6 tiny cubs, are curled up and shivering horribly, in need of warmth, cowered in a tiny hole in the ground. Their mother's golden-yellow body was very still and her expression was that of pain. She'd died while giving birth to her young cubs. The little Clawkos had no food and would die soon if no one came to adopt them. They had no idea who was their parent and what to do with their lives. {They don't trust humans right now and are the size of kittens. Their claws can't retract yet so if they scratch you IT WILL HURT BADLY.} Ichigo looked down the cubs and sighed, knowing herself alone could not possibly care for all 6. Come! Riders, dragons! Young cubs are here! Called Ichigo's lifemate, the great gold queen desperately trying to get others to come and perhaps take home a cub. COLORS Gold-Female (Luna) Black-Male (Crow) Brown-Male (Owned By J'tan) White-Female (Owned By Ruvna) White-Male (Owned By K'roi) Patch(white + gold)-Female (Felle)

(Yay, I can post now.)
The Harper, going about normal business at the weyr, had happened to run into a dragonrider whom had been in quite a hurry to get somewhere. After a few moments of scribbling on air, Felle got the man to understand his question. 'What's going on?' The man had said that his dragon had told him that the weyrwoman's queen had said that the weyrwoman had found something! This confused Felle, very much, so he tilted his head to one side. The man, not finished explaining pointed in the general direction of the meadow. "Over there." Said the dragonrider.
So before anything else could be said, Felle gave a lavish bow to the man, mouthed a thanks and dashed off in the direction pointed out to him.
Felle drew up behind the weyrwoman. He tapped her lightly on the shoulder and bowed deeply to her. He noticed the clawko cubs in the hollow in the ground. He chewed his lower lip nervously.

Ichigo turned to Felle and waved, glad to see him ."Well, at least someone came.I found these cubs... I think they can be tamed." She said, pointing them out.

Again, K'roi blamed his soft hearted love of animals on his raising, but then, it wasn't all that bad, as it had been pointed out to him. So, when Gareth relayed the message of the finding of the cubs by the queen rider, he rose to, and vaulted to the bronze's waiting back. ~One of these days, you'll regret having all of these creatures under your care.~ The bronze sent him with a wry tone to his thoughts. ~I'm sure that started the day I met you.~ His rider sent back. Even as he said it though, Sakki winked out of between just next to him, chittering that she wanted to go too. The little blue flitt latched onto his riding leathers before they all winked between. Reappearing overhead, Gareth landed some distance from where the gold and her rider were, simply for their personal consideration. K'roi slid from the bronze's back, and walked at a sedated pace towards the two of them, pausing to give them both a single bow. Sakki chitered quietly from where she'd curled around his shoulders. "Greetings Weyrwoman Ichigo, Harper Felle." A smile crossed his lips. "A passing flitt told me that a litter of cubs was found."

Ichigo nodde,d smiling at the bronze rider. "Hello Bronze Rider, K'roi. Yes, the little cubs will die soon if they are not taken under someone's care."
One of the two white cubs, no doubt male, stirred and lifted his head, ears perked and eyes watchful. He mewed loudly and struggled to get away from his brothers and sisters, staring at the 3 humans with his closed eyes. "Mreow!" The cub meowed, despratly wanting to find his family now "Meow!"
"I think he's hungry." Ichigo said quietly "Since they don't really impress, I think, you can just pick one up and see how it feels about you."

Seeing as he'd never before raised a feline, much less held or gotten near enough to one to touch it, he moved slowly, so as to not startle the little creature, using what he knew of other beasts to back him. Crouching down, Sakki's eyes swirled brightly, but she was silent as the bronzerider reached down to gently pick up the little white cub, and cradle him in his hands, close enough to his body to give that sense of security, and not have the little feline feel like he was about to be dropped.

The white cub was surprisngly calm, not wanting to struggle or fight back. The tired, scared cub sniffed K'roi, the first smell besides that of his sibilings that calm from another living creature. In mere second,s the cub came to believe K'roi was his parent, falling soundly asleep in his arms.
Wow. That one seemed..Calm. Ichigo thought to her Ikynath. Yes. They'd better have a good reason to be in our Weyr though.[/color] Judging by the size of the mother, they might be good gaurds...

Felle smiled to K'roi. Then looked at the clawko cubs, nodding a stray hair from his eyes. He idly rubbed a long scar on the back of his hand. It was a few moments before he noticed that he was staring, his eyes boring into the cubs. He blinked and looked at his shoulder rather sheepishly.

Now who should come at their senior Weyrwomans call but the troublesome three: Taylun with green Anuth in tow, J'tan with brown Memoroth in the lead, and the candidate harper crow. "Greetings Weyrwoman Ichigo," J'tan said with a decrative bow with the two others following suit. "Memoroth informs me you need assistant of some sort.

A soft smile crossed his face, and his mismatched eyes glittered as the small white feline cub fell asleep in his arms. "Well...they certainly don't waste any time..." The bronzerider murmured to no one in particular, and stood slowly so as to not wake the slumbering kit. Moving a few steps off, he met Gareth, and stopped there to lean against the bronze's large shoulder, and watch the remaining cubs, as well as the others who had come at the queen's call. ~I don't know why you are taking it.~ The bronze sent, moving his large head to look down on the little cub with swirling eyes. ~We've hunted his kind before, the ones that decide to roam too close to the settlements. Will you still be able to do the same after raising him?~ Gareth had put forth a good point, and his bonded was put to thought for a moment. ~I guess there will be a separation between this little one and his own kind. And yes, I will still be able to hunt down the other felines. Once he's grown, it will be like comparing you to the watchwher.~ K'roi sent back, moving a hand so he could run a finger down the little cub's curled spine. The cub had a quite long tail, fully as long as his body already, and it was currently curled about his sleeping form. The bronzerider put his mind now to thinking up a name for his newly aquired cub. There was deffinitly going to be more care taken with this little one's raising than a flitt or even his whersports. For starters, he would have to be very careful in how the little beast was treated during his early years, and K'roi guessed that it would be much like acclimating a dragon to life, except on a simpler level.

Ruvna came running, Tuil in tow as the feline kit bounded along behind the Jr. Weyrwoman.

The cubs were slowly coming to senses, making their way towards the humans who had come to visit.
A female white cub crawled away from her sibilings and stared at the humans with her closed eyes, smelling their scents. Was one of these humans her mother? "Meow!" She cried out, running to Ruvna and brushing against her legs, sheviering as a swift breeze ruffled her snow white fur.
The brown cub, his fur a chocolate color and eyes close to opening, also moved forward, sniffing the air and following his nose to J'tan, touching the Weyrling's leg with his nose and meowing loudly, close to straving. He needed warm milk!
"Since their felines, they'll need some warm milk. You should hurry to the kitchen and get them some." Suggested Ichigo "Thanks for much for coming, J'tan."

Ruvna picked up the small cub and cradled it in her arms. Tuil meowed for him to see this other feline, and Ruvna gently let him see it, before turing to hurry to the kitchens.

Figuring that it would be best to get the cub out of the elements, K'roi began the walk to the weyr, Gareth launching off to keep pace above him. Sakki still watched the slumbering kit from her perch atop his shoulder, chittering in quite low tones.
