hey dapple you cant have a charrie named rainwing. I have a rainfeather.)
Oakwing got off the chicks and looked at them. He then flew off and got LittleFeather and brought him back. He wasn't sick anymore, he had eaten a poison berry and thrown it up. He counted his chicks. One by one.
"Littlefeather." He gently tapped his beak. "Go to sleep, my dear. We have a big day tomorrow."
"Smokefeather." He touched the tip of his head careful not to wake him.
"Rainfeather." He preened one of her feathers, gently.
"Brightfeather." He got a soft look in his eyes. "Lighttail would be so proud of you."
"Wintertail." He gently brushed a stray feather away from her eyes. "Snowheart would have taught you to swim by now-- She loved you so much."
Then, he turned his head to the small sleeping animal. It was so tiny, if it was born in his nest Snowheart would have probably tossed her out. She was the size of Littlefeather's head.
"Sandtail." He whispered. He gently nuzzled her, not waking her. "Precious."
He then looked over his nest. All six. "Goodnight, hatchlings." He whispered before settled down next to Littlefeather in case he got sick again.
