Maybe if I open my eyes, Crescentshine will let me go outside, he thought, and he blinked open his eyes, seeing his mother's gray fur for the first time.

Batkit was the last to open his eyes, which were an icy, cloudy blue. They looked different than the other kits', but Crescentshine didn't notice this just yet. Even with his eyes open, Batkit saw no more than he did when they were closed.
"Batkit!" Hornetkit mewed happily. "You opened your eyes too!"
"…I did?" The words felt strange on Batkit's tongue, and they weren't quite intelligible to Crescentshine yet. Only to his littermates.
Sparrowkit stretched her stubby legs out, accidentally kicking Hornetkit. “Sorry!” she meowed to her littermate.
"It's ok," he reassured her. "Cr-Crescentshine! Look! I opened my eyes!"
Crescentshine looked down at her kits. "Wow, look at you guys!" She purred, nuzzling their heads. "Got your eyes open already, haven't you?" She glanced down at Batkit, who was looking up in the the direction he heard her voice from, but sort of seeing past her. She cocked her head slightly to the side in concern.
"Can we go outside?" Hornetkit begged. "Please?"
"Maybe soon, little loves…" She looked down at them fondly. "You're a bit too small right now. Maybe once you start walking." Batkit's ears swiveled around and flicked at every little noise.
"Awww, but I want to meet the other cats!" He whined, trying shakily to stand up but falling back down onto his belly.
"Soon. I'm sure some will come to visit before then anyhow." She licked his head comfortingly.
As if on cue, Eaglestar squeezed into the nursery entrance, eyes warm. "You've opened your eyes already! I'm so proud of you."
Crescentshine purred upon seeing her mate, and Batkit seemed startled. He looked around for his father, but couldn't see him. (He's blind btw if I haven't made that clear)
((yep I got it))
Eaglestar frowned. "What's wrong, Batkit?" He meowed softly, with a concerned tone of voice.
"Where are you?" He asked quietly, still trying to find the source of Eaglestar's voice. Crescentshine seemed concerned as well.
His ear flicked. "I'm… Right here.." he licked Batkit on the head and turned to Crescentshine. "Should I.. get Tawnyleaf?"
Crescentshine nodded as Batkit flinched again, surprised. "I think that would be best…"
Sparrowkit raised her head. “Mom, Dad, what’s wrong?” she asked.
"Nothing, Sparrowkit. We just… need Tawnyleaf to make sure all of you are in tip top shape!" She said, trying to keep her tone as cheerful and unalarming as possible.
Eaglestar slid back out of the nursery and headed across the clearing to Tawnyleaf's den. "Tawnyleaf," he meowed as he entered. "I need you to come check up on Batkit."
"Why, what's wrong,? Tawnyleaf's ear flicked with concern.
"Come see," he said and led her to the nursery. Tawnyleaf crouched down beside the kit, observing him. She noticed that, though he obviously heard her and smelled her, he looked past her like there was something behind her.
"Batkit, I'm going to go over there and walk a certain way. And you tell me which way I went , okay?" She meowed softly.
"Okay." Batkit didn't watch her go, but his ears swiveled to pick up every one of her pawsteps. "You went left." He said simply. It was the correct answer, but he still couldn't see her. Only hear and smell her.
"Okay," she said. "Now I want you to look at the sky outside. Are there any clouds?" She prompted.
Batkit turned his head to what he figured was the sky based on how the air was flowing, seeing nothing, of course. "Um… no, I don't think so."
She glanced at the blue sky, which was full of puffy clouds, then she looked back into the nursery and flicked her tail for Crescentshine to follow her outside.
