Littlestar looked at the kit calmly. His emotions swirled in him like a whirlpool and left him nearly faint. But he smiled and licked the kit's head. "Of course I can be your father if you want me to be." Then he walked away, to his nest, to think.

She nodded happily and then started chasing after a leaf, pouncing at it and giggling.

Ambertail padded around in her clearing, unable to occupy her paws. A sense of loneliness had aquired her since her sister had died and Figfire was never around. She spotted Spiderpelt playing with his kits at the edge of the kit's clearing and padded up to him. Her daughter, Coacoheart purred a greeting and giggled as she watched her kits pounce on the black cat's tail. Ambertail sat next to her and winced. "What is it Ambertail?" Coacoheart meowed. Ambertail shrugged. "Nothing just a little stiff." She grimaced. It was more the stiffness. She realized she was getting old. Coacoheart said no more on the subject but relaxed. Making Ambertail envy her supple fur and strong bones. She stood up after a while, meowing a good-bye to her Grand-kits and found a small puddle. Looking in it she saw dull fading fur and worn eyes of green. Beauty never really mattered to her, but she had never much thought about getting old. She sat by the puddle, unaware of how dejected she looked.

Lunarkit padded over to Ambertail, looking at her curiously. "You look sad. What's wrong?"

Ambertail purred as she looked at the kit."Oh nothing. Just feeling how old I am getting. Why did no one ever tell me I was starting to look so aged?" she said, amused slightly.

She giggled a bit. "Because no one has noticed! You still look young and pretty, like momma is."

Ambertail laughed and flicked her tail at the little kit. "Well aren't you smooth?" she growled. She took one last look in the puddle water and turned to Lunarkit. "Well, I'm not going to put down a compliment, so if you believe I am pretty like your momma, then I'll accept it." She stood up feeling ten times younger. "So where are your siblings Lunarkit?"

Lunarkit smiled and shrugged. "Autumnkit is off playing by herself and pouncing, and Blackkit is sleeping in the nursery."

"Huh..." she sighed, looking around. "And Spiderpelt is no where to be found? I suppose he is hunting. Well then." she looked at the little kit. Already her limbs were growing productively. She would be strong for sure. "Lunarkit, can you help me? I've run out of Juniper and Horsetail. Oh and Catmint. I need some while they are still available. Would you help me collect some?"

Ambertail purred and turned to head out of the camp. "Great, then lets go!" she trotted slowly for the little kit and emerged through the bracken first to hold it up for her. Slowly snifing, she could smell the damp chill of the air and sighed. "Leafbare is less few moons away." she picked up the pace a little, still hloding back for Lunarkit then stopped as the familiar scent of coltsfoot and juniper hit her nostrils. "Lunarkit! See that plant there? That's called coltsfoot. This will be an easy job for you; bite the stems off, not too many, take maybe 6 or so." she kept close to the kit's flank as she turned and began biting off stems of Juniper branches filled with the round berries.

Lunarkit nodded and eagerly plucked the stems, being careful not to ruing any of them. She mentally recorded what coltsfoot was.

Ambertail purred as the juniper came off easily and smiled cheerfully at Lunarkit. "Well done! You picked them at the right spot too! Where less damage can be done to the root!"

Lunarkit smiled under Ambertail's praise, still careful not to hurt them stems. Her tail was twitching from joy, and her eyes were sparkling.

Ambertail blinked at the warm sunshine, dreading that it was getting cooler. "Alright. Now to get Catmint!"
Littlestar emerged from hsi den, shivering. "Dreamshadow!" he called.
