Fire And Water - Warrior Cats (Private)

[Keriae]

Lucius shuffled closer to her. "It's okay. Our kits will still be beautiful. Just as beautiful and agile and smart as you." He soothed her, pressing his long pelt against her shorter oe. "I promise."

Hawk had disappeared, and came back with a poppy head held in her jaws. She gently shook some seeds free, and pushed two towards the queen. "Eat these. They will help the pain."

[TheSilverfeather]

Narcissa shrugged and watched Lucius, the pain she felt being reflected in her eyes. "How can you be so sure that they will be okay?" she asked silently and looked at Hawk. "Thank you." she said and lapped the seeds up, swallowing them soon after. She laid her head on the ground and closed her eyes, hoping to get some sleep.

[Keriae]

He lowered his voice as Hawk slipped out of the den, no doubt leaving them to talk. "I know because they are our kits." He told her simply. "And they are strong. I can sense it."

[TheSilverfeather]

Narcissa sighed, already sleepy from the poppy seeds. "I hope they will be as strong and friendly as you are." she said and relaxed every muscle, until she fell into a deep sleep, having nightmares about her kits and birth.

Dove watched as Hawk came out from the medicine den and peeked in, seeing Narcissa and Lucius together. "Is everything alright, Lucius?" she asked, for Narcissa was obviously asleep.

[Keriae]

Lucius looked up. He dn't want to tell her the truth, so he nodded. "Yes. Everything's fine." He told her, sitting up straight. "I can't train you today. Not with my injuries."

[TheSilverfeather]

Dove narrowed her eyes slightly, not actually believing that everything was fine. Besides, why would Narcissa be in the medicine den? She surely didn't look terribly injured or sick, but she probably was visiting Lucius so she simply shook the thought away. "Ah, I didn't expect you train yet. Besides, I'm not sure I can train yet either." she said silently and walked inside, laying down in the nest she had been laying in since the battle.

[Keriae]

Lucius nodded. "You fought well, for a new apprentice. You have a natural fighting ability." He glanced at his long pelt. t had once been a handsome light golden, almost white colour, and now it was covered in drying blood. Smirking, he looked at his apprentice. "Don't worry. Not all of the blood is mine." He told her, roughly licking it to get rid of the blood. "Care to help?"

[TheSilverfeather]

Dove smiled. "Thank you, Lucius." she said and licked her paw a few times, happy that she had been praised this way. She looked at him again when he talked about blood and understood why. He was covered in blood, covering his fur. She shrugged and continued watching him as he licked some of the blood away. "Sure." she said and got up, walking over to his side and then she began lapping at his fur, careful to not hurt him but yet rough enough to remove the blood.

[Keriae]

Lucius stuck his tongue out, pulling a face. The blood tasted disgusting. Must be ThunderClan blood. He thought, but resumed cleaning his pelt. This would take a long time. He noticed that his chest was getting steadily cleaner. "I might as well go and stand in a river, or the lake." He remarked, but not really wanting to.

[TheSilverfeather]

Dove watched as Lucius seemed to lick at something that didn't taste good and shrugged. "Are you sure you're strong enough to go to there?" she asked, a bit worried about how much strenght Lucius would use at going there. "Take another cat with you if so. I don't want my mentor to drop to the ground and get eaten by predators." she muttered watching him quietly.
