Delicate paws perched at the edge of the nursery, wishing, willing for something to happen. Lilacfur's impromptu interrogation would have been riveting if Needledrift had not been so caught up in the distressing sounds coming from the newcomers and all how-ever-many pebbles they weighed. Even from her distant vantage point, the gray queen could tell that the pair were sickly, frail, small for what their apparent age had to be. Even her own tiny kittens seemed stronger than they did.
She could feel her children at her feet now, squirming and worming in that way that kittens did when they wanted something. Her eldest children did it now, sometimes, mimicking their little siblings in pleas for attention. Needledrift smiled as one of her youngest climbed atop one of her front paws, demanding to be seen.
"Hello, sweet one." the little she-cat cooed, "You're certainly act-" She paused. There, on her feet, its mouth wide and hungry, was a kitten - her kitten - with its eyes open wide. Slate-blue and round and open, staring right back up into her own green eyes. Needledrift's gaze traveled swiftly from kit to kit, noticing with a mixture of shock and glee that all of their eyes were open, blinking, staring expectantly up at her for attention.
"F-fernie?" Needledrift called out into the clearing, not daring to look away from the hungry gazes leveled at her. "Fernie, come here! They're looking at me! They're looking!"
