That was until a somewhat annoyed Smokeberry emerged. "You two, leave! Chattering away like worried sparrows isn't helpful, go catch some instead!" Of course, Lynxeye argued. Smokeberry argued harder. In the end, Shallotspeckle and Lynxeye trudged away.

The deputy didn't care how long she had known Soaringstar, it wasn't her place to make those decisions. Velvetcoat hesitantly stepped forward. "I-I would be willing to mentor Flaxenpaw." He volunteered. Flaxenpaw looked up at him gratefully, but Soaringstar shook his head. "Thank you Velvetcoat, but I believe I know who could better mentor her." He said looking at the deputy. "Falconswoop will be Flaxenpaw's mentor until she completes her training. He has many things he can teach her about being an honorable warrior." Velvetcoat nodded respectfully and stepped back, while Flaxenpaw looked almost horrified by the decision. Soaringstar gave Poppythorn and Falconswoop each a meaningful look, gestured for Stormshadow and Velvetcoat to follow him and left camp. The deputy and medicine cat each looked ashamed of themselves and refused to look at each other. Poppythorn was first to retire, sulking to her den to sort and catalog herbs. Falconswoop was left with his new apprentice. He looked up and the girl and she turned away immediately. Soaringstar still believed in him, even after what had just happened. It was now up to him to prove that his faith was not misplaced.

The bulky warrior may've been one of the strongest in the clan but he certainally lacked a penchant for swimming. He lay on the pebbles, cold and lifeless. The funniest thing was that Swanfoot this time did care, something deemed startling by much of the clan. She was reputed to be an icy soul but it appeared she really did love the battle-scarred warrior. ''R-rippedear...'' she sobbed, shaking her head. ''My dear, my darling...'' she mumbled, taking no note of the new apprentice, she didn't even notice Sagestar striding up to her, resting his brushy tail over her shoulders. She didn't even notice the way he looked at her, eyes brimming with love. Falling in love with the murderer of his friend, Greynose. ''S-swanfoot...I am so sorry, my dear.'' Swanfoot froze, and turned to him astonished. ''W-what did you just call me?!'' Swanfoot exclaimed, now was not the time, she needed to mend her frozen heart first. She'd not let it thaw, even for Rippedear, the brutish one. ''I know, I know...you want your heart to mend first, Swanfoot...but I love you and when the time comes I want you to be my mate, whenever your ready.''
Sagestar asked Swanfoot to be his mate
swanfoot is expecting kits! she is due in two moons.

Witheredstalk smiled at the mention of her younger sister. She looked over towards the nursery where the tiny ginger she-kit was chasing after Acornkit and Beekit. "She's doing great." Witheredstalk purred happily. Stagstep was sitting at the entrance of the nursery with Bayfur and Sunnyflower, his tail curled with Bayfur's. Gorsekit and Icekit were busy chasing the blind tom's tail. "Is it bad that I don't think of Stagstep as my father?" "Why would you think that he's not?" Hemlockheart asked, turning his icy gaze towards her. "I just don't feel connected to him. I'm supposed to care about my father... but I don't care about Stagstep like that. I care about him as much as any other clanmate." "Hmm..." Hemlockheart mewed, his tail tip twitching. "Maybe you should talk with Sunnyflower about that."

When they were finished, Spiderstar jumped on the rock on shape of a birds head, then looked down. Now there were more cats, he needed to do this more formally. "Leafstrike and Ravenfeather, I would like you to go on a hunting patrol." the mates looked at each other and smiled. "Moonshadow and me can go on another." he added. Moonshadow barely responded. Then Spiderstar looked at Fawnthroat. "and you?" he asked her. "I'll go looking for herbs. There are some already, but I'll need more." she said. Spiderstar nodded. "alright, everyone go!"

Shadedleaf and Cloudpool had their herbs ready to take back to camp but they had a small freshkill pile arranged in a corner and Mottledshade, Rippleshade, and the kits were all comfortable and safe. Patrols went on as normal although Morningstar had given orders to avoid the southern half of the territory since it too had flooded.

Everytime he managed to get away from Specklekit's incessant annoying, and Silvershade's motherly watch, he would slip into the medicine cat den. The smell of herbs drifted all around him, and he couldn't help but smile. "What do you want to do?" Mintkit felt his eyes flicker across the herbs hidden in nooks in the dirt, smiling as he remembered some of them. Yarrow, Tansy, Chamomile, they all called to him. "Learn!" Morningpaw purred happily, pulling out a leaf with tiny seeds nestled inside, gently explaining, "Now these are-" "Mintkit!" Silvershade came crashing down into the medicine cat den, Specklekit and Beetlekit at her heels. "I'd thought you'd escaped!" Mintkit pawed the ground, feeling slightly guilty. "Ma, I was just training to be a medicine cat apprentice.." Specklekit yelped in a bewildered tone, "Ewww, he wants to play with yucky herbs." Silvershade shushed Specklekit, giving Mintkit a sympathetic smile. She meowed, "Erm, I understand that, but there's one problem." Mintkit frowned, his tail flicking nervously behind him. "What do you mean mama?" Silvershade took a deep breath, and explained. "Morningpaw.. Is the medicine cat apprentice. There can only be one at a time." Mintkit looked up at her in despair, slowly backing up. "N-no.. Ma, I want to! Learning herbs in fun, a-and Morningpaw is nice and-" "I'll make sure you get a great mentor. I promise, being a warrior is fun. You just need to get used to it." "But, mama. I don't wanna fight and hunt.. I wanna talk to Starclan and heal all my friends! I wont let you down..""I know Mintkit. I'm.. just, sorry."

"Fernstar," he meowed, "I'm going to go on a patrol; going to look for herbs if one of us gets sick or injured." "Alright." Fernstar looked at his new medicine cat, watching him pad out of camp to go look for herbs. Fernstar sighed, looking at the camp. I wish we had more cats.. he thought. I can't leave camp right now; then it would be virtually defenseless! So, Fernstar padded around, waiting for his medicine cat to return.
