( *stumbles into thread* — I'M HERE )

The morning was a pleasant one as Berryshine followed Sunheart and Eaglewing out to the lighthouse. She hadn't yet been here, and definitely took her time to marvel at the dilapidated structure. Twolegs were as daunting as they were intriguing; how did they create this, and when? How could they reach so far into the sky, if they had no wings?

Green eyes were wide as she gazed around, fascinated, until Sunheart's voice brought her attention back. She returned his warm blink with a little smile and nod; that was thoughtful of him, and she was more than grateful for the consideration of the deputy.

"A-Ah, perfect... that sounds great," she mewed, dipping her head. Though she could carry an obscure amount of herbs, the medicine cat was always grateful for extra paws and noses to help her find the precious plants that made up her work.

The small brown molly's head turned to Eaglewing when Sunheart spoke to her, and her head ran through the same things: memories of Cobwebstorm. Though the medicine cat had yet to speak much with Eaglewing, she still vividly recalled the then-apprentice rejoining RiverClan and being at Cob's side when Stormstar had died. That, on top of remembering the deceased leader, briefly tightened her throat... but Berryshine had gotten a bit better these past few moons at staving off that familiar, cold sense of grief.

It was thankfully washed away by Eaglewing's sunny, enthusiastic attitude — one that made Berryshine smile to herself. No wonder Cobs had liked her; she seemed... pleasant, and kind. Perhaps she could make a point to chat with her.

Then she looked back at Sunheart, briefly brushing her thin pelt by his as she stepped forward to inspect an interesting clump of grasses and wildflowers. "Mm... y-you're right, there's so much growing here." Perhaps the combination of full sun in some areas, and partial shade in others (thanks to the lighthouse's looming form) made way for a variety of plants to grow. "I'll s-start looking over here, then..."

Berryshine was spying plenty of yellow, to no surprise. Goldenrod, dandelion, maybe even some coltsfoot...? Or, no, was celandine, from afar? All of it was yellow. She'd have to get closer to inspect. The scent of a few other things, like lavender and maybe chervil? was on the breeze... it excited her for a moment, wanting to find all this place had to offer.

Not wandering far from the golden bengal, she firstly took her time to scope out the landscape before she'd start plucking away. She'd want to make sure that she left plenty to regrow, after all.
