pafp took too much cough medicine .. playing 'medicine cat'

[braveheart : ̗̀➛]

☀ . ° ✦ It had been very clear to Bravepaw that Berryheart's sickness was not going to be so easy to cure. He had sent Hailstorm all the way out to SkyClan's border just to ask for the herbs that would help his cough, and while Bravepaw hadn't been to that border just yet he felt like it was definitely a far distance to travel. Maybe an entire day, or even two! By some magic he had come back by the end of the day, something about StarClan and LeopardClan making them run fast through the forest. Once day he would have to figure out how to use that, but as long as Howlingstar kept him stuck in camp until his sixth moon he would just have to wait.

Hailstorm was out again that morning, Bravepaw noticed when there was an obvious lack of mountainous fur in the medicine den. His father and Wolfwind had recently left their nests behind, ready to return to their duties but one was still occupied. Still resting until the catmint took its time. With no medicine cat actively in camp, Bravepaw thought he would help! Better than relearning his hunters crouch over and over in the middle of the ravine, at least.

With slow, quiet steps he snuck around the elders den to creep into the shadow stone-walled den, blinking until his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He recognized the organized shelf of herbs almost immediately from the countless times Hailstorm has had to tell him to 'watch out- don't step on that!' He will be very careful now, he was going to be their medicine cat until Hailstorm came back!

"Hmm... oooh.... uh huh...." He pondered over the herbs, deciding which would be the best for Berryheart's ailments. With thoughtful movement he plucked a laurel leaf from a small pile and a dandelion, beginning to wrap the fluffy yellow herb within the leaf. "Mhmm... medicine! I made medicine." His excitement unable to be contained too long, the volume of his voice grew above the whisper he was trying to maintain. The nest of his 'patient' began to stir, and Bravepaw turned his head with the bundle still between his paws.

"Good morning Mister Berryheart! I'm making your medicine while Mister Hailstorm's out."

[BERRYHEART]

Sleep came and went, but that was the way of wellness too. And now when he slept it was peaceful and deep- uninterrupted by coughs jolting him awake. It was not wheezing bursting from within himself that awoke him, therefore- it was rustling, and a chirping voice. Mossy green eyes opened, crooked jaw still resting on his paws. Had Snowy's voice gotten higher? Did part of the greencough recovery process include auditory hallucination?

No, no- a kitten, and not white and stormy-pelted but chocolate and rosetted, with eyes bright blue.

Bright-eyes stared at him for a few long moments, voice full of pride, watching him for gratitude... presumable. Berryheart slid a white-toed paw ofer his nose and mouth. "Good morning..." he murmured, endeared but worried for the kit's safety. But yelling would do no could, and barbed words were often received quite negatively. Gratitude glimmered subtly in his eyes, despite the stony neutrality on his face.

"Now... what's in this medicine?" He still spoke into the muffle of his paw. Wisdom should be imparted, regarding this... "Please keep your distance." No room for argument.​

[GENTLESTORM]

I SEE A SONG OF PAST ROMANCE — A small sniffle leaves him as he walks back into camp having managed to catch a mouse already making his way towards the medicine den, offering those a passed a polite dip of his head, and both of his tufted ears would perk forward. He had gone out to catch something for Berryheart deciding to make the most of leaf-bare and its snow that hid him well, he can't help but frown through his catch hearing the sound of talking coming from the den wondering if someone had come to visit his mentor while he was away. He stops in his tracks deciding to figure out who it was with a nonexistent brow furrowed, he knew that the mottled tom's kin oftentimes visited him to see how he was doing but the sound of a high pitched voice immediately makes the hairs on his neck prickle upwards. Without hesitating, Hailstorm steps into the den to find Bravepaw conjuring up "medicine" for Berryheart which would've been amusing if the apprentice hadn't gotten into the shelf where the herbs were stored, curling the yellow bloom into the leaf with inexperienced paws, and was so close to a recovering patient.

He places the mouse near his friend then stepping back to use a large paw in an attempt to push Bravepaw back and away from the medicine cat, he speaks in a gentle tone "An important lesson and tip to all cats even if they're not medicine cats is to keep a safe distance away from recovering cats. We wouldn't want you getting sick either," His gaze focuses onto the laurel leaf wrapped around the dandelion and can't help but feel some pride blossom in his chest seeing that the apprentice had used the leaf properly in enveloping the bloom though he's not certain if he would give the yellow flower to Berryheart. Instead, he decides to entertain this even for a little bit and he's curious "Mhm. I'm quite curious what you used for the medicine as well."

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ it was strange to have all these apprentices flooding camp, demoted back to kits in all but their names. and it didn't seem like they were up to anything that benefitted their now impending apprenticeship, bravepaw was sat playing with flowers. perhaps blazestar had the right idea.

her ears pricked towards the medicine cat's den where bravepaw decided to drop off his 'medicine'. rushing into the den where sickness festered, luckily berryheart was up enough to stop him before getting too close. hailstorm sweeps in to bestow knowledge upon the overgrown kit, entertaining his poorly crafted herbs. nightbird gave him a bored look, just because the warrior code now stated that bravepaw was too young to fight did not mean he had to be babied.

"a medicine cat does not give out cures without trying them on their own beforehand, it's bad practice." she shrugged, stars knew if it was the truth, but berryheart did not need to be ingesting some child's concoction when he was already ill.

[braveheart : ̗̀➛]

☀ . ° ✦ Bravepaw does not expect any harsh words or demand to leave. A Clanmate had never spoken to him in any such way before, and his time filtering in and out of the medicine den when his father shared a nest here was not met with sharp barking but gentle directive. He felt comfortable in this den, no sense of hesitancy in setting his paws inside which could make him either a wonderful patient ready to accept his injuries or an obnoxious visitor.

Bright blues grew wide as Berryheart was interested in the medicine he prepared- did that mean he did it right? A small shuffle backward wasn't quite enough distance that the medicine cat was asking for but he didn't appear phased when Hailstorm appeared and guided him a further distance away. He kept the herbs within his paws safely curled up in his grasp and nodded his head firmly in understanding. He wouldn't get sick, he would listen!

"It's a um... the leaf is an anti-coughing leaf! And this little yellow flower is to make it taste good. Like honey." All part of his play pretend as medicine cat, of course.

Nightbird's delivery was not as kind as the other two toms, he would recognize it closer to the way Raccoonstripe or WIldheart spoke to him about Fallowpaw. It doesn't make his confidence falter, though, instead stirring a giggle from his chest. Clearly directed at her. "I'm not really making medicine, Miss NIghtbird. It's all pretend! You're silly thinking I could be a medicine cat, too." Maybe it would be good advice to eat the herbs if he wanted to play his pretend game better, but he had a feeling they wouldn't like that, either.

"Was I close, though? Does the flower make things taste better?" A hopeful gaze returned to Berryheart and Hailstorm.
