( OOOH CROWLEAF IS GONNA GET YELLED AT THE NEXT TIME THEY MEET LOL POOR EMBERPAW. HMM... Maybe one moon passes or something and they meet again at the next gathering? I feel like Crow should end up meeting some of Sage's friends, idk )
Spottedfern enters the warrior den only to spot a hunched over black tom sitting near the back. She frowns but can only sigh in concern. ❝Go away, Spottedfern. I already know what you're going to say.❞ Crowleaf says defeatedly. The calico slowly approaches him but stops a few inches. ❝Crowleaf... I know you had a rough upbringing.... But don't confuse everyone with your dad.❞ She meows softly only to have her tone change to seriousness towards the end she then turns and leaves the warrior den. Crowleaf turns his head slightly to look at where she had left, his ears flat against his head looking guilty. He knew he probably freaked everyone out back near the border but he couldn't help it, he just hated his dad so much.

( Yes ^.^ Hahah. Siblings&& friends meet forbidden lover lol. OOH GOOD IDEA! Maybe he gets chased into TaigaClan territory by a dog but he was injured by it. I'll even have Winterpool probably at the gathering as well, so Sagegaze will end up meeting the elusive older brother of Crowleaf )

Crowleaf follows behind an average sized white and black tom with amber eyes who is walking beside a pretty brown tabby; His older brother, Winterpool, and his mate Briarfeather. Sure he got along with his sibling for the most part but other than that he really had no one in this clan besides Spottedfern. He soon found himself and his clan entering the cave for once again another gathering. He sighs only to be nudged by Spottedfern. ❝Cheer up grumpy paws!❞ She giggles only for him to scoff at her yet giving a smile nonetheless. His pale blue eyes glanced around the clearing of the cave clearly trying to spot a certain silver tabby that he’s grown fond of. He weaves his way through a crowd of cats following after Spottedfern still scanning the faces. He knew where she was headed anyway, where all the medicine cats and their apprentices usually hung out.

Crowleaf comes to an abrupt stop at Sagegaze's voice and his happy smile upon seeing her fell immediately. His blue gaze flickers to the young tom beside her then back to her face, his ears fall as he lowers his head a bit. With a sigh he speaks, ❝I'm sorry about that. I- It was wrong of me. I just... I'm really sorry...❞ His blue gaze stays downward as his voice trails off only to perk his ears up and his head turn behind him to see Winterpool coming up behind him. He looked to be holding his breath as the black and white tom neared him. ❝Crowleaf, Gailstar wants to talk to you after the gathering.❞ Winterpool gives him a sympathetic look only then to walk away not giving Crowleaf a chance to respond. The fluffy black tom inaudibly groans at his statement only to look at Sagegaze sheepishly. He clears his throat awkwardly only to look at Emberpaw, ❝I see you got to come to the gathering this time.❞ He meows trying to be friendly, which he usually was but last moon he just snapped upon them discussing his father.

The black tom's blue gaze locks onto Sagegaze as Emberpaw finally talks to him, probably just to ease the tension the filled the air but he doesn't notice he was too busy noticing how pretty the medicine cat's eyes were. His eyes grow wide and he shakes his head and breaks his gaze away from Sagegaze to look down at Emberpaw. A lazy grin slowly formed on his muzzle upon hearing the orange apprentice. A laugh leaves him, rumbling deep in his chest.❝Well, usually.❞ He meows as he gazes around the cave at all the other cats. He glances around once more before calling out to one of his classmates, ❝Meadowcloud, where's Ashlake at? Shouldn't she be here?❞ The black tom asks the brown tabby with a white paw about a russet colored warrior. ❝Oh, Gailstar told her to stay back with Daisypaw.❞ Crowleaf nods in understanding and turns back to Emberpaw and Sagegaze. ❝Why on earth are you worrying about my apprentice, Crowleaf?❞ Spottedfern speaks from behind Crowleaf making him tense up for a second only to frown at her and playfully meow, ❝Must you always sneak up behind me?❞ Spottedfern's pelt brushes up against Crowleaf's as she sits down and purrs happily, ❝I must.❞ They both end up laughing.

Spottedfern smiles at Crowleaf as she watches him smile at Sagegaze as she talks to her siblings. She sighs, long were the nights when her days once revolved around him. She was now all about tending to the health of her Classmates. Sure every now and then she got to spend time with the handsome uptight tom but that was rare nowadays and really she missed him, she still loved him. But she could tell he was slowly falling for the silver tabby medicine cat. She sighs with a smile, ❝You should introduce yourself.❞ She whispers as she nudges her head against his, the blue eyed black tom just told her to hush as quietly as he could. No way was he going to do that. Crowleaf looks over at the two cats that were now sitting with Sagegaze, he honestly didn't know how to feel he never really conversed with other cats from other clans until now. He felt weird.

Spottedfern and Crowleaf glanced at each other before turning and smiling. ❝It's nice to meet you.❞ Crowleaf retorts with a chuckle only at how excited Sagegaze was to introduce Spottedfern and him to her siblings and friends. ❝I'm actually the medicine cat for ThistleClan, not a warrior.❞ Spottedfern meows softly only for Crowleaf to laugh beside her and nudge her with his shoulder, ❝You could have been a warrior easily, I mean you're an amazing fighter.❞ Spottedfern just quietly chuckles at his statement blushing lightly.
Spottedfern easily could see that Sagegaze was falling for Crowleaf even if she didn't realize it. Her green gaze locks onto Crowleaf's side facial view. He was so pretty and he was never going to feel the same way she did. He couldn't anyway. It was forbidden. The calico glances at the happily beaming silver tabby. Sagegaze and Crowleaf couldn't be together either, she was a medicine cat and from a different clan. Crowleaf wouldn't allow himself to break the warrior code. Or would he?

Crowleaf chuckles at the antics of Birchwing. ❝Siblings.. can't live with them, can't live without them.❞ He responds with a wink in the silver female tabby's direction. He smiles warmly at her before turning his head towards the commotion up front where the leaders were. It looked like the gathering was almost coming to a close or was it just beginning, Crowleaf didn't know. He had been so focused on Sagegaze and Emberpaw and his apology to the orange apprentice earlier he lost track of time. Spottedfern leans over and whispers something in Crowleaf's ear with a smirk on her muzzle which in turn makes him laugh. A throwing back the head laugh sounding completely happy laugh. ❝I don't doubt that probability.❞ Crowleaf wheezes out trying to control his laughter. Crowleaf was always happy around Spottedfern and vice versa. To others that didn't know them and their positions in the clan would think they were young mates. But Crowleaf right now only had eyes for a certain small silver medicine cat.
( Also Spottedfern just told Crowleaf that Cardinalstar (Who is MarshClan's leader; aka ShadowClan) that it probably took him four warriors of his to help him up on that rock (because he's kind of chubby). ;; Is it bad that I kind of want to make Spottedfern become a little bit like Ashfur?? Like with loving Crowleaf and such. Becomes like a non supporter of the kitties love and such. )

Spottedfern roped Crowleaf into this deep conversation about her latest herd adventure about finding this rare plant by the abandoned twolegged barn where sometimes wild horses roam that was on ThistleClan territory. ❝You know we aren't allowed to go there. It's dangerous. And I... I don't want you getting hurt. Do you know how much trouble you would be in if my father knew? What those horses might do?❞ Crowleaf hisses quietly lowering his head to Spottedfern's eye level, noses inches apart. His blue eyes fill with worry for the pretty calico. Spottedfern just shakes her head softly while letting out a soft purr, ❝That's really sweet of you. Honestly. But you and I both know I can handle it.❞ Crowleaf can only sigh at her response. Spottedfern knew telling Crowleaf would just get her scolded by him, he really did have a hard time with the word 'fun'. He and his brother barely knew what it was. The two brothers were soldier-like through and through when it came to orders and battles. Blind and obedient like an attack dog. And they had their father to thank for that. Gailstar didn't even let his kits have a kithood, it was immediately train, sleep, eat on repeat. Their mother, Minnowsplash, tried to get her mate to lessen the harshness on her sons but that just seemed to make things worse so she stopped trying. Minnowsplash was a good mother to Winterpool and Crowleaf up until her early demise at the age of 33 moons old, killed by a dog. Gailstar was devastated by her death and he took his anger and heartache out on his kits. Now the brothers still weren't used to soft gestures and kind words.
His ears twitch upon hearing Sagegaze. His blue orbs and head turn to look at the group of cats now near him. ❝You got stuck in your camp walls?❞ He meows bewildered, Spottedfern's eye grow wide at that.
( I have no idea why I just typed up a backstory for Crowleaf and his brother LOL AND I just realized it's almost kind of like they're dean and sam winchester HAHAH )

❝I'd love to hear those stories some time.❞ Spottedfern's meows with a laugh. Crowleaf wasn't at all paying attention the cats around him, he was too busy staring over at his brother who was actually conversing with their father. And of course his father seemed to be scolding Winterpool for who knows what. Sometimes Crowleaf and his brother got yelled at for something neither of them did but they powered through it because they didn't know any other kind of affection a father was suppose to give their kits. The two brothers really didn't like being around their father anymore than they had to. He ruined their lives. At least Winterpool kind of got out of his radar by getting a mate. Crowleaf was all alone, having to face his father's wrath by himself. ❝Crowleaf? Are you alright?❞ Spottedfern had stopped laughing at the conversation of Sagegaze and her siblings only to notice the tom wasn't even paying attention. He looked... nervous. The tomcat's head whipped back to look at everyone with wide blue eyes only to look at Spottedfern fully. He chuckles nervously, ❝Y-yeah. I'm good... I'm... great actually.❞ Liar. Winterpool and Crowleaf are pretty close to each other even if it doesn't look like it to most. They've had to band together to protect themselves from their angry father. They would defiantly die for one another thus being the hard sad truth, Crowleaf stands up suddenly, ❝I'll be back.❞ He states only to quickly maneuver his way through the large surrounding group of cats to get to where is brother and dad were. It isn't seen by the cats he left behind but the slightly smaller tom of the three tomcats stands in front of the black and white tom, his chest puffed out forcing himself to look tough. The large golden tabby seems to stare his youngest in the eyes with a cold, hard stare only for his amber gaze to flicker to the familiar amber eyes of his eldest who in turn was glaring icily at him. With a silent stern look the leader of ThistleClan signals his clan that they were leaving.
❝The gathering isn't even halfway over... but I guess Gailstar has had enough.❞ Spottedfern meows softly as she watches her clan departing the cave, Winterpool and Crowleaf in the far back trudging along. The calico turns her head to look at the medicine cat and her siblings. ❝It was really nice meeting you all.❞ She then runs after the two brothers and her clan.

( It's alright. Life becomes busy and such, I understand C: && Yes the dog scene. )
It's been about one and a half moons since Crowleaf last saw Sagegaze. He ended up becoming really busy with his duties in his Clan. But as of right now he was busy running through the forest chased by a large canine. He leapt over stumps and hollowed out tree trunks. Dashed through evaporating puddles left over from last night's storm, stormed through prickly bushes only to eventually had gotten his back right leg snagged by sharp ivory canine teeth. Crowleaf yowled in pain only to manage to his left hind leg to kick the dog in his eye cleverly using his claws. The dog ended up letting go and running off but the damage had been made. The black tom's right hip and leg structure were shredded (Not enough to where he loses a leg or anything but enough to end up spilling blood and show a little leg muscle). He was exhausted and delirious to where he actually ended up. He stumbles and hops a few meters before collapsing from exhaustion and pain. IN TAIGACLAN TERRITORY.

(I like how you put it in caps XD)
Things went on like normal, only with a few more questions from Snowblossom when she returned from herb gathering anytime it was near Thistleclan's boarder. Did you see him. Are you going to see him. You like him don't you. They never stopped for that day. Eventually Sagegaze had stopped telling her she was going to their border.
Today she'd taken Emberpaw out with her once more, the young cat was coming along very well with his training. Though he was no where near being done with it he was well on his way. She was grateful to have such a talented young apprentice, she was sure the clan was too considering two well trained medicine cats meant more of a survival rate. For today Sagegaze would be teaching Emberpaw some battle moves. After all if the medicine cat den was attacked and no one was around minus sick cats or there was a kitting someone would have to protect them. So she planned on teaching him basic moves she'd learned from her littermates over her time as an apprentice and even early on as a full medicine cat.
Then it hit her, the scent of dog. Her fur fluffed up almost instantly and Emberpaw obviously worried hid behind her. "Do you smell the blood?" The small tom asked his voice quiet and shaky. The silver she-cat scented the air, he was right the scent of dog wasn't the strongest scent but blood was.
"Come on lets go see what it is." Sagegaze nudged the tom to get him moving and the two quickly followed the scent. There lay a body of black fur. Her eyes went wide, she knew exactly who that was. "Emberpaw we are going to have to carry him back to camp." Her apprentice had grown and was now roughly her size since the young tom was about eleven moons now. He said nothing but started the wiggled his way under the tom. Sagegaze grabbed Crowleaf's scruff to help the younger cat, "Make sure he is on your shoulders it is the best place to carry him." She dropped the tom's scruff and slipped on him as well beside her apprentice. The two made their way back to camp.
It wasn't too long before they made it back in fact he'd been pretty far into the territory. It was when they entered camp that all eyes were on them. Though allowed it was not a normal thing. Once in the den it wasn't long before the leader was there to ask questions. "Sagegaze why do you bring an outsider here?" Oakstar said looking at the lump that no lay on the floor of the medicine cat den bleeding. The medicine cat did not reply for a bit since she was busy tending to his wounds. "Sagegaze, I asked you a question." The tom spoke louder this time.
The silver she-cat wiped around. "You can see I am busy, now if this cat was of Taiga clan you'd stand by and wait. I ask you do the same for him. It is my duty to heal cats no matter what their clan." She hissed at the tom her pale green gaze flashing with anger. The leader took a step back, it was not often Sagegaze got angry but the older tom knew better then to pester. So the two medicine cats works to fix up his wounds.
The leader waited outside of the den for Sagegaze to tell him what happened. Soon the small cat came outside. "He was bitten by a dog, obviously chased here the dog caught his back leg. There is tearing and he is going to need to stay here for a while to fully heal." She said firmly, saving lives was something she took very seriously and she cared about the tom whether or not she would admit it.
"He is from Thistleclan he is n-" Sagegaze interuptted the tom quickly.
"He is injured. Are you going to explain to Starclan when your time comes that you let a cat die early because you didn't want your medicine cat to forfill her duty." The she-cat said her eyes watching him closely.
Letting out a long sight the leader stood. "Once he is heal my warriors will escort him to the boarder." He said before leaving the medicine cat to finish up. Sagegaze entered the den and sat near the black tom, she'd sent Emberpaw to get some more herbs to give the tom strength and cobwebs to keep the blood from flowing again. Both things she already had, but it never hurt to be stocked.

A groan leaves the black tom's mouth as he comes to. ❝Ugh... Where in Starclan...❞ He mumbles as he lifts his head almost hesitantly with a grunt. His icy blue eyes slowly take in his surroundings, his gaze falls on the silver she-cat only to lay his head back down but only to quickly whip back up and eyes grow wide at seeing the she-cat. ❝Sagegaze? What are you...?❞ He meows softly in confusion on to glance over at the den entrance seeing cats outside he's never really seen before only at gatherings. Oh no. No, no, no. His ears flatten and eyes grow wide, pupils growing small. He tries immediately to stand up but ends up crumbling back to the ground as soon as he puts weight down on his back hind right leg. This was so bad. Being stuck in a rival Clan. I mean Clan cats helping other severely injured cats isn't uncommon but it's a rare thing. Crowleaf heaves a heavy sigh as he glances back at his hind leg. Great. Just great. He thinks. But at least he gets to be around Sagegaze. His blue eyes glance up at the small medicine cat as his head rests on the soft moss bedding underneath him. ❝You know... If you wanted to see me you didn't have to have a dog chase me.❞ He jokes lightly with a sheepish smile. His ears flick backwards a bit only to force himself to sit up a little putting more weight on his left side than right. ❝Thanks... for saving me.❞ He meows earnestly..

Crowleaf smiles and chuckles softly at her comment, he really didn't mind being here at all. Her presence was all he needed to feel better if anything.. He glances down at the herbs she placed in front of him. He lowers his head and his nose twitches at the not very welcoming smell coming from the healing herbs. The black tom makes an unhappy face but laps up the herbs anyway. Blegh. He thinks as he swallows them. ❝They may make me feel better but they sure don't taste good.❞ He retorts with a flick of the end of his fluffy tail. ❝So.. How have you been?❞ He asks her trying to think of something to talk about while they wait. He didn't really understand fully his feelings he felt for Sagegaze but he did know that he felt really happy when he was around her and he cared a great deal for her. Like he didn't want anything bad to happen to such a sweet small she-cat. His stomach suddenly growls making Crowleaf duck his head down in embarrassment. ❝Sorry. I haven't had anything since sunrise. Too busy.❞

Crowleaf ears flick backward in embarrassment. ❝I know it's bad for my heath... I just can't really find any time.❞ He meows honestly with a half shrug of his shoulders. The black tom watches the speckled silver she-cat leave to retrieve something for him to eat. He lets out a yawn and rests his head on his paws, he really hasn't been sleeping good these past moons. What with the family problems he has and trying to be an outstanding warrior puts a toll on the young feline. Not even a half a second goes by before Sagegaze comes back with a fish. His head lifts up at just the smell of the river scented marine animal. He happily takes it from her and with a tired, ❝Thanks.❞ He tears into it of course not like an obnoxious feline who hasn't eaten in days but a simple gentlemen. After he finishes he licks his paws only to brush them over his face trying to keep himself from falling asleep even though thats just what he needs. A good long catnap. Ice blue orbs now stare out at the den's entrance. ❝I keep forgetting how many clanmates you have.❞ He chuckles quietly. ThistleClan currently didn't have any queens which meant no kits. They did have a nursery but it hasn't been used since Foxpath had her kits, Lilackit, Minnowkit, Larkkit, and CloudKit. Who of course were apprentices now since it had been moons ago. Crowleaf was itching to stand up, he hadn't been laying down for long but he hardly ever rests or even can find time to rest for that matter.

Sagegaze chuckled, they did have a rather large clan now; two queens in the nursery had their kits already and one was expecting. Honeypatch had two kits, a tom and a she-kit their names were Harekit and Berrykit. Ebonystreak had three and they were just two moons from being apprentices they were Newtkit, Mosskit and Nightkit. The last queen was her best friend since the gathering the white she-cat had finally moved to the nursery and Sagegaze had never been more excited. She perked up, "Speaking of large clan! Snowblossom, the white she-cat who wouldn't stop talking at the gathering, she is expecting kits!" The medicine cat purred happily. Boy did she have her paws full at the moment, but she love every minute of it. Plus it was good for Emberpaw to be getting so much experience. "Its been a whirlwind but luckily the kits were pretty spaced out at least two moons between each queen so far." The silver she-cat was obviously very happy about he friend having kits. She'd always wanted some of her own, but she had chosen the path of medicine cat so she gave up that dream. So she treated everyone like her kits, it helped fill the void a bit.

The black tom's blue gaze widens at the news of the medicine cat's friend yet not looking away from the medicine den entrance. ❝Oh wow! That's wonderful. Tell her I said congratulations.❞ He retorts warmly with a smile. Crowleaf did feel bad for medicine cats. They couldn't experience what their friends could. Be in love, have kits... Only able to live alone. Of course they have an apprentice that somewhat helps fill the void of loneliness but it doesn't help fully. Crowleaf tears his gaze away from the den entrance to look at Sagegaze. He tilts his head while looking at the pretty she-cat taking care of him. A smile graces his face. He opens his mouth like he wants to tell her something but decides against it and close his mouth. He doesn't even know if she feels the same let alone is aware of it like he is. He shifts around a bit trying to get into a more comfortable position without leaning weight onto his right side, it was tough but he managed to do it. ❝How long do you think I'll be here for?❞ He knew eventually he would have to go back home. Home to an angry father, non-obedient older brother, and a childhood best friend. But for right now he can just relish in the fact of getting to be around Sagegaze.
( I feel Crow is more aware of his feelings for Sage than she is for him. Idky but I feel like Crowleaf has a kind of somewhat husky voice to him )
