{$title} This is set a few days after Briar and Wish joined Skyclan.
made of stardust and magical things
Much has changed in the past few days. She's still too young to fully grasp what exactly has happened. She only knows that she is in a new place full of new cats. Her big brother Briar is here with her too, but her other big sibling and her parents aren't here with them. She doesn't know why they aren't here or where they have gone. She only has noticed their absence. She also doesn't know why Briar has brought her here. She doesn't think it's a bad place, it's just new and unfamiliar. She stretches a little and yawns as she wakes up from a nap. She blinks as she opens her eyes for the first time, both with the same colour all kittens have. Her vision is a little blurry, but she can see at last. She makes a surprised "Mrrrp?" The world is bright and seeing it came unexpected to her.

Chestnutpaw was way too big to hang around the nursery, clearly she wasn't a baby and neither were her sisters so she didn't need to be here. Apart from visiting Milkheart, which is what she was clearly doing now! No lingering sense of nostalgia or that wish for things to be simple again when being an apprentice felt too intimidating. Nope! Not at all! Definitely the last thing on her mind as she marches into the den, ready to launch herself at her father in a dramatic fit to pester him. Not watching where she's going she nearly marches right into the nest where the two latest kittens were resting. Skidding to a halt and then turning her nose up to the air to make the approach appear effortless with a huff. Glancing down at the kit to give some snippy remark only to blink in surprise, had her eyes always been open or was she imagining things? Either way she stares down at kitten blues with a faux eyebrow raised. Huffing as she blows the fluff of her fringe out of her eyes. "You're sleeping the day away y'know" it's spoken haughtily, though soft enough to not have any real bite to it.

Snapping her head up she squints with an attempt to spot one of the nearby queens. Raising a paw to brush the fur out of her eyes and glancing down at the kit once more. "Hey, I think Wishkit is awake" there's a prolonged pause. "Annnd seeing I guess? Is she meant to do that now?" Despite her parents affinity for raising kits she can't personally say she's kept much of an eye on them. Not developmental wise anyways, only paying attention to her nursery denmates at the time when she wanted to lead a game with her sisters as kits.

Snowveil turned her head with a soft, knowing sigh as familiar pawsteps approached. She recognized Chestnutpaw instantly, her gait was as distinct to her as any voice. But Creampaw and Swirlpaw were absent. " What is it, young one? " she hummed, her tone calm but curious. When Chestnutpaw spoke, telling her that Wishkit was awake… and had opened her eyes, a soft purr rumbled in Snowveil's chest. She stepped forward, her whiskers twitching eagerly, a fond smile curving across her face.

" Is she now? " she murmured, amusement and tenderness dancing in her voice. " Her first baby-blues sight into the world, huh? " A quiet warmth bloomed in her chest, tinged with the ache of memory. Once, she too had seen the wide-eyed wonder of a kit's first gaze, the soft light in their eyes, the way they drank in the world like it was all starlight and dreams. Now, she could only remember those sights. Echoes of the past, fading slowly. But still, they lived in her heart.

" Hello, little leaf. " she cooed softly, tilting her head as she padded toward the kit's scent. " Ready to explore the world now, are you? " There was a rare gentleness in her voice, one she saved only for the youngest, for those just stepping into the world with unsteady paws and boundless hearts.

DUSKPOOL
Havin' came by to see Cinder and Almond, Duskpool swiveled a heavy helm in Wishkit's direction, expression growin' soft. "Looks like she'll be up and at 'em in no time." He mused softly, wooly plumage sweepin' the ground lazily. "Pretty soon she'll be an apprentice."

They grew up faster than he could say slow down. One moment they're smaller than his paw, and the next they're runnin' around eatin' bugs and gettin' into mischief. It made him frown, wooly locks hidin' the downturn of his lips. Most days Duskpool wished they could stay small forever. Nothin' but a bunch of innocent hearts not yet stained by this world's misery, and selfishly, the old fool wanted to keep it that way. But he knew eventually they'd have to fly the nest and go about their own path.

"Cute thing, she is." He rasped softly, keepin' his distance, not wantin' to overwhelm the poor thing after just openin' her eyes. "Reckon her brother might want to know." He mused, head tilted toward the nursery's entrance, wonderin' where Briarpaw was up to—likely with his mentor, but the older kid had been determined to find a safe place for the little one.

Just a short while ago, Milkheart had gone hunting, he had decided to try his paw at getting more than he usually would— not an uncommon decision given how seriously he took his duty but it had increased in frequency as of late. Subtly, too. He hadn't seemed to notice he was doing that, and he probably wouldn't be sure why if he did notice. Maybe it was the stress of recent events, or that after having his own kits and seeing them grow he took it upon himself to do far more than was expected of him, it could be anything really. The fact of the matter was, he took his duty far more seriously— it was a wonder if such a feat was even possible, but there he was, doing just that.

In any case, he would shortly return, taking some of his haul to the greater freshkill pile but the majority to the nursery. Upon his arrival he would see Duskpool pretty much immediately given the older tom's size, then just beyond him alongside the residents of the nursery such as Snowveil was one of Milkhearts daughters; Chestnutpaw. Had he heard right?! Had Wishkit opened her eyes!? "Hmm!?" He mewed curiously as he stored the gathered freshkill away as quickly as possible and trotted over to his daughter. "Oh..!" Milkheart gave Wishkit a warm and welcoming smile. "Hello there, Wishkit~!" He purred softly. There was no way he could possibly get tired of seeing this sight, the first time a kitten opened their eyes. Looking over to Chestnutpaw, Milkheart gently brushed his nose against her head. "I remember clear as day when I saw this blue in the eyes of you and your sisters." He was sure nothing would ever compare to that moment... Because he wasn't alone to see it either. Duchess had seen it too, though Milkheart felt the weight of guilt that she could not see the colours the eyes of their girls became. "It's like magic."

Speaking of, there was another newer clanmate that should be here to see this; Briar! "Good point, Duskpool. Where is her brother? Hang on." Milkheart backed up and moved towards the entrance, calling for those closeby. "Could someone go and find Briar for me really quick? His sister has opened her eyes, he should come see her immediately!"


I tell you what— you better not be bringing bad vibes,
