( its quite alright ^_^ oh goodness thats awful im sorry ) The black tomcat ice blue gaze stares at the small medicine cat letting her words sink in almost fully because no matter who told him how great of a warrior he is or he's alive because he has a purpose or whatever the case may be, the self doubt will always win. He looks away from her and shakes his head with a soft chuckle. ❝... Thanks.❞ he murmurs only to yet look at her with an amused smile and a twinkle of adoration in his eyes towards her. ❝You're really something else.❞ he states warmly. Crowleaf slightly twists his body to look at his leg in a better angle, side eyeing Sagegaze, he asks her, ❝Do you think I can try and walk around a little bit?❞

( Thats good. ^_^ )
Crowleaf nods his head at her. Adjusting his paws, he pushes his two front paws against the ground makong himself hover slightly before using his left hind leg to push himself to a standing position. His right hind leg that was healing wonderfully was slightly hovering about and 2 inches off the ground. He lets out a grunt before trying to place it on the ground. Immediately not such a good idea, he moved too fast. Luckily he didn't fully collapse thanks to Sagegaze. He leans against her a little bit. ❝I think just walking around the camp will be fine for now, Sagegaze.❞ He states with a soft smile.
He turns his body and lightly hops a bit to get to the medicine den entrance. Slowing down a bit he makes his way out of the den only to stop and glance around at the camp softly letting his right hind leg touch the ground putting light pressure on it.

The lean black tomcat turned his body and started to try and walk a few feet trying so hard to put light pressure on his injured leg, it needed it, needed to be stretched out. Only way he would heal faster is if he used that leg. Crowleaf remained silent the entire time trying to focus not on all the stares directed at him. He knew a few of her classmates were avoiding looking at him. He didnt belong in this clan. Honestly he didn't feel like he belonged anywhere.
Ice blue eyes glance down at the small feline beside him. Looking at her now... something seemed to stir within his heart. A skip of a beat perhaps. He had come to truly adore the silver she cat while having to stay in TaigaClan camp. Crowleaf shakes his head thoughtfully before limping with a littlw hop over to a shadey place. He slowly sets himself down to the ground with a contented grunt of approval at how far he had been able to walk. He just needed to rest for a bit.

Proud. That's the second time she had used that word. A word that was foreign to his ears but not to his brother's. Crowleaf's face morphs into this confused yet longing look at the word. Since he was a kit, that word had never been directed at him. It has always been; 'You did good, Crowleaf', 'Nice frog.', or his dad's favorite way to vocalize how he truly felt about him just a simple grunt of acknowledgement before focusing his attention on his older brother.
The black tom glances at Sagegaze fully aware of how close they were. His eyes cloud over with a smidge of self hate. ❝I have a two-part question.❞ he starts. ❝What would you do if you were going to die?❞ he asks honestly only to look away and stare up at the sky and finally ask his second question not even giving her time to answer the first part. ❝How did you ever convince yourself you weren't?❞ His voice cracks and he has to take a deep breath before he can even look back out at her camp.
He really did feel like he was going to die when that dog caught him and for a moment, he was hoping he was. He had nothing waiting for him back home. ...He was nothing.

Crowleaf stares off into the distance in pure silence listening to Sagegaze answer his questions. He half expected her to make up some lame attempt at answers but was shocked to hear her answer them honestly. He liked that about her, not afraid to honestly answer someone's hard questions. The black tom takes a deep breathe before swallowing thickly as if he was trying not to break down. ❝Right...❞ he murmurs dryly and he presses himself back against her, ears slightly lowered. He clears his throat trying to shake the tension out of the air, ❝How's your sister doing?❞

❝Slows down?❞ He states with a tilt off his head. The obsidian colored tom cat turns his head to the smaller she-cat beside him and retorts with a teasing tone ❝I thought medicine cats wanted all their patients to heal fast, ya know, happy and healthy? Not slow and miserable?❞ Crowleaf seems to lean a bit closer to her if that's even possible. ❝Luckily, I'm... a very happy patient at the moment.❞ He actually lets out a soft purr when his nose brushes against hers by accident, he pushes himself up this time a little bit better than he had in the den and hobbles his way a bit from Sagegaze only to turn his head to look back at her a warm smile spreads across his mouth. ❝I think later I want to try to see if I can get to the border.. ❞ he murmurs making his way back to the medicine den.
( i honestly don't know what even this reply is its awful. i think i want to have his older brother be at the border when they go. maybe )

NINE DAYS HAVE PASSED.
❝I really do think my leg is improving greatly, Sagegaze.❞ he grins wide as he props hinself up into a sitting position not even flinching when he has to use his right hind leg. He though is sad because his leg is really basically healed and he can go back home... and to be honest he'd much rather stay in TaigaClan. Not because Sagegaze was here, no, because his father wasn't here.

Crowleaf reluctantly eats the herbs still unable to not make a face of disgust. ❝I'll just be glad that I wont have to take these disgusting herbs anymore.❞ the black tom states as he pushes himself to stand fully. He was now only barely limping, pretty soon he knew he would be able to run until his hearts content. The black tom then gestures with his head for the smaller feline to go first before following her out of the den. He glances around as the exit the camp. ❝What is the herb you're looking for exactly?❞ he questions.

Crowleaf walked beside her every now and then his pelt brushing agaisnt hers. The black tom cat glances around in thought before saying in confusion. ❝Raspberry leaves.... I've never heard of that before. Is it a new herb you and the other medicine cats found?❞ His head tilts a bit as he glances at her only to look back straight ahead. ❝Spottedfern tried to teach me about herbs once when I upset my father and he had me banished only at the camp.❞ He starts with a twitch of his nose. ❝But it didn't really stay, ya know?❞ he chuckles lightly. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by a familiar male voice.
❝Crowleaf?❞
The black tom turns his head and stops walking only to see a black and white tom standing a few feet away, actually at the very edge of the border seperating TaigaClan and ThistleClan.
❝Stormheart.❞ he breathes out softly.
You could feel the tension in the air between the two brothers. Crowleaf glances at Sagegaze before walking over to his brother. Both tom cats now standing at both the edge of the borders just staring at each other in silence before Stormheart breaks it.
❝Your leg looks good.❞ Crowleaf doesn't respond just stares at him for a minute before speaking. ❝What do you want Stormheart?❞ he states with a huff. The older tom cat glances around before opening his mouth to speak. ❝It's time for you to come back home, Crowleaf.❞ he retorts seriously. Crowleaf scoffs. ❝Oh, I see. So you're telling me you're okay with falling in line and letting him run the whole show?❞
Stormheart gives Crowleaf a hard stare, ❝If that's what it takes.❞ he states bitterly with a clenched jaw. The younger tom cat's blue eyes grow wide in disbelief only to take a step closer to his brother and hisses angrily. ❝TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF, STORMHEART!❞ He snaps. Stormheart glares at him as Crowleaf turns on his paws and starts to make his way back to Sagegaze.
❝He|| I did EVERYTHING he asked of me and he doesnt love me either!❞ Stormheart yells out angrily as Crowleaf walked away from him. Stormheart hisses angrily before storming off. Crowleaf groans in annoyance as he stands there.
( i changed his older brothers name bc i didnt like what it was before )

Crowleaf glanced back over his shoulder to where his older brother had gone. Back home. Really where Crowleaf should be, his leg was better and he could have gone back with Stormheart. But then... Sagegaze. The handsome black tom if he was being honest with himself couldn't leave her just yet. He enjoyed being in her presence. He knew he felt someway about her, whether it was love or just a strong friendship. But the way his heart seemed to skip a beat whenever she was around proved to him that it was never friendship to begin with. It was love. He loved her.
Crowleaf's ice blue gaze locked onto Sagegaze's worries face. His ears were lowered and he looked completely heartbroken. "... no." he utters out, his voice cracking with sadness.
The only reason he would ever even think about going back to his Clan was because of his brother. Because no matter how much they fought like cats and dogs. The two brothers loved each other to death. He knew without him, he probably would have ran off to the mountains when he was younger, never to be seen again.
And honestly, Stormheart and Crowleaf were all the family they had. Sure, his brother had used to have a mate but Crowleaf knew that his brother's ex mate had been seeing another tom from the Clan. The black tom had never liked her to begin with. Stormheart even knew this and it had been this reason he was single once more.

The sudden force from the small cat made him stumble back a bit but quickly regained his footing. He let out a shaky sigh as he closed his eyes, letting himself get lost in how close Sagegaze was to him even it was her just trying to comfort him. Blue eyes cloud over with a mix of sadness and fustration. "I.. I need to go back home... Stormheart was right." he states as he takes a few steps back away from the medicine cat. He gives her a small smile that doesnt reach his eyes whatsoever. "I..." he takes a deep breathe before walking back to Sagegaze and lets his forehead lightly knock agaisnt the side of her head only for him to brush the side of his head against her's with an affectionate purr. "Thank you... for looking after me." he softly says.
The black tom then gives her one last look before making his way over the border back into his homeland.
( I felt like it really was time for him to go back... c: but theyll meet again probs at a gathering but the next gathering i have family drama planned. one of the confronts the dad. )

The pretty silver she-cat watched as he step away from her momentarily, confusion set in over the medicine and again her heart dropped. Why was she so sad that he was leaving. Sagegaze knee he would have to one day when he was better enough to walk. They’d been walking pretty far for at least two days now, the Tom limped very little if at all anymore. But for some reason it hurt to hear him say he was leaving. The medicine cat stood there just watching him for a few heartbeats before speaking, “Thank you for becoming an important part for my life.” She spoke almost not loud enough for him to hear. “Don’t get bit by anymore dogs! You hear!” She called with a small laugh “Next time you had that dog his tail!” Sagegaze purred happily, they would meet again sooner or later after all the two seemed drawn to each other by something. She too turned to head home glancing back and smiling, before leaving all together. Once back at camp Emberpaw was sitting in the den waiting for her. “Hi Emberpaw.” She mewed, the light was gone from her voice a bit and the young cat noticed the missing patient.
“Where is Crowleaf.” He asked tilting his head, Sagegaze simply smiled brushing passed her apprentice.
“He went back to his clan.” Her voice held a bit of saddness in it that much was obvious.
“Is that why you were pressed against him.” The young cat whispered, he’d gone to the boarder after gathering he herbs since he knew were Sagegaze would be. And he hadn’t caught the fight before but he had seen the two cats nuzzling each other in a way unbefitting of a medicine cat.
The She-cat turned not hearing him “What Emberpaw??” She asked tilting her head.
The young cat looked slightly shocked “Oh I said, is that why you pressed him to go to boarder?” He said quickly recovering
“Oh. Uh yeah and to get this.” She held up raspberry leaves for her sister who would be kitting any day now.
(Yeah it felt right and so did having Emberpaw sneaking LOL )
