It took her some time to get back but here she was and no time to waste! Springpaw was getting sick of the taste she was getting from these herbs she had. She would never understand how Tansypaw stood the taste of them when she had to use them. She had to stop herself from spitting out the plants on the way here. "Tafypa!" she called voice muffled through her bundle of herbs. She had come bursting into the den, some might find it rude but she wanted these things outta of her mouth now! "I gof plaf's!"

Larkstar nudged him and Crystal let out a huff of protest, vision hazy and unfocused as he forced his eyes open again. Why did they keep disturbing her sleep? She was sick of being awake. Everything hurt, and keeping his eyes open was so hard.
She was just about ready to close her eyes again when the other cat spoke, holding a paw out to her. He lifted his head, giving the pulp on her paw an investigative sniff. "Feel better," she echoed, throat stinging as she talked.
She blinked up at Tansypaw, trying to focus. She seemed kind, offering him food and water, and he did want to feel better...
Wriggling a little closer, Crystal lapped the yellow stuff up. It was a little weird tasting, but it wasn't so bad. "...What is it?" she asked. How could that stuff make her better?
That dealt with, Crystal tried to speak again, head throbbing. "Hungry, thirsty," he echoed again, then devolved into another coughing fit, gasping for breath in between coughs.

Stormykit watched warily as Tansypaw spoke to Larkstar. Was she going to leave them here? She fought the urge to protest. Larkstar's gonna help to make Crystal better, she thought, and she's gotta go get that stuff to do it.
Tansypaw wasn't licking her fur backwards anymore, so she stood up, padding over to the same nest as Crystalkit, pressing against her to keep warm. Her head throbbed with the movement, but it made her feel better to be where she could keep a proper eye on him.
Stormykit pulled her ears back anxiously as he began to cough again.
"She keeps doing that ever since we got stuck in the water," she mewed urgently, looking up at Tansypaw with serious eyes, "and she keeps sleeping, all the time. I'm coughing too, but not that much. You're gonna make him better with the stuff Larkstar's getting." It was less of a question and more of a statement - Crystalkit would get better, and there was no one who could convince her otherwise.
Her stomach grumbled. She had been too tired to hunt in the last day or so, and even before that she'd barely managed to catch them any food. Still... Crystal should eat first.

While helping Firetail into the medicine cat’s den she called out “Tansypaw are you here?”She helped Firetail over to a nearby patch of grass inside the den to sit.

Oh? How unexpected. Sure, Tansy has had her paws full as of late but the sudden burst of noise is a welcome one. Especially when she realizes it's Springpaw! With herbs! What a welcome, welcome sight. Smiling at the other apprentice, she trills in greeting, making her way over to look at what she's brought. Some things she didn't have! Wonderful! Elderflower was an herb she hasn't had in her den at all, so she was excited to experiment with it as Coldamber had request. Dipping her head respectfully, she gestures toward a laid out leaf with herbs already upon it that she had been sorting.
"Go ahead and set 'em over there. Thanks Springpaw. It means a lot that someone's actually gettin' out there and givin' a damn about how low our stock is." There wasn't any possible way she'd be able to heal much of anyone without the supplies to do it. Just thinking about it has her huffing out a sigh. "Any time ya feel up for it, the help is awesome."

Blossomkit sighed, reluctantly eating the herb. even though it tasted yucky. After all she did want to feel good again. She guessed that she would be staying in the stinky den for a while. She nodded, making herself as comfortable as possible. Soon enough she dozed off. A while after she fell asleep the kit's breathing slowed down before halting completely and her body went limp. Blossomkit was gone. @silver.

It almost as if it happened instantly. One moment the healer's back was turned to continue her work and the next she noticed the ragged breathing of the kit sick in her den had gone silent. Anxiously making her way over to offer the small bundle of fur a sniff, she listens closely for breathing... Only to find none. Another clan mate: gone. It was hard telling herself she had done everything she could. It was hard to understand that if this kit had come to her sooner maybe she would have been saved. Without words, without tears, Tansypaw licks at the kit's forehead one last time.

The kit nodded along, though she was paying more attention to the sorting than Tansypaw's response despite being the one who asked. A few things stuck out to her, however, and she processed them silently.
Tansy is an herb, according to the older cat. Eaglekit couldn't remember being taught anything about herbs in her short time with her family, but then again she couldn't remember much at all. She studied the herbs in front of her, wondering which one tansy was.
The second thing that stuck out to her was the mention of "twolegs". Those sounded terrifying?? What sort of thing only had two legs?? Well, she supposed birds had two legs, but did that really count? She resolved to ask Rushwater later, if she could find him and he would talk to her. She got the strange feeling that Tansypaw wouldn't be open to discussing these creatures, or her time spent with them, willingly.
Finally, Eagle felt as though each section of information she had been given had been processed, and was finally ready to respond. Tansypaw had answered her question about her name, so Eaglekit thought it only fair if she told her name story as well. "Rushwater said he named me Eaglekit because I was stronger, a-an' braver than the eagle that snatched me." She frowned, not looking convinced. "But I think he's just saying that."
"I don' remember my name before I came here." She admitted quietly after a moment, but she didn't sound too sad over it. "I think... I remember trees. I remember me mami singing about trees, about how important they were." She paused, and a sad sort of smile crossed her face. "She was always singin' me to sleep. Maybe I had a tree name!!" Then the sadness was gone, and she tucked her paws further under her chest and continued talking. "What does tansy do? Does it taste good?" A pause. "Do you eat it at all...?" She looked again at the herbs before her and reached out a paw to gesture at one--which most certainly was not tansy. "Is this it?"

Talking to the little one was refreshing. As of late she feels as though she's been dealing with constant disrespect and malice, so to be spoken to so politely was a nice change of pace. Allowing a smile to find it's way onto her features, she listens to Eaglekit with interest, glancing over at her every so often to prove that she was paying close attention to what she was saying.
When the conversation takes a turn to her mother, Tansypaw's heart tightens in her chest. It's an uncomfortable feeling and she hates it. She shouldn't be so torn up just listening to another talk about how her mother used to sing her lullabies just like her own mother used to do but she was pathetic and still mourning that loss so the fresh pain stings. Thinking on it her smile falters a bit but is quickly fixed back into place. Didn't want Eaglekit to think there was anything wrong here! No-siree.
"Well, I think that's a great name. Name's are always better when they got meanin' behind 'em, I think. It's pretty cool that ya managed to best an eagle. Never seen one before but I know they're dangerous."
Deciding to forego the mother conversation entirely, she stares back at the herbs gathered at her paws. If she had tansy on hand she could gladly show the kit what it looked like but alas. Leafbare and lazy clan mates were a curse. Maybe she would venture out on her own to search at some point.
"Nope, not it. I don't got any right now, but once I do I'll be sure t'a show you." Slowly her gaze shifts to rest on the smaller cat once more, watching carefully to see if she was paying attention. "So tansy's a flower. If you've ever seen a dandelion they look pretty similiar, except tansy has a lot stronger of a scent. It helps coughin' and the sick cat's only supposed to eat a little bit. That all make sense?"

That was a stupid question. When wasn't she busy? Had her paws full at all times. Stopping what she's doing, she turns to give the other a quick once over, searching for any kind of injury to thankfully find none.
"Yeah? What's up?"

"Yeah, 'm here. Where else would I be?"
Seriously. At this rate she was going to wither away with how infrequently she left her den. Coming out from the back where she would usually rest, she eyes the pair closely, trying to discern what she was in for. One warrior in a nest already was indicator of which one was injured but she couldn't see any visible injuries. Huh. She makes her way over to get a closer look, head canting off to a side in confusion.
"What's up?"

Dandeliontuft walked in, dripping with water and shivering, Garlicfeather close behind. Tansypaw? She meowed, hoping she wasn’t disturbing anything.
