With the patrol beginning to go their separate ways to get some hunting done, the older apprentice found herself sticking close by to Ripplestream. The warrior wasn't exactly someone she knew, they were one of Chilledstar's siblings and that was the extent of their knowledge. Though getting food for her clan was a priority, she couldn't help but ask the other a question here or there, see what jokes they were into and whether or not they had any ideas to what their warrior name might be. For a time, it was either a one-sided conversation or a regular one. Everything changed when they entered a clearing for the first time.
Before them were long-leaved plants with stems shooting out from the middle of them. Atop them were white flowers, tiny compared to the rest of the plant, but plentiful. Even from a distance, the cat's sensitive nose could detect something memorable coming from the flora, as if she had detected their stench before within the medicine den during her tenure there. She cast a look at Ripplestream, then back to the plant, then back at Ripplestream, flashing the black cat a toothy grin. With reckless abandon, Bloodpaw hopped closer to the mystery plants, practically begging the other to follow with a wide-eyed stare over her shoulder.
She reclined by the first stem she reached, her claws idly scratching at the leaves. It was that that made the plant's aroma come to life, the older apprentice immediately squinting and withdrawing from the garlic. "Coooor, that smells strong." It was more pungent than a badger, with a caustic after smell that made the cinnamon tabby stare down at it in shock and awe. With tears at the corner of her eyes, she turned her head towards Ripplestream to see their reaction. In the mean time, she flicked her ear, an idea coming to her head. "Hey, prey won't be able to smell us coming if we roll around in this, will they?"
// The marshes, with all their humidity and wetness, can be a great source of growth. It is now ripe with big garlic bulbs and a surprising lack of usage... maybe you can figure out what we should do with them? Two minds are greater than one, after all!
