Thrushwing padded over to his mate when he saw her heading for the camp entrance. His pelt was layered with a thin coating of soot from the work he was doing on the nursery. "Heading out? Could I join you?"

“I’ll join you all too.” Frostmoon padded towards her former mentor, nodding a light greeting to Thrushwing and Stormeye. She wanted to stretch her paws a bit more out of camp.

(Uh, Soot could help Peach with herbs or something?) (Sure! I’m always happy to rp Medicine Cat stuff :3 ) “Shoot...” Peachdapple sighed, shaking her head. “The fire’s really been unkind to the plants. All of the shoots in camp are gone...” She murmured, knowing she’d have to go collect herbs quickly. Entrusting camp duties to Aspenfall, she looked around for a warrior or two to assist her.

Sootclaw was inspecting the edges of the camp wall and a frown crossed his face at all the work that needed to be done. When he caught eye of Peachdapple looking around, he padded over to her. "Do you need something, Peachdapple?"

“Oh, Sootclaw. Perfect! I was just looking for someone to assist me in collecting herbs. We might be out for a while, but if you’re free to help me, I certainly won’t say no.” Peachdapple explained yo the younger tom.

Sootclaw nodded to her. "Of course I can help you, but Peachdapple, do you think we'll find any herbs out there?"

Sootclaw nodded to her. "Of course I can help you, but Peachdapple, do you think we'll find any herbs out there?" "That's the hope." Peachdapple nodded. "I have a feeling that if we stick close to any of the streams, or even near the Riverclan border, we might find some herbs that were protected by the flames due to how wet the ground was around them. Unfortunately, that may mean our selections are limited." Peachdapple sighed. "The top prize is Milkweed, but it grows alot more in Skyclan than it does in Thunderclan. Our best alternative is marigold, but watermint is always a good find too. I'll show you if we see any." She nodded, the large she-cat lumbering towards the camp entrance.

"Well, if we follow along the RiverClan border toward SkyClan territory. SkyClan might not realize our presence." Sootclaw nodded along. He didn't know anything about these herbs, but he knew the territory. "We might be able to push the SkyClan border back a little without them noticing, especially if it means we get more herbs that we need."
(That reminds me, was the ThunderClan/SkyClan border description updated on this page?)

"...That is a heavy suggestion, Sootclaw. The ways of Medicine cats are not so cut and dry. I cannot prevent Skyclan from accessing herbs that they may need too." Peachdapple hummed gruffly, though her ears flicked with consideration. The small part of herself that had always been based in her love for Warriorhood shouted for her to take the opportunity to benefit her clan. But the training of a medicine cat held her back, reminding her that she was not supposed to participate in Warrior's deeds. She sighed.
"We'll search in our own borders for now...but if the only herbs we find and need are right near the border...then perhaps..." She hummed, conflicted. Thunderclan was suffering from very heavy burns, she knew they needed all the treatments they could get.

"That's if we find the herbs across the border at all." Sootclaw blinked at the realization of her conflict. He smiled softly. "We might find them well within our territory, Peachdapple. We should get going before any other animals snatch them up."

"Yes. You're right." Peachdapple sighed, eased by his words as she nodded and padded forwards. Her eyes trailed around the charred forest, heavy with an emotion that she rarely showed in her older age, one of pure loss and anguish. She sighed softly, shaking her head. "Such a terrible scene...I remember my first trip out of camp. I remember Brackenshade's steady lessons. He was patient, I must have driven him mad in my first moons. Yet he was a good tom, and a grand Warrior. The trees, the grass, everything so green. To see it now..." She trailed off, before she shook her head and steeled herself.
"No use reminiscing over lost leaves. We'll be looking beneath burned leaf litter, and certainly near all the streams. Certain herbs grow faster than others. Mint grows exceptionally fast, but...we do not need much of that now, do we?" She puffed.

"I know how you feel, Peachdapple." Sootclaw gave a sympathetic look. "Everyday I wake up, I think I would see my sons in the warriors den beside me, but Ryefeather is gone and Cricketsun is missing. We don't even know what happened to Bloompelt." Sootclaw let out a sigh and followed the medicine cat along the path. He searched for any green growth, but really he looked for his lost kin. "I pray to StarClan she escaped the fire."

"Oh, I think about them everyday." Peachdapple murmured, her eyes flickering with loss. She knew how deeply Bloompelt's dissapearence still weighed on Yarrowcloud, how the loss of Petalsky did nothing to alleviate that. For a small moment, she was grateful that she was unable to have kits. She would never have to feel a pain like that, and yet she loved every clanmate as if they were her kits. She had loved Ryefeather and Cricketsun just as deeply. Looking at Sootclaw, she nodded.
"Starclan shall guide Ryefeather, I know that they are. As for Cricketsun, and Bloompelt, I pray that they are safe as well. Those kits...especially the kits. I am glad that I got to see them, even if only for a small while." She admitted.

Sootclaw flattened his ears in grief at the thought of Bloompelt's kits. "I often wonder if there was something I did wrong? Did I offend Bloompelt somehow? Was I not there for her enough after Cricketsun disappeared? Maybe if I had found my son, she and her kits would still be with the Clan." Sootclaw shook his head. "I can't help but feel that this is my fault, Peachdapple."

"Oh, dear, no." Peachdapple murmured, looking at Sootclaw, her voice rich with empathy. "I know it must feel that way...but I know how much you did to make her feel comforted. They were your grandkits as much as they were Yarrowcloud's. I can feel it in my heart that they are together somewhere, raising their kits. As heavy as it weighs to know that we were not enough to keep them here...I know also that you would wish them the best, in their care for eachother. You followed your heart in the end, did you not?" She asked.
Her paws crunched on ash and charred scraps of leaf and wood, pawing carefully at certain places to see if life was still pushing under the cover.

Sootclaw shook his head. "I did everything I could for them, Peachdappe, but it wasn't enough. Cricketsun was always so timid, but I didn't think that he'd..." He sighed. "And Bloompelt too? How could she have left the camp with her kits without anyone noticing? If I had been around more, I could've stop her...I just wish..." the warrior trailed off, nudging through some burnt bracken to search for any kind of green. "I just wish I knew for sure that they are alright."

"I just wish I knew for sure that they are alright." Peachdapple looked at the tom for a while, her eyes betraying her sympathy for his plight. It was natural, to feel as if more could have been done. She took a deep breath, resting her tail on Sootclaw’s shoulder lightly. “She had to have planned it to pull it off so seamlessly...in which case, she would have found a way to leave no matter what. I truly believe that Cricketsun would not blame you for his actions either...” She hesitated, before she offered. “What say we keep an eye and ear out for them? At the very least, we may be able to talk to them if we find any scent of them.”
