{{ @jayfeather23 ; alright! just wanted to know. @christa ; sorry for not being able to post my response w/ maplefoot! pretty busy with ravenwhisker rn haha }}
The medicine cat's fur was slightly ruffled as she moved away from Basilpaw, the tip of her tail was nervously twitching as she stared at the apprentice, for a few heartbeats Ravenwhisker feared she was too late to save the young cat's life until she saw her breathing. It was faint, hardly there, but Basilpaw was breathing. Ravenwhisker sighed in relief, thankful that StarClan hadn't taken her away just yet. "We'll need to keep watch on her, keep her warm, make sure that she stills breathes." She meowed, mostly to herself. "Sootpaw, can you ask Foxtail to send someone out to find Foggystar? He'll definitely want to know what happened. I'd go myself, but I can't leave her now."

((Really sorry! Busy weekend and now school starts tomorrow so I don't know how active I'll be..))
((Border skirmish.))
Foggystar shook his head, his fur falling flat once more when he realized just how nervous he'd made Bogpaw. "No, you didn't cross it, thank StarClan... you're lucky a patrol wasn't nearby or-" "Or what?" A large tabby stepped out from the bushes right at the border, her hackles raised and her ears flattened to her head, showing that she wasn't here for discussion. "The big, scary ShadowClan cats will eat you up?" She lowered herself to the ground and lashed her tail, her blue eyes narrowed on RiverClan's leader. Foggystar curled his lip and mimicked her movements, the only difference being that his eyes would flick nervously to Bogpaw and he appeared more as if he was trying to submit rather than take up a fighting stance.
"B-But Basilpaw!" Specklefern meowed, watching for a moment longer before she listened to Foxtail and exited the den, trying to ignore the fact that she hadn't seen her apprentice take a breath in quite a while. "It's all my fault, Foxtail, I should've told her to stay on shore, I didn't know the water would be that cold and I didn't know that she was too young-" Her words were broken off by a rough sob that shook her body.
((I forgot how they do it too, I think maybe just lick them until they get warm and maybe use Yarrow? If they swallowed water, I guess))
Sootpaw felt the fur on his back raise slowly as he realized that Basilpaw was more than likely dead and their efforts were just about useless at this point. He opened his mouth to say something but something about how Ravenwhisker looked made him nod and agree to himself to keep going. He continued licking Basilpaw's fur while his mentor worked to start her heart, determination replacing the hopeless feeling that had made his gut go cold.

{{ Sorry! I've been stuck on how to reply. ^^; Hmm, maybe two cats who're in camp right now (Hawkdapple and Maplefoot for example?) are sent to go tell Foggystar about what's happened with Basilpaw and are thrown into the border skirmish too? Or would that be too many cats since foggy, bog, rain, and that shadowclan cat are there? :0 }}

((clover; Yeah, that's cool with me! Do you want this cat to be his mother :0? @gaius.; Sounds good, more ShadowClan cats can show up- just one or two))
The dark tabby she-cat straightened and glared at Bogpaw, letting out a ferocious hiss as she stepped closer to him. "The name's Crowfeet, what's it to you, fish-breath?!" When Crowfeet came closer, Foggystar darted out from his place and stood in front of Bogpaw, his fur fluffed out and his tail lashing while his claws dug into the ground. "Step away." He growled, making eye contact with the trespasser and not breaking it; he wasn't going to back down when his apprentice was being targeted.

(Ooh maybe!)
"Wh-wh you c-c-Callin' Fish breathe f-ffishface?" He spat back, silently cursing his stutter. He curled his lips into a snarl, trying to look tough in front of his mentor. The dark tom leered at the Shadowclan cat, clearly ready for a fight. The tom felt himself shiver as he glared at her feverishly.
"Specklefern. Don't do that to yourself. It wasn't your fault, okay? It could have happened to any cat. Don't blame yourself, it'll make everything worse. She'll be okay. She had the best cats working on her," she mewed soothingly, gently putting her tail on the distraught warriors shoulders. She couldn't help but think of last moon, when she lost her own apprentice. She knew what the warrior was feeling.

Crowfeet backed up a bit when Foggystar stood in front of the apprentice and snorted, letting out a laugh at Bogpaw's stutter. "Some brave words for a cat who can't-" She was cut off when the RiverClan leader swatted at her, catching her across the cheek and leaving a light cut. Foggystar arched his back and moved closer to the she-cat, baring his teeth in a snarl before he finally pounced on her, leaving the two to grapple together in the dust, biting and clawing like there was no tomorrow.
"What's all this racket??" The sound of a tom came from the bush and a smaller, yet still fairly large cat emerged, his claws already unsheathed and digging into the dirt. He caught sight of the two fighting and growled before moving his gaze to Bogpaw, showing he wanted to pick a fight.
"It didn't happen to any other cat, it happened to my apprentice on my watch!" Specklefern knew that she sounded pathetic but she couldn't stop the words from tumbling messily out of her mouth, as if the guilt filling her up couldn't make room for the thoughts inside her head.

Bogpaw let out a warning growl, lashing out with sharp claws, burying down his nerves. This was his first actual Fight, why did it have to be Shadowclan. "D-d-don't think of taking a s-s-step into o-o-our territory," he warned, attempting to look mean.
"I know. " Foxtail mewed softly, watching the grieving mentor with pained eyes. The tortoiseshell sighed, "what you can do is be there for her when she wakes up, okay?"

"Attack, Sandpaw!" Crowfeet ordered before she was interrupted by teeth at her neck, though was quickly able to toss Foggystar off before pouncing on him again, ripping out some fur with her claws before being pummeled by the leaders back paws on her belly.
Sandpaw, the tom, glanced over at his mentor and gave a nod before turning back to Bogpaw and leaping onto him, attempting to pin him down so he could sink his paws into him. The pale ginger cat with a darker tail had been assigned to Crowfeet moons before even though she was his mother. The Clan knew Crowfeet would be harder on her own offspring and so figured that it would be a good idea for her to mentor him, even though it made him mostly just grumpy and standoffish.
All Specklefern could do was offer an empty nod before casting a glance at the medicine den, her heart feeling as if it were going to break away from her body because it was beating so fast. "Yes, Foxtail.." Her words felt hollow and she was numbed with guilt and pain, not even seeming to notice the water on her own fur.

(Hello!)
Bogpaw let out a hiss, leaping sideways in order for him not to be pinned down. The brown tom let out a snarl, leaping towards Sandpaw, claws outstretched, fear the last thing on the young apprentices mind. Unfortunately him leaping left him wide open for an attack, something he hadn't considered before.
"Hey," Foxtail mewed gently, nudging the she cat with her head. "Basil paws going to be alright. You don't have to worry about that, okay? Our medicine cats have brought back cats with far worse before," she told her, fibbing a little. Basil paws condition was serious, and, honestly? The deputy was worried.

((Hey! I've got a little less than an hour and a half before I have to head off for school(only freshman and sophomores have to show up early today))
Sandpaw spun around and watched as Bogpaw leaped toward him before he jumped straight at him, knocking them both to the ground but not before the ginger tom managed to dig his teeth into the others leg. Foggystar tore away from his fight to see this but before he could help he was literally dragged back by his tail, earning a loud screech from the leader before he began wrestling with the larger she-cat once more.
"I know.." Specklefern murmured, though knew that her apprentice was most likely going to die in her condition. "I just need to sleep..." She meowed, shaking her head from side-to-side, as if trying to clear it of the fear and confusion she felt. ((Sorry these are so short, I'm getting ready still))

(It's ok!! I'm gonna poof for a while too. What grade are you in?)
Bogpaw let out an angry screech, battering the tom with his paws. The dark tom kicked out his back paws in an attempt to get Sandpaw off, leaving his face wide open. "G-get off o-o-of m-m-e, Foxdung!" He hissed.
Foxtail sighed, nodding her head, eyes wide with sympathy. The she cat didn't know what to do for her clanmate, but let her go. "I'll let you know if anything changes," she murmured, returning to the medicine cats den.

(Eleventh, I'm a junior))
Sandpaw winced at the battering and struck out at Bogpaw's face, clawing it as much as he could until he finally had to back off, the breath having been pummeled out of him. "Stop being such a wimp! I came for a fight!" He hissed, thought his words were spaced awkwardly since he was recovering his breath.
Specklefern padded to the warriors den and curled up in her nest before closing her eyes tightly, wishing for sleep she knew wouldn't come until Basilpaw was stable. Letting out a sigh, the she-cat wrapped her tail around her nose.

"Worried about your apprentice?" Sandpaw sneered, standing in Bogpaw's line of sight to purposely block his view of Foggystar. "Fight like a real warrior!" He moved closer to the other but clearly wasn't ready to take a leap at him, instead arching his back and waiting for the other to come closer to him.

{{ annnnnd i'm back! things are really heating up with shadowclan oh boy. }}
Ravenwhisker ran her tail along the tortoiseshell's back, the poor apprentice was in a very deep sleep and there was no telling if or when she would wake up. Ravenwhisker huffed, she had dealt with drowned cats before, but she couldn't remember a cat that had reacted this badly to it before, not even when she was apprenticed to Silverleaf. 'I bet he would know what to do about this.' She thought angrily to herself, shutting her eyes tightly as she remembered the former medicine cat. She exhaled sharply and opened her eyes. Self-loathing wouldn't help Basilpaw.
tagged ;; @christa {{ sorry for taking so long !! rip }}
As Maplefoot struggled about what to say, he really wished he had responded to Hawkdapple quicker before he knew about what happened to Basilpaw. He would've felt a perfectly content obliviously hunting with a Clanmate rather than feeling an intense amount of anxiety towards a half-dead apprentice. "Um... that's, that's not okay." He finally stuttered out, his tone of voice was small and nervous. "Is, is there something we can do? A-about this, I mean?" He meowed, looking at the brown tabby besides him. He wondered if she was taking this better than he was, because Maplefoot felt like he was going to faint if he thought about this situation any harder.

((Ah ! Sorry for disappearing and all, school is busy and I'm trying to get stuff figured out, haha. Good idea though!))
Sandpaw let out a ferocious hiss and tensed, but quickly faltered when he saw a cat stick his head out of a bush behind them, then turn his head, as if to speak to someone. "They've brought backup! I'm out of here!" He spat, glancing at Crowfeet before fleeing back toward his territory.
Crowfeet pulled away from the fight and watched her apprentice go before looking up to the cat Sandpaw had seen, and she would had of course doubted that if she wasn't seeing double from a good smack to the head Foggystar had delivered. "This isn't over!" She hissed at Foggystar, lashing her tail before darting after Sandpaw, stumbling a bit.
"Backup..?" Sootpaw echoed, his tone showing his confusion. "I just came to find you two.." He murmured, creeping over to the leader and Bogpaw to check their wounds. "What was that about?"
