summer days and herby ways

Autumnpaw guessed daisy, whilst Ravenpaw picked daffodil

Hmm, this was an interesting one. After a little while of looking around camp, Snowbeak darted over to a small crevice in between two rocks and tugged at a plant he saw within. Retrieving it the pale gray warrior hurried back over towards Stonepaw and Snowkit, holding it proudly with the hope it was correct.

SNOWKIT

Marigold! Snowkit liked marigold. It was pretty and she remembered Stonepaw saying it was real useful. She looked around, seeing the pretty flowers everyone had brought.

Oh, oh, the final riddle! She couldn't wait! Snowkit listened intently, her little ears perked up to listen real close to Stonepaw's words. A twin to a dandelion... soothing what may walk... hrm. This one was hard. Snowkit didn't know what a dandelion was, so how could she figure out the 'twin' to it? Snowkit looked down to the ground, nose scrunching up in thought as everyone began to bring her their own guesses.

Okay, she couldn't figure out the first part. But she was sure Stonepaw had taught her something that had to do with 'soothing what may walk'. Icy blue eyes trailed down further until Snowkit was staring at her own paws, realization lighting up within them. Oh! She knew!

Once everyone had gathered again, she squeaked out, "I know! I-Is it c-c-coltsfoot, Stoneypaws? Is it? Is it?"

She got another one wrong? Boo. Cormorantpaw huffed as she plummeted down onto her haunches, pursing her lips with thought. Coltsfoot? Well, that’s a weird name for a herb that she had no clue even existed. Well, now she did, but she didn’t before. So that’s used for aching joints and to soothe… paws? Whatever it’s used for, but it’s to soothe something. Other than that, Cormorantpaw just huffed once more as she dropped the daisy, gently whacking it around with her white-tipped forepaws. Well, it was a fun game while it lasted, she supposed. It sucked that she got some wrong, but she didn’t really care about that. She just wanted to participate in the fun.

Aw poo, he got it wrong again. But what did you expect from someone who knows not the simplest thing about herbs? Hunting, sure; battle, yeah; herbs... Nope. Nothing. The last round had just been a stroke of luck, it appears, one that ended that very round too. It was kind of stinky, really, he kind of liked getting something correct. But whatever. It was fine. He'll just live in the wrong and instead listen to what the correct answer is.

Winterpaw looked at the cats. Why did their herbs get listened to? Why was he ignored!?

Stonepaw

It seemed that by this final round, everyone knew what they were doing. Quickly, everyone returned from their scavenging, collections of coltsfoot, daisies, and daffodils filling up the space before them. Hmm, it seemed that most had simply guessed, while others had only listened to the last half of the clue. While daffodils and dandelions were both yellow, coltsfoot was just, you know, a better twin! Daffodils were like an older sibling, but no matter, everyone had tried their best!

"Uh-huh! The twin of a dandelion is coltsfoot! Coltsfoot is used to heal injured paw pads, as well as eases breathing! It's almost identical to dandelions, other than the vertical circle of tufts in the center." He pushed the plant forward, alongside with one of the poppy plants and marigolds. The three herbs, laid out so that everyone could examine them more closely. Marigold for infection, poppy seeds for pain, and dandelion for paws.

And with that, the activities of the day came to a close. After giving the participants a few moments of chatting (not that there seemed to be much talking), he stood up and cleared his throat. "Thank you for taking part in our Herb Trivia Extravaganza! I'm your host, Stonepaw, and this is my side-kick, Snowkit, and we hope you enjoyed todays treasure hunt! And now, without further ado, we'll present your winners!" He paused for dramatic effect, eyes landing on each of the remaining cats, giving each of them a friendly smile. "In first place, with 6 points, a tie between Sunsetpaw and Cormorantpaw!" He'd been a little worried with letting the kits and kit-prentices participate, but evidently, there had been no reason to worry.

"In second place, with a total of 5 points, we have... Mumblepaw!" He smiled cheekily at his buddy. "And in third, another tie, we have Snowbeak and Mistfire!" He began to wag his tail back and forth in excitement. "Cooongratulations!!!"

"Well, that's all for today folks! We'll see you next time on Herb! Trivia! Extravaganza!"
