The summer months have proven far more peaceful than the last cycle of seasons had been.... It would soon be approaching the anniversary of the Journey and with it, the threat of yellowcough and its potential return. Lichenstar cannot pretend she understands how disease works, why it spreads the way it does or how it even begins... that was the job of medicine cats and sometimes the answers even eluded them. The air is sticky with the humidity, sweltering where the sun warms their rivers and the roaring waters in the depths of the gorge. The number of dead it had claimed is a constant reminder, and she pulls away from its edge out of subconscious fear- out of newly formed habit.
As they draw nearer to the WindClan border, she draws in a deep breath as if it had been a struggle to catch up until this point- only to find it even more difficult... and itchy... and- Achoo! She lifts a paw to rub at her nose, trying to satisfy the stuffiness and persistent itch while drawing in a ragged breath to protesting lungs. "I forgot... this border... is- Achoo!- so dusty..." This time of year especially, it's like some horrible little nuisance lingers in the air to harass passersby. It had practically covered the WindClanners and painted them yellow the last time.
"Let's... move quickly..." she tells her patrol-mates with a small, notable wheeze at the end of her words. She didn't want the pollen to collect on her fur and be stuck with her the entire journey home until she could wash it off in the river near camp.
