Foxfur:
"Wonderful, Russetclaw!" I meow, happily, and before I can approach him, Shadepelt has come over and asked to join the patrol. I'm just about to say yes, when all of a sudden he bursts out about me being deputy. I stare at him, mouth agape, and unable to process his density for a moment. Finally, I speak, "You just now figure that out, mouse-brain?" I ask, sarcastic but affectionate. "Yes, I'm deputy." I say, and for an instant I allow a sadness to be conveyed to him, but I quickly clear my gaze, "And yes you may join the patrol, we'd better head out if we hope to be back before dark."
Hawktail:
"She'll be a good apprentice." I say, picking Mousekit up carefully and settling her down against Thunderstar once more, "Stay there, little one, you'll be much warmer." I murmur gently. Looking up into their mothers eyes, I feel even more affection for the kits. They seem to be big for their age, perhaps Starclans blessing has extended to do more than quicken the pregnancy, perhaps even their kithood will be aided.
Mousekit:
"Papa." I pipe up, and then search my mothers belly for more milk. Finding some, I latch on and content myself to purr, drink, and kneed mommy's tummy. I know somehow that the strange cat I glimpsed was my papa. I can tell by the scent of him too, and as I drink, I work to open and close my eyes; the newest trick I've learned.
Stonekit:
Hearing the word 'papa' I mew wonderingly. "papa?" I squeak, and turn my blind head towards the stranger that entered. I can smell him, and yes, he does smell safe. Must be papa. I want to move to him, but I'm so tired already, I just collapse back into sleep.
