The tomkit gave her an approving nod, both for her more respectful manor and her smart choice to accept. "And others if I have to" her words made him think for a moment, other cats outside her clan? Now that was a change. Wether she meant she'd assist other clans or outsiders was past his knowledge, but it did make him feel a little better concerning the ethics of what he was doing.

No use waisting time, he had thought ahead and brought the herbs down to the shore with him, trying to keep the dark sand out of it as best he could. He shifted them so that the three plants sat between himself and Springpaw, he'd begin the lesson immediately. The sooner this was over the sooner he could go back to helping Riverclan. "Sorrel, helps build up a cat appetite, while helping quench thirst." hovering his paw over the leafy green herb, he was essentially just saying the exact same thing he told Tansypaw, "It can be used in traveling herbs, and is commonly given to queens after long kittings." He shifted his paw and paused for a moment to let her observe the herb, he didn't know anything about Thunderclans territory, so he couldn't say where she could find it but he doubted it would be too hard.

"Raspberry leaves," he moved on swiftly, indicating the the spiky-soft plant with lumpy red berries, "are used to assist queens while kitting, it helps ease their pain and slow bleeding caused by a difficult labour. The berries aren't useful, but they aren't harmful either, they just taste bitter." Raspberry leaves were near second nature to the tomkit, he had seen it used when he was alive and carried that information with him into the afterlife, and he was honestly surprised she had never (to his knowledge) been taught them. Honestly, from the amount of cats showing her herbs you would think someone would've mentioned something about such a simple remedy? But no.

"And finally-" Sootkit hesitated, his paw half between the raspberry leaves and the foxglove plant. He had thought about this already, but he now had to make a choice. He had three, to be exact, each not much better than the others. 1) Tell the truth about foxglove seeds, with a high chance she may use it against Riverclan sometime in the future, but potentially gain an ally in Thunderclan. 2) Lie to her, tell her its a remedy for something completely different, give Riverclan some sort of advantage over Thunderclan, perhaps he may be able to convince her its a way to strengthen a leaders lives and take Bumblestar down a notch. Of course, there is an extremely high chance he gets called out for lying, foxglove is a common poison, and that could result in loosing a potential ally of his or even causing Riverclan uneasicary harm. And 3) simply say he grabbed the wrong herb. Go back to the collection cave and take a random plant out, claim some kind of use for it and bid her farewell. He didn't know the uses for any other herbs in his collection, so he'd be lying through his maw, and if she knew the use of it his integrity would be questioned, and similar results of 2) could ensue. Sootkit gritted his teeth, he had paused for far too long, with still no choice made. Stars damnit.

Taking a small breath to steady himself, raising his paw slightly while placing a puzzled look on his face, as if trying to recall something. "foxglove." His decision was made. "Its seeds are a deadly poison, so strong that even two can swiftly take down a fully grown warrior." taking the pretty purple-bell flowers he shook it slightly until tiny black seeds fluttered out. Nearly exactly the same in appearance to poppy seeds. Serious blue gaze met that of the calicos, this was his most idiotic decision yet. "I am only teaching you these to avoid them, if you end up using them on a Thunderclanner, I will not step in. However, dare turn them against Riverclan and you can bet on silverpelt itself, that my wrath will meet you. Your kin and those you hold dear, their deaths will be entirely your fault, their blood will be on your paws and your paws alone." His decision was to not lie. To tell the truth as much as he felt necessary in every situation. He would not lie, at least not for now.

Stare icy and truthful, Sootkit watched the medic for a moment, letting his prior promise sink in. "Is that clear?"
