Volepaw walked up to Marigoldpaw. "I was climbing and my paw slipped. I think I just cut it a little." He said as he held out his paw.

Ah, so that was it! Marigoldpaw looked at it again, pronouncing the injury so he could know what was going on. "There is a nasty cut, but thankfully it is shallow. I can see a bit of blood, let me clean it up..." She murmured distractedly, nosing around in the herb stores and taking out a fresh wad of cobwebs. She wiped it on the wound and cleaned it out, also stopping the small trickle of blood from the paw that immediately stopped flowing. She went back and looked for some more herbs. "Stay there!"

Volepaw winced a little as Marigoldpaw cleaned the cut but tried to hide it. "Okay I'm going to stay right here."

Marigoldpaw gave a small nod. Burdock, Comfrey, Dock, Goldenrod, Marigold. The names of possible herbs ran through her mind. Best to prevent infection, so... The apprentice got to work in chewing a poultice of a few of the mentioned herbs and some others. Some were to soothe scratches, and some for different uses. Finally finishing, she brought the pulpy mixture over to Volepaw and carefully applied it to his small wound.

"Oh! That feels weird and smell odd too." Volepaw exclaimed as she put the mixture on his paw. "Do I have to sit around camp for awhile or can I still do stuff on my paw?"

Marigoldpaw blinked at him, reluctant to say anything. It was for the good of Volepas to know what he should be doing after sustaining this injury though. "Just take it easy." She mews casually, waiting for the apprentice to leave the den so she could check the herb stocks.

"Okay." Volepaw walked out of the den and looked around for Mallowspots.

Marigoldpaw watched as he padded out, and lowered her head to continue working with the herbs. She gave one last look at Volepaw's tail as it disappeared, then delved into the herb stores to see which ones were missing and if she should replenish them by going picking.

Squirrelclaw lounged around in the warriors' den, yawning. He had already hunted for the clan and eaten a scrawny shrew from the fresh-kill pile too, so there was not much else to do. Patrol? Maybe if he saw one he would volunteer. But for now, it was some relaxation time. The ginger-brown tom flicked his bushy squirrel-like tail as he began to groom himself, taking out tangles in his fur and removing bits of unwanted leaves.

Ferretnose sighed through his nose as Marigoldpaw helped Volepaw'd injury. "That was good work, Marigoldpaw." He meowed, breaking the silence in the den. "But don't act like you didn't say what you said before." He added, standing up in one swift move. He wasn't mad about the snarl, he didn't get offended or angered by such things, but his concern for his apprentice lingered. "Questioning your place in the clan is normal at your age, especially as a medicine cat." He meowed, taking a step forward, his head lowered a little and his head cocked to the side a bit. "Are you questioning your position as a medicine cat?" He prompted, no sign of anger or anything in his tone.

Marigoldpaw looked at him, suddenly nervous and scared. Oh no, her stutter was coming back! When it came, it stayed for the rest of the day. "B...Being a medicine cat i...i..is what I w...wanted to be ever since I....I...I was a k..kit." She mewed truthfully. "B...But am I truly right for this p..position? I s...still would never dream of b...be...being anything else though." She added, feeling a row of fur on her spine begin to prick up.

Ferretnose stepped closer to his apprentice, his tail tip brushing her shoulder for a moment, a strange thing to happen considering he wasn't touchy at all with other cats. "Marigoldpaw, you're a talented medicine cat, even more than I was at your age." He started, trailing of as memories of a familiar conversation he'd had with his mentor, Thistlewhisker, because to pop up. "Your future lies in your own paws, only you can decide for sure if this is what you want to be. No cat is meant to do anything, its only what you want to do plus the amount of work you're willing to put into it." He meowed with the flick of his ear. "Just have some faith in yourself rather than in some sort of destiny you think you're meant to fill, okay?" And with that he left the den and padded toward the camp exit, they needed more cobwebs after that incident with Volepaw.

Marigoldpaw took a deep breath, taking this all in st once. It was a lot. Your future lies in your own paws..... The phrase rang through her head constantly, and it finally stopped when her mentor left. She was thankful for this conversation, and maybe now she understood why she wanted to be a medicine cat. She liked it, and she would be willing to air as hard as needed. And yes, she would have more faith in herself. A healthy amount. The frazzled apprentice watched Ferretnose's tail-tip go out of view as he left, and decided to see what could be fixed, cleaned up, or done in the den.

Whitestar was terrified for tonight. Sure, she had been to gatherings before, but her duties in those were to sit with her clan and be there for her leader. There was no Hollowstar to help her this time, this time she'd be the one in charge. Hearing Rabbitjaw from outside, that came to another thought. She had honestly been shocked when she became deputy instead of him. He was older and more experienced, and even now she felt he was better qualified. There was nothing that could be done however, other than her choice to give him the role she felt he deserved. "I'm in here Rabbitjaw!"

Rabbitjaw, hearing Whitestar's voice, padded into the den, flashing her a warm smile. He could scent the she-cat's nervousness. "You'll be fine," he meowed, giving her a comforting headbutt. "I know it's your first gathering as leader, but I'll be right here with you. I promise, Oakstar and Cinderstar won't notice your fear. They'll be too busy spitting at eachother," he joked, trying to cheer her.

"Hollowstar was always good at keeping them from killing each other, how can I even imagine doing the same?" She asked him, glad that she had someone to talk to. Even before she had been leader, Rabbitjaw always was a kind cat. "It was intimidating before, and now I'll be up there with them...but it can't matter, I have to do this" She did her best to harden her expression. "Which cats do you think we should bring today? I'd rather my mother doesn't come, at least not this time" She shuddered at the thought of what the overprotective cat would do, even Olivenose's best intentions rarely ended well.

Rabbitjaw let out a small laugh. "She'll be shouting things up to you to say. I'd suggest Lilymask and Owlstrike. They'll probably want to see Mintbreeze, even for just a few moments. Finchmask will want to go, she hasn't been in awile. I'd suggest taking some of the apprentices. As for the other leaders, I'd probably just sit between them." He smiled. "If you're really worried, just think about what Hollowstar would do." He knew Whitestar could do it, she just wasn't confident.

Whitestar sighed "That, or she'll try to get up there with me. I heard someone mention that Volepaw cut his paw while climbing, so I assume Mallowspots will want to stay with him, I'll ask Hawkspirit if he wants to come though. Nimblepaw is a definite, it'll be her first gathering after all... which means Firewhisper as well. I'll ask Eggbelly, is there anyone else you can think of to bring?"

Ferretnose padded back into camp, sticky cobwebs stuck to every part of his pelt besides his paws. His tall ears picked up the rumblings of conversation coming from the leader's den, something about... The Gathering? He twitched his whiskers in interest, wondering if he'd be allowed to go. He was interested in speaking with Mintbreeze, he hadn't seen the ThicketClan medicine cat in quite some time and wanted to know if she'd found herself an apprentice yet.

Rabbitjaw twiched his tail, deep in thought. "Ferretnose will go, being medicine cat and all, but what of his apprentice? Should we bring Marigoldpaw too? Those are all the cats I can think of right now, but if any cats volunteer, I'm sure they could go as well."
{ Tbh I kinda ship Whitestar and Rabbitjaw xD }

(Oh thank god I'm not the only one xD They're pretty cute together so far)
Whitestar nodded, giving Rabbitjaw a thankful look while her tail rested briefly on his shoulder. "Perhaps we should ask Ferretnose for his opinion, he may want her to stay behind to keep an eye on the den for now"

{ I agree, they kinda balance eachother out, in a way. <3 }
"Sure, that sounds fair. I'd hate for a cat to get injured and have nobody to heal it. Would you like me to go ask him, or should we call him up here?" Rabbitjaw asked. "We may have to hurry though, we'll be leaving for the gathering fairly soon, it's almost sundown."

(Should we try pairing them up at some point?)
"I'll call him over, hold on" She stuck her head out of the den. "Hey Ferretnose, do you have a minute?"
(Sorry for shortness)

Ferretnose's web-covered ears flicked to their attentive state as he heard Whitestar call for him. "Yes, need something?" He trotted over, not caring that he probably looked ridiculous with all the webbing on his pelt.

Whitestar hardly registered Ferretnose's appearance, mostly distracted. "Do you want to bring Marigoldpaw to the gathering, or would you rather she keep an eye on your den tonight?"

Ferretnose glanced back at his den with thought. She already doesn't make friends very easily... But should she make friends with another clan's apprentices rather than her own? He looked back to Whitestar, blinking his pink almosnd shaped eyes. "She'll stay here tonight so she can keep an eye on Volepaw." He stated, making his decision.
