PAFP Camp DO YOU SEE BANANA MAN - bringing kit back to camp

[Mulberryburst]

Though Mulberryburst is used to the trek from the border to camp it feels as though the journey is twice as long this time, as if the territory stretches out further than usual, as if his paws are not quite used to the journey that they had been walking for moons now, almost the whole length of his warrior-hood. Perhaps it's the silence that they move in where they had been joking before, perhaps it's the way they move along the ground instead of arboreal as before, or perhaps it's because there is a third with the two warriors now, quiet as she is carried in the jaws of the lanky scout as he carefully takes purposefully maneuvered steps to make sure the journey from the border - from the bush that she was found under - is less stressful than whatever it was that had brought her here.

It is the code and decency that had caused him to quickly decide that the small scrap of fur would be brought back to camp, but it was something more, something unspoken and not yet realized that had caused the tom to look towards his sibling as they neared camp and decided that, for some reason, he felt invested, and he was curious if Maplemouse felt it too. Head looked towards the entrance once more, ears pricked as the now-trio broke the barrier before heading carefully towards Swallowbreeze's den, gently placing the kit down before calling out for the medicine cat, tail curled over his paws and over the kit's to keep her safe and near him while they waited.

[Maplemouse Maplemouse]

There was a sort of weight on the shoulders of the littermates, Maplemouse glancing over to their brother every so often, checking on the scrap of fur the two found. A kitten, an innocent little thing left in the middle of the wilds, she had been distraught, and her tears had latched claws into their chest. The mink wasn't very good with the youngest of the clan, but that couldn't mean they didn't find their heart sorrowful for the tiny thing.

A moment, before they stepped into camp, the siblings exchanged a look; they would have to check with the other, but Maplemouse had grown somewhat attached to the sorrowful little beast. At the very least, they would want the best for them within the clan. Once already in recent memory had a kitten wandered into camp, alone and in desperate need of treatment. Everyone hoped the little thing would be okay in the end. But this was different; they had saved this poor little thing from a dangerous fate. Managing to soothe her for just a moment at least, they wanted to protect the kitten in whatever way they could as she grew and got stronger.

They made it into the camp, a peculiar sensation of being watched, of their clanmates confused about another kitten found. But the pair's priority was the kitten's well-being. Maple trusted Swallowbreeze implicitly, a smart young molly, adept with her herbs and a kind heart. Mullberryburst was the one to call for the medicine cat. Maplemouse simply sat close, watching with worry for the new addition to the clan. "Miss Swallowbreeze will make sure you're in right shape, little sprout." They purred, gently, the nickname sticking, at least for the moment. She didn't seem too keen to talk, so they weren't so sure what her name was, if she had been given one at.

[Peonykit]

This journey seemed short for the poor kitten, maybe because her mind had blocked it out, or maybe because she had fallen asleep - she didn't know. The two warriors that had found her took her, further away from where mama was, further away from the only thing she knew. That was enough to keep her silent. The trauma of the situation had her tongue - there was too much. There were others there, too. Where had they gone off to? She wasn't sure - maybe to find mama? They'd bring her back here, too, she'd hope. Once again, her mind fell silent, eyes staring at the ground. Not long before the two siblings pushed into camp and attempted to comfort. What was this place? She didn't know. She didn't care. Was this safety or more danger? Oh well. Whatever would come of it, she would accept. Her eyes glance up to Maplemouse, blinking slowly at the nickname the other gave her. Little Sprout. That... wasn't her name? Maybe it was.

[Hawkstar]

LEADER OF SKYCLAN

.

Another kit. Hawkstar's nose twitches at the sight - a little ball of fur between Mulberryburst and Maplemouse, shivering and quivering in only the way a young child could without seeming pathetic. Small, no doubt scared, and blinking owlishly at Maplemouse, Hawkstar can't help but feel that old maternalism stir in her gut for the little thing.

Her tail flicks a curt greeting to her warriors as she approaches, soft electric blue surveying the new kit that would be decorating the nursery shortly. "Any obvious bumps or bruises?" she raises a brow towards Mulberryburst, and her ear rotates to catch the thin words they might provide. Nothing worse than to find a sickly, wounded kit, just for the thing to be thrown to Starlingtrail and Chrysalisgaze's hyperactive brood.

BRIGHTNOSE ──

skyclan | warrior

​

Brightnose is not far from Hawkstar in approaching the two warriors, peering around her leader to get a look at the kit. Cautiously, she takes a couple steps closer, her gaze softening as she crouches down so as not to intimidate the poor thing; She looks so scared.
"Hello there, little one," she mews quietly. "Welcome to SkyClan. You'll be safe here, okay? We will protect you." A frown threatens to form on her face, but she resists the urge as she looks back up at the two warriors that had brought the kit here. "She doesn't look injured, but did you find any traces of predators or the like?" Brightnose hopes the answer is a no - the last thing the Clan needs on top of everything else is to have to deal with a fox or something that decided to make its den somewhere in the territory. Regardless, something had clearly scared the kitten, whether it had been a hostile creature or simply the fact that she'd seemingly been all alone in the forest... Brightnose has never been great with kits, but young cats who were dealing with grief over a family member (she assumes this is the case, seeing as her Clanmates had brought only the lone kit to camp) always pulls at her heartstrings simply because she saw herself in them. She hopes for this kitten's sake that she hadn't seen anything too horrible.

[Maplemouse Maplemouse]

Maplemouse's posture straightened on instinct at the arrival of Hawkstar to the frey, greeting the king with a dip of its head. "From a quick glance over, nothing seems very amiss, though better to be sure." They replied, carefully, gaze flitting between Swallowbreeze and the tiny kitten. The warrior spoke again, hushed, feeling rather rude to speak in such a manner before the tiny thing. "But she won't speak, not a word, something has clearly frightened her."

The warrior was nothing of the sort of a caretaker, but even so, it felt rather defensive as more cats filtered closer, relaxing slightly as it realised it was Brightnose. She parroted much of Hawkstar's words, but the mention of any predators did make the mink take pause. Their expression faltered slightly, looking back to Mulberryburst. "Well, I'm not the best of trackers, but where we found her, and even now sunk into her pelt, the fear-scent was muddled with something... Foul." They muttered, grimacing a little as their good eye landed on the kitten once more.

"Something has had to have happened, her demeanour, exhaustion and that undeniable scent." They didn't dare to utter it, but any warrior knew how blood and death smelled like sunk into fur; it didn't need to be spoken, not in front of the little sprout. "Whatever it was, it wasn't where we found her. I do think she must have run from whatever occurred." They spoke about the obvious, but they knew Hawkstar and Brightnose were smart enough mollys to draw their conclusions; they could discuss the scene away from the kitten. Though they hoped the tiny thing could utter just a few words, it felt nearing cruel to speak of her as nothing but 'the kitten'; she deserved more than that.
