[ yup, nine for me ^^ ] Hareleap » Concern for the two apprentices kept him in place. Usually Hareleap did his best to avoid the medicine den, but this time was an exception. He was worried for Antpaw and Hazelpaw, namely Antpaw. The poor tomcat was splayed out flat on his stomach, breathing heavy yet shallow, and he hadn’t said a single word since arriving to Gingerlily’s den. A part of Hareleap wondered if Antpaw would even recover, but Gingerlily didn’t seem overly concerned over the younger tom. If she wasn’t that worried then surely that meant the apprentice would pull throw given some time and rest. Hareleap was going to hold on to that thought rather than be negative about it all.
The brown tabby was pulled free from his thoughts when he heard Hazelpaw pipe up with a question. He glanced down at her with bright green eyes, head tilting to the side as he thought her question over. ”I don’t see why not,” he replied in a soft voice. ”If not for the dust storm, which no cat even saw coming, I’m sure the two of you would have been fine.” Even if they were apprentices and apprentices usually weren’t permitted out of camp without a warrior, the two of them were almost warriors as it was. Hareleap didn’t think a punishment would make sense in this case, and he felt like Applestar would agree with him there. If anything, withholding their warrior names would be way too extreme of a punishment.
Hareleap offered a warm smile toward Hazelpaw, wanting to reassure her that they’d still get to be warriors. He saw no reason to keep them as apprentices for any longer than they needed, and even if they had gotten hurt while out there, it really wasn’t any fault of their own.

Hazelpaw felt a bit calmer at the deputy reassuring her warrior duties. As much as she would love to have kits, warrior duties became first. “What about Antpaw, will he be okay?” Hazelpaw quietly asked Gingerlily, keeping her voice low so Antpaw couldn’t hear her speaking. Hazelpaw would be disappointed if Antpaw would be delayed for his injuries; it would be her fault and she would become a warrior before him.

Gingerlily » At this point Antpaw seemed to have calmed down. His breathing was growing steadier, and it was obvious he was now drowsy after everything that had happened. The medicine cat had half a mind to give him some poppy seeds, but with him being as drowsy as he already looked. she decided against it. Giving him something to make him sleep might make him fall too deeply into a slumber, and while he needed the rest, Gingerlily didn't want him sleeping too deeply.
But that left Hazelpaw. The young molly was still active, talking and trying to hold up conversations. She seemed to be doing better as well, but the calico grabbed a poppy seed from her stores and brought it over to rest in front of Hazelpaw. "I'm sure he'll be fine. As long as he stays warm and gets some rest, he'll be back to his old self in no time." She glanced over at Antpaw, the tomcat now looking to have fallen asleep. She then turned her attention back to Hazelpaw. "Do you mind taking a poppy seed? You'll be fine as well, and rest is sometimes the best remedy after such things," she pointed out kindly.

“Yeah, um, that would be nice,” Hazelpaw mewled, trying to be polite, but eyeing Antpaw as if Hareleap or Rippletide was about to pounce on him. She wasn’t quite sure if she or Antpaw would ever be back to them old selves; that had been terrifying. Hazelpaw was tired, freezing, and choking still, so she decided that maybe rest would be good. She kept her eyes on Antpaw though. She couldn’t take them away. She felt as if she had to protect him.
{Okay, so maybe Antpaw and Hazelpaw could have a bit of romance in older days. Not saying kits, but maybe love?}

im down to try ant and hazel out if you want! ant's a bit of a jerk, though xD if he ever does get feelings, it does take him a while, so i won't guarantee anything, but we can see where it goes~ Gingerlily » As a medicine cat it was part of Gingerlily's duties to notice subtle changes in her patients. Beyond the molly still looking wet, which Gingerlily could take care of that, she seemed to be doing fine physically. She could talk, which meant her airways weren't in trouble of closing up, and other than perhaps feeling sore, Hazelpaw didn't appear to have any outer wounds. All Gingerlily could really prescribe her after the thyme and poppy was rest. Even still, that didn't mean everything was fine in the molly's mind. Whatever had happened must have been terrifying for the two; getting caught out in an unexpected dust storm would surely be nerve wracking. Most cats didn't make it out as easily as Hazelpaw and Antpaw did. They were lucky.
With a quick glance toward Rippletide and Hareleap to tell them they were dismissed, Gingerlily took a seat beside Hazelpaw. She pressed her fur against the apprentice's still wet pelt before leaning down to rasp her tongue along the female's brown coat. "If something's on your mind, I'm here to listen," the calico murmured softly, motherly really. She knew the importance of a clear consciousness. That was just as important as being physically healthy.

{Okay! I think Hazel’s pretty patient(ish) so maybe! My cousin’s here, so gotta get off, but this is it for the night!}
Hazelpaw felt herself crumpling to the ground, and then the med cat brushed her fur against Hazelpaw’s, calming her. “Well,” Hazelpaw started, glancing over at Antpaw. She had always had a small crush on him, but he was too mean for her, but now, she felt a bit different about him. Like, maybe the dust storm had gotten something into him that made him realize he wasn’t the best. No one was the best. Hazelpaw was desperately trying to explain her odd feelings to the med cat, quietly; she didn’t want Antpaw to hear.

alright, like i said, we can just see how it plays out - i can add hazel having a crush on him to the front if anything okay, have fun! c': Gingerlily » Between grooming the apprentice's pelt to dry and warm her up, she looked Hazlepaw over with round and soft copper eyes. She didn't press for anything beyond the "well", simply waiting to see if the apprentice would open up to her about anything. Gingerlily understood if Hazelpaw would rather keep her thoughts to herself, but she was patient, and if the apprentice needed somebody to listen, Gingerlily was all ears. Or, well, as much ears as she could be considering hers were folded flatly against her cranium.

{My cousin’s not here yet } Hazelpaw felt a bit better to get her feelings of Antpaw off her chest, and thought that Gingerlily was a good cat to go to if she needed to get anything out of her system again. “I know that he would never like me, but I feel as if something has changed him from the dust storm,” Hazelpaw explained. She hadn’t seen him back to hisself yet, but she suspected that he might act differently. Of course he would, but something, something would’ve changed fully about him. She didn’t know what...

oof, hopefully she'll be there soon Gingerlily » A slow purr began to build within the medicine cat's chest as she continued to rasp her tongue over Hazelpaw's fur. Her movements were soft and gentle, mimicking that of a mother cleaning her kit after a long day of adventure and play. Obviously Hazelpaw wasn't her kit, but to Gingerlily every cat within the Clan was her kit. Even if she may never have kits of her own she was incredibly nurturing and motherly, a soft natured feline with the gentle yearn to watch as others grew and lived out their lives to the fullest.
She slowed her grooming as Hazelpaw began to talk, speaking up about the other apprentice who was now deep asleep not too far away. Gingerlily listened, and it didn't take long for the calico to feel an amused smile pull at her lips. "Things like this can change any cat," Gingerlily mewed. "While only time can tell if he really did change, it never hurts to hope for something if it's in the best interest for the cats involved."

{She’s like in the end of Tampa, almost to Miami}
Hazelpaw continued to feel warmth by her medicine cat, sucking in her wise words. “Do you think he’ll be, well, less cocky?” Hazelpaw asked. She had never liked his cockiness, but she knew that her medicine cat couldn’t tell the future, so she wasn’t sure why she asked Gingerlily that.

oooo, is that pretty close or? im not that familiar with florida xD Gingerlily » For a second Gingerlily pulled away from Hazelpaw and set a warm, thoughtful glance toward Antpaw. She remembered even back when the red tomcat was in the nursery as a kit, just as feisty and snappish as he was now. He had always been a rather hard cat to get along with, and now that he was almost a warrior, perhaps he would change. Gingerlily couldn't know for sure, but even the harshest of cats could change in a blink of an eye. For some it took seasons upon seasons to realize they had made mistakes and been rather cruel cats in the past, but maybe for Antpaw his realizations would come sooner.
Looking back toward Hazelpaw, Gingerlily gave her a gentle look. "There's always a chance he could be. As much as I hate seeing any of my Clanmates in any distress, that is what is needed sometimes for a cat to rethink how they see the world." She didn't want to get Hazelpaw's hopes up too high, but she wasn't about to shoot them down either when Gingerlily knew there was always room for a cat to change their ways.

{Yes. It’s pretty much Tampa here Miami here}
Hazelpaw gave a small nod, her eyes wondering about everything. She had always been a curious cat; that could be good and bad. But, right now, she was curious if Antpaw, her crush, could turn nice from his mean self.

oh nice!! so hopefully she'll be there soon uwu Gingerlily » Hoping that she had given Hazelpaw an answer she could settle with, Gingerlily went back to grooming the apprentice. She could tell that Hazelpaw's pelt was drying off, and she had managed to get a good amount of dust out of the apprentice's fur as well by this point. After a few more minutes of doing this, Gingerlily glanced back over to the nearby poppy seed. She didn't want to force Hazelpaw into taking it, but she did think it would do the molly well to have something a bit more soothing than just thyme in her system. "Do you want me to get you anything to eat before taking the poppy seed?" Gingerlily then questioned. It would do Hazelpaw well to get some food in her stomach as well. There wasn't a lot of prey left due to the weather, but what was out there was meant for cats who needed prey more than others.

Hazelpaw hesitated. “Um, okay,” she slowly sighed. She was exhausted, but not up to sleeping for some reason.

morning! I’m good, you? Gingerlily » Once Hazelpaw had spoken up and accepted her offer for food, Gongerlily pushed herself up to her paws. ”I’ll be right back,” she murmured, turning to head out of her den. It didn’t take her long to get to the fresh-kill pile, and the sight of it sent a rush of sorrow through her. It was so empty, only a few measly pieces of prey pitifully pressed up against one another. She made a mental note not to take anything for herself until more prey was caught, but she grabbed a water vole for Hazelpaw and made her way back to the den.
Slipping inside, she stepped back to her patient, gently laying the vole down beside Hazelpaw. ”Here you are,” the calico murmured, comfortingly brushing her tail along the apprentice’s flank.

{Good! Sry for the late response.}
Hazelpaw looked in awe at the prey and when she hit int9 it, she immediately felt warmer and better. “Mmm, thank you, Gingerlily,” Hazelpaw purred as she continued to dig into the warm prey. She felt like she hadn’t tasted prey ever; it was so good and juicy. She stoped herself from eating it all though; she knew the prey pile was low and Antpaw would need prey too. Probably a lot more prey than Hazelpaw needed on top of all that........

Gingerlily » A soft purr bubbled up inside Gingerlily’s throat. Hazelpaw seemed to be doing a lot better, and Gingerlily was sure that once Antpaw woke up he would be feeling a lot better too. Sore, she was sure of that, but he had certainly lived to tell another tale. He might need to take a break from his warrior training for a day or two, or at least have Crowhop go easy on him, but Gingerlily had no doubt in her mind that his prognosis, along with Hazelpaw’s, was good.
”Why don’t you try to get some sleep now?” The medicine cat then asked, knowing that now all Hazelpaw needed was some true rest. ”I’ll be here when you wake up, and if you need anything at all let me know.” Once the words came out she thought about Hazelpaw’s own mentor. Perhaps she would see if Moonshadow was busy in camp or not, and if she wasn’t then she would tell the warrior that Hazelpaw was okay and would probably need a day or two of rest if Hareleap or Rippletide hadn’t told her anything yet.

Hazelpaw nodded sorely. “I guess,” she meowed. She wasn’t up for sleeping, but if the medicine cat told her to, she would. “Thank you again, Gingerlily,” Hazelpaw quietly mewed and curled into a small caramel ball.

Gingerlily » "It's no problem at all," Gingerlily mewed, leaning down to give Hazelpaw a comforting lick between the ears. "Now, you rest up, and as I've said, I'm here if you need anything." Hopeful that the apprentice would fall into a much needed slumber, Gingerlily took this time to see if Moonshadow or Crowhop were out in camp. She was sure they were somewhere in camp due to the dust storm still howling outside, but she had no idea if they were busy tending to other duties or not. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to check for them, and if she spotted them she was going to let them know how their apprentices were faring after their harrowing journey outside.

Hazelpaw, tired as ever, wasn’t up to sleeping, but the moment she was all curled up and she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. Her ears were pricked forwards the entrance of the den; she wasn’t going to let anything get in with her well hearing.
