Another Day at the BogClan Camp

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep emerged from the warriors den, blinking and narrowing her eyes to adjust to the midday sun. The late patrol last night had tired her out quicker than usual. She ruffled her pelt in the sticky, warm atmosphere of BogClan. That was pretty much the one of the only major change she had to become accustomed to when her and her brother left Loner life. That, and having so many cat's around them. Minnow sighed at the thouoght of SplashFoot and ducked back into the dark, cool den, giving her sleeping brother a sharp kick in the ribs. "Whadda want?" he grunted, rolling over and half-opening his drooping eyes. Minnow rolled her eyes.
"You should go take you apprentice out before you both become fat, lazy pigeons!" she hissed in his ear. SplashFoot just batted at his sister sleepily and rolled back over in his nest. MinnowStep sighed, but her brother kept her amused. "Honestly, if it weren't for me or FairyDance you'd never get out of your nest!" At the mention of his mate, SplashFoot's ears perked and he gradually heaved himself to his paws, taking a quick sniff at his mate's empty nest, and padded outside, shooting MinnowStep a look. She just chuckled softly and followed him out once more. SplashFoot headed straightaway for the Fresh-kill Pile and settled down on a crunchy swamp-bird.
MinnowStep stopped outside the entrance of the warrior's den and watched her brother go, before looking about camp and feeling her heart swell with pride to be apart of BogClan. She watched a couple of kits daring each other to inch closer to the resting form of WilyWolf, one of the camp grumps. They'd get their tails snapped off from his sharp tongue if they woke him, but she left the kits to their mischeif. She sniffed about her, trying to catch SaltyCreek's scent as he must've gotten up before her, but found none. maybe he was out on patrol. By the time she made her way over to the Fresh-kill Pile, SplashFoot had finished and was poking his head into the Apprentices Den for his apprentice, EternalPaw. Picking out a frog, not her favorite meal, but she'd leave the small mammals to the queens, for herself, MinnowStep made her way over to the only other warrior still eating, SodPelt. The gray warrior had been moping around camp as if in mourning of someone. But they're hadn't been any death in camp, so she kept her nose out of his buisiness. Beside's he seemed brighter today as she settled herself beside him.
"Good morning MinnowStep." he greeted her.
"Morning SodPelt. Nice day, huh?" she meowed back, taking a bite of her frog.
"Yeah. I'm supposed to lead a hunting patrol later today, want to join? It's only me and RockPrism so far."
"That sounds good. Mind if I find someone else to come along?"
SodPelt nodded, but eyed her good-naturedly.
"Would this someone happen to be a tom by the name of SaltyCreek?" he asked teasingly. MinnowStep smiled.
"Possibly. If I can find him that is. If not, I'll probably ask FairyDance or NorthFrost." SodPelt nodded as MinnowStep stood, finished with her meal. "Sounds good. I'll find you when it's time to go."
"Alright." The tan she-cat padded away, only to be called over by her brother who was standing in front of the nursery, on his way out of camp.
"Hey, have you seen EternalPaw at all today?" her gray-pelted brother asked, the sleep washed away from his eyes.
"Nope. Maybe she/he (?) went out with someone else to train because your so lazy." MinnowStep teased, poking her brother with a paw.
"Hardy har. Just keep an eye out for him/her (?)"
"Alright." MinnowStep watched her brother pad out of camp. Yep. Just another day in the BogClan camp. The tan she-cat turned to a tap one her shoulder. (Anyone. And I'm just throwing this in here to add some normality into Clan life when it's clearly not that normal. XD)

[$~Swifty~$]

(EternalPaw was killed awhile ago by rogues)

SaltyCreek smiled as MinnowStep turned toward him "Hiya Lazy! I see you decided to get up this morning" He commented good naturedly. His long white pelt from his stomach down and the tip of his tail was right now stained brown with mud, and he smelled of the bog. He'd obviously been on patrol while she'd slept. His water blue eyes turned toward where SplashFoot had disappeared "And I see you got him up as well" He added quickly smiling all the while

[_)Misty-ith(_]

((Ah, crap. Then forget about that EternalPaw bit.))

MinnowStep grinned. SaltyCreek always made her smile. "It was tough. That lump could sleep all day." she commented. She looked him over. "And I can see that you've been on patrol. Hunting or border?"

[$~Swifty~$]

(XD s'all good)

SaltyCreek chuckled at the remark on SplashFoot "I can imagine. I've been on Patrol over the rogue border. It's been patroled over alot lately, but still no sign of anyone acting up... except for the attack on the two kits a while ago" He remarked with a shrug "Why?"

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep shrugged. "I told SodPelt I'd go on a hunting patrol later and wanted to know if you would join. I wasn't going to ask if you had already gone on one. And...there's something else I wanted to tell you."

((Is it cool if she tells him she pregnant now? I'm kinda bored and have nothing better to do with her at the moment...))

[$~Swifty~$]

(Perfectly fine, I don't got anythin' better to do either)

SaltyCreek looked back up curiously his blue eyes showed curiousity, but he obviously wasn't expecting anything big. "I'll go hunting.... I suppose that means I better not wash my pelt yet... it'll just get dirty again" He decided turning his gaze toward SodPelt and waiting for MinnowStep to get on with whatever it was she was goin' to say.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep paused, biting her lip. She wasn't quite sure how SaltyCreek would react. "SaltyCreek....I love you....and I'm going to have your kits."

[$~Swifty~$]

A flash of complete surprise flashed across his face and he decided that he was glad that he'd turned around before MinnowStep had spoken. It only took him a moment to recompose himself and turn to the his mate. "That's great! When'd you find out?" He asked a wide almost childish grin across his face

[_)Misty-ith(_]

"Last night." MinnowStep meowed, relaxing and smiling. "It was late and I didn't want to wake you. I still have to tell SplashFoot, but I suppose I'll tell him later." She paused. "So you're glad?"

[$~Swifty~$]

"Of course!.... Should I not be?" SaltyCreek asked somewhat in a playful sarcastic way already knowing the answer to that. "Well I'm glad you didn't tell me last night especially if I was groggy with sleep... I probably would have had a heart attack" He decided pretty sure that that would have happened

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep purred and nuzzled her mate. "Well then, that's good." she purred, twining her tail with his. She felt so overjoyed to be having SaltyCreek's kits, but also just a tiny bit said. Minnow sighed. "My father would've loved to hear about his grandkits. My other brother would just give me grief." she laughed softly, wishing that her other family didn't have the lead a Loner life.

[~*Demon*~]

FairyDance pounced on Splashfoot "Mauahahahaha" she giggled brightly, she could fit n his shoulders, and probably barely affect his movement, she was small and really light. "Guess what mister sleepy head?" she asked.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

SplashFoot grinned and looked up at his mate, whom fit nicely on his back and he could carry.
"What, early bird?"

[~*Demon*~]

"I'm having kits!" she said excitedly "and it's all your fault." she batted his ear gently.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

SplashFoot stumbled, nearly flinging FairyDance off his back. He erupted in purrs and reached his head back to touch is mate with his nose. "That's great, hunny!" he meowed.

[$~Swifty~$]

SaltyCreek nodded quickly "Soooo... when were we going hunting?" He asked casting a glance toward where SodPelt was still sitting by the Fresh kill Pile

[~*Demon*~]

FairyDance giggled and hopped down and reached up on her back feet to lick his face. "Its totally throwing off my balance though..." she teased

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep shrugged. "Whenever SodPelt says so." She turned to look at the gray warrior who was just rising, and calling the shaggy form of RockPrism over to him. "MinnowStep!" SodPelt called.

SplashFoot chuckled. "So no more dances until they're born? What a shame."

[$~Swifty~$]

"I guess now is time to go" SaltyCreek decided walking over towards SodPelt before turning back to MinnowStep "Comin'? I expect this would be your last hunting trip correct?" He asked

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep smiled and nodded, following her mate. "Aw, are you going to be upset that I wont be able to whip your tail in hunting anymore?" she teased making her way over to SodPelt and RockPrism. RockPrism was looking off in the distance absently, while SodPelt's tail was beginning to lash.

[$~Swifty~$]

"Ha ha ha MinnowStep! I know you're going to be upset that I can't beat you up in fighting anymore" SaltyCreek retorted teasingly, picking up his pace toward SodPelt who he could tell was getting agitated waiting on the two younger warriors.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

"Let's GO." SodPelt meowed, trotting out of camp. RockPrism paused before following his adopted son out of camp.
MinnowStep just smiled and nudged SaltyCreek roughly in play.

(You want me to make a new thread for the patrol or you?)

[EmberGlow]

"Hunting trip??" a squeaky voice asked out of nowhere. "I'm coming!!"
A black-and-white furball dashed through the bigger cat's legs. The little tom kit grinned hugely. "You guys weren't going to just forget me at camp, eh?" SludgeKit said, not thinking. He just blurted out anything that was on his mind, without really meaning anything..

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MinnowStep stopped and smiled. "SludgeKit, you better go back to the Nursery. You'll have to wait until your an apprentice to hunt." she meowed rather motherly than she ever had before.

[EmberGlow]

The kit stopped walking. He raised his small little head and looked at MinnowStep with a dumbfounded expression.
Then, "Wuuuut?? No way! Never! You gotta catch me first!"
Then the little tom dashes at high-speed, through the muddiest parts of the territory, where heavier cats will have great problems passing through without slipping in the mud.
