Frozenfern and Nightdusk laid by Brownpaw on a nest in the medicine den.

Luckily for Frozenfern Brownpaw didn't tell the real reason why his front left leg was broken to Nightdusk.

He simply said that he fell and Nightdusk believed him.

Both parents were with their son before Nightdusk stood up.

"I'll go keep Lilykit company.." He said padding out of the den.

Frozenfern hesitantly turned her blue gaze to Brownpaw, who was already staring at her.

It was awkwardly silent for a few heartbeats before Frozenfern spoke.

"H-how about a story?" She suggested.

She didn't wait for Brownpaw's answer and started.

"There was once a cat called Robinwing, he was a very brave cat and loved to battle.
Everyone loved Robinwing and looked up to him, but one day another cat called Shinytalon joined his clan.
Shinytalon was also a formidable fighter and got lots of attention from his clanmates."

"Robinwing grew jealous however." She continued.

"And he challenged Shinytalon to a fight, and whoever won got to keep the affections of the clan and keep fighting for them. Whilst the other became a nobody."

Brownpaw for the first time in moons looked genuinely interested in this story, and Frozenfern couldn't hold back a small smile.

"Robinwing won that battle and Shinytalon was treated like he wasn't anything special.
So in the end Robinwing got to keep his life the way it was before as well as much more."

Frozenfern finished the story and looked over at Brownpaw who was watching her with wide amber eyes.

Frozenfern smiled at him glad that she could make her son somewhat interested in her.

To Frozenfern's utter surprise, Brownpaw gave back a small smile back.

And Frozenfern couldn't be any happier.
