With no choice but to keep quiet as his maw was stuffed to the brim with herbs and he didn't want to damage or drop any along the way, he stood beside Minkpaw and listened to Haycloud and Lizardstar. Marbled tabby pelt drenched in rain, the cold clung to his frame; the excess moisture steadily dripping off of him as if he were a dampened leaf. Was everyone safe? Were there any injuries? He couldn't begin to fathom the damage that must have been caused- the camp had likely been flattened by the merciless winds.

Gently flicking his tail over Minkpaw's shoulder as a comforting gesture, he was relieved the fellow medicine cat apprentice was seemingly unharmed. It seemed her, himself, Rosevenom and Haycloud might be in for a sleepless night if anyone had been wounded in the uproar.

A gash, critical condition, and kits.

Words no cat ever wanted to have reach their ears, especially not when kits were involved. Scooping up the herbs he thought would be most helpful, he swiftly nodded and raced out after Smokehaze. Would he make it in time? He wasn't sure he could ever forgive himself if he didn't.

Mink seemed to have her eye on the kits, so upon arrival he immediately applied the poultice of marigold he'd briskly chewed up in his frantic state on the way there, hoping to plug up the wound and prevent infection. Wrapping the gaping wound as best as he could with the massive clump of cobweb he'd readied, Hawkpaw prayed it would handle the profuse blood loss.

"Hang in there Stormfeather. Your kits are in good paws." he urged, hoping to keep her mind alert and maybe offer the slightest bit of comfort. "How are they looking, Minkpaw?"

Hawkpaw nodded slowly, hoping he was making the right call. Oh, how he wished Buzzardflight was still around.

"I think it's best to get them all to camp as soon as possibly so they can recover somewhere safe and warm." He suggested. Plus, there would be more herbs if needed back at camp as well. "Stormfeather...? Do you think you can make it back if you lean against us? We can carry your kits."

Not yet able to be lulled into sleep, Hawkpaw had taken notice of Mink slipping past, creating a slight disturbance in the atmosphere; a weak breeze brushing past that carried her scent and alerted the blind medic. Was something bothering her?

Deciding to follow her lead after a few moments of contemplation, Hawkpaw took his place next to Minkpaw, Rulindil, and last but not least WindClan's very own leader, the three-legged Lizardstar.

"I saw the stars once, in a dream." He murmured as he reminisced upon the fateful night that he'd been visited by a celestial-furred ancestor. He'd always wondered who that had been. Maybe they'd reveal their identity to the bengal mix some day.

Since WindClan's in DarkClan for the time being, anyone want a thread with Hawkpaw?

//thread takes place after the tornado and in DarkClan? idk I thought it'd be interesting sdhfdhs lol

Blind and in uncharted territory, so many thoughts were dizzying Hawkpaw's mind.

"Now's one of the times I really wish I could see, not everyday a WindClanner ends up in DarkClan." He mused aloud. "Mink, I know it's kinda strange but would you mind describing the surroundings to me?" He asked, finding himself wondering if this area was anything like the moors he had grown so accustomed to. He felt lost here, off-balance. He had really taken for granted how he knew WindClan camp like the back of his paw. Disoriented, he took in the new smells. It was like starting all over. Even if and when WindClan returned to their former camp, the storm would have scattered any landmarks and Hawkpaw would have to memorize everything all over again. Mink that Plays with Lizard

OOH yes to all, I can make the threads in a bit if you all would like? Or if you get any ideas just throw them out there and tag his sub

Hawkpaw had decided to make the most of the disaster. Perhaps he could spend a bit of time catching up with DarkClan's medics? Pushing through the overgrown ivy, the blind marbled tabby stumbled his way into the medicine den.

"Hello?" He murmured into the unknown darkness, the only familiarity being the pungent scent of herbs that overwhelmed the cave. He took notice that his voice produced an echo here. The air was stiff and humid- this was a bit different than what he was used to. OWLGAZE.

The apprentices den- full of strangers, the scent of DarkClan clinging to everything. Not the aroma of heather upon the breeze that Hawkpaw called home. The ground was rather rough, he found himself wincing as a few sharp fragments of rock pricked his pads. He wasn't expecting this; the moors had plenty of plush grass to tread on.

"Excuse me." He mumbled as he blindly brushed past a few nests. He felt rather out of place as he sat down, weary-pawed and marbled pelt dampened. BRIARHEART

Waiting for his pelt to dry out, Hawkpaw wrapped his lithe tail around his hunched up frame. So many unfamiliar scents, and being blind he didn't know where anything was. He had never felt so not at home before, he longed to just collapse into his moss nest within the safety of the medicine den. -Iristorm-

"I did notice the ground was a little sharp in this place," he admitted- it was vastly different from laying in a stretch of WindClan field under the open skies. "Hm, I wonder if we'll ever get to visit the Tribe. I don't know it that would be such a good idea for me though, I could fall off of a cliff or something." He added with a chuckle; Mink's presence helped take his mind off of the disaster that had stricken their home. He nodded in response to what she had last said.

"Yeah, I don't know where anything is around here. I hope I don't trip and end up flat on my face in front of a bunch of DarkClanners." Or in front of Minkpaw for that matter. "I mean us WindClanners are supposed to be graceful, right?"

Tawny ears flicking forward in surprise, Hawkpaw hadn't expected to be approached by anyone. He did likely stand out though, being a WindClanner smack dab in the middle of DarkClan camp.

"I'm Hawkpaw, one of WindClan's medicine cat apprentices. I'm... blind." He added, figuring Irispaw would notice his clouded-over blue gaze sooner or later.

You won't fall.

Hawkpaw was so fortunate to have a working set of eyes, a fellow healer, and a friend in the form of Minkpaw. The silver lining of losing Morningstar and Buzzardflight.

"Yeah! we could bring back some eagle maybe. A good change of pace. That's no easy task though, I wonder how they do it?" He mused aloud. He wouldn't last up there in the mountains, too many steep ridges to slip off of. Still though, he wondered about the Tribe. They couldn't be so different from WindClan could they? Did the Clans have relatives in the Tribe? How long had the tribe walked the earth? How did it start? "I have so many questions." He murmured. "Do you think their version of StarClan can talk to ours?" He added thoughtfully.

"Yeah, at first it kinda made me wonder- was I destined to be a medicine cat apprentice or was I just given the position out of pity because I'm blind? But I had a dream, and I chose to believe in the starry cats above. He explained with a flick of his tail as he pondered the unknown.

Oh StarClan, they were going to re-home themselves in the tunnels of all places? Hawkpaw had always steered clear of that musty maze of death- especially after Lizardstar had lost a life to it. But now StarClan had sent him a vision to go back?

"Hm... alright," he mumbled thoughtfully with a slow, unsure nod. The medicine cat apprentice decided to put his trust in their heavenly predecessors. "We'll have to watch out for flooding." He added, his whiskers twitching in surprise as Morningfrost spoke. It was pleasantly strange to hear his voice once again; he had thought they wouldn't yet again meet 'til his very own paws walked upon the stars.
