(Hey everyone!) Rosepaw/kit padded away from the meeting. When she saw Darkstep, she scurried over and mewed, "Congratulations, Darkstep! I think you'll be a great deputy." Her ears twitched with quiet joy. He must feel so lucky, Rosepaw/kit thought as she gazed at him. This cat would allow her to go out for herbs in the future! She felt very happy, and this was unusual for Rosepaw/kit. She was used to keeping her happiness at a minimum.

Tinyheart
Tinyheart watched as Darkstep was congratulated by his fellow clanmates, and flicked his tail in enjoyment of watching his new apprentice walk up to the new deputy. Tinyheart padded over eventually, gving his own words of approval to the tom.
As he watched Darkstep leave to follow Mistystar into her den, Tinyheart turned to Rosepaw. ”So, it will be a while until next half-moon where I will be able to make you an official medicine cat apprentice, but in the mean time, why don’t we go for a walk around the territory and show you some of the best places to get herbs?” He smiled softly, hopefully he would be a good mentor.

((So I keep reading Rosepaw/kit as Rose pocket for some reason? And I’m pretty sure she’s still a ‘paw, since she’s above six moons, she just hasn’t been made an official med cat apprentice even though she is an official apprentice. I dunno though lmao))

Darkstep
Nodding a quick farewell to Mistystar, Darkstep padded out of her den and back into the clearing. Looking around, he tensed. What does he do now? Is it too late to assign patrols? He shifts his weight from one paw to the other, looking around.
Eventually, he just decides to ask around. ”Would anyone like to go on a hunting patrol with me?”
He flattened his ears nervously. Was that too casual? Sure, he’s deputy now, but that doesn’t mean he has to be proper and formal all the time, right? Mistystar made it look so easy when she was the deputy!
((I’m not sure if Darkstep would have been alive at that time but I’m gonna stick with it))

Rosepaw smiled. "Of course! I'd really like that." She responded to Tinyheart. "All I know is that poppy seeds help cats sleep or rid further pain. Is that correct?" Rosepaw asked.

Stonefire saw the worry in Darkstep p’s eyes he padded up to him.” Don’t worry, it gets better.” He whispered and put his tail tip on his shoulder.” Sure I’ll come.” He said louder so there’s could hear.

Plumfur lifted her head. "I will," She replied and stood up. Once she was done stretching, she padded over to Darkstep. "What a way to ask," She meowed, her tail flicking with amusement. "Whenever you're ready, and when the others volunteer." She looked around, to see if anyone would speak up for the patrol.

Russetpelt got up.” Sure.” He called out to the group of cats. When he arrived he dipped his head to the deputy.
Stonefire smiled. The new deputy was already being respected.

Tinyheart
”That’s exactly right! You’ll be a full medicine cat before you can say ‘catmint’!” He purred, trotting out of camp at a leisurely pace so that Rosepaw could keep up.
”Speaking of which, do you know what catmint is used for? It’s okay if you don’t know, that’s why I’m here to help.” He looked over his shoulder, smiling softly.
Turning left, he began to head towards an assortment of pretty flowers. Hopefully this will be a good place to start.

Rosepaw thought for a few heartbeats. Finally, she said, "I think they are used for whitecough and greencough," She guessed, remembering seeing Tinyheart using it during a small bout of whitecough. She followed him to watch him sort what looked like daisies. She was fascinated by this and watched silently.

Darkstep
The tom’s eyes widened a bit at all of the cats who came up to him, all with different approaches. Giving a more relaxed smile as he realized these cats were here to support him, he flicked his tail for them to follow.
”I was thinking we could hunt around the Uprooted Path. There should be a few scavenging mice there at this time.” As he spoke, he began to feel more confident, holding himself higher with each step until he looked big and sophisticated.
He began to near a huge fallen log, and slowed to a halt as he turned to face his companions. ”We’ll all start together here at this fallen oak, and then we can split a bit later on. We’ll meet back up here at dawn.” He looked up at the sky. The moon was making its gradual descent to the far horizon. Hunting till dawn should give them plenty of time to catch a mouse or two.
He gave a final flick of his tail to dismiss the group. His paws tingled with excitement. He liked being in charge, it gave him a sense of importance.
It might also have to do with the satisfaction of proving his late father wrong. He sunk his claws in the ground at the thought.

Plumfur left and began to trek forward. She tested the air, and when she finished, she followed a mouse scent. But then it scented her immediately and scurried away. She scowled and softly padded away, continuing to scent the air now and then.

Tinyheart
He nodded happily as he sifted his paws through the different flowers. ”Ah, here we go. This,” he gestured to the daisy-like flowers, ”is feverfew. As the name suggests, it helps reduce fevers.”
Suddenly, he remembered numerous times of him mistaking the flowers as daisies during his time as an apprentice. He wanted to make sure that history wouldn’t repeat itself. ”They look like daisies at first glance, but the petals are shorter and more rounded at the ends, and there are a lot less on each flower. It’s more obvious side by side. I’ll show you when we get back to camp.”

Rosepaw nodded in response, observing the flower. " Just as its name suggests." She murmured, finally understanding the name. It's beautiful, she thought as Tinyheart showed the plant to her.

(Lol I just found out rosepaw has the same coloured fur as Russetpelt.)
Stonefire nodded, he saw plumfur’s disappointment. He scented a vole. He dropped into his hunters crouch and watched his pawsteps, when he spotted the vole nibbling at seed he jumped out and with one swipe of his huge claw he killed it. His eyes filled with satisfaction as he scratched some dirt over it.
Russetpelt was less successful, his mind was filled with his daughter’s wish, to be a medicine cat. He spotted a frog and leaped at it. He missed and sighed as he watched the frog leap away.

(Oh wow)
Plumfur scented a shrew and stalked forward expertly. Her eyes rested on the small creature, and she crept closer. Then, she pounced. The shrew was about to start a shrill squeal when she gave it a quick bite to the back of the neck. Plumfur's eyes gleamed with triumph. She buried the fresh-kill and looked for more prey.

When Russetpelt spotted a mouse he stalked it more carefully, he then pounced and bit the piece of prey on its neck. He looked down his mouth watering, he covered the prey with dirt and walked away.

Tinyheart
His pelt glowed with warmth despite the cool fog around him as he led Rosepaw to a clump of leaves. This is dock, which is used for scratches. You chew it up into a pulp and then massage the pulp into the wound to help soothe it. It does sting when it’s first applied though.”
He decided he should take a few leaves back, and carefully nipped the stems. ”When you’re collecting herbs, you want to make sure you don’t bite off too much of the stalk, or the plant might not grow back. You can give it a try, if you’d like. Just don’t take too much!” Darkstep
The deputy quickly scented a bird and followed its scent. Reaching up behind it, he took the jump, only to land just a few inches short. As the bird began to take flight, Darkstep angrily flashed a paw up to get, and managed to make contact. Growling, he pinned it down and snapped its neck.
He looked down at his catch. Feathers were everywhere. There was a tear in its wing. He shook his head. It wasn’t his fault the bird was fragile. And it was just shedding its down. He quietly thanked StarClan and covered it with dirt to retrieve later.

Rosepaw leaned forward and carefully nipped off a stalk. "Is this good?" She asked Tinyheart, hoping she could please her mentor. She had hoped it was good enough, and she hadn't killed the plant off for good.

Tinyheart
”Yes, perfect! You’re a natural at this! I can’t wait to show you how to mix herbs and treat injuries!”He paused. ”Minor injuries, like cracked pads, achy joints. Hopefully there won’t be battle injuries any time soon.” His gaze darkened for a moment, before turning back to normal.
Arriving at a tree, Tinyheart looked up. ”This is an alder tree. There aren’t a lot here, I don’t think they grow well in this climate, so they are very special. The bark can be chewed to help toothaches. Other than that, there isn’t much it has. But,” he flicked his tail around the small clearing, ”it’s a good place to find roots and other plants with similar needs. And the prey runs well here!”
((I’m gonna retire for the night, I fell asleep three times writing this. Oops. Good night you guys))

Mistystar padded out of her den, she scanned the clearing, her gaze landed on Cedarmask. She padded over to the crazy cat.” Greetings.” She meowed with a nod.
