Moonpool Visit: Today!
Leading yet another hunting patrol, Featherfur led is group quickly and silently over the rise and away from camp. Before long he'd separated his group into groups of two, as that always yielded the bet results. Brackenfrost and Reedwhisker broke off and moved for the western border, while Frogstep and Hollytuft continued dead ahead. Calling Tinytail with a twitch of his whiskers, the silver tom led them east.

Robinstar made quick steps to cross the territory and arrived at Moonpool before long. He made quick work of getting settled and touching his nose to the water. When he awoke in the fields of Starclan, he noticed that there was one more pelt than usual, silver-and-white and studded with stars. He also noticed that the other cats of Starclan seemed to be standing apart from her. Odd. "My clan thrives - we have more kits in the nursery than we know how to handle." He paused and chuckled, thinking about the absurd amount of kits wriggling around the nursery. "Five of them were born to rogues, but since their parents abandoned them, they are welcomed into my family." That brought up a wave of harsh whispers. Confused, Robinstar glanced around the crowd but received no answers. "Since we have so many kits, I worry that we won't have enough warriors to mentor them when they get older. I come asking that you send me a warrior."
--
Finchtuft hated hunting for herbs. Hated it with a burning passion. It reminded him that he was alone, that Rippleberry was dead and that five of the kits in the nursery were half clan. So with rage burning a hole in his chest, Finchtuft nosed through underbrush and slid around brambles, trying to find anything so he could get this damn search over with.

All four apprentices were buzzing with activity, jumping around camp and chattering among themselves. One of them had caught word that they were going to be taken to the large pond west of camp for swimming lessons. Pikefang was leading the lesson, seeing as he was the only one out of the mentors to have swimming experience. When the silver tabby in question appeared, they all rushed over. "When are we going?" Peachpaw asked with glittering eyes. "Can you really swim?" Owlpaw cut in, looking skeptical. Pikefang's lip curled. "We leave now - and of course I can swim, furbrain." He snapped, scowling deeply while the other three mentors watched in amusement. "C'mon, let's get our paws wet!" Foxbelly hooted from behind, sending the apprentices into a tither.
--
When Finchtuft arrived in camp, he went straight for the nursery. Before he even ducked his head into the den, complaints and high mewls filled his ears. "I came to check on R-" He caught himself quickly, cursing in his mind. "On the rogue's kits." Rainwhisker flashed him an exhausted look and a small smile, nodding to the kits in question. Eyes softening for the first time since Rippleberry's death, Finchtuft inched forward and nosed the five kits. "C'mon little ones, we're going to go on a little adventure." He purred, giving each kit a quick lick between the ears. "I want them to walk to my den - would that be alright? So I can get a good idea of how they're fairing." Rainwhisker gave him a soundless nod and laid her head on her paws. Poor she-cat was exhausted. One by one the little kits raised their voices in complaint, but slowly stumbled out of their nest. "Good job, all of you. Come on now." Finchtuft soothed, guiding them with his tail. It wasn't until they were halfway to his den that Pebblekit stumbled and fell. "I'm tired!" The little tom wailed, refusing to rise from his spot. Finchtuft was quick to pick up the kit by the scruff, mumbling cooes between the kit's fur. "Not much further, I have something for you all."
When they got to the den, Finchtuft quickly corralled the five kits into his nest and let them settle down. He ducked around behind the nest and hooked a piece of honeycomb in his claws. Then he spent the next minute or so making sure they weren't kicking at each other to get at the treat. Fennelkit was the first to look suspiciously at Finchtuft, letting his wide eyes narrow. "Who're you?" He demanded, unsheathing claws so tiny it was more adorable than threatening. Smiling slightly, Finchtuft settled down beside the nest and rested his head on his paws. "I'm Finchtuft, the medicine cat." Crowkit was the next to speak up, eyeing him skeptically. "What would a medicine cat want with a couple rogue kits?" She growled the word rogue. It clawed bitterly at his heart. "Well, it's my job to make sure everyone in the clan is safe. And you're all part of the clan." The kits didn't seem eager to believe him, but Ripplekit was watching him raptly, her bright eyes never leaving him. "Did you meet momma?" Pebblekit squeaked, looking nervous to peek his head above the nest lining and speak. Finchtuft's smile sagged, and his ears pulled back. "Yes, I knew your momma. Not - not well, since she was a rogue, but I knew her." That got their attention. "She was very kind, and I know that your momma loves you very much. It doesn't seem like it, but you'll always have family watching over you." He said gently, licking each kit between the ears. I'm your family now, little ones. He thought, his smile turning wistful.
