the cooling air swishing through his fur, rookfire sat, icy eyes fixed on a unspecified location between camp entrance and the tightly woven bramble protecting them from predators and sight when a familiar voice sounded next to him.
"'course" the medic nodded, grey eyes moving away from where he'd been staring holes into the camp walls to eye bleedingpaw. silence lingered between them, unbroken until the golden apprentice continued. his feelings on lostspark had always been positive even after she threatened him with death upon his joining, she'd treated him with a cold fairness he only recently grew to appreciate. perhaps age cleared up certain things. maybe he just got smarter.
his angular head cocked slightly in question, he watched bleedingpaw inhale deeply. something of her that couldnt be taken from him? rook couldnt help but feel a bit uneasy at the possibility of being asked for information he simply did not have. sure he'd been her apprentice, but there wasnt much interpersonal talk between the two. surely less than between her and bleedingpaw anyway.
but as it turned out, knowledge unique to lostsparks and his shared rank was bleedingpaws wish. a wish rookfire would happily fulfil.
"sure." he answered simply before taking a moment to think it over. the scent aspect stood out, most of the more useful herbs rarely carried a heavy scent that'd cling to pelts but what do they say? the dose makes the poison?

"okay, listen well then-" he winked at bleedingpaw "-we'll do some basic first aid for now. herbs you'll find easily that are commonly used. ah. lets start with poppy, chervil and borage. poppys are bright red flowers, 'm sure you've seen em on patrol before, with a black center. we need the seeds. theyre used ta' ease pain n put injured cats to sleep. overall, three for large cats, 2 for the average warrior n never more than one for kits or apprentices." he listed off briskly, "any questions yet?"

Relief. An expression of abject relief spread across his face and some sort of grieving pain lifted from the mere knowledge that Rookfire understood and was willing to help. Smiling weakly the tom bobbed his head, a sort of wobbly nod bow meowing a "Thank you so much Rookfire. I really appreciate it." before he honed in to pay attention to the lesson.



Faintly all the herbs were familiar and hearing them now he was pretty sure several had been used on some of his bumps and scrapes. "None on poppies, Ive had a couple before but Mama said Im weird because it doesnt dull any pain because I never seem to feel the pain to begin with so it just makes me sleepy." The tom shrugged, his weird relationship with pain was a mystery he'd never figured out nor was he going to any time soon. "Actually..." his head cocked, thinking on something. "Nothing blooms in the winter and poppyseeds sound important, do they keep and are stored through winter or do you have to go without or use an alternative instead?"

Muddypaw lazed around in the few rays of sun, happily sucking in the warmth

Talonpaw stared at her with Envy, she wanted that spot, it looked so nice and warm. Muddypaw had that fluffy fur, anyways, why did she need it?

── .✦ ➜ Houndpaw felt a little confused. It was like he was missing something 'cause once he gained his victory, Bleedingpaw started laughing! And smiling! Still, the fellow apprentice is swift to regain his balance. He lets a gasp out at the other's worrisome words, eyebrows furrowing close together. "B..but.. we... ff-family.." He speaks quietly, very well looking like he might begin to cry. His neck jerked painfully to the side, "Blleeding... why ... evil? P - please - no eat-ting ... I t-thought-t.. you liked.. S-shadowClan,," He whimpers, ears flopping sadly against his head.

Another neck jerk occurred, his nose scrunching up. And no one was even HELPIN' his sister! Lazy warriors!! Lettin' an EVIL cat do their bidding around here. HUFF. Houndpaw had to do ALLLL the work. Well, most of it. Thankfully, Emberpaw and Weepingpaw were great support it turns out! They were able to get Scorpionpaw away from Bleedingpaw. If only they could turn him back to good. "I-if I give, r-rock.. will be good? P-please?" He offered as a suitable bribe. Well, until Bleedingpaw begun slobbering onto his brother.

The chocolate brown tom squealed, "NnnOOO!!! B-BLEEDING!!! B-BADD!!" Houndpaw howled, and then Emberpaw was giving the order to attack and it was GO-TIME. He WOULD NOT LET HIS BROTHER BE ATE!!!

Unfortunately for Bleedingpaw, Houndpaw clearly believed this was real and decided to duck down and try to gnaw at his ankles with his tiny but mighty kitten teef.

Littlenose
[16 moons] , [he/him]

Littlenose sits in ShadowClan’s clearing, his amber eyes flicking around as he takes in everything around him. He likes to stay aware, always thinking about what needs to be done. Maybe he could check on the elders or help tidy up the warriors’ den. But before he can decide, a quiet growl from his stomach interrupts his thoughts. Oh. Food first. That makes the most sense.

He stands up with careful precision, his steps neat and deliberate as he pads to the fresh-kill pile. Stopping in front of it, he tilts his head slightly, considering his options. Decisions, decisions.
