“Minnowfur! I can’t breathe!” Gladekit wailed. Her father ran a soothing paw along her back.

“You can breathe,” he assured her. “It’s just a runny nose is all. Open your mouth.”

Gladekit did as told, emitting dramatic breaths.

Minnowfur held back a purr as he searched for the right herbs. He found them and set them by her paws. “Swallow these, little one.”

Gladekit stuck her tongue out. “They’re gross!” 

“It’ll make your nose better,” Minnowfur promised. That was enough to get Gladekit to lap them up, though hesitantly and only after a few more seconds of eyeing them suspiciously. 

Dovewave poked his head into the den. “How’s the little one?” he asked. Flintkit was with him, and he bounded into the den and stopped at Gladekit’s side. “Gladekit! Gladekit! Let’s play leader and deputy!”

Gladekit smiled, gross herbs forgotten. “Can I be leader?”

Flintkit frowned. 

Gladekit glared at him. “You’re always leader!”

“Because I’m older!”

“How do you know?”

“I was named first!”

Minnowfur shook his head. “How do they manage to fight, even when sick?”

=====================

--Writing a short story for each moon is new to me so it may seem a bit sloppy sometimes. Plus not every moon is important, so the end might not seem so cliffhangy.

--Prompts:

----Flintkit wanted to play leader and deputy until Gladekit wanted to be leader, then brought up being older.

----Gladekit has a runny nose.
