Oaktooth flinched as the leader growled at him. Had he said something wrong? He hesitated, wondering if he should disobey Windstar, but then thought the better of it. He bowed his head and then left the den. He went over to Argentpaw and sighed. "I don't suppose you have anything for moodswings?" he asked her.

Argentpaw looked up at Oaktooth. "I dunno, let me check," she murmured and shuffled her feet to the stores of herbs as she looked to see what was available.
WhisperBreath smiled at the cub. "Maybe if I was a little bigger and stronger." She said.

Huntkit persuaded hopefully, "What if I went easy on you? Then could you play with me? It gets lonely in here, 'specially when mommas gone so long..."
Windstar moaned softly, "Why is life so difficult?!"
WhisperBreath shook her head. "I'm sorry. But even if you go nicely you could hurt me by accident. Maybe if I was a bigger cat."
WhisperBreath laughed. "That is one thing ArgentPaw can't do!"
WhisperBreath smiled at the cub as her stomach won her over. She nodded her head to LoyalHeart and left the nursery.
Argentpaw came back from her herb piles and set down some small, daisy-like flowers, and a sprig of thyme. "Give her the feverfew if she's got a headache, and the thyme for any other anxieties." She indicated to the herbs as she talked about them. When she had finished, she sat down.

"Thank you," Oaktooth murmured, and carefully took the herbs to Windstar's den. "Windstar?" he called. "I've got some things that might help your headache."
WhisperBreath heard the growl from WindStar to OakTooth. "Here." She said sweetly. "Let me try." She poked her little nose into the leader's den. "WindStar? I heard you weren't feeling too well. I got something to help from ArgentPaw." The little she-cat called into the den. She turned back to OakTooth and whispered, "Maybe it being a she-cat will help..."
Windstar hesitated then mumbled, "Come in, Whisperbreath."
WhisperBreath smiled and took the herbs from OakTooth and padded quietly into the den.
WhisperBreath sat the herbs down in front of WindStar. Then she looked at the kit, a soft smile on her face. "They're so precious." She said quietly, but some jealousy was in her heart. She just wanted little kits of her own.
WhisperBreath smiled at the kit. There was nothing more she wanted then a mate and kits. But nobody wanted her.

Lionpelt yawned and padded out to get a piece of prey from the fk pile.
Windstar mumbled, "You are excused."
Oaktooth thrashed his tail and shook his head. Fine, whatever. If she wanted to talk to another she-cat, then that was fine. He knew he shouldn't feel so angry about it, but he couldn't know why. He padded back to the Warrior's den.
