The sun was just coming up over the tops of the mountains and the light rays were just touching the morning dew that had settled the night before. A chill breeze blew through the middle of the camp, creating a low whistling noise that was indistinct to her own hearing. The sky was painted with the most beautiful reds, oranges, and even tinges of pinks. It was going to be a bright and nice morning.

Rousing from her deep sleep, the white speckled she-cat wandered out from her ever warm nest in the nursery. It'd been some time since she'd kitted and it was about time for her to move out of the nursery. She knew that the time was soon but she'd do it tomorrow if not sooner. There were plenty of other she-cats who would love to be in her nest for their own kittings. It was time to be selfless and give someone else her position.

Doestrike sat down in the brisk wind current coming in through camp and took a deep breath to take in the wonderful scents around her. The crisp scent of the dew, the mountain wind and its sweet scent, and the milk scent coming off her own fur. It was easy to tell that she had kitted as she still had her baby weight, she didn't mind it though. Her kits didn't seem to care and that's what mattered.

The she-cat looked up at the sky and shook her head at her own thoughts. Perhaps today would still turn out to be something eventful.

( I am soooo sorry for a late response... I have been beyond busy with things xc)

Flamepath shook his head in frustration after the dawn patrol left, it was becoming increasingly hard to get anything done with so few warriors in the clan. Stressful thinking...but at the moment they were at peace and happy. The clan thrived, though small. Hopefully leaf-bare doesn't change that he thought as images of scarce prey-piles and hungry kits flooded his head. These were worries for another day.

Sighing, the tom stretched and decided to just take his minds off things for now. Grabbing a finch from last night's kills, the deputy made his way across the clearing and couldn't help but smile. He flicked his tail in greeting as he approached the familiar face he had spotted almost instantly. "Good morning Doestrike!" he chirped, setting his breakfast down and brushing against her cheek lightly before sitting down besides her.

(That's alright, it's the beginning of the school year now so even I might have a few late replies)

Doestrike was brought out of her thoughts and smiled her mate. The rocky, earthy scent made her think back to all the good times out in the woods they had. She rubbed her head against his in an affectionate way and smiled at him. What a good guy he was, what a wonderful father he was.

"Good morning dear, how was the hunt this morning?" She asked, nuzzling his shoulder.
