Pebblepaw (F) | Med Cat App | Location: Med Cat Den | Mentions: Sky Eyes

The apprentice tipped her head to the side thoughtfully, attempting to consider some potential uses for the tasty berries. Unfortunately, they likely wouldn't survive for long once picked- they'd become mush, or else rodents would sneak into the dens to steal them. She imagined that plenty kits would try to sneak into the medicine cat den to eat them as well. "We could always use them to hide bits and pieces of herbs, to encourage kits to take herbs when they're sick?" Pebblepaw finally suggested after a moment of forethought, only to pause and bow her head bashfully. "...When RainClan gets bigger and has kittens once more, that is."

She perked her ears and promptly rose to her paws to scuttle after her mentor when they moved onto greener pastures, quite literally. "Chervil helps with bellyaches, right? Like...after you eat too many blackberries?" She could faintly recall the herb from her kithood, when one of her nursery-mates had eaten too much fresh kill and needed treatment for their upset stomach.

Murtagh (M) | Rogue | Location: Forest | Mentions: Raven (indirectly)

On the contrary, the tom was actually watching the back of his eyelids- it seemed that he'd forgotten about the stranger. He ruffled his fur as he shifted into a much more comfortable position on the branch, although cautious to maintain his balance. A fall from this high up could easily maim a cat for the rest of their life, or even kill them. Considering that Murtagh was young and had plenty days ahead of him, he had no interest in falling to his death. Not today, at least, not when his morning had already been off to such a good start.

He didn't have any plans for the rest of the afternoon, outside of being a nuisance to the local RainClan patrols once more. He intended to meet their entire clan this way, humoring himself with his untimely interruptions to chat up the impatient locals. The tom did nothing wrong by merely conversing- it wasn't against their code, and he wasn't trespassing on their territory. Being a loner got lonely sometimes. It was in the name, after all. 

The pale tom nearly fell asleep, only to crack open his ice-blue visionaries out of sheer resentment when the squirrels had found and began to pester him again. If I could throw a rock, I'd do it right now.

Shadeheart || Warrior || Tag: Hopestar, Tansyvine

He watched as Tansyvine left to go search for Sootpaw to join them on patrol, his tail flicking a couple of times before he glanced towards Hopestar and then towards Half-Face and Flamepaw for a brief moment. Speaking of hunting... His stomach growled. He tilted his head down and towards his side a little, giving his stomach a small look as if in hopes that it would settle down. Perhaps he could snag a quick bite to eat before heading out, but the sooner they left on patrol the better. After all, maybe they could find something to eat along the way when they actually headed out.

Mentions: Pebblepaw

"That's very true! Well done, Pebblepaw." he replied proudly, "You'll have to remind me once Dawnheart kits."

He glanced her way warmly, wanting to show her how impressed he was.

"Yes, chervil root soothes bellyaches. It can also help with kitting, and the leaves can help cure infection. It's a very helpful plant." he explained patiently, enjoying the chance to share all of his knowledge with another. Let alone someone so eager to take it all in. When he had first learned Pebblepaw wished to become a medicine cat, he'd been apprehensive at best. A tiny squeaking youngster following him around all the time, asking him every question under the sun? It didn't sound ideal to him at all.

Though when he'd begun training Pebblepaw, his expectations were flipped. She was admittedly a bit high-pitched in tone, and she had plenty of questions. But he loved to talk about herbs and all of their uses, to be able to boast a bit about healing his clanmates, and to share his daily tasks with someone.

Mentions: Murtagh (indirect)

Waiting patiently for any signs of an ambush and finding none, Raven relaxed. I wonder how quietly I can climb... She stepped closer towards the tree, eyeing up the trunk for a moment. She crouched and wriggled her haunches, waiting,  estimating, and finally launching herself a good tail-length up the base of the towering plant. She teetered for a moment, getting a better grasp of the rough bark, before shimmying up as quietly as she could. It was a slow pace, the young cat having less experience climbing trees than climbing two-leg barriers.

Pebblepaw (F) | Med Cat App | Location: Med Cat Den | Mentions: Sky Eyes

The dainty feline purred at the praise of her mentor. She had nearly forgotten that they had a queen in the nursery, and couldn't help but to feel excited. For so long, she had been one of the youngest of the clan. She'd finally get to be older than another and stand as a role model for them. That being said, she wouldn't hesitate to join in any games. 

"How did cats discover the use of herbs at first? Did they just...experiment on their clanmates?" Pebblepaw asked her mentor curiously after he explained the usage of Chervil. She was cautious to ask about medicinal discovery- she feared that cats might have died when trying unknown plants. "Did Starclan tell them what to use?"

Murtagh (M) | Rogue | Location: Forest | Mentions: Raven (indirectly)

He could feel himself fading in and out of sleep, disturbed by brief noises that existed only long enough to pull him from slumber. The pale tom's ear flickered at what sounded like claws against bark- he at first dismissed it as nothing more than pesky rodents, and convinced himself to rest a few moments longer. However, like it or not, Murtagh was a loner and he had his instincts. Something wasn't settling well with him. The silvered tom sat up abruptly.

Sootpaw {} Apprentice {} Tag: Tansyvine

Sootpaw's ears pricked when he heard the warrior's voice call his name. The dark furred tom got to his paws quickly and rushed to meet her, now starting to notice the waiting patrol. His fur hot with embarrassment as his mind started to race. " I hope she only called my name once." He thought. "It look really bad if she's been calling for me and I haven't answered.". The tom stopped in front of her, and tiled his head back so he could look up at Tansyvine." Good morning Tansyvine!" He mewed.

ooc// Edited for mistakes: Calling Tansyvine his mentor by accident.

((was waiting for Flamepaw's person to reply so i can do multiple at once but imma post 1 for now since i gotta use phone atm hope thts ok))

Thistlepaw [She-cat / Warrior Apprentice]
Mentions: Tansyvine/Sootpaw

Thistlepaw exited the apprentice den last, stretching her legs and giving her fur a shake before giving it a few licks to attempt and tame it. She often didnt bother to try that hard however as it was always a but spiky and unkempt looking.

Her gaze wandered to her mentor who seemed to be talking with Sootpaw. She wanted to go speak to them but hesitated as she didn't want to be rude and interrupt as it was probably important. After a few moments of worry that maybe Tansyvine had gotten bored of training her and found a new apprentice she got to her paws and wandered over.

"Uh, Tansyvine?" She meowed, shifting a bit awkwardly on her paws. "Sorry to interrupt Sootpaw but uh, Am I suppose to be doing anything this morning?" She still sometimes wasnt sure how to act around these clan cats. A wave of dread overcame her as she wondered if maybe she should have just waited patiently but she did her best to push that feeling down.

Hopestar || Leader || Tag: Tansyvine, Shadeheart, Seeptail || Mentions: Sootpaw, Thistlepaw, Shadestep

Hopestar's green gaze floated over the cats gathered before her. "Tansyvine, Shadeheart, and Thistlepaw: you're with me for dawn patrol. Seeptail, you and Sootpaw can join Shadestep for a hunting patrol." With a wave of her tail, she lead her group towards the cavern entrance and the waterfall that veiled it from the rest of the forest. She ignored the twinge of worry at how small their clan was getting. There hasn't been a litter of kits born in moons and their number of warriors seemed to dwindle. True, they had a number of apprentices in training, but then what?

Smokey || Rogue || Tag: Cosmos

Smokey lashed his tail in annoyance. Who did this tom think he was coming up to him and demanding food? Didn't he have teeth and claws? Why couldn't he hunt for himself? Smokey bared his fangs slightly as he answered: "Smokey, but that doesn't mean I'm sharing my rabbit with you." He stepped over the rabbit protectively with hackles raised. "I don't owe you anything."

Shadeheart || Warrior || Tag: Hopestar || Mentions: Tansyvine, Sootpaw, Thistlepaw

He turned his head with his ears perked as he listened to Hopestar speak, his teal eyes trained on her during the time it took for her to speak. That was fine with him. He gave a nod and twitched his whiskers. "Sounds like a fine plan, Hopestar." He spoke up, purring as he turned his attention towards the entrance of the cavern they resided in along with the waterfall. Time to go explore the territory and see what they could find, no?

He paused for several moments before he turned his head to look towards Tansyvine with both apprentices, eyes growing a little soft as he scanned them over the trio. He could only hope that they'd live long enough to become warriors, but even if they did their clan still needed fresh life coming to keep it thriving. Not many cats had any kits as of late and...well, that seemed to be a problem for a clan going extinct. A soft sigh escaped him before he looked away and moved to catch up with his leader.

"Hey there, sweet whiskers... Do some dawn patrolling often?" He teased, throwing her a playful wink as he moved in step beside Hopestar for the time being.

Hopestar || Leader || Tag: Shadeheart || Mentions: Tansyvine, Thistlepaw

Hopestar was pulled from her thoughts when Shadeheart came up alongside her. His teasing tone was a welcome distraction from her troublesome mind. Shadeheart and her were the same age in moons, so they'd known each other as kits and been apprentices together. She knew that he was a flirtatious tom, but she didn't mind it. Whether he was serious with his flirtations, she wasn't sure.

She rolled her eyes at him a bit playfully. "Oh, all the time." Her green eyes glittered with mischief that she tried to hide from him.

Shadeheart || Warrior || Tag: Hopestar || Mentions: Tansyvine, Thistlepaw

A grin spread across his face as he gained the reaction from Hopestar, his tail curling a little as he chuckled. "My, my.... What a devious little kitty we have here." He purred, bumping his shoulder, playfully of course and not too hard, against hers. They certainly had known each other for some time as they'd practically grown up together. From kits to apprentices and even warriors to what they were now. Of course, just because she was his leader now didn't mean he'd stop teasing her or playfully flirting with her; at least unless she told him to stop that is.

His tail twitched a little before he bounded ahead a few steps before he turned and slid to a partial stop, facing Hopestar now. His eyes briefly flicked past her to see if Tansyvine and Thistlepaw were coming before he returned his attention back to his leader and friend. "If we keep going at this rate I think we'll be going on a little date." He purred with a mischievous look entering his eyes as he tilted his chin up slightly with a playful smirk crossing his face.

He raised a paw to his chest after a moment though, winking at her. "Of course, I don't think you could handle any of this. I'd end up overwhelming you with my...awesomeness." Oh Starclan, he had to keep a straight face and keep from laughing.
