---------------------------



Since the battle with RiverClan, Skunkstrike had felt a tad slower and out of sorts; Likely a result in her new vision downgrade. Half the world was black, and she found it hard to judge the distance between herself and the cats around her. She flinched when Treepaw sprinted past, her vision perceiving it as just a bit too close. Oh, it wasn't that close...not even the feel of fur. Oh! Looks like they were heading out now! Skunkstrike raced after Treepaw, glad that she was taking some initiative.

The big black and white she-cat took a moment to glance at Spottedfire,, turning her head all the way around so that her left eye could see, "Treepaw's one of the best apprentices in ThunderClan," The chipper warrior purred, "Bound to be one of the best warriors too!" She went to 'wink' at Treepaw, but with her injury, she wasn't sure if the expression had been passable, or just a weird, awkward one-eyed blink.

Oh well! They arrived at their destination, and Skunkstrike meowed, "Alright, we're looking for marigold and some cobwebs. Pretty yellow flowers, grow low to the ground." She explained, "And hey, Treepaw! Bonus credit if you can find any lavender or even some moss. Lavender smells really nice, is purple, and can make you feel sleepy." She recalled Springpaw- or rather, Springlight, collecting some or asking for some on a patrol in the past.

"Get as much as you can, but don't wipe out the whole patch either." She added as an afterthought, "We need to make sure we keep a good supply growing for our medicine cats." With a purr, a twitch of her whiskers, and a swish of her plumy tail, Skunkstrike padded off, following her nose to the pretty recognizable scent of marigold. At this point she had half a mind to flirt with the medicine cats anytime she was asked out for a patrol like this now...but her intrusive thoughts scampered as she found a pretty mid-sized patch of marigold.

She took a little more time than usual to collect even a fair two stems, brushing her nose and whiskers over the flora and grasses to try and gauge herself. She could feel a prickle of frustration, and it made her claws itch. If she ever....came across that ginger fish again, she was going to even the score. Dark thoughts aside, Skunkstrike did her best to focus on her task, snapping the flowers clean with her teeth. She collected only three of the golden flowers, turning her attention over to a bush where she saw some faded silk between the branches. Or was it that? She couldn't tell. Sighing, Skunkstrike picked up her marigold and moved over to the bush, peering into the branches with her left eye to be sure that she was about to reach for cobwebs...and not about to anger some sort of spider as she reached in with a large paw and swished it about. Pulling it back, she found her paw covered in sticky brownish-grey webbing, and she sighed in relief.

[+ 3 Marigold, +1Cobweb]
