Rain That Falls Quietly (Rain)
The pale silver and white tabby she-cat gave them a soft smile. "Well, I assume you'll be staying here?"

(How far along is Blair?)

Rumble of Distant Thunder (Rumble)
The pale brown tabby tom blinked, now suddenly confused.

Spark of Fading Embers (Spark, known to most of the tribe as Fading)
As Shadow flung his paws everywhere, the ginger and white tabby she-cat moved away just slightly and was struck on her shoulder instead of her neck by pure luck. Spark remembered her son and shoved Shadow once more towards the cliff. This tom will not make an orphan of my son!

Seashells By The Shore (Seashell)
The cream lynx point she-kit squealed, as Squeak had found her pretty easily.

Whisper of Swaying Oak (Oak)
The ginger tabby tom yawned, noticing his sister, Silverfox, with two other kits. He sprinted in front of her, attempting to scare them off but he just looked like he was pouting.

Flight of Squawking Kite (Kite)
The gray tabby tom nodded, letting Shallow go to sleep. Once Bird started pawing at his belly, Kite knew what he wanted but since his mate was going to sleep, he didn't want her to be disturbed. He frowned, but he hadn't wanted his kits to eat prey just yet so he gently picked Bird up and set him next to Shallow's belly.

Bee That Flies Around Hives (Bee)
The calico she-kit soon fell asleep, curled up next to her mother.

Screech of Frightened Hawk (Screech)
The pale ginger tabby tom gave the other tom a tiny smile. "It's fine with me."

Purr of Happy Cougar (Cougar)
The pale brown tabby she-cat softened, returning to watching her kits. "Play nice, you three!"

Growl of Raging Dogs (Growl)
The large gray tabby tom lashed his tail, with his ears flattened. "And why should I tell you? I'm no tribe cat. Unlike you, you smell exactly like one."

[`sappho]

blair and rin

blair nodded. "yes, if your leader will accept us, that is," she said to her. rin nodded in response, agreeing with his sister.

(I just read the part with Leopard. I started laughing.)

Rain That Falls Quietly (Rain)
The pale silver and white tabby she-cat stiffened just slightly, and played it off as a cold chill. "Once he gets back from hunting, he'll give you his answer." Technically, Shadow did go hunting with Spark a while ago but he hadn't come back yet.

(How far along is Blair?)

Rumble of Distant Thunder (Rumble)
The pale brown tabby tom blinked, now suddenly confused.

"I actually washed up here, and Feather brought me here. If he hadn't saved me, I don't know what would've happened to me." She said.

Carmello returned to his cave, confident that the tom would never come on his territory again.

Leopard smirked at the tom's expression and continued onwards to camp.

Eel sort of awkwardly stood there, not really knowing what to do.

Ice / Boatswain / Female / Location: close to the tribe's entrance / Tags: Open

Ice continued to meditate. It has been quite a while. She opened one eye to scan her surroundings. She started to worry that Flower got caught, but she shook the idea out of her head, knowing that the apprentice wouldn't get caught easily. Little, though, may be hard to distract. Ice closed her opened one eye and resumed her meditation once again, feeling the cool breeze go by. Feel free to interrupt her.

wolf looked down at his fur, stopping and sitting down for a moment. he took a paw and rubbed it down his side, pushing, if not all, most of the sand out of the area. "it can get a little warm, but is very soft and fluffy, so it doesn't hold heat super well. you can feel it if you'd like!" he said, seeing the look on mist's face. he purred softly, pleased with the fact that his breed was intriguing the kitten.

smoke padded on one of the shores of outcast island, her tail flicking in frustration as she thought. stupid tribe cats. she stopped and dug her claws into the sand, leaving deep marks. they had ruined everything! smoke completely froze, looking down at her paws, the white toes with sand trapped between them and dull claws from the sand. they had ruined everything. suddenly saddened, smoke sat down, her tail now swaying quietly in the sand. she lifted a paw and extended her toes, watching the sand fall out from in between them and staring at her dull claws. was it really worth all of this?

[`sappho]

blair and rin

rin nodded. "alright," he said. "is there anyway we could help you in the mean time, to thank you for helping us?" he asked.

( she is about four weeks into her pregnancy so she still has about six or so weeks till she has the kits )

Rain That Falls Quietly (Rain)
The pale silver and white tabby she-cat brightened, and shook her head. "Unfortunately, not for me. But maybe you could help Cougar." She gestured to the maiden currently collecting her kits.

(Ah, thank you)

//needing Little in Flower's post <3

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower felt horrible for abandoning the two, especially Tide, but she did not want to let Ice down. This was her one opportunity she prove that she was not, well, pointless. Entirely, utterly pointless. She wanted to improve herself, and perhaps do something that would make her seem more worthwhile; something that she could tell stories about someday to her kits if she ever had any.
Flower looped around the ship, squeezing in through one of the narrow openings in the back. She kept low to the ground to refract any attention sent her way. Her sights were set on the nursery, and it was not longer before she bounded into it with a determined expression set on her maw. It was not until she was inside that she realized she had not thought about what she was going to say yet. She found herself standing there awkwardly. Flower quietly called out into the gloom,"Little? Are you there?"
Tide's ears droop slightly, "Oh, sure" He said with a slight smile, before shifting further into the ground.
She needed to get back to Ice, so she had to make this quick; but not too quick. Rushing would just make her make silly mistakes. Thoughts raced through her mind. The time had come to make a decision.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream's tail lashed, eyes narrowing as he mocked her for the way she assumed certain characteristics against the rogues. "And you are so holy, are you not? You think of all of us as thoughtful, intelligent, hardworking tribe members. You believe that it has not affected us feeding twice as many cats as before. You think that losing our leader, who may or may not have killed Moon, was beneficial for us. Some friends of yours would rather watch us hunt for them, using our familiarity with the territory and their control to their advantage; but this is perfectly alright, no? Shadow wants us to turn away possible joiners, thus not allowing the tribe to grow to its full effect, but this is normal. He got rid of our surgeon position because it was pointless, yet needed their help when his mate Little was rearing kits. I find some ironies here, so if you would like to argue with me about generalizations, I can keep going." There was an ominous silence after she stopped speaking, and she felt for a moment that Oil might consider attacking her for being so bold. All her frustrations were coming out at once. It felt wonderful to get some of these things off her chest and off her mind.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest peered at the different figures around him individually. Doubloon was lounging nearby. Lilac had just entered the makeshift den. Star was off to the side near Song. Spirit was curled around Leaf. He was pressed against Spirit. It all would have been overwhelming a moon before when he had just arrived. While he did not entirely trust a few of Raven's followers, those around him were friendly enough. Enough to be considered comfortable around. Lilac's question snapped him out of his thoughts. Tempest was unsure whether she was talking about Shadow, the kits, or him actually being there, so he echoed her question back,"What do you mean?"

Shadow That Dances at Night
One of Shadow's back legs dropped off the edge, leaving him struggling for balance. In his struggle, he reached out with his front paws, aiming to grasp Spark along the sides of the neck. With her being close enough to shove him, Shadow hoped his paws would reach their mark. He planned on using her to steady himself, thus pulling his leg back up a step. His fur puffed up to twice its normal length, realizing that he needed to get away from the edge before he ended up tumbling off of it. Shadow was not going to back down when he had two families at home waiting for him to return. Spark had Fox to think of, well, he had Talon, Little, and both litters of kits to urge him onward. He would not go down without a fight.

Fog from Misty Storm
mist tentatively pressed his paw into wolf's fur, amazed at how springy it felt. his own fur was short, keeping him fairly cool during the intense heat of the day. "wow!" he piped up, head tilting to the side as his curiosity was fulfilled. mist had forgotten momentarily what they were talking about previously. he blinked, eyes widening in excitement as the thought came back to him. "let's go see if mom and ruin are at the den! i want you to meet them. i think ruin will like you." mist started to head towards the tree line, bouncing from paw to paw in anticipation. it felt wonderful to have a friend, even if the friend had emerged from the sand like a monster. the small kit puffed out his gray tabby fur, glancing towards the sky for a moment. "it sure feels hot today!"
