Down in the Valley 1x1 with Ravenshadow17

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded. "Father?" She asked, her head tilted curiously. She had thought that Chickenpoppy was the medicine cat, but if someone else was gathering herbs, perhaps there were a few?

"Crimsonsparrow's Roseish's dad." Nimblestar muttered in reply to her.

"My mentor." Chickenpoppy added, casting Rosewish a sheepish grin as she continued to glare at them.

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded in response, sending Nimblestar and Chickenpoppy a thankful look for explaining. She then followed Chickenpoppy's line of sight to the she-cat glaring at her. Lightheart resisted the urge to shuffle her paws. Normally she wouldn't tolerate someone reacting like that to her, but she was the intruder here so she restrained herself and settled for ignoring the she-cat.

"I don't suppose there's anything I could say or do to make your clan feel more at ease with my presence?" She asked the two toms in a whisper.

[clouds-move-on]

"They'll get used to you." The two toms said in semi-unison in reply, while Chickenpoppy eagerly lead the she-cat to the medicine den. It was located across camp, through some trees, and in another clearing under a large tree, where a large cave was nestled under. There was a strange cackling noise and a bird's face poked itself from the medicine den- a chicken, in fact.

"Hello Henny." Chickenpoppy greeted casually.

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded and followed Chickenpoppy. She was lost in her thoughts until the chicken appeared. The she-cat's eyes widened and she blinked a few times to be sure that she was truly seeing a chicken. Confused beyond belief, she glanced between the chicken and Chickenpoppy.

"Henny..?" She asked quietly, still somewhat convinced that she was hallucinating.

[clouds-move-on]

"Don't ask." Nimblestar replied with a sigh, watching as the chicken scrabbled her way out of the medicine den and began a hunt for bugs in the snow.

"Just this way. Don't mind Henny, she's just hungry right now." Chickenpoppy chirped, heading down into the underground cave with a flick of his whiskers!

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded, still stunned over the presence of the chicken. She shook her head slightly when Chickenpoppy spoke and then followed him down, her eyes wide in amazement.

"An underground cave... Wow.. and in the middle of your camp..." She whispered, awe clear in her voice.

[clouds-move-on]

"More like the side- but that's a technicality." Chickenpoppy said in a cheerful tone. He lead them down- it did't go far too deep- and they were soon in a comfortably warm cavern. One she-cat lay sleeping there, and she started slightly at Lightheart's appearance as she looked up.

"Oh... hi!" She squeaked, still looking surprised, but not hostile. She gave the two tomes a long, questioning look, which they replied to with, in turn.
"Visitor."
"One of the outsider patients."

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded as in understanding, still looking around with some awe. She blinked as they entered the warm cavern, and smiled gently at the other she-cat once she got over her initial surprise.

"Hi." Lightheart greeted cheerfully, glad that one more cat in camp seemed to be fine with her presence. "I'm sorry we disturbed your nap. I'm Lightheart." She introduced herself.

Lightheart sent an inquisitive look at Chickenpoppy. "Just how many outsiders come to you for help?"

[clouds-move-on]

"Hi." Luckyfeather said, titling her head to the side. The she'cat then added. "I'm Luckyfeather- you from StreetClan? You have a traditional clan name!"

"From a foreign clan." Nimblestar pointed out, stretching his claws into the soft earth.

"Yes we do." Chickenpoppy said cheerfully. "Crimsonsparrow has taught us to help all others when they need us! Healing is a relatively new skill to this area, outside the humans."

"I got helped similarly." Luckyfeather chirped.
