Cobalt stood bright eyed by the herb den's enterance. Something was on her mind, something she wanted to learn. Herbs. "Weon?"
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]The familiar voice of Cobalt caught Leon's attention. He had been sorting a few herbs that he'd recently collected, but the voice of Damage's son called to him. The young tuxedo padded out of the Apothecary den, flicking a bit of mint leaf off his pelt.
"Hello Cobalt," Leon mewed with a smile plastered to his maw. "What can I help you with?"

"Dada died," she mewed sadly, blinking, blue optics extremely sad. "So did brothew Bismuwth." After that, she tried a fake smile, but utterly failed. "Cobawt lonely and his hewb tutew is dead. Can you teach me some hewbs?"
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]Leon's eyes grew huge. "Damage and Bismuth died?" he said sadly, "Oh Cobalt. I'm so sorry. I don't know why nobody came and told me. Damage is almost like my daddy too, and you guys are like the little brothers I've never had."
It looked like Zirconium's training had now been fully forced on his paws now. He did still want another apprentice though in case he had to take the deputy position.
Leon smiled. He needed to get this horrid death off of Cobalt's mind as well as his own. "Of course I'll teach you some herbs. What has Damage tought you so far?" he asked.

"Dada had hole in chest. Dere was a bang. Dada drop dead. But before that, he has taught me pawppies, juniper bewwies, goldenrawd, cobwebs, mawigowld, thywme, and a few othews."
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]"Very good," Leon said, his voice still thick with grief. The tuxedo tom flicked his tail towards the Apothecary den. "Come on in," he mewed. Leon surveyed the storage of herbs, looking them over carefully before pulling out some burdock root. "Did your father teach you this one?" he asked, lying it down on the ground for Cobalt to examine.

"Ooh! Coby know dat one. Dat is Buwdawk woot, but Coby dunno what it does."
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]"It's a good thing you recognize it though," Leon responded, "Burdock root can be chewed into a poultice to clean rat bites so they don't get infected," he told the kit.
Leon swished his tail. Now that Cobalt was his special deckhand, he figured that showing him a few poisonous herbs that Damage had once shown him would be a good idea. "Want me to teach you some dangerous herbs? You just have to promise to never eat them, got it?"
OMG he/she must be Skulls first(in the closet, no one can ever know except Collateral Damage) transgendered HP owo so happy xD is there a badge for the Apothecary in trainings/special deckhands?

"Ow kays! Cowby prowmises!" she chirped.
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]ooc. I looked at Cyrillic's badges but she didn't have one anymore. It's still a HP rank though but Dawny must've had the badge deleted.
ic. Leon nodded and then climbed up the shelves to get to some nightshade. This herb was extremely dangerous, and killed almost as soon as it got through the system. It was a way to put a cat out of misery, but other herbs were used for a slow, painful death. Leon delicately picked up the herb and placed it down for Cobalt to see. "This herb is extremely dangerous. Can you name it?" he said, poking the purple/blue flower with a claw.
Is it Apocathary in Training or Special Deckhand?

She gazed at the curious-and volatile-flowers with interest. "Curiouwsity?" she mewed, in other words a cute way to say 'I don't know' with a reference to 'curiousity killed the cat.'
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]ooc. I believe they're called 'special deckhand' according to Dawny on the meeting thread.
ic. Leon chuckled and took that as a 'no' that Cobalt didn't know that herb. He was kind of glad though because he probably wouldn't have thought Damage too wise to teach kits an herb like nightshade until they were slightly older, or the Skull's newest high position. "This is nightshade. It kills a cat shortly after running through their system. Very lethal."

Cobalt nodded with interest. "Coowl! So iwt can be uwsed to put down a suffewing cat almowst painlessly?"
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]"Exactly," Leon mewed with a nod. Leon was glad for the changes Voltaire had made to Skull. He no longer had to perform sacrifices and tortures weren't as frequent. He could now kill a cat without torturing them as Damage had wanted him to do. "Or you can use laurel."
The tom padded over to the shelf again and picked up a spear-shaped laurel leaf, lying it down near the nightshare for Cobalt to look over. "Given in the right doses it can do almost anything to a cat. Make them vomit, give them diarrhea, destroy their cardiovascular system, even put them in a coma. If you overdose them it will kill them almost as quickly as nightshade though."
[shouldn't Apocathary Trainee/Apocathary in Training/Special Deckhand be on the grand HPs list of all the site's HPs so people can contact me or Cryll if either are needed? c: and maybe now that Skull have these changes, it can become frontboard again. That would be great xD]

"Ohh ok. So what if a cat eats a poisonous bug, or rat poiwsons? Could I use laurel to make them hack it up before the poiwsons hit der systems?"
(Leon should have a thread right about now where he notices Cobalt is missing xD right?)
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]ooc. I loved Skull when it was a frontboard. Too bad BoneClan kicked them out though. That would be epical if they went frontboard again! They should be on that list. If not I'd PM the thread host and ask them to be put up there. And yes, he should. I'll make it as soon as I'm done posting this.
ic. Leon hadn't thought of that, but he shrugged. "Because it's so poisonous I would recommend trying stinging nettle first, and if that doesn't work, yes, a small dose of laurel might do the trick," he mewed. Leon's problem with training when he was with Damage is that he never thought of ingenious questions that his new trainee thought of.

A look of pride spread across her muzzle. But then something concerned her. Voltaire had seemed unsure when Leon had picked her, and she was sure it was due to her age. There was no other reason. But Zirconium had been chosen at one moon! What was wrong with her being chosen? Just because she couldn't speak as well yet?
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]ooc. Excuse me if there's any typos in this post, my cat that looks coincidentally like Leon is climbing all over my computer desk. She's the strangest animal you've ever met xD
ic. Leon watched as Cobalt gave himself a mental praise, from the look of pride on his face. Turning around, the tom padded over to the shelf and drug down some feverfew. It's name gave itself away so if Cobalt got the name of the herb, he'd probably guess what it did too. "Do you know what this one is?"

"Ooh! Coby does know that! Fevewfew!" she chirped.
[ Stella's being so mean to her right now, making fun of how she talks xD ]
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px][justify][size=8]ooc. I saw. Poor Coby D: Leon would be so mad if he were there.
ic. Leon nodded, giving Cobalt a smile. So far he was doing really well with the training. Damage had done a very good job. "Do you know what it does? It's name gives it away, so it's simple."
