(Sorry for how late this is!)
Brightpaw eagerly organized the herbs she had just gathered at dawn, making sure that the placement for each one was perfect. She glanced around, taking a peek outside of the den. The camp seemed lively today, which placed a small smile on her face as she finished her task. She took a step back and admired her work, happy with the supplies that they had. She gave herself a small nod of approval before she stepped out of the den and walked towards the fresh kill pile, deciding to grab something for Cherrypetal as well.
—
Littleleap stepped out of the warriors den and stretched, reading a loud yawn in the process. He had been on patrol rather late yesterday, and yet found himself waking up early this morning. He took a moment to groom his face, feeling it was best to just stay awake this point. Perhaps he would go out to huntHe narrowed his eyes at the thought, trying to decide if he should or not. Such decisions were always so hard when he was still half asleep.

Cherrypetal sat outside the medicine cat's den grooming her fur. Once she was satisfied with how she looked she promptly got up and went back into the den to see how Brightpaw had done with the sorting. Cherrypetal smiled as she looked at the work that Brightpaw had done. She made a note to compliment the apprentice.
Nimblewarrior was still in the warrior's den, her back towards the entrance. She was in a bit of a grumpy mood due to the nightmare she had. she shook her head and softened her brow. sighing she got up and walked towards the entrance of the den. She stretched and made her way towards the camp entrance. she wondered what she would catch today and if she could share with her kits.

Sunspot stared at the fresh kill pile, having trouble deciding what to pick; she had already chosen a vole for herself but she was unsure what Cherrypetal’s favourite was. She frowned, after being the medicine cat’s apprentice for over 12 moons, she had expected herself to know such things. She eventually decided to pick a finch, thinking that she would allow her mentor to pick whichever she would like. She trotted back to the den with the prey hanging from her mouth, placing them both down in front of the she-cat, “good morning Cherrypetal.” She greeted politely, sitting down while she waited for her mentor to chose her meal.
—
“Oh, good morning Nimblewarrior.” Littleleap mewed, holding in another yawn as he spoke. He gave his chest a few licks before glancing to the she-cat, she didn’t seem in the best of moods but he decided it was best not to ask. “I was about to go hunting, care to join?” He purred, tilting his head. Hunting always made him feel better after all.

Nimblewarrior stopped in her tracks, dipping her head to Littleleap. "Good morning Littleleap!" She did her best to sound happier than she looked. " I would love to." She licked her jaw, then smiled.
Cherrypetal smiled at her apprentice. "Good morning Brightpaw, I appreciate the sorting you did this morning. I think we will go out and look for some rosemary for the elders. Its good for joint inflammation and I know that Doewatcher was complaining about her pain some days ago and she never came back to check in with me so It'll be good to have it handy." She looked down at the prey. Deciding on the finch, she picked it up and set it by her paws. "Thanks Brightpaw."

Littleleap smiled and nodded, "okay! Let's go." He purred in a cheery tone, giving the she-cat a gentle smile as he spoke. He noticed that Nimblewarrior seemed a bit off, maybe upset, but he decided it was best to not say anything. If she wanted to talk about it, she would have plenty of time to do so. He always would be willing to listen. "Hopefully we get a decent amount of prey, I feel like I've been catching less and less." He said, keeping his happy tone as he walked towards the camp entrance.
---
Brightpaw smiled and nodded, "of course. I'll gather it right after I finish eating." She said with a gentle voice, picking up the vole and moving to a spot were there was a small sun spot. She happily laid down, still smiling from the compliment that Cherrypetal had given her. She often felt like she could be better, but it seems like she had been only getting praises from Cherrypetal as of late. She eagerly ate her vole, determined to not waste any time.

(Also everyone im sorry im still working on the territory but feel free to give suggestions)
Cherrypetal started on the finch, ripping away at the feathers. Once she had finished she licked whatever remained of it off her mouth. she then scanned the camp to see where Brightpaw had gone and made her way over. She looked to see if Brightpaw had finished the vole before she spoke. "I think we will go to the sunning spot today as well."
Nimblewarrior smiled slightly then spoke. "Well it is leafbare." she hoped she didn't sound cross so she added a bit more. "although i agree, the prey pile seems to be getting sparse." She kept pace with him, ears perked for his next response.

for medicine cat den, maybe holes have been carved into the walls, over the years from erosion, leaving the perfect spots to have herbs to be stored?)

(Sorry! I thought I replied! Also some of the dens could be small rock shelters (Natural little caves formed for erosion) they could have brambles that were planted in front of them for protection. The clan could also just sleep outside like windclan)

Brightpaw nodded, ready to go. "Of course Cherrypetal." She mew eagerly, "I can go ahead while you eat. I don't mind." She added, noticing how fast she had ate. She felt a little embarrassed but she was sure Cherrypetal was used to her being like this. She was always on the go, even more so lately. Leaf bare always made her more nervous than normal. It was a season of death and disease. "I'll stay safe- I was already out at sunrise." She added hopefully. She was 20 moons already, but there was still no sign of her receiving her name. She hoped that being independent was what Cherrypetal was looking for- but she couldn't help but worry that there was something else she was doing wrong. She was always trying her best but it often seemed like it wasn't enough.
--
Littleleap sighed, "well yes, but it doesn't help my pride." He told her with a slight laugh, a little embarrassed but he shook it off quickly. "Some of the apprentice keep coming back with a ton of prey. Am I old now? Not as spry as I used to be?" He asked, a bit of an overly dramatic tone to his voice as he tried to make her laugh. He hated seeing his clanmates like this; it was natural for him to want to make her smile. "We old cats have to show those apprentices up- we have a reputation to up hold." He added in a joking way. Looking up at Nimblewarrior to see her reaction.

(omg thanks those are some good suggestions. Hopefully, I get the territory done soon. It makes it hard to RP when you don't know the scenery. )
Nimblewarrior let out a laugh and let it soften her face even more. "I think we could do it." She said quickly. "Show them up? Though the fact that they are bringing in more prey than us is unusual." she pondered for a moment, her brows furrowing. She looked to littleleap unsure of what to say next.
Cherrypetal coughed suddenly, a feather flying out of her mouth. "Excuse me!" She said quickly. She felt her cheeks go warm. She looked to Brightpaw who was staring at her with intent. Cherrypetal thought for a bit before replying. Brightpaw had been showing signs of improvement and lately, it was hard to find something for her apprentice to do. "Yeah go on ahead Brightpaw, I'll catch up." She decided.

Doewatcher made her way from the elder's den to the main part of camp and looked around she dipped her head to Swanpaw and Bonestar. She was unsure who would want to talk to a grumpy elder like her. She still felt a little out of place in the camp even after the many seasons she had been there since coming as a kit.

Cherrypetal had been grooming her fur when she noticed Doewatcher come out of the elders den. She got to her feet quickly and wandered over to the elder. " Good morning Doewatcher!" She chirped. "Hows the joint pain?"

"Hows the joint pain?" "Hello Cherrypetal." Doewatcher said a little startled by the other cats chipper mood. "I'm a little achy today. I think it's the cold. I'm hoping moving will help some." She said |

"Need any more herbs for your pain?" Cherrypetal said softly. She often wondered about getting to an elders age. Then she thought deeper. She was barely 10 moons into her role as the sole medicine cat, and Bonestar appointed her an apprentice. She didn't get it, she was no were near retirement. But she knew the leader was stressed without a deputy. Maybe he was just taking extra precautions. But what happened when Brightpaw became a medicine cat? You couldn't very well have two medicine cats, could you?

"Something small to soothe the ache would be nice." Doewatcher said. She padded closer to the medicine cat and wondered what she was thinking about. "Are your stocks of herbs doing well despite leafbare?" She asked trying to make polite conversation.

"Yes surprisingly. Brightpaw has been sorting the herbs that were a bit untidy and I discovered I have a good reserve of herbs in stock. Here's hoping I don't need them." She paused to look the elder over. "I'll go see what I have for you" Cherrypetal got up and went to the medicine cats den brushing through the ivy curtain that hung there. Looking around she realized she didn't know where most of the herbs were now. She smiled and decided that she would do some careful looking. Ginger would do the trick she thought. It wasn't too tough to chew but she would make sure she made it a really small piece for the elder. She found a stalk and broke off the end. It was a little bigger than she wanted. Bending her neck down she used her mouth to bite off a smaller piece. Satisfied with that one she retreated from the medicine cat's den and went back to where she had left Doewatcher. "Here. This should help, for the time being, let me know if it gets worse." Cherrypetal meowed sweetly as she set the ginger down in front of Doewatcher.

Littleleap grinned, now walking in a slight trot beside Nimblewarrior, "this cold is simply too much for our old bones." He joked, giving her another smile, glad he had made her laugh. He nudged her playfully, "I guess it just shows how good of mentors they have. Anyways, let's go to the tree line, I'm sure we will find some rabbits out still, maybe a finch as well." He suggested, taking a few steps ahead of her. The air was nice a crisp, it felt good on his fur. Despite how carefree he appeared though, the tom remained alert for signs of any prey that may be hiding nearby, something that his perked ears made obvious. He caught the scent of Brightpaw nearby and glanced over, seeing her picking some herbs. The siblings exchanged polite hellos as he and Nimblewarrior walked by. He always felt a little guilty for not being close to his younger sister, but the age gap and difference in ranks made it difficult for them to relate. He found that Brightpaw seemed to feel the same way, never really seeming too interested in her older brothers.

Nimblewarrior nodded her agreement. She felt more settled and she was glad that Littleleap seemed to be trying to cheer her up. She licked her mouth at the thought of a rabbit, her stomach growling. She had not yet eaten. She stopped to sniff the air, her tail twitching. smelling no prey she went back to following after the tom. "I hope I catch a rabbit, I could use a good chase." She smiled. Her heart quivered in anticipation and she let out a purr.

Doewatcher glanced over to the medicine den as Cherrypetal walked in. She followed the she-cat's movements as she came back with the ginger. "I'm glad the stores are well stocked. Leafbare is hard enough without struggling for herbs." She took the ginger and started to chew it. She swallowed hard and licked her lips. "That wasn't too bad of a taste." She said calmly. "Thanks."

Cherrypetal was silent for a moment as she quickly worried about herb storage depleting in the harder days of leaf-bare. She responded to Doewatcher with a calm tone.
"It's what I'm here for. I have Brightpaw to thank about that, she's been an amazing help her entire apprenticeship. This also makes me wonder why Bonestar gave me an apprentice so early. I'm nowhere near elder age." She paused to lick her chest fur. She continued on with a slight edge to her voice. "Brightpaw should have her warrior name by now. If I'm being honest."

Doewatcher smiled. "Bonestar just wanted to be prepared. You never know when we could need more than one medicine cat." She said. She didn't think it was meant to be so Cherrypetal could retire soon that she had an apprentice.

Littleleap smiled, "I feel like I haven't had rabbit in a while." He told her, his voice growing quieter as they neared the trees, intently watching the tree line for any prey that may be lurking. The tom tilted his chin up as he attempted to catch any scents he could, he looked to Nimblewarrior and smiled when he could clearly smell squirrel. It was no rabbit, but with two of them, they would be able to catch it with ease. He kept his steps light as they neared the source, his ears perked up.
