BRIGHTER THAN A LUCKY PENNY - Marblepaw

[Gigglepaw]

To Gigglepaw, her cousin was practically a minor celebrity. Since she had become medicine cat apprentice, Gigglepaw hadn't had much time for just the two of them - which was fine, as in her eyes, Marblepaw was doing important work. The same as their aunt, Starlingheart. What had become one of Gigglepaw's pastimes - and a way for her to get in interactions with Marblepaw - was digging up random flowers that she came across and bringing them to Marblepaw in the hopes that they might have some medicinal use. On the off chances that she did bring something useful, Marblepaw's praise gave Gigglepaw a rush of pride for being able to bring something to the table for ShadowClan.

"Marblepaw!" Gigglepaw's voice was muffled as she surged into the medicine cat's den, dropping a small collection of plants at her cousin's paws. "Marblepaw, I found these while I was out on patrol, and I thought they might be useful. What d'you think?" She had a smile on her face that looked like she was about to burst with excitement. She bounced on her front paws, waiting for a - hopefully - positive response. It didn't matter to her that Marblepaw might not be as well-versed in herbs as Starlingheart - what mattered was that she got to spend time with a beloved cousin.

[MARBLEPAW]

Of all her kin in the Clan, Marblepaw misses spending time with Gigglepaw the most. Her brother had developed a snide, rough-edged tongue that he did not hesitate to wield against her, and his self-importance at being taught by a lead warrior had only flowered with his burgeoning ego. She still loves Sycamorepaw, of course, but she finds herself seeking her cousin for family time more than anything. The two had been kits in the nursery together, and Gigglepaw's company had been one of the things to draw Marblepaw out of her feral shell.

Her kin's wide green eyes greet her before her mouth can, for once; in this case, it's because Gigglepaw carries bent stems and broken stalks of greenery. Marblepaw pauses what she's doing — extracting mousebile, a filthy and unpleasant task in the best of cases — and squints at the pile of herbage her cousin expels onto the cavern floor.

"I found these while I was out on patrol, and I thought they might be useful. What d'you think?" Gigglepaw's grin is infectious; Marblepaw can't help but smile back, even as she shakes her head. "You shouldn't have! You should be listening to what Forestshade is telling you, you know." Her chiding is lighthearted. She lowers her face and sniffs the spit-laced plants.

Well... she smells a faint aroma of whatever Gigglepaw had scarfed down for breakfast that morning, as well as some freshly-turned soil, but as for usefulness... Marblepaw puts a paw to her muzzle to contain her laughter. "Sorry, but I think the best thing we've got in here is some marshgrass for nests. Still, that's not a bad thing!" She purrs, angling her face toward Gigglepaw's. "So what have they got you learning right now? I feel like I never see you anymore. You go on more patrols than some of the warriors!"
