Paradisefalls was stunned as the list came tumbling out. He hadn't expected her to have learned even half that many. "Tha-that's excellent. How about we review them just to make sure you remember what they all do. Let's start with Borage and Burdock root," he said. "What are they used for?"

The white medicine cat padded past on his way out to collect some more herbs. Since his stock had been ruined he'd been trying to collect as much as possible. He paused spotting the kit in the leader's den. It looked like she was alone. "Popstar isn't here right now, he'll probably be back soon," he assured her. "Everything alright?"

Paradisefalls made sure he was quiet as she tried to sleep. He didn't want to wake her or be noisy. So he set himself to making a pile of old used moss that needed to be taken out. Someone had mixed up good moss with used moss which was far from helpful.

An unfamiliar white tom padded into ShadowClan's camp. His white fur looking out of place but back home it didn't stand out so much. It was great for hiding in the snow that fell in the mountains where SnowClan lived. "Inkdrop? Hawkcry?" he called for the medicine cats. Paradisefalls looked worn out and tired as he'd traveled here as quickly as he could hardly stopping to rest. The SnowClan medicine cat sat down but flicked his tail impatiently. He needed to get back to his clan but not before he got some help. His herb store had been ruined and he had a kit with blackcough.

[sure, I don't mind. anyone can post.]

Paradisefalls glanced up at an unknown tom who had called out and advanced. The weary medicine cat remained where he was. "I'm Paradisefalls, medicine cat of SnowClan. I need to speak to Inkdrop and Hawkcry, I need some herbs," he said.

"Yeah but these herbs are useless now," Paradisefalls meowed. "If you could travel to ThunderClan and ask them for help I would be most grateful. Finding catmint and thyme in our territory has become increasingly hard. I don't think I can restock those two herbs in time for winter if we don't get any help."

Paradisefalls was unsure if he should answer the kit when Nineteenseventy came over. He smiled at the kit then turned to address the apprentice. "Yes actually. My den got a leak in it and ruined most of my herbs. There is a kit in my clan who has come down with blackcough and I'm running out of catmint to treat him. An early freeze killed off the only catmint plants in our territory. Would you be able to spare some for me?" he asked.

Paradisefalls waited for Nineteenseventy to return. He was much relieved to get some help. He wasn't sure if he could cure the kit from the blackcough but he'd sure try. He was worried for winter though. This would get him enough for now but if there was an outbreak of just about anything SnowClan would be in trouble. "Yes, plenty. Thank you, I really appreciate this. I might normally stay and rest before I head back but the sooner I get this to him the better, thank you," the white medicine cat meowed picking up the herbs. Nothing but pure gratitude filled his eyes. He hesitated long enough to await a reply if any before turning to leave.

Paradisefalls set down the herbs so he could talk. He seemed undecided but looked very tired and worn out. "Maybe I should, if you wouldn't mind maybe just an hour or so rest would help," he said. "I can't stay longer than that to rest."

Paradisefalls hoped Snaketongue would be able to get back sooner than later with the herbs. He glanced to Sorrelkit when she spoke. "A leak, it ruined most of the herbs," he said. "I'll need your help collecting more to replace our stock."

"Sparkblossom, she just has a headache and needed a quiet place to rest," Paradisefall's explained.

"Thank you," Paradisefalls meowed before a new cat approached. He wondered how much rest he would actually get with curious ShadowClanners. "I'm Paradisefalls, it's nice to meet you to," he said.

"That would've been quite a trip," Paradisefalls said still attempting to dry her fur. "You are safe now though, we won't let any harm come to you." ScarClan could be ruthless but WindClan was a capable clan. He hoped they'd free themselves soon. Popstar should know of this though.

"Exactly," Paradisefalls meowed. "Let's keep going, just tell me what each of the herbs you know of does." He wondered if she'd remember it all or forget some, it was a lot to remember.

[you don't have to type out all of them if you don't want to and can just say you did. xP]

Paradisefalls smiled, he liked kits or well in this case young cat. "Is that so? I'm sure you'll be an excellent apprentice." His smile faltered slightly at the mention of him mentoring her. "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, I already have an apprentice and medicine cat apprentices are promoted directly by me not by Popstar."

Paradisefalls smiled at the kit. "I'm glad. We'll talk to Popstar and see if we can help at all," he said. He glanced over as his apprentice joined them. "Are you hungry," he asked the kit.

Paradisefalls seemed to understand as he nodded slightly. "It's one thing to be taught about it but it's another to actually face it. I know from experience what that's like. I know you know what to do," he said reassuringly. At the age of only 10 moons he had become a full medicine cat and as an apprentice he had only had a mentor for less than half of his training. So he more than knew the stress of a situation like this except he really hadn't known what to do.

Paradisefalls was just putting some freshly harvested moss away for later use. He was in the back of the den and was surprised but pleased to recognize the voice. Homepaw was his adopted daughter, how long had it been since he'd had a chance to see her? He quickly finished up his task but was careful not to crush the moss flat in the process before he went to join them. "Homepaw," he meowed delightedly. He moved forward without hesitation and licked her on the head affectionately. "How is your training?"

"Hi," Paradisefalls meowed to the kit. Yeah he wouldn't be getting much real rest here but a break from the journey at least. He glanced over when Frozenice came in with herbs. It seemed ShadowClan had plenty, it was harder to find herbs when you had near constant snow.

@Destrey: yes it is.

"That's great but you don't have a mentor then?" Paradisefalls asked sounding concerned. How could anyone learn without a mentor at least learn properly. It had been hard enough for him to only have a mentor for half of his training let alone no mentor at all.

"Well there was a reason for not letting kits help with herbs," he said thinking of Indencre's accident. "But yes we could use some help getting herbs. There are a few two leg homes just outside of our territory most of the herbs I need are there," he said. "Would you be up for a short trip after lunch?"
