Paintstream turned her attention away from Opalheart and Daisybug chatting when she heard Skystar's call. She got to her paws and gave a single shake to free her pelt from the dirt, before padding over to join her gathering clanmates. She thought it odd that he decided to call them all again, after he had just made the kits apprentices. Was it something to worry about?

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." Lol]

Daisybug glanced down at the herbs and gave them a good sniff. "They're mallow leaves," she said with a nod to Opalheart. "They're good for stomach aches, but I haven't used any yet. There must be some up the river." She was somewhat disappointed it wasn't the wormwood that rogue had shown her, although she felt a bit guilty about that. "Thanks, Opalheart. And if you see the kittypet around again, tell him thank you, too." Then she picked up the leaves to take into the den.

Opalheart brightened a bit when Daisybug confirmed that they were herbs. "Oh, thats great," he replied, giving her the rest he had brought back. "I'm glad that it's something useful. And, I will, if I do see him again. He seemed pretty young, probably be best for him to stay off the Clan territory though..." he continued, and finished in a near whisper. "Is...there anything I could do for you, or the sick cats? I've been itching to do something all day."

Falconrush sauntered into camp with a rabbit dangling from his jaws. He combed the clearing with his sharp green eyes, checking to see if any of his friends weren't out on patrol. The overwhelming aroma of the rabbit made his mouth water after not too long, forcing him to pad across camp to the fresh kill pile and deposit it before he was tempted to just scarf it right then and there.

Sunrose sunbathed beside the nursery, eyes closed blissfully as she twisted onto her back, exposing her belly to the warm sun. It was nice to feel comfortable for once after all the turmoil going on both within, and around, her. She peeked open one of her eyes when she heard camp entrance rustle, watching as Falconrush emerged with prey in tow. The sight of the rabbit made these animalistic cravings begin to churn within the pregnant she-cat. fOoD....nEeD tHaT dElIcIoUs mEaT... her body seemed to groan, Sunrose now flipped back onto her side and eyeing the freshkill with wide predatory eyes.

Daisybug moved to place the herbs at the den entrance, then looked back at Opalheart. "Actually, yeah," she said, then nudged toward him some of the moss from her own pile. "Can you fetch some clean water for me to give Goldenstrike and Russetpaw? It would be a big help." She had to keep a pretty close eye on her patients, and already felt bad leaving them to get moss. But at least another cat was in there with them now.

Palepaw had been sitting in the clearing during the apprentice ceremony and hadn't moved to do something else. She was glad she did, as Skystar was calling them for another meeting. The apprentice stared at her paws as she waited, kneading them into the dirt. Admittedly, she was more concerned about Russetpaw than whatever their leader had to say. She glanced up as Falconrush entered camp with a rabbit and made quick eye contact with him, then looked away awkwardly.

(( oh is there another meeting being called? lol ))
Falconrush dropped his rabbit on the pile of prey, about to choose something for himself when he noticed his clanmates beginning to congregate into the clearing. Skystar must have summoned the clan for yet another meeting. Gritting his teeth with slight annoyance that he'd have to wait for his next meal, he began to search for a spot when he met eyes with Palepaw. She was already seated among the crowd and looked a bit restless. Upon locking gazes, she had quickly turned away, and Falconrush purred slightly with amusement. The younger she-cat was really poor at masking her emotions, it was cute. At any other time he'd shimmy up beside her, but the crowd had already thickened and there would be no room. He sat himself where he was on the outside of the crowd and tuned in to Systar, all the while taking swift sideways glances back at Palepaw with a smirk.

Opalheart nodded. "Sure, I can do that," he replied to the medicine cat, but hsi ears flicked back when he heard the leader call for another Clan meeting. "Uhm... sorry, Daisybug, I'll grab some right after." He got to his paws and turned so he could face the clearing. He was able to see a bit over the group, but he could hear just fine from where he stood. He waited for it to start, and he sent an occasional glance to the deputy, who looked slightly on edge.

Yee]
Skystar looked towards the ground until the sound of paws shuffling on the earth quieted, and his gaze rose when he figured most of the Clan had gathered. "I know we just celebrated the apprentices receiving their new names, and I'm sorry to sully that feeling now. However, after some thought, I figured it cannot be avoided. I want you all to prepare yourselves. One of the rogues had gone to Daisybug, and threatened her. They are going to be here, at sunhigh. They have many tricks, and even offered us a "cure" for the illness that has made us weak since last Leafbare... but it will cost us our Moonpool territory."

Daisybug nodded at Opalheart, then moved to sit next to him. She knew what was coming, and the nervousness tingled from paws to tail tip. The Clan was already weak with leafbare and sickness, and now they were partaking in yet another fight against the rogues. She was sure they were ready, but they didn't have much choice. When Skystar announced it and mentioned her name, she closed her eyes and flicked her tail nervously.
Duskwhisker stood up from where he sat in the crowd with Dovecloud, tail lashing. "You're not planning on giving in to them, are you?" he said, then sent a quick glare to Daisybug. The rogues had no code or morality; there was no way to trust anything they said, not even an attempt at compromise.

Falconrush bared his teeth with anger at Skystar's news. Those lowly rats! Taking advantage of Groveclan's ill to try and gain some territory? He pricked his ears at Duskwhisker's retort and snorted in agreement. "We have no vantage over them, it'd be ridiculously easy for them to just pull out on their offer and overwhelm us!" his emerald gaze burned with aggressive loyalism. If those mousedungs thought that Groveclan would just roll over in defeat because of its sickly, they were gravely mistaken. "Groveclan has endured bouts of sickness before, no matter how dire. We don't need the charity of untrustworthy rogues."

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." (Iβm not getting notifications anymore! Sorry I havenβt been responding.) Megβs tail swayed against the ground as Sweetie asked her the question, βItβs complicated for a kit like you to understand now.β She started, βBut we have many cats within our group just as the clan does. We couldnβt be able to feed ourselves before, how could we help them? And we never had good relations with them, even if we did help, theyβd attack us.β She looked at Sweetie, βWe need to look out for our own.β She felt stupid for saying that as sheβd give anything for Rowanheart.

"I am a leader; I guide," Skystar replied. "I want to know what all of you think about this. I am not here to ask that you all put your lives at stake right at this very moment. If we want to fight, we will. If we want to build up strength first, we will. Our Clan has suffered a lot, and these cats come to use with no hesitation."

Sweetie wasn't so sure about that. They could have tried talking or something, but it seemed like every time the rogues and the Clan cats met up they ended up fighting. Maybe they just weren't meant to get along. "I see..." she said, then let out a sigh. Her ears pricked as they got closer to the lake, and they could see the water seeping over the shore. "The lake still hasn't gone down." She wondered what kind of weird Twoleg stuff might be washed up around the territory.

Softlight watched from between the ears of his two kits, both resembling their mother in so many ways. He lay behind them, paying more attention to the back of their fluffy heads than what was actually occurring over towards the center of their makeshift camp. The earth was dry beneath his paws, and the realization that Greenleaf was near slowly crept into his thoughts, and he hoped that the damage from the lake would disappear quickly with the heat.

Cactusclaw shifted on his paws.It seemed like everyday now there were gatherings of some sort.He yawned.How long since he last slept?Since he laid down to rest?He didn't know.All this looking out and hunting didn't give him much down time.He looked across their temporary camp and saw Softlight with his kits.He padded around behind everyone one and made his way to the brown and white tom."Any idea what this one's about?"He whispered as he settled down behind one of the kits.

If we want to fight, we will. If we want to build up strength first, we will. Our Clan has suffered a lot, and these cats come to use with no hesitation." Hawkjaw flattened his ears at the retorts from his clan mates. Skystar, however, hadnβt flinched. His tail remained even and his eyes fixed on his clan fastidiously. Will I be able to do the same as a leader? He wondered internally. Spirits low, the dark tabby turned his attention once more to the now steaming cats before him. They all looked weary, as if their paws could no longer carry them. Their ears dropped, their tails sagged, and even the kits werenβt bustling around as normal. Itβs your job to keep them motivated, do something whine bag. Pricking his ears and casting a tentative look to Skystar, Hawkjaw took a step forward. βThis last battle is all we need.β His voice rang out. βIf we all put our claws, teeth, and minds together, this will be no more than a skirmish with a couple of mangy raccoons.β Then, flicking his gaze to Falconrush, he continued. βWe wonβt flop against this threat like cowering mice. Nothing has been discussed about taking the cure, however we need to be ready for the retaliation of not taking it.β

I doubt itβll return to normal in a short time.β Meg said with a sigh. She wondered what the clan would do next, or her own group. She didnβt want to face Rowanheart in a fight, βI could sit it out but thatβd look suspicious to Shadow.β There was a cool gust of wind making her purr, βItβs nice out huh Sweetie.β She said, trying to change to a lighter topic

Softlight blinked, moved from his dazed state and looked over to see Cactusclaw addressing him. He had barely caught what he had said. "Oh...not sure, really," he replied. "The last one was pretty garbled as well...Honestly, I'm usually not sure about whats going on anymore."
