Moonbranch listened, taking a moment to mull over how much of each herb and remedy he actually had, before stating, “Well, I can offer you poppy seeds to help you sleep up until your kits are born, when you’ll be nursing them.” The medicine cat paused again, taking another moment to remember if he had enough before adding, “I can also give you burnet, to keep your strength up.” He took another pause, unsure if he should point out Webbedblossom’s pause, before deciding to dance around it. He finshed, “And please let me know if anything else is ailing you, if not for your sake than for the sake of your kits.” Regardless if anything else had been troubling the queen or not, Moonbranch figured it was something he should add. His job was to help, and he couldn’t quite do that if nobody told him what was wrong to begin with.
Ivystalk nodded, “Well, I do suppose that is true.” But not forever was tacked onto her statement in her head. If perfection was achievable, she was going to attain it, and it wasn’t, well, the cats below her didn’t have to know. She would make herself so untouchable that, to others, she may as well be unable to improve, completely and utter,h perfect. “Still, a good leader is the kind of cat who can recognize and admit that.” Ivystalk concluded.

Webbedblossom » Camp Clearing, @nettles zoneoftruth Listening carefully to what the mediicne cat had to say, whilst she'd never had any training herself, she understood the need to have some basic understanding of certain herbs. Hence tried to listen in whenever she could, wrapping her tail around her very swollen stomach with a nod as Moonbranch continued to list off possible remedies which could help her. The warrior queen quickly added, a little bashfully, "I mean, I can survive feeling a little tired if taking herbs could hurt the kits." She promised, not wishing her clanmates to think of her as a poor mother, when she was doing everything in her power to be the best mother that she could. As scared as the young warrior was about bringing kits into the world, she wanted to do everything possible to look after them. Mottledstar » Camp Clearing, zoneoftruth "Thankyou," the young leader relented at last, realising it was likely she wouldn't get out of this conversation without agreeing to some extent. A soft chuckle tugged from her orange splashed face, amused by the persisitence of the younger warrior. But the laughter sounded hollow, for there hadn't been much joy in Mottledstar in what felt like an eternity. As much as she tried to put on a facade, it was impossible to keep a mask on the entire time.

Roleplay layouts will have to wait until tomorrow since I'm pretty busy today ^^" But here are some starters.
Windershear -- Mottledstar & Ivystalk { @stormpetal & zoneoftruth } A good nights rest was definitely what he needed. Another dawn patrol and Windshear felt like his paws would have fallen off. He slipped inside camp and shook the soft moss and morning dew from his pelt, before dropping his preyful catch into the fresh-kill pile, something he managed to do before heading back to camp with the dawn patrol. He nosed around it for a moment before picking out a large shrew. He purred and stood up straight, looking around slowly for a specific cat before spotting the black and ginger splashed leader. He twitched his tail before bounding over. He noticed Ivystalk and dipped his head respectfully before placing the prey in front of Mottledstar. "Here, you need to eat something." He mewed softly, his soft green-yellow eyes boring into Mottledstar's own as he carefully pressed his nose to her cheek. He glanced at Ivystalk and slicked his tail, gesturing that she could stay if she wished. "You can grab something for yourself and eat with us if you'd like?" He looked at his mote, hoping it was okay to offer that.
Bumbleflower -- Open { @... } Having just finished straightening out the herb store, the tortoiseshell she-cat twitched her tail and nodded in triumph. It had taken a while, two days to be exact, and since Moonbranch hadn't helped her much- not that she minded- she had taken most of the afternoon yesterday after she had gone herb collecting that morning. She had finally finished nitpicking where every leaf, root and seed should go. She stood up and stretched, her fluffy tail swishing up dirt before she yawned, slipping outside of the medicine cats den. Her gaze fell on the chatting cats around the camp before she noticed Auburnheart sitting alone, glaring at the leader and her mate. With a roll of her eyes, Bumbleflower carefully picked her way over to the freshkill pile, whiskers twitching as she looked for something to eat.
Firepaw -- Open { @... } The young ginger tabby tom was still well asleep, not having the best of dreams as his ears twitched and his back legs thrashed as if trying to swim through some water. Whimpers left the tabbys maw as he shifted in his nest, leaving it a messy disarray. He was having a dream of falling into a stream and almost drowning, until his father rescued him and helped bring him back to camp where Bumblepaw - at the time - and Moonbranch were and frantically started working on him. After what seemed like forever, Firepaw jerked awake with a gasp and heaving breaths, his chest working up quite the sweat as he shakily got to his paws. The ginger tom carefully picked his way out of the den, noticing Splashpaw had already left. He kept his head low, embarrassed that he had had another nightmare. He sat outside the apprentice den, starting to lick the dust and moss off his forever messy fur, waiting patiently for his mentor to come and tell him they were going out to train or something.
Auburnheart -- Open { @... } Another night had passed with his dreams of darkness and all things probably evil. Auburnheart adorned another thick gash in his shoulder, but he had made sure to clean it before even getting out of the pale light warriors den. He was currently seated at the edge of camp, his green eyes glaring at the leader and her mate. He said nothing, though he noticed Bumbleflower catch his gaze. With a snort, the ruddy brown tom got to his paws and stalked off towards the entrance, figuring he would be better off in the territory then lounging around inside the camp. He flicked his tail and was off, going to go hunt by the borders or possibly just climb a tree and do nothing- his own idea of fun. At least he'd be out of the camp to relax and not listen to every cat talk. "Great dark forest, why was I even born in such a large clan." He hissed under his breath softly, shaking his head before prowling deeper into the undergrowth.

“Well, poppy seeds are mainly an issue once you’re nursing.” Moonbranch said, not wanting Webbedblossom to suffer over some misunderstanding. “And I can bring you burnet regardless.” He turned his head back towards his den, before asking, “Would you like me to bring you either, right now?” His offer was accompanied by a few paces backwards.
Ivystalk offered a cheery, “Of course.” To Mottledstar’s thanks. However, her own mood seemed to sour with her leader’s dry laughter. “I take it that something’s wrong?” The warrior asked, moving her head closer with a slight tilt to it. Her voice was curious, be the reasoning behind it be for better or worse. Ivystalk glanced at Windshear, somewhat frustrated that she had been interrupted, but never being one to show it. She simply nodded, “Right. I’d love to.” Before walking off to take her pick.

Mottledstar » Camp Clearing, zoneoftruth Mottledstar would have responded had it not been for Windshear interrupting their conversation, and the young leader merely nodded in agreement to what her mate had said. She saw no issue with inviting the younger warrior to join them in a meal, she was polite enough to accept regardless of her wishes anyway. Lifting herself to her paws, the dappled golden shecat touched her nose to his cheek in greeting. Unusually affectionate considering her usually shy demeanour, but it was most likely due to the largely empty clearing that surrounded them. “Good morning,” she greeted with a smile. The last few days the pair hadn’t seen much of each other, mostly due to the nature of her being leader, but it made her no less happy to see him. . (I’m now on iPad, so I will reply to wind and ivy for now to make life easier)

Ivystalk picked around the fresh kill pile, picking whatever seemed to be the most appetizing, though careful not to make herself look greedy with her pick. She took a moment to meow a hello to Bumbleflower, before picking up the prey, a shrew, and returning to the clan’s leader and her mate. She made no noise to announce her return, simply placing down her food before her, watching the displays of affection between the two with outward amusement. Indeed, amusement was there, moreso because she found them actually funny than cute, but something negative underneath bubbled. However the she-cat could not pick apart whether that something was disgust, be it at the concept of mates or the close bond in front of her, or an odd jealously, of clearly strong and capable cats clearly loving towards each other, without any fear the other was merely a setback.

Windshear -- Mottledstar && Ivystalk { @stormpetal && zoneoftruth } Windershear purred softly and carefully rested himself down, tucking his paws under his chest. He yawned softly and nudged the prey over to his mate before gazing over the clan. He remembered when he was an apprentice how desperately he had wanted to be leader, but never imagined his mate getting there. He was very proud of her, especially considering how shy she tended to be. His yellow green gaze shifted to glance at Ivystalk, his whiskers twitching. "Have you been out on a patrol yet this morning?" He asked curiously, curling his tail over his front as he pressed his shoulder against Mottledstar's. His attention then shifted over to the leader, purring softly. "If you have the time, I'd like to take a walk with you to Cascade Falls. If you're busy, then don't worry. I'll probably take a patrol out instead to mark the borders." Windshear mewed, looked back at Ivystalk. "My apologies, if you feel like your interfering, or... If I did. I wanted to make sure Mottledstar ate this morning." He explained.

Mottledstar » Camp Clearing, zoneoftruth -` percy ´- .✫ 🌊 Stretching out in the sand beside her mate, if she had noticed the strange looks she was receiving from Ivystalk she didnt make it apparent in her facial expressions. It wasnt a common occurrence that she could enjoy time with the tom she loved, and when she did she wasnt about to allow it to go to waste just because of the opinions of her clanmates. Leader as she might have been, that made her no less worthy of a mate than any other cat. Or at least that was the way she tended to look at it, she was so far uncertain as to whether the others agreed with her. She chuckled in response to his latter comment, “Yes, he seems to forget I’m not actually a two moon old kit,” her purr was an affectionate one. Sighing on her mates insistence, she took a small bite then passed it back to him, offering him a share of the prey. “I went on the dawn patrol,” she explained, wrapping her tail around her paws neatly and followed his gaze calmly. “But I would be more than happy to go for a walk,” she added quickly. Looking to Ivystalk with a twitch of her orange tipped ears, she asked in a polite manner. “Would you mind taking a patrol out at some point?” She questioned, not seeing her deputy out and about just yet so guessing it might be best if she tried to make his life easier, considering that soon enough he would be a father again and his life would become more hectic.

(Agh, sorry I vanished. I had work really early today and just ended up passing out at home. Since it's getting more crowded, I'm finally gonna start tagging.) Swanfrost--` percy ´- .✫ 🌊Viperback had ducked out of the conversation quietly while the two were discussing things, not wanting to distract their medicine cat, and passed Swanfrost on his way to the fresh-kill pile. Swanfrost was clearly in one of his moods, having not had much luck hunting this morning, and stressed about something. Swanfrost ducked out of camp at the same time as Auburnheart, and flicked his tail to catch the brown tom's eye. "Are you going hunting? If so, do you mind if I join you? I didn't have much luck this morning." His voice was as flat and emotionless as ever, but his eyes gleamed with frustration. He'd lost a rather large toad when the wind had shifted, and it was still annoying him. Splashpaw-@stormpetalSplashpaw followed his mentor, sulking slightly over his still messy pelt and his lack of sleep, and barely stopped in time when he felt his mentor's tail brush against his shoulder. At his mentor's words, he scented the air, ear twitching when he picked up the same smell of prey. He gave a short nod, his eyes fixing on the patch of grass, already working himself into a slow prowl. He got in as close as he dared, close enough to pounce, when he carelessly stepped on a patch of dead, dried out plants, which crunched under his weight. The bird fluttered from the grass and out of sight, and Splashpaw hissed in anger. He was cross with himself for not paying attention, and slouched back to his mentor. "Missed it." He muttered.

Ivystalk --` percy ´- .✫ 🌊 @stormpetal ”No, I understand. You two are simply, funny to me, I guess, as I don’t really know what it’s like to have a mate.” Ivystalk offered as an explanation for her reaction. She ate silently as the two turned their attention towards each other. She must have lost herself in thought, as she only tuned back into the conversation when she noticed attention was once again being turned to her. She replied, her voice cheery once more, “Of course! I was already intending to bring Firepaw out on a patrol anyways.”
((Figured I should probably start tagging too, for organization’s sake)
