We're Gonna Save The World Tonight — ❀

Addercloud had finished up with his chores early today. Not much to worry about, what with the prey returning and the forest peaceful. Unfortunetly, the gentle healer still felt on edge, every mention of riverclan and imagined fishy scent sending a prickle of nerves through him. Still, he had to keep his anxiety under lock and keep, especially after what had happened...Shame still prickled at his fur, but he pushed those negative feelings aside. Focusing on his tasks more than ever helped.

He paused, though, when he spotted Whitescar’s familiar white-streaked tail disappearing into the medicine den. He blinked a moment, before padding after her, wondering worriedly if she was angry at the kids for not picking her tricks again.

Thankfully, instead of angry yelling and chiding, his ears picked up the gentle sounds of conversation. With nothing else to do for the day, the healer was more than happy to waste some time so he poked his head into the den, mint eyes glinting curiously. Spotting Whitescar with Lilypaw and Cherubpaw, the young meddie smiled softly, “Good morning, Lilypaw, Whitescar, Cherubpaw,” his gaze lingered a moment on the little she-cat, happy to the terror-ridden molly calmed for once. It worried him, how often on edge she was, but unfortunately there were no herbs to take away fear. “How are you all feeling?” he asked, automatically. A force of habit.

Because the elder's den was situated right above Adder's, he was one of the first to be aware of Cherub's sudden productivity. Climbing the stairs, the blinked curiously as the little ragdoll poked and prodded at the bricks, calling for assistance. Inspired, he turned to pad off and help gather some soft bedding and twigs and leaves to weave into some holes, when he hesitated at her mention of using dock leaves.

"Ah -erm - maybe not dock leaves," he said, nervous at the idea of apprentices raiding his den in search of the herb, "they're used for wounds and pads," he instructed lightly, trudging back down to the first floor to attrive the afore mentioned supplies, "but feathers and lambs' ear would be helpful,"

Passing by Whitescar, the medicine cat chuckled lightly at her words, "you won't be saying that when it gets colder - or snows," he said, thinking fondly of the soft white flakes that drifted from the sky.

"Thats a great idea, Cherubpaw," Addercloud, echoing Larkpaw's praise. He smiled warmly at the young molly, happy to see she was putting aside her skittishness to help her fellow clan-mates. Though the idea of a future situation that would require in-battle healing made him sad, he supposed he should think more positive ; less chance for permanent injury if he could teach his fellow clan-mates at least the basics.

Addercloud perked his ears, surprised to push out of the nursery after tending to a few queens to find the darkclan leader herself being escorted into camp. He glanced from her expression, to her person, and allowed himself to relax. There was no sign of any injuries or grim warning upon her features, and since he didn't spy any other darkclan warriors trailing her, he assumed quickly that this was a friendly visit, or a peaceful diplomatic one more likely.

Trotting after the group, he stood beside Minnownose, dipping his head respectfully to the tortoiseshell before awaiting Poppystar's arrival.

Addercloud perked his ears at her question. Briefly, he glanced at Cherubpaw, before smiling at Peachmoon, "I have someone in mind," he said with a smile. Though it saddened him somewhat, having to choose an apprentice when a few moons ago his best friend, Otterfang, had had her heart set on joining him in the healing rank. Part of him felt like he was betraying her...part of him felt like he should wait just a tad bit longer...but he knew that he couldn't be selfish and hold onto the hope that she would appear again. Though it broke his heart, he knew he needed to move on, for his clan - for it's future.

And hey, his current choice seemed like she'd make a find medicine cat just as well!

"How is Thunderclan doing -" Addercloud began, before the friendly question suddenly died in his throat. The peace in his expression bled away when he spotted a painfully familiar brown tabby brute making his way through the crowd. His chest clenched at the sight of him, milling through the cats with his head and tail high as if he deserved to be here -

As if he were a clan-cat.

As if he hadn't killed, hurt and made suffer so many of the cats around him.

For a split second, Addercloud's mind flashed to those horrible members. For a split second, he thought he scented blood in the air - gore and death - and for that brief second the gentle healer stiffened, the urge to get up and bolt right out of the clearing then and there so intense that his muscles tensed, ready to follow his wild instincts to flee - run, run RUN -

But just as quickly, he forced his gaze away. Forced breath into his lungs. Forced himself, even, to wipe the terror that etched his features in that brief respite. But he couldn't make himself relax, not when he was so near.

But he also couldn't make a scene. Not again. Not here. Not ever.

"A-ahem," he cleared his throat, refusing to let his voice quiver as he smiled once more at Peachmoon, "so-uh-yeah, how is your clan? I hope it's healing well?"

RIDDLE! //sorry this is so late my dude!!

Addercloud sucked in a breath.

It was interesting, how things changed as the years went by. Some changes were temporary, like green leaves to orange, to none at all, and back again. Some changes were more subtle, but more permanent. Like a young tom's appreciation of the large clearing beneath the seemingly endless canopy branching from the four thick trunks that made up Fourtrees. Once a place of hope and companionship, now just a reminder that dreams were a lot easier to see in sleep.

Still, that didn't stop Addercloud from smiling as he entered the area.

Though it may fault the true peace he had always dreamed of, it was still serene, being here on his own. He breathed in the scents of the forest, laying down the herbs he had collected on the way to keep from accidentally swallowing any.

Addercloud had been wandering the territory, ever on the hunt for some more fever-few in order to stock up for the oncoming winter, when he caught the scent of thunderclan in the air. Curious, the young male followed the scent, until he came upon a familiar ebony coat. For a brief moment, he thought if was Jaggedsight, his old mentor and friend. But the form was too small, and the scent of thunderclan trailed after him, not Shadow. But soon the image of Jaggedsight was replaced by the memory of the true thunderclan boy whom had accidentally hunted in Skyclan once. "Jaggedpaw" he greeted, smiling warmly and he approached the young male, dipping his head politely, "what brings you here?" his smile fell into a worried frown, "is everything well in Thunderclan?"

We're Gonna Save The World Tonight — ❀

Addercloud tilted his head to the side for a moment, before smiling sympathetically, "well im sorry you lost it!" Not only did Addy not catch on to Jagged's odd behavior that promised all sorts of held information, but he also didn't seem to realize that Jagged just admitted to hunting on Skyclan's territory. This was a bad habit of Adders, forgetting the borders so easily like this. One of these days he was going to get himself hurt...

But the young man focused on Jaggedpaw, scanning over the male to make sure he was, indeed, well. He didn't know the boy well, but that didn't mean he wouldn't worry any less for his safety. Especially since he looked so much like Jaggedsight. He felt a twinge in his heart, at the thought of Jaggedsight, his former cross-clan mentor and friend. He had seemed so sad and sickly the last moons before his death. Addy wished he had been there more for the male...

"Your a bit far from Thunderclan, do you want to rest up in the medicine den for a bit before heading back?" Addy offered sincerely, not at all worried about Jagged usung this to his advantage should thunderclan ever attack Skyclan. He had more faith in jagged. In other cats in general. Again, one of these days Adder was going to get himself hurt...

We're Gonna Save The World Tonight — ❀

Addercloud stood outside the medicine den, shaking off the leaf-dust from his coat. The young man perked his ears as Poppystar called a meeting, listening intently. He knew full well that Poppystar hadn't recovered to her usual self since she lost a life. Addercloud, of course, blamed himself for it. It would seem he was a walking bad luck charm for those around him..He shook his head, forcing those negative thoughts away. Poppy just needed time, thats all. Time and a careful eye. He focused on the meeting, wondering what news she had to share.

He grinned and nodded, leading the way to camp. As they walked, he stuck close beside Jaggedpaw, smiling to himself, enjoying the other's company. "So how have you been, Jaggedpaw?" he asked conversationally.

Adder glanced at him sharply, surprised. He lost his sight? His heart ached for the poor boy, and he sighed sadly, turning his gaze away. "im sorry to hear that, but you seem to be hunting well, so im sure things will get better," he said kindly. He blinked at the other's question, and thought a moment, "Ive been grand! Its been peaceful, though a bit quiet, around here, but im not complaining," he purred.

"have you made any friends, Jaggedpaw?"

he perked his ears, surprised when he listed Nightstar. "Void for you! I'm glad you're making lots of friends" he purred proudly, tail flicking amicably.

//ScREAMS AS I BUST DOWN THE DOOR

Addercloud's ears snapped up the moment he heard the screech. He assessed quickly it's direction, and the familiarity of the voice, forcing himself to ignore his instincts and keep calm. To not run straight away in the direction of his wailing clan-mate. He noted right away it was coming from the nursery, and the voice belonged to Cloudspots. In a split second, he he knew she was kitting, for he had predicted it a few weeks ago when checking up on her.

So, the medicine cat set his jaw and bolted - not towards the nursery, but into his den. He gathered the necessary herbs and berries then finally let his paws charge him over to the kitten den. He spotted wheatpaw right away, and let out a breath of relief, "Wheatpaw, son," he told the boy gently, but firmly, placing his thick tail over the younger male's shoulders, "i know its a bit frightening, but if you could help me..." her let it trail, allowing the young male to decide for himself before Adder pushed into the nursery and came to Cloud's side, "it'll be alright Cloud," he cooed softly, pushing a few herbs towards her before laying a paw on her belly, feeling for contractions, "breathe in and out, focus on exhaling and inhaling," he ordered, seemingly calm to all the world.

Addercloud couldn't help but chuckle, watching from outside the two-leg shack that made up the medicine/elder's den as Minnownose successfully convinced the kits to do a chore they'd most likely come to loathe as apprentices. Minnow, certainly, was suited for the role of Deputy - a matriarch of the clan, though an actual mother would have suited her fine. But he'd keep that to himself. "Ive got plenty right here," Addercloud called to the youngsters, waving a paw towards the small mountain of green plant life situated beside him. He had intended to clean out the elder's den himself, actually, but he didn't mind letting the kittens exhaust themselves being productive instead.

Skyclan was what some might call, a not very active clan. Tends to happen after sustaining so much damage after consecutive amounts of Bloodclan raids. That and, of course, with Poppystar and Minnownose as leaders, there was never even an IDEA of starting any sort of quarrels with other clans. Skyclan, in other words, was pretty passive. Thus, is wasn't odd for Mustang to wonder if theur fighting training was lacking. It could very well be, considering many warriors were still healing from the afore mentioned raids and sicknesses. Heck, even if Poppy and Minnow weren't so kindly, Skyclan was still too weak and small to do anything aggressive.

"Greetings Mustangheart," the young man said in his hushed, but friendly tone of voice as he approached. He had been nearby when he caught the scent of Shadowclan. He heard many tales woven about the clan on the other side of the Thunderpath, how they had unfairly attacked Thunderclan multiple times, and recently suffered the loss of both their deputy and leader. The idea of losing Poppystar and Minnownose so abruptly...he shivered at the idea.

"Whats brings you here?" he asked next, the thought of being hostile towards the new deputy, horrible rumors or not, didn't even cross Adder's mind. She may as well have been an old friend to Adder, from how pleasantly he spoke to her. To anyone, really. Skyclan was pacifistic for a reason.

Too many kindly cats.

//ADDER IS NOW MUSTANG'S BROTHER ITS DECIDED

I want to say addy is mustang's little brother, since he's younger...but my dude is mentally a freakin old man so im calling him her big brother fight me

Addercloud wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. When it came to strategizing and maths and such, he was considerably lacking. However, if there was one thing he'd refined over the years, it was his perception. No one was more hawk-eyed than Addercloud, so he noticed right away Mustangheart's wary expression and body language.

Addercloud's ears drooped lightly, a bit crestfallen as he mentally rewound back his actions to see what he had done wrong. He concluded after a second that it was perhaps his ovetly friendliness. Yeah, never thought you'd hear that? Kindness as a curse? boy howdy!

But it was true, as arrogant as it sounded, Addercloud tended to confuse many cats with his gentle, almost loving atmosphere. Though in hindsight, his eagerness to be amicable to everyone was pretty unusual in a forest bordered by often hostile cats. This was a land of kill or be killed at times, and certainly Adder's pacifistic and easily trusting nature have gotten him into...into many pickles...

But, he'd rather confuse cats with kindness than be a jerk! Not that he could even if he wanted to.

"An alliance?" he repeated, his green eyes shinning brightly before hesitating a moment. He wasn't one to act on rumors but...if it was true that Shadowclan had a penchant for getting into fights...Well, Skyclan was pretty weak still, and Addercloud wasn't sure they'd be able to assist in any of Shadowclans...erm...attacks...But that was for Poppystar to decide. But at the same time, an ally was an ally! " poppyblossom would liek to hear this, would you mind coming with me back to camp?" he asked politely, turning towards the Skyclan's camp.

He winced, a bit embarrassed by Mustangheart's next question. He chuckled sheepishly, "Ah, no, im sorry if ive made you uncomfortable, Ive been told I don't often - erm - understand social space? If that makes sense? I kinda treat everyone like their my long-lost friend - " he babbled, fluffy tail flicking fretfully. He thought back to Larkpaw, the old Riverclan medicine cat whom had also acted nervous with Addy's overtly kindness. "Ill - uh- stop, if you need me to?"

He smiled, relieved she wasn't upset with him. The smile though soon became amused as she admitted to being rather awkward. He had never had to worry about that himself since, as you could see, he was always quick to deem everyone a friend , so why would he be awkward around friends? So, of course, Addercloud didn't hesitate by offering, "Alright well, how about we be friends then? That way my behavior wont seem odd and you can have at least one supporter when you enter Skyclan?" he thought a moment, already walking in the direction of the camp, assuming the lanky molly was close in pursuit, "not that I expect Skyclan would make you feel uncomfortable or segregated, we're all rather friendly, albeit a few shy, Oh! Though I must warn you we do have a lot of kits these days, so you might get swarmed -" he chuckled, thinking about the energetic children, "so i apologize in advance for that~" Again, Addercloud babbled on as if he and Mustangheart had been childhood besties. It was simply his nature, never thinking ill in the least of anyone, even with so many rumors and tales of travesties hanging over their heads.
