Medicine Cat Den 3

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream trotted into her den with Streampaw by her shoulder. Both cats were carrying huge amounts of tansy.

[Streamlight]

Streampaw started running when they got back to camp because the bad taste of tansy was all in her mouth.

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream carefully placed her jawful of tansy beside the other herbs in the herb store. SHe turned to her apprentice, "Streampaw," she meowed quietly, "You did a good job today - why don't you go and get some fresh-kill and you're done for the day."

[Streamlight]

Streampaw's eyes brightened "what about sorting them" Streampaw asked it was her faveroite time when they were sorting herbs.

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream nodded slightly. She knew that Streampaw loved sorting the herbs. "Wait here," she meowed softly, and padded out of the den. When the medicine cat came back, her jaws were full of fresh-kill. She passed the plump vole to her apprentice and put the mouse beside her nest of moss and heather. "Eat first," she mewed, "You can help me after you've eaten."

[Streamlight]

"okay" Streampaw meowed quickly devoering the vole in swift hungrey bites. "Alright lets get started" Streampaw raced in and grabbed out all the herbs so they could sort them and placed them in piles ready for them to sort.

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream narrowed her eyes in amusement. "Alright," she meowed, her voice tinkling with laughter. "You can sort some horsetail, marigold, borage, and poppy seeds," she gave her apprentice a swift lick on the top of her head.

[Streamlight]

Streampaw layed down and started sorting through her stock of herbs "Ripplestream are you going to sort some to" Streampaw asked

[</cloudii>]

"Yes," Ripplestream replied, she glanced at all the other herbs. "I'm going to do all the rest," she murmured.

Pebblestone bounded towards the medicine cat den, limping slightly. "Ripplestream!" he yowled his sister's name.
"Yes, Pebblestone? Come in," Ripplestream could scent blood already.

[Streamlight]

Streampaw scented it to as she was alredy making a pouicet(sp?)

[</cloudii>]

"I have a thorn in my pawpad," Pebblestone told Ripplestream.
"Streampaw!" Ripplestream called softly, "Prepare a marigold poultice please!" She told Pebblestone to lie down and she pulled out the thorn as gently as she could.

[Streamlight]

"Already done" Streampaw meowed bringing it forward to Ripplestream

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream looked surprised. "Already?" she meowed.
Pebblestone limped forward and lay down again.

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Seamist padded slowly into the den, supported onboth sides by her kits Pinestorm and Hazeltear. Her ears pricked forwards and her dull eyes filled with life at the sight of her mate.
"Pebblestone!" she rasped, and stumbled towards him.
"Steady," Pinestorm warned, as he and his sister lay Seamist on the ground next to Pebblestone.
OOC: I'm gonna have to make an announcement, or something, but here's the idea: Seamist had a Firestar's Quest-type dream from StarClan, and she and her kits went to fulfill a prophecy. Or something. If you can provide a better idea, that would be appreciated. xD

[</cloudii>]

ooc - Yaaayyy! You're back! *huggles*
I'll have to tell Shiro-Chan (if she comes back) that Freewind isn't Pebble's mate anymore, 'cause i though you weren't coming back anymore xP
I think your idea is pretty good... ;D
Oh and Streampaw's RPer isn't here anymore, so pretend Ripple's APTC isn't here...lol

Pebblestone's eyes widened as he saw his mate. "Seamist!" he gasped. He had thought his mate was dead. He leaped up at once, although his paw still hurt, and curled around the tired looking she-cat. Giving her ears a swift lick, he glanced at Ripplestream, who had the same surprised expression on her face.

He turned his green gaze to his kits, Pinestorm and Hazeltear. "Where did you three go?" his voice was a whisper. "I had thought all of you were dead..."

Ripplestream soon recovered from her shock and quickly went to get some strengthening herbs from her store to give to the former deputy and her kits. She lay them in front of Seamist and meowed softly, "Eat these, they'll help you get your strength back," she glanced at Pinestorm and Hazeltear as well, "You too," she put another small pile of herbs in front of them.

She decided that after her brother's paw was tended to, she would give the four of them some privacy. She gently took Pebblestone's paw and pulled out the thorn and smeared the poultice all over it to prevent an infection.
