pafp WHEN THE MORNING CRIES ✦ GUARDING MED DEN

[RAINBOWKIT]

✦ — Rainbowkit stomped outside the medicine den after promising his mama that he wouldn't get into too much trouble and his large paws carry him onward with his sister trailing behind him. He glances over to her before squinting at her like some warriors did towards troublesome apprentices "You sit there... and I sit here! We can attack them if they uh... trespass." It seemed simple enough and he knows that Cornflowerkit would understand well enough by the task that he was assigning the both of them, he settles down into his spot that he had claimed already. His pelt is messy due to having managed to squirm away before his mother had gotten a hold of him then again, she's resting and only a few cats slipped into the medicine den or rather the smelly nursery due to how overwhelming the herb scent is. But he doesn't care that much about it considering that it's his den and he had decided that just now.

The bicolored tomkit notices someone approaching and his small kitten pelt begins to prickle in every direction as a soft growl slips from his throat and he clumsily pushes himself to stand on his six toed front paws. "STOP!" Rainbowkit angrily squeaks only to glance in the direction of his sister so that she'd join in, he notices the giant taking another step forward and the little tomkit begins to hiss and spit just the same as he done when he first came into the world.

AM I A TOY TO YOU, MY LOVE? ✦ JUST A THING TO PLAY AND THEN THROW AWAY

• ooc — please wait for @CORNFLOWERKIT to reply otherwise feel free to have your cat being the one hissed at by literal babies :]

• 

• 
  ✦ a unruly furred black and white tomkit with brown eyes & low white
  ✦ rainbowkit, despite his vibrant name, is anything but he tends to come off as dull or boring to those around him since he's moreso fixed on absorbing any knowledge offered to him. he won't entertain kit games and if he continues to be pressured into playing them, he isn't afraid to swat away his denmates with his six-toed paws and sharp words; all his opinions are IC only.
  ✦ 1 moon old; ages the 8th every month
  ✦ sexuality unknown; too young to consider love
  ✦ child of snakehiss and maggotfur
  ✦ brother to ivorykit and cornflowerkit
  ✦ semi-hard to befriend due to how stiff/standoffish he is ; stubborn/will pick fights if he sees necessary
  ✦ "speech", thoughts, attacking
  ✦ peaceful powerplay allowed

[CORNFLOWERKIT]

LEARNED MY LESSON, WAY TOO LONG AGO​

---

cornflowerkit is no better than her brother when it comes to the protectiveness of her. she's her mom, and no one needed to bother her. no one needed to be anywhere near her at all! maggotfur was her mom! so, she stands besides her brother, nodding eagerly as she stands protectively– as protectively as a kitten can be when so clumsy and unbalanced– teeth bated and ears pinned right back.

"yeah! stay back! grrrr!"

she is a cat of little word. she doesn't need words to get the point across. she hates them. she hates everyone! they need to stay away, stay out! she would bite any and everyone that got close enough. in fact, as a warrior steps closer, she aims to chomp right on their ankle, snarling angrily and lashing her tail back and forth. no one was getting in.

// feel free to be the warrior she took a bite out of <3

[greywhisker.]

The elder had spent a lot of time trying to involve himself in his granddaughters and great grandchildren. But, he didn't have as much energy now then in his youth. His old bones freaked and groaned as he moved his lumbering form, grey and white shaggy body making his way to the medicine cat den to check on his skin.

Only to be met with fierce kittens. "Oh c'mon lil ones- lil ol' me ain't gonna-" his words were cut off as cornflowerkit aimed forward, digging sharp little daggers into his ankle. "AHHHH!" He shouted, dramaticizing the pain as he attempts to fall upon the kittens, making sure to gently put weight on them but not enough to actually crush them or cause pain. "My paw!!! Ahhh! It 'urts!" He yelled, rolling over onto his belly and sprawling a paw towards the medicine den to scooch himself closer. He was only defying them, trying to intimidate them more and get them to attack him more.

It didn't actually hurt, but he wanted them to fully believe they were doing an amazing job. Because they were- and he wanted nothing but to always encourage his family.

[MARBLEPAW]

Marblepaw's first kitting had gone smoothly, even though she knows both Starlingheart and Maggotfur had been nervous about the outcome. The kits are big, now, and healthy — they stomp about on sturdy little legs, their tails sticking straight up into the air. Tiny milk teeth lash out at Graywhisker, sinking right into his flesh. Marblepaw puts a paw over her muzzle and giggles, padding toward the mouth of the medicine cats' den.

"Starlingheart and I are lucky to have such fierce protectors." She shows her teeth in a teasing grin. "Will you make sure Graywhisker doesn't steal our herbs?" Her smile disappears, and she fixes both Rainbowkit and Cornflowerkit with a very serious green gaze.

[MIRESTAR]

Luck befalls Mirepurr, and thank StarClan it does; for the very life would have been shocked out of their body, had they not expected the new medicine den's guardians to retaliate against Greywhisker. Many elders do not like to be looked at brittle little things... but it is difficult not to think about worn bones and easy fatigue when they look at Greywhisker in particular, having many moons under his belt at this point. An endless source of wisdom — and very much biteable, according to Cornflowerkit.

"But can your protectors defend against this?" Mirepurr offers Marblepaw a wink before diving in; the only real warning before they advance in their plan.

Greywhisker becomes their self-proclaimed ally. With Cornflowerkit busying herself with her victim, Mirepurr can easily find their own in Rainbowkit... and sure enough, they are quick to mimic something akin to a starving fox, with the way their jaws hang agape- gently closing around Rainbowkit, should the kit be unable to get out of the way.

WONDERED WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
TOUCH AND FEEL SOMETHING​

maggotfur ♛ 22 moons ♛ female ♛ she/her ♛ shadowclan queen ​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

For all that maggotfur takes pride in her icy demeanor, there is only so much that ever blank features can do to hide the warmth that inevitably bubbles up s she watches her kits. Motherhood is strnage - even now, sometimes the molly can't quite wrap her mind around the fact that the little balls of fur before her eyes are really hers. That she made those little thins, accidental or not.

And stars above, she adores them. Eyes glimmer with barely veiled warmth as she trails her way over, plush tail swishing along behind her. " My, what fierce guards I have today, " she muses liltingly, glancing about. Greywhisker and Mirepurr seem eager to take on the challenge, so instead she settles down beside Marblepaw.

She doesn't exactly like the apprentice - not yt anyways - but her frost has thawed somewhat. She is no longer just Magpiepaws replacement, but simply... another apprentice. " Watch out, or you'll get eaten, " she adds, dutifully, playing along despite the bland tone of her words.

[SALAMANDERSNAP]

Out of all the cats gathered, it seemed as if Salamandersnap was the only one who appeared to be almost uncomfortable around the presence of the kits. Shifting on her paws as she watches the scene, its all she can do to hope and silently plead that they wouldn't come her way. Salamandersnap had never been fond of kits, often being suggested to be the cat the kits stayed away from. She didn't know how to act around them, or how to deal with them. What was she supposed to do? The molly didn't even want kits of her own! How was she supposed to handle other cats' children if she couldn't handle the mere thought of having her own?
