(Sounds good)
Sootshine stretched her back as she exited the warriors den, the sunlight hitting her pelt. She immediately noticed the strain the clan was under, as recent rain had dampened the dens and tunnels that lined the rocky hollow. It was unusual to have this much rain, and luckily it seemed to have passed for the time being. She noticed her apprentice Vinepaw on the other side of the clearing, and she waved her tail, greeting him cheerfully. "Good morning Vinepaw. Did you sleep through the rain alright?"

Vinepaw ;; { Kana - hollowclan camp }
The lanky black apprentice, despite the rain the night before, had slept fairly well. While his denmates complained about being cold and restless all night, Vinepaw quite liked the rain. The faint drumming on the stony roof above was comforting, lulling him to sleep. Vinepaw - being notorious for never resting well - was unusually bright-eyed and chipper this morning. He had already eaten a meal and was waiting for his mentor, Sootshine, to appear and tell him the plan for the day.
The black tom’s eyes lit up as he caught Sootshine slipping out of the warriors’ den and trotting over to him. As usual, his mentor seemed be in high spirits, her amber eyes bright and fur freshly groomed. Vinepaw was grateful to have Sootshine as his mentor; their personalities worked well together and they made a good team. She made him work hard, never missing a day of his training, no matter the circumstance.
“I slept pretty good,” Vinepaw mewed after giving the she-cat a welcoming nod. He didn’t ask if she did; it was obvious that she had. “I don’t mind the rain that much. It helps me sleep, if anything.”

”I’m glad to hear it” Sootshine purred. Her eyes glanced towards the medicine cat den where Rosethorn was. The rain hadn’t seemed to affect her den that much, but even then it may be nice to still ask. ”Wait here just a moment Vinepaw. Sootshine dipped her head to Rosethorn as she padded over. ”Good morning Rosethorn. Is there anything Vinepaw and I could do to help you out after the storm? Were any herbs lost that you may need?” she asked, being polite as possible with the temperamental medicine caf

Rosethorn { Kana - hollowclan med den }
The problem with having a den below ground level is when it rains, most of the runoff rolls into your den. Rosethorn grumbled as she looked through the herbs she’d laid out to dry the day before. Instead they were the exact opposite - sopping wet from rain water that had rolled into her den. She pawed at the leaves grumpily, her mood instantly started souring (more than normal, that is). Hopefully the herbs weren’t too ruined, but the medicine cat would have to collect more to be safe.
Rosethorn turned at the sound of her name, squinting to see Sootshine at the entrance of her den. The she-cat rolled her green eyes; just what she needed. She heaved herself up and limped over to the warrior, her expression not very welcoming. She didn’t even greet Sootshine, just said, “I need some borage, coltsfoot, and goldenrod. My freshly picked batch got ruined last night.” The wild-furred feline looked outside, noticing Vinepaw awaiting his mentor’s return. “Don’t be too long - it looks like it might rain again.”

Sootshine smiled sheepishly and dipped her head. "Of course Rosethorn. Vinepaw and I will keep our eyes out and do our best. I luckily still remembers those herbs from last leafbare's battle, so you can count on us" she purred.
Backing away, Sootshine turned back to Vinepaw, smiling and waving her tail. "Come on Vinepaw. This is a good time for you to learn about herbs. While you are a warrior apprentice, having some basic herb knowledge can be incredibly useful"

Rosethorn ;; { Kana - hollowclan med den }
The dark ginger cat nodded, tail flicking behind her. Rosethorn then turned, heading towards the back of her den, not bothering to bid the warrior farewell. The she-cat let out a loud, irritated sigh, staring down at the ruined herbs. She stood their for a moment before reached down and picking them up, deciding to lay them out in the sunshine while she could. Observing the sky again, Rosethorn saw threatening clouds off in the distance. She sniffed the air, catching the distinct scent of rain on the wind. The medicine guessed that the storms would be moving in slowly, so she had time. Good enough for her. The crippled cat set down the herbs and spread them out neatly, making sure they didn’t touch.
Rosethorn wondered, where was Bramblestar. She had been meaning to discuss the constant rain and noticbly rising water in some of the caves. The medicine cat worried for another flood and she knew her leader wouldn’t discuss it if her medicine cat didn’t bring it up.

Vinepaw ;; { Kana - hollowclan camp }
Vinepaw was rather intimidated by the HollowClan medicine cat. Rosethorn was notorious for being unfriendly and Vinepaw could attest to that. One time he had a thorn driven deep in his paw and went to get it removed. Rosethorn had growled at him and told him that he was being too wimpy, but removed it anyways. The lanky apprentice tried avoiding getting injured as much as possible from then on.
He waited for Sootshine’s return, glancing up at the sky. To his dismay, he saw dark clouds in the distance, promising rain in the forecast. Vinepaw didn’t mind the rain when he wasn’t standing out in it and getting wet. Unlike multiple of his Clanmates, the black tom didn’t enjoy water or swimming. It was uncharacteristic, due to each Clan’s history, but Vinepaw would much rather climb or run than swim. He looked back down, watching his mentor pad back over to him. The apprentice was surprised to see Sootshine still quite chipper; Rosethorn was also known to be a mood-killer. Vinepaw nodded obediently at his mentor’s instructions, ready to go when she was.

As Sootshine first began by bringing Vinepaw to thick bushes that surrounded their camp's hollow. Turning to her apprentice, she began to explain. "You see Vinepaw, Hollowclan doesn't have very many foliage as you already know, but luckily we do have some valuable herbs that grow around close to the camp, so it is quite convenient in a pinch"
She waved her tail over a purplish color plant. "Borage only grows in a few areas around Hollowclan. Here, why don't you try picking it? Try to be gentle"

Bramblestar exited her den, little puddles of water dotted the area from the rain. She sniffed the air, noting the dark clouds and murky air and sighed. "Another storm..." she muttered to herself. She made her way towards the medicine cat den where she could see Rosethorn at work already.

Sparkpaw startled herself awake as a small droplet fell onto her nose, scrambling to her feet and shaking her head. Blinking the sleep away, she took a minute to stretch and bounce on her feet cheerfully despite the tiredness she still felt. The young she-cat's mind was already buzzing with all sorts of events that could happen today, fueling her seemingly inexhaustible excitement. Now fully energized, she pushed her way out of the apprentices' den and shook her fluffed fur.
"Good morning, HollowClan!" Sparkpaw greeted cheerfully to anyone within earshot, not at all concerned with how obnoxious she might had sounded. She bounded across the clearing as if she were a kit again. It wasn't too long ago that she was given her apprentice name, so it made some sense as to why she still acted like a kit. Spotting Bramblestar walking towards the medicine den, Sparkpaw called out a greeting to her leader from a distance. "Good morning, Bramblestar!"

Bramblestar waved her tail, acknowledging the young apprentice, but her concerns with the rain were more important right now. Seeing Blackfang coming out of the warriors den, the she-cat waved her tail for him to take Sparkpaw elsewhere while she continued to make her way towards Rosethorn.
Blackfang had just woken up when he saw Bramblestar wave him towards Sparkpaw. Sighing lightly, the level-headed black tom greeted his energetic apprentice warmly. "Good morning Sparkpaw"

Hearing her mentor's voice, Sparkpaw spun around to face him.
"Good morning, Blackfang!" she greeted back cheerfully. The ginger she-cat bounded towards him, but ended up tripping over her own paws. "Oof!" This wasn't the first time she ended up falling on her face by pure clumsiness, but it didn't make it any less annoying, for her and for everyone else. She scrambled to her feet and continued running to Blackfang until she was in front of him. "What are we gonna do today?" Sparkpaw wasted no time in hauling out questions. "Are we gonna learn fighting moves? Are we going out hunting? Oh! Oh! Maybe there's trespassing cats that need to be dealt with! Oh! Maybe we'll be looking for herbs for Rosethorn! Oh no wait, that means facing her... Nevermind! I don't wanna do the herb thing!" Sparkpaw's tail swayed back and fourth as she continuously bombarded her questions onto her poor mentor.

Blackfang placed his tail on his young apprentice's back. "Slow down there Sparkpaw" he chuckled before standing up, nodding for her to follow him. "Sootshine and Vinepaw are doing some work for Rosethorn, so in the mean time we are going to work on hunting. The rain managed to get into the shelter where we set the fresh-kill pile, so we're going to need a new supply" Blackfang explained.

The young apprentice straightened up at the mention of hunting and swished her tail to and fro.
"Yay! Hunting! I can't wait!" Sparkpaw followed after her mentor eagerly. Learning battle techniques was nothing compared to hunting! She couldn't quite place her paw on it, but there was something thrilling about chasing her prey and swiftly catching it before it could get the chance to escape in their little hidey-holes and trees. Perhaps it was the running she loved? Or perhaps it was the intense moments of stalking her prey before pouncing on them and killing them perfectly. Whatever the reason was, she absolutely loved it!
Of course, with her really bushy tail, it made hunting a little bit more difficult for the young she-cat as the prey could see it easily. Sparkpaw had to find other ways of hunting successfully. In a way, that made this particular training all the more fun and exciting!
"I'm gonna catch the fattest mouse in the entire Clan! Or maybe the fattest squirrel! Or heck, a fattest anything!" Sparkpaw meowed confidentially, puffing out her chest.

Rosethorn ;; { Kana - hollowclan med den }
The dark ginger feline had finished laying out her herbs when she looked up and spotted Bramblestar padded over. Rosethorn let out a small sigh of relief; she didn't have to fetch the leader herself. Rosethorn, being the prickly cat she is, never really got along with Bramblestar. Their personalities clash and they often argue over silly things. Not really in the mood to fight, Rosethorn would try to be a little more pleasant. Though "pleasant" for the medicine cat was only "tolerable".
"Good morning," Rosethorn mewed, though her slightly annoyed gaze betrayed her voice. It was about time they talked about the rain and possible flooding. Rosethorn beckoned the she-cat with her tail and padded into her den. She shook out her fur a little; it had gotten wet from brushing against the leaves around her den. "We need to talk about the rain," the wild-furred feline began, sitting down in the back of her den. "With the layout of our camp it's sure to flood."

Vinepaw ;; { Kana - hollowclan territory }
The black apprentice nodded as he followed Sootshine, already aware of the clan's lack of foliage. Being mostly rock, only few herbs grew in their immediate territory and normally Rosethorn would have to venture out further to find most of her supplies. Vinepaw sniffed around, eyes landing on the plant his dusty brown mentor was talking about. The fuzziness of the leaves shocked him as he sniffed it - plants weren't supposed to have fur!
Obeying Sootshine's instructions, Vinepaw gently nipped the plant from its base, wincing at its bitter taste. He dropped it down, then went back for more. He snipped some more from the ground and formed a small pile, looking pleased with his work. "Do you know what borage's for?" The lanky cat asked his mentor, green eyes looking at her quizzically.

Blackfang found Sparkpaw's energy refreshing, even if it could be a bit overwhelming. As his black pelt pushed through the thick underbrush that protected their camp, the older warrior guided Sparkpaw out towards the moors. They were large and open, though the cloudy skies and murky air made it a bit humid. Blackfang looked at Sparkpaw and smiled. "Ok Sparkpaw, you have to be quiet now. Stay low, scent the air, and tell me quietly if you pick up on anything"

"Oh! Okay. . . !" Sparkpaw replied in a harsh, cheerful whisper. She lifted her muzzle and opened her mouth slightly to allow any prey scent drift inside. Not a moment later, the scent of mouse hit the roof of her mouth. She fought back the urge to bounce up and down at the simple task of scenting prey. "I can smell mouse. . . !" she meowed quietly. Well, as quiet as she can get.
Without waiting for a reply, Sparkpaw dropped into a hunter's crouch and followed the mouse scent. Her ears picked up tiny scuffling and looked towards the noise, thus seeing the mouse scurrying about. Probably looking for some food to nibble on. The ginger she-cat stopped herself from purring just in time. This is so exciting! It's so hard to stay calm in thrilling things like this! Remembering her bushy tail, she kept it low but let it hover slightly above the ground so it doesn't brush up against the floor and startle the mouse. She started to creep slowly towards the mouse, an intense yet overzealous expression on her face. Sparkpaw stayed still as she watched the mouse move, enthralled by its tiny feet and its brown fur. So close now! However, she made the fatal mistake of letting the excitement get into her head and moved her front paw too fast, startling the mouse and running away. Surprised by the sudden movement, she gave chase after the mouse. She edged closer and closer, the mouse just a paw out of reach. Then, embarrassingly, she ended up tripping over her own paws and landed on her face.
"Ow!" she cried out. The young apprentice quickly lifted her gaze just in time to see the mouse escaping into its burrow. She slowly got to her paws, staring after the escaped prey. "Aw, mouse-dung! So close!" Sparkpaw looked over her shoulder at Blackfang, feeling her fur burn with embarrassment. "The mouse got away. Good thing there are plenty of other mouses, right? I'll get 'em next time!"
