Flames padded over to Listener. "Hello! I found a fresh supply of *Whatever they call dock leaves, if its like the tribe of rushing water and they have different names for herbs*. I can collect them if you want, but have you eaten today?" He tilted his head, talking rather quickly. - Growl sat, watching his kits and purring. He would raise these kits to be the fiercest in the clan and carry on his legacy. - Spider leaped out of his home, scrambling up onto his fence before falling down into a deep puddle outside his housefolk's nest. He shook his pelt, getting droplets off before staring into the fields where the Tribe cats lived. They wouldn't mind if he crossed their territory, right? Maybe one of them would come and live with him, and he wouldn't be so lonely!

(TWAS MY PLAN ALL ALONG) (Also, yes.) Listener felt the rain on her fur begin to lesson. The rain was already beginning to settle. Soon enough within a few moons time, these kits will become To-Bes. Speaking of To-Bes, Listener had to choose her own healer replacement soon. She felt fear ripple. What was that warning about fire? She turned to Flame and nodded. ¨Thank you for the dock, Flame. You can set them in the log.¨ ____ Blackberry heard the shuffling of paws and looked around blindly. She heard the soft purring of her father. Her life was great! She had two dads and one mom! ¨Hi, daddy!¨ She meowed pleasantly.

(With the kits? Because yes, I approve 100%)
"Let's go see Listener" Briar said "Maybe she will paly with us!"

(Plot twist: What if Listener retires early because she also goes deaf or something and goes to live with Spider? Its a bit of a rushed idea but imagine how much Spider would pester her.) "Hello, my brave kit!" He purred louder, barely able to speak. "Are you excited for your to-be ceremony? You can become a camp-watcher like me, and i'll teach you all of the basics of things, like tasting the air for storms!" - Spider hesitantly began to strut near the border, leaping onto the other side. "This place is so swampy from all the rain! Nothing like the puddles i'm used to..." He sighed. He continued walking, shaking his pelt occasionally to get rid of the last few droplets in his pelt.

Listener heard the kits. She wasn´t ever that good with playing with kittens because of her blindness, but if Blackberry could play, then so could she. _____ Blackberry wriggled her hips and crashed right into her grandmother. She mewed happily. ¨Briar and I are going to be the best Field-Runners ever!¨ _____ It hit Listener´s head like a bolt. Blackberry wouldn´t be able to hunt. She´s blind, she wouldn´t be able to see where she´s going or if there´s a hole in the way. Blackberry desperately wanted to be a Field-Runner and her physique was perfect for it, but with her sight, she´d never hunt properly. She forced a smile and batted at the kits. ¨Then let´s teach you to hunt!¨

"Now don't go pressuring the kits" Shadow came up with a chuckle "Hi Dad!" Briar squeaked out happily and ran over, stumbling a bit.
"Hello Briar" he licked the top of his head with a smile.
Pebble huffed and flicked her tail "Flame" she called to the to-be "Come hunting with me"

"I haven't hunted much in my days, Little kit, but i'm sure that you could chase even the fastest rabbit and still catch it!" Growl stared at his kit, his purring growing even louder, before it suddenly stopped. "I smell a..different scent in the breeze." He thought about shrugging it off, thinking it might just be the rain mixing scents around. - Flames walked over to the group of cats. "Listener, should I go and get the Dock for you? And you still haven't answered me about if you've eaten yet. You need your strength!" He stared at Listener, even though he knew she couldn't see him back. - Spider continued walking through the territory, not bothering to hide himself or his scent in an open field. This was dangerous, especially knowing his pelt did NOT blend in at all, but he kept walking, unaware of the possible danger ahead of him.

"Yeah Blackberry and I will bring back tons of prey" Briar said, suddenly getting back into the conversation

(Nevermind about the double post lol) "Sure, Pebble! I'm glad to get out of camp. Growl, can you keep an eye on Listener? I don't want her to get sick or anything, knowing her age.." He muttered the last part to Growl, before going to follow Pebble. - Growl nodded to Flames, before going back to his purring state.

Pebble brought the other out of camp and looked around "Honestly I don't see how those two kits can become Feild-Runners...not saying anything bad but...you know..." she gestured to her back left leg and her eyes

Listener continued to blindly bat at the kit, the two blind cats playing together in harmony and sweet affection for each other. Then she turned to Pebble´s voice and was about to object, preferring Flame to search for herbs together, but then she remembered that he had already fetched them. She shrugged and realized that Blackberry was gone. Until she felt a pounce on her ragged tail. She turned around and purred. ¨Sweet Endless Hunting!¨"She gasped. ¨Your claws are thorn sharp!¨ ¨Like Blackberry thorns!¨ Blackberry commented joyfully. Then she heard the scuffling of Briar and Shadow. Then she sensed Growl´s presence. She rushed up to him and mewed, ¨I can´t wait to hear Hill´s voice again!¨ ____ Listener sat, heart breaking. Her daughter, Hill where Herbs Grow had died whilst kitting her and Growl´s kits. And it´s a terrible shame that the blindness always skips a generation. A curse from the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Then she said in a calm voice, ¨Yes, if it rains during the full moon, then all cats can hear the voices, not just me.¨ Then she turned to Flame´s direction and shook her head. ¨Whether I have eaten or not matters not, Flames. It is the Tribe that must be fed before me. I always eat last.¨

"I'm sure they'll find a way. Some cats have broken their legs, but have still managed to hunt somehow.. And for the blindness, Its kind of like hunting in the dark. You just have to use your senses and whiskers to find the prey. But, what're we gonna hunt?" - Spider continued padding around, before stopping for a brief moment. The scents that drifted across the border were much stronger inside of the territory than outside. He wrinkled his nose.

Pebble held back a snort "Well yes but we'll have to see won't we? I just don't want them to be dissapointed if they are unable too" she said, putting up the facade of a concerned tribe-mate. "WE'll hunt in the forest, see if the wetness has broguht out any mice or voles" she decided

(Alright. Also, incoming double-post.) Growl stared at Listener. "Blackberry reminds me of you and Moss every time I see her." When he mentioned Moss, his voice was sharp with grief but either than that it was full of affection. - Flame stared at Listener one more time, before padding further away from camp. "I'm gonna catch the biggest rabbit ever, for Listene----Wait, do you smell that?"
