Stormpaw
The passage of time meant the aging of herbs. Ragwort, tall and golden, took this truth the harshest as it died off at a great haste. Hopefully, though, there would be some left for the medicine cats to gather. Stormpaw, accompanying Icepath to fetch the strengthening herb, had picked up whiffs of ragwort from the medicine den before, and if its scent was as offensive in the wild as it was in storage...
"How do you do it?" She asked along the way. "Not be so affected by the smell of ragwort, I mean."

Icepath
Herb Patrol The healer stared at her apprentice, craning her long, elegant neck over her angular shoulders, only for her to cast a sideways glance at Stormpaw. She turned away, tail erect as she led Stormpaw and herself confidently through the creaking wood. There might have been an air of distance surrounding the molly, but there was a genuine smile on her face, crooked and holding back a chuckle. When she spoke her brittle voice held no humor, only the simple answer to a question.
"My mentor made me keep my muzzle in the plants until I got used to it." Icepath swept deft paws over the yellow-blossomed plants, putting them into a small pile. The healer was eager to see how her apprentice would react, though her comment was slightly dramatized. She just had to sit in them. "Might do the same for you," Still she wasn't facing Stormpaw, trying to hold her laughter.

 Scarletdrift
Camp - Sneezing @swaggycassie
-x-----------x-
Scarletdrift woke up sneezing.
A chill seeped deep into his bones. Some of that was because it was that point where leaf-fall felt more like leaf-bare, when a cat on the dawn patrol would occasionally wake up to crackling frost in the darkest shadows of camp. He felt that cold itching in his fur, making his ears ache. Most of his chill, however, was probably from the nightmare.
Awake, he could barely remember the details--thank StarClan for small miracles--but what lingered was panic like thorns ripping in his gut, a sharp, icy bite of metal cracking his paw, a struggle that never ended and only sharpened the pain to a razor's edge. Scarletdrift shivered, shaking his fur.
He sneezed again.
Mumbling to himself he exited the warrior's den, careful not to step on limbs or tails on his way out with the absentminded ease of habit. Outside, his breath fogged the air. Another sneeze. "Mousedung," he muttered, then almost bit his tongue as another sneeze came upon him suddenly. Oh, he'd better not be getting sick. He hated being sick more than anything in the world. He'd rather be caught in a twoleg trap than catch a cough--at least he could ignore the pain.
Another sneeze.
Scarletdrift steered his paws to the healer's den. Bitter herbs repulsed him, but the fear of sickness drove his paws forward. Oh, he'd do anything Icepath said to do to avoid a cough. He'd find a way to pull the sun from the sky if that's what the healer prescribed. He pushed his nose into the den, hoping Icepath was awake. If not, he supposed he could wait in the small chamber set aside for patients--it was empty, so he wouldn't be bothering anyone. The bold scent of herbs threatened his nose and he held back a sneeze only by sheer force of will. He really didn't want to wake Icepath if she wasn't up already. -x-----------x-

( sorry that I’ve not posted lately. I’m going through a medication change and it’s been hell. )
Spottedfur — hunting patrol — with Beesong & Mudspeck
While leading his hunting patrol, Spottedfur came to a slow halt. His silver gaze and ears simultaneously focused on the sound of a fox, who was within their sight. Its orange pelt stood over a small doe that was clearly deceased. The silver speckled tom turned around ever so slowly, hoping to not alert the predator. ”There’s a fox and a doe,” he told Beesong and Mudspeck. ”I don’t think we should bother with it. Only StarClans knows what it’s capable of.”
The senior warrior glanced at his two clanmates. ”It’s best if we hunt elsewhere,” he mewed with a flick of his long tail. ”I don’t want anything to do with that fox.”
With that, Spottedfur padded in the opposite direction of the orange furred predator. There was no need for possible casualties or fatalities. They would be better off finding another hunting spot.

Stormpaw
"What, like an endurance exercise?" mewed Stormpaw, mouth hanging agape as the flowers accumulated in front of her paws. "Surely, no! When we speak with StarClan at the next half moon, I'm gonna tell your mentor they were nuts!" Already, twinges of ragwort's awful stench wafted her way. Her nose retreated up towards the rest of her face in response, eyes screwed shut for a second.
"Still, I guess if it means I won't gag during treatment..."
She stepped onto the small pile of herbs with the same care she would take walking over a frozen lake. Remaining stood, she closed her eyes (of her own volition this time) and slowly began to lower her muzzle towards the source of the stink. This was perhaps the fastest way to learn that the smell came, in fact, from the herb's leaves.
The whole time, she was oblivious to Icepath's tittering — so far, she had taken most of her herbcraft lessons at face value, so why would that change?

Icepath
Herb Patrol "You don't have too," She smiled, chuckling to herself, "I wouldn't dare do such a thing!" She laughed to herself, Icepath didn't laugh often, her expressions were mostly neutral or sad-looking. Icepath pulled some herbs out of the ground, nose barely twitching at the stench, her long tail twitched behind her as she attempted to go around Stormpaw.
The cracking sound from her voice had faded and for a second; an angelic sound, which was even rarer than her laugh, softened the her next words. "You're good, it's all good." Yet, the cracking returned soon after, along with a bitter memory. Her ears flattened then perked up, if one even blinked they would've missed it.
Icepath
Interaction w/Scarletdrift The she-cat's nose flared and she sighed as she stretched out of her nest, long claws curling into the soft soil. Sleep continued to evade her, she might as well do something productive. Her tail draped over her back as she greeted Scarletdrift, though she didn't bump her head against his, instead she stayed a few mouse-lengths away. Her brittle voice broke the silence, cracking and the natural sad-sounding tone ringing in her large, tufted ears.
"Is something the matter, Scarletdrift?" She was aware of his running nose, she could smell the sickly stench which had grown stronger and more noticeable to her over the many years she had been a healer. Though she asked, for some reason cats more confident telling her their ails if they were aware of what they were.
Her icy eyes were wide, sparkling in the dim moonlight, it even hid a little curiosity.

Stormpaw
The ripple of the creek near camp was hypnotising, a calming sound for all who heard it. Whenever Stormpaw had some downtime in-between lessons, she would wander down there for a bit of R&R. Today, the creek was flowing with activity as some small fish crept along the surface. She had already eaten, so she was in no mind to hunt; it was enough for her to study their movements, paradoxically sharp yet smooth.
Her reverie ended when a bundle of feathers tumbled in the wind and landed on her flank. Leaning back in, she turned to her left to investigate, realising that their hue was the same as the feathers on Icepath's tail.
Her eyes sparkled with inspiration. What if...
Stormpaw managed to find some good spots on her tail as she groomed it down flat. She then picked up the feathers like she would those fateful cobwebs. A quick fiddle about to fit them in just right, and...
Lovely!

 Icepath
Herb Patrol Icepath was quick on her paws, some would mistake her for gliding if they didn't look close enough. The molly didn't care for the frostbitten ground as some might think, the fur on her legs and paws was thinner than on her body, leading to the ice and frozen leaves prickling her pads in an uncomfortable, if not painful way. However, the molly didn't show this, leaping from cold grass patch to cold grass patch, avoiding any undergrowth.
She was eager to find herbs, her nose flaring as she attempted to distinguish plant scent from the biting, freshness of winter's. Her tail streaked behind her a gray-and-black-feathered blur, disappearing completely when swallowed by the confers' thick shadows.
"Hurry, Stormpaw," Her cracking voice was rushed and her breaths shallow as she pushed herself faster. Icepath didn't want to strain Stormpaw, but anything could happen to herbs if they didn't make it in time. Starving animals would eat them, the cold would smother them without a second thought, ill cats could get worse, and...Icepath didn't want to fail.
"We must find something!" |

Stormpaw's agility had certainly improved over the moons, but she still found it hard to keep up with Icepath at times. The conditions of leaf-bare didn't help; it seemed as if the whole forest could have been frozen over, save for some lucky strips of grass. Her short fur was of little help against the harsh chill, rippling about fruitlessly as she tried to pick up herb scent, but to no avail.
"I'm trying!" she cried, acknowledging her mentor's urgency. "But everywhere we looked before was ruined!"

Icepath
Herb Patrol The molly stopped as they circled back to camp. Her triangular head lowered and tail sunk i the snow. He ears were flat against her head and there seemed to be a dark aura surrounding the healer. Icepath hated failing, failing made her remember things she didn't want to remember. A fallen clanmate lay in front of her for a moment, their coat ginger and spotted, blood staining the snow.
Icepath looked away and the image faded, though it was still fresh in her mind.
"Get yourself something to eat and warm up," She licked Icepath's forehead comfortingly, like a mother would clean her newborns, though the affectionate gesture was quick and only lasted a second before Icepath disappeared within the boundaries of camp.

Scarletdrift -x-----------x-
Snow crunched under Scarletdrift's paws. It was the first snow of the year, barely reaching higher than his ankles: a fresh, unblemished sheet of white. He wished there was more snow, but there was still plenty of time in the season for that to happen.
He had a bounce to his step as he led the small patrol up through the evergreen forest to the northern border. It wasn't often that he had a patrol with both his daughters. Pride warmed him. Both of them were strong, able warriors and it was nice to know they had his back as they checked YewClan's borders.
There were already pawprints in the snow when they arrived. Scarletdrift rolled his eyes. What cat was dumb enough to cross a border with fresh snow on the ground? "How cloud-brained can a cat be?" he said, gesturing to the trail of pawprints with a flick of his tail, pointing them out to Frostfleck and Beesong.

Spottedfur — hunting patrol — with Dappleswipe & StempawAs usual, Spottedfur was tasked with leading a hunting patrol. The senior warrior padded along in the forest, holding his head high. He had Dappleswipe and Stempaw with him, who were mentor and apprentice. He was excited for the young warrior— having an apprentice was always a joy. Hopefully Stempaw would fit in YewClan since Frostfleck had stole him from FlowerClan easily. The silver speckled tom slowed down, padding lightly as he tried not to make any noise. He didn’t want to scare any prey away. With the chilly conditions and light snow falling from the sky, prey was more than necessary. The clan needed a successful hunt today in order to prepare for the rest of winter. Several scents reached his snout, but one was more stronger and greater. It wasn’t prey and Spottedfur knew that very well. Considering in the past few moons that his patrols had gone… well, not great, the senior warrior on guard. ”Dappleswipe, Stempaw. Do you two smell any prey?” he asked, choosing to test both cats. He sincerely hoped that the pair would quickly realize that something was wrong. ( tags: @gloomylatte & Nettle )

Icepath
Giving Beesong Advice Icepath watched, her eyes widened as thick snowflakes drifted lazily from above. Occasionally she would stretch out her long neck to peer at the pale white sky above, covered in a thin layer of clouds, but she mostly remained observing camp. Her long, gray-white claws sunk into the pine bark as she steadied herself, and secured her spot in the overhanging tree.
Most cats went along their merry way, sharing stories or prey, some argueing over petty things. Occsionally her eyes would land on the warrior, Mudspeck, lingering a little too long. Icepath snorted and turned away, catching Beesong's eye.
"Greetings," She bowed her head respectfully to the warrior, brittle voice a little quieter as to not disturb her other clanmates.
OOC: Brownie - would you mind updating Icepath's bio? (tell me if it's too long)
Icepath towers over clanmates, her long, slender body and triangular face giving her an eerie and unapproachable appearance. Her narrow blue eyes add to this, seeming to glare past a cat's body and into their soul, as if searching for something. Her thick coat is naturally curly, but she grooms it to appear spiky like icy spires. Her voice is brittle and reminds those she speaks to of cracking ice, hence her prefix. However, her voice is angelic and she enjoys singing when relaxed, though most of her clanmates don't know.
This healer spends a majority of her days in camp, unless she's out with her apprentice. Despite her emotionless aura, Icepath is just an insecure empath who cares deeply for her clanmates. She'll do her best to comfort them, sometimes offering poppy seeds or calming herbs if she notices that they are troubled. |

( tags: @gloomylatte & Nettle )  ・❥・Dappleswipe ・❥・Hunting Patrol - Spottedfur & Stempaw
Dappleswipe was overjoyed, her tail held high as she padded alongside her apprentice, Stempaw. She was looking forward to this hunting patrol, hoping to prove herself a good mentor to the older warrior with them, and also wanting to see how Stempaw would put into action what she taught him so far. She followed the patrol leader, Spottedfur, effortlessly. Hopefully they caught something today, the light snow made Dappleswipe a bit uneasy for leaf-bare.
Don't put too much pressure too soon! The she-cat reminded herself. He's only just started after all, and probably still adjusting... Dappleswipe hasn't asked the young tom too much about how his life was in FlowerClan, instead doing her best to look after him and provide comfort as well as tough lessons for his own good.
Lifting her tortie patterned head up slightly and opening her mouth, she concentrated on the scents around them. "Hmm let's see, mouse, it's faded so it might be further along now, and-... oh my!" She lowers herself slightly, not out of excitement to hunt, but uneasiness. "What could that be? I've never scented anything quite like it. I don't have a good feeling about it."
