1x1 with wolfpack12 and *~Blizzard~*

Spiderstar was curled up in his nest, his head rested on his paws. He had only recently woken up, which would explain why he had not yet left his den."Might as well get up."he muttered to himself before getting to his paws and leaving the den. He then sat down, watching as cats emerged from the dens, ready for the day.

Pigeonpaw was near the herb storage, gathering some marigold to treat Honeycloud's wounds. The young warrior had encountered a dog only yesterday and he knew it was best to keep her wounds dressed to avoid infection."We'll need to gather some more marigold soon."the tom spoke up, looking over at his mentor Acornfeather."We seem to be running low, luckily it's a common herb."

Leafstep was in the clearing, his gaze not focused on anything in particular. Instead he was waiting patiently for the rest of the clan to wake up, so that patrols could be sent out. It was early, so there was still plenty of time, but he was longing to be out in the forest.

Aspenfur was curled up in his nest, his tail covering his nose. Suddenly the tom woke up, giving a small sneeze before glancing around the den."Morning already?"he asked himself, but it was obvious that the tom was already wide awake. Within moments he was out of his nest and in the clearing, soon taking a place near the warriors den.

Honeycloud was curled up in her nest, her eyes closed although she made no move to get up. Her wounds were bothering her, especially the deep bite on her shoulder, which had been the result of her fight with the dog. It hadn't been a huge brute and she had thought she could handle the annoying creature, but it had been tougher then she had expected. True, she had chased it off, but now she felt miserable and warrior duties were out of the question for her if she wanted her wounds to heal properly.

Twistedface was in the clearing, grooming her black and orange pelt. Already she was wanting to head out, but a patrol didn't seem as much fun as a walk did. Honestly she preferred to stray out of clan borders, but she knew that there was work to be done. Pushing the thought aside she focused on the clan, taking note of who had woken up already.

Hickorypaw was in his nest, not wanting to yet leave the comfort of the apprentice den or socialize with others. He knew there was much to be done, but still he was reluctant to do anything but lay here, so he soon decided he would remain in place for a little while longer.

Rainsong was in her nest, trying to get comfortable, but somehow she didn't think that was possible. There was plenty of space and the silence among the den was peaceful, but she wanted to be out in the forest. However, she knew that wasn't possible as her belly was already swollen with unborn kits, meaning she a long time to wait before she was a warrior again.

Halfshadow twitched an ear, to the sound of pawsteps behind him. Turning his head ever so slightly, so that his leader could come into view. Unlike the rest of his clan, he was an early riser. Something that had become a habit of his, during his time as a rogue. He gave the slightly younger tom a nod in greeting. Before returning his gaze back towards his clanmates." I was wondering on when you'd finally wake up", he murmured.

Acornfeather glanced in the direction of her apprentice, the moment he spoke up. She had currently been gently placing cobwebs into small piles, so that they may be stored away for further use. When she had heard Pigeonpaws voice. She then pulled herself to her feet, before walking over to join her apprentice. It wasn't much of a surprise to hear the news. Considering that it was to be expected, with the dangers their clanmates faced on a daily basis. But she did wish that her clan would be more careful with what they encounter. Herbs didn't grow on trees after all." Indeed", she replied. Giving a firm nod of approval towards her apprentice. Before casting a glance in the direction of their current patient. While she knew that the wounds wouldn't be hurting as bad as they were yesterday, they would still leave a slight amount of pain or irritation." And what is used to help numb the pain?", she asked.

Eaglewhisker released a small yawn, as he stretched his front legs out from underneath him. Slowly waking up to the world around him, as his pupils narrowed a tiny bit. He then stood up and shook his fur, getting rid of any bits of dust or moss that still clung to it. Before heading outside, and into the morning sun ready for the day.

Rivertail was currently flattening a bit of fur on her shoulder, when she heard the rest of her clanmates begin to stir. Before glancing in the direction of the apprentices den. Wondering on whether or not she should wake her apprentice up, considering that the camp was starting to come to life.

Frozenclaw was resting in the sun alongside Spottedshade. The two patiently waiting for the patrols to start, so that they would be able to get on with their day. While it wasn't much, since it was nothing compared to being able to casually walk around the forest. It was still enough for him, to be able to stretch his legs out.

Aspenpaw released a tired yawn, as he lazily lifted his head up from his mossy bead. Before letting out an annoyed groan, and plopping it back down. After realising that it was morning, which meant having to leave the warm comfort of the den. He then placed one paw over his head, to try and block out the sounds of the others moving about.

Midnightpaw silently stood up from her nest, before shaking her fur out. She then quietly tiptoed around the other two tired apprentices, as she made her way to the dens exit. Blinking a little, the moment she felt the brightness of the day hit her. Before casting a glance around the camp for her mentor.

[Esther~]

I wanted to apologize for my long absence. Life got hectic for me and I could barely be online, if I could be on at all. Luckily everything has settled and I can now return to a normal RP schedule. I am super sorry about not informing you sooner))

Spiderstar turned his attention to Halfshadow, giving a small purr of amusement."I suppose i'm still not used to being up as early as you. I'm not sure how you manage to do it, but it seems to work well for you."the leader then glanced around the clan once again, the peaceful setting greatly pleasing him. His clan was safe, and to him that meant a lot.

Pigeonpaw watched his mentor with great fascination, wondering what it could be she was thinking about. However, he knew better then to pester her, after all, he had no need to be nosy."To numb the pain?"he asked, although it was as if he was repeating the question to himself, which was reflected in his narrowed gaze and deep look of concentration."Well burdock root can help numb pain, although thats used to treat rat bites. However, I don't think it would cause any harm and could help prevent infection."he looked at his paws, unsure if he was correct. Already he had learned many herbs, but occasionally he would slip up as any normal cat would do. As much as this bothered him, he knew it could prove to be a real problem when a patient needed his help, but recently he had been doing much better then he used too and he hoped that he could someday make a great medicine cat.

Twistedface quickly took note of her apprentice, who seemed to be looking for her."I'm right here Midnightpaw!"she called to the she-cat before making her way over to her."I guess your ready for training already. If you want, you could eat first to help build up your strength."

[wolfpack12]

It's completely fine, so don't worry.)

Halfshadow chuckled a tiny bit, at his leaders response. Even he didn't quite know on how he kept waking up before the others. He guessed it was just something his body had been used to." Heh, routine I guess, anyway, I was wondering on which cats you would like to go out on a hunting patrol this morning", he replied.

Acornfeather watched him both carefully and patiently, as she waited for a response. Noticing the look of intense concentration, within her apprentice's mind. Something that she had done, during her first few days as an medicine cat apprentice. However, she then smiled, when her apprentice finally responded." That is correct, Pigeonpaw, now tell me, which herbs do you think will be best suited for our patient over there?", she asked. Knowing very well the uncertainty the young cat must be feeling. Even she had been nervous when trying to guess the right answer. So it wasn't much of a surprise to see it in him too.

Midnightpaw held back a small yawn, as she twitched an ear. Hearing her mentor call out to her, before glancing in the older cats direction. Sleep still clung to her like a stubborn cobweb. But that was only because she shared a den with two restless apprentices, who didn't know that they had bumped into her once or twice during the night." Ok", she replied.

[Esther~]

Spiderstar looked over each cat once more, trying to determine who would be best to send on hunting patrol."I think four cats should be enough."Leafstep, Rivertail, Aspenpaw, and Hickorypaw should do. That way their mentors can take the opportunity to see how their apprentices are coming along. I expect they'll do fine, but its always best to keep track of their progress."

Pigeonpaw gave a small purr, both relieved and pleased to hear he had answered correctly. However, when asked the next question, he once again went back into his state of concentration, wanting to be sure he was correct. If he messed up he knew he would have other chances, and making a mistake would mean he could learn from it, but he felt he had improved and he was hoping that this would prove his thoughts correct."The dog bite she has could easily become infected if not treated well. In order to avoid the chances of infection its best to keep the wound clean. Marigold is easily a good herb to use in this case, although it would be good to have cobwebs to use as well to hold the poultice on."

Twistedface noticed the sleepy look on her apprentice's face, which indicated that she had either not gotten enough sleep, or had an rough night."Being out in the forest will wake you up, but we can go easy and start with some hunting practice. It'll be sure to help sharpen your senses and then you'll come back looking much better then you do now."she gently cuffed the she-cat around the ears in a playful manner."Not a good night, huh?"

[wolfpack12]

Halfshadow twitched an ear, as he patiently waited for his leader to respond. The mostly black tom, moving both ears forward as his attention was once more focused on his clanmates. Before casting a glance in the direction of Spiderstar, upon hearing his words. Tilting his head to the side in thought, as he flicked the end of his tail. After giving it some consideration, he then nodded at the tom. Letting him know, that he approved of his decision." Very well, I'll inform them, and then I'll take Eaglewhisker, Twistedface and Midnightpaw out to check the borders, if that is alright with you?", he replied.

Acornfeather watched her apprentice patiently, from where she was stood. Noticing the familiar look of concentration return to his face, as he tried to think of the right answer. Before smiling just a little, upon finally getting a response from the young tom." That is also correct, Pigeonpaw", she replied. Trying not to feel too prideful, over how far the young apprentice had come, from when he first started out. Before looking over her shoulder at the dens entrance, then back at Pigeonpaw as a thought came to her." How about we tend to our current patient, and then go check on Rainsong, to see on how she is doing?", she added.

Midnightpaw flattened her ears just a tiny bit, as she glanced up at her mentor. Before nodding a little, upon hearing her words. Nearly stumbling a little from the gentle hit, considering that she wasn't fully expecting it. As well as the fact that she was still half asleep, therefore was more easier to push around. She then forced back another yawn, before focusing an annoyed look on the older she-cat." That depends, do you have to share a den with two restless tom's?", she asked.
