Spiderpaw twitched his whiskers. He supposed that was a good thing, but he often wondered if Whitesand would be proud of him. "I guess..." he shrugged idly. "That's what a medicine cat does: pull cats out of trouble in a way."

Ashfeather rumbled out a deep purr, "Okay okay, just making sure. I love you too Willownose." Leaning forward he touched his nose to hers, tail swishing happily.

"You already do, jumpfoot." Redspring snickered, before her gaze steeled once more and she grew serious once again. "Alright then. To start, different trees have different benefits when it comes to climbing. Some trees have sturdy bark. Others have weak bark. Always climb trees with sturdy bark if you can. Slipping on bark is a common way to fall and break a bone." Redspring instructed, approaching the first tree they could climb. The bark was uncrumpled, clinging tightly to the tree trunk. "Do you think this tree is good to climb, or one to avoid?" "Hm." Flyingpaw padded up to the tree and tested her front claws against it. Climbing trees was much different from climbing stones, but she believed she could it. "Yes." She looked back at Redspring. "This tree is a good one to climb!" “Excellent.” Redspring nodded, approving of Flyingpaw’s quick response. She had listened well to her lectures. “Show me how to start climbing. What are the steps?” |

"Sturdiness." Flyingpaw gripped the tree with her front claws. Excitement about reaching the top fluttered in her chest. "Then the boost." She got her back claws under her, so she could push up as she climbed and keep a momentum. "And repeat!"

Lavendersky listened to him, vaguely hearing the curiosity and wariness in his voice. "In a way, yes. Medicine cats are often fighting the impossible battle, pulling cats from the brink of joining Starclan before their time."

"But we're not always successful..." Spiderpaw flicked his ear, remembering Sunswallow and how the tom didn't survive the effects of the fire. And I used so many herbs on him too... Spiderpaw let out a sigh. Guess I didn't do enough.

She got her back claws under her, so she could push up as she climbed and keep a momentum. "And repeat!" "And repeat." Redspring nodded her approval once more, pacing below the tree and looking up carefully to observe Flyingpaw's movements. "A fear of climbing is the greatest threat to any Skyclan cat. Recite some ways that you can teach yourself to manage such a fear." She tested, wanting Flyingpaw to never be too afraid to stop climbing or to climb back down. |

"I wanna get to the top!" Flyingpaw exclaimed excitedly. She kept scooting up the tree. "I'm gonna be the best climber in SkyClan! Even better than Skystar! I'll be able to go so high, you'd think I'm flying!" She giggled. "Just like my name!"

Ashfeather rumbled out a deep purr, "Okay okay, just making sure. I love you too Willownose." Leaning forward he touched his nose to hers, tail swishing happily. "Well..." Willownose started, keeping close to him. "Should we get back?" she asked. She paused for a moment as she remembered her conversation with Redspring. She'd be able to tell right away that they were mates, wouldn't she? |

Ashfeather got to her paws, gently nudging her shoulder to help her up. "I guess so. I suppose there's no reason to stay out here is there."

"Not anymore. We'll go together." Willownose stood, shaking her pelt. Her nerves had finally worn off now that the confession was spoken. "As we should from now on."

Ashfeather felt light as he padded back to camp with Willownose at his side, as it should be for a long time coming. "Does that mean we can move our nests together?" he asked rather shyly. He had been pretty lonely at night with Shadowmask in the nursery, it would be nice to sleep right next to someone again.

"Certainly." Willownose answered. "It'll be getting cold at night soon." For as independent as she was, she would be glad to be warm at night.

Ashfeather felt his pelt get warm in giddy excitement as he thought about sharing a nest with Willownose. He wondered if Redspring would want to move her nest closer to theirs as well.. only to keep warm of course. "I hope the prey sticks around for a little bit longer. I can't even think about going hungry again."

"I definitely don't want to." Willownose shook her head. If only it could be Greenleaf forever. "I had enough of the smell of smoke. I don't want to have to deal with hunger right after."

Ashfeather scanned the camp as they walked in, wondering if anyone could tell that something was different between them. "There were already some leaves on the ground while we were walking through the forest. I'm sure some of the birds will start leaving soon. Let's hope the ground prey will stay out longer than usual."

Spiderpaw let out a sigh. Guess I didn't do enough."And not every cat wins a fight." Lavendersky meowed as she got to her paws, shaking her fur out and starting to pad out of the den, but her balance seemed...off. "This is why we gather all the herbs we can, because not every cat can be saved, but we have to try our bests so that there might me a chance they can be, no matter how slim." She meowed as she thought about it. "I have spoken too and heard of many cats who have seen the light of Starclan, but managed to return to the clans." |

Spiderpaw followed after his mentor. "It isn't fair that we should use so many herbs on a cat and try so hard to save them and yet we lose them anyway. What good does that do?" |

Firepaw pushed out of the apprentice den, shaking a few bits of moss out of his fur. He sat down and started to groom his fur while he waited for Buzzardfall to take him out for training. “Firepaw! There you are. You know, you’ve got quite the silent step. One might think you’re a Shadowclan cat, eh?” Buzzardfall snorted with humor as she padded towards her apprentice. “Wide awake? Good! Because we have a whole lot to do!” She promised. (Boop!) |

Firepaw looked up at his mentor’s voice and stood up, “What are we doing today?” He asked, shaking his fur out.

"We're going to be doing some tracking practice." Buzzardfall decided. "A Warrior's nose is a powerful tool. The better you learn how to use it, the better off you'll be. I'll need you to remember every scent in the forests by the time we're through!" Buzzardfall exclaimed, energy in her voice.

Firepaw resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Buzzardfall’s energy and followed her out of camp. “Are we going to look for prey?” He asked.

Firepaw resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Buzzardfall’s energy and followed her out of camp. “Are we going to look for prey?” He asked. "Yep. That's one of the goals. Prey, basic herbs, and threats too! You need to know as many scents as you can and be able to track them without fail. Hunting is much easier when he know what to follow." Buzzardfall mewed as she padded with a light skip in her step. "Tell me what you can scent right now." |

Spiritstar smiled softly at the activity in camp. She jumped down to the lower ledges.

(I'm so sorry my posts are probably gonna be short since I'm poofy right now, but I do want to get there ceremonies done. If no one likes the warrior names selected, just let me know. Since I don't know the cats well, I'm not sure how well I'll come up with names)
Spiritstar padded over to the rock pile and bounded upon it. "Let all cats old enough to climb gather beneath the Rock Pile for a Clan meeting!"

Firepaw paused as Spiritstar called out for a clan meeting and looked back at Buzzardfall, Guess training is going to have to wait.” He said with a slight sigh, turning around.
My cats gathered.
