LOVE POTION [⬢] SICK

[Ryekit]

Leafbare worsened with each day and the so-called 'frost' took its claim to plentiful of things. Honestly, it didn't harm anyone much like the flood besides everyone working overtime or harder. Tiny cream-white paws shuffle anxiously in her nest as she lets out a cough, her eyes heavy with the common kitten-cough that was spreading amongst the clans. Ryekit was feeling decent earlier, however, that quickly changed, and she felt quite exhausted now. Her head feels heavy with congestion as another cough and sniffle leaves her tiny body as she cuddles closer to @stormkit. and @MOONKIT . " C-Cold... " she murmurs weakly as snot drips slightly from her nose.

I want Auntie Robinheart or Mama...

Her eyes tear up as she weakly gets out of her nest and sluggishly leaves the nursery in search of @robinheart or @willowroot . The young daughter of Gladefrost collapses near the medicine den as her tail curls between her legs, and she lets out more wracking coughs. " A-Auntie.... Mama W-Willow... " Ryekit whispers, trembling as she shivers and forces herself to her haunches; sickness and tiredness evident in her heterochromatic gaze. The lilac tabby felt horrible, but she was at an all-time peak with the leafbare hitting the new colds. She shakes her paws and settles them on her tail to shake the biting cold off her soft pawpads, looking for one of her two guardians.

No need to wait for the pinged! Ryekit is sick with moderate case of kittencough!

[DROPLETKIT]

Sniffles and coughs weren't too uncommon in the nursery, but it was still cause for concern when Ryekit kept doing both. Dropletkit resides in her own, her lips dipped in a frown as she curls in to her mamas side even tighter. It was cold, and she was cold too, but worry floods her chest as she just keeps coughing. Droplet doesn't like that sound, much...

Ryekit finally rises from her nest and she untangles herself from her own siblings in pursuit. She teeters after Ryekit, because why wouldn't they, eyes wide with concern as they trail after her sickly form. She gets out in to camp, a weak call, and then she collapses in front of Mrs. Moonbeams den and Dropletkit scurries over, mouth parted as if she'd call for help, and she does, even if it comes out squeaky and afraid. "Moonbeam! Moooonbeam! Come quick! Mama! Mama, I need help!" she calls for her mama, because her mama always knows what to do, even when Dropletkit didn't. Ryekit shivers before her, is she cold? Dropletkit wasn't a medicine cat, no matter how many times she liked to play the part when the other kits played clan.

She panics, grinding her teeth together as the cogs turn within their brain. And then... An idea. Dropletkit drops low to the ground, trying to curl around Ryekit, because once upon a time she vowed to help Claythorn take care of them when they had been placed in her nest, and she was eager, willing to keep her promise. They'd do their best to keep Ryekit warm, because thats all they can even think of doing...

[robinheart]

The medicine den teems with those wounded in battle or victim to the early leafbare. It is… overwhelming to the new medicine cat apprentice. But she perseveres and puts her best paw forward. She has to. Riverclan depends upon its medicine cat and apprentice to keep them all healthy and strong.

Robinheart finds herself changing out bedding when a quiet voice whimpers for her. 'A-Auntie…' followed by the panicked mewls of one of Claythorn's brood. Her heart drops into her stomach as the tortoiseshell pushes the wad of fresh moss she has been working with aside in favor of exiting the den.

Just outside lies her niece, shivering and radiating sickly heat. Dropletkit tries to curl around Ryekit, tries to help in the only way she knows, and Robinheart wants to commend the child. But then she thinks of the illness surrounding Ryekit and panics over it potentially spreading to Dropletkit and beyond. "Hey, hey… it's okay. I will take Ryekit to Moonbeam. We will make sure she feels better. How about you go back to the nursery now, Dropletkit. It's much too cold for you to be out," Robinheart murmurs gently, keeping her tone as even as possible. She will not scare the kits if she can help it.

If Dropletkit moves away from Ryekit, Robinheart aims to gently grip the feverish kitten's scruff between her teeth and raise her from the frosty ground. She will get Ryekit moved into the medicine den and placed in a fresh nest. And after that… she will learn from her mentor what ails her niece and how to cure the child of her starbound best friend.
