form ╚XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX╝ Cloudpaw blinked a few times, nodding his head quickly. The stocky, offwhite and tan tom brought himself to his paws, making his way over to the den entrance to where Hollowpaw was waiting, a look of bedridden anguish painted upon her complexion. Oh, poor Hollowpaw, she must really be hurting. Bellyaches are never fun, he thought, eying her sympathetically. "Come inside, Hollowpaw, I have what you need." He meowed, motioning to her with a paw. He stepped aside as she staggered by, collapsing on the nest closest to her, and looked up at him expectantly. Cloudpaw nodded curtly again, partly to reassure himself; Ivyleaf didn't usually leave him alone with patients, regardless of the circumstances. But this was just a stomachache, nothing too severe. Cloudpaw padded over to the herb storage, fumbling around in the crevices with his paw, until he pulled out a couple of small, black berries. He grinned and padded back over to where Hollowpaw lay, holding out the berries in the pad of his paw. "These are juniper berries, Hollowpaw. They should help your bellyache in no time; just take a few." He explained, placing the herbs in the nest next to her. He watched as Hollowpaw lapped up the berries, thanking him afterward, then stood up and asked him a question. The stocky tom nodded, "Oh, yeah, I guess you can." He responded, turning around and padding back to the storage area. Cloudpaw batted a leaf down from one of the depressions in the stone. He grabbed another pawful of juniper berries, placed them gently in the leaf, and folded the two sides of the leaf over each other. He then nipped off a short vine drooping from the cave roof, and bound the leaf with it, fastening it tightly with his teeth as Ivyleaf had shown him multiple times. Smiling cheekily, Cloudpaw picked up the leaf-wrap and bounded back over to Hollowpaw- that is, until something tripped up his large, clumsy paws and he was sent face-first into the den-flooring, dropping the bound leaf laden of the sweet-scented aroma from the juniper berries. Ears ringing, he could distinguish a scuffling noise. Flickering his eyes open, he spotted Hollowpaw brushing the spilt berries back into the safety of the leaf-wrap, and exiting the den with it in her jaws. Cloudpaw lifted his head as he watched her go, "Oh- well, goodbye! I hope you feel better." He called after her, feeling rather proud of himself.

form ╚XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX╝ Hollowpaw winced slightly as Ivyleaf called for her apprentice instead, staring nonchalantly at the bulky tom as he padded slowly over to her. Great... leave me with the 'special' one. Oh well, it's not like he'll thwart me in any way. In fact... he might be able to help me. Smiling gingerly, Hollowpaw brushed passed him, flopping down onto the first nest she caught sight of with another fake moan of agony. Her acute, sky-blue eyes surveyed his every move, gazing at him thoroughly whilst he rummaged through the storage- then something stole her attention. The familiar, enticingly-scented herb was laying inside a crevice in the rock-wall, urging her to come forward, to let it consume her. Catnip. Hollowpaw shook her head, snapping out of her brief trance to see Cloudpaw padding toward her again. Glancing at the berries for a moment, Hollowpaw grinned up at him, "Thank you, Cloudpaw." She purred, licking up the small, spherical herbs swiftly. "Cloudpaw, do you think I could take a few of these with me to my nest? Y'know, in case my stomachache comes back." She said over her mouthful of berries. As soon as the stocky apprentice turned his back to her, the white and tabby she-cat spat them out, brushing off her tongue with a paw. Making not the slightest sound, the short, stout fae arose to her paws. She observed as the tom worked in the back, wrapping the berries in a large leaf. Hollowpaw padded light over to the storage lining the walls, reaching for a clump of the catmint and pulling it out of the depression with her paw. As Cloudpaw turned around once more, Hollowpaw quickly stretched out her foreleg, tripping the tom up so
hard, that he crashed onto the ground and dropped the leaf-wrap, spilling most of its contents.
Whoops~ She thought humorously, rushing over to the spilt berries. She placed the bound of catnip inside, before scooping the berries back inside as well, better to mask the captivating herb's scent. "Thanks for the help, Cloudpaw!" She called deviously, bounding out of the den wit the bundle of herbs in her jaws feeling rather proud of herself. Her sharp, perceptive gaze shifted in each direction, and making sure not to make herself appear too suspicious, she held her head high as she cantered across the clearing toward the elder's den, gradually receding from the den encased in the aroma of mixed herbs and plants. Perking her petite auds, the fae caught sight of Rainmask's mangled, curled pelt. Smirking slightly, she bounded forward, approaching the elder. She halted in front of him, setting the leaf-package done. "There you are, old man. One package of dru- I mean the most captiving herbs known to feline-kind." As the elder slowly reached for the leaf-wrap, Hollowpaw placed her paw on it and drew it backward. "Hold on a second, keep your fur on. What's in it for me?" She questioned, narrowing her sky-blue visionaries.
