Hickorykit listened in silence for most of the story, but he was sniffling and trembling by the end. He kept quiet as he curled up into a tight ball, his face buried in his small paws. "S-So… in a way… I was the one who killed her…?" He asked weakly, his voice muffled.
~ "No." Hailflight answered, curling her tail around the kit. "No no no. You didn't kill her. It's not your fault." She sighed and laid her head on her paws. "It's not anyone's fault that things turned out the way they did." She looked up at the sky, with tears in her eyes. "Bad things happen, and all we can do is move forward. We can't change the past."
(Pulling some Lion King over there, Hailflight!)
(Lmao)
"I-I guess you're right…" Hickorykit whispered. He was feeling really overwhelmed with emotion right now and he hated it. He'd always tried his best to not show much emotion, but he was really struggling to pull himself together at the moment. It was a lot for him to take in.
(Hi!)
~ Hailflight didn't know what else to do, so she just cuddled closer to Hickorykit, hoping that what she said had helped. "I love you, Kitten." She whispered, closing her eyes.
Hickorykit kept quiet, curling up tighter next to Hailflight. He clearly wasn't quite ready to talk yet. He kept his face hidden for more while he trembled and sniffled.

Gingerflake watched the kits with a smile. she remembered when she was like that. small and energetic. She was brought back when a snowball hit her muzzle, shaking away the snow on her muzzle, she looked down to see… Bluebellkit! the young molly was running away from her. the other kits following behind her in a chorus of giggles. "you won't get away that easily!" she called after them as she balled up her own small pile of snow. Gingerflake tossed the snowball and it hit Bluebellkit and the small kit fell over and into the snow. Gingerflake ran over to Bluebellkit who was stumbling up to her paws, "A-are you okay?! StarClan! i'm sorry!" a small crowd had gathered around them and Bluebellkit just sneezed and then looked up at Gingerflake, a wide smile on her face.
I'm leaving it up to chu what baby Bluebell says lol– also cliffhanger? ))
(Shouldn't it kinda always be up to me what she says though? Aha)
"I'm okay! I'm okay!" Bluebellkit shook her head a bit to get the snow off. "I'm fine. I'm gonna get you back, though!" She grinned and ran off to make a big snowball. Once she did, she rolled it back out and threw it at Gingerflake as well as she could, falling back into the snow with a soft 'oof'.
(Drawing Hickorykit on stream rn if y'all are interested :>)
