Rosethorn was wrapped tightly around her three kits. Wavekit stretched his jaws in a wide yawn, the pink of his tongue displayed happily. Folding himself around, he curled back against Stormkit (I've settled on it) and let his amber eyes settle closed, falling back asleep. Stormkit shifted in her sleep, falling against Foxkit with a little grunt. Peace settled gently over Rosethorn, joy seeping into her every muscle. She was more contented than she had been since the announcement of Brightstar and Stonestar. She still missed Stormcloud, but loved him enough to name her only daughter after him, unwilling to call Wavekit by his father's name, trying to keep the proud tom from ever following his father's pawsteps. It was odd, but she trusted much more in her daughter from trotting after her father than she did Wavekit. But now she was so peaceful, keeping herself knotted near the kits.

Silverpaw slipped into the den, a plump fish in her jaws. (Maybe I can be a whoever. If it's alright with you, silvery visits a lot. she likes kits.
"I brought something for you. Hey, I wanted to ask. When do kits eat fresh-kill for the first time?" the apprentice mewed, the fish at her paws and a curious gleam in her blue eyes.

Foxkit woke up at Silverpaw's entrance. "Momma, can we have meat now?"

Silverpaw purred, pale blue eyes sparkling. "I have plenty here for all of you," she added, padding the fish. "I caught it myself. My first fish! Emberheart showed me how."
(hey hawky. do you still want bluewater and briarstar to be a couple? that could be where they start. Briarstar tries to fishing and Bluewater offers to teach him.)

Rosethorn looked up, eyes calm and gentle. "Hello, Silverpaw. They're usually about half a moon, I think. These three are nearing that marker." Turning her amber eyes down to Foxkit, she purred. "Only a small bit," she added, glancing back up. "Congrats, Silverpaw!" She reached out with one forepaw, drawing the fish close. "Stay, have some as well," she offered the apprentice.

(That's a wonderful idea, Rainy, and of course.  ) Foxkit grinned and bounced a little in place, but not much, because Stormkit was on top of him. "Stormkit, wake up, let me out, I wanna have a fish!" The ginger kit struggled to extricate himself without dropping his sister on the ground. |

Stormkit woke awkwardly and rolled off, staggering to her paws. Green eyes wide, she gazed around, startled.

"Mom's going to let us eat fish," Foxkit exclaimed happily. He bounced towards the fish, looking back at his mother before taking his first bite of freshkill.

(yay! okay.)
Silverpaw shook her head. "Thanks, but no thanks. I already ate. I'll stay and watch though," she sat down and curled her tail around her paws. she blushed a bit at the older warrior's praise, but was pleased all the same.

Rosethorn stretched herself out, letting Wavekit and Stormkit scamper for the fish. They took quiet bites, not gulping too much as the queen rose, stretching and forcing her chest to the ground. She took a few bites herself and moved over to Silverpaw. "Kits, don't take too much; you aren't used to the food yet."

Foxkit looked back at his mother with a frustrated expression. "But, Momma, it's good!"

"I know," purred Rosethorn, "but if you eat too much, you'll be sick." Glancing at Silverpaw, she mewed softly, "Tremblingaspen did that first time. Mom would never let us forget."

Silverpaw smiled. She could imagine that. "You were lucky to have HAD a sibling. I was an only kit. And my mother died when I was young... However, it must have been almost as bad when your sibling left. I know how it feels to lose someone. However, you MIGHT see your kin again..." she closed her eyes. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound so upsetting. That sounds like an interesting story. The other queens were so protective I'm surprised they let me EAT solid food!"

Rosethorn purred. "That's true. I doubt I will, but there is that chance. (Not, though - she drowned at sun-drown place) Protectiveness is normal, and good. I would hate to just let my kits do whatever they wanted with no hold on them."

Foxkit rolled his eyes. "Momma doesn't let us do anything fun," he whispered to Silverpaw, hoping Rosethorn wouldn't hear him.
