BloodroseBlazestar stared. "I would assume we all know how to defend ourselves, but that's fine. I'll ask Stonefoot." Medicine cats weren't necessarily tasked with learning to fight, but still. Watching Ravenwhisper collect some more herbs, he went quiet again for a moment. "I'm sure he has some things to say to her too." Plus he just wanted to see her reaction really. He refrained from chuckling. Blaze ♡Thistlethorn seemed to know what Greywing was thinking, and frowned to himself slightly. He missed being able to pounce on mice and squirrels. Even missed getting wet in the river. He was old now though, and there was nothing he could do about that. As they slowly made their way outside, he walked with her to the kill pile. An ear twitched, and he spoke "... share something...?" There were a few pieces of prey that would sustain them both, and for some reason Thistlethorn just liked sharing with Greywing. "... don't have to..." He immediately went quiet for a few moments though, when a clanmate trotted up to the pile, not liking to talk around others.

Ravenwhisper bristled again, pretending to not have noticed the leaders tone. Stonefoot? Really? He turned, ears slightly flat against his head as he began to look for his final herb. ‘Make yourself useful- I’m looking for Horsetail.’ He told him. ‘Thin branch, grassy horsehair like leaves.’ He flicked his tail, squinting as he looked around, straightening himself up to his full height every so often to see over tall grass. He almost always slouched. He was trying to stop, he knew it wasn’t good on his back. Smokey Feather

Greywing followed Thistlethorn out of the den. She couldn't stop the purr that escaped from her as she felt the sunlight hit her pelt. Her gaze flickering around camp as she took stock who was in camp, there must be a patrol of some sorts out and about, she realized. She could see Tigerbite was sunbathing and Ashwind was outside of the warrior den. Greywing's attention flickered back towards her mate as she heard his soft voice, and she gave him an understanding nod, "I will grab us a piece," she assured him, flickering his shoulder with her tail as she walked forward to root through the pile. Greywing chose a plump vole, it would easily feed both her and Thistlethorn. She picked the vole and padded back to Thistlethorn, sitting down next to him.

BloodroseBlazestar blinked at the order before simply helping Ravenwhisper out. Horsetail, horsetail... ah! After some time of looking, he spotted the desired herb. "I think I found it." Walking over to the collection of thin herbs, he decided it was it since it looked like a horse's tail. Thus the name, right? Blaze ♡Thistlethorn had found them a nice sunny spot to sit, and purred softly when Greywing brought over a vole. He brushed his tail over her briefly before looking down at the tasty prey, though he'd of course be letting her have the first bite. That was usually how things went. If sharing, she always went first. As Thistlethorn waited patiently, watching the other cats go about their own business, he noticed Stonefoot sitting alone as usual. Now, he didn't approve at all of what the warrior did, but that didn't mean he should be isolated within his own clan for it. Maybe. The thought had unknowingly caused a deep frown to appear at some point, even as he looked away to focus back on the more important matter. Food.

‘That’s the one.’ Ravenwhisper agreed, moving over and starting to pluck at the branches. Once he’d gathered a good mouthful of all the herbs he needed, he stretched out his legs and turned, beginning to head back to camp. ‘Thankyou.’ He said, sounding muffled. Smokey Feather

BloodroseBlazestar simply nodded, walking back to camp with Ravenwhisper quietly. When they got back to camp, they were of course noticed by most of the others, though the curious looks were likely only for Ravenwhisper. Blazestar usually received wary looks, unless he was talking directly to someone. Snorting, he said "You go ahead and get yourself sorted, and talk to Flintmask, if he even wants to go. I'll go see about Stonefoot, and we'll meet at the camp entrance at sundown."

Greywing settled down next to Thistlethorn, snuggling up against him as she lied down, placing the squirrel between them. She took off a small piece to start chewing on. She followed her mate's gaze towards Stonefoot. "Poor Stonefoot," she muttered quietly to her mate. It was a horrible thing he did but she knew he wouldn't have betrayed Rosepaw without there being a good reason. It was always hard when Eclipse chose an apprentice. Her heart still panged with sadness when she thought about the day Pikepaw never returned to camp.

Blaze ♡Thistlethorn snorted a bit, biting off a piece of the prey and taking aggressive chomps. It almost looked comical, had he not been serious. After swallowing, he mumbled "Blazestar should've just banished him. Stars, he should've just given him to Eclipse. Screechfang said that he was threatening Troutpaw. A kit or an apprentice shouldn't ever be offered! Well, no one should, really." He then sighed, trying to just enjoy their meal as much as he could. Looking at his paws, he murmured "If we could make the trip, I'd say we leave. If I hadn't been so blind, I would've been gone as soon as I was a warrior. Would've tried taking you with me, of course."

[ oh my goodness, my last post was horrible. I just realized that I had a typo and I didn't put like 3 words in there. Sorry, I type faster than my brain can keep up sometimes~ ]

Greywing continued to nibble on the piece of the squirrel, eating slowly to conserve the food, even if they did not have to worry much about going to be bed hungry as elders. She still liked to follow her old habits. Her ears flickered towards Thistlethorn as he spoke, although she kept her gaze on Stonefoot. "Blazestar tries his best," she said mildly, even though his best was not great at all. She wasn't naive to think that Blazestar himself could stop Eclipse's reign of terror, it would never stop. The one time the leader tried, it was a bloodbath.
Greywing leaned against Thistlethorn, taking comfort in his presence, "It would be devastating to have to make that choice," she whispered to him, flickering her tail. To choose between an apprentice and their kit would not a choice to be made lightly and without thought. Greywing loved all of her apprentices, almost as she much as she loved her own kits. Greywing swished her tail over Thistlethorn's shoulders, "Hush, you know Blazestar doesn't like that kind of talk," she murmured to him with a meaningful look. She understood what he meant though, she would have easily left with Thistlethorn when they were younger. They could have raised her family somewhere safe.

Blaze ♡(So sorry. I've been busy, but now I'll be able to post regularly again) Thistlethorn didn't seemed to care if anyone heard, saying "I just wish we were all able to just... do something. We have nothing but our teeth and claws, and our spirits certainly aren't enough." He wasn't necessarily complaining about life though, more or less. After all, of things weren't the way they were, he likely wouldn't be sitting where he was with who he was sitting with. "I know Blazestar is trying, but he knows where he's going after he loses his last life. He deserves it." Okay, he didn't really mean that last sentence, but Thistlethorn was just... mad! Eventually, he had eaten his fill of their prey, leaving the rest to Greywing. When they were both finished, he kicked his lips and yawned. "Anyway, I'm ready when you are." He didn't show it, but he was excited to go for a walk outside of camp. He wanted to have a look around, be able to stretch his legs like when he was younger, able to go out much more frequently. "Starclan knows we could use the exercise." Though they obviously wouldn't be able to be out as long as any of the younger cats. He just hoped they didn't run into Blazestar while out, knowing he hadn't come back yet.

Ravenwhisper bowed his head slightly. ‘Yes, Blazestar.’ He replied, before he sighed, turning away and quietly making the trek back across camp. His tail low, he dragged himself back into the medicine den. He was just slightly too big for the entrance. He placed down all of his collected herbs, swiftly organised them, then turned his head to call into the sleeping area of the den. ‘Flintmask? You here? We need to discuss something.’ Blaze ♡

Greywing flickered her tail tail and shifted to lean against Thistlethorn. A gesture that was meant to offer comfort quietly as she listened to her mate. She had faint displeased look on her face but she didn't condemn her mate for his words. She had the same reservation and hopes that her mate did, even though she didn't voice them often which was unlike her. She felt wary of stating her feeling about their traditions especially after the bloodshed of Blazestar's first leaf-bare as leader and then with Pikepaw dying. "I know," she breathed a simple agreement with everything he said and brushed her tail against his in comfort. Their clan was cruel but who could stand up to Eclipse? Greywing nibbled on the rest of the rabbit, chewing slowly since they were not in a hurry. Her tail flickering and she smiled, looking to him, "We can go now," she purred and pushed herself to her paws, stretching slightly to ease out her stiff muscles. She laughed at his words, "Yes without a doubt," she meowed, padding towards the camp entrance, "We haven't been in the forest since the season has started," she pointed out. It was disappointing that being elder had started to diminish their time and ability to leave camp whenever.

Bloodrose (ah sorry, I replied to Smokey at the end of my shift and I just forgot to come back online to respond to you xD whoops )
Flintmask was still curled into a ball of fur with his nest. He was felt comfortable and warm. The young tom knew he should get up and start working on checking the herbs, just in case some of them were going bad; however, he didn't get a chance to be lazy often. His ears twitched as he heard the rustling of the den entrance, indicating that someone had entered. He lifted his head and was pushing himself to his paws as he heard his mentor's voice. Flintmask responded almost immediately knowing better to keep his mentor waiting, "I am here," he meowed, slipping out of their sleeping area and into the main part of the medicine cat. There was light frown on his face that formed as he took notice of Ravenwhisper's tone and statement. "What is happening?" he asked, flickering his tail. It was the only gesture that gave away his nervousness. He wasn't aware of what his mentor waited to discuss, he was hoping it was as simple as going to gather more catmint. Flintmask had a sinking suspicion that wasn't what his mentor was going to be discussing.

Ravenwhisper heaved a quiet sigh, moving to sit down, curling his tail over his paws. ‘Blazestar wishes to make the trip to the First Cave, And wishes to leave tonight.’ He flicked an ear, quietly licking his paw and running it a few times over one of his large ears. ‘Would you like to come with us? Any extra experience is worthwhile.’ He knew his apprentice wasn’t exactly of apprentice age anymore, and he worked consistently to treat him as the grown cat that he was, but he didn’t quite have Ravenwhispers life experience yet. ‘You don’t have to, of course.’ Though he’d prefer the company. He wasn’t a huge fan of Stonefoot or Blazestar, and didn’t want to be alone with them for long.

[ No problem! c: ]
Flintmask sat down near Ravenwhisper and titled his head towards the tom, listening carefully. It wasn't often that his mentor talked about something this serious. He made a soft noise of surprise before frowning, "Did he tell you why?" he asked in a soft, hesitant voice. He knew it probably wasn't their business to know why the leader was going to make a trip to the First Cave. Flintmask flickered his tail as he thought about it for a moment or two; although he knew he would travel with his mentor and the rest of the patrol without a doubt. "I will always go with you, Ravenwhisper," Flintmask pointed out with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. He would follow this mentor anywhere, honestly even if he was sure that sometimes his presence annoyed the quiet medicine cat. He enjoyed the older tom's company.

Blaze ♡Thistlethorn walked right beside Greywing, quiet until they left camp, mostly because they had to get past other cats. Once outside, he sighed. "I guess all we can do is just enjoy what we have as much as we can, until we can't." As they slowly made their way out into the forest, he looked around slowly as if seeing everything for the first time. It did seem like it, having not been out in a while. "I miss the days when I thought the forest was boring and nothing special." Meaning his younger days, when he was out so much that forest didn't seem so... foreign. Taking his time with his mate to walk, he went quiet again for a minute or two. "I remember when we would go hunt together, and I'd always manage to "lose" some prey I'd caught, and we'd stay out longer looking for it. Away from everyone else, with nothing but us and the forest." His look became almost wistful, but he collected himself with a soft purr. "I'll never mind how things are if I've got you with me though."
