Let the earth guide you - p, ivory - To our resting place

The golden furred feline was gazing blandly at the herb stock, watching them as if they'd burst into blames before her or shrivel up and die immediately. She felt like she'd shriveled up and died ever since she'd whisked her kits away to another queen, and lying to them everyday hurt her so much. No one but Melodysong and Autumnbreeze knew, which was a relief and a crime to her, for if an interrogation arose, there was a better chance that her secret would be spilled.

The feline sighed softly and she only looked back as one of her apprentices entered, obviously excited for some reason or simply in a good mood. She'd been given few nicknames but Cory seemed to have many for her, which Divineplea honestly couldn't say she hated. A small smile rested on her features and she brushed the worried tone off to the side, "Yes Core," the medicine cat responded, rising her feet as her plumy tail waved around her thin frame. Azure oculars dim, she refused to show her inner grief for now, and kept a gentle grace on her features.

The medicine cat had multiple methods of teaching herbs but the more the student enjoyed it the easier it was for them to remember because each was associated with a good memory.

[align=center][size=8]The feline giggled softly at how excited the apprentice immediately became and hurried out of the den after Corey, not wanting her to race off in front of her too much. Seeing her apprentice simply waiting, she grinned, "Come along," she purred, stretching out her limbs, "We'll go for a small run first." Divineplea wanted to get some exercise, as she'd been cooped up in camp for quite some time and so without further ado, she raced towards the camp entrance and outside into the forestry.

[align=center][size=8]An excited grin remained plastered to the feline's young features, watching Corey's smaller body compete to keep up. A purr of amusement left the golden female, loving the thrill of a good run and the fresh air you got. A heavy scent of catmint caught the medicine cat's attention and she slowed her pace to a trot, veering off towards it, "Can you smell it," Divineplea called, azure oculars glancing at her apprentice.

[align=center][size=8]A simple nod was the medic's response and without another word, she shot towards the mentioned herb. Divineplea knew this would come in handy, especially when coughs became common and this was a main cure. "Now tell me," she mewed as she stopped by the plant, "What is it used for?"

[align=center][size=8]Good. She wasn't entirely untrained. "You are correct Corey. Excellent work." Divineplea looked at the green plant with a small smile but that faded slightly when a bad memory associated with this herb decided to shove its fat nose into her head. Shaking it off, she tried not to let her discomfort show and instead said, "I warn you now though, some cats use it in recreation... It is our job to make sure no creatures but us get into our stock of it."

[align=center][size=8]"Yes... The abuse of catmint is what I mean by recreation, it's just another way to say for fun," Divineplea responded, admiring how innocent Corey was, not the least bit tainted by the acts of cruel males.

[align=center][size=8]"Good, you're doing great! Honey is also used to coax kittens into eating herbs, as they don't want to taste icky things," Divineplea purred, adoring how set in learning this young fae was.

[align=center][size=8]Divineplea frowned, never once having an issue when the honey was offered. "Well.. At that point, you'd have to force it down their throat, they squirm a lot but gripping the nape of their neck paralyzes them temporarily. You'd probably need another medic to hold the kit while you guide them down the throat," she responded, azure gaze reflecting her dislike for this method, "Normally you can simply persuade them to take it."
