[ all good! hope your hand recovers quickly! ]

Ah! There was Acornfall. He seemed friendly enough—until he didn’t. It was only a split second, but Flowerhawk could’ve sworn that something was different. Her own friendly demeanor faltered as it dawned on her that he was thinking of Blackbirdwing. Maybe he’s thinking I’m like Blackbirdwing. Stars, no. This was the exact thing she was trying to separate herself from. The reason she was so desperate to forget him and move on with life. Maybe he’s thinking something else. Look, he’s being so friendly. “Yep! Flowerhawk. And you mu—“ Her tongue caught on the syllable, but she continued almost seamlessly, “—must be Acornfall.” Clearly, he’d let whatever thought he had about her and Blackbird go. See, nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

From the moment Minkvenom opened her mouth, Flowerhawk did not like her. That’s mean, she told herself. You don’t even know her. Plus, worst-case, ThunderClan was so big that she could finish this patrol and never talk to Minkvenom again, right? “We—“ she started to say, but Acornfall beat her to it. He probably handled it better than she would, anyway. “What he said,” she mewed.

When they reached the creek, the tabby warrior followed Acornfall’s eyes to where the sick camp had been. She hadn’t been here since it was around. “Thank the stars they found the cure. That was hobb—horrible.” Flowerhawk hadn’t personally known any cat to fall ill or to pass away, but they were Clanmates—basically family, if you were sentimental enough—and that was enough. Tearing her eyes away, she nodded and split off in a different direction than Acornfall. Yarrow would be harder to find, probably, so Flowerhawk decided to save the easy herb for last and look for the white buds first. She tried to jog her memory of the last time she’d been here—had she seen any yarrow? The last time she was here was with Spiderlingpaw, Sagepaw, and… Blackbirdwing. Never mind, she was going to think of something else.

After several minutes, it became clear that yarrow would be harder to find than Flowerhawk had expected, though she’d stopped under an oak tree. She picked up the greenest leaves she could find and continued her search.
