LAKEMOON — me and the devil, walking side by side.
“Stay close to me, now.” Lakemoon’s voice bleeds from just inside the nursery, where she leads her two children out into camp for the first time, today would be their first official appearance to the clan.
They were marvelous things, the only vibrance that had been able to poke holes within the cloudiness of the warriors' grief.
Snowkit was boisterous, her presence already far outgrowing his mottled, earthly being. Lakemoon would have been able to recognize the competitive spark that had begun to flicker since she had begun to walk from anywhere.
Her son, on the other paw, seemed to have inherited Lilybloom’s softer demeanor, despite his muted resemblance to Lakemoon herself.
In the beginning, Lakemoon had struggled to even gaze at the duo for too long, wrestled with unjustifiable blame that she fought not to place on their small shoulders, especially as they had begun to grow from mere scraps of slumbering fur, and the pieces of Lilybloom that had been instilled in them begun to shine through. Iciclefangs stoic presence had helped some, she was more attentive to Snowkit and Graykit than Lakemoon could be, but never tried to pry her way into the silvery warriors mind.
Now, there is still pain, there would always be pain, but Lakemoon could hardly step away from them, not wanting to miss any of the most important moments, even if from a small distance.
The trio spills out from the mouth of the nursery, narrowed optics scanning the camps clearing before she’d let her children step ahead of her. Dipping her head to hover just above their ears, Lakemoon knows Iciclefang and their cousins may be soon to follow. “What do you think?”
"speech"
