"Ah, you must be from Twolegplace then. If you haven't seen mud before, I also assume you've not been off the stone in Twolegplace either, huh?" Buzzardfall observed, inspecting Lolo with a flick of her ears before she looked at Dreamlily and sighed. "I guess we should take her to Lavendersky and Spiderbite, unless you want to chase her off." "I doubt she can run if we did chase her." Dreamlily murmured softly, looking at Lolo before mewing. "Would you like some help with your injury?" "Yes, I will be totally grateful if I get some help!" Lolo meowed, and then asked in worry "Or you don't want one more mouth to feed? I promise that I will catch my own food" “Ah, so you can hunt.” Buzzardfall suddenly seemed a bit inquisitive, a thoughtful look in her eyes as she mewed. “Come with us… we’ll take you to our medicine cats, but! Only if you answer some of my questions along the way…” She offered. Dreamlily looked a bit curious at Buzzardfall’s sudden change of tone, but she moved to carefully support the injured young she-cat. “It’ll be okay… we’ll get you back to Twolegplace in no time, once you get treated.” |

Warblerpaw's throat felt thick and his pelt felt hot as the wisps of his dream returned to him, Robinstar's piercing blue eyes swimming to the front of his mind before he shook his head. He knew that she had been responsible for almost destroying the Clans in the past, he knew she was so evil that his own mother, a former medicine cat with the most compassion he'd ever seen had killed her, and yet.
Yet.
In his dream, she had seemed so...guilty. Remorseful. He shook his head again before rising from his nest and leaving the apprentice's den. He looked around the camp, seeing Spiderbite washing herbs, but not much else. He cast a glance to Spiritstar's den, wondering if he should speak with his mother about what he'd seen.

Twigpaw looked conflicted as he stared back at Splashecho, not wanting to throw his mentor onto the thunderpath but also, Nettlesting had barely shown him anything new to work on in quite a while. "M-maybe a bit." he mumbled, tail swishing anxiously.

"What's up with you?" Flyingpaw padded over to Warblerpaw with a curious tilt of her head. "I've never seen that expression on your face before. You alright?"
Splashecho lashed her tail. How dare Nettlesting neglect her kit! "Has Spiritstar been informed? How long has this been going on, Twigpaw?"

Warblerpaw startled a little, completely unlike the usually suave and over-confident tom.
"Nothing!" he said, his voice cracking a bit. He cleared his throat a bit before repeating himself. "Nothing, nothing," he said, sliding right back into his usual attitude. "I think the starling I had just didn't settle right. Crazy dreams."
The mottled tom swiped his tongue over his fluffy chest fur quickly before tilting his head.
"What's up with you?" he redirected, deciding to keep his visit with Robinstar to himself for now.

Flyingpaw looked at him like his whiskers grew twice as long, but she chuckled and shook her head. "I've been practicing my climbing--of course." She lifted her head higher. "Everyone is going to know me as the cat who never touches the ground!"

"Oh, is that right?" Warblerpaw teased. He leaned over her, nudging at her back with a paw as if looking for something. "Where're your wings then, Flyingpaw? You'll need 'em, to keep up with me."
He smirked at her good-naturedly before nodding towards Spiderbite by the den. "Hey, wanna come with me? I haven't had a chance to congratulate him on the new name yet."

Flyingpaw laughed. "Oh I would LOVE wings!" She paused though when he motioned to Spiderbite. Flyingpaw fumbled a frown. "Are you sure? He's always so cranky."

Warblerpaw kind of grumbled and shrugged. "Yeah...but I feel like a quick congrats wouldn't hurt," he said. "Earning a name is hard work, especially so for a medicine cat I'd think."
He jumped from the elevated path rather than pad down it to the floor of the camp, beginning to move to ward the medicine den.
"Spiderbite!" he said, an ear flicking as if to shed the last dregs of his restless night.

How dare Nettlesting neglect her kit! "Has Spiritstar been informed? How long has this been going on, Twigpaw?" Twigpaw shook his head, a little off put by his mother’s sudden change in mood. “Oh no, I haven’t told anyone. I don’t want to get Nettlesting in trouble. Maybe he’s just been busy? He taught me a lot in the beginning but over the past moon, I feel like we always practice the same things. I’m not learning anything new.” |

Did you grow up on the other side of the fences?” Buzzardfall asked quizzically. Maybe, if she couldn’t hunt, or if Spiritstar saw her returned to Twolegplace instantly, Lolo could help guide them to good hunting spots during their hunting patrols to Twolegplace. |

Lolo sighed recording her harsh life on the streets. "She had give up of me and my brothers after teaching this things.." |

It sounds like you’ve been through alot, and you seem so young, too.” Buzzardfall admitted. She looked back at Lolo, admitting. “Clan life is very dangerous. We usually don’t see alot of Twolegplace cats out here. There will be cats who will be terse around you, if you are brought to get treated. But, Spiritstar will need to know.” “Spiritstar is empathetic. She was a healer too.” Dreamlily admitted. “And, she is our leader.” The camp got closer and closer as they walked. |

Come in slowly and carefully, I’ll go up front so I can keep everyone from crowding or spitting comments.” She snorted with a flicker of a grin, before pushing into camp. As soon as Dreamlily moved to guide Lolo in, a few pairs of eyes turned to shoot at the entrance, the scent of a new cat filling the air. Redspring bristled from her spot beside Willownose and Ashfeather, a light hiss escaping her. “Who in Starclan is that?” Poppyclaw demanded sharply, while Flarestorm chuckled with interest at his brother’s side and snorted to him. “Put your claws away, she barely looks older than a young apprentice. Oh, yikes, looks like her paw’s a little messed up.” Jadefeather tilted her head curiously, recognizing the scent of Twolegplace. She had just never seen this particular cat around there before. |

Spiderbite looked over when he heard his new name called. He frowned when he saw Warblerpaw and Flyingpaw bounding down the cliff by the rocks then the safer path. Those two were bound to sprain their paws someday and they'd do it doing bird brained things...but it did feel good hearing them call him by his new name. "Warblerpaw, Flyingpaw, what do you want?"
Splashecho lashed her tail. "For StarClan's sake, Twigpaw, you can't fall behind in your training. What if something happens? If ShadowClan attacks the camp, you'll need to defend yourself. Or if ThunderClan turns on us..." She shook her head and leaned forward to press her head to Twigpaw's. "Your father and I wouldn't be able to bear it if something happened to you."

“Spiritstar!” Buzzardfall called, giving her clanmates pointed looks as she padded up towards the ledges of the leader’s den. “Oof. Er, Dreamlily and I found an injured cat on our territory… We would have chased her off, but she’s rather young, and she could barely run right now if she tried.” She reported with a hint of sheepishness.
“Do we look like a charity prey-pile?” Redspring growled tightly as she heard the report, narrowing her eyes at the injured loner.

Spiritstar slipped out of her den when she heard her name called. She blinked in surprise seeing the stranger amongst her warriors. Her eyes narrowed at the she-cat's sprain. It looked serious. Spiritstar turned to Buzzardfall. "what was she doing on our territory?"
Splashecho bristled and bared her teeth seeing the newcomer come into camp. Great. She was just another reason showing that SkyClan was going soft.
Silvercloud watched from further up the cliff with narrow and studying eyes.

She was just another reason showing that SkyClan was going soft. Silvercloud watched from further up the cliff with narrow and studying eyes. “It looks like she wandered a bit too far out of her usual walks of life.” Buzzardfall mewed, glancing at Lolo from across camp as Dreamlily stood still and quietly pliant at the young loner’s side. “She stated that she stumbled on a sharp stick or stalk, and she lost her balance down the ridge, leading to a sprained paw. I’m assuming she… pretty much fell into the territory. But, she’s certainly from Twolegplace. Maybe she can help us find hunting locations for our patrols, once she goes back to her home of course.” Buzzardfall offered to Spiritstar quietly. Echowing stared coldly at Lolo and Dreamlily, bristling at her sister’s sickeningly sweet empathy, even for those outside of the code. She felt a thrum of hate in her veins, hoping the young cat understood how awful the Clans and the Code could be, and how it would hate her too. |

Lolo explained, in fear: "I don't want to stay my whole life here, as long as my paw is healed, I'll come back to my usual life" Lolo thought: "Uh oh, they don't liked me! What should I do?"

"It's okay, I'm sorry for the hostility..." Dreamlily mewed softly to Lolo, nodding at her paw. "We have great medicine cats, and well... okay. Spiderbite can be a bit intimidating, but he's an extremely skilled healer. I'll stay with you, if you like." Nettlesting lifted his head to look towards where Dreamlily was standing with Lolo, his eyes flickering with curiosity and surprise. It looked like quite the nasty sprain, and he felt bad for the she-cat, even if she wasn't a member of the Clan. The young Warrior lifted to his paws, padding closer to see the situation better. "Well... So long as she's not planning on staying..." Poppyclaw grunted gruffly, slowly sitting down on his usual ledge and watching the newcomer with narrowed eyes. |

Twigpaw half-hid behind Splashecho as Spiritstar addressed the strange cat. Why had the patrol brought her all the way back to their camp! Now she would have no trouble finding it again in the future!
Ashfeather watched carefully from beside Redspring and Willownose. He placed his tail over Redspring’s shoulder as an attempt to calm her. The poor she-cat was obviously injured.
Briarpatch watched from beside Flarestorm curiously, she had just padded over to him to ask him to go for a walk with her when the patrol had brought Lolo back.

"A strange cat brought to the camp for a twisted paw. What an odd turn of events." Flarestorm mused with a leisurely flick of his tail as Briarpatch approached. He gave her a fond brush of his muzzle, before he hummed. "What's your thoughts on that, Briarpatch? You think Spiderbite will split her whiskers?" He teased, lazing on the ledge he shared with his brother, inviting her to join them. "Ugh." Poppyclaw rolled his eyes at their affections, but did not move or offer any scathing words in argument to their presence. |

Spiritstar flicked her ear. "No one said anything about you staying here permanently. You should know better than to cross our scent markers, but I cannot turn away an injured cat." Spiritstar nodded to the medicine den. "We have healers who can help you. After that, you must leave our territory." Spiritstar took a deep breath. Prey was already low. She didn't scent any on this stranger, but if the she-cat had entered their territory to hunt, Spiritstar couldn't allow it. "Be more mindful of the scent markers. We may not be so tolerable next time."
Spiderbite flattened his ears and visibly slumped. Spiritstar wanted him to use his herbs on this outsider? Stumbled into a stick and sprained her paw? He mildly grit his teeth. What kind of a clutz does something so bird-brained? I just refilled my stocks!

"Keep your fur on," Warblerpaw chuckled. "I just wanted to say congrats on the full name, you've earned it."
He turned his head when the stranger was brought in, a ripple of unease going through his pelt and his breath catching in his throat for a moment when Spiritstar emerged from her den, thinking of the tentative deal he'd struck in the Dark Forest.

Dreamlily gave a small smile of relief at Spiritstar's response. They could help treat the she-cat and bring her home. With prey so scarce, it was probably better for Lolo to be in Twolegplace anyway, and not here where she would probably be an extra mouth to feed, if they could feed at all. She nodded once to Lolo.
Buzzardfall flicked her gaze at Lolo again, hoping they could be assisted in return if they ever saw her again in Twolegplace once she was treated.
"Hng..." Redspring huffed her disdain, but calmed significantly at Ashfeather's tail on her shoulder. She supposed this was just a young wanderer, and that her injury was serious enough to warrant at least a bit of treatment. She was cross that Lavendersky and Spiderbite would have to waste herbs though.
Nettlesting blinked a bit curiously at Lolo, wondering all the kinds of things she had seen out there, if her Twolegplace scent meant that she was from there. He kept quiet though, knowing that if he asked the questions he was thinking, he would get alot of odd looks and hisses in return from the Clan.

Spiderbite blinked in surprise a Warblerpaw. "Oh." He sheepishly licked his chest fur. "Well...thank you. It's...it certainly took a lot of hard work." He followed Warblerpaw's gaze to the new cat. "And it seems some stranger is going to be my first patient as a full medicine cat." He huffed and flicked his tail. "Lovely."
