"That's no problem of all, Fox." Maplefall held out her tail to stop the younger cat and leaned down. "I'm going to pull it out, if it's okay." She lifted Fox's paw and squinted at the thorn. "That looks a lot like it hurts. It'll probably hurt coming out, but you'll feel much better after it's out." She began licking the paw around the thorn. 'It's ok!' She purred, sitting with all the patience of a saint as she watched the elder cat tend to her wound, fuzzy tail twitching slightly. "Get ready," Maplefall warned, then bit into the thorn and yanked it out--leaving no time for worry or doubt. She winced as it finally dropped to the ground, leading Fox toward the herb garden again. "Okay, it's out. Does it hurt anymore? Want some herbs or cobwebs on it?" On second thought, she went back to pick the thorn back up so it wouldn't make a hazard for any other cats walking this hallway. |

Pebblesong
Pebblesong dodged the swipe, instead tumbling to the ground. She had fallen roughly, landing on her own shoulder blade, but it was nothing she couldn't shake off. At least I avoided that fox, she sighed to herself as she lifted herself to her paws. As the fox backed up, the she-cat lowered herself against the ground once more, hissing at the fox, hoping it would leave. Her eyes were locked on that of the fox, her tail flicking violently.

Aspenwhisker rushed forward and claws the second fox's leg. She was feeling terrified but knew she had to fight.

- - Flamewhisker
"Hey!" he shouted at the fox while he rammed into it, trying to force it off Duskstorm. He listened to the tom-cat's ear piercing yowl and flattened his ears against his head, trying to block out the sound. That sounds bad.., he worried.

Rosebriar looked at the fox it had hurt the cats that had jumped in to protect her. She wasn't going to let it get away without a few more scratches. She faced it straight on making herself look as big as possible and just started raking it with mad swipes not caring if all of them were making contact. She watched though so she could dodge if necessary.

- - Fox 1
The fox kicked Flamewhisker away and rolled back onto its feet, yelping as it turned tail and made a run for it.
- - Fox 2
The fox yelped and tried to back away further, but when that failed, it made one final attempt to snap at Rosebriar and Aspenwhisker before running away after its companion.
- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart tried to jump forward to help Rosebriar, but the fox was already running away. In a final attempt to save face, he ran after the foxes for a fair distance, trying to swipe at their hind legs, until he noticed the sharp pain in the shoulder he had landed on and slowed to a stop.

Duskstorm lay still, chest heaving for breath. He couldn't move for the pain in his leg, and stayed still, watching the others from the corner of his eye.
'Thankyou.' He quietly said to Flamewhisker, feeling a slight companionship form in him with the other Tom, grateful he'd even bothered to help.

She stood and gently patted her paw on the ground, before sitting back down and licking it to clean it. 'Maybe some cobwebs, please. It's just a little sore.' |

- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart panted and slowly turned around as the foxes sprinted away from the castle. "Thank you, all of you," he said. "You fought well. I'm--I'm sorry I didn't do a better job protecting you. I . . ." he sighed and flicked his tail.
"Is anyone badly injured?" he asked.

- - Flamewhisker
"No problem," he replied, wincing from the cold wind against his fresh wound. "We need to get you to an herbalist. That looks bad." Flamewhisker tried to help him up and support his weight, noticing that Duskstorm's injury was far more dramatic than the cut on his own cheek. Part of him had to be happy, however. It wasn't everyday that you get the chance to make a friend, and he thought there might be potential there. But when he turned his head and saw the injured royal guard, the smiling part stopped grinning. He wanted to run over and help, but this cat could barely move...
- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw saw Rosebriar and gave her a small smile. "Good work," she stated simply before turning her attention to the wounded royal guard.

"Yes your daughter is still safe. Do you want me to escort you or just keep patrolling the tower?" Stoneheart glanced over his shoulder. "Why don't you come inside? I'm sure Dewfern would like someone besides me or my brother to talk to." He wondered dimly where his brother was, but he wasn't worried; Thunderheart always materialized at mealtime. |

Pebblesong
Pebblesong rushed to Thunderheart's side, attempted to support him despite her small body. "You did what you could. We need to get you to an herbalist." She stated, looking at him in the state he was in. Her gaze then lowered to her paws, as she wasn't sure how her support would be taken.

(I just realized that a fox completely chomped down on Tawnyclaw and I didn't even have her react. Good job me.  ) - - Tawnyclaw Tawnyclaw scanned the cat for injuries. "You sure?" she asked her. She realized that only seconds ago, the patrol had been peacefully hunting for their castle and friends, now two cats were heavily injured. She winced at the sudden feeling of pain when her elbow rubbed her flank. She craned her neck to investigate and saw she had bleeding bite wounds. Now it was all she could think about. She began to lick her wounds, grimacing at the taste of her own spilled blood. |

- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart lowered his ears and looked away. "We should take care of everyone else first," he said. ". . . But thank you. You fought well. Perhaps in another life, you could have been a guard." He gave her an appreciative glance, remembering that she had been the first to jump to his defense. Still, he didn't want to show any more weakness; he leaned away from her and began limping back toward the drawbridge on his own. He even went so far as to pick up one of the hunters' kills, telling himself he would make a point to drop it off in the grand hall before going to see the herbalists. On his way, he nodded to Rosebriar in acknowledgement of her bravery.
"Aspenwhisker, will you help take anyone who is wounded to see the herbalists? They should all be in the garden at this time of day." Without waiting for an answer, he climbed onto the drawbridge and went back into the castle, praying that he wouldn't run into his brother on the way--he could almost hear the nagging.
- - Stoneheart
Stoneheart smiled faintly. "It won't be for long. I'll let you go once Thunderheart returns." He turned around and led the way into the royal tower, stopping when he sees Dewfern pressed up against the doorway. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"And what are you doing?" he asked.

Pebblesong | Heath
Pebblesong dipped her head to Thunderheart, respecting his wishes and position. She admired his strength and selflessness. As he padded away, she glanced around to the other cats beside her, trying to determine whether or not another cat needed her help as she was not injured, aside from her shoulder. But as I said, I'll walk it off.
---
Shadowfire | Castle
Shadowfire had left the Meadow and began to wander about the castle. There didn't seem to be much activity within the walls, and she wondered whether she had missed a patrol. An angry huff escaped her mouth, as she felt bored and useless wandering the castle. How am I supposed to get to know anyone else by myself?
---
Cedar | The Meadow
Cedar swiped his paw, his claws unsheathed. He was working on putting power into his movements. One day, I'll be the greatest guard there ever was. The apprentice had been training by himself for most of the day, as he had missed the patrol with his mentor. At the moment, he was not concerned for when they would return. He crouched down, allowing his bushy orange underbelly to press against the floor. His haunches wiggled slightly as he crept forward, flicking his tail. In a sudden movement, he launched his body from the ground and flew forward at an invisible opponent. When he hit the ground, he tumbled into a flowerbed, showering his pelt with dust.

"Good work," she stated simply before turning her attention to the wounded royal guard. The pain continued to get worse and he leaned heavily on Flamewhisker, feeling terrible that he was being a bother. He struggled to put down his back paw, and hissed with pain when he moved it, a pain which shot up his leg and into his hip. He assumed the fox had crushed his leg, or at least broken it, which would be a severe problem considering his job. He felt panicked as they made their way back, desperately hoping he'd be able to get fixed. ((Gonna have him be out of action for a while, plenty of scheming time rofl)) |

"Get ready," Maplefall warned, then bit into the thorn and yanked it out--leaving no time for worry or doubt. She winced as it finally dropped to the ground, leading Fox toward the herb garden again. "Okay, it's out. Does it hurt anymore? Want some herbs or cobwebs on it?" On second thought, she went back to pick the thorn back up so it wouldn't make a hazard for any other cats walking this hallway. She jumped as it was removed but looked much more relieved. She stood and gently patted her paw on the ground, before sitting back down and licking it to clean it. 'Maybe some cobwebs, please. It's just a little sore.' "Just what I would suggest," Maplefall purred, leading Fox into the garden and going straight to the cobwebs--everything here had its place, which made the herbalists' job thousands of times easier. She took some and arranged them on Fox's paw before licking it a few times and stepping away. "Looks good. Hopefully it'll heal quickly. Now go on, I'm sure you have something important to do." |

'Not really.' She sighed, flicking an ear. 'I can't find my mentor, and I've completed my duties for the morning.' She stood, swishing her tail carefully so as to not disturb the garden. She beamed up at the she cat, 'thank you very much for your help!' And bowed her head, before turning and bounding away, comically holding up her paw in front of her as she left. |

(Let's drop him off with Sandstripe then. WINK.)
- - Flamewhisker
Flamewhisker felt the anxiety rise in the cat leaning on him by his heart rate increasing slightly. I hope this guy's okay... He's kind of freaking me out right now, he thought awkwardly. He came to the garden and poked his head over a small shrub. "Um... We kind of need help over here. Are you guys available?"

Shadowfire | Wandering Castle - Garden
Shadowfire had wandered towards the entrance of the castle, wondering when the patrol would return. She hoped to find a guard so that she could go out hunting. Not that I need the protection, she thought to herself, flicking her tail confidently. As she continued around the front of the castle, she noticed the wounding cats entering from outside of the castle. Her eyes flashed with curiosity, as she steadily followed them into the garden. She fell into line a few paces behind Flamewhisker, pricking her ears up to listen to the conversation. I wonder what happened.

It wasn't like Duskstorm was the friendliest of cats; in fact he usually went out of his way to avoid others. He warded off the pain in his leg to quietly give Flamewhisker an appreciative lick on the shoulder. 'Thanks for this.' He mumbled, as they waited for the herbalists to come. |

Rowanrooth noticed the patrol return but noticed some of them looked injured. He wondered what had happened to them. "I miss all the action." He mumbled softly to himself.
Aspenwhisker begins to make her way to the garden. She glanced over her shoulder to see if the injured cats were lagging behind or not.
