Kyra: *curls around her two newborns and purrs*

Saffron: *inches closely to Kyra curiously and makes questioning mewling noise quietly*

Kyra: *ears flick back and tail twitches but tolerates the collared cat's presence* Don't touch, but you can look

Saffron: *cranes her neck over Kyra's protective huddle to peek at newborns curiously with wide eyes, never seen newborns before* they are so... tiny

Kyra: They are very small, they're my first. *relaxes just slightly but still won't let anyone but Cobalt touch*

Saffron: Ooooh... your first litter? *peers at them excitedly and inches closer to have a closer look but is being careful not to make any contact with them* They are so squirmy.. but so cute. *is in complete awe about it*

Kyra: yes *ears go back again as the young female moved closer, trying to be nice to the collared kitten but protective too* They are very squirmy, especially when they don't want a bath! *smiles*

Saffron: *noticed the mama's ears pinning back again and she goes into submissive pose to show the mama that she doesn't mean any harm to the babies, she takes few steps back out of respect* But bath is fun! I love getting bathed by other cats.. *is confused to why newborns would protest about bath*

Kyra: *chuckles* I don't know if they don't like it, they are just wriggly little things

Saffron: *stays in hunkered position as she's not sure if she can approach them again* They are! When will they open their eyes? *ears swivels around as she is visibly dying to approach them again so she could examine them up close* How long do they stay small?

Kyra: They seem to be bigger every day, when their eyes are open properly and they're moving around without falling over you can play with them perhaps, if you're very gentle

Saffron: I think I can be very gentle! I don't like hurting anything or anybody.. it gives me this icky feeling inside. *makes a face to emphasize her point and she cranes her neck over with her eyes peering over her nose at them with her ears pointed forward* Ooooh.... so not long now? *looks up at the mama curiously*

Kyra: *yawns pointedly* When they are older *sets about cleaning them as they're trying to feed, a pretty good cue for Saffron that she should probably leave the new mother alone but Kyra being gentle doesn't want to hurt the kitten's feelings either*

Kiba: *pounces on Saffron* Tag! you're it, *races away and vanishes down an alley*

Saffron: *notes Kyra's subtle hints that she wants the cat to leave and her ears pins back against her head, feeling horrible that she's interfering in this and when she was going to open her mouth to apologize, she gets pounced!* ACK!!! *spins around and laughs while sprinting after Kiba, completely forgetting about Kyra and newborns*
