check up time! -- private

[Ashmist]

[ Shiro, Sorrelpaw, Lynxtuft, Snowfall, Badgerpaw, Flamingthorn ]

Ashmist began to worry about her kits, all seemed to have a cough of some sorts but Dustykit was the worse of all, as a kit and cough wise. Rebellious little brat.. No matter, today she scheduled for Flamingthorn to come in and check up on all of them, she lay in the guest nest all her kits curled up asleep in her little curved belly and she sighed laying it on the nests side as she waited for him listening to Dustykit weeze miserably making her frown.

"Oh kits.."

[Flamingthorn]

He popped in to check on the kits. Seeing he had little to do otherwise, it was a nice change of pace. Here kittens! Flamingthorn is going to make sure you're healthy and strong for a long life to come! He loved kittens! The energy that radiated from them! The innocence most of them had made him feel all wishy washy inside. He was glad he could help.

trouble.

Whitekit sat, awake, in her mother's nest, her tail flicking. She had a stuck up air to her. "Mom, I'm not sick. I'm perfectly healthy." she meowed, giving her a side glance with her icy eyes. Her half open gaze swept the medicine cat as he entered. She frowned, turning her head with a small hmph.

[Snowfall]

I was up as soon as the strange scent hit my nose.  I pushed myself up, angry with my mother.  "I don't want to be here!"  I spat as I huddled away from the nest, coughs bubbling from my mouth just as frantically as my emotions that popped up on my easy to read face.  "I can cough for the rest of my life as long as I don't have to swallow these dirty plants!"  I rebelled, consistent with my means, but I was trying to be a little bit more quiet than an angry cat would usually be.  I wasn't going to wake my sick siblings.  "I'm not sick, my insides are just itchy."

LAIKA OF GS!

[Flamingthorn]

He chuckled mentally at the stubbornness of the young she-cat. He shot her a smile and purred, I promise you can have some honey if you come over here and let me check just in case. He had too much honey in store and had to use some of it. It was a true pain to store the sweet, sticky stuff. He had taken to snacking occasionally on the excess honey, which should be a big no no but there was so much!

He looked at Snowkit and grinned. My my these kits are stubborn. I can sweeten them up with some honey, not a problem.

Once the strange scent entered the den, Berrykit was on her feet. The tiny, coughing she-cat scrambled in front of her brothers and sisters, narrowing her eyes at the stranger. She let out a tiny kit growl. "Get away from my family, you… you… stranger!" She couldn't think of a better word as she batted at the much larger toms legs. "We're not sick-" she sneezed, shivering, "we're perfectly fine!" She announced stubbornly, breathing heavily from the small amount of exercise. Well, it was more of a wheezy type of thing. "Who are you?"

[Flamingthorn]

I'm a Medicine Cat and my name is Flamingthorn my dear. My job is to make sure all the cats in Iceclan are healthy and based on that sneeze you need to be looked at. I promise you'll like the honey I give you as an award, it's quite tasty if it's okay with your parents. He wasn't going to let a kit bat him around. Besides, it's her first checkup she was reason to feel anxious or even hostile abou this random cat aka him coming into the check on them. He was of no threat at all.

[Snowfall]

I smiled as I watched Berrykit stand up to defend her family.  It was truly heart warming, but it made a perfect decoy to distract the medicine cat and my mother while I escaped.  I sent a silent 'thank you' to my older sister before creeping out the door.  Once I was out, I bolted for a near by lapse of overhanging stones and rocks that jutted from the earth.  I settled myself in the small space behind them, sneakily peeking around them to see if anyone had noticed my escape.

LAIKA OF GS!

[Sorrelpaw]

"You aren't gonna look at me, punk!" He aimed to hide in the corner of the den, coughing violently as he started to run towards it. "I'm fine, I don't need some leaf guy checkin' my insides out. Good bye." He ran for the exit, trying to get there as fast as he could to flee. But he watched his brother fleeing. "Run!!" 

"I'll fight off this big herb oaf!"

Quixotic of GS

[Ashmist]

With a sigh the senior warrior stood up and then closed her eyes "Everyone back here. Now!" she screamed out. "You all are going to get a check up and like it if I have to hold every single one of you coughing children down so Flamingthorn can do his job I will. I will not have any kit of mine dying on me!" she snapped. "Formation now! Come gather around me!"

[Shiro]

trouble.

Whitekit watched the group go into choas, trying not to laugh the whole time. She could only imagine what Ashmist would do to her if she laughed. "Mom. For the last time, I'm not sick. They're the ones that are sick." Whitekit looked at Flamingthorn, narrowing her icy gaze.

Honey? She'd never heard of it before, but obviously it was sweet. I like sweet stuff. She shook her head. "I don't need anything sweet! I'm tough!" She narrowed her blue eyes. "Don't come near us with those gross herbs. We can deal - they're only coughs for CloudClan's sake!" She peeked around Flamingthorn with a smile as Snowkit made his escape - now it was her turn. As Dustykit yelled 'run', she did just that. She scampered away from the herb-smelling cat, wheezing as she went, but glad to be away. She ducked behind a rock, flattening her ears at her mother's call. She left her hiding place. "But Mom! He's intruding! He didn't even ask if he could look at us. And we don't want him shoving herbs down our throats! We're fine!"

LAIKA OF GS!

[Flamingthorn]

He was running a bit low on patience. Did I ever say I was going to give you herbs? I'm just making sure you all are okay. He wasn't trying to mean any harm at all, he was just trying to do his job. He frowned slightly at the situation and blinked. The honey helps with your throats which is why I was going to give you kits it.

[Badgerpaw]

we all hide behind masks

Badgerkit was sleeping up against Ashmist's warm pelt until she started screaming at her rebellious siblings. She groaned a giant groan and sat up. Her black pelt was mussed up and awkward. She looked up at the golden tabby tom with her big pale green eyes. The Siberian she-kit was definitely the biggest now that she'd grown into her body. Her paws were big and her chest was barreled. Unlike the rest of her litter, she hadn't gotten sick. She remained cough free.

Her large, intelligent eyes watched the yellow tom carefully. She knew that he was a bigger tom then her father, but it didn't intimidate her like she'd thought.

Flamingthorn? I can assure you that I am sickness free. She purred, sitting and looking at him. Right Mom?

During the struggle of unruly kits, she merely sat like a good child and looked at her siblings in disgrace. Could they be any more kit-like? Hopefully they'd grow out of it.

[Ashmist]

The she-cat looked at him and sighed. "I'm sorry about this Flamingthorn. But hey listen to Badgerkit and Whitekit, it is Dustykit, Berrykit, and Snowkit that are sick. Would you mind tracking them down to check on them, I would rather my kits not die from a foolish cough they refuse to get checked. But Dustykit needs extra care his lungs seem to be acting up." she mewled.

Then she heard Berrykit complaining and shot a glare at her "Don't play tricks with me, I am much older then you. I know you are sick. I heard you three coughing all night now get over here and let the medicine cat check on you!"
