blatant enough. "let me at least hunt. i'll return to them after, i'll eat when the warriors do. i cannot sit any longer and have prey dropped at my paws knowing i'm capable of killing it myself. i cannot do nothing." nightbird's head is not so inflated to believe her presence on a hunting patrol would change its luck, but if any of her clanmates went hungry while she sat grooming her fur for the hundredth time, she'd never forgive herself.
