Hunting (Open)

[*Beechstar*]

OOC: You mean Lunarstar?

IC: Beechstar nodded and followed her queen. She entered the small cave and called out, "Lavapelt?"

Ringtail nodded. "That's fine with me." He sat down next to his clan mate, noticing how beautiful she looked in the sunlight, with snowdrifts all around her.

Lavapelt had been sleeping in the back of his den when he was awoken by the call of his name. It was a voice her had heard before but didn't automatically recognize. He peered up to the entrance of his den and saw Beechstar and her queen, Fawnfur. He stood up, stretched, and padded slowly towards them. "What can I do for you?" He was aware that Lunarstar would not approve and that Prariestep had probably let them in.

[{Lunarstar}]

OOC: Yes I did.

"Umm... We need to see if you can treat my neck wound? Prairiestep sent us." Fawnfur said uncertainly, turning to show her wound. She hated turning her back to males, and any cat for that matter.

Prairiestep smiled and glanced at the sky. She loved the snow. It was so calming, serene. And in gentle snow with a wind, it looked like something from a dream.

[*Beechstar*]

Lavapelt nodded. "Lets see," he muttered to himself. "I'll need some marigold and poppy seeds." He spotted his stash of marigold and grabbed a bunch. He set them down and went back to his storage area. He licked his paws and picked up four of the black seeds. He set them down by the queen. "Eat the seeds while I apply the marigold." He started to apply the marigold to the wounded area, while making sure Fawnfur ate the seeds.

Beechstar watched as Lavapelt quickly gathered the needed herbs. She was surprised he did it so quick and she was surprised. She thought it would be very confusing, but he had probably had an excellent mentor.

Ringtail watched the light breeze blow around the loose snow that was laying on top of the piles of it. "Do you like the snow," he asked Prariestep.

[{Lunarstar}]

Prairiestep nodded, a dreamy look on her face. "I've always loved the snow. Lunarstar and I were born in leaf-bare, and we both opened our eyes very early, so the first thing I saw was a gentle snow fall. The first thing I walked in was snow, and the first thing I fell in love with was snow."

Fawnfur nodded, eating the poppy seeds with a content look on her face. She layed down, looking at her paws as the medicine cat worked. She was quite curious about the medicine process. "How do you know what all of these herbs do?" she asked curiously.

[*Beechstar*]

Lavapelt smiled. Most cats he knew had always asked him this. "It's quite easy when you go through training memorizing them. Plus, it helps to have a good mentor like I did." His smile faded into a frown as he remembered his mentor. She had taught him well and he had grieved for a long time when she had gone to StarClan. Sometimes at the Dream Stone he had 'dreams' of her. He finished applying the marigold and stepped back. "There. You are free to go." Then he realized that he had done something stupid. "Oh, wait! Beechstar, come here. I will give you some marigold and teach you how to apply it because Fawnfur will need more later." He quickly showed her how to apply it.

Ringtail had been disappointed with Prariestep's answer. She had said the first thing she had fallen in love with, so that meant she was probably already in love with someone else. He muttered a quiet, "oh," in a response to her.

Beechstar padded over to Lavapelt. She nodded as he explained what to do.

[{Lunarstar}]

Fawnfur stood and mewed thankfully, "thanks a lot, Lavapelt!" She waited at the cave entrance for Beechstar.

Prairiestep glanced at Ringtail as he quietly muttered 'oh'. "What's wrong?" she asked gently, staring at her Clan mate.

[*Beechstar*]

Ringtail was surprised that Prariestep could tell he was disappointed. He smiled. "Nothing. It's nothing." He tried to avoid her gaze, but had to look at her, or she wouldn't believe him.

Beechstar followed Fawnfur towards the entrance of the cave. She muttered a, "thank you," to Lavapelt before picking up the marigold. She went through the camp, knowing that Fawnfur would follow her. Muttering a soft, "thank you and good-bye," to Prariestep and Ringtail, she exited the StreamClan camp. She quickly went through the territory, being careful not to drop any marigold. She slowed down when she reached the SpiritClan border and waited for her queen.

Lavapelt meowed, "your welcome and good-bye," as the two SpiritClan cats left. He went back to his moss and fell fast asleep quickly.

[{Lunarstar}]

Fawnfur followed her leader, stopping for a second as she reached the two warriors. "Thanks! I'll be seeing you at the next gathering hopsefully, Prairiestep! You, too, Ringtail!" The Queen soon disapeared after her leader, running to catch up.

"Bye, Fawnfur!" Prariestep shouted after the she-cat/ She then turned her attention to Ringtail. She eyed him doubtfully. Normally, she was great at reading cats' feelings, and she could tell the tom was upset.

[*Beechstar*]

Ringtail called, "good-bye," after Beechstar and Fawnfur. He could feel Prariestep's gaze on him, but couldn't look at her. He knew she would see his disappointment.

Beechstar traveled through her territory quickly, looking back every now and then at Fawnfur to make sure she wasn't falling behind.

[{Lunarstar}]

OOC: Is this kinda over?

Prairiestep sighed, but dropped the subject. She hated that her clan mate was sad but wouldn't tell her why.

Fawnfur, despite her neck, was right behind her leader as she ran.
