(I guessed correctly!!) Crimson was speechless. Willow was his mate now and that was what mattered. He said nervously "Can I lay down? I'm so happy for you, for us, but nervous," he was proud to be a father, but nervous, but excited, but terrified.Willow smiled awkwardly, her purr becoming louder. "Crimson," she started before she licked his ear."I'm with kit," she said softly.
(Eek you said it was the right time for the thing)
Willow's tail vibrated with excitement. (The real Willow does that) "There's no need to be," she comforted, although, she was nervous herself.
Crimson lay down next to her, and realized she was still slim. Another couple months before kitting. But indeed he had noticed a change about her. She had seemed more shy and reluctant about things. And not just about her, the whole atmosphere had changed. Though he was still in the rocky desert, and it was quite devoid of color too, he smelled a change. You see, cats can sense the different seasons, and he felt another one coming along, and it wouldn't be dry much longer. At least, not in the desert. This one usually brought hope to him, but this time it brought nervous apprehension as well. The Thunderers seemed to anticipate this change as well, though they were standing asleep now, during their traveling, they had a bit of hope during their thirsty, lethal wanderings. A few of them had died from lack of water, no doubt. Thunderers seemed to drink a lot of water. But the excitement for this new season was dulled, and they felt bittersweet as much as Crimson.
"That you did!" Claw said happily as he stared up at her. A mischievous glint entered his eyes.
Willow curled up beside Crimson. She was surprised with herself, as in the past she would've told her sister first. Maybe they were growing farther apart? Or maybe she, for once, felt closer to another cat besides her sister?
"You got me," Thorn chuckled. She bowled him over from the front.
Crimson purred softly. (Sorry about the the delay. I did write a post but it didn't post. )
"Just....," Willow started. She turned her head to look him in the eye, although slowly blinking. "Don't tell a soul. Yet, anyways... I don't want the whole Tribe treating me as if I'm a blind kit." Her light grey/blue and orange tail twitched.
"Ok," he replied Crimson. (@LittlePip21 what will you do with Cobra. Is he lost in the desert?)
(hey! Sorry we've been on the road, idk about Cobra, maybe he launches an attack on the tribe when he sees Oleander with them?)
