Calling out father, oh stand by and we will watch the flames burn auburn~ Maplekit The calico she-kit wandered towards the entrance of the camp, hoping to catch a glimpse of the multi-colored pelt of her father. She hadn't met him yet, but the way her mother described him, it seemed like something was spurned for the pair. They really liked each other.
Maplekit sat in the middle of the camp admiring the way the golden light touched the very corners of the camp, casting dark yet mystical shadows. The camp seemed to match her in color, and she smiled. Mom had named her well.
The sun slowly set off the side of the mountain, leaving the camp cast in shades of blues, purples, and blacks, all the while leaving the sky in beautiful shades of golds, reds, yellows, oranges, and brilliant streaks of yellow that seemingly reached to the clouds.
The calico she-kit sat there wondering about how the camp would survive with the chill setting in the air. For as young as she was, she seemed to understand how the world worked. It perhaps came from the observant side of her father, or perhaps the wild side of her mother, either way, she knew that the way she would be raised would be so helpful to her, and her siblings.

Flamepath had been very busy all day. He had decided to attend a patrol himself today and had been checking up on the major paths down the cliff-side in case of any recent landslides they might need to clear. He gave an exhausted breath as he entered camp. He was fairly tired but he shook his pelt and smiled as he looked at a few of his clan-mates mingling before night fully set in.
He thought about going to see Doestrike and the kittens but it was fairly late now and he didn't want to accidentally wake anyone so he decided to go relax a bit and began to walk into camp before almost tripping on something so small he almost didn't see it. He backed up before looking right down and spotting the small kit. It took him a minute but he immediately brightened up as he realized this was one of his children. She had been one of the kits he thought looked the most like him. He felt awful that he almost didn't remember her name. He had been so busy this past week that he hadn't spent too much time with the kits. One of the troubles with being deputy.
"I am so sorry Maplekit.... I almost stepped on you..... are you okay , nothing is hurt?' he began rambling softly as he looked over the kit. He was afraid he had actually stepped on her.

The ske-kit was lost in thought, but the almost familiar shuffling of paws shook her from them. As she looked, a mottled tom was seemingly lost in thought of his own, taking glances at the nursery. As her vision cleared, she noticed that the shape was rather familiar.
She lost back in thought at the time he'd come into the nursery and has bonded with the kits and her mother. It was well and a grand thought to get lost in.
As the mottled tom came rambling closer, she had relaxed her now tensed up body and sighed, her tail and back legs sprawled out behind her in a very odd Doestrike-ish position. She was unaware, yet again, of the tom walking towards her.
Coming to her senses, she went to move out of the way, but was nearly harmlessly trampled. A paw stepped on her tail, and another on her extended back leg. She winced, drawing up her legs and tail underneath her, scooting away from her trampler.
Flamepath was her trampler. She downcast her golden amber eyes, pain clouding them as a faint throbbing in her leg took her breath away, she just looked up at her father and just smiled. He didn't mean to step on her, it was only an accident.
"No, uh, it's okay.. I'm okay.. I'll survive." Maplekit replied, trying not to show the throbbing pain she was feeling. "You seem.. off, what's wrong Papa?"

(Ohhhh scribbles hello :3)
Flaempathstill felt awful for trampling his daughter practically and gave her a few apologetic licks on the forehead. "I really am sorry Maplekit.....and huh?" he cocked his head to the side, his ears flopping ever so slightly as the small kit asked him what was wrong. "Me?....oh it is nothing hun I am just very busy. he explained very bluntly. He decided to sit down next to his daughter, his plumed tail wrapping around her loosely. It felt amazing to be off his paws which now began to throb a bit as they adjusted to the leisurement of sitting.
"Being deputy AND a new father is not easy you know....though I love all my little kits and their mother so much." he said with a small purr. It came as a surprise that he was going to be a father. He would have never guessed that in just a few moons the camp would have seven new kits scurrying about, let alone those kits be his own. He worried about them a lot. He wanted to be part of their life while trying to keep up with his own duties. He always helped look over the clan, but kits and a mother were much different. " I guess your father has just gotten a bit run down recently" he concluded with a tired chuckle as he tried to clean his head of all his thoughts and pay attention to the presious child before him.

She shrugged at her father, as the dulling pain started to go away. She would be better by the time she was a warrior. Tipping her head and him, she finally understood. She forgot that his deputy job had its priority. She wasn't mad, she understood that this was his job and he needed to do.
He had wrapped his nice and fluffy tail around her and she smiled. It was so nice that he could rest with her for a little bit. She leaned into him, twining her short calico tail with his.
Maplekit listened to his purr and smiled again, her purr joining in as well. It was nice to see that he was having a great time sitting with her.
"I can see how your duties to the clan are tying with your love and affection for me, mom, and my siblings. How does it feel to have a litter of kits?" She asked, curiously.

(Oh man I am sorry I didnt reply sooner to this! I have had like probably the busiest week of my life... muesum art gallery things and swimming finals xc)
Flamepath blinked as he listened to Maplekit, she sounded so grown the way she spoke. He almost forgot that kits are young, but not always oblivious. "It is different that is for sure.....imagine if you had only you and no siblings or Doestrike or even me. You would only have to worry about yourself right?" he told her giving a small smile but somehow felt guilty for some unknown reason.
" Then one day, you now have a dozen new faces that you care for deeply and want nothing bad to ever happen to. That is what happened to me. I love you all so much but...I am not very used to it yet. I have duties and am very busy, but I also have you guys. It is very flustering, scary, and comforting." he explained maybe in too much detail. He let out a puff of air which turned into a small cloud of white for a moment as it escaped his mouth.
She was only a kit, and his own daughter, explaining the hardships of her existence might not be the best parenting tactic but he wouldn't ever sugarcoat an answer to a question. He almost felt like a bad father, he wanted to be close to his kits. He couldn't imagine them becoming warriors and only seeing him as deputy and not their father, he himself had always craved a father figure. This made his ears drop a bit as he lost himself in thought for a oment, only being brought back as Maplekit's warmth besides him began to feel extremely noticeable the longer they sat.
