    "Prey not fit for eating can be used two ways. Their bodies can attract larger birds for you to hunt or rodents. Or you can bury it near a place where herbs will grow. They can leech pff the body for nutrition. I'm sure Icefeather would appreciate good herbs. Besides it's more respectful than leaving it to rot here." Mantishaze stated. When she was young she'd always do just that with rotten scraps and prey to gross to eat. Her sister had teased her for it, but to this day she continued to do it. Maybe Cloverpaw would want to try it too.

    Mantishaze followed the apprentice with the intent of helpfulness. Her paws prodded the stiff ground covered in frost and acidic pine. She'd need help regardless. She swished her tail towards the kits. "Melodykit, Wolfkit let's go help. Wolfkit if you know herbs we could really use you."


    Mantishaze knew two herbs clearly. Marigold and catmint. That was just about it. Everything else looked very typical in her eyes.

    Mantishaze nodding. The rabbit was big good for multiple uses. She was surprised that the younger cats knew so much already! She nodded towards melodykit feeling satisfaction grow in her chest. She was teaching! "Very good idea, Melodykit. Big prey like this could be easily broken up. Here let me see the skull."


    She twisted it free and held it be the ears before following Cloverpaw's gaze. She knew that smell. Parsley. She nodded approvingly. "Pull off any loose bones or pieces but bury the main body nearly in front of the bush. We don't want to collapse its roots."


    This felt....nice. Teaching wasn't so hard, in fact she appreciated the looks making her feel important. Also the kits could be involved! Wouldn't that be a good way to stimulate them? Surely, maybe she could ask someone about fun tasks for the older kits to try.

    Praise? Goodness, the ragdoll forgot what that sounded like. It made her ears feel all warm and tingly. Moreso, it validated her. She was doing well still.


    "Feeling in better? Your wounds healed up well." She mewed. Owlflight was probably just hardy that way. It felt like Mantishaze could pull a claw and it'd hurt from leaf-bare to new-leaf.

    Mantishaze was stunned to hear her name called but she quickly moved to touch noses with Melodypaw. Her newest apprentice. She gazed deeply into the soft lilac eyes. She'd train this apprentice best she could. Her clanmates shouted above the apprentice's new name before moving on. New cats were joining. Mantishaze sat close to her new apprentice, approval radiating off her pelt. Thank Starclan! Melodypaw would be a good cat to train.

    Mantishaze moved towards Wolfkit's yowl and froze in place. Lemonpaw had....a stick holding water? No, thin ice? How was it so round? She sniffed and suddenly it became clear. Twoleg object. She wasn't angry like she felt she should be. Like Lemonpaw, she was curious. Her ears angled as she stared at the emptiness that was herself. Well, she didn't care what she looked like, she wanted to know how twolegs did this!


    "Lemonpaw? Do you know what that is?" She questioned, body tense and ready to leap at short notice.

    The air was cold and it moved down, cooling the former queen's back. Mantishaze swerved away from the patch of ground she avoided. It's where they found her kit's body. She moved towards the Burnt Sycamore before freezing. Wolfkit. This little kitten was wearing on her. He could be snatched away...just as easily.


    "Wolfkit." She repeated like an old crow, but this time something was hidden under that. Begging.


    She grew aware of another and dipped her head. "I'm sorry Tansyface. I didn't see you there."

    Mantishaze dipped her head to show Melodypaw she'd be back. She found her new apprentice with glazed over eyes. Not even looking at her, well if he wanted to act more loner than clan so be it, but Mantishaze touched his cheek with her nose as she passed.


    "Welcome to our clan." She murmured before dipping her head towards a few cats wearing big smiles.


    Mantishaze | Shadowclan | 24 moons | ragdoll seal point with white | plotting open


    "Don't be such a badger, Crashingwaves. Well, you have quite the vocabulary Lemonpaw. We're glad to have you." Mantishaze replied twitching her fluffy tail. She shifted.


    "Cloverpaw, have the elders been fed? If so, why do you and Lemonpaw share a sparrow?" She let her whiskers twitch now too. She'd get between anyone to help an innocent apprentice.


    Mantishaze | Shadowclan | 24 moons | ragdoll seal point with white | plotting open


    Mantishaze nodded in understanding. Her clanmate seemed quite hardy! Having bore so many powerful scars though she didn't doubt the pain behind them. "I'm doing fine. We probably haven't talked because I'm quite boring."


    Was that blunt? She didn't think so. She rarely spoke from birth to warriorhood. She had a strange mentor but nothing bad happened. Her sister's kit went to Bloodclan but that was about it. She had a kind mate and a good son. She was rather ordinary compared to her clanmates.

    Mantishaze's eyes glimmered with amusement. Or what could be assumed to be amusement. Her paws worked at the earth and she glanced up a bit more as if gazing over Owlflight now.


    "Well, I'm glad your here. No other cat could handle my son so well. Especially not with our influx of apprentices. I can't wait until Cloverpaw is a warrior." She hummed. True it might be a few more moons, but it always worked to have the extra paws on hand.
