Maplekit trotted in. "A wasp stung me!" She cried. Her nose was swollen up and it hurt. "Ouch!!!!! My nose hurts!!"

Willowpaw padded in, and meowed slightly louder than necessary, “Hey, Lightningstorm? Rabbitpaw? I was just wondering if you could help me?”

Before responding to the tom's question, the molly vanished into the herb stores, going through the winding tunnels deeper underground with the herbs him and his apprentice had gathered. Swiftly, she picked a couple of poppy seeds and dandelion. Simply making sure the massive amount of stings this cat had managed to obtain wouldn't infect wouldn't be enough if they still stung like all hell when he woke up. She'd have to slather them up with a nice numbing agent while the worst of it was dealt with. Content with her selection, she padded back towards Ashcloud, returning his grin with one of her own.

"Something along those lines, innit?" she purred coyly, offering the tom the two poppy seeds. "Gratefully for you, you'll be fast asleep for the worst of it. Eat those two and follow me down these tunnels. I've got some nice, comfortable private nests for situations like these. Once you're asleep, I'll be treating those injuries and removing those stingers before they do you any more harm. If all goes well, you'll be almost good as new by the time I'm done... swelling not withstanding."

The smirk on her face lighting up even more after speaking, Lightningstorm waited for the tom to eat the seeds before turning towards the tunnels leading to the patient nests. The poppy seeds wouldn't knock him out instantly, so he would have more than enough time to get to a comfortable spot before he inevitably slumbered off. Well... as comfortable as one could get looking like that, in any case. Stars almighty, what a mess. When would warriors learn to ask politely before approaching the bees? That's what she always did and they never seemed to mind her one bit. She'd have to make a note to ask the first cat who managed to gather up honey without coming back looking like something a vulture dropped on the way back home how they'd managed. Otherwise she'd be running out of warriors faster than she did honey, and somehow, she didn't think Twilightstar would appreciate that.

Bouncepaw waits in the entrance of the medicine cat den, calling out nervously, "Lightningstorm? Are you there?"

He waits for her to reply, or for someone else to reply that she wasn't there. Honey threatens to drip from the honeycomb in his mouth, and Bouncepaw has to be careful not to accidentally swallow or drop any. His voice is muffled because of this. He also has a few stings on his rump and hind leg, though there's not many. There's not ten in total.

(I got us permission into the med cat den, yay. We'll just have to wrap this up, I think.)

Ashcloud
“Ugh.”

"All that I can hope for is that after this, I will be part bee." Ashcloud said before he picked up the poppy seeds in his mouth though he didn't quite eat the seeds right away. Part of him worried that he if ate them too soon he would collapse before he got to the nest. It was irrational, he knew, the medicine cat should know better but he was worried about making things worse so when he saw the private nest he ate the seeds finally and laid down. Never did he know that there was a private nest but it did make him feel more relaxed, or maybe that was just the poppy seeds talking. "What a nice nest..." Ashcloud said as his speech started to slow. "Got to get... hurt more often." He said with a smirk before laying down, feeling sleep around the corner.

Burnetpaw followed behind the golden apprentice, brown and white pelt still bristling from the pain of the stings that dotted her skin beneath. She wasn't entirely sure whether to wish her pelt had been longer and thicker in hopes of fending the bees off, or be grateful for the fact that her fine, wispy fur allowed the stings to air out and not become too painful. She added her honeycomb next to where Bouncepaw had dropped his and sat a little behind him, not saying anything in lieu of his first call. Hopefully Lightningstorm wouldn't fuss over her too much. If there was one thing she hated it was cats that fussed and clucked over her welling being a mother hen, telling her that she must be in pain or she's been very brave. Even the thought of someone doing that to her made a faint growl rumble in her throat, only loud enough for her to hear. She was very close to being a warrior, so she didn't want to be treated like a newborn kit.

The apprentice was shaky at best, a fact that didn't escape Lightningstorm's notice as she slowly ushered her into one of the private nests inside her den. Leopardpaw would need time to recover and come to terms with what had happened... especially if her fears were correct and there was no saving the paw's vision. Slowly, she prepared the herbs, silent as she debated on what to tell the spotted she-cat. The medic instead focused on the apprentice's movements, on how she adapted to the darker light conditions. See if she had even noticed a difference. If her eyes had needed time to adjust or if there was nothing left to get used to the trickling light of the underground.

"I'll need you to keep your eyes open, love. Going to be dripping in some medicine into your eyes and see if it can work some of its herbal wonders and better your injury. After that I'll be covering your eyes with some cobwebs while you recover, just to avoid unnecessary light or debris of... well... anything really irritating you. Now, hold still for a moment, alright? You might feel a small, cooling sensation, but it shouldn't sting."

Lightningstorm hadn't lied. About the reason why she would be covering Leopardpaw's eyes while the injury got better. She really didn't want any fur or dust making the open wound any worse. And the light would be a problem... or rather the lack thereof. It would be easier to come to terms with it slowly. To not find herself instantly unable to see even as she recovered and potentially make her injury worse as anxiety ate her away.

By the time the cobwebs were ready to come out, she was certain the apprentice would have realized what was up on her own. The extent of the scratches she had received. However, there was no reason to hold that over her head as she recovered. Not as far as the herbalist was concerned, in any case. It would change nothing in the long term... merely give her heart and mind to accept the inevitable and figure out how to move forward at her own pace. And if she was wrong? If the eyes could indeed be saved? Then she would have worried a patient for naught. Best be patient and wait. For Leopardpaw's sake.

@Idiotic.Bean101 [Leopardpaw]
| Figured this could be the end of the healing roleplay with it assumed that Lightningstorm applied the medication and wrapped Leopardpaw's eyes if you preferred, but I am opening to continuing it if you want to get one extra post in before Leopardpaw falls asleep! This took longer than expected overall between the patrols and events though, and I would hate to hold you back on this any longer than needed though, so entirely your choice!
