BoulderClan Nursery

The Nursery. This is where you can find kits eating, sleeping, or mainly just playing and having fun. :D

Kit Count:5

Kits:Blazingkit, Fixationkit, Patchkit, Seedkit, Smoulderkit.

Seedkit padded into the nursery, blinking several times until his eyes adjusted to the darkness better. He went to the back of the den, in the far right corner. Assembling a little nest, the little cream tabby curled up, wrapping his tail around himself to keep warm. His eyelids fluttering until his eyes were closed, Seedkit fell into a deep sleep.

Blazingkit came into the Nursery from the camp clearing. Her paws were wet from the snow and her eyes were taking their time to adjust to the gloom. The nursery was dark and cozy, she loved that. It was so easy to sleep in there. She stepped in further and headed to her usual sleeping spot- near the middle of the den, close to the wall. She liked the cool stone against her back sometimes, but didn't like to be in the back where it was too hot, she also didn't like being too close to the den entrance; because of the winter cold. She prodded her moss nest, thinking.

Patchkit had been lightly dozing when Seedkit and Blazingkit entered the Nursery. At their arrival, Patchkit looked up at her sister from her messy nest, the one that was strewn across an entire corner of the nursery. She picked at a piece of dirt caked in her claws with her teeth and twitched her tail back and forth curiously. She only lasted a few minutes before speaking, though quietly so as to not wake up Seedkit, "You look deep in thought today. What's going on?"

Smoulderkit growled as he moved around in his nest "If you mousebrains are going to make small talk do it outside" he shot them a hard look then smirked slightly to let them know he wasn't being entirely a fox-heart, though he did mean what he said. He curled back into his nest and covered his nose with his fluffy tail. It was pretty cold, a lot colder than it had been back in the barn with the heaps of hay that made great big warm itchy nests. He yawned, closing his eyes and drifted off back to sleep.

Blazingkit was slightly surprised when her sister spoke up- and even more so when her brother commented as well. For some reason she hadn't expected anyone else to be in here. She realized that was silly though, soon enough. "I was just thinking of StarClan." She dipped her head and spoke lightly to Patchkit, not wanting to be rude. She'd forgotten how she used to be playfully rude to Smoulderkit, just to get on his nerves a little- but she wouldn't do that now. These two kits were still strangers to her, she wasn't entirely comfortable with making comments with them. She blinked curiously, suddenly realizing something. "If you two are so close, why don't you sleep in the same nest? It'd be warmer that way," Blazingkit didn't bother going outside. She didn't feel like going back out into the snow, nor did she want to be bossed around; however joking the bossing was. She thought that if she could get close to her siblings, and regain some of her lost memory of them, that they could all share a nest. But until then she would sleep alone. (woah dramatic last sentence sorry XD)

Patchkit rolled her eyes and tore up her nest compulsively, spreading it even farther apart. She could almost feel the mood plummeting. She honestly had no idea why; Smoulderkit was the snippiest kit she had ever had the pleasure of meeting, and most cats were used to it by now. He was being a jerk, though, and she honestly preferred being the angry one in any given situation, so she stuck her tongue out at him and said, "We weren't bothering anyone, Tubbers."

Tubbers had been Smoulderkit's old barncat name. They all tried their best to forget their old barncat names...

Blazingkit couldn't help herself- she snorted out a laugh, even though she thought Patchkit was overreacting- Blazingkit could tell their brother was joking- she looked to the dark colored tom and chortled with badly controlled laughter. Her ears perked up and she blinked suddenly, something felt familiar; so she assumed that things like this used to happen a lot before she had gotten sick and wondered away from the barn. She grinned and laughed a little more, then looked at Patchkit's work on her nest. "What are you doing to your nest? You'll have to fix that up before you can go to sleep again- but it's so late already."

"Says you," Patchkit said with the utmost confidence. She quickly licked a thin layer of moisture down her sides and back, then padded to the edge of her destroyed nest, laid down, and steamrolled across the nursery until she had collected all of the particles and formed an impenetrable moss cocoon in the back corner of the nursery.

"Goodnight, Blazingkit. Maybe you'll dream about StarClan, eh?" she called out. Then she padded over with her mobile nest and gave Smoulderkit a massive lick on the top of his head, leaving his fur stuck straight up into the air. "Goodnight, brother." And with that display, she crawled back to her corner, moss in tow, and barely laid down before falling asleep.

Blazingkit purred lightly- she thought Patchkit had a fun personalilty. The russet torbie lay down in her own nest; the moss was loose and warm, there wasn't a breeze hitting her, so she wasn't cold. "Goodnight you two." She mumbled lightly before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

(I guess the next post should be of us waking up?)

Patchkit's eyes suddenly blinked open - she had always been a light sleeper. She groaned imperceptibly and muttered, "Good morning," to herself. Taking a quick stock of the light, she realized that it was early morning, as chilly orange light was streaming through the entrance and shimmering quietly on the rocks. Despite the early hour, she was ready to go out and do something. Quietly, trying her darnedest to not disturb Smoulderkit, she untangled herself from the blanket of moss she was trapped in and stalked over to where Blazingkit was snoozing. She prodded Blazingkit's fur and let out a muted mew, whispering, "Hey sis. Heeeeey. Wanna go explore the camp?" After her message, Patchkit looked back excitedly between Blazingkit and Smoulderkit, worried that she may have woken him up as well.

Smoulderkit flicked an ear in his sisters direction. He'd been waiting for her to get up. He was bored and needed something fun to do. He really wanted to explore the camp clearing a bit more but he felt that if he did it alone, he would get in trouble. Now was his chance. He opened an eye and watched as Patchkit sneakily padded over to Blazingkit. He tried to not feel offended that she went for her and not him. He smirked and mewed "Good morning. Going somewhere?". He twitched his whiskers and stood, stretching, ready to begin the day.

Blazingkit blinked her green eyes open slowly. She was laying on her side, with her paws over her face, when her sister woke her. Not being a particularly heavy sleeper either, it only took a few prods and the sound of Patchkit's voice to wake her. She yawned quickly and lightly, sitting up without stretching. She looked at Patchkit and blinked once or twice more to ensure she woke up all of the way. She was about to reply to Patchkit when Smoulderkit spoke up, "Good morning," She spoke with a semi-whispering, semi-clear voice; still waking up yet knowing she would not have to whisper too low. There were others in the Nursery, yes, but they weren't too close, and she didn't think she would wake them up. "Let's go, then." Patchkit's excitement rubbed off on Blazingkit as she stood up. "The warriors are bound to be out by now, they always get up earlier than anyone else. But I'd rather they didn't show us around or try to escort us- I bet you guys want to explore without any grown-ups, right?" Her whiskers twitched even more as she looked from her brother and sister.

Patchkit had been shocked into stillness during Blazingkit's greeting at Smoulderkit's sudden outburst; her whiskers twitched in simultaneous amusement and annoyance. She fondly meowled, "Don't scare me like that, Smoulderkit! And also, good morning, to both of you." She finally stretched the kinks out of her neck, and whispered excitedly, "Yes, no Warrior guides. Let's go! C'mon!" Patchkit began inching her way over to the Nursery entrance and poked her head out.

Smoulderkit grinned widely "We don't need warriors to explore". He followed closely behind Patchkit and looked outside of the nursery as well. He brushed up against Patchkit and bounded out of the nursery walls right after saying "Whoever gets seen first by a warrior is moon-old crowfood~"

Blazingkit didn't know exactly how to react to her siblings' comments; she hadn't been the most social kit during her time in BoulderClan, she hadn't re-learned how to socialize much. But she grinned anyway because she loved the teasing and playing. She followed suit, coming up from behind her brother and sister, and stepped into camp.

Seedkit trudged into the nursery, parting his jaws in a tired yawn. Blinking his eyes sleepily, the cream colored tabby kitten padded over to his nest. He lied down, curling up. The tom kit shut his eyes, falling asleep almost instanly. He tucked his paws close to his body, sleeping soundly.
