Daisybug purred as Marigoldpaw finished the piece. "Good job!" she said, feeling her chest swell with pride already. "Let's keep going until we have enough to make your nest change out Russetpaw and Goldenstrike's." Then she turned to the tree herself and started pulling another chunk of moss. It felt good to be busy with something that wasn't constantly watching over sick cats.
Sweetie squeaked as she hit the mud, then stood up as fast as she could without slipping. "Hey, that's not fair!" she insisted, shaking out her pelt.

Quailwish got to her paws and gave her pelt a shake after she had listened to the remainder of the ceremony for the apprentices. She padded past her clanmates as she headed for the medicine den. I wonder if Cinderlight will feel a little less stressed about Russetpaw if she's got her own apprentice now? she thought, though she doubted it. Cinderlight would surely find time for him at any moment of the day. Once she saw the pelt of her apprentice on the den's floor, she sat in front of him. "How're you feeling today?" she asked. @fortunata

"Sure!" Marigoldpaw replied, feeling pretty confident this time. She used the same careful precision that she had the last time, and with at least 5 more tries, she was able to get a piece without a single splinter in it. She was tired by now, but with her accomplishments, it was worth it to her. "Would all this be enough?" she asked.

βCats play dirty. They wonβt give you a chance to catch your breath.β Meg said, swaying her tail, βLetβs try a pounce now. Youβre a bit small but you can always jump on someoneβs back though and bite the scruff.β She wondered aloud. βTry and pounce on me.β

Daisybug put her last bit off moss down, then looked at what Marigoldpaw had and purred. "Yep, this is plenty," she said, pleased with how well her apprentice had done. "Carry what you can and we'll get back to camp." With that, she took a clump of moss in her mouth and, making sure Marigoldpaw was with her, started making her way to the entrance.
Sweetie let out a huff but didn't argue. She crouched down and gathered her haunches, then with paws outreached pounced at Meg. She tried to get her arms around her neck or something to hold on, but honestly, she didn't know what she was doing.

βSince Iβm a bigger cat, I can easily roll on my back and hurt you.β Meg said as she allowed Sweetie to get a grip, βBut I wonβt do that to you, I doubt I could do much damage myself.β She was a smaller cat, she knew she could never do any serious damage in a fight. βOther cats might also try to shake you off, letβs see how strong you can hold on them?β She started to shake the younger cat off, she wondered if she was doing this right. βMaybe Rowanheart can teach me how to fight?β She smiles cheekily at the thought of him. (Meg: omg heβs so sweet Sweetie: ew boys Meg: no no heβs different! Sweetie: heβs a guy!)

((thats me at my friends that both have boyfriends))
Sweetie held on for about two seconds before she was shaken off and plopped into the mud. "Ugh!" she huffed as she stood up out of the mud. "Let me try again!" Instead of shaking the mud off, she just jumped back on Meg's back, this time getting a slightly better grip.
((sweetie: this is easy sweetie 2 seconds later: i hate this))

I just thought of Sweetie saying during her first battle after she gets buff: mom says itβs my turn on the Xbox )
Meg chuckled once more, βAlright.β She took note of the tighter grip before she tried to shake Sweetie off. She didnβt want to hit her against any trees or give serious damage but she knew she could do light bumps which she did. She against trees, thudding Sweetie against them.

Marigoldpaw nodded in reply, rolling several of the sheets up into bundles. She grabbed the one she was closest to after rolling them all, trying to balance in her mouth so she could manage it. She took heavy steps to keep herself stable with the new weight, trying her hardest to keep up with Daisybug.

I didnβt see it! Forgive meh.)
Russetpaw shook as he weakly turned to face his mentor, his eyes were barely open and the fur around his mouth was dampened with vomit, βQua-?β He was curled up tightly in his nest with prey left for him by his family, heβd eaten some of it, minus the frog Palepaw and Blackscale caught for him as even he found it gross.

@fortunata LOL no worries XD]
Quailwish sat beside her young apprentice, curling her tail around her paws as she studied him. "What's been making you get sick?" she asked. "Have you been eating rotten prey or something?" Last she knew, he had simply injured himself. She was struck with concern when she noticed he smelled of vomit and showed the evidence on his face.

Russetpaw narrowed his eyes, heβd caught the sickness just like everyone else in the den. He turned his head away and plopped it down in the nest covered in vomit bits. He wanted Daisybug or his mother. He let out a hoarse cough and mew tiredly like a kit

Quailwish lowered her eyes to the dirt, guessing that his obvious answer was having caught the sickness like the others. She had hoped it not to be true, and with his hoarseness, her heart fell even more. In his weakened state and young immunity, Quailwish had begun to think the worse. She shook her head and looked back at him. The prey in front of him was barely touched, but she left it beside him anyways. "I...Let me know if there's anything you need, or...or Daisybug, if I can do something for you..." she let out the last bit in a whisper, getting to her paws and turning around. She stopped at the entrance with one look back at him before padding outside.

Opalheart watched his saddened sister leave the medicine den as he sat beside the entrance. Her head was down and staring a the ground, her tail dragging. If his own mouth wasn't full of herbs, he'd have called out to her, but he thought that at the same time, there was probably nothing he could say to cheer her up. He glanced around camp, occasionally to the entrance to camp, waiting for Daisybug to return.

Daisybug padded into camp with Marigoldpaw and all their moss, and took notice of Quailwish leaving the medicine den. She must have been visiting Russetpaw, but it didn't seem to have gone well. Then she saw Opalheart standing at the entrance, his mouth full of herbs. Curiously, she set the moss down and turned to Marigoldpaw. "Fix up your nest and I'll help you change bedding in a moment," she said with a small nod, then looked to Opalheart. "What's this?"

Sweetie held on as tight as she could, and it was working well until Meg bumped her against a tree. She squeaked again, not out of pain but surprise, and tried her best not to let out her claws. She held on for a few more moments, then fell off Meg and got to her paws. "At least you didn't try to squish me," she said, giving her pelt a shake.

Marigoldpaw nodded in reply to her mentor, unable to say anything with her jaws fully occupied. She trotted past Daisybug, glancing sideways at Opalheart as she hurried past as soon as he was addressed by the medicine cat. She stood a bit on the inside and quietly sorted the moss into a nest beside Daisybug's, quietly enough so she could listen to what the warrior had to say.

Opalheart nodded to her in greeting before setting the herbs down at his paws. "Well, I guess you tell me," he joked. "Though, seriously, a kittypet showed up out of nowhere. Young cat. He gave Quailwish and I this bunch of herbs, saying he figured we'd be in a rough spot with the flood." He looked down to the pile then back to Daisybug. "My sister and I can't really say what they are for sure, so I figured I'd bring them to you and see if you wanted them. As for the territory, the lake is still way over its banks, but as long as we don't pass Whispering Trees, the rest of the territory has pretty much drained out."

Sweetie thought about it a moment, then looked out to the rest of the territory. "Let's keep going!" she mewed. "Look, you can see where GroveClan's camp is!" She frowned. "Or, uh... was."

[Lmao Hawkjawwwwww]
Skystar's cheerful expression collapsed when Hawkjaw mentioned Whisperwing. He turned his eyes to his deputy, eyes almost questioning. "That's a little insulting..." he replied. His tone was even, however, as he continued. "Whisperwing has nothing to do with Daisybug or medicine anymore. Marigoldpaw had approached me about it before... I thought I shouldn't say no if Daisybug was approving of it. I've gotten no warning from StarClan about it. As long as StarClan and Daisybug see no problems, then neither do I."
For a few moments, he considered telling the Clan about the rogues. "Though, what should I say to them? Be prepared to die... like Frostpaw? I don't want any of these mothers have to see the same fate befall their kits as well. If I can spare the bloodshed, then I will. Against my own pride, I'd prefer my family's safety." vocebuleryAlso since today is a Gathering, if we decide to have Skystar announce it, it seems fitting lol.Β At sunhigh right?] Hawkjaw stamped a paw on the ground, helpless anger welling inside of him. βSkystar, they need to be ready.β He whispered, tail-tip flicking. βWe canβt just ignore the rogues and let the clan be completely unprepared when a throng of poison-clawed cats show up in the clearing.β The tom knew he was overstepping his boundaries as a deputy, but this felt urgent to him. He couldnβt stand idly by while his leader refused knowledge to the clan.

(Oscar: ugh I guess Iβll help you commoners with your gross feral disease. *dramatic head turn*)
Meg looked up ahead to see the flooded camp, it wasnβt as bad as before but it was still inhabitable. She twitched her whiskers as she wondered if the camp would ever get back to normal. βAt least we didnβt get flooded in. Imagine Gremlin soaked to the bone.β

Sweetie scrunched up her nose. "Then he'd really look like a rat," she said with a laugh. She didn't want to be mean to him, but it was true. She started hopping along in that direction, swerving around mud puddles as best she could. As she walked, she thought about how the Clan cats got flooded in, and the rogues didn't. "Why did we fight the Clan cats... when it first flooded?" she asked aloud, without thinking. "We could've let them stay there and be safe."

However I'd be surprised if they knew about it but the Clan, having passed down generations and generations of knowledge, didn't know it xDD]

Skystar watched Hawkjaw silently, listening to him, the only movement was the tip of his tail moving occasionally. After his deputy spoke, he was quiet for a few moments. "If that's what you think would be best, then I will speak to them," he replied, returning to the center of the clearing. He hoped that the apprentice ceremonies would be a good boost to confidence for his clanmates, but he was relatively unsure. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather before me for a Clan meeting.
