She had to admit - he was quite large for a kit and he probably could've easily crushed her as if she were merely an insect. The herbs! the medicine cat cried silently. Juniperpaw wouldn't put herself in harms way for the cobwebs and poppy seeds and other basic herbs that she had an abundance of, but still, with leaf-bare upon them, herbs went quickly and each and every leaf or berry should be cherished.
She wondered if she could still host a lesson with crushed berries. Luckily, the herbs were bound tightly within the leaf-wrap so none of the juices from the berries would stain Ferretkit's pelt if he were to fall on it. However, the contents inside of leaf-wrap would severely suffer. Juniperpaw watched the chaos unfold, eyes wide in shock. ``Ferretkit!`` She couldn't help but let the name slip from between her lips. Her tone was high-pitched and laced with surprise, but there was absolutely no sign of anger. In all honesty, Juniperpaw drew amusement from the situation and would probably laugh it off.

Ferretkit hit the ground rolling a little stopping less that a pawlength away from the herbs. He huffed and stood up shaking out his fur casually,” Sorry Juniperpaw, didn’t mean to scare you.” He after all, was only three moons, not a harmful kit, an innocent one if fact. He turned to play in the other half of the den, where he might not hit Juniperpaw, he often did get in trouble for hitting queens and kits accidentally, but what was wrong with having fun? And he never unsheathed his claws, and he gave notice to the cat he was about to squash. Most cats were on guard for him smacking into them, not poor Juniperpaw though, she didn’t know that he was a jumper.
