Ferngill really needed to stop hoarding so much stuff, now he was sharing his nest... it'd be a shame to get rid of some of his pretty stones, but he needed the space for newer, more sentimental items. So some of the less memory-attached memorabilia were now scraped into a little pile, stones and pebbles of various sizes making up the majority. Luckily, he had a little helper at his side... "Now, Pinekit...you've got a good eye, like your mother." A little bit of exaggeration, because Iciclefang didn't care very much for collecting... but she was pretty particular about stuff.
"I trust you to help me pick out only the best stones to keep," he told her, completely earnest. And with a trilling purr, thrumming with love, he added, "And they'll mean even more, because you picked them." Every day he made sure his niece and nephews knew how much he loved them; he had to make up for the grandfather and two aunts that had never gotten to meet them.
