Ducking into the den but staying near the entrance, the leader let her eyes adjust before they surveyed the scene. Brokenstream and Blueberryfrost were here, as well as Rainsong. Frustration bubbled up in her at the sight; Bluekit lay limp on the floor, while Rainsong was mumbling stuff to herself over and over. Flattening her ears, the leader cleared her throat. "...'M sorry, 'bout Bluekit 'n Frozenkit." Her voice was quiet as she glanced at her paws, then at the lifeless kit. It made no sense... hawks never came near the ocean!
"There's nothin' for a medicine cat to do," she told Blueberryfrost as she padded forward and peered down at Bluekit. It was clear as day that the kit was already with StarClan as she leaned down and pressed her nose gently to the growing-cold fur. Lifting her head she glanced at Brokenstream, then Blueberryfrost. Her nose looked.... yeesh. "Go on 'n head back outside 'n help Seabreeze make sure the kits stay in the nursery. Hawks never come this far to the ocean, so I doubt there'll be anymore, but I need you 'n the rest of the Lionhearts on alert right now." Giving the tom a nod, Stormstar peered into the den. "Cobs? Berries? Got some patients for you." Where were those two?
accepted!! you may post a starter in the medicine den and tag primrose & adder . berry's never directly dealt with a deaf cat so she won't know how best to handle things and this will be her learning experience hehe. and she can definitely diagnose storm!
The meeting was over and it was time to get things checked out with her new apprentice. Adderstrike excited to try some of the ideas she had in her head already to train a deaf cat, but maybe the medicine cats would have an idea as well. The warrior pawed Drizzlepaw and motioned him to follow her, Once she actually walked into the den she felt her breath get caught. That's right... Still Adderstrike didn't want to see that there was new cats here. "Hey... Um, can anyone help me? I think Drizzlepaw is deaf..." Adderstrike struggled to talk and had to dance around not saying any medcats names.
Drizzlepaw would feel the bigger cat touch him with their paw as he was staring at a bug on the ground as it crawled towards him. Drizzlepaw was preparing to bat at the beetle before he was distracted his tail twitching a bit as he looked over towards the cat that was Adderstrike but simultaneously didn't know that was the name of the cat instead he only saw the bigger cat want him to follow them. Drizzlepaw would trust the cat in question since they gave them no reason not to and followed to a den he could smell some odd smells in the den that made him wiggle his nose as it agitated it before he sneezed. Drizzlepaw had no idea how any cat handled these harsh smells he hoped he wouldn't have to stay in here. @Fish @squidz

| BERRYSHINE |
small & nimble dark brown she-cat with darker flecks and light, leafy-green eyes | the collector | dreamwalker |
Berryshine's ears perked up as she heard Adderstrike's cautious voice, turning at once to see the young mentor in with her apprentice. Dipping her head in greeting, she padded over towards the duo, a concerned frown gracing her maw.
"Deaf...?" She echoed worriedly, coming to take a seat in front of Drizzlepaw. She was quiet for several moments, observing how the apprentice was looking around, not quite responding to their voices and only their gestures he saw or felt. Hm... she'd never directly dealt with a deaf cat before. How could one hope to properly communicate with somecat who couldn't hear you? She was sure there were ways, but she was at a loss for them. Well... she had to try something, first, just to make sure.
"Drizzlepaw... i-if you can hear my voice, look at me."
Berryshine waited to see if he'd responded, then flicked her tail a bit in front of Drizzle's muzzle, as if trying to catch his attention and repeated her order gently. Leafy-green eyes cautiously scanned for any move or flicker in his eyes that may indicate that he could see or hear anything she was saying, a tightness beginning to form in her chest.

Berryshine is RiverClan's medicine cat!

Drizzlepaw- He/Him, 4 moons old, Riverclan Apprentice, No purrks.
Drizzlepaw wouldn't register Berrypaw's words in the slightest it wasn't until the cat started to wave her tail in front of him that he would start looking at her tail his eyes beginning to fixate on it thinking she was trying to play with him he would paw at it he wouldn't use his claws though and he would also paw rather softly as he used to hate his siblings batting his tail roughly it was uncomfortable. Drizzlepaw was usually a very gentle cat but he was still young and still a kit essentially in age. Drizzlepaw would roll onto his back continuing to paw at her tail as long as Berrypaw allowed. It was to note though that through his entire life Drizzlepaw had never said a real word at all. @squidz @Fish
