She frowned, understanding what it was like to lose friends and even family. "I'm sorry, I'll do my best to help. I understand how you feel." Charlie meowed softly, trying to comfort the leader.

Yarrowpelt | Near two-leg place | @silkstorm The Mindless OpalYarrowpelt tilted his head curiously at the kittypet. She must have been pretty, before her twolegs left her, he thought, but, now, her pelt is so ragged and her frame so thin, she would fit down a rabbit hole! Smiling at her welcomingly, he turned to Arrowstar, "Mallowpaw's training is almost complete β I believe it will soon be time for her assessment," the silvery tom mewed, "After Charlie's settled in camp, I would be happy to take over her training." Mallowpaw | Falconclan medicine den Mallowpaw darted to the herb store and hooked her claws into a dried borage leaf. Trotting back to the sick cats, she saw Honeykit crouched near the entrance to the den, shivering. Pressing her noise to the kit's head, she recoiled in horror. Her fur was fiery and warm. "Here you are, little one," she said softly, chewing the borage into a pulp before placing it in front of the little she-kit. Honeykit mewled plaintively at the putrid taste, but Mallowpaw prodded her until she swallowed the entire herb. Purring, she picked the kit up by her scruff and laid her down in an empty nest.

(Tagging - The Mindless Opal, yarrowpelt, UnsightlyHeretic831) Foxpounce sighed, wincing as he shifted slightly. "Not much more than that and these scrapes," He replied, motioning to the shallow wounds that ran down the right side of his head and body. They had stopped bleeding already, with the marigold poultice his sister had spread onto the wounds. "Except," The young Warrior paused slightly, looking uneasy as he glanced at Pebblepaw. "If you could... Tell Birchleaf that I'm having difficulty hearing on that side as well." He motioned to his tattered right ear, "Something hurts, I think I might of damaged something."
Maplerose sighed as she grabbed a bundle of moss and followed the Apprentice. "Thank you for helping, Rainpaw," She meowed, as she started building nests. The Leader's Den was the smallest of the three spaces they'd have to deal with, but they'd get a decent amount of nests inside. "I know it's not the most glamorous of jobs, but it needs to be done."
"I'll wake you soon," Birchleaf promised Icespark, before turning to address Mallowpaw. "Don't use too much of that Borage," She instructed, eyeing Honeykit, "It's a precious herb with a potential kitting on the way. Make a poultice of equal amounts Borage, Lavender and Feverfew. It should be more potent and it will help stave off chills as well." That said, she turned back to Tinykit and started moving his head, looking into his eyes.

Mallowpaw | FalconClan Medicine Den
"Alright, Birchleaf." She nodded happily, giving Honeykit the herbs the older cat had specified. Licking her jaws, she yawned and crouched beneath Honeykit's nest. The younger kit seemed to relax with her there. I'll just stay till she falls asleep, Mallowpaw thought, then I'll help Birchleaf more... But the stress and worry of looking for her Clanmates had exhausted Mallowpaw. Sighing, she curled her tail over her paws. Minutes later, she and Honeykit trailed away into a deep, undisturbed sleep.

Arrowstar | Falconclan territory, near the two-leg place | ππππππππππArrowstar dipped his head to the she-cat. "Thank you," he said softly. His gaze moved to Yarrowpelt for a moment. "I would like to watch her assessment," the leader said to the tom cat. His gaze looked over Charlie for a moment. "We will wait on training Charlie for a while, we can share the duties.. I don't know if we will even stay in this territory." Pebblepaw | Falconclan Elder's Den | Lycaonia Pebblepaw sniffed over the tom cat's tattered ear for a moment before nodding. "Of course," the young she-cat said softly. "I'll make a report to Birchleaf and return with any herbs she wants you to take." He said quietly. "Do you need anything else? I could get you some wet moss if you're thirsty?" (After Foxpounce has healed, would you be open to him mentoring Pebblepaw?)

The once-kittypet was genuinely confused by the next words that came out of the tall tom's mouth. Assessment...training? What on Earth? she thought with a raise of one of her brows. Charlie looked around carefully, unsure of what to do next.

((Sure ^^ I'm quite fond of your Pebblepaw as a character)) (Tagging - The Mindless Opal) Foxpounce smiled softly at the young Apprentice. "Not right now, thank you Pebblepaw," He replied, mouth twisting wryly, "I think I've had enough of water in general for the meantime." He sighed deeply as he tried to get a little more comfortable in the slightly damp nest. His leg hurt the worst, he couldn't move it at all and it shot pain through his shoulder every time he tried. If it was broken, it would be weeks before he could hunt and help his clan.

Arrowstar | Falconclan Territory | ππππππππππThe leader looked around, hoping Echoblaze would soon return. He wanted to get back to finding his clanmates but the kittypet needed to eat first. Pebblepaw Falconclan Camp | Lycaonia Pebblepaw nodded to Foxpounce before she ducked out of the elder's den and made her way across the camp to the Medicine Cat's den. She peaked her head in, careful not to step on any of the other cats in the den. "Birchleaf," she called softly to the medicine cat. "Foxpounce has some cuts, there's marigold on them already.. He can't hear out of one ear.." She paused. "And one of his front legs is broken."

She noticed how he seemed to be on edge, probably wanting to keep looking for his family and friends. "I can wait here if you want." Charlie suggested with a twitch of her whiskers. Arrowstar had already been kind enough to offer her a position in his clan, and didn't want to keep him waiting.

"I'm going to head further into the woods," he told Yarrowpelt. "Stay with her. After she's eaten, return with her and Echoblaze to camp... If you have time to hunt please do so."

Charlie nodded, glad she could ease the tom a bit. "It's no problem." she realized how messy her fur must have looked, and sat down to begin grooming it. The bicolor tabby drew her tongue across her fur, occasionally spitting out some dirt.

Dipping his head to Arrowstar, Yarrowpelt flicked his tail at Charlie. He padded to a bush and crawled underneath, turning around to look at Charlie. "Were you planning on staying in the rain?" He teased, a light smirk on his face. Curling his tail over his paws, he settled down in wait for Echoblaze to return. "What have you been living off of?" He exclaimed, staring at her lithe frame. "You're as small as a rat!"

Echoblaze ended the life of the scrappy magpie. After having searched the forest nearly to no avail, he had come across the creature, ever so carefully looking for a meal. The obnoxious thing was normally a hard bird to catch, but after that storm and its inability to eat, it was sloppy and a relatively easy kill for the tom, though it had put up quite the fight. The scarlet cat picked up the bird and made haste back toward where Charlie, Arrowstar, and -unbeknownst to him- Yarrowpelt. A light drizzle had picked up now, but it didn't seem like a storm would be coming, thankfully. He scented Yarrowpelt and the kittypet, but couldn't seem to find Arrowstar's scent fresh. He padded into the little clearing to see the warrior crouched under a bush and the kittypet grooming herself. He set down the bird for Charlie and looked over at the other tom, "Yarrowpelt," he lifted his tail in greeting, "where's Arrowstar gone off to?"

Willowshade started grooming Rosekit further down her body now, having finished with the kit's upper half. She paused as she felt a small dip along her kit's spine. She frowned. "Birchleaf," she began, worry pulsing up again, "this doesn't seam normal. There's a small dip in Rosekit's back." It was small and the queen almost hadn't noticed it, but she was certain it was there.
Rosekit whisker's twitched in her sleep. Her chest was heavy with what she thought was fatigue and she had to crack open her mouth to breathe a little better. Not quite satisfied, but not conscious enough to make more of an effort, she let it be. Her breathing was a bit of a wheeze now that her mouth was open enough to make noise.

Charlie frowned at Yarrowpelt's question, her ears flicking back. "Trust me, you'd really rather not know." she huffed, casting a glance at her thin sides. She'd mostly been eating roadkill and leftover house folk food in large metal cans, but it wasn't nearly as good as the moist food her own two legs had given her before they left. She lifted her head at Echoblaze as he approached, thankful he didn't take too long. Dipping her head in thanks, she curled up underneath a tree and began to eat the scrawny magpie. It was delicious, considering she hadn't eaten in a while.

Streamwhisper was padding around the forest. She enjoyed the beautiful scenery and she also loved swimming that was where she was headed now. She always liked how quiet it was but she also wanted company.

Yarrowpelt | Near two-leg den | AvalonYarrowpelt stood and padded to the tom. "Arrowstar's gone to search the forest," he mews, flicking his tail in the direction the FalconClan leader had taken. "He said to take Charlie back to camp, once she's eaten, and try to hunt on the way."

Echoblaze was glad to see the thin cat dig into the prey before looking back over at Yarrowpelt as the tom answered him. "We can try to hunt, but I don't know if we'll be able to find anything. The forest is pretty barren after the storm," he responded. "When we get to camp, we can see if anycat's strong enough to go find Arrowstar and search with him." he added. I'd offer to go myself, but if Willowshade's waiting for me.... I need to know if she had any luck finding Rosekit. His ears shot up at that thought and he turned to Charlie, "Did you by chance see a white and tan marbled tabby kit? She has green eyes like mine and is only a few moons." He explained, realizing this she-cat may have run into the little cat. He felt ashamed for not have asked sooner. Rosekit could be waiting for him, cold and alone. The thought horrified him. If only he'd known she was at camp with Willowshade, his mind would have been put at ease.

Charlie frowned a bit, looking up from the nearly finished bird. "I don't recall seeing a kit, but I think I heard a little voice a little while ago. It did sound like a kit though." she added, hoping it would reassure the tom a bit. She wondered if it was the tabby's daughter, and felt a pang of guilt for not searching for the cat who had made the calls. "If you'd like, I can help you look for her..." she offered.

Echoblaze shook his head, "Thank you, but let's get you to camp first. On the way there, could you describe where you heard it? I'll check in with Willowshade at camp before going out again to find her. Arrowstar set our priority at getting you to camp." He knew it would do no cat any good to run off blindly right now, and he hadn't seen Willowshade for a while now. She be wondering where the tom was. He needed to prioritize. Leaders orders, Willowshade, then searching.

She grabbed a few of the magpie's bones gently in her mouth for later, as if she had a plan for them, then stood readily. "Alrigh, whe-e oo?" (alright, where too?) she asked softly, her voice muffled by the little bones.

(Tagging - The Mindless Opal, Avalon) Birchleaf sighed, scrubbing a paw across her face. "Alright," She said, turning to Pebblepaw first. "There's not much we can do about his hearing," She said, striding to her store, "Either he regains it when the wound heals or he doesn't." She grabbed a couple of leaves, setting them down in front of the Apprentice. "These are Oak and Marigold leaves. Chew them up and spread them on the wounds around Foxpounce's ear. They should prevent infection from setting in," Birchleaf paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, tell Foxpounce that I'll be along as soon as possible to deal with his leg. Thank you and off you go." She motioned Pebblepaw back out of the den, before moving over to Willowshade. Birchleaf carefully licked over the area the queen had motioned to, huffing at the slight dip she felt. Carefully making sure the kit was sleeping, she gently manipulated the area with her paws. She frowned deeply, thinking. "Willowshade," She finally murmured, looking the queen in the eye, "This... isn't good news. I think it may be something I've only ever heard of, not seen. I think Rosekit has broken her back." She winced at the words, looking sadly down at the kit. "I'll try everything I can," She promised Willowshade, "But you should be aware that there may be no cure for this."
Maplerose chuckled, eyeing the younger cat with tired amusement. "It's good that you think that way, Rainpaw," She said, carefully setting up the last nest they could fit in the den, "FalconClan is going to need that attitude in the coming days." Her mind immediately went to her brother. She would much rather be with him at the moment, than making up nests. But the Clan came first. Foxpounce would be taken care of now that Birchleaf was back, her hovering about would do no good.

Pebblepaw | Falconclan Camp | Lycaonia Pebblepaw nodded to the medicine cat before she picked up the herbs carefully in her mouth and made her way back across the camp. She nosed her way back into the elders den, her eyes looking over at Foxpounce for a moment. She sat down, setting the leaves down. "I'm going to chew these up, and spread them on your ear." She explained before she began to chew them up. She slowly leaned in after chewing, and carefully began spreading it over the tom's ear.
Rainpaw | Falconclan Camp | Lycaonia Rainpaw worked quickly, trying to make sure the nests were soft and comfortable. "I'm scared," the apprentice said quietly. "That Arrowstar will disband Falconclan or make us move far away." He admitted quietly, tail flicking nervously. "I don't want to leave our home," he said softly, looking at the Warrior.

(Tagging - The Mindless Opal) Foxpounce lifted his head from where he had been dozing slightly as Pebblepaw re-entered the den. He smiled up at the Apprentice, submitting to her ministrations with no complaints. The mixture stung just slightly, but compared to the pain he was in earlier it was barely noticeable. Besides, healing was likely to be a big part of his future. "Thank you for this, Pebblepaw," He rumbled, tail curling around to brush against her in thanks, "I know this isn't usually something a Warrior Apprentice has to do." A spark of amusement entered his eyes. "I hope us Warriors aren't going to lose such a promising Apprentice to Birchleaf's clutches now that you've had a taste for healing," He teased, obviously tired but in a much better mood than before.
Maplerose moved to Rainpaw's side, purring slightly as she pressed against him. "It's alright, little one," She murmured, rubbing her chin over the top of his head. "Arrowstar would never disband FalconClan," She replied, voice certain, "Not with so many of us still breathing. Much of our Clan is missing, be we are still here and we have each other." She looked away for a moment before looking back. "We might have to move," She admitted, sorrow in her voice, "But our home is with our Clan, Rainpaw. If it comes down to it, we'll find a new place to settle and our Clan will thrive once more."

(So, I think I've decided Rosekit's going to die. The tree broke her spine, paralyzing her lower body, but a shard of the fractured vertebrae pierced her lung(s) -since she's so small and fragile, being a developing kitten and all, it's possible- and they're/one is slowly filling with blood. So, yeah, that's fun)
Willowshade met the medicine cat's look, their eyes locking. She followed her gaze down to the kit as the queen was informed of this. She gulped, "Thank you Birchleaf, but, starclan, I hope it's just temporary." She watched the little cat's rise and fall of her flank, thinking about how Rosekit could never become a warrior or have kits or even just live a normal life. - Echoblaze waited as Charlie finished up and the she-cat gathered the bones. He nodded in the direction of camp, "We're heading to Falconclan's camp, your new home," That is, if Arrowstar decides to keep us here. But I doubt it, there's not enough prey here to sustain the clan anymore and the forest won't recover for much time. He thought of all their clanmates they may never share tongues with again, Death clings to this territory.

She nodded, her ears perking at Echoblaze's use of the words 'new home.' Charlie was grateful she didn't have to be alone anymore, resented as a stray because of her house folks doings. The bicolor she-cat glanced around at the surroundings one more time before padding over to the Falconclan warrior, her tail held high with excitement. "I'll follow."

Pebblepaw | Lycaonia Pebblepaw worked silently, and once it was done she sat back, letting out a small purr to the warrior as she sat back, checking over his other wounds. "Birchleaf said she would come check in on you as soon as she can," she said softly, wrapping her tail around her paws. "I was born to be a Warrior, Foxpounce!" She said eagerly, she hadn't even thought about what the future would hold. What if they never found her mentor? Who would Arrowstar give her as a new one? Would he give her a new one? "Do you need anything else, Foxpounce?"
Rainpaw
Rainpaw purred a bit as the warrior pressed against him. It was comforting and he wondered if this was what it would have felt like if his and Pebblepaw's mother had lived longer. He nodded slightly. "I hope we can find a place as good as this.." He said softly, but he didn't know if he would be able to leave this place behind.. His mentor, Flashstrike, was still missing.. And his mother was buried here.

(Tagging - The Mindless Opal, Avalon) ((Noco - Maybe send them a message warning first? But it would help a bit so we don't have to keep trying to include characters that just aren't responding. Avalon - Alright, I'll have Birchleaf respond accordingly. Poor Rosekit, though the drama will be quite interesting.)) Maplerose sighed, pressing against Rainpaw firmly for a moment more before moving away and shaking out her bright red fur. "If it comes to it, we'll find a place where we can be happy," She assured him, smiling softly, "And StarClan will follow us there, our loved ones with them." She nudged the Apprentice towards the entrance to the den. "Come on," She meowed, leading the way out, "We still have the Elder's Den and the Medicine Cat Den to re-do the nests in. I've got both cleared already. We'll rest a bit afterwards and, if you're up for it, I'll take you hunting."
Foxpounce sighed as Pebblepaw finished applying the herbs. "I think..." He started slowly, eyeing the Apprentice, "That you will make a fine Warrior, Pebblepaw." He resisted the urge to rub a paw over his ear as the mixture itched at the wounds. "For now though," He continued, setting his head down, "I think I'm fine. If you don't mind, I think I'll take a nap before Birchleaf gets here. Hopefully my leg isn't too bad and I can get out and do something." He yawned widely, fangs flashing in the low light as his eyes started to drift closed. "Thank you, Pebblepaw," He rumbled, fluffy tail curling to drape over his face.
Birchleaf frowned once more, tilting her head to the side. "I don't like the sound of her breathing," The Medicine Cat admitted, getting to her paws and moving to her store. She grimaced at the lack of Juniper, but managed to dig up a scraggly bit of Coltsfoot which would hopefully work to ease Rosekit's breathing. 'Some Ragweed added in for energy,' Birchleaf thought to herself, gathering it up, 'A touch of Chamomile soothes the mind and just a bit of Dandelion leaf, to ease any pain.' Nodding to herself, she gathered up the four herbs and took them to Willowshade, setting them down in front of the queen. "When she wakes next, chew these up and give them to her," Birchleaf murmured, "I'm going to gather up what I need to deal with Foxpounce's leg." She brushed her cheek briefly with Willowshade's in comfort, before padding back to her stores with a sigh.
