-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-there had to be something he could do. he doesn't wanna upset gentlestorm by getting up and moving before he's fully healed but he's getting bored. he doesn't complain because complaining doesn't do anything but makes things worse but he does need to keep his paws busy. he sits outside of his nest, pulling out the old and used moss, perking up his ears when someone walks in with new moss. his smile is wide, even if it only slightly reaches his eyes, and he waves with a paw at the other.

"oh, hi! thank you for the moss, you're just in time! i was thinking about making nests for everyone in here and some extra ones in case new patients get in here for gentlestorm. wanna help?"

he asks as he shifts to gently move and try to reweave the nest be will still be in for the next moon. he misses going to see the stars. maybe he can convince gentlestorm to watch the stars with him if he promises to be really good and really still!!!

𓇢𓇢 The silky-furred tom enters the den with the usual bounce in his step, a bundle of moss clutched carefully in his jaws. Orangepaw is quick to greet him, prompting Laughblossom to raise a paw and wave back. Hazel eyes brighten as he greets the younger tom, and a warm smile spreads over his maw. He deposits the moss onto the ground, puffing out his chest in a show of pride. "Why, of course! A warrior’s duty includes engaging in the mundane."

It seems that his and the orange tom’s goals are aligned—he nods eagerly, his fluffy tail swishing behind him. "I would be pleased to aid you in your quest," he responds, offering a mock-bow to the apprentice. Laughblossom is a master of the beautiful, of the pleasing to the eye. With him, of all warriors, lending his assistance to Orangepaw, every cat within the medicine den will have a comfortable and wondrous nest to rest in! With a skip in his step, the tom sets about pawing at the moss that he’s delivered to the den.

Twilightkit does not want to be here today. In her efforts to follow her siblings about the camp, she followed one too-closely and didn't pay mind to where her paws fell. And before she knew it, a thorn had wedged its way into her paw pad. As close as she had ever gotten to whimpery, the she-kit went to her mother first, and thus was accompanied to the medicine den.

She steps in, golden gaze falling over Orangepaw and Laughblossom as the latter bows and speaks. The silver tabby furrows her brows, single tears cresting her lower lids as she is forced to hobble on an injured paw. Should her mother allow it, the she-kit leans into the queen's side, easing her weight off of her thorn-pricked limb. Her attention does not pull from the duo, as they provide at least a distraction while she nurses her injury.

"When will I learn to make nests?" she asks into the open air. Apprentices do it all the time, but is it a skill that they join the apprentice's den already knowing, or is it one that warriors teach their charges? She doesn't like that she doesn't know.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ kitten paws were soft, unhardened by travel through thunderclan's dense forest. in time, a thorn to one would be no more than an annoying slight, and nightbird could hardly wait for the day. but for now, she escorted her daughter to gentlestorm's den. perhaps she could even steal a moment of her friend's time to chat whilst the other queens watched the rest of her litter.

she is met with orangepaw's beaming grin upon entrance, a sight that nearly tugged her heart as her gaze drifted to his casted hindleg. even stuck in here, he was productive, intent on building nests for their denmates alongside laughblossom. she listens idly as she looks for gentlestorm, ears flicking when twilightkit speaks up. she glances down to her kit, suddenly distracted by a task she didn't seem all too bothered by the thorn any longer.

"soon," nightbird hums. the day couldn't come soon enough. by the time twilightkit and her siblings were making nests, she would be back to hunting and patrolling. the queen's paws nearly twitch at the thought. "maybe, if gentlestorm gives his approval and you feel up to the task, you could help out orangepaw and laughblossom today." she'd stay to oversee, of course. get some time away from the nursery in as well. and while the medicine cat's den certainly wasn't much better, it was a change of scenery at least.

Softpaw often found herself alone when it came to the subject of friends, with little to no one to speak to, though this didn't particularly bother her - in fact, she preferred to keep to herself and help from the shadows, especially when it came to the medicine cat's den. Gentlestorm took too much work upon his own shoulders, with no proper apprentice to help him, and Softpaw had come to find the smattering of herbal scents a bit refreshing after a long day of training.

Today, it would seem as though Orangepaw and Laughblossom - and possibly their little helper, Twilightkit - had beat Softpaw to the punch when it came to assisting Gentlestorm.

"I can spare an extra paw for anything you all need," she said, looking between the gathered cats - offering help was the least she could do, even if whatever task she was delegated took her out of the medicine cat's den. She'd be happy to help build nests or assist Nightbird if the queen needed anything.
