pafp new rules [ sharing tongues ]

〕"So, how have the kits been? No more sneaking into the medicine den I hope?" Green eyes glittered in amusement as she glanced at the queen beside her. The time when Littlekit had wanted honey from Gentlestorm still replayed fondly in the back of her mind. Even though she had been happy to have her kits be apprenticed at the last meeting, she still missed the comfort of having her kits sleeping at her side. The feeling of knowing they were safe and protected within the walls of the camp. It would take some time to get used to it, that was for certain...especially since her kits were all she had left.

"They're growing like weeds...Their ceremonies should be any day now, right?" A rough tongue rasped over her front paw as she lifted it to her muzzle. It wouldn't be much longer before the nursery was the emptiest it had been since leaf-bare. However, the apprentice's den was surely becoming crowded by now. Perhaps they would need to add onto the den here soon...there were still several more litters to become apprenticed.

It had been nearly a moon since Flamewhisker had left the nursery and returned to her duties, and Roeflame had found her missing her former co-queens company more than she would have thought. Moonwhispers death had been a sickening shock, and while Roeflame scrambled to provide support to the kittens who mourned amidst her own grief, she tried to be as present for her mate as possible, just as he had always been for her. It was almost jarring to think about how different things were, compared to when the three queens had first moved into the nursery.
Yet, moments like this were nearly tranquil amongst the discourse, and it was nice to simply share a peaceful moment with a friend. “They’re getting antsy.”
Roeflame replies honestly with an amused purr. “I don’t blame them, they’re as tall as I am now.” Which wasn’t saying much, but still a bit absurd for the queen to think about. “How about your new apprentices?” Roeflame gives Flamewhisker a light nudge, a grin saddled on round features. “How’re they settling in?”

⊱⊰ His siblings and cousins mourn their mother, their aunt. Hopekit doesn’t know what to feel, though. Moonwhisper wasn’t his family, that much has been made clear to him through Butnstorm’s refusal to be a father to himself and Coalkit. Littlekit and Dovekit and Beetlekit get to call the black-furred tom a father, and Howlingstar a grandmother, but Hopekit and Coalkit don’t even have a real dad. They have Roeflame, as close to a real mother as they’ll ever get. She’s more than enough, but still, there’s… there’s a hole in what’s supposed to be a family. Sometimes, if he thinks about it too much, he imagines that he could mourn his parents. But he didn’t know them, and the stories of their good deeds can’t possibly live up to the real thing.

So… Hopekit isn’t as sad as his siblings and cousins about Moonwhisper’s death. He isn’t even as sad as Roeflame. When he hears the queen’s voice from a few fox-lengths (at least, he thinks they’re fox-lengths, seeing as he’s never seen a fox) away, the lilac tom is quick to stride over to join her. Long, spindly legs make closing the distance easy, though his gait is far from the easy trot that would be expected of a cat of his age. Despite being nearly old enough to be an apprentice, Hopekit trips over his own paw rather than demonstrating grace and dexterity. He’s glad for his latest growth spurt, but his newfound height also means that as he finally reaches Flamewhisker and Roeflame’s side, he nearly bumps directly into his mother.

The two mothers are talking about their kits’ apprenticeships, and it only serves to remind Hopekit of how close he is to becoming an apprentice. He settles into his haunches beside his mother, tilting his head toward her. "Howlingstar should make me an apprentice soon," he chimes in. "I’m definitely ready to leave the nursery." Ready to leave behind paws kicking him in the ribs in the dead of night, loud snoring from the other side of the nest… surely Flamewhisker must be happy to have her own nest again, he thinks. Sharing nests in the nursery is unbearable.
