Nodding to her leader, the tortie dashed off towards the warriors' den, casting sideward glances around camp to check for any oblivious or struggling clanmates. She'd almost reached the entrance when she heard her name being called and immediately recognised Cloudedkit's voice. "Cloudy, darling, don't panic!" she called out as loud as she could. "I'm here, but stay with your siblings, all right? Marbledpaw can take care of you I'm sure. Stick to his side, and when we tell you to run, run, okay?"
Without waiting for an answer, she hurried into the den, the dim light making it hard to distinguish anything. Lynxstripe!" she shouted. "Lynxstripe, are you in there?"

[size=8]Whisperedglory was, in fact, getting better. This she noticed on several occasions that day; first, in the morning, when she was woken up by the chirp of a bird and the touch of sunlight on her pelt, and , instead of sighing wearily and stumbling angrily to her feet, she'd actually felt well-rested and gotten up slowly and peacefully. Next, she'd managed to sort her medicinal herbs a little without spending more than a few minutes complaining about it under her breath... an accomplishment, for the grumpy she-cat she'd become. And last but certainly not least, when Eaglestar called a Clan meeting, she welcomed it and calmly walked out of her den to settle at the foot of the boulder.

When she saw Somberkit, though, trotting eagerly toward the boulder and looking expectantly up at her leader, the familiar surge of fury welled up inside her. Her good mood did make it easier than usual to push it away, but still, she felt bad about it. Let it go, she told herself, and for the first time, she meant it. It's not her fault.

Maybe she truly was getting better.

ooc;; hubble, yup it's kind of forest-ish, but i might draw a little map later so it'd clearer. For now, feel free to just make up, without adding too unlikely thing though :p

Despite her lingering dislike for Somberkit, the Medicine Cat couldn't help but laugh at her cute performance. It was adorable that even kittens like her were doing their best to make everyone happier. HEr thoughts flashed to the way she'd been behaving, and she felt a strong pang of guilt. While she'd been grumbling, yelling and making most cat's lives a mess — especially Battlesong's —, there were cats — even fout-month old kittens! — that were doing the exact opposite, putting a smile on other's faces and spreading cheer in the Clan. Did that make Somberkit, who she'd been so busy hating and looking down on, a better cat than her?

Maybe she should get up there and say something nice and heart-warming too? No.. that's not your type. Coming from you, it would just sound stupid and phony.
Still, she had an announcement to make. "Could I say something too?" she asked, jumping onto the boulder with ease and some of the grace she'd thought to have lost. "I'm afraid my announcement isn't as kind and optimistic as Somberkit's, but it's nonetheless important." she gave a small, warm laugh. Most cats would probably be surprised to hear that sound coming out of her mouth; she hadn't smiled in ages. But maybe it was time to get back into that game everyone around her played, the game of life, and actually try to enjoy it instead of just waiting for the end. "Since we've moved here, I've been very low on most herbs; the territory is big and completely new and I don't have the time to go exploring to find all the herbs I need. I was therefore thinking of taking on an apprentice." she shot a glance at Laurelpaw, who'd seemed keen on medicinal stuff lately; she thought she'd seen her lurking around the medicine place a few times. "If any cat is interested, you may come see me anytime tomorrow; I'll tell you a little about my job, and if you think you'd like helping me with it, you may start your training as soon as you wish. Remember, though, that you will someday become a full medicine cat! So if you're not sure you're up to handling that responsibility, tell me — you can always just help around, instead of being an "official" apprentice."
She gave a small, hopefully warm smile, then leaped down from the rock. "That is all I had to say."

But she didn't go back into her den or go sit down on her own; instead, she started heading towards her mate.Her gaze had wandered to his face during the meeting, and StarClan, it was obvious he wasn't feeling great. And it was just as obvious it was her fault.
"Battlesong...?" she mumbled, nearing him. "Are.. uh... is everything al right?"

Her mate didn't seem to have heard her. Unaware of the story her son was telling, she took another few steps towards her mate. "Battlesong..?"

#crystall

The Medicine Cat smiled a little at her kit's concern. "No.. I mean, yes, you're right, I'm a little worried, but it's complicated. And stupid. I'm upset for a stupid reason. But I need to talk to your father to solve it. Would you mind going to play with, uh.." she quickly looked around camp. "With Marbledkit and Lightningpelt?

#crystall

Lightningpelt wasn't the only one to have smelled that scent. Witch a twitch of her nose and a sudden anxious expression, the Medicine cat turned away from Battlepaw and started running towards the exit of camp. "Wolf!" she shouted. "I think there's a wolf out there! Its scent is near!"
