Oh my, she said.

Was it really as bad as that? It hurt like the stars themselves had cursed him, but surely it wasn't too serious. Conscious and aware; he could do that. Roseshard nodded, even though it sent a spike of pain through his skull, like a bolt of lightning. She reached for him and he winced at her touch. "It hurts," he rasped, relaying the information she asked for. "I remember falling, and hunting before that. I don't think I have forgotten anything." His words seemed hazy.

Poppy seeds sounded good, now.
Herringclaw would disapprove. A waste of the medicine cat's herbs, he would have said. Bear the consequences of your stupidity, and learn from them.
He would also call it weak, and dishonorable.

But Roseshard's father was dead now, and he didn't have to listen to him anymore.
"I'll take the seeds," he mewed.

A reliving of a past mistake

"Get out of our territory, mange-pelt!" Roseshard's voice rang through the clearing, startling the kittypet from her sunbathing. She rolled to her paws, pelt -that was definitely free from mange, and actually quite pretty- spiking.
"I wasn't doing anything!" She squealed.
Yes, get her off! Make her never come back! He pleaded to himself.
"I don't care!" His body yowled at her. "Get of RiverClan land!"
He didn't give her a chance to react. Roseshard felt his claws unsheathe as he pounced toward her. The kittypet gave another squeal, and pelted to the border, Roseshard hard on her heels.
The chase ended abruptly when she crossed over. Roseshard stopped and sat down at the edge of the border, expecting her to continue running.
But she didn't. The kittypet turned and sat down a few fox-lengths ahead of him.
"You are kinda rude," she mewed, flanks heaving.
No, no, no! Don't talk to her, don't reply! But his younger self couldn't hear him, and he was forced to listen as he remade the biggest mistake of his life.

Of course it hurt. Why had she even hoped overwise?

Mistyshard nodded thoughtfully, glad when he mentioned not having forgotten anything. That was a start, at least. So he wanted some poppy seeds.. she could get those, along with some cobwebs to wrap around his head to sort of cushion it? She hoped that made sense. Also some dock maybe.. Oh wait! blessed thistle could help with brain fog, if she recalled correctly. "I'll be right back with some herbs that will help you." (at least hopefully they would).

The herbalist quickly turned to the herb storage, bounding in there and grabbing a poppy flower. First she shook that and took 3 seeds from the ones that were now scattered across the floor. She could clean that later. Then, some blessed thistle. She was able to locate the odd plant pretty quickly, grabbing two leaves and carrying them with her as she made her way back to Roseshard. If cobwebs and dock would still be required she could grab those later. First she needed the warrior to eat the blessed thistle, before she could milder his pain by feeding him poppy seeds.

Mistyshard pushed the two leaves towards Roseshard, giving him a quick nod. It was meant to be.. reassuring, in a way? She didn't know if he needed it, as a grown warrior, but sometimes incidents like this were traumatizing. "This is blessed thistle - it should help you be able to think clearer and get your brain fog to go away. Just be aware that it's a bit bitter, but you're not a kit so you should be able to deal with the taste I hope." Then she also moved three poppy seeds closer to him. "...Eat these once you've fully chewed and swallowed the blessed thistle. They'll help you sleep and reduce your pain." Her amber hue sparkled with curiosity as she watched the herbs hopefully serve their purpose.

[ -3 poppy seeds, -2 blessed thistle (leaves) ]

Fadedshade padded carefully into the den, her limp heavy. The pain rocketed up her leg every time she stepped. “Mistyshard?”





@starry - Mistyshard

Oh gosh, that did not look to good. The silvery medicine cat squinted as Fadedshade limped into her den, seemingly in lots of pain. She would need to know that happened first, then she'd get all the necessary herbs and painkillers. Her ears swiveled towards the warrior and her gaze was alert. "What happened to you?" she questioned, in a haste to get the shecat healed before any damage could happen.

Spiritbunny watched with lazy eyes as the medicine cat swiftly looked over her injuries and just as quickly got to work dressing and fixing them up in just a few moves. It seemed a very delicate craft, healing, and Spiritbunny as another artist held respect for Mistyshard and knew that she was likely going to be one of the good ones. Though again, Spiritbunny didn’t know much about the other feline but so far she was a good one in their book. Spiritbunny shook their head at the offer of poppy seeds with a slight purr and then nodded their head towards the den exit, as though asking if they were in the all clear to leave now.

[ @starry - Mistyshard ]

Alright, no poppy seeds needed here. Mistyshard gave Spiritbunny a quick once-over, checking if everything was still in place. But it seemed to be effective and she was sure those wounds would heal up soon. Nothing too drastic, for now at least. She wanted to keep an eye on that paw in case it got infected - animal bites could become nasty for all she knew. "You're good to go for now. I want you to check back in once around half a moon has passed so I can make sure that paw isn't infected, okay?" With a nod and a flick of the tail she dismissed the feline.

[ you're welcome to post with spiritbunny coming back for the check up anytime. we can wrap this up here or you can do a last post ]
