Yewstar smiled. "You're right, Yew. Thanks. I think i'll take your advice." he said, getting up.
"Its been lovely staying with you....." he hinted, sad that he had to be leaving so soon. But Blackkit was yawning, and if they were ever going to make it to camp before she fell asleep they would have to leave right away.
"Come on young ones." he chided, nudging Whitekit to his paws.
Blackkit yawned, her pink tongue curling. "Where are we going dada?" she said, blinking her sleepy blue eyes.
"We're going to swim across the river." Yewstar replied, picking Blackkit up by her scruff and plunking her down in the shallow water.
"Brrrr! It's freezing!" she complained, lifting one paw gingerly out of the water.
Yewstar hesitated. It would do no good for the kits to freeze. Plus, he didn't think they could make it all the way across. Sighing, he picked Blackkit up in his jaws before leaping into the cold river, his powerful strokes surging through the water. Before long he had reached the other side. Scooping a small den in the dirt, he placed the shivering Blackkit in the impression. The night had quickly turned cold. Hurriedly he returned to the far back, taking Whitekit up by the scruff and repeating the process. Finally only Ashkit was left on Yew's side of the river.
"Is there any chance you would come with me?" Yewstar asked Yew, blushing.
