"Whew, talk about stinky... Owltalon, Adderstike... I'm ready when you are!" He meowed enthusiastically, his long bushy tail waving eagerly behind him.

“One day I’ll be the greatest warrior of all the clans!”
Adderstrike was happy to help her clan in anyway possible but she still had some hang ups about medicine cats in general. She would never say these feelings aloud since she doubted that a med cat would care or have the time to listen to her... And why would she open her heart out to a random cat anyways? Someone who had nothing to do with the situation. Well, herbs. She needed to get herbs and borage was what was on the docket. She knew what the plant looked like well but she didn't want to interrupt as the others might not know.
It also seemed like her team had gathered before her and they seemed rearing to get up and get out of here. It warmed her heart to see warriors so ready and willing to help their clan. Some cats seemed to know how to disappoint her well but both of these cats had a good head on their shoulders. "Sorry for being a little late. I'm ready to go when you two are." Adderstrike said with a calm smile. They need not know how she felt about this truly. Honestly, she didn't fully understand the feelings she felt.

"Aye, hey Adder," she smiled at the warrior before turning back to snicker at Foxleap's comment. An amusing tom he was. "Al'ight, the teams all 'ere. Now, let's go find the borage." And with that, the scarred she-cat lead the group away from the others and ventured farther into territory. She opened her mouth a few times to try and smell anything vaguely unfamiliar and tart smelling (even borderline musky if she were to go off Foxleap's words). As bright and vibrant purple was, Owltalon's sight wasn't the absolute best. She could still see, but she was completely blind in one eye and had to squint in her other. Eh, it shouldn't be a problem, the cats she was patrolling with had a good pair of eyes (unless Foxleap had some kind of injury her roleplayer didn't know about).
That's when she saw it. Wait no... She smelt it. Again, seeing was pretty hard for her. Her eyes darted to and fro as she scanned the area for a blurry blob of purple. She squinted her eyes and gave the air a good sniff. She was indeed hit with something unusual and odd smelling. "Hey, found it! Or at least some of it." Owltalon cocked her head to the side and kneeled at the flowers. Yeah, she can't count them with all there colors spilling into each other. "Could one of ya be a dear and count these for me?" Without further questioning, Owltalon opened her jaws in hopes of retrieving the herb.
ROLLING FOR HARVESTABILITY... OWLTALON ROLLED A 1

The warrior almost couldn't tell, but when her pink nose hit rock, she knew that she missed the herb by a landslide. She giggled at herself for a moment before trying again, hopefully she wouldn't completely miss this time.

Berries berries berries, time to find some berries! Splashleap chirped a swift Sounds good! Let's roll guys! in the general direction of Berrypaw and her patrolmates respectively, before heading in the general direction of........not-water. Seemed clear enough, and there were even a few trees and bushes and stuff. For berries! The idea, if not the actual execution, of berry picking sounded fun. Alas, when she eagerly went to collect what went to collect the bluish berries from the pungent tree, their taste was far from the beauty they possessed.
In fact, it was positively disgusting. Regardless Splashleap soldiered through, doing her very best not to pierce them with any of her teeth because yuck! She did not want to taste that again! Fortunately there were plenty of them on the singular plant she had been able to find, and within but a few moments she had four of them stored safely in her cheek, like a little chipmunk. They still tasted kind of weird, and made her nose itch, but she had them and that was what mattered. Wready foo go? she called to the others, mouth a bit encumbered by it's berry burden.

Spiraltail
26 Moons
He/Him
Former WC
Spiraltail observed from a distance as Splashleap wrestled with the blue berries. The sight was both amusing and a reminder of how different RiverClan's tasks were from what he was used to in WindClan. The taste of those berries was nothing short of dreadful, but Splashleap's determination was admirable.
"Looks like you’ve managed quite a haul there," Spiraltail said, his tone light. He stepped closer, his eyes scanning the area for any other useful finds. "I came across some blackberries over this way. They should be much sweeter and easier on the taste buds..maybe you can get the taste out that’s what I did."
He flicked his tail toward the bush where the blackberries had ripened. "Let’s finish up here and get back before it gets too late. We still have plenty of daylight left to gather more if needed." Spiraltail gave Splashleap a reassuring nod, ready to lend a paw or offer any help she might need as they continued their patrol. He looked over to the other cat and asked “Are ya ready to go?”
Re: A Rock & A Hard Place [HERB GATHERING EVENT - RIVERCLAN EXILE]
Foxleap flashed his team a toothy yet warm smile, positivity with winning this competition practically radiating from his pelt as he ventured out into the territory with Owltalon and Adderstrike. The young tom padded closely with his group, holding his muzzle low to the ground as he sniffed for the pungent flowers. He wasn't confident in his herb hunting abilities but it's striking color and interesting scent definitely helped. Approaching a patch of shrubbery, Foxleap began inspecting in and around it thoroughly before his ears pearked at the sound of Owltalon. He bounded towards her voice before approaching and taking a look at the flowers she had found.
"Three borage flowers... well done, Owltalon!" Foxleap praised, his bushy tail waving excitedly at the discovery before calling out to Adderstrike, "Adderstrike! Any luck?!"

Irisfrost
She would be looking for coltsfoot with Fadingstar and Larkwing. Two cats Irisfrost knew very well, although not personally. She studied the herb Berrypaw had dropped by her paws, committing it to memory. A short, low-growing yellow flower that grows mostly near tree roots. We need to make sure to grab the leaves. With a nod of understanding to Berrypaw, Irisfrost made her way over to her patrolmates. "Good morning," she said to them.

The apprentice turned to face Brokenstream, her eyes alight with excitement. "Oh yep yep, of course! I'm uh, I'm really stoked! Where to first? I wanna hit allll the stops!" She smiled ear to ear, her giddiness reaching all the way down to her paws. Oh this was weird, she was being weird wasn't she? She should definitely apologize. "Sorry! Sorry! I'm uhm, I'm just excited, ha."

Deerspark was (rightfully) scared and amused by Marigoldpaw's excitement, earning the apprentice a slight and sideways smile. He then turned to Brokenstream and dipped his head to the Lionheart. Heck yeah he was. As long as nothing absolutely horrible happened. Gee, what a way to think. Great job, Deerspark, that enthusiasm of yours is really shining through.
Whiskers twitching in amusement, Brokenstream gave the apprentice a friendly swish of his tail over her head. "No need to apologize, it's a good quality of a true warrior to be excited about helping their Clan." He said with a wink, turning to look at Deerspark. "Looks like we're all ready then." The Lionheart said cheerfully, turning to begin walking away. "There's a small stream around here, I'm pretty sure. Let's start there." With a flick of his tail, he padded into the undergrowth.
Eventually, he did come to a small stream that was surrounded by several trees. "Deerspark, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but Marigoldpaw, come here." Brokenstream beckoned the apprentice with his tail. "A good place to find moss is either on rocks near the stream bed or on the bark or roots of trees." He stated, hooking a claw into the soft green plant as he yanked a clump out from some tree roots. "But you have to be careful, try not to shred it with those sharp claws of yours." With that short lesson, he began to go to work on collecting more moss.
