Grayfire lay in the nursery. She lived the same day over and over, or thats how it felt. She woke, layed in the nursery, fed her kits and slept, everyday. "Maybe something will happen today" she mewed to herself. She shuffled her feet in the moss, forming a ball. She patted it between her paws, this was as much fun as she had.

The black tom leaped over the log beside the young apprentice but tripped because of his big size and toppled over, grunting as he was tangled in a mass of apprentice and dust.
"Haha! You're such a clumsy-paws, Swifty!" The young tom laughed. Swifteyes chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, I am rather a mousebrain, aren't I? If you'll excuse me, it's time for my nursery-check!" He mewed, bouncing onto his paws with his tail straight in the air.
"What kits are you going to play with this time?" The apprentice asked. Swifteyes shrugged.
"I dunno. Maybe some new ones! Or maybe I'll talk to the nest-ridden Queens. You know me, have to spread a smile or my day is wasted." He laughed over his shoulder. He trotted forward, greeting other Clanmates. Some smiled and waved their tails or greeted him verbally, others just nodded, and some completely ignored him or glared at him. Swifteyes was used to the hostility, so he didn't mind it so much. He popped his head into the nursery and smiled.
"Heeeey-lo, I thought I'd check in one the nursery-bugs today, since there are absolutely no kits frolicking in the fine weather." he meowed, smiling. Ashfire blinked sleepily.
"Oh, hello there." She yawned before drifting back into a doze. Swifteyes's whiskers raised as did his eye-whiskers.
"I beg your pardon. I probably should not have disturbed." He turned and noticed a rather bored-looking Queen that he didn't recognize or at least had seen but couldn't name.
"Why hello there! How are you this fine day?" He asked, smiling.
"My name's Swifteyes, by the way. It's nice to meet you." He purred.
OOC: He's obviously hyper right now.

Grayfire looked at the handsome tom. She stopped hitting the moss ball. "Grayfire" she mewed with a smile. "I'm bored being stuck here" she mewed. Her amber gaze studied the tom. "Nice to meet you" she mewed. ((Greyfire's in a less insane mood right now  You can rp the kits B-claw. )) |

Swifteyes smiled a little at her obvious-understatement.
"I should say you were quite ridden of enjoyment, Grayfire, or you would not have to resort to tapping a strange little ball of moss to and fro. Can I be of any company to you on this oh so boring day?" He asked, smiling. He was in one of his moods. Sometimes he was quiet, sometimes he was crazy hyper. That was just how it worked with Swifty.

Grayfire smiled. "If you want to" she mewed almost purring. He's such a handsome tom she thought but he'd never fall for a crazy cat like me. She was staring at the tom.

Swifteyes bowed as best as he could in the small space.
"It would be my pleasure, madam." He purred. He sat and curled his tail around his paws, thinking about how lonely this poor she-cat seemed to be. He'd never seen any unaccounted for toms around, so he figured her mate had left her or something.
"So, what are your kit's names?" He asked curiously.

Grayfire smiled. "This is Shadowkit" she mewed, gesturing to the black she-cat. "Wildkit" she mewed pointing to the black and white tom. "And this is Pheonixkit" she finally gestured to the calico tom.

Swifteyes smiled.
"What nice names! They'll grow up to be so strong, I can tell." He purred. He looked at her and flicked his ear, a gesture that usually meant he was curious.
"So, where do you come from? I don't think I recognize you, but that may not be as surprising..." He said, frowning a litlte.

Grayfire smiled. "Thank you" she mewed. "Well it's a long story" she mewed. Greyfire took a deep breath. She contemplated telling the whole story including her brothers. "Well" she began "when I became a warrior along with my two brothers my mother was murdered." "She was killed by her own son, my brother Wildfire" she mewed "I was completely devasted." "He had left Drippingclan at that time along with a band of traitors" she mewed "my other brother, Pheonixwraith, was the only one I had left." "He died of greencough" she mewed sadly "he was the only thing keeping me in the clan and sane." "I left Drippingclan hoping to have a better life" she mewed "but it only got worse." "I fell in love with a loner and I told him I was carrying his kits" she continued "The next morning he was gone." "I traveled for while." "Then I finally found ThunderClan" she mewed.

Phoenixkit mewled a soft, cute cry and his world began to change. He felt his sister and brother stirring, too, and wondered if they were feeling it too. Like a small, insignificant change in the wind or something odd. Suddenly, he felt his eyes flicker open. But Shadowkit's eyes had opened first, and then Wildkit's. He may have been last, but Phoenixkit drew in every color like a breath. The world's fancy greens browns, the dusky pelts of his mother and her friend. So many colors to take in it was almost overwhelming. With another soft mewl he helplessly blinked his kitten-blue eyes up at his mother. They would eventually develop into their natural color, but for now like his other two siblings, they remained that pure kitten blue.

Swifteyes looked at Grayfire and wondered at how she could have survived such ordeals. He had never felt lost on his journey, even when he watched his mother and father walk away, or his sister's murderous eyes as she leaped at him and tried to bite down on his throat. He remembered the hot feeling of her blood as he slashed them across her neck. He remembered her soft silver pelt, spotted and striped, and her crystal green eyes. She was always bitter. Always angry. They were hardly even apprentices when she had snapped. Never will I trust again. Lilacpaw had snarled. He always thought of her as his mother named her though. Lilacbloom. That would have been her warrior name. But she betrayed everyone before she even had the chance to recieve it.
"T-That's... terrible. I am so sorry. I hope you find your life better here in ThunderClan, if anything." He meowed, his eyes filled with empathy. He knew what she was feeling, somewhat. The loss, the pain, the anger. He felt it hot in his chest, come to life at the thought of his blurred and troubled past. He looked down at the kit staring up at them with curious blue eyes. But it's a new day, a new generation. Life is looking up for everyone. Swifteyes thought, a bit happier now.

Phoenixkit smiled and crawled over to Swifteyes quite quickly for his age. Then he curled up against the tom and purred softly. Shadowkit followed, and then Wildkit. Soon Swifteyes had three little kittens curled up and sleeping at his side.

Swifteyes blinked in surprise as the kits curled up around him, then smiled and purred softly.
"What sweet little things." He murmured, stooping to lick Pheonixkit gently. He couldn't help loving them. They were all so sweet. And he had plenty reason to want to love kits of any sort. He had once been judged for his parenthood, and no cat wanted to show him love... it'd been hard. He wanted to help other generations like him just by accepting them. Perhaps that made him a kit magnent. He seemed popular, anyway.

Grayfire smiled as her kits squirmed over. They were going to be bright warriors. "Looks like they like you" she mewed.

Swifteyes smiled cheerfully at Grayfire.
"And I love them! I think all cats are born with a sense of knowing what's in another's heart. Maybe we lose it, maybe we just don't realize we have it. Either way, kits seem to know. That's why I like them, i think. They're just so trusting." He purred, stroking one of the kits with his tail. He wondered what thoughts went through a kit's mind. He remembered little of his troubled kithood, so it was mostly a blur to him.

Grayfire smiled. "They always seem to know" she mewed "it's a mysterious thing." She knew what she felt, but did they. I used to think all kits were born innocent, but my brother was always different she thought.

Swifteyes smiled.
"Indeed it is. Sometimes it's all you can do to wish they'd always be that way, sweet and innocent and never changing... that they would never have to distinguish between good and evil, trust and mistrust, betrayal and loyalty..." He murmured a little sadly. Then he brushed the thought away and just grinned, trying to hide the memories, the sorrow... sometimes it was a bit much for him. It was hard to wander on his path alone, with no one to understand, no one to talk to...
"But where have my thoughts wandered off to? I am here to cheer you up! And as the day is bright, so must I bring the light!" He meowed, nodding sagely at his silly ryhme. He grinned and laughed a little at himself.

Grayfire couldn;t help but giggle. "Feelings are nice to talk about every once in awhile" she mewed. A grin spread across her maw, she hadn't been this happy or even close to it since Pheonixwraith died. She missed him but always felt him, she knew he'd come back someday.

Swifteyes looked closely at Grayfire, then nodded.
"Yeah, I guess so. But as I see it, you can either reflect on the past or try and see the future, or you can live in the present. I prefer seeing things as bright and happy. It's just... better that way. But again, probably not the happiest subject." He meowed, laughing alittle in embarrassment.
