She turned to the medicine cat, doing her best not to jump at the sudden voice. Ah…was she there the whole time? Her muscles soon relaxed as she offered a small, shy smile to the medicine cat. She was…reassuring to be around. “I’m…b-better now…th-ank you…” she dipped her head gratefully, pushing her body up to a sitting position before turning to face the grey medic. Sleepyhead…how long had she been asleep? StarClan knew, but she prayed she wasn’t too much a hassle. CobwebFern voice was soothing though, as was the other medicine cats. It was nice. She wasn’t sure how well CobwebFern heard her response to BerryShine…so she would speak yet again. “Good…th-thank you…M-Miss CobwebFern.” CrowPaw gulped before looking down at her paws.
Berryshine let out a comforting purr to see Crowpaw awake; sheepish, but seeming to be grateful for both medics' presence and support. Berry was thankful as well that the younger 'paw seemed to be in better spirits. She didn't move until Crowpaw shifted into a sitting position, then stepped back so she could give the cat a once-over.
"I'm glad you're feeling better. Hm... you should have something to eat. I'll go fetch you some fresh-kill, t-then you're welcome to stay as long as you need, alright?" Giving Crowpaw a brief flick of her tail on her shoulder, she nodded to Cobwebfern to watch her before dipping out of the den. A few moments later, she returned with a mouse for the apprentice, dropping it at her paws and pushing it towards her. The medicine cat gave Crowpaw another soft smile of encouragement before getting to work cleaning up the debris of plant scraps around the den, her mind wandering to what Stormstar would do with that Lavenderleopard... hopefully, justice would be served.

"Hello, sorry, I..." He took a deep breath, his voice was still off because of his crying just moments ago, "I think something is wrong, wanted to check in." Physically, obviously something was bad mentally for sure but he wasn't putting that on the medicine cats. The tom continued to stand, swaying slightly in place.
Everything felt rather... hazy, following Stormstar's death. Berryshine's mind tended to wander, leaving her staring off at den walls and lost in thought. Watching Cob's grief was even harder.
The unsteady voice of Seabreeze caught her attention, dragging her out of her stupor. Turning, Berryshine was immediately concerned to see the state of the ex-Lionheart; he was swaying, as if his paws could hardly keep him up. Of course... he'd looked greatly shaken up, and the medicine cat had made a mental note to check up on him. At once she rose to her paws, pushing through the grief-laden fog in her mind, lightly pressing her small flank against his gray-blue and sandy-patched fur to help steady him.
"Y-You don't look so good... come sit down," the medicine cat instructed gently, helping walk the warrior over to a clean, open nest. As Seabreeze would sit down, Berryshine looked him over, frowning. She had noticed him walking strangely, and he wasn't shivering, despite the air being frigid outside; she'd known he'd been out a long time, too, altogether with bringing Stormstar's body home. "Can y-you tell me what feels wrong...?"
The small brown molly's eyes had been drawn to the warrior's paws first; the paw pad looked slightly discolored and felt cold to the touch as she pressed her nose to it. Glancing at Cob, Berryshine frowned, asking a silent question with her eyes. She hadn't had experience with this yet, but it seemed that the cold had done something unfavorable to Seabreeze.

( i loved you like the sun ) "
The moment Cobwebfern backed up, Berryshine had instinctively stepped closer, her concern for her friend's wellbeing and being able to stand up straight outweighing any other shock. Her eyes softened in sympathy as Cob's tale went on, describing how her father had been stalking her, then attacking her... the despair in those light blue eyes was nearly unbearable. Berry could feel her heart cracking at the sight, wanting nothing more than to be able to take that away.
"O-Oh, Cob..." she mewed softly, voice full of sympathy and care. Of course Berryshine believed her; she trusted Cobwebfern with her life, and especially with something like this, knew her best friend wouldn't lie to her. But as the gray-and-white continued, Berryshine's worry slowly turned into... anger. Well, something similar to anger, as it wasn't typical of the brown-furred she-cat to get anything more than mildly frustrated. Even when upset, she tended to shut down instead of flare up.
But to hear what Cobwebfern's father had done... in a rare moment of righteous anger, Berryshine's green eyes flashed and narrowed, a sound of disgust lodged in her throat. What kind of vile cat would have a heart so dark that he'd do such a thing? Especially to someone like Cobwebfern? Of course Berry didn't know her back then, but the mere thought of anyone doing that to her best friend...
Before she could do anything, Cobwebfern's head dropped on her flank and whispered that shaky question. Almost at once, Berryshine's anger deflated and she nodded quickly, immediately seating herself beside Cob, heart wrenching in her chest.
"O-Of course... h-here, let me help you," she urged gently, beginning to help groom the bengal's flank without any hesitation. Her brow was slightly furrowed in concentration though her green eyes were soft, a myriad of emotions in them. Worry, care, righteous anger... and something else. And for what she lacked in finding proper words, the herbalist made up in her gentle actions — helping erase any trace of the rogue father's presence on her friend's pelt, the metallic tang of blood lingering on her tongue. The sooner he was gone, the better.

Seabreeze sat down as instructed, lifting one of his paws so that the medicine cat could see it properly. He frowned at it, attempting to flex the muscles, unsheath and sheath his claws or something, but other than twitches he didn’t get very far. “I uhh, I’m not sure. I sort of can’t feel this paw, the other ones are also numb, but they’re more stinging numb this one is a lot of nothing and… I don’t think that’s good.” He finished lamely. That and his ears, but they weren’t really on his mind, everything else was cold but now that he was in an enclosed den it was a little better.
[ @squidz ]
[ So I changed my mind a bit if that's alright? I was thinking chronic pain/loss of feeling in his front paws, and then the tips of his ears being frozen dead ( amputated if Berry would do that ) ]
This was a pain. This was such..! A pain! Huffing and puffing (maybe she was being dramatic, maybe she wasn't), Almondchatter waddles into the RiverClan Medicine Den. "Berryshine! Cobwebstorm!" The Queen whines, flopping pitifully into a spare nest, though she's careful about how her belly rests against the ground. She would never hurt her babies. Look, she was tired of carrying this heavy bundle around. And the vomiting..!
Eugh.
Almondchatter could've sworn she was twice the size of what she'd been last time she'd had kits. "Are the other Queens absolutely certain that I can eat nothing to make all of this stop hurting?" The heavily pregnant Queen grouches, lifting her paws to help herself half prop up so she can groom the fur on the underside of her belly. It was a whole chore. She was going to have to start making Songwave do it.
Tigerfire comes in limping blood coming from her face and paw. She winced as she tired to put some weight on her sprained paw she lied down and started to lick her injured paw. Looking around she saw they where a bit busy than normal (open)

*CW: descriptions of minor amputation*
[ pp perms given by @/finley for Cobwebstorm to teach Berryshine amputation ]
Berryshine's paws trembled as she watched Cobwebstorm speak about and demonstrate amputation. She hadn't been sure that was the right move, never having done something like that before — but when her friend had explained how the skin was frozen and dead, it made sense. The tips of Seabreeze's ears would have to go...
Firstly, the small brown molly pawed over a poppy seed to the warrior with a nod. "P-Please, eat this first... to help ease the pain."
Frowning, she stepped back to observe. Berryshine suppressed a sympathetic wince as the combination of a clean slice of claws and a nip tore off the tip of the ear. She was sure that the particular piece of flesh was numb, but the surrounding parts weren't. Shuddering, the medicine cat braced herself and went to perform the same act on his other ear.
It was a strange feeling; given her lack of battle experience, Berry had never intentionally 'hurt' a cat before. The closest she'd gotten was giving a warning swipe at that WindClan warrior who'd attacked her during the 3v1 raid, and she didn't even remember if her claws had actually scored through his fur or not. And while she was used to some of her healing methods having to hurt (such as fixing a broken limb), this felt almost... barbaric, making her stomach churn. But she also knew this was crucial; amputations could save lives, such as from infections, and she needed to know how to do it (and to stomach it).
Shaking out her shoulders, Berryshine did it as cleanly and swiftly as she could so as not to draw out any possible pain for Seabreeze. The tips of his ears were now both removed from a combination of a clean slice of claws and a nip of the teeth. That, of course, was much easier than something like a limb would've been — but it still twisted her gut to have to remove a part of him like that. As gently as possible, she applied a dab of chewed up marigold to the raw flesh and some cobwebs where she could, attempting to block the small open wounds from any infection.
"T-There we go... how are you feeling?" Berryshine asked, giving Seabreeze a once-over. She prodded his paw pads with a gentle flick, noting that they looked slightly discolored. "Your paws, too... t-they look strange. You said it feels stinging a-and numb..?" The medicine cat cast a worried glance at Cobwebstorm before continuing to inspect his paws. "I've never seen anything like this bad, b-but from what I know of frostbite... there may be a chance w-we can't get full feeling back to your paws. But we'll try."
Internally cursing leaf-bare, Berryshine gently rubbed the warrior's paws for a moment, trying to create heat by the friction. "K-Keep them warm and moving, as much as you can. You should stay here awhile, keep off your p-paws, let us see if anything c-changes as you get warm..."

Almondchatter could've sworn she was twice the size of what she'd been last time she'd had kits. "Are the other Queens absolutely certain that I can eat nothing to make all of this stop hurting?" The heavily pregnant Queen grouches, lifting her paws to help herself half prop up so she can groom the fur on the underside of her belly. It was a whole chore. She was going to have to start making Songwave do it.
At first, Berryshine was concerned when Almondchatter marched in — her voice was strained like a whine, and a jolt of anxiety made the medicine cat wonder if the kits were coming or if something was wrong. But to her relief (and slight amusement), she saw that the queen was only complaining — listening to her woes and padding over, Berryshine was careful to use very gentle paws as she pressed on Almondchatter's stomach, feeling for anything unusual and inspecting the surrounding area.
"Ah... unfortunately, they're r-right about that. I can't treat it l-like a bellyache when it isn't food hurting you, b-but a bunch of wriggly kits. A-And we generally don't give poppy seeds to queens." There was a note of amusement in Berryshine's voice, whiskers twitching in sympathy. "I can give you a little something, though. H-Hold on..."
The medicine cat briefly went to her herb stores, pawing out a preserved stalk of burnet. She pawed the plant over to the queen with an encouraging smile. "This'll help g-give you strength. You'll be tasting it on your tongue for awhile, t-though, so better wash it down with some prey." Another minor attempt at a joke, which the small brown molly wasn't the best at, but she'd seen her share of queens by now to know the pains were normal and expected.

Alarm spread through Berryshine when she caught the scent of blood. That was never good. Squeezing out from the cleft where she and Cobwebstorm slept, the medicine cat's eyes widened to see Tigerfire with some blood over her pelt.
"O-Oh, my... what happened?" The small brown molly gasped, hurrying over with a worried frown. Gently she helped guide the warrior to the nearest open nest, looking her over. Oh, that paw didn't look good... she frowned, waiting for Tigerfire to explain and starting to think of remedies in her mind.

@squdiz tirgerfire leaned on the medican cat. Well my paw got stuck in a claw trap i thank it was a bear trap or a cat trap. And then a damn rouge attacked me from behind. I thank i closed my eyes fast enough but he may have gotten my eye.

[ perms for changing Tigerfire's condition have been approved by @/SpiritRun ! ]
Berryshine frowned as she peered at Tigerfire's paw. Some of the fur had been torn out, the flesh red and angry underneath. Almost like a burn, but not quite by fire. The medicine cat was unfamiliar with what could've caused this exactly, but the concept of a 'cat trap' or something of the like didn't sit well with her.
"Mm... t-this looks painful. A sort of trap, huh?" She shuddered, pausing to go to her herb stores and return with a dock leaf full of various leaves and flowers. "A rogue on the territory, too? A-And your eye doesn't look good, either... swollen... I'll have to see i-if the rogue scratched you." Berry made a mental note to report all of this to Owlstar; Tigerfire had been unlucky, it seemed, yet also lucky enough to come out of all of that alive.
"H-Here... chew this." Berryshine was sure the wounds were stinging like fire, and figured that Tigerfire could use an edge of relief. She didn't have many poppy seeds, so instead she gave the warrior some dandelion leaves. "T-They taste awfully bitter, but t-they'll help stave off the pain."
Then the small brown molly was chewing up some marigold and goldenrod together; she didn't have much of each, so spreading out the infection-saving herb and the wound-cleaning herb seemed smart. Gently, the medic spread the poultice onto the raw wounds on Tigerfire's paw and the scratch above her eye. She was relieved to see that it had just barely missed its mark.
"L-Looks like the rogue just missed ya... t-the swelling is likely going to i-impact your vision for a bit, but it should heal in time!" Berryshine tried to give a comforting smile and nod, hoping to ease the warrior's nerves if she had any. Then she was plastering some cobwebs onto the cat's fur, stopping any of the pesky bleeding. She frowned as she stepped back, inspecting her work to make sure Tigerfire was all set.
"Y-You should be all good for now... i-if anything else hurts or reopens, y-you come to me right away, okay? Meanwhile, I-I'll go report what happened to Owlstar... you just rest now. Y-You're welcome to stay in here as long as you need."
Splashcloud padded into the den with Flutterkit in her jaws. B-Berryshine? Are you in here? She called, her voice shaking with worry. @squidz
[ sorry for the delay! thank you for your patience ]
Berryshine's ears perked up at the sound of Splashcloud; oh, yes, the queen who'd recently kitted. Ducking out of the sectioned-off place where she slept, the medicine cat came into view, gazing worriedly at the queen.
"Y-Yes, I'm here... is something wrong? Is Flutterkit alright?" She mewed concernedly, padding over to inspect the kit and her mother.
