"Thank you, Fuzzypaw. Really, you always know what to say to cheer a cat up." Rustlepaw smiled in Fuzzypaw's direction, flicking her tail around to feel for the other she-cat's shoulder, before she admitted. "Spottedpaw was real cross about you getting scolded. One might think he protects you more than he protects me." She teased innocently.
"I still remember getting scolded for climbing the crowfood at Carrionplace with Pinefeather, Goldberry, and Lynxdapple." Spiderfang snorted lightly, smirking. "Back when I was Spiderpaw. Starclan, it has been a long time, hasn't it?" She looked at Mouseclaw and mewed. "You don't look nearly as old as I must. You'll always have a young cat's air to you, hm?" She snarked, though it was clear her words were full of rasping affection reserved only for him.
"The best way to estimate is one seed for a kit, two seeds for an apprentice, and three seeds for a Warrior. But, if you're a large Warrior, like Cliffheart, or Goldberry, or Flintclaw, then you may get four. The bigger you are, the more seeds you'll need, or, if the injury is very bad, we may use more to put you to sleep while we work." Opalmist explained, honest and clinical in her explanation.

Pearlkit squeaked happily as she nosed a large pine cone from the brush, "Papa! Look at this one!" she exclaimed, batting it over towards Falcontalon.
The former deputy purred, always touched by kits excitement with such small things. "That's a good find Pearlkit." he rumbled affectionately. "You can show Lionscorch when he gets back, I'm sure he'd be impressed too." Falcontalon, now softened by the transition to elderhood wasn't nearly as perceptive as he used to be, he hadn't even noticed Willowkit peeking out from the nursery entrance.

Mouseclaw batted lightly at Spiderfang's ear, "You're not that much older than me, you know I was apprenticed late because of the battle with Adderclan. Not that I ever minded since it meant I got Closesky as a mentor. It would have been fun to train along beside you though when we were apprentices. Probably would have made me mad that you were so far ahead of me. You would have loved it." he teased right back.
Mistkit nodded, looking soothed at the methodical way of thinking. She gazed up at Opalmist, eyes seemingly searching the medicine cat's. "Good, I don't like things that aren't precise." she mewed, the bluntness of her tone a little out of place for her age.

"Yes, but then you wouldn't have had Closesky for a mentor, and that is a privilage that any cat would strive for." Spiderfang smirked. While he wasn't much younger than her, she was glad that he had been able to be trained by the same cat she had been. Closesky meant so much to her, and sharing him with her mate had always made her feel as if Mouseclaw truly understood why it had been so serious to her. She shrugged. "Besides, I like being ahead of you, that's true." "Then you'll like some of the other herbs. Medicine cats have to carefully decide how much to give a cat, or some herbs can be harmful, rather than helpful." Opalmist admitted, before she asked. "And do you know any herbs that we should avoid, or are always harmful to us? You'll have to know each one by heart, so that we never let it grow close to camp."

"I know, you'll always have those few moons of training on me, so you don't have to worry. You'll be able to boast about being better than me forever." Mouseclaw replied, no bite in his tone. "Although, maybe with those moons in the nursery, we're even?" he asked with a playful swish of his tail.
Mistkit looked around the stock, wondering if any of the harmful herbs were present. She took a step away from them warily. "Mama mentioned deathberries before. You don't have any of those do you?" she questioned quietly.

"He was?" Fuzzypaw asked, perking up. "I mean, I knew that since he chased me down to talk to me, but I didn't know he'd told you about it." She flicked an ear, feeling her pelt warm a little. "But there's no way he'd be more protective over me, you're his littermate."

No one had seen her! She she-kit gave a little mewl of excitement and then bit her tongue, realizing it was a give away to make any such noise. She continued to cling to the brush, keeping her body low. Finally, she was close enough to the tom that she thought she might be able to punch without him knowing.

"More than even. Starclan, I felt like I was losing muscle by the second cooped up in that den. Luckily, we have more than enough kits to satisfy me, especially since we've got grandkits now too. Which..." Spiderfang gave a light breath, tinged with a knowing grunt. "Lightpaw and Longpaw certainly have had quite a start into apprenticeship. If we had lost them..." She shook her head roughly. "No dwelling on the past. But, I'm more interested in seeing how Brittlefoot will manage with Longpaw." She admitted. Brittlefoot had always been a curious cat, Spiderfang had never been able to read him well, yet she knew as much as she scoffed at his frailty, he had a hidden strength to him that she swore he hid on purpose.
Opalmist flicked her ear before she mewed honestly. "We keep some to show kits what not to ever touch or eat. But Snowdance and I hide it very well, well enough to never be harmful to any of us." She nodded, looking at Mistkit. "Foxglove is dangerous too. The seeds are small, but the flower is noticeable. Never, ever, lick any seeds off your paws after a hunt or patrol. Always wash them, or ask us for moss to remove them."
"Of course he was." Rustlepaw humored. "I don't need to see his face to hear his voice, and the way his tone changes when talking about you. Spottedpaw has always been protective of me, and me of him... We were born small, and we never got to meet our two other siblings, so Spottedpaw likes to think I don't know that he's protective of me. I don't mind it, I like that he cares." She flicked her tail calmly. "But you! It's different. You're not obligated to him as a littermate. All the ways he cares for you, he cares of his own volition! It's... the same, but... different, I think."

Fuzzypaw felt too warm under her pelt suddenly, bashfully looking away and scuffing her paws. "C-come on, seriously," she mewed, trying and failing to find a retort. She knew it was true, and as much as she was embarrassed to say it, she liked that he cared so much for her, regardless of origin. "Maybe cause I'm small too?" she tried pathetically, purposefully ignoring that she'd started growing like a weed in the past half moon. She thought about Spottedpaw's gentle yet strong heart and his blue eyes that were perfect reflections of her own. Her belly did a flip, and her tail thumped wildly on the ground beside her as she tried to ignore it.

Could be because you’re small.” Rustlepaw relented with an innocent hum to her voice, turning her head to face a different direction to hide the small quirk of her muzzle with knowing mirth. She heard an odd soft thumping sound. Either a tail tapping, or a paw swatting at the sand. Either way, she purred. “I won’t tease you. I’m very happy that you and Spottedpaw want to protect eachother. It makes me feel comfort, knowing you’ll have his back if I ever can’t.”

He smiled softly, recognizing the sound of a clumsy kit stalking up behind him. Not wanting to ruin her fun, he didn't move or show any sign that he had noticed her. He simply kept his on Pearlkit as she showed him another pinecone even larger than the last.

Always wash them, or ask us for moss to remove them." Mouseclaw chuckled lightly, though his face flashed with worry as he thought of their troubled grandson. "Longpaw's not going to give him an easy time, but I think Brittlefoot can manage it. I'm not close to the tom but I've seen what he can do, he's stronger than he looks. I hope Longpaw comes to respect him for the dedicated warrior he is. He won't learn anything unless he actually believes his mentor is knowledgable." Mistkit nodded, her face scrunched up with worry at all of the dangers that could fall upon herself or her clanmates. "How am I going to keep my littermates and denmates safe when all these herbs can make them sick? Do you have a foxglove that I can see?" she asked earnestly, making herself appear taller as she leaned into Opalmist.

"If he's anything like his father, Brittlefoot is going to need a will of steel." Spiderfang snorted, though it was clear that she held a level of pride for Ratmask, having been her former apprentice. She nodded. "But. If he is able to get through to him, I am sure he'll find plenty to be proud of in Longpaw. He just... needs a special kind of mentor. One that can connect with him." She mewed, sure of herself.
"Usually, we do not keep any seeds, but I collected some empty flowers if you'd like to see what the flowers will look like." Opalmist offered. "It is alot of work to keep everyone healthy, but the reward of seeing your clanmates recover is always worth it." She soothed, able to sense Mistkit's worry. She turned to reach her paw far back into the herb storage, pushing aside a clump of thistle used to hide some of the scarce herbs for lessons. The pink flower was pressed between her paw pads, and she held it carefully in front of Mistkit.

Fuzzypaw ducked her head. "Yeah...me too," she admitted. Rustlepaw chuckled for a moment, before she suddenly grew a bit curious. "Speaking of your mentor... I haven't scented him around, lately. Usually he's on alot of patrols, but he's seemed to make himself scarce. Have you seen Cliffheart recently?" She asked.

Fuzzypaw lifted her head, tilting it to the side curiously. "Thistlestalk...?" she meowed. "He's all right, mostly he's been keeping me in camp when he's out, obviously...but he has been helping me get better at fighting, which I like."
She flattened an ear and looked over to the camp wall. "I haven't seen Cliffheart much, not since the climbing lesson, at least."

Rustlepaw gossiped, before her voice grew serious as she admitted. "Cliffheart... I haven't scented him back since the training session. I... actually wanted to talk to Cedarstar about it. I feel worried for him." She admitted.

I mean I know he's your mentor and all, but it's still gotta be a little intimidating when talking to the leader, right?"

Talltalon awoke in his nest in the Medicine Den, watching Opalmist and Mistskit for a moment before he stood up with a small grunt as the healing wounds stung a bit. He shook away the discomfort, instead wanting to do his fatherly duties and at least bring some prey to his mate.
“Hm. Yes. Poppyflame.” Rustlepaw giggled, glad that it was easy to tell. She flicked an ear. “Oh, Cedarstar’s not so scary. I mean, he’s our leader, so it’s more so that he can’t be free all the time outside of our training windows. But! If we both tell him, he’ll be more likely to take it seriously, right?” She asked.

I can't remember how I was going to have Cliffheart get knocked to his senses.) (Yes, I think so. Cardinalblaze was going to receive a sign to warn about the Dark Forest and possibly Cliffheart’s connection to it, I believe. Since he’s close to Cedarstar and was with Cliffheart during the fire. We can have that happen, and him trying to warn Cedarstar, if you like!)

The vision will be of the ground rising so it's like he's standing on a cliff, but at the bottom of the cliff is only darkness. So maybe he can go out on patrol and this can happen.)
