| Lightningpaw |
Tail lashing with concern behind her, Lightningpaw entered the medicine cat's den, having just spent most of the morning talking to the remaining queens over her vanished mother. No one had seen the abyssinian mix, and the medicine cat apprentice was worried. Her wounds had been horrendous. This wasn't her first vanishing act, but with her burns, the lithe calico couldn't help but wonder if she had snuck out in the middle of the night to head back to their old territory. Try and find her brothers again. Except this time, she had low hopes for a triumphant return.
Her mood low, jaw set in a determined expression that masked the sorrow brewing in her heart, Lightningpaw stopped. There were... voices? Echoing through the empty den. One was easy enough to make out. It was her mentor. The first one, however, the smaller one. The medicine cat apprentice could not recognize it. Curiosity taking over her, the wiry framed molly padded forward, poking her head into the herb storage, only to find the gentle giant positively cooing over a fluffy, pale kit. One of the few born right before the fire, maybe?
Nose wrinkling as a small, sad smile gracing her face, Lightningpaw remained by the entrance, not wishing to interrupt the two at play. It had been some time since she'd heard Cowtuft speaking so joyfully. After all that had happened, he deserved a break. A pleasant visit from a cute kit. It had been some moons since she had been the one who could provide that sort of comfort. The odd visit that could take his mind away from herbs and patients. Keeping others healthy while conveniently forgetting to care for himself. Now she was a part of that herb filled world, and another reminder of his role in the clan.
Shaking her head, she bounded off, making for her nest. She had things to consider. Tests to perform. Herbs to study on her quest to heal her friend. Time for mourning the loss of her mother would have to wait. For now, it would be best to do as she had been doing for the past quarter moon, and bury herself in work.

| As much as I wanted to, I couldn't find a way to make Lightning interrupt these two being adorable.
