Cedarshine stood by helplessly, both the deputy, medicine cat, AND leader were out of camp, and Tinyseal was the only cat who had a sliver of an idea of how to deal with a kitting queen. "Tinyseal.." Cedarshine hesitated, reluctant to put so much pressure on the tom, "Do you know what herbs to use to ease kitting pain? If so, I could go with you and help fetch some from Spottedlily's den." She sank her claws into the sand, her eyes round with worry as she watched the Heatlfight.

Sagepaw fought back a purr as Reedstrike complimented his catch. He watched him pad away to check the border again, silently wishing he had the courage to ask to accompany him. No, he needs his space. I can't come off as clingy.. the cream tom plucked a nice vole off the pile before he settled down with the bird, eating his first meal of the day. He grew bored and started swatting a small, clean bone back and forth, his tail flicking wildly.

Bearfluff turned to Lightningwolf and dipped his head, "Yes, you go ahead back to camp- I won't be long- and go ahead and find Stagpaw for me and see if he got that thorn of his out." He gave the warrior a grateful look before turning back to the medicine cat, ear flicking as he awaited her response.

The maine coon watched her curiously as she laughed back at his attempt of a joke. He attempted to hold back a laugh, but let it slip, "Yes, Beeflight is quite strange, I think moons of sniffing herbs has gone to his head." His heart warmed seeing her so happy and doing well, and he settled down as well, his muscles relaxing after the tense encounter at the border. "I don't think Rabbitstar would mind if you started your own patch on the border near your camp. The soil is good there, I guess, according to Beeflight." he paused, sinking his claws into the earth, "I could help dig up some of this catmint; leafbare is on it's way, and it'll bring whitecough into the clans." they had a nice supply of catmint growing, as well as a stock in the medicine den, so he didn't think it would harm their supply much if he let the Shoreclan medicine cat take some.

Spottedlily beamed, tail tip twitching. "I'mafraid I might be heading down the same path if that's the case," she teased. Glancing up at the sky, she grimaced as she noticed it was already well past Sunhigh and as the clans only medicine cat, she really ought to be returning. Rising reluctantly to her paws, she smiled at Bearfluff, finding herself surprisingly reluctant to leave him. "I will definitely take you up on your offer, but for now I should get back to ShoreClan. Bluevine is close to kitting and I shouldn't have stayed away this long as is," she said with a sigh. "Perhaps we will see each other again, soon," she said with a warm smile.

As the warrior turned, ready to lead him to the border Redfur let out a breath of relief he hadn’t even realized he’d been holding. Even when she’d stopped attacking he hadn’t really known what exactly she planned to do with him, whether that be kill him or maybe force him to join her group or something, neither of which were options he particularly liked. Now as he picked his way through the forest undergrowth he was able to relax a bit without so much impending doom looming over him. Granted it was still there, the leg was going to be a problem but at least he wasn’t dead or being held captive. Despite the injury, Redfur was able to keep up with Fernsnap fairly easily, using the limb sparingly but not completely staying off of it either. Now that it had a chance to settle and some of the swelling was kicking in he was able to get a better sense of the damage. It seemed to be all in the muscle, bending and straightening his forearms was stiff and painful. Still, he as he got used to the pain he realized the limb still bore his weight fairly well, a hopeful sign her fangs hadn’t fractured bone. Assuming he could somehow survive that long if he could keep it from becoming infected it would probably regain most of its motion within a moon or so. Finding food would be another matter entirely, he'd never been good at hunting and outside the forest he hadn't seen any signs of prey.“Hmmm?” He blinked, the sound of the other cat’s voice drawing him out of his thoughts. “Oh, Fernsnap? I’ll be sure to remember it.” He meowed, surprised that she’d bothered telling him her name. He looked at her quizzically, this cat had jumped him, beat him up, and lamed his front leg but she wasn’t entirely unpleasant either, or at least now that she’d made sure he couldn’t be a threat she was treating him fairly enough, none of the usual taughtning or gloating cat’s usually did after beating him up. “Your a clan cat right?” He asked, though he was pretty sure he already knew the answer. The loners he’d talked to had seemed to think there was something special about the clans but like most of their advice Redfur had just written it off. Groups of cats were groups of cats, as far as he was concerned there was little difference between one of these clans and the colony he was running away from.

bluevine looked at each cat feeling a bit overwhelmed. "I.. don't know.." she breathed. "I think my kits might be coming." the queen suddenly felt a pain much worse than when she initially had tried to catch the gulls. her belly twisted and she cried out in agony.

Cedarshine stood by helplessly, both the deputy, medicine cat, AND leader were out of camp, and Tinyseal was the only cat who had a sliver of an idea of how to deal with a kitting queen. "Tinyseal.." Cedarshine hesitated, reluctant to put so much pressure on the tom, "Do you know what herbs to use to ease kitting pain? If so, I could go with you and help fetch some from Spottedlily's den." She sank her claws into the sand, her eyes round with worry as she watched the Heatlfight.

Cedarshine backed out of the den to give the two cats room. She looked around the clearing, anxiously awaiting for Spottedlily's return.

Bearfluff dipped his head, "Of course, I apologize for keeping you this long," he touched his dark nose to her ear and wished her luck, "May the kits be born strong and healthy, and Bluevine's recovery swift." with that, he stepped back and dipped his head respectfully to the bengal she-cat. "I will speak to Rabbitsar about the herbs." he mrowed, and waited until she had disappeared from sight before he turned to make the trek back to his own camp. His paws tingled as his mind wrapped around the words exchanged between them. It was a light, casual conversation, but something kept his mind on the Shoreclan medicine cat, something he'd not quite be able to put his nose on. But when He entered camp and was hit with a wall of grief and sadness, his cheery mood melted into a solemn determination as he approached the apprentices Stagpaw and Nettlepaw. Bearfluff took a glance at the freshly churned earth and held back a cry of despair. They hadn't had any new kits all greenleaf, and the whole clan was looking forward to the new life and energy kits would bring, especially Bearfluff. He adored kits and couldn't wait to see their little rambunctious bodies tumbling around camp. "I'm very sorry, Nettlepaw, you did your best." he consoled her quietly before he turned to Stagpaw, "We can train later, after the vigil." he turned to find Rabbitstar, leaving the two to deal with the thorn.

Spottedlily felt her ear tips burn as the tomcat pressed his nose to her ears. "Sounds good, I'llsee you around!" She mowed, snatching up her herbs and bounding off before she could do something silly or foolish. Her heart was already beating far too rapidly for her liking and she sternly reminded her that Bearfluff was a rival clans deputy, and she was a medicine cat. Regardless of whether she had wanted the role or not, she couldnt change the past and she had sworn an oath. Shaking the tomcat from her thoughts, she bounded all the way back to camp, slipping through the tunnel. The herbs promptly fell from her muzzle as she noticed the air of hysteria in camp and quickly zeroed in on Bluevine and her companions. This was why Medicine Caskts didnt have mates or kits. They were a distraction and she cursed her foolishness as she abandoned her herbs and rushed to the trio's side. "Bluevine, what's happening? Are the kits coming!?" She meowed urgently, before turning to Tinyseal. "You. Go fetch me some raspberry leaves and you, Heatflight, find a sturdy stick for Bluevine to bite down on," she ordered briskly before laying her tail over the queens shoulder and guiding her toward the Medicine Cat den. She chose to ignore the ache in her injured leg as she limped her way into the den and urged the Queen to settle into her nest.

Her body began to ache from the fight she had with Redfur. It grew harder and harder to walk along the path that led toward the border with her quickly tensing muscles. For a scrawny loner, he put up a good fight and Fernsnap would surely feel the soreness tomorrow. She glanced back at Redfur as he followed her and made light conversation. "I'm from shore clan," she told him flicking her tail proudly. "The white and orange toms you were watching earlier are from summit clan," she explained. Fernsnap figured Redfur didn't care all that much for clan life after his run in with her gnashing fangs so she didn't explain anymore. The shore clan scent markers were growing fainter and she could tell they were near the border when a small sound made her ears perk. Almost mechanically, her instincts took over and she fell to a hunting crouch. She breathed in deeply and could scent a mouse just ahead. Before Redfur could scare the creature away, Fernsnap bolted after it, her muscles moving quickly despite their stiffness. The adrenaline of the hunt would be enough to ease her soreness for a little while. She padded back to Redfur with a mouse in her jaws and pleased gleam in her green eyes. Dropping the mouse in front of him, she said, "Eat this. You need some meat on your bones."

Hearing footsteps nearby, he turned his head away from the warrior and saw Opalpaw approaching them. The leader purred, "Good work!" At her comment to her mentor, Ripplestar attempted to stifle a small laugh. The apprentice truly could be amusing. Only Starclan knew the antics she would get into as a warrior after her ceremony.

"Um... only a little bit," he admitted, murky memories appearing. Kits... her kits are coming, Tinyseal thought to himself. A small pang of jealously went through him, but she hadn't even given birth just yet. When the medicine cat approached, he murmured, "Yes, Spottedlily." before rushing past them into the medicine cat den. It took Tinyseal a while to sniff each leaf. Eventually, he found the raspberry leaves within the storage and pulled a few out.

She brushed off her emotions and covered the kits with dirt, sending a quick prayer to Starclan. "It's fine. Do you need me to look at your paw?" Nettlepaw asked. She finally glanced up at Stagpaw and inspected his paw from far away, not moving close to him just yet. She glanced over at Bearfluff when he approached and gave a weak shrug, not even bothering to smile. "It's fine," Nettlepaw muttered and turned back to Stagpaw.

( tom ) ( warrior of shore ) ( thirty-two m.) ( pan ) ( camp ) ( tinyseal, bluevine, cedarshine, spottedlily )
-- large tortoiseshell tom, yellow-amber eyes, long tail --

indentHeatflight was lost. What was he to do? The tom did not possess the skill for medical care and he's never been in the proximity of a kitting queen. He had winced when Tinyseal seemed reluctant and although Cedarshine seemed to be a bit more in control, she too was clueless on what to do. Thankfully, their prayers were answered as Spottedlily came back into camp, alarmed.
indentThe tom dipped his head immediately to the Medicine Cat at her spoken orders. "On it," he replied, flicking his tail anxiously as he exited the camp momentarily to try and find a stick to help Bluevine out. The sand was mostly clear of sharp objects but he managed to find a dry piece of driftwood near the start of the forest. After making sure it was plenty durable and clear of any bugs, he picked it up and marched back into camp. Heatflight poked his head into the Medicine Cat's den and dropped the piece of wood on the floor of the den. "A-Ah, is there anything else I can do?" he asked to Spottedlily.

indentWith no sign of Foxwhisper from a brief glance about camp, Birdpaw heaved a hefty sigh from their maw. Birdpaw has always been a bit impatient to get rolling with the day regardless if anyone else was. Although his mentor was never one they pushed their impatience toward. A fear-respect mix for the molly made Birdpaw's mindset and they were sure they would keep that until the day they die. With nothing much else to do, they settled down and started to groom their fur boredly, humming.

the she cat fell over into the nest in the medicine cat den, panting as if she ran for miles. she tensed as the next wave of pain came over her, the queen's claws sinking into the moss below her.
