Territory RC a shoal of little hearts // trout, piranha, otter

[Wavesong]

And that's why we share all we have with you
Though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing
There's a lot to go around

.

Wavesong knew she couldn't take all her kits at once anymore, not without another pair of eyes to help. And though it warmed her heart to have her friends and clanmates keep watch over her brood, she missed the feeling of their eyes... Her eyes and Adder's.... Them being enough to keep the little ones safe. Now it was only her, and whoever she trusted to help. A wound that gnawed at her still, a guilt she carried without fully understanding why she bore it. So yes, she had left camp with three of her kits today. She was allowed this, wasn't she? They were her kits, her heart. And she had promised them a little adventure beyond the nursery walls, a promise she intended to keep. The other three would get their turn tomorrow, if the weather was kind. Lately, it was fickle, and she'd learned to keep an eye on the clouds, the way the wind shifted.

" C'mon, ye wee guppies, don't lose sight o' yer ma now! " she called over her shoulder, voice warm but firm as her tail flicked for them to follow. " I plan t'take ye all back home safe as minnows in a net, or I'll be hearin' scoldin' from here t'the Twolegplace. " She winked at them, though her eyes lingered a heartbeat longer on Troutkit, the one who looked most like his father. It was a bittersweet ache, a reminder of the tom who still held her heart, even from afar. Troutkit, Otterkit, Piranhakit… Strawberrykit, Salmonkit, Foamkit. Her little shoal. Her whole world.

" Ye can explore t'yer heart's content. " she went on, tone playful but edged with care. " But if yer ma calls, ye best listen, or ye'll be goin' home hangin' from m'muzzle like a caught fish. " Her tail swept out in a light arc, ears pricked to the sound of their paws. " An' if th'rain turns worse, ye rush back to me straight away, don't ye stray further'n needed. Always stay in m'sight. " Her eyes softened, her voice dipping low. " An' if ye get tired… tell me, guppies. It's no shame t'be tired. "

TROUTKIT

The world outside the nursery was bigger than he ever imagined. The grass towered over his head, stretching up into a marbled sky. Troutkit puffed out his chest as he stumbled after the swaying plumes of his mother's tail, which danced freely in the breeze. The air was cool and sharp in his lungs, a cough rumbling deep in his chest. He kept his muzzle clamped tight, trying his best to hold it in.

"Ain't tired." He panted, brows knitting stubbornly as he tried to keep pace with his siblings.

After a while, breathing got hard, and his paws dragged. Troutkit clenched his jaw, nostrils flaring as he quietly caught his breath. They'd only just gotten outside—he wasn't about to be the one to ruin it for them. His gaze lifted toward his mother, amber eyes turning soft and sheepish. "You're not gonna 'splore too, mama?" He asked, shuffling his paws against the soft dirt. Now that they were actually there, he didn't know what to do. Troutkit had never been outside before. Besides, he didn't wanna go if it meant she was gonna stay there by herself!

Scurrying along behind Wavesong, one of her 'guppies' was right on her tail! "Okay! Raaah!!" Piranhakit, ever the ball of fun, had no issues whatsoever in regards to going along with his mother. At present, it was her rules over any other rules- not that he disliked rules, he was just a little guy that didn't completely understand them.

He moved with such bombastic energy that it was a wonder he didn't faceplant repeatedly. "Everything will be good! If anything bad shows up I'll bite it!! Grrrr​r​rrr​rr​rah!!" Piranhakit boldly declared gnashing at the air, as he often does. "So don't worry everyone. Mama always keeps her promises and never ever lies." He smiled with big baby eyes wide open looking up to his mother, his guiding star, his role model. He wanted to be just as strong as her!

Listening intently to Wavesongs rules, Piranhakit almost couldn't contain his excitement as he wiggled on the spot waiting for his siblings. Piranhakit was more than ready for some adventure! The question was... What to go for first?

What makes me happy, fills me up with glee—
Those bones in my jaw, don't have a flaw, my shiny teeth and me~!

DINGO

Otterkit had thought the camp alone had been massive! But now that they were out in RiverClan territory free of the camp as a whole? She couldn't believe the world could be so big! And they just get to explore it all now? She'd blink up at Wavesong as she playfully encouraged them to explore but to come when called. Otterkit didn't want to be picked up like a little caught fish! So she best listen to mama! She nodded vigorously to show she understood and wouldn't break their mama's rules. "Yes Mama! We promise!" The chocolate smoke would waddle out a little further through the grass but kept looking back every couple pawsteps to make sure Wavesong was still in sight, her little tail sticking straight upright like a twig.

Otter would try and give Trout an encouraging nudge on the shoulder when her brother said he wasn't tired, wherever they explored today they'd go together! Piranha was as bitey as ever too and she'd let out a little huff when he proclaimed he'd bite anything bad that showed up. Piranha would bite anything and everything all the time! Honestly sometimes she wasn't so sure he thought about doing anything other than biting.

"Hey Mama?" She'd pause in her steps, looking up at Wavesong with large rounded eyes. Her little whiskers quivering with excitement for the adventure that awaited ahead "Can we see the river?"

Oh, won't you come with me, where the ocean meets the sky

Wavesong watched her little guppies with a fond, lingering smile, her eyes soft as sunlight glinting on the river's surface. Her gaze drifted to Troutkit, her sweet, determined little fighter and her heart gave a gentle ache. Try as he might, she could still see the weariness weighing on his small frame. She knew that by the time they returned to camp, she would be carrying him back in her jaws or across her shoulders. And she was fine with that. More than fine. If carrying him meant he could still feel like a normal kit for a while longer, she'd gladly do it a thousand times over.

When Troutkit glanced up at her with those bright, questioning eyes and asked if she wasn't going to explore too, Wavesong laughed, a soft, bubbling sound like the murmur of waves against the shore. " I've explored plenty o' this area already, aye. " she purred, lowering her head to gently nose his cheek. " But ye know what… I can walk 'bout with ye wee rascals an' explore a bit more. There's always somethin' new t'see if ye look hard enough. "

Her laughter deepened as Piranhakit's boundless energy was almost felt, energy that seemed to live in his paws and teeth. " Easy there, ye lil' fishbrain! " she called, shaking her head with amusement. Then Otterkit's voice piped up, and she turned to meet her child's eager gaze, warmth flooding her. " Ye know what... " she said softly, her voice taking on that melodic tone her kits always quieted for. " Ye lil' shells stay close t'me, an' I'll show ye the river. " Her eyes shimmered with a glint of pride as she rasped her tongue over Otterkit's head, the soft hum of her purr filling the air like a lullaby.

" An' if any o' ye guppies need a mama boost... " she added, beginning to pad forward, her tail swaying behind her in an easy rhythm. " Ye jus' tell me, aye? Yer mama's still strong enough t'carry ye fer a lil' while yet. "
