It must be a rude awakening for the kits, nudged awake as the sun broke through the sky. Just beyond dawn, the other daylighters should be at camp by now. She figured it might be nice for them to wake up properly and experience the walk to SkyClan without much chatter. Florabreeze hovers by her two kits, making sure neither one of them trails behind her. There's a very real chance that either one of them could run off and out of her sight but there's a level of trust offered to them, they're understandably reserved so while they don't cling to her side they aren't wholly independent. "If you get overwhelmed at all you can go to the nursery, it can be a lot." She isn't sure if they had a nursery at DuskClan, she doesn't want to ask. Claiming to herself it's for her children's sake when she knows selfishly deep down it's for her own peace of mind. "Butterflytuft will be looking after you during the day and then you'll come home with me at night." she hopes that her friend wouldn't mind, the offer had been there but she's sure neither one of them would expect the maine coon to ever take her up on it. "She's very kind and there's a lot of kits in there for you to play with" did they play at DuskClan? From all the horrible rumours she hears about it she finds herself torn between having hope that they had peers and not wanting that. Desire and rationality wage a war within her with every step she takes, constantly scanning to make sure Wilting and Hollow are here and herding them when they seem a little far for her liking.
The pit in her stomach drops significantly lower as the brambles and ferns come into view. She hadn't thought this through nearly enough, she just knew she couldn't leave them at home in Twolegplace. Old fears of coming home to find her kit, kits, missing sprung at the thought of returning to camp. Swallowing whatever fears and reservations she holds she continues her march into camp with her head held high. "You don't have to talk to anyone okay?" She thinks to tell them that doesn't mean they can be rude but given all they've been through she figured the warriors here could live with one or two more slightly snippy children. "Remember what I said about the nursery" she wants it to be seen as a reprieve for them. The chatter of clanmates fill the air again and Florabreeze first finds herself looking for Butterflytuft in the crowd. Then Doeblaze, another confidant that she has neglected to visit for the past week, it's poor timing given the time they've been sharing recently but as a mother herself surely she would understand.
One of her clanmates sounds closer, it takes the daylighter a moment before she realises that they're talking to her. "Oh- these are my kits, Wiltingkit and Hollowkit" she gestures to each of them with a gentle but swift flick of her fluffy tail. Maw clamps tightly, refusing to elaborate further, it doesn't take a lot of context to remember a pregnant Kite's exile. "Is… Twitchstar here?" She finds herself hesitantly asking, wanting to break the news to him before her children were subjected to further clan outrage surrounding their late parent.
