Paintpaw had been resting in her nest, chatting with Daisypaw. Her plans to get up and walk around the camp with her fellow apprentice seemed intimidating, but she was also glad she'd be able to get up and move around a bit. It had already been a while since she'd even seen outside of the medicine den.

Daisypaw finished her prey, then got up with a stretch. She looked at Paintpaw with bright eyes. βAre you ready to walk?β she asked, tail flicking back and forth in excitement.

Nodding abruptly, Paintpaw almost immediately regretted it. Her legs were pretty much still folded underneath her and as she tried to wriggle them out from under her, she shrieked in pain with one move. Helplessly, she looked up at Daisypaw. "Uhm... would you be willing to help me out maybe..?" she asked sheepishly. She felt almost bound in her own pelt, dry blood and poultice still on her. She couldn't wait for the day where she could dunk herself in the stream without pain, able to clean her own fur again.

Daisypaw wasnβt sure of what to do, but she nodded fiercely anyway and brushed her pelt next to Paintpawβs, being careful not to apply pressure. βShould I help get your legs up?β she asked fretfully.

Looking around her as if she was looking for a mouse running in circles, she finally looked back to Daisypaw. "Uh.. I might be able to do it... Can you press against me? I feel like I might fall if I try to balance by myself," she confessed. She'd been in her nest a while, and hoped that her legs would do her good and she wouldn't completely rely on Daisypaw. Come on, try your best! she encouraged herself.

Daisypaw pressed closer until they were both steady. βYou can do it!β she encouraged. She was being as patient as possible, but she was ready for Paintpaw to be able to train and hang out with her more - without being stuck in the medicine den with her.

Paintpaw's jaw clenched and clicked as she tried not to scream bloody murder from the pain that shot through every single nerve in her body. She felt stiff, as if she just fell in mud and it dried instantly around her. Her limbs were no different, barely able to place them underneath her without falling flat like a fawn. She kept her lips closed tightly over her teeth, so the only noises she could make from the pain were muffled grumbles and moans. She finally stood on four paws, panting and already pretty much out of breath. She gave Daisypaw a tired smile, but her ears and tail were up happily.

DIasypaw smiled and purred. βGood job!β she said, then narrowed her eyes teasingly. βThe next step is moving!β Inside, she was nervous about moving, though, as she had heard Paintpawβs groans of pains from just standing up. But she believed in her wholeheartedly. βAre you ready?β

Nervously, Paintpaw returned Daisypaw's gaze, and nodded quickly, but she still felt uncertain. "Let's... let's try," she meowed, almost mumbling. She took a single, quick step out of her nest. More pain shot through her, but she felt like she wanted to move quick out of the mossy bedding, otherwise she may trip. She apologized mentally to Daisypaw as she continued her clumsy maneuvering, until her paws were out of the nest. She sighed, once again tired and a little more relieved. "Okay, I'm ready to walk out to the camp," she meowed, feeling a little more confidence.

βAlright,β she said firmly. βJust remember, if you want to stop, say something and we will. Your medicine cat doesnβt want you hurting yourself,β she added with a purr. The young she-cat began leading her out of the entrance, one paw step at a time, until they were out of the den. Cats were out and about, some headed out on patrols.

Paintpaw nervously kept an eye on all her paws, trying to focus on how they moved. She hoped she wouldn't gather too much attention around them, as she didn't particularly like to be the center of attention. Her being around for the fox attack made it much worse, though she was glad that no other cat was seriously hurt. She suddenly felt eternally grateful once more to both Daisypaw and Whisperwing, for saving her life, as well as Skystar for finding her in the gorge in the first place. The only times she ever looked up was in search of Robinwhisper, but she didn't try too hard. It took basically all of her energy and concentration just to move forward, and she felt guilty towards Daisypaw who was already assisting her with her exercise. "Maybe... Skystar will let us go to the Slumbering Stream sometime soon... I feel like I got caught in a spiderweb and it dried instantly." She glanced at her sorry-looking pelt, nearly wincing at the sight.

βThat would help,β Daisypaw agreed. The thought of dried cobwebs all her her body made her shudder, and she felt awful for Paintpaw. βBut weβd definitely need a warrior or two to come with us,β she mused. Skystar would want the most precautions taken with apprentices, but especially Paintpaw. βWell ask him when you get more used to walking around camp.β

Another moan and groan from Paintpaw occurred, but this time, due to her impatience for her pelt. She wanted to feel better again, and she had been feeling cooped up for the past several days since the incident, but she made it a more dramatic noise to mess with Daisypaw. "Alrighttttt," she agreed, dragging out the word and giving her a solemn look. She gingerly flicked her tail at her friend, once again trying to focus on walking. Pain shot through her still, making her want to walk without bending her legs at all, or even turning her body, but she managed... somehow.

Skystar figured that Hawkjaw made a smart decision, as he watched his deputy head straight towards the medicine den, looking as if he didn't mind the pain his shoulder probably gave him. I guess Dreamwave being around her daughters must hurt worse, he figured. He padded over to where Dreamwave and Robinwhisper stood, Dreamwave still holding the same, practically indifferent stare, almost as if she tried to appear clueless as well. He nodded to them both. "I'd like for you both to accompany me for a patrol towards the gorge," he explained, glancing at Robinwhisper. He paused before he asked, "Have you seen Bluepool around by chance?" Robinwhisper stood, dumbfounded. Didnt Skystar realize what happens when the three of them were ogether? She looked side to side, as if bluepool would magically appear from thin air beside her. "Uhhh no, I haven't." She mewed respectfully. "I only recently-" she was about to explain she had just gotten back to camp, but she cut herself off, remembering that she wasn't allowed to be out of camp. "woke up." she finished.

Snowfall yowl of pain wreck through the camp again. Her tail twitching she wondered if anyone would come and help her.

Dreamwave was about to reply to Skystar on Bluepool's whereabouts when she saw Bluepool burst into camp.
The blue she-cat looked around, and, spotting Daisypaw, rushed over to her. "Snowfall fell out of a tree... it didn't sound good," she meowed softly and quietly, unsure of how she should approach the situation. She looked at the medicine apprentice with wide eyes, wondering if the young she-cat would be able to help, and awaited instructions.

Skystar noticed Bluepool rushing in as well, and his eyes opened wider with a little bit of surprise on his face. "Well... I guess that answers that," he meowed. He had noticed Bluepool's urgency, but the she-cat was speaking too softly for him to hear what she was saying to Daisypaw. The leader turned to both Dreamwave and Robinwhisper. "Wait here for a moment, I'm going to go speak with her," he instructed, relatively quietly to both she-cats. He padded over, curious about the conversation, but his main objective was honestly to reprimand her for being out of camp alone. He didn't want to make any enemies within his own Clan, especially with young, prospective warriors, but he knew he had to enforce his own rules.

Daisypawβs eats flattened on her head. βI... Iβm not sure,β she admitted. βWe havenβt went over what to do for stuff like that yet... I donβt think we should try to move her though.β She looked uneasily at Paintpaw. βTry giving her some poppy seeds maybe?β

Skystar approached the group of cats, noticing that Daisypaw looked almost scared as Bluepool spoke with her. As soon as he reached them, Bluepool darted toward the medicine den. He blinked. "What's wrong with Bluepool?" He looked to Daisypaw sharply, but not sternly. He looked mainly confused, but he wanted a quick answer. He hadn't gotten to speak a single word to Bluepool before she bounded off.

Bluepool had nodded almost immediately to Daisypaw, then without even noticing Skystar, had hurried toward the medicine den. Poppy seeds, poppy seeds... The blue she-cat looked all over the herb storage and medicine den, back and forth in search of the little seeds. It seemed like forever before she could locate them then dashed out of camp again, towards Snowfall, without a thought for a consequence.

Dreamwave had not given any type of gesture in the form of aknowledgement as Skystar instructed her and Robinwhisper to remain there and wait for him. She just simply watched, that same look on her face as she did. She mainly studied Bluepool as she had gone to Paintpaw and Daisypaw, then to the medicine den, and back out of the camp. She stared after her for several moments before looking sideways at Robinwhisper briefly, then without a word, sat on her haunches with her tail tucked neatly over her front paws.

Paintpaw, obviously worried, returned the same expression to Daisypaw. She didn't know if she should encourage Daisypaw to go or not, as she felt tired and unsure at the same time. I'm no medicine cat, I should trust Daisypaw that Bluepool should be able to handle it... right? "Uhm... maybe you should go help?" she suggested, then a thought came to her. "Quietsong can go help Snowfall! Where is she?" Paintpaw looked around camp, wondering where the medicine cat apprentice was.

Robinwhisper returned her mother's sideways glance befitting turning, eyes studying the medicine den inquisitively. "That looks like trouble, what're you doing just sitting there like nothing's going on?" She spat. She thought her mother had been acting stranger than normal to her today. "Who made dirt in your prey this morning?"

Quietsong heard her name and padded to Daisypaw "is something wrong?" She asked worry. She had just got up from her nap. (Can snowfall and quietsong be sisters, snowfall could be from a older litter?)

[Lol Robinwhisper always makes me laugh]
Dreamwave's pelt twitched along her spine, giving the one obvious sign that she was irritated. Her eyes and voice remained cool and level, however, but if you knew her, you'd be able to tell how she felt instantly. "I just figured Bluepool would be out getting herself into trouble, and going against Skystar again this morning." As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Robinwhisper, daring her to say something like that again. "Not much we can do if it's not needed. She may have gotten another cat hurt near the river... or something." She blinked, turning her head away again, looking back towards the camp entrance.

βI think Snowfall fell from a tree and she needs help,β she said to Quietsong. βBut Iβm not sure what to do...β She looked nervously back to Bluepool, then at Paintpaw. She didnβt want to leave her friend back in the medicine den, but she also had her duty. Except she didnβt know how to help. She hissed in frustration.
