Boulderdash came into Harrierpelt’s den, with two things in mind; the first, that Leaf-fall was starting, and that therefore they should probably get on with having kits if they were going to this year; the second, that she wanted to sort out her wound as soon as she could. She’d seen what leaving a wound could do, and how it could make a cat limp. Equally, though, she thought it looked pretty awesome, like a real badge of her being a warrior. She wouldn’t seek out injuries, but she didn’t mind having this one.
Harrierpelt very gently applied a cobweb to the wound, stifling the bleeding. It stopped oozing, and as he kept applying pressure with it, the blood slowed to a trickle, then a dribble, and then each drop took so long to come up that each time, Boulderdash saw one, she assumed it would be the last. It was weirdly fascinating to watch. They spoke as Harrierpelt sorted out the wound.
“That rogue did that, didn’t he?” There was genuine concern in the tom’s voice. “I’m glad to see you took Argusheart; it probably stopped anything worse, and I wouldn’t stand for you- or anyone- getting injured unnecessarily.”
“It’s fine, it’s just a nick.”
“It’s a nick you didn’t need.” They were quite for a little while. Harrierpelt gently removed the pad for a few seconds to check the state of the wound.
“Harrierpelt, I’ve been thinkin’, that we should really get on with things now, already. If we get kits, I don’t want them comin’ during Leaf-bare- and I don’t want to ‘ave to wait until New-leaf. Harrie-"
Boulderdash was interrupted by Harrierpelt. “It’s risky, having kits in Leaf-fall, I don’t want you to risk yourself if you don’t have to." He quickly checked underneath the cobweb again, this time satisfied that the rest would stop on its own accord.
“But I don’t want to have to wait until New-leaf, that’s too long, and far too long for you.”
-----
Argusheart surveyed the fresh-kill pile. There were only a few items left, and, sure, it was fine for now, but who knew how much they’d be needing over Leaf-bare? If they kept meeting rogues, and kept inviting them into the clan, no way would there be enough fresh-kill for them all unless they stocked up plenty now.
“Chubtail, we need to go hunting; we need to take every available warrior, and stock up as much as we can before Leaf-bare.”
Chubtail looked up at Argusheart from where he was minding the kits. He saw how hard she was finding it to not pay her first attention to the two young toms over him, but she was certainly managing it. “Well, good to see I’ve got some agreement, I was planning to bring a patrol out anyway. Heronstar’s planning to go to the moonpool tonight, so she won’t come, but the rest of us can.”
Argusheart puffed up slightly. “Why does she have to go, then?” As far as Argusheart was concerned, she needed to be hunting with the others unless it really was something of the utmost importance.
“She’s planning to ask Starclan to send her a new warrior.” At least that was worthwhile, Argusheart thought, but she really should be joining in, too, soon.
-----
“Boulderdash asked me to cover up as your kits’ father if they come.” Harrierpelt looked up at the much larger tabby tom, looking genuinely worried for a second, and then relaxing as he realised the look on Myrtleclaw’s face.
“How’d you work that out, that?”
“She said that if she was having any soon, their father would be grey. In case you haven’t noticed, Chubtail’s not, and he’s perfectly happy with his mate. It didn’t leave a lot of options.” Myrtleclaw still looked pretty proud of his deduction, though. It sort of proved for Harrierpelt’s sake that he’d spent a while thinking it through. He’d probably been wondering if Boulderdash had been meeting a cat from another clan during the gathering or something. Harrierpelt didn’t have the heart to comment on that.
“You’re happy to cover up for us, then?”
“Of course, yes! I love kits! I get to be a dad without having to bother with all that other stuff first, you get to have kits without distracting from your own duties, Boulderdash gets to keep her friendship with me and her mate-ship with you. It’s brilliant. Everyone benefits.”
“You’re not concerned about me being a medicine cat then?”
“If I can do enough of the raising of them that you still have the time for your duties, I don’t see an issue. Over leaf-bare you should have enough time to be a part-time dad, and a medicine cat. Just get back to duties after that.”
-----
Droserakit jumped up onto the ledge and watched the warriors leaving to catch prey. He really wanted to be able to join them, and to do it soon. Shellkit sat next to him on the ledge, but his brother was marvelling at the colours of the leaves, sure that they’d looked different just the day before.
-----
Heronstar felt a little bad to be leaving her kits again, but she made sure she only left after the warriors returned from hunting, and they seemed to be excited for Boulderdash to be looking after them again. However, the leader maintaining the clan’s connection with Starclan was important, and she knew she had to go. Her kits could manage without her for one night, and having extra warriors to help stock up on food before Leaf-bare would be indisputably indispensable.
She touched her tongue to the moonpool, and closed her eyes.

(I’d quite like either a white, sandy, or pale ginger coloured- or something like that- cat definitely not to make poir- my first detective cat, noooope, which, even if that were the case, would definitely not imply I’m planning anything suspicious at all. I trust your judgement between them and with any other traits, bc so far you’ve been brilliant at them ;3)
