Swiftkit made another yowl, that was a little less as loud, and ran for the gate again, and started crying.

Poolpaw caught him up at the entrance to the nursery den, and groomed the troubled kit. He couldn't imagine what had caused this kit to be such an unruly mess, but he did know that it was unhappy kits who acted out this way. Losing one's mother could likely do it...
-
"is that you? Foxp-" swiftkit turned arounf and saw poolpaw. "What are you doing to my hair?"
Ooc: he doesent know what grooming is, he never had a mother.
-
ooc: It is instinctive for kittens to begin to groom themselves starting at 3 to 4 weeks, and then proceed from there to grow more skillful. :)
ic: "I'm trying to calm you down," said Poolpaw. "Sure. I can be your father."
-
Foxpaw was very upset, still over all this. She most likely already have left the nursery if the newborn kits had not came yet. She licked the four new born kits again. She just watched the event taking place. "Firepelt?" she meowed, she wanted her mate beside her, she was still very upset over what has happened, turned out to be this event.
-
Ooc:he's a little over 1 moon.
Ic: swiftkit looked suprised. "How does this calm me down?"
-
[B]"Because sometimes a parent licking a kit can comfort a kit." Foxpaw meowed, as she remembered her and Poolpaw's uncle licking her at times when she was distressed, or her mother licking Poolpaw when they were a kit he was upset.
-
"Please go away." said Swiftkit. "youve already rejected me."
-
Foxpaw got up, just left the nursery, she was too upset and distressed right now, to stay. She did make sure the four kits were asleep before she rushed out.
-
Ooc: whats up with the kit clans? Against the warrior code.
Ic: Swiftkit was very confused on how this got so messed uo
-
Poolpaw gave Swiftkit a rough nudge. "Get out of our nest area please. Go find another queen. That was mean and I'm not going to let you treat my sister like that."
-
Foxpaw, stayed out of the nursery, curled up, just let the tears fall, and whimper. She was now harsh on herself, since this whole event, what Swiftkit just said. She thought maybe the four kits don't need her, she won't be a good mother, she wasn't sure what Firepelt saw in her, or what her brother saw in her.
-
Firepelt shook his head and followed Foxpaw. Swiftkit had obviously made her feel bad, and it wasn't really fair. "Foxpaw" he mewed, standing beside her. "It's not your fault. Swiftkit shouldn't have said that." He flicked his ears. It wasn't good for Foxpaw to get so distressed. Not when she nursing kits of her own.
-
Poolpaw returned to the nest to find the four kits alone. He sniffed them, checking them over. They seemed fine. "Foxpaw? Where are you?"
-
"No,poolpaw,im sorry, its just its really gettting at me, getting rejected all my life? And i need your help." he said
-
Foxpaw, lifted her head, when she heard Firepelt's voice. She looked at him, tears still falling from her face. "Yes it is my fault. I never be a good mother..." she whimpered, she thought she heard her brother calling her. "out here, Poolpaw." she meowed, with whimp, still a bit in her voice.
-
Poolpaw went over to her. "What are you talking about? Those kits will die if you don't feed and groom them. Now I can groom them, but I can't feed them." He looked at Swiftkit. "You've done enough. Please stay away from my sister."
-
Firepelt sighed. "Foxpaw you're a great mother, and you're going to continue to be a great mother. No matter what anyone says." He flicked his tail and closed his eyes for a moment. "The kits need their mother, and me and Poolpaw can't fill that space." His tone was firm but gentle. He knew that was the only way to get Foxpaw to see sense.
-
Swiftkit walked up to foxpaw and cuddled in her legs. "I'm sorry,I just get sad because I get rejected alot., I shouldn't have said whatg I said, your the best mom I know." He said, and walked off
-
Foxpaw, looked at both, her brother and mate, before she looked at Swiftkit, but didn't say anything. She didn't watch Swiftkit walk off. She couldn't worry about another kit right now. She just looked at her mate, when he was firm and gentle. She got to her paws, and just walked back to the nursery and her nest, she laid back down letting the kits curve of her body. But she kept her head down.
"I'm sorry." she meowed softly, still a b it of tears falling but the tears were coming to a stop. She looked at her brother and mate, when she said her sorry. "I shouldn't have ran off like that. Sorry, Poolpaw and Firepelt." she meowed, closing her eyes for a bit before opening them again.
