 -`-`-Collecting herbs with Storm-mask-`-`-Beesong padded out of camp, Stormmask at her side. It had been her idea that they should go herb hunting, but of course, Storm-mask was leading anyways. It's not like I know where the herbs are. As they padded around Yewclan territory though, Beesong noticed that Stormmask was holding her shoulders stiff, and the expression in her eyes were troubled. "Stormmask, lets stop real quick." Beesong offered to Stormmask. She caught a sigh escape Stormmask's lips but she turned around anyways "Is anything wrong? You look really stressed Stormmask, we maybe talk about it while we look for Raspberry?" They continued on, Beesong taking the lead while she listened to Stormmask. She opened her mouth to see if there was and raspberry hanging around the area. The sharp tang hit her togue, and she walked over to a bush, and picked some out. Then she padded over to Stormmask to give her full attention to her. |

Stemriver
Stemriver continued to work away, until he heard Heavy say something he'd rather expected. He suppressed a mrrow of laughter, before replying, "well, I had hoped so, but I suppose not. Was it a rather good name? Do you remember it?" Stemriver asked in a quick attempt to continue the conversation. |

Heavy »
It had been almost two seasons now since Heavy had referred to herself as the name her mother had given her upon her birth, but she still remembered it as clear as day. She knew she would never be able to forget her birth name. How could she? It had been the name she had carried with herself for seasons upon seasons, until she had been gravely injured and brought back to a strange group of cats who had called her Heavy. The new name had been a surprise to her upon waking up, but how could the Clan cats have known her actual name? Of course they were going to come up with something to call her.
She did wonder what they would have done if she had corrected them and told them her true name. More than likely they would have said nothing and would have started referring to her as her birth name, but Heavy had been so unsure of herself to correct them; she had been scared of upsetting these cats that had brought her back to heal her, and the last thing she had wanted to do was get kicked out before her infection and back healed.
But now she was simply Heavy, and that would probably be her name until she died.
Now finished with making the new nest, Heavy shifted herself to the other side, gathering up more old moss that needed to be thrown out. "My old name was Katydid," she mewed with a fondness in her voice at hearing her old name. "I like to think it was a good name, and I'd never forget it." Even if she was Heavy now, Katydid would always have a special place in her heart.
Wanting to continue with the conversation, Heavy then asked, "Was your name always Stem?" She knew of Stemriver's origins, how he had been born in another Clan beyond YewClan's borders. She was curious now - had he changed his name when he joined YewClan, or had it always been the same?

୨⎯ Dappleswipe ⎯୧
w/ Bubblingstar and Spottedfur
Dappleswipe followed the leader swiftly, her ears pricked for any unusual sounds. The rouges still lingered in her mind like a nightmare you could never quite forget even after waking in a warm, comforting nest. She didn't understand why another warrior hadn't been picked for deputy, someone like Spottedfur, who was experienced and always handled situations so boldly... Dappleswipe was one of the youngest warriors. Regardless of that, the fact of the matter was she had been chosen, so she was ready to serve and protect her clan with her life. It was just going to take some getting used to.
The tortie was attentive, opening her mouth as they walked to drink in the scent of their territory. There was faint PlumClan in the distance as they neared their border, squirrels scurrying up trees, a flower patch nearby... Then, something strange. She stopped, opening her mouth more for a moment before looking to the two toms. "Wait, somethings wrong." Dappleswipe lifted her head, her ears twitching. "I smell cats but the scent, they are very young." She looked back out ahead of them, to where their border with PlumClan lay.

Then she padded over to Stormmask to give her full attention to her. Storm-mask
Given the circumstances of the past moon, Beesong shouldn't have been surprised to see Storm-mask so stressed. It was bad enough that Heavy was still immobilised. Now, Stemriver had come down with heat exhaustion, and so soon after being made a warrior, too... Storm-mask had been taking on a lot by herself, loath to make Icepath worry any more than she had to. Still, herb-gathering duty waited for no cat, and Beesong's suggestion to join her seemed like a good idea at the time. But when Beesong pulled her to one side to ask her about her state of mind, she stopped dead in her tracks. How was she going to explain how she felt without making it sound like her patients were a burden on her? "Well, I suppose" — she placed the gathered raspberry to one side, then got to work separating the pointed leaves from the berries — "I could get a couple of things off my chest. "I don't at all want to sound ungrateful for the opportunity to heal my clan, but it's been difficult for me lately. Heavy still hasn't recovered, Stemriver's ill and I'm sure the heat will only bring more cats into the medicine den. I don't want Icepath to worry about me, so I try to do things by myself. I know I should know better than to take everything on at once, but..." Her ears drooped. "That's why I appreciate you joining me today. You've been a good help so far."

[ get well soon, gloomy! ]  Spottedfur : border patrol with Bubblingstar & Dappleswipe
Spottedfur was surprised that Bubblingstar had chosen Dappleswipe, a young warrior, to take Frostfleck's place. He wasn't going to doubt the leader's decision just yet, but something about it seemed odd. Of all cats, the senior warrior thought that Scarletdrift or Beesong would have been Bubblingstar's first choice. There was no reason to dwell on it now. Spottedfur knew he needed to move forward like the rest of his clanmates and accept all of the changes.
He padded behind Bubblingstar and Dappleswipe, his ears pricking up at each and every sound. The PlumClan border wasn't too far, so at least their patrol wouldn't have much to worry about. At least the rogues were avoidable or rather he liked to think they were. The speckled tom's ears suddenly twitched at the sound of Dappleswipe's voice. "Apprentices maybe?" he suggested, glancing ahead at the PlumClan border. It was hard to see if there were actually young cats standing by the border.
Nonetheless, Spottedfur took a few pawsteps forward and sniffed the air once more. He could see more of the border now compared to before. "Well, what's the decision? Are we assisting them or not?" Spottedfur asked.

Stemriver
- Talking with Heavy in the Medicine den- Stemriver went silent for a moment, as Heavy had asked him a difficult question. Bringing up his past life only flooded him with unpleasant memories. He tried to act as though he was deep in thought, but truly he was just incompetent to answer the question presented. He imagined Heavy's confused face looking at him, so he forced out a murmur. "Uhm, no, I guess not."He continued the search for herbs, but it was clear he'd have to reply with his actual name. "It was Skypaw. I changed it so that my clan would think I'd died and Stempaw was a different cat." He meowed, his confidence struggling to leave with his words. His eyes grew dark, before he turned around to face heavy, his pelt spiked up with horror.

Heavy »
Had Heavy known that diving into the past would have effected Stemriver in such a way, she more than likely would have remained silent. The last thing she had wanted to do was cause the tom any sort of pain, physical or emotional, and it was clear to the sharp-eyed molly that Stemriver had been flooded with emotional dread.
He was trying to pass it off as he was just pondering deeply, but Heavy could see his distress in the way he haunched his shoulders, the way his fur rippled uneasily along his spine. She had unknowingly picked at a nerve.
For a second the calico herself was uneasy. Had this conversation entered into territory that would leave Stemriver mad at her? Would he leave the medicine den and away from Heavy? Would he even want to spend time with her again after this? Her ears pressed against her head, anxiety tugging at her paws. The last thing she wanted was to drive away her only friend in the Clan. She had already thought she done that in the past and the ache in her heart had hurt worse than the infection she had battled.
Stemriver's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked away from her shuffling paws, falling still, and eyeing Stemriver.
Skypaw. In a way, the name made sense. Looking at Stemriver with a new light, she could see how the pale gray of his pelt resembled the sky right before a drizzle or a gentle snowfall. Even the white cutting through the gray reminded Heavy of soft clouds. He had been aptly named, but Heavy couldn't imagine him as a Skypaw - he had always been Stempaw, and then Stemriver, to her, and that's what he always would be.
She was about to say that aloud to him when she noticed another shift in his mood, this time it was more apparent in his body language and on his face. Instantly a protective surge came over Heavy and she shuffled herself to the young feline, pressing up against him in the hopes of comforting him while also making him feel as if he were protected from whatever invisible enemy he was fighting. "Hey," she started softly, "it's okay. You're safe here. I don't know what happened between you and your old Clan, but they'll never harm you again, okay? You're safe here in YewClan as Stemriver, and if any of your old Clanmates try to come back for you, they'll have another thing coming." Even if Heavy couldn't do much by way of fighting due to her injuries, she would do everything and anything she could to protect Stemriver. He was her friend, like a son to her, and she wouldn't let anything bad happen to him ever again.

-`-`- Collecting herbs with Stormmask-`-`-After they had collected the raspberry that they had found they sat down in the clearing, Stormmask told her... everything. She felt bad for Stormmask, having to take care of all those cats by herself, now that Icepath's tail was mangled and she had trouble working. "That does sound hard, and stressful, I mean, all those cat's lives and heath are in your paws." Sympathy shot through Beesong as she got a look at how a life would be as a medicine cat. She had always thought that it would be not as hard or not as stressful as being a warrior, but it turns out it might even be even more so. "If there is anything else that I can do to help, other than just collecting herbs, let me know. I would be happy to help." Beesong offered, just as she pulled the last leaf off of a raspberry. "Do we do anything with the raspberry leaves? Or do we just bury them?" Beesong asked, hoping to find out a little more about herbs so she could help, if she could.

Stemriver
.-Talking with Heavy in the Medicine Den-. Stemriver could feel the tighten as he spoke. Heavy was a rather intelligent cat, perhaps she'd come to conclude Stemriver felt uneasy about the topic of his past? It was quite likely. He trusted Heavy well, so if that's what she'd concluded she probably felt awful. Suddenly, he felt her presence near, and their pelts were brushing. He turned around to fix his gaze on the she-cat, and she spoke to him with warm, kind words. He felt a purr rumble in his throat, and he paws shuffled the dusty Earth nervously. It was comforting to have Heavy beside him, like she was a best friend r a much kinder mother. Uncurling his tail, he gave her a thankful nod. He'd been known to have trauma and anxiety, and it would show at times, but knowing Heavy would be there for him comforted him more than anything. "Thank you, Heavy." He purred. His eyes grew soft with appreciation, before he settled down into the next across the den. Using his tail, he patted the empty spot in the nest next to him, indicating for Heavy to come and rest. He was afraid that she'd be moving for too long, which couldn't be great for her healing process. He snuggled down, ready for a night of sleep. |

Heavy »
Heavy had never been a mother. She had never raised a litter of kits before. Every now and then she did wonder what it would be like to settle down and raise a family, and the idea of it all did have a nice ring to it, but the whole process of finding a mate to share her life with and raise kits with had yet to happen. She still had a good amount of seasons left before she had to worry that she had wasted too much time to start a family, but all of that was neither here nor there. Even if she had never had kits before, in this current moment she knew what being a mother felt like. It was warm and it was sharp. It was the first ray of warmth after a harsh, long leaf-bare. It was the calm serenity of silver light from the moon that danced in the shadows of night. It was the fierceness of a thunderstorm rolling in the clouds above. And as Heavy looked at Stemriver, noting that even though he was a warrior now he was still young, she felt all of that.
A purr rumbled deep inside the molly’s throat as Stemriver’s rigid body slowly released and relaxed itself. While it took her a moment to gather herself and drag her body to the nest beside Stemriver, she soon slid inside its fresh warmth, still purring as she pressed herself against Stemriver.
She slid her eyes around the medicine cat den for a split second - the two had done well today with refreshing the nests and throwing out the old, wilted herbs that had been stuck in the depths of Icepath’s and Stormmask’s den. Satisfied and pleased with herself and Stemriver, she gave her attention back to the tom, leaning her head forward to give him a comforting lick between his ears. ”I’ll always be here for you no matter what,” she murmured softly. Despite not having over exerted herself today she was starting to feel weariness creep into her bones and shroud her mind. Heavy’s jaws parted with a yawn. She shifted deeper into her nest and closer to Stemriver. ”And if you ever want to talk about it, I’m all ears.” Sometimes trauma was eased by venting and talking to some other cat about it, and sometimes it was better left unsaid. No matter what Stemriver decided to do, Heavy would support him.
Her eyes closed as she continued to purr. Her last thoughts before drifting off was of both pride and wonder - Heavy couldn’t imagine what sort of parent would be so awful that their own kit would want to leave, but they were no longer in Stemriver’s life and she would gladly fill the role of mother for the young warrior.
