Leaf Eye tilted his head when Barkpelt mentioned his sister, he smiled "Do not worry, everyone has a place here. I'm sure you'll find your own path or reason to survive. Starclan brought us here to freedom so we could be ourselves, though I suppose having to take orders from someone like... Eaglestar must be unpleasant." he mewed, sounding a bit bitter at the end. He didn't know the leader personally, but he never really heard anything good from leader's in the past. Barkpelt felt a bit more at ease at Leaf Eye's initial comment , offering a tiny , hopeful smile . However , it faded as Eaglestar came up again . He glanced away , lowering his head . " I shouldn't say much , and I'm sure you can understand why , but ... " He sighed as he held himself a bit higher , " I hope whatever you meant about things changing comes true , but for the better . Things are rough , that's for sure ... "
As he looked to the sky , he noticed that it began to grow gradually darker , and he suppressed a shiver . He looked back to Leaf Eye . " Before you go , would you like something to eat ? " He asked . He had come out here with the intentions to practice hunting , after all . " I can't promise I'll nab anything the first few times , but I'd hate to just leave you like that , I'd feel a bit rude . I'd at least like to thank you for your time . You didn't have to talk to me , after all . " Barkpelt chuckled , smiling kindly . If only his sister were here , he thinks that under her abrasive personality , she might admit to this Leaf Eye character being kinda interesting .

Leaf Eye gave a warm smile, "I'm sure things will work out for you, and your sister." he chuckled at the end. He smiled at the young cat's offer, "Thank you that would be very kind of you, Starclan knows my old bones only seem to get worse when it get cold and chilly out." he rolled his shoulders a bit, listening to the quiet cracking of his joints.

Nightpaw went further into the Medicine Cat's Den so she was facing both Cinderfrost and Rosethorn. "Sure, Cinderfrost" she meowed, hoping they didn't detect the slight anxiety she got about being so close to the massive she-cat. "Good evening Rosethorn" she greeted dutifully. Rosethorn glanced over her shoulder , offering a swish of her tail in greeting as she tried to make it a bit easier for the apprentice to get to the knot . " How's it goin ' ? " She inquired , closing her eyes contently as she shifted her shoulders .

" You're the Medicine Cat , you have a voice . Or you should , but that's just my two claws . I suppose you're right about Rainfoot though ... " Rosethorn did her best to keep her muscles relaxed and her mind partially somewhere else as she continued , " But I guess you're right . About Rainfoot , I mean . I'd like to see her succeed , but times are tough . Let's just - " She let out a tiny cough , trying not to roll her eyes as she closed them , " Pray to Starclan that everything goes smoothly this leafbare . "
Rosethorn had seen it before ; she knew most leaders around here were the same . They got their ' nine lives ' and spent their whole reign acting as if they were untouchable , and consequently , they ended up lazy . She didn't believe in such nonsense . If she ever got to Leadership status , she surely wouldn't spend all her time lazing around just because she had time to kill . She thought about that for a moment though . She didn't believe in Starclan ; would she even get nine lives ? If that was even a real thing ...
As another voice caught in her ears , she lifted her head to glance over her shoulder . " Evening , Nightpaw , " She yawned before laying her head back down . Rosethorn decided her best bet was to play along with everything , though truth be told , Cinderfrost was one of the few cats in the Clan she didn't entirely mind . Sure , he could be jumpy and a bit out there at times , but he never really did anything to outwardly irritate her . Nightpaw was the same way , truth be told .
(( When are they going on their trip to speak with Starclan ? Rose is silently plotting away heheh ))
((I LIVED. ;; Here we go Night and Minou, sorry for the delay. As for a trip to Starclan.. I'm not quite sure yet? Probably let it the kits get a little older before a formal trip is made if that's alright? Plus an OOC thread would be awesome before we do more plot stuff!))
He had murmured a small mew of agreement with the large warrior, feeling his stomach churn slightly. Shoot, he was supposed to have a voice in clan life too, wasn't he... He and Nightpaw were some of the few cats who could actively speak to Starclan, yet he continuously shoved his opinions further down into the recesses of his mind, fearful of disagreement and conflict. He realized that he wasn't a very good medicine cat in that respect and silently hoped that he could train Nightpaw to the best of his ability; maybe she could handle those better than he could. "I certainly do hope that things get better this leafbare... we'll need all of our strength as a clan," he mewed lightly.
Cinderfrost felt his spirits lift a little as he noticed Nightpaw concealing her own nervousness around Rosethorn -- they gray tom knew he wasn't aware of much about other cats, but he knew anxiety like the back of his paw. He flicked his tail warmly to her, welcoming her to sit a touch closer to where he was. "Alright, Nightpaw, in order to get rid of knots you have to use your paws to massage it out. You'll need to make sure that the patient is relaxed and not tensing the muscle they're complaining about," he spoke lightly, suddenly gesturing to the large warrior and flicking his whiskers in amusement, "Rosethorn is nearly sleeping, she's so relaxed; that's almost exactly what you want." He braced himself again, standing on his hind legs, "If you place your paws next to mine, you'll feel the muscle bunched together. To massage it -" he grunted lightly as he pushed, "- you'll want to push toward the spine -" another grunt as he pulled, "- and then pull your paws back to their original place." Despite his sounds of exertion, he wasn't quite sure he had enough strength to get the full knot out. "I'll probably need your help with this one," he sighed a little in defeat. "Rosethorn apparently took down a bear and survived to give us work."
(hehe Cinderfrost never really bugs her because he tries his best to not.)

"Good, thank you. We got a lot of herbs we'll need for leaf-bare already, that way we won't have to scramble around later." Nightpaw replied to Rosethorn's question. As she felt the light touch of Cinderfrost's tail, she gladly moved closer to him, feeling better that her mentor was looking out for her. She watched as he explained the process of massaging out the knots, though she was still nervous about practicing on the large she-cat. When Cinderfrost got to one of the last knots, and apparently one of the biggest as well, she could see why it was probably a two-cat job. Trying to push her nervousness down, Nightpaw maneuvered to where her mentor directed, and started pushing down, hoping to imitate what he had just shown her. "Like this?" she meowed.

The warrior chuckled , " Starting to feel better already , so you must be doing something right , " She opened one eye lazily , keeping as still as she could . Her claws sheathed and unsheathed as she stretched them out in front of her , glancing over to Cinderfrost with a smirk . " Hey , if it weren't for me , you could be bear food by now ! " she teased , referencing the ongoing joke , " You're welcome ~ "

"Yes, good!" Cinderfrost mewed, a rush of pride flicker across his face for his apprentice. He was beginning to feel the knot relax and was relieved to hear Rosethorn was feeling it too. "It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, it just takes some work," he mentioned to Nightpaw, dropping back to all fours. He trusted that she would be to finish the job and turned his attention to the marigold leaves, clawing them closer to him.
He softly huffed at the warrior, blinking playfully, "'Could' is the key word there; for all I know, you drove the poor thing out of its cave." His whiskers twitched, feeling his heart ease and his nerves settle as he managed an effective conversation for once in his life. He quickly chewed the leaves in front of him into a wet poultice, and spat it onto his paw. As soon as he was sure Nightpaw had finished getting the knot out, and spoke to her, "Marigold is good for stiff joints. I'm not particularly sure if Rosethorn will need it, but it might prevent her shoulder from getting stiff. It doesn't hurt to be safe, especially when you have plenty of herbs." He quickly parted Rosethorn's thick fur with one paw as best he could and applied the green mash where the knot had been.
"Well, that should be good for you," Cinderfrost declared, overlooking the salve of marigold. "I've got the marigold on there to hopefully prevent stiffness, so do your best not to lick it off or roll in anything. If your shoulder keeps bugging you, come back and I'll put more on," he mewed lightly. "You're free to go from us," he informed her with a small chuckle, "and if you need anything else... you're welcome to come by." He flicked his ears lightly and looked down at his paws, feeling a little sheepish at his offer. He didn't mind the company and it seemed that Rosethorn shared a lot of his beliefs about clan politics; he wouldn't mind talking to her more. His anxiety of the day had seemed to melt; well, maybe it had been the fact he was doing his work at last, but he wasn't sure.

She watched Cinderfrost curiously as he tampered with the Marigold , her ears swiveling to listen as he talked to her , though she appeared to be staring off in space for a moment ." It's a bit hard to get to anything under all this fur , I know , " Rosethorn gave a final stretch before carefully propping herself up on her large paws , her spine and joints popping and cracking as she did so . " Let's just hope next time you have to do this , it's greenleaf , "
She turned carefully , giving a nod at Cinderfrost's words before smirking . She glanced him up and down for a moment before dipping her head . You're welcome to come by ... Her ears pricked just a bit as she lifted her chin up , that faint air of poise returning to her . " I'll be sure to keep that in mind ... Thank you , I appreciate your hard work and dedication . I know I'm not exactly the easiest patient , " She chuckled , swishing her tail along the ground . As she headed for the entrance to the Medicine Den , she glanced back over her shoulder .
" Oh , and , Cinderfrost ? I do hope you keep in mind what we discussed , " There was a strange look in her green eyes as she flicked her tail tip , but it wasn't a look you caught from her very often . It wasn't hostile , irritable , or anything of that variety , really . It was more ... genuine . " You , and Nightpaw , are vital to this Clan . Don't let anyone make you feel any different . " She didn't need to say anything else . She knew how Eaglestar had regarded them . It was evident enough alone in Cinderfrost's reaction to her prior comments , and it was obvious to any cat in the Clan that he took them for granted .
Without another word , the she cat padded off , her grace returning to her walk now that she was no longer limping from the knot she once had . A sly grin crossed her face once she had turned away , her eyes narrowing . The more cats she had on her side , the better ... Though this whole ' being nice ' act was , to a degree , exhausting , Rosethorn knew it was all going to pay off in the end .

He smiled at the young cat's offer, "Thank you that would be very kind of you, Starclan knows my old bones only seem to get worse when it get cold and chilly out." he rolled his shoulders a bit, listening to the quiet cracking of his joints. Barkpelt chuckled a bit , sniffing the cool air . The wind wasn't blowing , but the air was still chilly - this was a good thing . Scents would stay stagnant , and with luck he could track something down a bit easier . Granted , he'd have to wander a bit to catch scent of anything since nothing was blowing his way , so it was a bit of a hit or miss opportunity .
Crouching down , Barkpelt couldn't help but find himself distracted ; what was it like to live outside of a Clan ? It sounded dangerous , and yet this cat seemed to be getting along alright despite his age . He shook the thoughts from his head . I need to focus , or I'm just going to embarrass myself , He thought , using his powerful tail to balance himself as he weaved closer to a squirrel in silence .
He waited just a moment before lifting his front paws and launching himself towards his prey , smacking it full force against the ground with an outstretched paw . He was rather shocked as it lie twitching on the ground ; he almost never caught anything on the first try . Or the second . Or even the third . He flipped it over to deliver a bite to it's neck to put it out of its misery before heading back over to Leaf Eye and setting it at his paws .
" So , where do you stay ? " He asked curiously , sitting down and tucking his tail over his paws , " That is , if you don't mind me asking , of course . I don't want to sound nosy , " His ears flattened a bit .

"Very nice catch!" Leaf Eye purred looking at Barkpelt's kill, "See you'll get better and find your place eventually." He tucked the squirrel between his paws. He chuckled at Barkpelt's comment about the young warrior being nosy. "I'm currently saying the cave behind the waterfall, your leader and medicine cats don't come by that often so it's usually empty. Plus the stone there is good from my claw carvings." Leaf Eye explained. He flashed a friendly smiled, "You're welcome to visit, chances are if I'm there then I'm wandering around the territory." he laughed knowing he wasn't suppose to be in the territory at all.

Nightpaw wrinkled her nose slightly as Rosethorn left the Medicine Cat's Den. "What was that all about, Cinderfrost?" she meowed curiously, tilting her head at her mentor. That strangle prickling feeling crept through her once again, still wary of the large she-cat.

(Heck, I'm here. Sorry, busy day!)
"I.. I will; thank you Rosethorn," The tom sheepishly mewed, keeping his blue eyes toward the ground. Cinderfrost bid her farewell as he felt his pelt burn; he hadn't honestly heard those words before from anyone. Perhaps maybe Nightpaw, but she was his apprentice and she never had much choice in the matter. He found that he had retained the view that his clanmates still saw him as a pathetic burden, unable to hunt or fight, even past the point of becoming the medicine cat. And sure, he had an inkling of the idea that he mattered to the clan, but he was important? That made his stomach churn, both in a small sense of pride as well as anxiety. Honestly, it was mostly anxiety.
He looked lightly at Nightpaw and offered her a reassuring smile. "Politics," he mewed meekly, unsure of how much Nightpaw wanted to hear. He lowered his voice a little, slightly unsure of himself for even mentioning it, "Rosethorn and I... well, we're not so sure if we agree with how Eaglestar is running the clan." He took a deep breath and felt his paws quiver a little, knowing that if any cat should know about his terrors, it should be his apprentice. "I.. a-am deeply afraid that I'll be sent to the elder's den before I am ready... you know, because of how skittish I can be." He brought up a paw to show his nervous quivering. "Eaglestar has already shown his paw with his exile of Morningflight. I.. I am very lucky to be a medicine cat; I barely made it through warrior training and had that fact held over my head for moons. The way everyone looked at me... I don't think I could go through that again."
He cleared his throat and sat delicately with his thin tail wrapped around his paws, feeling a bit of shame rise into his throat. "I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to listen to my ramblings. I don't want to soil your own opinions with mine," he mewed with a slight smile, "You did well today, thank you for your help."

(( If there's anyone Rosethorn would fight for , It's Cinderfrost t b q h ))
Rosethorn padded about the camp , glancing about for any signs of trouble . Her eyes narrowed as she came to the realization that her brother had not been present , and it was unlikely that a patrol or hunting party was sent out . An irritated growl sounded from her throat as she flicked her tail , wondering what Barkpelt could possibly be doing out of camp . Of course , it was hardly any of her concern , she had better things to do . Probably . Somehow , somewhere .
