((lol true!! sandstripe can you just THINK for ONCE in ur dang life)) - - SandstripeSandstripe picked out the chamomile and placed it in front of Rosebriar. She paused suddenly and looked the she-cat intensely in the eyes, realizing that Rosebrair might have overheard all of that. Her gaze drifted over to Dewfern, then back, and she wondered if she should play innocent or not. "This is . . . very strange, isn't it?" she said slowly. "I-I wasn't even sure if the princess was alive, but, um, here she is. What a . . . what a shock, right?" She made a half-grin that looked like she was trying to express some emotion, but it only made her look strange. |

Duskstorm looked over. 'The princess is also having trouble sleeping and is currently suffering from a cold that his father denies is there. She is here to receive treatment from Sandstripe and I am escorting her back to the tower.' He said plainly, before headbumping Dewfern forwards and picking up a random ball of herbs to carry, leading the way. Once out of view he dropped the herbs and warily looked around, ensuring they were alone. 'Are you going back to the tower?' He cautiously asked, worried for her wellbeing.

"Okay. nice to meet you princess." Rosebriar said cheerily as she dipped her head in respect. She suspected both Duskstorm and Sandstripe both were part of the scheme. "I'll take the chamomile and leave if it is ready Sandstripe." She tried to act as though there was nothing weird about anything that was happening so they didn't think she had overheard.

- - Dewfern
As the princess was pushed out of the garden, she caught a glimpse of Rosebriar. Oh no. What if she tells everyone I was here? she worried. But when Duskstorm began speaking, she had to abandon the thought and focus. "I should," she mewed as she looked up at the moon. "Someone may notice I'm gone." She forlornly felt the grass under her paws, taking in the feeling of being outdoors with a tinge of sadness. "Is there anything I can do to ensure your safety?" She was beginning to realize what a great risk he was taking for his castle mates, but she wasn't sure what to do besides be quiet about it.

"Goodnight all" said Rosebriar as she snatched up the camomile and left calmly. If she hadn't needed the herb before she really needed it now.

He shook his head, ears a little warm at her concern for him. 'No. I'm more worried about your safety.' He calmly replied. 'If ever you need me, or need help, Dewfern, seek me out. I'll do my best to be of aid to you.' He glanced around. 'Let me escort you back to the tower.' He began to walk, already conceiving a way to cover up any rumours that Dewfern had been in the garden. |

((thank u friends.......also hey I just got a horrible idea and I'm gonna make it a reality))
- - Sandstripe
Sandstripe tried to hide her relief at Duskstorm's cover up. "Come back if the chamomile doesn't work," she called to Rosebriar. Then she sat down and stared at her feet. What was she going to do now? Stoneheart had to be taken off the throne. This couldn't go on. Seeing the state that Dewfern was in solidified her feelings even more--the king had turned into a monster, keeping his daughter locked up as if she were a possession and not a living person! And she knew what he thought--that it was her fault the Queen had died. He had said so himself, right to her face, when she told him the news. The nerve of him! She narrowed her eyes into slits.
I did everything I could to save her, she silently growled. I'll show you what it looks like when an herbalist gets bad at her job. Sandstripe picked up a leaf bundle, stuffed more of the herbs that Lighttail had perscribed to Stoneheart into it, and then picked out the deadly nightshade that she had been storing in secret for moons. She cut it with her claws, so that it was unnoticeable among the other herbs, then wrapped it and picked it up. She ran after Duskstorm and Dewfern.
"Your highness, wait!" she called. "I have something for you." She ran up beside them and put the bundle down next to the princess. "Lighttail made this for your father--he should have already had one today, but he'll need another tomorrow morning. She asked me to deliver it to you." She smiled kindly--a false smile, but a convincing one. "Things will get better, dear. I promise."

Duskstorm looked up as Sandstripe joined them and set down the herbs, and thought nothing of her prescription. He looked to Dewfern. 'Would you like me to carry it for you?' He asked her politely.

(Yes. All the time. Of course, by that point I'm too tired to write it down so I just think 'hey what the heck I'll write it in the morning'. Then I cry because it's gone. XD) (Sandstripe noooooo.) - - DewfernDewfern smiled, realizing that for the first time in moons, she may have made a friend. Someone she could talk to. "Yes, please," she mewed cheerily as she began to follow. Maybe I'll find a way to see him again. And if not... Well now I know there's someone out there who cares about me, she thought with some sense of satisfaction of how th day had turned out. Maybe she would try to patch things up with her father in the morning... She turned at sound of the herbalist calling and running after them. As Sandstripe spoke, Dewfern felt her curiosity pick at her mind. What did her father need from the medicine cats? Was he ill? No. He would have told us., she assumed, shaking away the thought. "Um... Thank you, Sandstripe. Have a nice night." She gave the she-cat a nervous smile, trying to tell herself that Sandstripe was still loyal, and not the kind to give away Dewfern's whereabouts. Little did she know, that was the least of her concerns. (Ah! Sorry this took so long.  ) |

- - Dewfern
"Oh, don't worry about it. I've got it." She picked up the herbs in her jaws and gave him a small smile. It felt a little heavy for a normal bundle of herbs. Dad's just old. He probably had some aching joints or something, she thought, trying to ignore the colliding smells under her nose.

((Btw you can feel free to add to Duskstorm's bio that he has a little crush on Dewfern lol))
Duskstorm nodded and continued to walk, cautiously keeping an eye out for any dangers that might come for them. He flicked an ear lazily and glanced over at Dewfern, finding himself coming to a realisation that he may have made a friend.
thats new. he thought to himself, tail raising slightly higher with pride.

(( Bloodrose gotcha ;D)) - - Sandstripe"Don't worry my dear," Sandstripe said, reading her curiosity, "your father is not ill. This is just to help him recover from the . . . losses he's experienced recently. I'm sure he will feel better soon." She touched her tail-tip to the she-cat's shoulder as she turned away. Once she had taken a few steps away, the weight of what she had just done truly began to sink in, and her legs felt wobbly. You did the right thing. The right thing isn't always the easy thing, she told herself firmly. She took a deep breath and kept walking. Her only regret was dragging Lighttail into it--she had always considered the other herbalists to be friends. But she knew that if she played innocent, she would never be caught; she had a long history of friendship with the royal family. They trusted her. I suppose that's why I'm the only one who could have done this.

- - Dewfern
Dewfern just smiled after the herbalist. The herbalist who had taken care of her family in their last moments was still there for them. The night may have started out horribly, but she was coming back to the tower with a new friend and faith in an old one. Turning back to Duskstorm, she saw him a little ahead of her and darted after him.
Once they reached the Royal Tower, she felt the familiar cold stone under her paws, missing the grass a bit. "Thank you for escorting me. I hope your leg heals," she whispered as she took a step onto the stairs and gave him one more grateful smile. "Goodnight." She padded up the stairs as stealthily as she could before reaching her room. Instead of sleeping on her bed, she jumped onto the chair seated near the window. The moonlight shone through her window in a way that reminded her of being outside again. She watched the moon stand still in the sky while she began to drift off into sleep.

Duskstorm released a shaky breath and padded away, not limping so much anymore as his thoughts were no longer on his leg, but on the beautiful she-cat he'd had the pleasure of befriending.
He headed back to the garden, remembering Sandstripe's request, and slunk inside, heading to one of the nests and laying down on it, sighing softly with relief. He felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.

- - Sandstripe
Sandstripe looked up as Duskstorm re-entered the garden. She went over to him and sat down, curling her tail over her feet. "I suppose that's the end of that," she said quietly. She thought about Duskstorm's behavior around Dewfern and added, "Just a word of advice, Duskstorm: you should be careful about getting your feelings involved with a member of the royal family. It usually just ends in heartbreak." She looked off to the side, her eyes narrowed, and twitched the tip of her tail.
"Anyway, these are for you." She pushed a few herbs over to him. "If you need anything during the night, wake LIghttail or Maplefall up. I need a long rest after all this excitement."
- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart heard Dewfern going into her resting chamber--he had heard her leave in the first place but had said nothing. He stood up and followed her, slowly coming in through the doorway as she jumped onto the window. "Dewfern?" he called softly. "Are you all right?"

- - Dewfern
Dewfern's eyes opened slowly at the sound of her uncle's voice. She lifted up her head, a little nervous. Had he heard her come in? "Yes, uncle. I'm just having a little trouble falling asleep. I'm okay," she responded softly, her voice laced with exhaustion. Giving him a small smile, she pricked her ears up slightly.

'I have no feelings towards Dewfern other than what are expected of me.' Duskstorm blankly responded, a lack of anything, really, in his tone. 'And Thankyou.' He bent and quietly ate the herbs, before laying his head down and closing his eyes. 'we'll be ok.' He mumbled quietly, slowly drifting to sleep.
