Cattail Pond

[taillow]

Redhawk
She/they | 28 moons | Ultimate Predator • The Collector

Watchful green eyes stayed on Asterpaw as the young tom moved to locate herbs of his own. Redhawk can tell he's tracking a scent, and when he turned around two lavender stocks hanging from his mouth her tail shoots up with a purr. "Good f-find, Asterpaw!" she praised the young tom with an approving nod. Shortly after, Drizzlenight returned with two of the lavender plants as well. This was certainly a good start!

"Let's see if t-there's anything e-else we can sss-spot." Not that what they had wasn't good enough - it definitely was! But Red was certain there were more herbs to be plucked - they were just hiding from plain sight. Plus, going into the thick of leaf-bare and the following newleaf, having a stocked herb storage would be good.

Setting her two marigold flowers down where she could recollect them later, the reddish-brown warrior decided to try her luck around the edges of the frost-covered pond again. The ground was muddier and slippery but she kept her gaze half on the plants around her and half on the ground so she didn't slip. Nosing through the cattails that surrounded the body of water, Redhawk eventually caught a calming and peaceful scent, one that reminded her of curling up in her warm nest.

"Lavender," she breathed with a smile as she stepped closer to the source. It was quiet lovely, and filled her mind as well with memories of her sister. Soft brown fur that Red would often use as a pillow, snuggling up to her in the apprentice's den, and then later in the warrior's den. Her smile grew wider as she stepped closer, and then--

Suddenly watching the world go sideways, Redhawk opened her jaws to shout before the icy water met her side. A yelp came from her as she thrashed about, her paws striking something solid as water rushed over her. She was only under briefly before her head broke the surface with a gasp. "C-C-Cold!" came the stuttered reply as she scrambled back towards the edge of the pond. Claws sank into the mud and she hauled herself out, water dripping from her pelt. The ThunderClan warrior gave herself a sharp shake, limbs shivering from the cold. Just behind her, with the cattail's now trampled, was another patch of lavender and marigold.

Willowpaw looked over at Rainpaw, again, but this time said nothing. MothDust went on to explain how to unsheathe your claws, crouch properly, and how to lunge. Willowpaw took in every detail, while still paying attention to Rainpaw. She was a bit upset that Rainpaw didn't trust her enough to tell her what was going on, but it wasn't her place to listen if Rainpaw didn't want to talk.

Rainpaw turned tail and walked over to a nearby stream, crouched down and stared at the stream. Tears silently streamed down her face as she stared at her reflection in the water. “H-it’s all my fault.. my brother is hurt.. he might die! I should’ve watched over him, I- I- I- I could’ve done something, I don’t know what but there must’ve been some way to help!” Rainpaw thought out loud- both Mothdust and Willowpaw heard it

Mothdust looked over, told willowpaw to stay, and walked over to Rainpaw. He put his tail around her to comfort her and sat there for a moment. "would you like to just take a break? Visit your brother?" he asked softly, "or take your mind off of it?.." he asked softly.

“I-yeah, sure…” Rainpaw whispered. “Sorry for ruining your hideout suprise thing..” Rainpaw said

"You didn't ruin it," he says, getting up, "it's ok." he says. He goes and gets Willowpaw as they head back to camp.

"Are you ok?" she asks quietly as they walk back, she seems worried. "it's not your fault, you know," she muttered to Rainpaw. "I'm sure it wasn't," she mutters again, her tail drooping a little.

Larkswoop whisked her tail as she padded down into Cattail Pond. She turned back to look at her apprentice, her green eyes narrowed slightly.

''Alright, Silverpaw,'' She began. ''Cattail Pond is known for water voles and frogs. See if you can catch at least one of each.''
